In addition, instructions similar to the four arithmetic operations and tags can be defined in the script.
[0046]
In this embodiment, a screen described later is defined by such an HTML document, an information input screen displayed on the display device of the client 20 is created, the screen is displayed, and a delivery plan is created via the screen. Input information for In addition, the GUI (graphical user interface) for inputting information has a new feature.
[0047]
A person skilled in the art will be able to create an HTML document by the description of the input screen and the system operation described below.
[0048]
Prior to system operation, an input screen realized by the HTML document will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0049]
FIG. 5 shows an input screen for inputting information related to delivery when one vehicle delivers an article. In FIG. 5, reference numeral 301 denotes a column for inputting a number assigned to delivery (delivery service number), a department name related to delivery, and the like, and inputs related information common to a plurality of work destinations. Since this common information is different for each shipping company, a suitable information input field may be provided as appropriate.
[0050]
Reference numerals 302 to 304 are columns for individually displaying information on a plurality of work destinations. In the present embodiment, the display areas 302 to 304 are in a blank state in an uninput state. At this time, if any position in the display area 302 is designated by the mouse (more precisely, when the mouse cursor is positioned in the display area 302 and the left button of the mouse is clicked), the work destination related information is input. The mode is set and the work destination selection button in FIG. 6 is displayed. When a predetermined button of the work destination selection button 401 in FIG. 6 is operated by using a mouse, normally, a “warehouse” button is initially used to input information related to a work place (in this case, a warehouse) corresponding to the selected button. input screen (Fig. 7) Is displayed. Further, when a “close” button (not shown) is operated, the screen of FIG. 7 can be returned to the screen of FIG. When a “next work destination” button (not shown) is operated, a work destination selection button shown in FIG. 6 is displayed, and the system user selects an input screen of another work destination and inputs information.
[0051]
When the “Close” button is operated on the screen of FIG. 7, information regarding a predetermined item in the information input on the screen of FIG. 7 is displayed in the display area 302 of FIG. 5 as a summary. In addition, when the information input screen of a plurality of work places is displayed and information is entered using a keyboard or a mouse, for example, after inputting information related to two work places, the “Close” button is operated. In this case, the summary is displayed in the display areas 302 and 303 as shown in FIG.
[0052]
Here, it should be noted that the summary display is displayed along the delivery route of the vehicle by setting the input order of the work destination related information to the scheduled work order. Further, since important items in the work destination related information are displayed as a summary, it is not necessary to take a wide display screen. In addition, when printing the display content of the display screen on a sheet, the sheet can be set to a commonly used sheet size such as A4 size.
[0053]
In this way, when the work destination related information (common information and individual work place information) of one vehicle is inputted on the client 20 side, the inputted information is registered in the database 130 of the server 10 from the client.
[0054]
Figure showing the input screen for planning a delivery plan for multiple vehicles 9 Shown in It is assumed that delivery related information (information input on the screens of FIGS. 5 to 8) of each vehicle is input to the database 130 in advance.
[0055]
In the screen of FIG. 9, the display area is largely divided into a display area 701 and a display area 710. A display area 701 is an area for displaying a table (referred to as a request list) having service numbers, delivery areas, and work destinations as fields. The display area 710 has a route code (identification number assigned to the delivery route and information input on the screen of FIG. 5), the (total) weight of items set so far, delivery time, and the like as fields. This is an area for displaying a table (referred to as a delivery plan).
[0056]
In other display areas, a search condition, more specifically, an input / display field 711 for inputting a search condition for searching the information regarding the request list and the delivery plan from the database 130, and a display form of the screen are set. Buttons 702, 704, and 705 are provided.
[0057]
The buttons and input / display fields in FIG. 9 will be described below.
[0058]
A button 702 is a button for displaying display areas 701 and 710. In this embodiment, only the display area 701 or only the display area 710 can be displayed on the entire screen, and the button 702 is used to return the screen to the display of the two original display areas.
[0059]
A display area 703 is an area for displaying the total number of delivery request cases displayed on the screen. A button 704 is an instruction button for enlarging and displaying the display area 701 or the display area 710 on the entire screen. Two buttons 704 are provided corresponding to the display areas 701 and 710. A setting column 705 is a column for setting the character size of information displayed in the table of the display area 710.
[0060]
The setting field 706 is a field for setting the type content of information (referred to as a frame) 707 to be displayed in the table of the display area 701 or 710. In this embodiment, the work address, the delivery service number, and the like are set. One of the work destination names can be selected. Lock button 708 Is provided for each row of the table, and when a check mark is added by operating the mouse, the movement of the frame is prohibited and the frame cannot be moved.
