Description

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a form processing device and a form processing system that process forms associated with delivery items.

When a delivery person who delivers items such as registered mail, parcels, packages, etc., the recipient of the item is absent, he or she usually posts an absentee notification form into the mailbox of the recipient's home. The delivery person also attaches a non-delivery notice to the undelivered item and returns the item to the delivery base, such as a post office or distribution center. The absence notification form contains information necessary for the recipient to have the delivery re-delivered, such as the identification information of the delivery, the storage period, and the method for requesting redelivery. The non-delivery notification form contains the same identification information and storage deadline as the absence notification form. After confirming the absence notice, the recipient requests the delivery base to redeliver the delivery according to the redelivery request method. At that time, the recipient notifies the recipient of the identification information of the delivery item written on the absence notification form. The recipient also specifies the desired date and time for redelivery. Upon receiving a request for redelivery from the recipient, a worker at the delivery base searches for the delivered item identified by the identification information from among the delivered items to which the non-delivery notification slip has been attached. The worker then attaches a memo stating the desired date and time specified by the recipient to the delivery item and entrusts it to the delivery person. The delivery person will deliver the item to the recipient's house by the desired date and time written in the memo.

In this type of redelivery system, workers at the delivery base do preparatory work to deliver the item on the delivery date specified by the recipient, such as searching for the item that has been designated for delivery, and The customer is forced to create a memo stating the specified delivery date and time and attach it to the delivered item. For this reason, the burden on the workers for the preparation work is large, and it is also a cause of human error.

The processor 301 issues a new tracking number as ACT5. For example, the main memory 302 is provided with a tracking number counter, and the processor 301 issues a new tracking number by counting up this counter.

Once the delivery date and time, storage term, name of delivery person, and tracking number are obtained in this way, the processor 301 creates print data for the absentee notification form 81 and the undelivered notification form 82 as ACT6. Then, the processor 301 controls the first communication interface 305 to transmit this print data to the delivery person terminal 10, which is the source of the undelivered command, as the destination in ACT7. Through this control, print data is transmitted from the first communication interface 305 via the public line 61. The print data is received by the delivery person terminal 10 that is the source of the undelivered command. As a result, in the delivery person terminal 10, the printing device 107 is driven to print the print data on the roll paper, and a piece of paper 80 in which the absentee notification form 81 and the undelivered notification form 82 are connected is issued. The delivery person cuts off the piece of paper 80 along the tear line 83, places one of the non-delivery notice slips 81 in the mailbox of the recipient's home, attaches the other non-delivery notice slip 82 to the undelivered item 70, and returns it to the transportation point. bring it back to

The processor 301 of the delivery management server 30, which controlled the transmission of the print data, registers the tracking number, delivery date and time, storage period, and delivery person's name as one record in the undelivered management table 30T as ACT8. Further, in ACT9, the processor 301 sets the status of the record to "0" indicating the first state.

With this, the processor 301 ends the information processing upon receiving the undelivered command. Thus, the processor 301 implements the unreached registration function 311.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the main steps of the processor 301 for implementing the redelivery acceptance function 312. The processor 301 waits for a connection command as ACT11.

The connection command is sent from the recipient terminal 20. That is, when the recipient uses the camera function or scanner function of the recipient terminal 20 to scan the two-dimensional data code printed on the absentee notification form 81, the recipient terminal 20 connects to the delivery management server 30 as the destination. Command is sent.

The processor 301 that has received the connection command via the first communication interface 305 determines YES in ACT11, and proceeds to ACT12. The processor 301 controls the first communication interface 305 to transmit, as ACT 12, a message requesting a tracking number to the recipient terminal 20 that is the source of the connection command. Under this control, the data of the message is transmitted from the first communication interface 305 via the public line 61. The message data is received by the recipient terminal 20 that is the source of the connection command. As a result, the recipient terminal 20 outputs a message requesting a tracking number. For example, a message is played as audio. Or a message is displayed on a display device. After confirming the message, the recipient operates the recipient terminal 20 and inputs the tracking number printed on the absence notification form 81.

The processor 301 of the delivery management server 30, which controlled the transmission of the message data, waits for the tracking number to be input in ACT13. Upon receiving the data of the tracking number input at the recipient terminal 20 via the first communication interface 305, the processor 301 determines YES in ACT13 and proceeds to ACT14. Hereinafter, the tracking number input at the recipient terminal 20 will be referred to as an input tracking number.

The processor 301 searches the non-delivery management table 30T using the input tracking number as ACT14. Then, in ACT15, the processor 301 checks whether the input tracking number is registered in the non-delivery management table 30T.

