  Here, in the system for giving points corresponding to the collected garbage at the time of collection of resource garbage, if a system such as a store or a center is used to give points by human intervention, labor costs increase, and The return rate of points to be used may decrease, or the operation of the collection system itself may not be feasible, which may reduce user convenience. On the other hand, if a system for collecting resource garbage unattended is used, there is a concern that the collection system itself may be misused, such as illegally acquiring only points.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-described circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a resource garbage collection system capable of suppressing fraud while improving user convenience.

  Means suitable for solving the above-mentioned problem will be described while showing the effects and the like.

  The resource garbage collection system of the means 1 includes a collection unit (collection unit 30) that collects at least resource garbage including hardware, and a point providing unit (control device) that awards points according to the resource garbage collected in the collection unit. A function for executing a point management process by the controller 51), an issuance unit for issuing a membership card (a function for executing a membership card issuance process by the control device 50), and the member card. Setting means (a function of executing a password setting process by the control device 50) for setting a password in association with the password. The point giving means displays the membership card and inputs the password to an input unit (touch panel). 44, 94), it is possible to award points according to the above-mentioned resource waste. An installation section for installing a certificate (license reading section 46); and an information acquisition section for acquiring personal information from a license installed in the installation section when the issuing section issues the membership card (by the control device 50). A function of executing a license reading process) and an output unit (a function of executing the process of step S209 by the control device 50) for outputting the personal information acquired by the information acquiring unit to a management server (management server 100). Means for classifying the personal information into first information including the face photograph data of the license and second information including at least the name and address data of the license (member information management by the management server 100) The management server includes a normal administrator who can browse only the first information, and the first information and the second information of the personal information.

In addition, when issuing a membership card, the personal information is output to the management server from the license installed in the installation section, so the management server associates the membership card with the personal information and stores it. It is possible to specify the person who performed the act on the management server side, even if the act is illegal. On the other hand, if personal information from the license is configured so that all information can always be viewed on the management server side, it is necessary to specially prepare personnel for information management on the management server side. There is a concern that the overall cost will increase. Therefore, the personal information from the license is divided into first information including face photograph data of the license and second information including name and address data. If the configuration is such that the administrator who can browse on the side is divided into different authorities, it is possible to suppress an increase in cost related to information management, and to further improve the convenience of the user by reducing the point giving rate to that extent. be able to.

  According to the above configuration, in a configuration in which points are given according to weight and frequency, if information on weight collected per unit period can be grasped by the management server, the use range assumed by the collection system is assumed. If the weight deviates from the range (for example, the weight deviates from the range brought in as household waste), it can be grasped. If the information on the weight is used as a material for judging whether or not fraud has been committed, it is possible to identify unexpected use that could lead to fraud with the management server, and to further reduce fraud. It becomes easy to specify. In addition, since the point giving is not stopped, but is firstly grasped by the management server, it is possible to avoid such a problem that the point giving to the person who has properly brought in the garbage is stopped due to a system error or the like.

  In the resource waste collection system according to the fourth aspect, in any one of the first to third aspects, the point assigning unit assigns the points according to the weight or frequency of the resource waste collected in the collection unit, The management server is characterized in that it has second grasping means (a function of executing the processing of step S507 by the management server 100) for grasping the information on the frequency per unit period.

  According to the above configuration, in a configuration in which points are given according to weight and frequency, if information on the frequency collected per unit period can be grasped by the management server, the use range assumed by the collection system is assumed. If the frequency deviates from the range (for example, the frequency deviates from the range brought in as household waste), it can be grasped. If the information on the frequency is used as a material for judging whether or not fraud has been committed, it is possible to identify unexpected use that could lead to fraud with the management server, and the fraud can be further reduced. It becomes easy to specify. In addition, since the point giving is not stopped, but is firstly grasped by the management server, it is possible to avoid such a problem that the point giving to the person who has properly brought in the garbage is stopped due to a system error or the like.

