Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a shipping reservation system and an input device, and in particular, in shipping of agricultural products and the like, in advance notification of shipping information from a producer to an agricultural information center,
The present invention relates to a shipping reservation system and an input device for shipping based on the notified information.

As business, reservation information is transferred to a farm information center from a terminal device for making a reservation for shipping using a network server and a multimedia system. The agricultural information center accepts this reservation information, selects grades, standards, etc. of the agricultural products shipped from the producer, determines the shipping information aggregated for each item corresponding to the reservation information, and notifies the producer of the notification. It is related to a system that takes a series of flow of returning to.

[0003]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the case of shipping reservation, a collection / sale company or the like inquires of the producer about data of the type, standard (grade), quantity (quantity, weight, etc.) of agricultural products to be shipped the next day by telephone, for example, It is the task of totaling each type of agricultural product. When collecting data using a facsimile machine, the collection / sales company views the facsimile data transmitted from the producer and transcribes the data for aggregation.

When data is collected using a facsimile machine and an optical card reader (OCR), a sheet dedicated for erroneous recognition of characters and correction and OCR is prepared.

Further, in the case of transmission between a producer and a collection / sales company using a facsimile machine, the data written on the paper to be transmitted serves as a shipment copy and a selection result notification copy.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional technique, since it depends on human beings as a result, it takes time to collect and collect data, and an error in listening on the telephone occurs, so that the accuracy is high. There is a problem in sex and speed.

Further, in the method using the facsimile machine and the OCR, it is necessary to prepare a special paper for erroneous recognition operation of characters and OCR. The paper needs to be changed.

Further, in the shipping reservation input process, even if the same item, standard, and quantity as the previous time, the same operation as a new input must be performed, and the same item must be input from the beginning. For example, even if the items and standards are the same and only the quantities are different, it is necessary to enter the items of the items and standards. Furthermore, the producers tend to have the same items, specifications, and quantities that the producers have planted as long as they enter within the same period due to their nature, but each time they make a reservation, When transmitting information by telephone, it is necessary to convey all items to the other party by telephone, and when transmitting by facsimile, it is necessary to complete all items before transmitting.

Further, when the facsimile-OCR system is used, a dedicated sheet for input is required, and when the product name or input item is changed, the dedicated sheet must be changed or redistributed. Therefore, if the product name is frequently changed, there is a problem in operability.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points,
By solving the above-mentioned conventional problems and installing a producer terminal device for inputting shipping reservation information in a producer's house and transmitting the information online to a processing device such as a pickup / sales company, the shipping reservation information It is an object of the present invention to provide a shipping reservation system that saves time and effort for tabulation work and eliminates conversion processing by directly inputting data.

A further object of the present invention is to provide an input device capable of simplifying the input operation by the producer.