If the input tracking number is registered in the non-delivery management table 30T, the processor 301 determines YES in ACT15 and proceeds to ACT16. In ACT 16, the processor 301 checks whether the storage deadline registered in the non-achievement management table 30T in association with the input tracking number has already passed. If the date measured by the clock 304 is the storage expiration date or an earlier date, the storage expiration date has not passed. In this case, the processor 301 determines YES in ACT16, and proceeds to ACT17.

The processor 301 controls the first communication interface 305 to transmit, as ACT 17, a message requesting a redelivery date and time to the recipient terminal 20 from which the connection command was sent. Under this control, the data of the message is transmitted from the first communication interface 305 via the public line 61. The message data is received by the recipient terminal 20 that is the source of the connection command. As a result, the recipient terminal 20 outputs a message requesting a redelivery date and time. For example, a message is played as audio. Or a message is displayed on a display device. After confirming the message, the recipient operates the recipient terminal 20 to input the desired redelivery date and time.

The processor 301 of the delivery management server 30, which controlled the transmission of the message data, waits for the redelivery date and time to be input as ACT18. Upon receiving the redelivery date and time data input at the recipient terminal 20 via the first communication interface 305, the processor 301 determines YES in ACT18 and proceeds to ACT19. As ACT 19, the processor 301 records the redelivery date and time data input at the recipient terminal 20 in the redelivery date and time field associated with the input tracking number of the non-delivery management table 30T. The processor 301 then sets the status associated with the input tracking number to "1" indicating the second state. Thereafter, the processor 301 controls the first communication interface 305 to transmit, as ACT 21, a message notifying the end of reception to the recipient terminal 20 that sent the connection command. Under this control, the data of the message is transmitted from the first communication interface 305 via the public line 61. The message data is received by the recipient terminal 20 that is the source of the connection command. As a result, the recipient terminal 20 outputs a message notifying the end of acceptance of the redelivery date and time. For example, a message is played as audio. Or a message is displayed on a display device.

On the other hand, if the input tracking number is not registered in the non-delivery management table 30T in ACT15, or if the storage deadline has passed in ACT16, the processor 301 determines NO in both cases and proceeds to ACT22. The processor 301 controls the first communication interface 305 to transmit, as ACT 22, a message to the recipient terminal 20, which is the source of the connection command, to notify that re-delivery cannot be accepted. Under this control, the data of the message is transmitted from the first communication interface 305 via the public line 61. The message data is received by the recipient terminal 20 that is the source of the connection command. As a result, the recipient terminal 20 outputs a message notifying that redelivery cannot be accepted. For example, a message is played as audio. Or a message is displayed on a display device.

In this way, upon transmitting the message notifying the end of acceptance of redelivery or the refusal to accept redelivery, processor 301 ends the information processing at the time of receiving the connection command. Thus, the processor 301 realizes the redelivery acceptance function 312.

12 and 13 are flowcharts showing the main steps of the processor 301 for realizing the redelivery response function 313. The processor 301 waits for an inquiry command as ACT31. The inquiry command is sent from the vote processing device 40 or the auxiliary terminal 50. The inquiry command includes the tracking number printed on the non-delivery report 82.

When the processor 301 detects that the inquiry command has been received via the second communication interface 306, it determines YES in ACT31 and proceeds to ACT32. In ACT 32, the processor 301 confirms whether the sender of the inquiry command is the vote processing device 40 or the auxiliary terminal 50. If the transmission source of the inquiry command is the vote processing device 40, the processor 301 determines YES in ACT32, and proceeds to ACT33. The processor 301 obtains the tracking number from the inquiry command as ACT33. Hereinafter, this tracking number will be referred to as a processing inquiry tracking number.

In ACT 34, the processor 301 searches the non-delivery management table 30T using the processing inquiry tracking number. Then, in ACT 35, the processor 301 checks whether redelivery date and time data is registered in the redelivery date and time field associated with the processing inquiry tracking number. If the data on the re-delivery date and time is not registered, the processor 301 determines NO in ACT35 and proceeds to ACT36. The processor 301 controls the second communication interface 306 to output a non-print command as an ACT 36 to the vote processing device 40 that is the source of the inquiry command. Under this control, a non-print command is transmitted from the second communication interface 306 via the dedicated line 62 to the form processing device 40 that is the source of the inquiry command.