In addition, when issuing a membership card, the personal information is output to the management server from the license installed in the installation section, so the management server associates the membership card with the personal information and stores it. It is possible to specify the person who performed the act on the management server side, even if the act is illegal. On the other hand, if personal information from the license is configured so that all information can always be viewed on the management server side, it is necessary to specially prepare personnel for information management on the management server side. There is a concern that the overall cost will increase. Therefore, the personal information from the license is divided into first information including the face photograph data of the license and second information including the name and address data, and an area for storing each of the divided information. Is stored differently, and an administrator who can view each area on the management server side is divided into different authorities, so that it is possible to suppress an increase in cost related to information management. In particular, in the above-described configuration, unless the member card issuance permission information is obtained from the management server, the member card can be prevented from being issued, and the member card is issued without going through the management server. Can be avoided. The issuance permission information is output after displaying data stored in an area that can be normally viewed by the administrator, that is, face photograph data and photographing data of the user's face photographed by the photographing unit. Therefore, it is not necessary for the privileged administrator to perform identity verification and other tasks when issuing a member card, and while suppressing the increase in cost, the management server side more securely transfers the member card and the personal information of the license on the management server side. Can be managed. Further, when the resource refuse is collected and points are given, the point giving information is output to the management server, and the point giving information is managed on the management server side. The point giving information is associated with the first information and the second information of the personal information and stored in an area that can be viewed only by the privileged administrator. In addition, the privilege manager can check whether any wrongdoing has been performed at the time of giving the points. Therefore, even if points are given fraudulently, it is possible to identify the fraudulent act and the name and address of the person who performed the act from the second information when exchanging the points. As a result, it is possible to provide a resource garbage collection system capable of suppressing fraudulent acts while improving user convenience.

It is classified. Whether the user has the privilege is classified into, for example, a person who issues a membership card (eg, an operator) and a person who performs a point management job (eg, a collection system administrator).

<Process Flow in Recovery System 10>
Next, the processing in the collection system 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. The processing in the collection system 10 is roughly divided into (1) membership card issuance processing, membership information management processing, and membership card issuance permission processing as a configuration for issuing a membership card, and (2) a user brings in resource garbage. There are a point management process performed at that time, and (3) a point grant information management process and a privilege manager management process as configurations for exchanging points. Here, first, the point management process (2) will be described, and then each process (1) and each process (3) will be described.

<Point management processing>
The point management process is a process performed by the control device 51 of the weighing management machine 90 in the collection place 11. As shown in FIG. 5, first, in step S101, a process of determining whether or not a touch operation on the touch panel 94 has been performed is performed. By the way, before a positive determination is made in this process, the demonstration screen is displayed (power may be saved by not displaying it). Until a positive determination is made in step S101, the process stands by in step S101.

  If the touch operation has been performed on the touch panel 94, the demonstration screen is canceled in step S102. Then, in step S103, the display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to give an operation instruction (for example, a character display such as "Please install a membership card"). In step S104, it is determined whether or not the membership card has been set in the setting unit 93. It should be noted that the information read by the reading unit 93a may be used as to whether or not it is installed. If not, the process waits in step S104. If it is installed, it is determined in step S105 whether the installation position is normal and the information on the membership card can be read normally. If the installation position is abnormal, or the membership card information cannot be read due to, for example, dirt or damage of the membership card or the installation section, an error message is displayed in step S106 (for example, "Please reinstall the membership card" Then, the process returns to step S104.

  If it is determined in step S105 that the information on the membership card can be read normally, the process proceeds to step S107. In step S107, a reading process of the member information is performed. In the member information reading process, information on the number of points stored in the membership card and information on the password set at the time of registration are included.

  In a succeeding step S108, the display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to input a password. In step S109, it is determined whether a password has been input based on the input instruction in step S108. If not, the process returns to step S108. If a password is input, it is determined in step S110 whether the password is normal (whether or not the password information matches the password information read in step S107). If the password is not normal (does not match), an error is displayed in step S111 (for example, a character display such as "The password is incorrect, please input again") is displayed. Then, in step S108, a password input instruction is performed again. If it is determined in step S110 that the password is normal, the process proceeds to step S112.

