For example, as shown in FIG. 5, the selection of an empty warehouse by the warehouse selection unit 206 (S402) may be performed after the collection reception unit 207 receives a package collection request from the user terminal 103. In the case of this process, the receipt of the storage case (S403) is performed after the receipt of the luggage deposit reservation and before the receipt of the luggage collection request.

  Next, the process of inventory management by the user will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing a flow of processing for inventory management by a user. As shown in the figure, when the user terminal 103 accesses the inventory management server 101, the inventory management server 101 transmits data of an HTML document for displaying the inventory management page to the user terminal 103. In the inventory management page, when a browsing request regarding warehousing information, inventory information, shipping information, and baggage information regarding the user's luggage is made from the user terminal 103, the inventory management unit 209 accepts the browsing request (S501). Further, based on the user identifier, the inventory management unit 209 searches the stock database 216 and extracts the storage information, stock information, and delivery information of the package associated with the user identifier. The package information is retrieved from the package information database 215 and extracted. Each extracted information is transmitted to the user terminal 103 and displayed on the display (S502). As a result, the user can check the package stored in the warehouse.

  In the case of carrying out a package delivery process, the process flow is as shown in FIG. FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing the flow of the package delivery process. As shown in the figure, the user issues a package delivery instruction from the inventory management page. That is, in response to a request for browsing the inventory management page from the user terminal 103 (S501), the inventory management page is displayed on the display of the user terminal 103 (S502). The stock management page is provided with a button or the like for instructing delivery from the storage warehouse for the stored packages. When the user presses the button, the inventory management server 101 transmits HTML document data for displaying the delivery acceptance page to the user terminal 103. The user inputs necessary information such as the date and time of delivery and a package identifier on the delivery acceptance page, and transmits them to the inventory management server 101. In addition, you can choose whether to send the package to a registered address or other address. If you choose to send to a different address, the name and name of the address, Information such as address and contact information is input and transmitted to the inventory management server 101. Here, the reason why the user inputs the delivery destination of the package is, for example, to cope with the case where the user wants to send the package to a third party other than his / her home. As a result, it is possible to eliminate the trouble of the user himself / herself sending the package to a third party after the delivery to the home once, and the cost of the user can be reduced.

  When the necessary information is transmitted, the unloading reception unit 208 of the inventory management server 101 receives the unloading of the package (S601). Next, the unloading reception unit 208 searches for package information that the user desires to unload based on the package identifier, and extracts the package information from the package information database 215. Also, warehouse information such as storage location information is extracted from the warehouse information database 214 based on the package identifier. Further, the delivery acceptance unit 208 transmits warehouse information such as package information such as a package delivery destination and a package identifier, and storage location information to the warehouse terminal 104 of the warehouse where the package is stored, and issues a delivery instruction. (S603). In the warehouse that has received the delivery instruction, the package is delivered to the delivery destination desired by the user. When the delivery of the package is completed, the warehouse terminal 104 transmits the delivery information such as the package identifier, the user identifier, the date and time of delivery, and the delivery destination to the inventory management server 101. The package identifier of the delivered package is associated with the user identifier and stored in the package information database 215. The delivery information is stored in the inventory database 216 in association with the package identifier or the user identifier.

  When the user wants to attach a document such as a delivery note regarding the delivery of the package, a function for attaching the delivery note or the like to the delivery acceptance page may be added. In this case, the user is allowed to input whether or not an invoice is attached on the delivery reception page. Then, when the user makes a cargo delivery request on the delivery acceptance page, the inventory management server 101 is also made to transmit information such as a delivery note created by the user himself / herself. The transmission method is not particularly limited, and for example, transmission using a transmission form or e-mail transmission is possible. The transmission form can be realized by a CGI program or a PHP program. In the case of e-mail transmission, it can be realized by text data, PDF data, or the like. The delivery accepting unit 208 also accepts attachment of a delivery note and the like, transmits the information to the warehouse terminal 104 of the warehouse where the package is stored, and gives an instruction to attach the delivery note. When the warehouse at the storage location receives an instruction for attaching a delivery note, etc., it prints the delivery note on which information such as the delivery note is printed, attaches it to the package, and delivers the package.