In ACT35, if the data of the re-delivery date and time is registered, the processor 301 determines YES and proceeds to ACT37. The processor 301 acquires the data of the redelivery date and time from the non-delivery management table 30T as ACT37. In ACT 38, the processor 301 controls the second communication interface 306 to output a print command to the form processing device 40 that is the source of the inquiry command. Under this control, a print command is transmitted from the second communication interface 306 via the dedicated line 62 to the form processing device 40 that is the source of the inquiry command. The print command includes the data of the redelivery date and time obtained in the process of ACT38.

After completing the process of ACT38, the processor 301 sets the status associated with the tracking number acquired in the process of ACT33 in the undelivered management table 30T to "2", which indicates the third state, as ACT39.

In this way, when the status is changed in ACT 39 or the transmission of the non-print command is controlled in ACT 36, the processor 301 ends the information processing when receiving the inquiry command from the vote processing device 40.

On the other hand, if the transmission source of the inquiry command is the auxiliary terminal 50, the processor 301 determines NO in ACT32, and proceeds to ACT41 in FIG. 13. The processor 301 obtains the tracking number from the inquiry command as ACT41. Hereinafter, this tracking number will be referred to as an auxiliary inquiry tracking number.

The processor 301 searches the non-delivery management table 30T using the auxiliary inquiry tracking number as ACT42. Then, the processor 301 obtains, as ACT 43, data registered in the non-delivery management table 30T in association with the auxiliary inquiry tracking number. In ACT 44, the processor 301 checks whether the data includes the re-delivery date and time. If the re-delivery date and time is not included, the processor 301 determines NO in ACT44 and proceeds to ACT45. The processor 301 controls the second communication interface 306 to output an unregistered command to the auxiliary terminal 50 that is the source of the inquiry command as ACT 45. Under this control, the unregistered command is transmitted from the second communication interface 306 via the dedicated line 62 to the auxiliary terminal 50 that is the source of the inquiry command. The unregistered command includes data obtained from the non-delivery management table 30T, that is, the tracking number, delivery date and time, storage period, and name of the delivery person.

In ACT44, if the re-delivery date and time is included, the processor 301 determines YES and proceeds to ACT46. The processor 301 controls the second communication interface 306 to output the registered command to the auxiliary terminal 50 that is the source of the inquiry command as ACT46. Under this control, the registered command is transmitted from the second communication interface 306 via the dedicated line 62 to the auxiliary terminal 5040 that is the source of the inquiry command. The registered command includes data obtained from the undelivered management table 30T, that is, a tracking number, delivery date and time, storage deadline, delivery person's name, and redelivery date and time.

After controlling the transmission of the unregistered command or the registered command in this manner, the processor 301 ends the information processing upon receiving the inquiry command from the auxiliary terminal 50. Processor 301 thus implements redelivery response function 313.

Next, the operation of the vote processing device 40 will be explained using the flowchart of FIG. 14.
FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the main steps of information processing executed by the processor 401 of the vote processing device 40 according to the control program. Note that the information processing procedure described using the flowchart of FIG. 14 is an example. The procedure is not particularly limited as long as similar effects can be obtained.

A worker at the transport base places the delivery item 70 with the non-delivery notification form 82 attached on the input tray 42 of the form processing device 40 . At this time, the worker places the delivery item 70 on the input tray 42 so that the print area 82P of the non-delivery notification form 82 faces upward. Note that the undelivered notification form 82 may be removed from the delivery item 70 and placed on the input tray 42 with the undelivered notification form 82 attached to a dedicated sheet. By doing so, the slip processing device 40 can process the undelivered notification slip 82 regardless of the thickness of the delivery item 70.

After the worker places the delivered item or sheet with the non-delivery notice 82 attached on the input tray 42, the worker operates the input device 405 to issue an activation command. When the activation is instructed, the processor 401 starts information processing according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. First, the processor 401 drives the transport motor 409 as ACT51. As a result, conveyance of the delivery item or sheet placed on the input tray 42 is started. The delivery item or sheet is picked up from the input tray 42 by a pickup roller 45, taken into the slip processing device 40, and conveyed along the conveyance path 44. Then, the first sensor 410 detects the leading edge of the non-delivery note 82 attached to the delivered item or sheet.

The processor 401 waits for the undelivered notification form 82 to reach the reading position of the reading device 408 as ACT 52. That is, the processor 401 waits for a predetermined period of time to elapse after the first sensor 410 detects the edge of the undelivered contact form 82 . When the undelivered notification form 82 reaches the reading position, the processor 401 determines YES in ACT52, and proceeds to ACT53. In ACT 53, the processor 401 instructs the reading device 408 to read the tracking number printed on the non-delivery report 82. Then, the processor 401 checks whether the tracking number has been read as ACT54.