  In step S112, a process of acquiring image data from the camera 98 is executed. That is, the capture of the image data from the camera 98 is performed when the password is input. Therefore, the user's face watching the touch panel 94 for inputting a password can be captured as image data from almost the front. Note that a configuration in which the user can specify the image capture timing may be adopted. In this case, an instruction button for instructing image capture is displayed on the touch panel 94, and image capture is performed by touching the instruction button. Even in this case, it is possible to acquire the image data at the timing when the user faces the camera 98. Therefore, a face image from the front of the user can be captured more reliably. This configuration is the same as the configuration related to image capture from the camera 61 on the entrance management device 40 side.

  In the following step S113, a process of grasping the total weight before the refuse is installed is performed based on the weight information from the weighing unit 31. Then, in step S114, the display control of the display screen 95 is performed so as to give an installation instruction (for example, a character display such as "Please insert garbage slowly"). In the following step S115, it is determined whether or not the weight information from the weighing unit 31 has changed. If it has changed, the display screen 95 is controlled to display an installation completion operation instruction (for example, to display an installation completion button and prompt the user to touch the button) in step S116. If the user operates the display screen 95 (the touch panel 94) to determine that the installation is completed, the process proceeds to step S117. If there is no change in weight in step S115, or if the installation completion operation is not performed in step S116, the process waits in step S115.

  In step S117, based on the weight information from the weighing unit 31, a process of grasping the overall weight after the refuse is installed is performed. Then, in step S118, the installed garbage weight is grasped based on the difference between the weight before the installation and the weight after the garbage installation, and a process of converting the weight into points is performed.

  In the present embodiment, the point conversion rate is, for example, 10 points per kg of garbage (for example, equivalent to 10 yen). Although this conversion rate is optional, it is preferable that the conversion rate is different (lower than the purchase price) from the purchase price of a hardware at a scrap factory or the like. The main purpose of the collection system 10 is to recycle garbage from general households, and the type of garbage can be significantly different from garbage brought in by a trader such as a scrap factory. Therefore, if the conversion rate is equal to (or higher than) the purchase price at the scrap factory, there is a high possibility that household waste and garbage brought in by a trader are mixed. Therefore, by setting the conversion rate as described above, the collected garbage is mainly limited to household garbage, and the subsequent sorting work can be facilitated.

  After performing the point conversion in step S118, an external output process is performed in step S119. This process is a process of outputting the point assignment information from the communication unit 53 of the weighing management machine 90 to the management server 100. The point giving information includes information such as member information, point information of the number of points, date and time when the points were given, weight, image data from the camera 98, and the like.

  In a succeeding step S120, a point writing process is performed. In this process, the writing unit 93b of the installation unit 93 performs a process of overwriting the membership card with new point information (point information obtained by adding points to be added this time to points before writing).

  Then, in step S121, the display screen 95 is controlled so as to give an end instruction (for example, a character display such as "writing is completed, do not forget to obtain a membership card"). In step S122, it is determined whether or not the membership card is still installed. If the membership card is installed, a forgotten display (for example, a character display such as "forgot membership card") is displayed in step S123. The display of the display screen 95 is controlled. After performing the process in step S123, the process returns to step S122.

  If it is determined in step S122 that the membership card has not been installed (if it is determined that the membership card has been removed), the process proceeds to step S124, and a door opening process is performed. In such a process, the drive-out control unit 22a is driven and the door-out gate 22 is opened. Thereby, the user can go out of the collection area 12. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S125, a demo screen is displayed, and the point management process ends.

  As described above, in the collection system 10, when the user installs the resource garbage in the collection unit 30, points corresponding to the weight of the resource garbage are automatically given. Therefore, the user can use the present collection system 10 without hesitation. On the other hand, if the collection system is made unmanned in this way, fraudulent activities such as collecting points only by abusing the weight addition system or collecting installed (points granted) resource garbage are performed. There is a possibility that it will be done. Therefore, the present collection system 10 requires the presentation of the membership card and the input of the password at the time of awarding the points, thereby suppressing unauthorized use by a third party who has illegally acquired the membership card. In addition, the face image of the user is acquired when the resource garbage is brought in (when the password is input), and the face image is output by the management server 100. And the like can be confirmed. Therefore, even if an illegal act is performed, it becomes possible for the management server 100 to grasp it. Further, in the present collection system 10, in order to suppress such illegal acts, a configuration relating to issuance of a membership card and a configuration relating to exchange of points are devised.