  In addition, a function for packing a package in a gift case and issuing it may be added to the store acceptance page. In this case, the user selects and gives a gift function when there is a request for packing in the gift case on the delivery acceptance page. When the user issues a package delivery request on the delivery acceptance page, information regarding the presence / absence of packaging in the gift case is also transmitted to the inventory management server 101 at the same time as the destination. The delivery accepting unit 208 also accepts the packing in the gift case, transmits the information to the warehouse terminal 104 of the warehouse where the package is stored, and instructs the packing in the gift case. When the storage warehouse receives instructions for packing in the gift case, it packs the package in the gift case and delivers it to the desired delivery destination.

Next, a process for dividing and storing a package will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the divided storage process for packages.
A user who stores a plurality of packages in an arbitrary warehouse using the same storage case can divide the packages and store them in two or more storage cases. In this case, the divided storage may be performed in the same warehouse or in different warehouses. An instruction to divide and store a package can be given from the inventory management page. That is, the inventory management page is displayed on the display of the user terminal 103 in response to a request for browsing the inventory management page from the user terminal 103. On the inventory management page, the user can check the inventory in which multiple packages are stored in the same storage case, select a package to be divided, and instruct the divided storage of the package. it can. When the package information of the package to be divided and the information of the divided storage instruction are transmitted from the user terminal 103 to the inventory management server 101, the reservation receiving unit 205 of the inventory management server 101 receives the reservation for depositing the divided storage (S701). . In addition, the reservation receiving unit 205 assigns a package identifier to a package scheduled to be divided and stored in another storage case. The assigned package identifier is stored in the package information database 215 in association with the user identifier.

  Subsequently, the warehouse selection unit 206 selects a storage destination warehouse for the packages to be divided and stored (S702). In this case, when it is possible to further store a part of the luggage in the stored warehouse, the stored warehouse is selected. However, if it cannot be stored in the same warehouse, based on the location information of the user information stored in the user information database 213 and the warehouse information stored in the warehouse information database 214, the warehouse In accordance with the vacancy status, the warehouse is sequentially selected from the warehouse closest to the user's location. Further, the warehouse selection unit 206 selects the storage location of the storage case in the storage section in the empty warehouse by searching the storage location information stored in the warehouse information database 214. After selecting the storage location, the storage location information is stored in the warehouse information database 214 in association with the package identifier of the package scheduled to be divided and stored.

  Note that the user can also select the warehouse where the parcels to be divided are stored. In this case, the inventory management page is provided with a selection button for the user himself to select a storage location warehouse for the packages to be divided and stored. Based on the warehouse information stored in the warehouse information database 214, the warehouse selection unit 206 can extract a plurality of empty warehouse information and display them on the deposit reservation page so that the user can select them.

  When an empty warehouse is selected, the unloading reception unit 208 searches for the package information regarding the package to be divided and stored based on the package identifier and extracts it from the package information database 215. Also, warehouse information such as storage location information is extracted from the warehouse information database 214 based on the package identifier. Further, the delivery accepting unit 208 transmits the warehouse information such as the divisional storage request, the delivery destination of the package, the package information such as the package identifier, and the storage location information to the warehouse terminal 104 of the storage warehouse, and instructs the delivery. (S703). In the warehouse that has received the delivery instruction, the package to be divided is sent to an empty warehouse destination. When the delivery of the package is completed, the delivery information is transmitted from the warehouse terminal 104 to the inventory management server 101, and the delivery information is stored in the inventory database 216 (S704). In addition, when the divided packages are received into an empty warehouse, the storage information is transmitted to the inventory management server 101 from the warehouse terminal 104 provided in the warehouse. The received warehousing information is stored in the inventory database 216 (S704). In addition, the package information related to the received package is also transmitted, and the transmitted package information is stored in the package information database 215.

  As described above, the inventory management system of the present embodiment makes it possible to divide and store a plurality of packages stored in one storage case, thereby improving the convenience of user inventory management. Can do.

  Next, when multiple packages are stored in different storage cases in the same warehouse, or when packages are stored in different warehouses, these packages are stored in one storage case in the same warehouse. The batch storage process to be stored will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of package storage processing.