If the reading device 408 fails to read the tracking number, the processor 401 determines NO in ACT54 and proceeds to ACT55. The processor 401 controls display of a read error on the display device 406 as ACT55. Thereafter, the processor 401 proceeds to ACT62. The processing of ACT62 will be described later.

If the reading device 408 successfully reads the tracking number, the processor 401 determines YES in ACT54 and proceeds to ACT56. Processor 401 controls wireless unit 404 to transmit an inquiry command as ACT56. Under this control, an inquiry command is transmitted from wireless unit 404. The inquiry command includes the tracking number read by the reading device 408 in the process of ACT53. The inquiry command is transmitted to the delivery management server 30 via the dedicated line 62.

Here, the processor 401 of the vote processing device 40 constitutes a reading section by cooperating with the reading device 408 and executing the processes of ACT51 to ACT56. That is, the processor 401 reads the identification information of the delivery item 70, that is, the tracking number, from the information printed on the non-delivery report 82 associated with the delivery item 70.

In the delivery management server 30 that has received the inquiry command, as explained using FIG. It is checked whether the delivery date and time is registered. If the re-delivery date and time is registered, a print command is sent back from the delivery management server 30 to the slip processing device 40. If the redelivery date and time is not registered, a non-printing command is returned from the delivery management server 30 to the slip processing device 40.

The processor 401 of the form processing device 40 that controlled the transmission of the inquiry command waits for the blank area 82S of the undelivered contact form 82 to reach the printing position of the printing device 407 in ACT57.

As shown in FIG. 16, the blank area 82S starts from a distance d away from the edge 82E of the non-delivery note 82 along the conveyance direction indicated by the arrow Y. Therefore, after detecting the edge 82E of the non-delivery note 82, the processor 401 waits until the non-delivery note 82 has been conveyed the distance d, and then recognizes that the non-delivery note 82 has reached the printing position.

When the blank area 82S of the non-delivery note 82 reaches the printing position of the printing device 407, the processor 401 determines YES in ACT57 and proceeds to ACT58. The processor 401 waits for a command from the delivery management server 30 as ACT58. Upon receiving the command via the wireless unit 404, the processor 401 determines YES in ACT58 and proceeds to ACT59. In ACT 59, the processor 401 checks whether the command is a print command or a non-print command.

If the received command is a non-print command, the processor 401 determines NO in ACT59 and proceeds to ACT60. The processor 401 controls display of unregistered redelivery on the display device 406 as ACT60. Thereafter, the processor 401 proceeds to ACT62. The processing of ACT62 will be described later.

If the received command is a print command, the processor 401 determines YES in ACT59 and proceeds to ACT61. The processor 401 controls the printing device 407 to print the redelivery date and time data included in the print command in the blank area 82S of the non-delivery note 82. By this control, the redelivery date and time is printed in the blank area 82S of the non-delivery notification form 82, as shown in FIG.

After completing the printing control of the re-delivery date and time, the processor 401 proceeds to ACT62. In this way, after the processor 401 finishes processing ACT56, ACT60, or ACT61, it proceeds to ACT62. The processor 401 controls the drive of the transport motor 409 so that the delivered item 70 or sheet to which the undelivered notice 82 is attached as ACT 62 is ejected onto the ejection tray 43 . When the delivered item 70 or the sheet is thus discharged onto the discharge tray 43, the processor 401 completes the information processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. Then, when the next delivery item 70 or sheet is placed on the input tray 42, the processor 401 executes the processing of ACT51 to ACT62 in the same manner as described above.

Here, the processor 401 of the slip processing device 40 constitutes a visualization unit by cooperating with the printing device 407 and executing the processes of ACT57 to ACT59 and ACT61. That is, the processor 401 acquires the information regarding the delivery stored in association with the identification information (tracking number) read from the non-delivery notice 82 by the reading unit, that is, the redelivery date and time. Then, the processor 401 prints and visualizes the acquired delivery-related information (redelivery date and time) on the non-delivery report 82 from which the identification information (tracking number) has been read.

Further, the processor 401 of the vote processing device 40 configures an output unit by executing the processes of ACT57 to ACT60 in cooperation with the display device 406. That is, the processor 401 displays and outputs information indicating that visualization is not possible when delivery information (redelivery date and time) is not stored in association with the identification information (tracking number) read from the non-delivery notification form 82 by the reading unit. do.