<Structure concerning issuance of membership card>
As a configuration relating to issuance of a membership card, a membership card issuance process, a member information management process, and a membership card issuance permission process will be described.

<Membership card issuance process>
First, the membership card issuing process will be described with reference to the flowchart in FIG. The membership card issuing process is a process performed by the control device 50 of the entrance management machine 40 in the collection site 11.

  First, in step S201, a process of determining whether a touch operation on the touch panel 44 has been performed is performed. If the touch operation has been performed, the demo screen is canceled in step S202. The processing in steps S201 and S202 is the same as the processing in steps S101 and S102.

  In step S203, display control is performed on the display screen 45 so as to issue a license installation instruction (for example, a character display such as "Please insert your license"). Then, in step S204, it is determined whether or not the license has been installed (inserted). If the license has been installed, it is determined in step S205 whether or not the license can be read normally. If it is not readable, an error is displayed in step S206. When a negative determination is made in step S204 or after the process of step S206 is performed, the process returns to step S204.

  If it is determined in step S206 that normal reading is possible, the process proceeds to step S207. In step S207, a license reading process is performed. In this process, an image of the entire license (both sides) is captured, and each piece of information on the first information including face image data and the second information including at least a name and an address is read.

  In a succeeding step S208, a password setting process is executed. In this process, for example, a message such as "Please set a password" is displayed on the display screen 45, a keyboard is displayed on the touch panel 44 of the display screen 45, and a password is set by touching the keyboard.

  In a succeeding step S209, a process of acquiring image data from the camera 61 is executed. That is, capturing of image data from the camera 61 is performed when a password is set. Therefore, it is possible to capture the face of the user who is watching the touch panel 44 for inputting the password as image data from almost the front.

  In step S210, the process of outputting the license information read in step S207, the information of the password set in step S208, and the image data captured in step S209 to the management server 100 as issue request information is executed. I do. When permitting issuance of a membership card based on the received issuance request information, the management server 100 outputs the issuance permission information to the entrance management machine 40 side. Note that the issuance permission information includes a member ID capable of specifying the member information. If the issuance is not permitted, the non-permission information is output to the entrance management device 40 side. This processing will be described later in detail.

  In step S211, it is determined whether or not issuance permission information has been received from the management server 100. If the issuance permission information has not been received, it is determined in step S212 whether non-permission information has been received. If neither issuance permission information nor non-permission information has been received, the process returns to step S211 and waits until any information is received. If the non-permission information has been received in step S212, an error message is displayed in step S213 (for example, a character display of "cannot register as a member, please try again from the beginning") is displayed. After controlling the display of the screen 45, the process returns to step S203.

  If the issuance permission information has been received in step S211, the process proceeds to step S214. In step S214, a membership card issuance process is executed. In the membership card issuance process, a process of writing the member ID included in the issuance permission information received in step S211 into the IC chip of the new membership card is performed. As described above, the entrance management machine 40 is provided with the storage container 71 for storing an unregistered membership card, and at the time of the writing process, the unregistered membership card from the storage container 71 is stored in the member information writing unit. After moving to 72, write processing is performed. After performing the writing process, the written membership card is discharged from the membership card issuing unit 70.

  In the subsequent step S215, the display control of the display screen 45 is performed so as to perform an end display (for example, a character display such as “writing is completed, do not forget to obtain a license and a membership card”). In step S216, it is determined whether or not a license or a membership card is still installed. If it is installed, a forgotten display is displayed in step S217 (for example, a character such as "I forgot my license or membership card"). (Display) to control the display of the display screen 45. After performing the process of step S217, the process returns to step S216.

  If it is determined in step S216 that neither the license nor the membership card has been installed (if it is determined that the license and the membership card have been removed), the process proceeds to step S218, and a door opening process is performed. In this processing, the entrance control section 21a is drive-controlled to open the entrance gate 21. Thus, the user can enter the collection area 12. After performing the process of step S218, a demonstration screen is displayed in step S219, and the main issuing process ends.

