The door 32 is provided with a locking device 33 for locking and unlocking the door 32 . The locking device 33 is an electric lock that locks and unlocks when energized.

An infrared sensor 34 is provided inside the delivery box 30 (for example, in the upper part of the delivery box 30). The infrared sensor 34 emits infrared rays toward the space inside the delivery box 30 . Infrared sensor 34 detects the presence of a delivery item in delivery box 30 and the size of the delivery item (the size of the top surface of the delivery item and the height of the delivery item) by blocking the emitted infrared rays. The infrared sensor 34 corresponds to detection means. The infrared sensor 34 may be an ultrasonic sensor or an optical sensor such as a visible light sensor.

A weight sensor 35 is provided inside the delivery box 30 (for example, at the bottom of the delivery box 30). The weight sensor 35 detects the weight of the parcel in the home delivery box 30 . The weight sensor 35 corresponds to detection means.

Next, the electrical configuration of this system will be described.

The building 10 is equipped with a controller 40 that controls the delivery box system. The controller 40 is attached to the wall of the entrance section 11, for example. The controller 40 corresponds to specifying means, information acquisition means, and control means.

The controller 40 comprises a well-known microcomputer comprising a CPU, ROM, RAM and the like. The controller 40 has a storage unit 41 that stores information about residents, detection results from various sensors, and the like.

A communication device 23 is connected to the controller 40 . Here, the electronic key 22 transmits ID information in response to a request from the controller 40 within the communication area CA. That is, the electronic key 22 enters the communication area CA of the communication device 23 and receives the request signal. The electronic key 22 then transmits the ID information to the communication device 23 in response to the request signal. When the ID information is received by the communication device 23 , the ID information is input from the communication device 23 to the controller 40 . When the ID information from the electronic key 22 is input via the communication device 23 , the controller 40 determines whether the ID information matches the ID information registered in advance in the storage unit 41 . Authenticate whether or not there is.

The controller 40 is connected to the locking device 21 and the touch sensor 18 (the connection of the touch sensor 18 is not shown). The detection results are sequentially input to the controller 40 from the touch sensor 18 . Then, when the detection result from the touch sensor 18 (that is, the detection result indicating that a person has touched the touch sensor 18) is input in a situation where the electronic key 22 is officially authenticated by the ID information, the controller 40 The locking device 21 is locked or unlocked. That is, when the detection result from the touch sensor 18 is input while the locking device 21 is locked, the locking device 21 is unlocked. When input, the locking device 21 is locked. If the electronic key 22 is not a legitimate one, the locking device 21 is not locked or unlocked. In this embodiment, when the locking device 21 is locked and unlocked from the outside, it is assumed that the lock is performed based on the authentication by the electronic key 22 .

Note that in the present embodiment, the ID information is stored in the storage unit 41 in association with the person carrying the electronic key 22 . For example, assume that there are five residents living in building 10 and each of them has an electronic key 22 . In this case, the ID information "12345678" is treated as "father", and the ID information "43214321" is treated as "mother". is associated with the ID information of

A locking/unlocking detection sensor 24 is connected to the controller 40 . Detection results are sequentially input to the controller 40 from the locking/unlocking detection sensor 24 . The controller 40 determines the locked/unlocked state (locked state or unlocked state) of the locking device 21 based on the detection result from the lock/unlock detection sensor 24 .

An indicator lamp 19 is connected to the controller 40 (connection not shown). The controller 40 controls the display (display format) of the indicator lamp 19 .

The infrared sensor 34 and the weight sensor 35 are connected to the controller 40, and the respective detection results are sequentially input.

A locking device 33 is connected to the controller 40 . The controller 40 controls locking/unlocking of the locking device 33 .

Next, the contents of the control processing of the home delivery box system executed by the controller 40 will be described based on the flowchart of FIG. This process is repeatedly executed at a predetermined time period (for example, 0.5 seconds).

As shown in FIG. 2, in step S11, it is determined whether or not the entrance door 16 is unlocked. Here, if it is detected that the locking device 21 has changed from the locked state to the unlocked state based on the detection result from the lock/unlock detection sensor 24, the entrance door 16 is considered unlocked, and the process proceeds to step S12. If it is not detected that the locking device 21 has been changed from the locked state to the unlocked state, it is determined that the front door 16 has not been unlocked, and this process ends.

