Specifically, the processor 112 requests the content request information for information on whether the transfer method information of the delivery information table of the memory 111 is "urgent transfer" or "regular transfer" based on the delivery ID information. Controls to store information about "yes" or "no" respectively. Next, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and determines whether or not the content request information stored in association with the delivery ID information is “presence” (S102). If the content information is not "yes", that is, "no", it is not necessary to acquire the content data and it is necessary to perform urgent transfer. Therefore, the processor 112 does not perform the processing after S103, and FIG. Move to the processing related to. On the other hand, when the content information is "Yes", the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and confirms whether or not "Done" is stored as the status information associated with the delivery ID information. (S103). Then, if it is not "finished", the processor 112 controls to transmit the content request information together with the storage location information and the delivery ID information to the administrator terminal device 200 via the communication interface 114 (S104).

The administrator holding the administrator terminal device 200 outputs the received storage location information and the delivery ID information, and identifies the delivery that has received the content request from the storage tray 400 specified by the storage location information. Then, the administrator terminal device 200 receives the input of the data of the contents (for example, the image data of the contents) which is the contents of the delivered goods via the input interface. Then, the administrator terminal device 200 transmits the input content data together with the delivery ID information to the server device 100.

When the server device 100 receives the content data, the processor 112 controls the content information table to store the content data in association with the delivery ID information (S105). Then, the processor 112 controls to transmit the stored content data to the transferor terminal device 300 held by the transferor, which is the transfer destination of the delivery, via the communication interface 114 (S106). After that, the process shifts to the processing flow of FIG.

Here, as described with reference to FIG. 5, in the present disclosure, it is possible to transmit the content data to the transferor terminal device 300 in response to a request from the transferor. FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the transferor terminal device 300 according to the present disclosure. Specifically, it is a figure which shows an example of the content data display screen displayed on the display of a transfer person terminal apparatus 300. According to FIG. 9, the content data display screen displays a list area 17 in which information on all deliveries associated with the transfer destination ID information of the transferor is displayed as a list. In the list area, sender name information and image data are displayed for each delivery item. When the transferor makes a selection for the desired delivery in the list area, the content data 19 of the selected delivery is displayed in the content display area 18. In the example of FIG. 9, in response to the selection of the delivery item "delivery from B1" in the list area, the content data 19 (for example, the quotation) associated with the delivery ID information of the delivery item. ) Is displayed as image data. In this way, by making a content request, the transferor can grasp the details of the content without having to receive the transfer of the delivered product each time.

Return to the processing flow again. According to FIG. 6, when the content information is “none” in S102 of FIG. 5, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table, and the transfer method information stored in association with the delivery ID information is stored. It is determined whether or not it is a "rush transfer" (S201). In the case of urgent transfer, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and confirms whether or not "done" is stored as the status information associated with the delivery ID information (S202). .. Then, if it is not "completed", the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and transmits the storage location information and the delivery ID information stored in association with the delivery ID information to the administrator terminal device 200. (S203). Then, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table to specify the transfer destination ID information stored in association with the delivery ID information, and further refers to the transfer destination information table to associate with the transfer destination ID information. The transfer destination address and the transfer destination name are controlled to be transmitted to the administrator terminal device 200 as transfer information. (S204).

The administrator holding the administrator terminal device 200 outputs the received storage location information and the delivery ID information, and specifies the delivery to be urgently transferred from the storage tray 400 specified by the storage location information. Further, the administrator terminal device 200 outputs a transfer slip based on the received transfer information. The administrator attaches the output transfer slip to the specified delivery and requests the provider of the transfer (delivery) service to transfer it. When the administrator terminal device 200 receives the input by the administrator of the tracking code information given by the provider of the transfer (delivery) service, the administrator terminal device 200 transmits the tracking code information to the server device 100 together with the delivery ID information.

Next, when the server device 100 receives the tracking code information, the processor 112 stores the received tracking code information in the tracking code information of the delivery information table in association with the delivery ID information (S205). Then, the processor 112 refers to the transfer destination information table based on the transfer destination ID information associated with the delivery ID information, and transmits the transfer completion information to the notification destination designated by the notification method (S206). The transfer completion information includes the fact that the urgent transfer has been completed and the tracking code information stored in S205. Next, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and updates the status information associated with the delivery ID information to "finished" (S207). This ends a series of processing flows. If it is determined in S201 that the transfer is not urgent, or if it is determined in S202 that "done" is stored as the status information, the process ends without performing the processes related to S202 to S205.

As described in FIG. 8, when the transferor inputs an instruction to the content request icon 14, the selection of the urgent transfer icon 13 and the discard icon 15 is restricted. Therefore, also in the processing flows of FIGS. 5 and 6, when the content information is “present”, that is, when the content scanning request is received, the processing flow is terminated without urgent transfer. On the other hand, when the urgent transfer is performed, it is performed only when the content request information is "None". When a content request is received, processing such as scanning the content is required, which is to prevent the response of urgent transfer from being hindered or being destroyed before scanning.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing a processing flow executed by the server device 100 according to the present disclosure. Specifically, FIG. 7 shows a processing flow related to periodic transfer. The processing flow is started by the processor 112 of the server device 100 reading and executing the program stored in the memory 111 at a predetermined cycle.

According to FIG. 7, the processor 112 refers to the periodic transfer timing information in the transfer destination information table, and determines whether or not there is a transfer destination that has reached the periodic transfer timing (S301). Then, when there is a transfer destination that has reached the timing of the periodic transfer, the processor 112 associates the transfer destination ID information with the delivery information table based on the transfer destination ID information, and " Identify all deliveries in which "storage" is stored (S302).

Next, the processor 112 controls to transmit the delivery ID information of all the specified deliveries and the storage location information associated with the delivery ID information to the administrator terminal device 200 (S303). .. Further, the processor 112 controls to transmit the transfer destination address and the transfer destination name associated with the transfer destination ID information to the administrator terminal device 200 as transfer information by referring to the transfer destination information table. (S304).

The administrator holding the administrator terminal device 200 outputs each received storage location information and each delivery ID information, and specifies all deliveries to be periodically transferred from the storage tray 400 specified by each storage location information. do. Further, the administrator terminal device 200 outputs a transfer slip based on the received transfer information. Then, the administrator attaches the output transfer slip to the specified delivery item and requests the provider of the transfer (delivery) service to transfer the output slip. When the administrator terminal device 200 receives the input by the administrator of the tracking code information given by the provider of the transfer (delivery) service, the administrator terminal device 200 transmits the tracking code information to the server device 100 together with each delivery ID information.

Next, when the server device 100 receives the tracking code information, the processor 112 stores the received tracking code information in the tracking code information of the delivery information table in association with each delivery ID information of each delivery (). S305). Then, the processor 112 refers to the transfer destination information table based on the transfer destination ID information associated with each delivery ID information, and transmits the transfer completion information to each notification destination designated by the notification method (S306). .. The transfer completion information includes the fact that the periodic transfer has been completed and the tracking code information stored in S305. Then, the processor 112 refers to the delivery information table and updates each status information associated with each delivery ID information to "finished" (S307). This ends a series of processing flows. If it is determined in S301 that there is no transfer destination that has reached the periodic transfer timing, the process ends without performing the processes related to S302 to S307.

As described above, in the present disclosure, when the delivered item is delivered to the address specified in advance, the notification of the delivery is transmitted to the transferor terminal device 300 held by the transferor, which is the transfer destination, so that the delivery is delivered in real time. You can know that it was done. Therefore, the processing system 1 of the present disclosure makes it possible to provide a service that is easy for the transferor to use.