  This issuance process is performed only at the time of the first membership registration. Then, although detailed description is omitted from the drawings, at the time of the next entrance, the membership card reading unit 73 of the entrance management device 40 reads the membership card, and the entrance control unit 21a controls the drive to enter the premises. It is possible to enter. After the entrance control unit 21a is drive-controlled to open the entrance gate 21, the entrance control unit 21a is drive-controlled so that the entrance gate 21 is closed after a predetermined period (for example, five minutes).

<Member information management process>
Next, the member information management process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The member information management process is a process performed by the management server 100.

  In step S301, it is determined whether license information has been received. As described above, the license information is information output in step S210 in the membership card issuing process on the entrance management device 40 side. If the license information has not been received, the process stands by at step S301. That is, the member information management process can be said to be a process that is started by receiving license information from the entrance management machine 40 side.

  If license information has been received, in step S302, a process of extracting face image data from the received license information is executed. As already described, the license information has the first information including the face image data and the second information including at least the name and the address. More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the personal information in the license information includes first information including face image data and information including name and address as second information. And are included as image data. The first information or the second information is set for each of these pieces of information by reading an area in the license information (image data) in which each piece of information is described.

  The process of step S302 may be configured to recognize face image data from the license information and read it as first information, and also recognize name and address data and read it as second information. The image at the predetermined position may be divided into the first information and the second information and read. In the former, the face image data, the name and the address are recognized at the time of reading, and thus the accuracy of the read information increases. On the other hand, the latter can simplify the configuration. Since the position where the face photograph, name and address are described in the license is predetermined, the latter is, for example, an area of 3.8 cm × 3.2 cm in the lower right of the license information. May be set as the first information, and the other may be set as the second information. The second information may include a date of birth, a date of issuance of a license, a license number, and the like, in addition to the name and address.

  The process of step S302 can be said to be a process of extracting the first information from the first information and the second information. Then, in step S303, the first information (face image data) extracted in step S302 is stored in the normal administrator use area 120 as normal management data. The normal management data is data that can be browsed and used by both the normal administrator without the privilege and the privileged administrator with the privilege on the management server 100.

  In the following step S304, a process of extracting name / address information from the received license information is executed. That is, step S304 is a process of extracting the second information from the first information and the second information. Then, in step S305, the second information (information including at least name and address) extracted in step S304 is stored in the privileged administrator use area 130 as privileged management data. The privilege management data is data that can be viewed and used by a privileged administrator having a privilege in the management server 100, and is usually data that cannot be viewed and used by an administrator. After executing the processing in step S305, the management processing ends.

  That is, the management server 100 stores the face image data and the information of the name and the address for each user who can use and browse the information based on the reception of the license information.

<Permission process for issuing membership card>
Next, the membership card issuance permission processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The membership card issuance permission process is a process performed by the management server 100.

  First, in step S401, it is determined whether license information has been received. If not, the process waits in step S401. That is, step S401 can be said to be the same processing as step S301. Note that the member information management processing and the membership card issuance permission processing constitute a part of the processing periodically started in the management server 100. In the periodic processing, the member information management processing is performed by the membership card issuance processing. This is set as an upstream process of the permission process. Therefore, when the membership card issuance permission process is activated, the member information management process is executed earlier.

  If license information has been received in step S401, the process proceeds to step S402. In step S402, a process of extracting face image data from the normal administrator use area 120 is performed. Then, in step S403, it is determined whether image data has been received from the camera 61 on the entrance management device 40 side. If not, the process waits in step S403. Based on the reception of the image data from the camera 61, an affirmative determination is made in step S403, and the process proceeds to step S404.

  Here, the management server 100 according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which the face image data of the license extracted in step S402 and the image data received in step S403 are displayed in parallel on a display screen (not shown). Then, the operator (normal administrator) of the management server 100 compares the images displayed side by side, and determines the owner of the license captured by the entrance management device 40 and the user operating the entrance management device 40. , Are the same person. If it is determined that the persons are the same person, an issuance permission operation (for example, an operation of a permission button or a touch operation of a permission image on a touch panel) is executed. On the other hand, when it is determined that the persons are not the same person, an issuance non-permission operation (for example, a non-permission button operation or a non-permission image touch operation on the touch panel) is executed.