In step S<b>12 , it is determined whether or not there is an item to be delivered in the delivery box 30 by acquiring the detection result of the infrared sensor 34 . If the presence of the object is detected by the infrared sensor 34, it is assumed that there is an item to be delivered in the delivery box 30, and the process proceeds to step S13. If the presence of the object is not detected by the infrared sensor 34, it is determined that there is no parcel in the home delivery box 30, and this processing ends.

In step S13, it is determined whether or not the entrance door 16 was unlocked in step S11 based on the electronic key 22 authentication. That is, the locking device 21 is unlocked based on the fact that the ID information received from the electronic key 22 via the communication device 23 matches any of the ID information stored in the storage unit 41 and that the touch sensor 18 is touched. If so, it is determined that the electronic key 22 has been authenticated, and the process proceeds to step S14. If the locking device 21 is unlocked regardless of the authentication of the ID information of the electronic key 22, it is determined that the authentication of the electronic key 22 is not based on the authentication, and the process proceeds to step S23.

In step S23, it is determined that the door is unlocked from the indoor side. The locking device 21 can be unlocked by operating the thumb-turn portion 21a from the indoor side. Therefore, when unlocking in step S11 is not unlocking by authentication of the electronic key 22, it is determined that the door is unlocked by operating the thumb-turn section 21a from the indoor side. If it is determined in step S23 that the front door 16 has been unlocked from the indoor side, the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S14, it is determined that the door is unlocked from the outside. That is, if the unlocking in step S11 is based on the authentication of the electronic key 22, it is considered that the door was unlocked from the outside by the resident carrying the electronic key 22. . In the subsequent step S15, the unlocker is specified. Here, since the ID information of the electronic key 22 has been received by unlocking in step S11, it is linked to the ID information that matches the received ID information among the ID information stored in the storage unit 41. A resident is identified as the unlocker.

Subsequently, in step S16, the size and weight of the item to be delivered in the delivery box 30 are specified by acquiring the detection results from the infrared sensor 34 and the weight sensor 35. FIG.

Next, in step S17, it is determined whether or not to permit taking out of the parcel. Here, in the present embodiment, conditions for permission to take out parcels are predetermined. FIG. 3 shows a conceptual diagram of permission conditions stored in the storage unit 41. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the size of the parcel (the size of the upper surface of the parcel and the height of the parcel) and the weight of the parcel are determined for each resident. Thereby, the size and weight that can be carried can be set for each resident. Therefore, in step S17, it is determined whether or not the person unlocking the front door 16 identified in step S15 satisfies the permission conditions based on the size and weight of the parcel identified in step S16. , to determine whether or not to permit taking out of the parcel. If the person who unlocks the front door 16 satisfies the permission conditions, the process proceeds to step S18, assuming that the takeout of the parcel is permitted. If the person who unlocks the front door 16 does not satisfy the permission conditions, it is determined that the delivery item is not permitted to be taken out, and the process proceeds to step S24.

In step S24, by blinking the indicator lamp 19 provided on the door handle 17 in red, it is indicated that there is a parcel in the home delivery box 30 that the person (the person unlocking the entrance door 16) is not permitted to take out. Notice. After the notification process, this process ends.

In step S18, by blinking the indicator lamp 19 provided on the door handle 17 in green, it is notified that the parcel that the person (the person unlocking the entrance door 16) is permitted to take out is in the parcel box 30. do. After the notification process, the process proceeds to step S19.

In step S19, by unlocking the locking device 33 (door 32), the delivery box 30 is unlocked (openable and closable). Here, step S19 may proceed from step S18 to step S19 or may proceed from step S23 to step S19. In the former case, the door is unlocked from the outside, and the delivery box 30 is unlocked when the unlocker satisfies the permission conditions. In the latter case, the home delivery box 30 is unlocked based on the entrance door 16 being unlocked from the indoor side. In this case, for example, it is assumed that the resident has left the building 10 to take out the delivery item from the indoor side, so the delivery box 30 is unlocked regardless of the permission conditions.

