This is a system in which a box is unlocked and a baggage can be taken out, wherein a circuit section is provided in each of a mailbox and a delivery box, and wiring between the mailbox and the delivery box is exemplified in FIG. A tool box is connected, and in this tool box, a circuit unit for controlling the operation of the delivery box between the tool box and the delivery box with a house number and a password and an operation unit thereof are provided. The collation of the personal identification number with the box is confirmed, or the setting is performed by copying the personal identification number between the boxes.

As shown in FIG. 1, the operation unit of the tool box includes, for example, an operation / check mode setting button, an operation / check START button, a password registration START button, an input numeric keypad, and the like. I have. This tool box is incorporated in the system as a layout size equivalent to a mailbox, as exemplified in the wiring diagrams of FIGS. 1 and 2, for example. All of the box circuit blocks and all of the circuit blocks of the home delivery box are connected by wiring (power supply lines and communication lines). This connection is made via a connector. The connection between the mailbox, the home delivery block, and the home delivery block by a connector is usually performed at the time of construction. The tool box is usually locked, and this tool box is unlocked and the door is unlocked when checking work at the time of construction, maintenance, etc., or when changing when a house that does not use the delivery box occurs. be opened.

In the above tool box, a resident's password is set and registered in advance at the time of construction.
That is, the personal identification number is registered in the tool box, and the personal identification number data (data in which the house number and the personal identification number are paired) is stored in the memory (EEPROM) of the tool box, and the same contents are communicated to each home delivery box. It is transmitted and stored in the memory of each delivery box. The collation of the house number and the password at the time of taking out the delivery is performed based on the contents of the memory of each delivery box.

In the tool box of this system, operations such as collation of a security code which is indispensable in the present invention and copying of a security code between the tool box and the home delivery box are checked. Check mode is also set.

[0022]

[Table 1] Of course, depending on the size of the mail / delivery box system and the required performance, the tool box can check the connection,
One or more of the confirmation of the setting number, the operation, the registration and collation of the personal identification number, the copying of the personal identification number, and the like may be performed, or all of them may be confirmed.

However, in the system of the present invention, the tool box has a function indispensable to control the operation of the delivery box by the house number and the password, and on the premise of this function, the collation of the password is required. Copying is done. Therefore, more specifically,
The operation in the toolbox is exemplified. (1) Password Registration First, the password registration setting for each resident will be described.

For example, FIGS. 3 to 5 exemplify the procedure for that. First, as shown in FIG. 3, the key of the tool box is opened and the personal identification number registration START button is pressed. In this case, the residence number LED and the password number LED of the tool box are turned off in advance,
Check that the 4-digit LED and 2-digit LED are also turned off.

When the house number LED flashes, the house number is input using the numeric keypad. For example, house numbers "20 5"
Is input, the set button of the numeric keypad is pressed as shown in FIG. Whether or not the input house number exists can be indicated by a sound. Then, a password is input using the numeric keypad, in this example, “3286”, and the set button is pressed. As shown in FIG. 5, for example, after a predetermined time such as 10 seconds, all the LED displays are turned off, and the password registration is completed. (2) cross-check only the personal identification number, at the time of registration of the above personal identification number, if the personal identification number data of the tool box has not been successfully sent, content and different Do Tsu data of the personal identification number is in the memory of the delivery box storage Could have been.

Therefore, in the present invention, it is checked whether or not the personal identification number data of the tool box has been normally copied to the memory of the home delivery box. Basically, a command of "collation of personal identification number data" and personal identification number data are transmitted to all the home delivery boxes by communication from the tool box. The home delivery box receiving this command compares the personal identification number data and, if the data is different, notifies the tool box by communication. Then, the number of the different delivery box is displayed in the tool box.

FIGS. 6 and 7 illustrate the above procedure as an operation procedure. That is, first, as shown in FIG.

(3) Copy setting of the security code from the tool box to the delivery box If the security code data registered in the tool box is not accurately copied to each delivery box, or only replace the circuit block of the delivery box at the time of maintenance, etc. In such a case, the personal identification number data of the delivery box is different from that of the tool box, so it is necessary to copy it. In order to do this, it is usually necessary to re-enter all the password data from the beginning, but in the present invention, the operation of "copying the password data from the tool box to the delivery box" is performed in the tool box. .

That is, the command “Password Number Data Copy from Tool Box to Delivery Box” and the password data are transmitted from the tool box to all the delivery boxes via communication. The home delivery box receiving the command copies the personal identification number data transmitted from the tool box to the memory.

FIGS. 8 and 9 exemplify the procedure for this. First, as shown in FIG. 8, the check mode “07” is input. SET button and function START
Press the buttons sequentially. This completes the copy. When only the circuit block of a certain home delivery box is replaced during maintenance or the like, since the personal identification number data is not registered in the home delivery box, the data can be easily copied by executing this. (4) Copying the PIN code from the delivery box to the tool box During maintenance or when replacing only the circuit block of the tool box, the PIN code data of the delivery box is copied because the password data of the tool box is in the initial state. There is a need to. In order to do this, it is usually necessary to re-enter all the password data from the beginning, but in the present invention, "copying the password data from the delivery box to the tool box" is performed in the tool box.
Operation.

That is, the command “Password Number Data Copy from Delivery Box to Tool Box” and the password data are transmitted from the tool box to the delivery box of the delivery box number for communication. The home delivery box receiving the command transmits the personal identification number data to the tool box.

The tool box copies the personal identification number data transmitted from the delivery box to the memory. FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate the above procedure. Enter the check mode "08" with the numeric keypad of the tool box, press the SET button, and perform a function check START on the password "0002" of the home delivery box to be copied.
Press the button to copy to the toolbox.

At the time of maintenance or when only the circuit block of the tool box is replaced, since the password data of the tool box is in an initial state, it is necessary to copy the password data of a certain home delivery box. You can copy the password data. Of course, this invention is not limited at all by the above examples,