Further, the slip processing device 40 constitutes a transport means together with the transport motor 409. That is, the form processing device 40 transports the undelivered notification form 82 to the reading position by the reading device 408, and after reading the identification information (tracking number), transfers the undelivered notification form 82 to the visualization position by the printing device 407. Transport.

Next, the operation of the auxiliary terminal 50 will be explained using the flowchart of FIG. 15.
FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the main steps of information processing executed by the processor 501 of the auxiliary terminal 50 according to the control program. Note that the information processing procedure described using the flowchart of FIG. 15 is an example. The procedure is not particularly limited as long as similar effects can be obtained.

The worker at the transportation base operates the input device 505 of the auxiliary terminal 50 and instructs to read the non-delivery report 82 on which the redelivery date and time are not printed in the blank area 82S. Upon receiving this command, the processor 501 of the auxiliary terminal 50 starts information processing according to the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG.

The processor 501 controls the reading device 507 as ACT 71 to read the tracking number printed on the non-delivery form 82. In ACT 72, the processor 501 checks whether the tracking number has been correctly read. If reading the tracking number fails, the processor 501 determines NO in ACT72 and proceeds to ACT73. The processor 501 controls the display device 506 to display reading error information as ACT 73.

If the tracking number is successfully read in ACT72, the processor 501 determines YES and proceeds to ACT74. Processor 501 controls wireless unit 504 to transmit an inquiry command as ACT74. Under this control, an inquiry command is transmitted from wireless unit 504. The inquiry command includes the tracking number read by the reading device 507 in the process of ACT71. The inquiry command is transmitted to the delivery management server 30 via the dedicated line 62.

In the delivery management server 30 that received the inquiry command, as explained using FIG. 13, the delivery management server 30 updates the non-delivery management table 30T in association with the tracking number included in the inquiry command, that is, the auxiliary inquiry tracking number. It is checked whether the delivery date and time is registered. If the redelivery date and time is registered, a registered command is sent back from the delivery management server 30 to the auxiliary terminal 50. If the redelivery date and time is not registered, the delivery management server 30 returns an unregistered command to the auxiliary terminal 50.

The processor 501 of the auxiliary terminal 50 that controlled the transmission of the inquiry command waits for a command from the delivery management server 30 as ACT 75. Upon receiving the command from the delivery management server 30 via the wireless unit 504, the processor 501 determines YES in ACT75 and proceeds to ACT76. The processor 501 checks in ACT 76 whether the command is a registered command or an unregistered command.

If the received command is a registered command, the processor 501 determines YES in ACT76 and proceeds to ACT77. The processor 501 controls the display device 506 to display the tracking date and time, delivery date and time, storage period, delivery person's name, and redelivery date and time included in the registered command as ACT 77. An example of a display at this time is shown in FIG.

On the other hand, if the received command is an unregistered command, the processor 501 determines NO in ACT76, and proceeds to ACT78. The processor 501 causes the display device 506 to display information indicating that the redelivery date and time is unregistered, along with the tracking date and time, delivery date and time, storage period, and delivery person's name included in the unregistered command as ACT 78. control. An example of a display at this time is shown in FIG.

After completing the processing of ACT73, ACT77, or ACT78 in this way, the processor 501 ends the information processing of the procedure shown in the flowchart of FIG. Then, when the tracking number reading is instructed again, the processor 501 repeats the processing of ACT71 to ACT78.

Here, the processor 501 of the auxiliary terminal 50 configures a second reading section by executing the processes of ACT71 and ACT72 in cooperation with the reading device 507. That is, the processor 501 reads the identification information (tracking number) of the delivery item 70 from the information printed on the non-delivery report 82 associated with the delivery item 70.

Further, the processor 501 of the auxiliary terminal 50 constitutes a notification unit by executing the processes of ACT74 to ACT78 in cooperation with the display device 506. That is, the processor 501 checks whether delivery information (redelivery date and time) is recorded in association with the identification information (tracking number) read from the non-delivery notification form 82 by the second reading unit, and displays the result. inform.

In this way, the worker at the delivery base sets the delivery item 70 or sheet to which the non-delivery notification form 82 has been attached to the input tray 42 of the form processing device 40, and instructs the start-up of the form processing device 40. Then, if a redelivery date and time is registered for the delivery item 70 in the non-delivery management table 30T, the redelivery date and time is printed on the non-delivery notification form 82, and the delivery item 70 or sheet is placed on the output tray 43. It is discharged. Therefore, the worker does not have to do the work of searching for a delivery item that has been designated for delivery, or creating a memo stating the delivery date and time specified by the recipient and attaching it to the delivery item. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the preparation work for delivering the item on the delivery date designated by the recipient, and it is possible to reduce human errors.