In the subsequent step S20, it is determined whether or not there is an article to be delivered in the delivery box 30 by acquiring the detection result of the infrared sensor . Here, it is determined whether or not the parcel has been taken out after the home delivery box 30 has been unlocked. If the infrared sensor 34 detects the presence of an object in the home delivery box 30, the delivery item is not taken out, that is, there is a delivery item in the delivery box 30, and the process proceeds to step S21. If the infrared sensor 34 does not detect the presence of an object in the delivery box 30, it is determined that the delivery item has been taken out, that is, there is no delivery item in the delivery box 30, and the process proceeds to step S22.

In step S21, it is determined whether or not a predetermined waiting time has elapsed after unlocking the home delivery box 30 . The predetermined waiting time is, for example, the time required for a resident who has returned home to enter the indoor side of the building 10, leave the package at the entrance 11 or the like, return to the outdoor side, and take out the package from the delivery box 30. Any time is fine. In this embodiment, it is 3 minutes. If the standby time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S22. If the standby time has not elapsed, the process returns to step S20 and each process is repeated. Therefore, the delivery box 30 remains unlocked until the waiting time elapses after the delivery box 30 is unlocked.

If it is determined in step S20 that there is no parcel to be delivered, or if it is determined in step S21 that the waiting time has elapsed, the process proceeds to step S22, where the locking device 33 (door 32) is locked to open the delivery box. 30 is locked (cannot be opened/closed). After locking, this processing ends.

According to the configuration of the present embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

(1) According to this embodiment, when the resident returns home and performs a predetermined unlocking operation to open the front door 16 from the outside (that is, unlocking based on the authentication of the electronic key 22), The unlocked resident is identified. Then, when there is an item to be delivered in the delivery box 30, the information (weight and size) of the item to be delivered is acquired. According to this embodiment, for each resident of the building 10, permission conditions are determined in advance regarding the size and weight of the parcel to be delivered. Therefore, based on the identification result of the resident who unlocked the entrance door 16 of the building 10 and the information of the delivered item, it is determined whether or not the unlocked resident satisfies the permission conditions, and the takeout of the delivered item is allowed. Permitted or not permitted.

As a result, for example, in the case of a parcel that is too large for the resident who has returned home (i.e., the specified resident), the take-out of the parcel is not permitted as it does not meet the permission conditions, and the resident who has returned home In the case of a home delivery item that can be transported to another location, taking out of the home delivery item can be permitted on the grounds that the permission conditions are satisfied. In this case, if the resident is permitted to take out the home delivery item, the resident will be able to transport the home delivery item. There is no such situation as closing, and convenience can be improved.

(2) According to this embodiment, when it is determined that the unlocked resident satisfies the permission conditions, the locking device 33 (door 32) provided in the delivery box 30 is automatically unlocked. As a result, the delivery box 30 is unlocked. As a result, the trouble of unlocking the home delivery box 30 to take out the home delivery can be omitted, and the convenience can be improved.

(3) According to the present embodiment, when the entrance door 16 (locking device 21) of the building 10 is unlocked from the outside, based on the identification result of the unlocked resident and the information on the delivery item On the other hand, when the front door 16 of the building 10 is unlocked from the indoor side, the identification result of the unlocked resident and the information of the delivery item However, the removal of parcels is permitted. When the entrance door 16 is unlocked from the indoor side, a situation is assumed in which the resident goes from the indoor side to the outdoor side in order to take out the parcels to be delivered from the delivery box 30 . At this time, the resident is considered to be in a state of making preparations (for example, preparing a cart) for taking out the parcel. Therefore, according to the present embodiment, in such a case, the resident who has unlocked the door is permitted to take out the parcel regardless of whether or not the permission conditions are met. As a result, the resident who has gone from the indoor side to the outdoor side can take out the parcel directly without unlocking the locking device 33 of the delivery box 30, so that the convenience can be improved.