[0061]
The button 709 is a button for instructing the end of input. When this button 709 is operated, the same information as that displayed on the screen of FIG. 9 is overwritten and stored in the corresponding storage area of the database 130.
[0062]
The input / display field 711 is used to input a query (also referred to as a key) for searching for information to be displayed in the delivery list. In this embodiment, warehouse name, flight function classification, delivery date, etc. can be entered as a query. Further, as an option, a case with a time designation, a request case with ancillary work, a request case that requires a preview, Request items with special work and request items with vehicle height restrictions on delivery vehicles can be specified as search conditions.
[0063]
In this embodiment, although there are many new features, a frame in the request list displayed in the table area 701 (information displayed in the table) is dragged and dropped with the mouse to deliver the display area 710. One of the new features is creating a delivery plan by placing it at an arbitrary position in the plan table.
[0064]
Based on the above points, the operation of the system of FIG. 1 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS.
[0065]
It is assumed that the plurality of clients 20 are arranged near the delivery planners of each sales office and the head office, and the server 10 is installed at the head office.
[0066]
At the sales office that has received the request for the delivery of the article, the system user uses the browser of the client 20 to call the HTML document for the screen in FIG. 5 from the server. Normally, the HTML document for the screen in FIG. 3 can be called by inputting the storage directory (called URL) of the HTML document.
[0067]
5 to 7, information related to the work destination such as the work destination, that is, the warehouse where the article is stored, the customer who delivers the article, and the delivery destination who carries the article received from the customer. When information regarding information common to these work destinations is input by the client 20, the information input to the work area in the RAM 20-3 of the client 20 is stored in the server together with the write command (the write command described in the HTML document). 10 is sent.
[0068]
In response to the request for the HTML document for the screen shown in FIG. 3 sent from the client 20 by the WEB server 100, the server 10 transmits the corresponding HTML document 110 to the client 20. Next, the client 20 receives the information input on the screen of FIG. 3 and delivers it to the gateway program 120. The gateway program 120 registers individual information and common information regarding the delivery in the database 130 in the database 130 based on the write command.
[0069]
The delivery planner at the head office uses the client 20 to call the HTML document for the screen shown in FIG. The delivery planner inputs the date and search condition of the delivery plan from the input device 20-7 using the screen of FIG. The input search condition and the search command (defined in the HTML document) are sent from the client 20 to the server 10.
[0070]
The gateway program 120 that has received the search command and the search condition via the WEB server 100 of the server 10 searches the database 130 and extracts information that matches the search condition (registered work destination related information). The extracted information, that is, the search result is sent from the server 10 to the client 20 via the WEB server 100.
[0071]
The browser of the client 20 displays the received search results in the table in the display area 701 of the screen in FIG. 9, that is, the request list. In the field labeled “1” in FIG. 9, information (in this case, work address) indicating work destination related information in which the summary is pasted to the work destination 1 in FIG. 5 is an HTML document tag or script instruction. It is displayed based on.
[0072]
Similarly, in the field of FIG. 9, the work address in the work related information in which the summary is pasted to the work 2 of FIG. 5 is displayed based on the tag or script instruction of the HTML document.
[0073]
In the work memory in the RAM 20-3 in the client 20, work destination information (referred to as a plurality of data sets and data sets input on the screen of FIG. 5) corresponding to the request list and work plan frames is stored. Storage areas are prepared.
[0074]
In the route record field of the display area 710, information on the route record in the information extracted from the database 130 and transmitted to the client 20 is displayed, and other fields are left blank.
[0075]
As information to be displayed, information corresponding to the type selected in the setting field 706 is extracted from the received information. In the example of FIG. 9, the work address is displayed in the table in the request list in the display area 701, and the delivery service number is displayed in the table in the delivery plan in the display area 710. (Step S10) .
[0076]
After the delivery planner designates a specific frame (character string in the table) in the request list, for example, the frame indicated by reference numeral 712 with the mouse (Step S20) , Drag and drop it to a predetermined position in the delivery plan table, that is, in the row where the route record or region matches, to the position of the column of the time you want to deliver (Step S30) . As a result, the data set designated by the frame 712 is stored in the work area in the RAM 20-3 from the corresponding storage area of the request list in the work memory in the RAM 20-3 (the storage area corresponding to the frame first designated by the mouse). Is copied and stored in the corresponding storage area (storage area corresponding to the position dropped with the mouse). Further, the information designated by the button 706, in this case, the delivery number is extracted from the information stored in a copy and displayed at the drop position in the delivery plan. In FIG. 9, a state before being dropped is displayed.