Further, if a redelivery date and time is registered for the delivery item 70 in the non-delivery management table 30T, it is displayed that the redelivery date and time has not been registered. Therefore, the worker can easily distinguish between the delivery items 70 whose redelivery dates and times are registered and the delivery items 70 whose re-delivery dates and times are not registered, and from this point of view as well, the efficiency of the preparation work can be improved.

Furthermore, when a delivered item 70 or a sheet with a non-delivery notice 82 attached is set on the input tray 42 of the form processing device 40 and a command is given to start, the delivered item 70 or sheet is conveyed through the device and placed in the output tray. It is discharged from 43. Therefore, the work is simple and has the advantage of greatly reducing the burden on the worker.

Furthermore, by using the auxiliary terminal 50, it is possible to distinguish between delivery items 70 whose delivery dates and times are registered and delivery items 70 whose delivery dates and times are not registered, without using the form processing device 40. Therefore, the worker only needs to use the slip processing device 40 to process the undelivered notice slip 82 for the delivery item 70 in which the delivery date and time are registered. In this way, by configuring the form processing system by the form processing device 40 and the auxiliary terminal 50, it is possible to further improve the efficiency of the preparation work.

[Second embodiment]
FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram showing a handy type vote processing device 90. The slip processing device 90 has a box-shaped housing 901 with a grip 902 attached to the top surface and an opening 903 in the bottom surface. The slip processing device 90 includes a reading device 904 and a printing device 905 inside a housing 901 . Printing device 905 is driven horizontally by actuator 906. The grip 902 is provided with a trigger switch 907.

When using the slip processing device 90 having such a configuration, the worker first uses the auxiliary terminal 50 to select the delivery item 70 in which the redelivery date and time has been registered. Next, the worker places the non-delivery notice 82 attached to the delivered item 70 on the workbench. Then, as shown in FIG. 21, the worker installs the form processing device 90 on the non-delivery form 82 so that the opening 903 covers the entire non-delivery form 82.

The worker inputs the trigger switch 907. Then, the reading device 904 is activated and reads the tracking number from the non-delivery form 82. When the tracking number is read, the data on the redelivery date and time registered in the non-delivery management table 30T is taken into the slip processing device 90, similarly to the slip processing device 40. When the data on the re-delivery date and time is taken in, the actuator 906 is driven, the printing device 905 scans the non-delivery notification form 82, and the re-delivery date and time is printed in the blank area 82S.

In this way, even if the handheld form processing device 90 is used, it is possible to improve the efficiency of the preparation work for delivering the package on the delivery date specified by the recipient, and to reduce human errors. play. Moreover, since the slip processing device 90 is a handy type, it is easy to handle, and since it is smaller than the slip processing device 40, it has advantages such as taking up less space.

The embodiment of the slip processing device that can improve the efficiency of the preparation work for delivering the delivery on the delivery date designated by the recipient and reduce human errors has been described above. It is not limited to this.

In the embodiment described above, the explanation has been focused on redelivery of the delivery item 70, but the redelivery does not necessarily have to be used. The slip processing device of this embodiment can also be applied to a case where a slip recording the delivery date and time is attached to the delivery object in order to deliver the delivery object 70 at the date and time designated by the recipient.

In the embodiment, the blank area 82S is provided on the perforation line 83 side of the non-delivery contact slip 82. The location of the blank area 82S is not particularly limited. It may be on the opposite side to the perforation line 83 or may be in the middle of the printing area 82P. Further, the area where the delivery date and time is visualized does not necessarily have to be the blank area 82S. If the delivery person can confirm the delivery date and time, the delivery date and time may be visualized in a part of the print area 82P.

In the embodiment described above, the information regarding the delivery that is visualized on the non-delivery notification form 82 is only the redelivery date and time. Information regarding delivery is not limited to the redelivery date and time. Other information, such as the name of the redelivery delivery person, may also be visualized.

In the embodiment described above, the identification information of the delivered item 70 is the tracking number. The identification information of the delivered item 70 is not limited to the tracking number. In short, any information that is unique to the delivery item 70 is sufficient.

Although several other embodiments of the present invention have been described, these embodiments are presented as examples and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. These novel embodiments can be implemented in various other forms, and various omissions, substitutions, and changes can be made without departing from the gist of the invention.