  The permission operation / non-permission operation may be automatically performed by image comparison software or the like. In this way, there is no need to have an operator resident in the management server 100, and the management cost of the entire collection system 10 can be reduced.

  Here, the regular membership card issuance processing is performed by an ordinary administrator (operator), not a privileged administrator. Therefore, the data extracted and displayed in step S402 is the first information (face image data) in FIG. In other words, in the membership card issuing process, the second information (data including the name and the address) in FIG. 8B is not displayed. Therefore, the second information of the user is not known to the normal administrator in the membership card issuing operation performed by the normal administrator.

  In step S404, it is determined whether an issuance permission operation has been performed by the operator of the management server 100. If the issuance permission operation has been performed, a process of outputting the issuance permission information to the entrance management device 40 in step S405 is performed, and then the permission process ends. As described above, the entrance management device 40 can make an affirmative determination in step S210 based on the reception of the issuance permission information and proceed to the issuance processing (step S214).

  On the other hand, when it is determined in step S404 that the issuance permission operation has not been performed, it is determined in step S406 whether or not the issuance non-permission operation has been performed. If no operation has been performed, the process waits in step S404. If the issuance non-permission operation has been performed, a process of outputting non-permission information to the entrance management device 40 is performed in step S407, and then the main permission process ends. As described above, in the entrance management apparatus 40, based on the reception of the non-permission information, an affirmative determination is made in step S212, an error is displayed, and the operation is prompted again.

<Configuration of point exchange>
Next, as point exchange processing performed in the management server 100, point assignment information management processing and privilege administrator management processing will be described.

<Point grant information management processing>
First, the point assignment information management process will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG.

  In step S501, it is determined whether or not point grant information has been received. As described above, the point assignment information is information output in step S119 of the point management process (FIG. 5) performed by the weighing management machine 90 in the collection place 11. If the point giving information has not been received, the process stands by at step S501.

  If the point grant information has been received, a process of storing the point grant information in the privileged manager use area 130 in the data management unit 110 is executed in step S502. As described above, the point giving information includes member information, point information, date and time when the point was given, weight, image data from the camera 98, and the like. In step S502, these pieces of information are stored. I do.

  In the following step S503, the user corresponding to the member information stored this time executes a process of grasping the accumulated weight of trash brought within a predetermined period (for example, one month). Then, in step S504, it is determined whether the weight grasped in step S504 is equal to or more than a predetermined weight (for example, 1 ton). If the weight is equal to or more than the predetermined weight, the process proceeds to step S505, and a process of storing first attention information indicating that the integrated weight of the garbage brought in within the predetermined period is equal to or more than the predetermined weight in the privileged administrator use area 130 is executed. . The first attention information is stored in a state of being linked to the member information on a one-to-one basis.

  If it is determined in step S504 that the weight is less than the predetermined weight, or after the processing in step S505 is performed, the process proceeds to step S506. In step S506, a process of grasping the number of times points have been given to the user corresponding to the member information stored this time within a predetermined period (for example, one month) is executed. Then, in step S507, it is determined whether or not the number of times grasped in step S506 is equal to or more than a predetermined number (the frequency in the period is equal to or more than the predetermined frequency). If the number is equal to or more than the predetermined number, the process proceeds to step S508, and a process of storing second attention information indicating that the frequency of giving points within the predetermined period is equal to or more than the predetermined frequency is stored in the privileged administrator use area 130. The second attention information is stored in a state of being linked to the member information on a one-to-one basis. If a negative determination is made in step S507, or after the processing in step S508 is performed, the point assignment information management processing ends.

<Privilege administrator management processing>
Next, the privilege manager management processing will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The points in the collection system 10 can be exchanged for a privilege (commodity exchange ticket or the like corresponding to a point conversion rate) by submitting a point exchange request form to a management office having the management server 100. Becomes possible. The point exchange request form may be submitted by mail or may be submitted directly to the management office, but it is necessary that at least the member ID, name, and address of the user be entered as member information. is there.

  Then, the privilege manager management process of FIG. 11 is a process that, when the user submits the point exchange request form, the privilege manager is activated to convert the points into benefits.

