Further, the purchaser-side terminal 100 and the delivery-side terminal 200 constitute, for example, a mobile electronic terminal. Further, the unlock key issuing processing unit 32 constitutes, for example, a generation means. Further, the communication unit 11 constitutes, for example, a transmission means. Further, the delivery completion information constitutes, for example, storage information. Further, the open / close control unit 303 constitutes, for example, a management means and a control means. Further, the tag-to-tag communication unit 306 constitutes, for example, a communication means.

(Variations of this embodiment, etc.)
As another example of the above embodiment, the product delivery management system 1 transmits only the first unlock key for the purchaser, restricts the opening and closing of the door of the delivery box 300 using the purchaser side terminal 100, or restricts the opening and closing of the door. It is also possible to transmit only the unlock key for the delivery person and restrict the opening and closing of the door of the delivery box 300 using the delivery person terminal 200.

Further, as another example of the above-described embodiment, the product delivery management system 1 can also attach a wireless communication tag to the product and manage the status of the product. For example, the product delivery management system 1 can manage the storage and removal of the product by the communication between the wireless communication tag attached to the product and the delivery box 30. As a result, for example, when the delivery box 30 detects that the product delivered by communication with the wireless communication tag is stored, the delivery completion information is transmitted via a communication network such as an Internet line that can be connected by wire or wirelessly. Can be sent to the management server 10. As a result, the management server 10 performs the product status management process based on the delivery completion information as shown in FIG. Further, the product delivery management system 1 can also give a warning when, for example, an erroneous product is taken out by communication between the wireless communication tag attached to the product and the delivery box 30. In this case, for example, when the wrong product is taken out, the product delivery management system 1 makes the purchaser go through the management server 10 from the delivery box 30 or directly communicates between the purchaser side terminal 100 and the delivery box 30. A warning sound or a warning display is output from the side terminal 100.

Further, as another example of the above-described embodiment, when the purchaser-side terminal 100 receives the delivery completion information from the management server 10, it can output to that effect to the touch panel unit 110 by pop-up or the like. As a result, the purchaser can know that the purchased product has been delivered to the delivery box 30, and as a result, can receive the product earlier.

Further, as another example of the above-described embodiment, when the management server 10 receives the delivery completion information, the management server 10 can also send an e-mail to that effect to the purchaser-side terminal 100 of the purchaser.

Further, as another example of the above-described embodiment, the management server 10 can also provide the delivery completion information and the receipt completion information to the person who manages the management server 10 and the person who sells the product. As a result, the person who sold the product can know the status of the product in real time.

Further, as another example of the above embodiment, the management server 10 does not receive the first unlock key for the purchaser at the timing when the product purchase process is completed, but the delivery side terminal 200 transmits the first unlock key. At the timing of receiving the delivery completion information, the purchaser's first unlock key may be transmitted to the purchaser's terminal 100 together with the purchaser's second unlock key. As a result, the product delivery management system 1 can prevent the purchaser from opening the door of the delivery box 300 and taking out the product only after the product is stored in the delivery box 30. As a result, the product delivery management system 1 can more effectively prevent the door of the delivery box 30 from being inadvertently opened.

Further, as another example of the above-described embodiment, the delivery completion information and the receipt completion information can be transmitted from the delivery box 300 to the management server 10.