  A user who stores a plurality of packages in different warehouses or stores them in different storage cases even in the same warehouse can collectively store these packages in one storage case. An instruction for package storage can be given from the inventory management page. That is, the inventory management page is displayed on the display of the user terminal 103 in response to a request for browsing the inventory management page from the user terminal 103. On the inventory management page, the user can check the inventory in which a plurality of packages are stored separately, select a package to be stored in a lump, and instruct batch storage of the package. When the package information of packages to be stored in batch and the information of the batch storage instruction are transmitted to the inventory management server 101, the reservation receiving unit 205 of the inventory management server 101 receives a reservation for batch deposit (S801). In addition, the reservation receiving unit 205 assigns a new package identifier to the package to be stored in a lump, and stores the information of the package identifier in the package information database 215 in association with the user identifier.

  Subsequently, the warehouse selection unit 206 selects a storage destination warehouse for packages to be collectively stored (S802). In this case, if all the packages are stored in the same warehouse and there is an empty space in the warehouse, the warehouse selection unit 206 selects the warehouse as the storage destination. However, when each is stored in a different warehouse, or when there is no free space, the warehouse selection unit 206 uses the location information of the user information stored in the user information database 213 and the warehouse information database 214. Based on the warehouse information stored in, the warehouse closest to the user's location is selected according to the availability of the warehouse. Further, the warehouse selection unit 206 preferentially selects the storage location of the currently stored luggage as the storage location of the storage case in the storage section in the empty warehouse. After selecting the storage location, the storage location information is stored in the warehouse information database 214 in association with the package identifier of the packages scheduled to be stored in a lump.

  When an empty warehouse is selected, the unloading reception unit 208 extracts package information related to packages to be collectively stored from the package information database 215. Further, the batch storage request and the package information are transmitted to the warehouse terminal 104 of the storage warehouse, and a delivery instruction for packages stored in a batch is given to the empty warehouse selected by the warehouse selection unit 206 (S803). In the warehouse that has received the delivery instruction, the package is delivered to an empty warehouse destination. When the delivery of the package is completed, the delivery information is transmitted from the warehouse terminal 104 to the inventory management server 101, and the delivery information is stored in the inventory database 216 (S804). Further, when all the parcels are stored in an empty warehouse and stored in one storage case, the storage information is transmitted to the inventory management server 101 from the warehouse terminal 104 provided in the warehouse. The transmitted warehousing information is stored in the inventory database 216 (S804). In addition, the package information related to the received package is also transmitted, and the transmitted package information is stored in the package information database 215.

  As described above, the inventory management system according to the present embodiment enables a plurality of packages to be stored in a lump, thereby reducing the number of stored packages, thereby reducing the cost of the user. In addition, it is possible to promote the effective use of storage space for businesses that provide inventory management services, which can contribute to an improvement in the operating rate of the warehouse.

Next, a disposal process for stored packages will be described. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of package disposal processing.
A user who deposits luggage in the warehouse can instruct the disposal of the luggage. A package disposal instruction can be issued from the inventory management page. That is, the inventory management page is displayed on the display of the user terminal 103 in response to a request for browsing the inventory management page from the user terminal 103. On the inventory management page, the user can check the inventory of the stored packages, select the packages to be discarded, and instruct the disposal of the packages. When the package discard instruction information is transmitted, the reservation receiving unit 205 receives the selected package discard reservation (S901).

  Based on the package identifier of the package to be discarded, the delivery reception unit 208 searches and extracts the package information of the package from the package information database 215. Further, based on the package identifier, warehouse information such as storage location information is also retrieved from the warehouse information database 214 and extracted. Further, the delivery accepting unit 208 transmits the package information such as the package identifier, the warehouse information such as the storage location information, and the information of the disposal instruction to the warehouse terminal 104 of the warehouse where the package is stored, and discards the package. An instruction is given (S902). In the warehouse that received the disposal instruction, the package is discarded. When the package disposal is completed, the package disposal information is transmitted from the warehouse terminal 104 to the inventory management server 101, and the disposal information is stored in the inventory database 216 (S903).

  In the discarding process, when a plurality of packages are stored in one storage case, a part of the packages can be discarded. In this case, only the package identifier of the package to be discarded may be selected and an instruction for discarding the package should be given.

  As described above, the inventory management system according to the present embodiment enables the disposal of the package to allow the user to deliver the unneeded package to the home and to omit the time and effort for subsequent disposal.