[0077]
By performing such a drag and drop operation, the browser of the client 20 stores the data set of the work destination related information of the designated frame from the request list area in the work memory in the RAM 20-3 to the work plan list area. Been (Step S40) The work plan, i.e. the route and time for carrying the requested goods, is determined (step Pu S 50). These series of processes are executed on the client 20 side in accordance with the definition of the script of the HTML document.
[0078]
Further, for the row subjected to the drop processing, the weights of the articles in the work item data set arranged in the row are summed, and the display of the weight field is updated.
[0079]
When the above processing is repeated for each work destination, the work plan is completed.
[0080]
When the delivery planner prints the screen of FIG. 9 and operates the “confirm” button 709 of FIG. 9 with the mouse, the data set stored in the delivery plan area of the work memory in the RAM 20-3 is transferred from the client 20. The data is sent to the server 10 and written into a dedicated area of the database 130 by the gateway program 120.
[0081]
If the delivery planner wants to correct the delivery plan, enter the search conditions on the screen of FIG. 9 and the data set that matches the search conditions and is displayed as a frame in the request list and as a frame in the delivery plan list A data set to be displayed is read from the database 130 and displayed on the screen of the client 20 in FIG. When the planner performs a drag and drop operation on the frames in the delivery plan list, the storage area of the data set on the work memory in the RAM 20-3 also moves corresponding to the movement of the frames. In accordance with the operation of the “confirm” button 709, the changed request list and delivery plan data set are overwritten and stored in the database 130 of the server 10.
[0082]
In order to extract a delivery plan related data set from the database 130, the following processing may be performed. Since the work-related data set that matches the search condition includes a root record, the data set that matches the root record can be easily extracted from the work plan data set storage area of the database 130.
[0083]
In this way, after the delivery plan is created on the display screen of FIG. 9, the created document is printed, and the transportation vehicle is arranged based on the printing result.
[0084]
The present embodiment further has a function of checking the work order so that the display of the summary of work places in FIG. 5 is the work order (work order for delivery and collection of articles). The processing procedure for this is shown in FIG. The HTML document tags and scripts for the screens of FIGS. 5 to 9 are defined so that the input process corresponding to this processing procedure can be executed.

Judgment criteria for checking work order constraints are as follows.
Criterion (1): The work place that comes to work place 1 in FIG. 5 must not be a storage place (a place for storing collected articles).
Criterion (2): When “warehouse” is selected as the work place, it must not be after work place 2.
Criterion (3): Restrictions are placed on the goods delivered to the work place or the discarded goods (collected goods) received from the work place. The restrictions are the contents of the article and the presence or absence of vehicle height restrictions at the work site.
[0086]
The check function will be described with reference to FIG. When the system user designates the area 302 of the work place 1 on the screen of FIG. 5 and operates the work place selection button (work place tag) in 401 of FIG. 6, the operation is recognized and the following processing is performed ( Step S100 → S110). Here, when the system user operates the “storage destination” button, in step S112, the type of the button operated by the CPU 20-5 is determined, and the violation of the above criterion (1), that is, the “storage destination” button. An operation is detected and an error is displayed (step S115). Also, the input information is invalidated.
[0087]
When the “customer” button is selected with the work destination selection button, the operation is recognized by the CPU 20-5, the input screen is guided from the ROM 20-1 or the auxiliary storage device 20-15, and the customer is displayed on the display device 20-11. An information input screen (not shown) appears. After inputting information on this screen, if the “next work destination” button 502 provided at the upper right of the work destination related information input screen is operated as shown in FIG. 7 or the like, this operation is recognized, and the work shown in FIG. A destination selection button is displayed (steps S130 → S200). If the system user makes a mistake and selects a warehouse as a work destination, a violation of the above criterion (2) is detected in step S210 and an error is displayed (step S205).
[0088]
Further, when the system user selects another work destination, the CPU 20 determines whether or not the “warehouse” selection button is newly operated by the loop processing of steps S200 to S230 in accordance with the operation of the “next work destination” button. -5 is checked (step S210).
[0089]
When the input operation is completed and the system user operates the “close” button, the summary of the work destination related information input so far is displayed in the display areas 302 to 304 in FIG. 5 (steps S240 → S250). . Finally, in step S260, it is determined whether or not the criterion (3) is violated. If a violation occurs, an error is displayed and the input is invalidated (step S265).
[0090]
The above processing is processing when a plurality of work destinations are selected. However, when only one work destination is selected, the procedure proceeds to steps S100 to S160, and in step S160, the standard (3 ) Determine whether there is a violation. If a violation is detected, an error is displayed and the input information is invalidated.
[0091]
By checking the selection order of the work destinations of the system user according to such a processing procedure, the order of the work destinations set by the system user can be prevented from becoming an unusable vehicle transport route.
[0092]