  First, in step S601, it is determined whether the privileged administrator has been authenticated. This authentication is performed using, for example, a password assigned to the privileged administrator. If the authentication of the privileged administrator is not performed, the process waits in step S601. If the authentication has been performed, the process proceeds to step S602. In step S602, input processing of the member ID (member information) entered on the point exchange request form is executed. This processing may be manually input by a privileged administrator, or may be automatically read by a scanner or the like.

  In the following step S603, a process of reading the point information from the privileged administrator use area 130 is executed based on the member ID input in step S602. As described above, the point information is stored as point grant information in the privileged administrator use area 130, and further, the first attention information and the second attention information are stored in the privileged administrator use area 130 together with the member information. May be. Therefore, in step S604, it is determined whether any of the caution information is stored, and if it is stored, a process of displaying the caution information on a display screen or the like of the management server 100 is executed. If a negative determination is made in step S604, or after the processing in step S605 has been performed, point subtraction processing is performed in step S606. In the subtraction process of step S606, when giving the privilege corresponding to the point information, the current exchange points are subtracted from the point information. After executing the processing of step S606, the present privilege administrator management processing ends.

  Here, this privileged administrator management process is performed by a privileged administrator. Therefore, the information read in step S603 includes the first information (face image data) in FIG. 8A and the second information (name and address) in FIG. 8B among the personal information of the license. Including data). Therefore, in the point exchange work, the privilege administrator can surely confirm the user who exchanges points by comparing the sheet with the exchange request sheet. If the first attention information or the second attention information is displayed, the information can be grasped in a state where the information is associated with the second information such as the name and the address.

  In addition, the privilege manager can use the caution information displayed in step S605 as a material for determining whether or not the user who exchanges points this time is legitimately using the collection system 10. If it is determined that the fraud is invalid, a corresponding measure (for example, erasing (subtracting) the points without exchanging the points in step S606, disabling the use of the membership card, notifying the police, etc. Can be performed.

<Other embodiments>
In addition to the embodiment described above, for example, the following embodiment is also possible, and other application examples and modifications not illustrated below are naturally possible.

  (1) A camera may be installed in the collection area 12, and an image of the camera may be output to the management server 100. In this way, the management server 100 can recognize that the resource refuse is brought into the collection area 12, and if the image is stored in the management server 100, the illegal operation is performed ( When the first caution information or the second caution information is displayed), the actor or the act can be easily specified.

  (2) In the above-described embodiment, the first caution information and the second caution information are configured to be displayed at the time of point exchange, but may be configured to be displayed when any of the caution information is stored. By doing so, it is possible to grasp fraudulent acts more quickly.

  (3) As the second caution information, it is configured to store that the frequency of giving points is equal to or higher than a predetermined frequency. However, for example, the frequency including the frequency of the number of visits to the collection site 11 (entry frequency) and the like are included. Is also good. By doing so, it is possible to grasp the act of acquiring only the visit point when the visit point is given according to the visit.

  (4) In the present collection system 10, the collection system is mainly intended for resource refuse including hardware, but the present collection system may be applied to other resource refuse. Further, a collection system for other resource waste (for example, a paper container or a plastic container) may be linked to the present collection system. In this case, if the membership card is integrated, the convenience of the user can be further improved.

  (5) At the time of collection of resource garbage, of the resource garbage including hardware, garbage that requires a recycling fee to be charged under the Home Appliance Recycling Law may be warned not to throw away (display on the display screen, etc.). Good.

  (6) In the weighing management machine 90, if the weight information from the weighing unit 31 decreases after the points are given, it may be determined that an improper act has been performed (output to the management server 100). Also, the configuration may be such that the gate 22 is not opened. In this way, it is possible to suppress the act of taking away garbage after the points are given and enjoying the points many times.

  (7) In a configuration in which a plurality of unmanned collection sites 11 are connected to the management server 100 via a network, one of the collection sites 11 may be a manned collection site. In this way, the user can select the collection site to be brought in, and if there is no way to judge whether the garbage can be brought in as a user, or if it is necessary to help taking out from the vehicle, etc. Or select a venue.

  (8) Although the management server 100 is configured to perform the process of separating the first information and the second information of the license information, the entrance management machine 40 separates the first information and the second information and It may be configured to output to