(4) According to the present embodiment, the indicator lamp 19 notifies whether or not taking out of the delivery item from the delivery box 30 is permitted. Thus, the resident who has unlocked the entrance door 16 of the building 10 after returning home can surely know whether or not the parcel to be delivered by him/herself is stored in the home delivery box 30.例文帳に追加Therefore, the resident can confirm the presence or absence of the parcel to be taken out upon returning home, and if there is parcel to be taken out by the resident, the resident can carry the parcel to the building upon returning home, thereby improving convenience. can be done.

(5) According to the present embodiment, when taking out of the delivery item from the delivery box 30 is permitted, the delivery box 30 is unlocked for a predetermined waiting time after the delivery box 30 is unlocked. left as is. As a result, it is possible to have a grace period of time before the parcel is taken out. Therefore, the resident who has returned home is permitted to take out the parcel. It is possible to return to the outside and take out the delivery item from the delivery box 30, thereby improving convenience.

(6) According to this embodiment, the resident who has unlocked the entrance door 16 (locking device 21) from the outside is identified based on the ID information of the electronic key 22 carried by the resident. This makes it possible to identify the resident who has unlocked the entrance door 16 without introducing new equipment.

The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may be implemented as follows, for example.

(1) In the above embodiment, the user is identified by using the ID information of the electronic key 22 carried by the resident. It is sufficient if the resident who does the work can be identified. For example, a camera or a device for fingerprint authentication is provided on the outdoor side near the entrance door 16, and a solution is obtained based on an image of a person photographed by the camera or a fingerprint acquired by the device for fingerprint authentication. You may also identify a locked resident.

(2) In the above embodiment, whether or not the lock is unlocked based on the ID information from the electronic key 22 determines whether the unlocking operation of the locking device 21 is from the outside or from the inside. However, the method of distinguishing between the indoor side and the outdoor side is not limited to this. For example, when a touch sensor is provided in the thumb-turn portion 21a and unlocking is detected by the lock/unlock detection sensor 24 and human contact is detected by the touch sensor provided in the thumb-turn portion 21a, an unlocking operation from the indoor side is performed. can be determined. In addition, human sensors are provided on the indoor side and the outdoor side of the entrance door 16, respectively. is detected, it may be determined whether the unlocking operation is performed from the indoor side or from the outdoor side.

(3) In the above embodiment, the notification means is the indicator light 19, but the notification means is not limited to this. The presence of a parcel may be notified (reported) by sound or the like.

(4) In the above-described embodiment, when the entrance door 16 is unlocked from the outside while there is a delivery item in the delivery box 30, the indicator light is displayed regardless of whether the delivery item is permitted or not. Although the fact that there is a delivery item is notified by blinking 19, for example, the configuration may be such that the presence of the delivery item is notified only when taking out of the delivery item is permitted.

(5) In the above embodiment, the delivery box 30 remains unlocked for a predetermined waiting time after the delivery box 30 is unlocked. Unlocking of the delivery box 30 accompanying authentication of the electronic key 22), and unlocking of the delivery box 30 accompanying unlocking of the front door 16 from the indoor side (that is, unlocking by operating the thumb-turn unit 21a). , the waiting time may be different. For example, when the delivery box 30 is unlocked from the outside, the waiting time is 3 minutes, and when the delivery box 30 is unlocked from the inside, the waiting time is 3 minutes. 1 minute. In this case, in step S21 of FIG. 2, the waiting time may be changed based on whether the door is to be unlocked from the outdoor side or from the indoor side.

In the case of unlocking the home delivery box 30 accompanying the unlocking of the entrance door 16 from the outside, after the entrance door 16 is unlocked, the user must first enter the building 10 and then return to the outside to take out the parcel. can be considered. Therefore, it is desirable to set a waiting time for waiting for the return time, but in the case of unlocking the delivery box 30 accompanying unlocking the entrance door 16 from the indoor side, the waiting time is No need. In this case, the waiting time for which the home delivery box 30 is unlocked can be set as needed, so the home delivery box 30 is not unlocked for an excessively long time, which is preferable for crime prevention.

(6) In the above embodiment, the size and weight of the delivery item in the delivery box 30 are acquired as the delivery item information, but at least one of the size and weight of the delivery item is acquired as the delivery item information. It is good if there is In this case, it suffices if a condition for permitting at least one of the size and weight of the acquired parcel delivery item information is defined.
