Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for creating a barcode slip for delivery management, which is used by department stores, transportation companies, etc. in their delivery operations by pasting it on items to be delivered.

Traditionally, when shipping multiple items at once to the same destination,
It is necessary to create delivery slips for each of a plurality of items to be delivered, which not only wastes a large number of delivery slips but also requires a great deal of effort. Therefore, even if there were multiple items to be shipped, only one delivery slip was created, and the shipping hole, recipient's address, name, etc. were written directly on each item before shipping. However, instead of wasting the delivery slip, filling it out directly on the delivered item is time-consuming and prone to errors, and if the delivered item gets mixed up with other items during delivery, It is extremely difficult to locate a misplaced item by simply entering the address and name of the sender and recipient.

In view of the above-mentioned points, this invention proposes to attach a barcode tag for identification to each delivered item in order to perform reliable delivery management when shipping multiple items at the same time to the same destination. The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for creating barcode slips for delivery management that can be easily and reliably created by further research based on this proposal.

Next, the present invention will be described based on drawings showing one embodiment of the present invention.

FIG. 1 shows a delivery slip 1 used in the present invention, and this delivery slip 1 is made up of multiple sheets such as a shipping requester receipt 2, a shipping store receipt 3, a delivery slip 4, and a delivery receipt 5. It is structured in the form of a booklet, each with a column 6 for entering the shipping request date, a column 7 for writing the address, name, telephone number, etc. of the shipping requester and recipient, and a column 8 for writing the number of parcels to be delivered to the same destination. etc., and the identification barcode 9 on this delivery slip 1 is set in advance to be a different code from the other delivery slip, and this identification barcode 9 is set on the same side of the delivery slip. Please attach it so that it matches the inquiry number.

When shipping the item, the sender enters the necessary information in the specified fields 6.7.8 such as the address, name, and telephone number of the shipping requester and recipient, and the number of items to be delivered on delivery slip 1. At the same time, the vendor checks each entry, confirms the fee, the person in charge of the reception, the branch number, etc., and then attaches it to the delivery slip 1 using the barcode reader 15 shown in the system diagram of FIG. 2. The identification barcode 9 is read and input into the electronic computing device 16, and the electronic computing device 1 reads the identification barcode 9 and inputs it into the electronic computing device 16.
Enter the number of narrow openings in 6. It is of course possible to enter the small number information based on the delivery slip 10 using the keyboard 20, which can be used to input information such as the slip number (inquiry number), shipping date, sales (charges), sender, etc. for business management purposes. In this embodiment, a desired number is read by the barcode reading device 15 using a barcode input sheet 19 on which input barcodes 18 corresponding to the numbers O to 9 are printed, and the delivery item 2 is read.
2 is input into the electronic calculation device 16, or the input barcode 18 printed and displayed on the barcode input sheet 19 is printed in the margin of the delivery slip 1, and read and inputted as described above.

Next, a printer 21 (for example, a non-impact type printer such as an inkjet type, an electrostatic type, a photographic type, etc.) receives an output signal from the electronic computing device 16 and prints.
A dot-type impact printer, a label printer, etc. can be used. ), the identification barcode 9 attached to the delivery slip 1, the same barcode 28, the number of narrow openings 30 of the delivery item 22 to be shipped, and the number of side openings of the delivery item 22 on the delivery item pasting paper 23 shown in FIG. A barcode slip 10 for delivery management is created by printing a sheet.

The delivery material pasting paper 23 used in this embodiment has a label paper 25 coated with an adhesive 24 on the back and a release paper 26.
The release paper 26 is arranged on the top and has transport holes 27 on both sides of the release paper 26 for feeding the paper of the printer 21.

In addition, the barcode 28 printed on the label paper 25
At the bottom, a number 29 corresponding to the barcode 28, which is easy to visually check, is output from the electronic computer 16 and printed simultaneously, and the serial number 31 of the delivered item is printed for each set along with the narrow opening number 30 of the delivered item 22. is now printed.

Delivery management barcode slip 10 created as above
are delivered from each business branch 35 via a distribution center 36, etc., as shown in the schematic delivery diagram of the delivery items in FIG. Delivery can be carried out using the delivery management barcode 10 attached to the delivery document 1 along with the delivery slip 1 as a guide, but even if some of the delivery items get mixed up with the delivery items to other destinations, the delivery slip 1 The identification barcode 9 affixed to the item 1 and the barcode 28 of the delivery management barcode slip 10 affixed to the delivery item are exactly the same barcode, so the shipping request date and shipping date of delivery slip 1 are determined in advance. By inputting and registering information such as the client, recipient, number of parcels, etc. into the central electronic computer, the delivery management bar affixed to the delivery items whose destination is unknown due to miscommunication at each branch 35 can be saved. code slip 1
0 barcode 28 and enter it online into the central electronic computer for inquiry, or contact each branch 35.
If you read and register the barcode 28 of the delivery management barcode slip 10 affixed to the delivery item when passing through, you can immediately locate it if there is an inquiry from another branch. .

In the above embodiment, the required number of barcode slips for delivery management are created based on the information on the number of small parcels of the delivered item inputted by the printer that receives the output signal from the electronic computing device and prints the small parcel of the delivered item. The same number of delivery management barcode slips are created, but the delivery slip is attached directly to one of the multiple deliveries, and delivery management barcode slips are created for the number of deliveries to which no delivery slip is attached. Alternatively, you can place a bar two slip for delivery management on the top of the delivery,
Multiple delivery management barcode tags can be created for one delivery item by pasting them on multiple sides of the left, right, front, and back so that the delivery management barcode tag can be checked from multiple sides of the delivery item. In such a case, it is possible to set a control command in the electronic computer in advance so that the required number of bar two sheets for delivery management can be created based on the information on the number of small parcels of the delivered items. good.

Moreover, the paper for pasting delivery items does not necessarily have to be the label paper shown in the embodiment shown in FIG.
It may be a type of label paper that can be attached to a delivered item by applying water, which is a bonding condition for an adhesive, or it may be a label paper that can be pasted on a delivered item after being printed.

Furthermore, during delivery, the delivery company uses the barcode number printed on the barcode slip for delivery management and the number of parcels as a guide. , as shown in FIG. 5, each time a delivery management barcode sheet 101, 102, 103, etc. for one set of delivery items is created in the delivery management barcode prefecture, different symbols are sequentially assigned, such as 01△, ※、・・・A、B、
By adding a symbol such as C or by changing the font such as thin numbers, large numbers, or blank numbers when printing the unit number, it is possible to create a barcode slip for delivery management that is even easier to identify.

As described above, in this invention, an identification barcode is provided on the delivery slip in advance, and when the item is shipped,
This barcode is read by a barcode reader and inputted into an electronic computer, and the same barcode is printed by a printer, so the content to be written on the delivery slip and the barcode attached to the delivery slip can be used for delivery management purposes. It is possible to create a barcode slip with a sure match, and since the number of parcels to be delivered is entered into the electronic computer based on the number of parcels entered on the delivery slip, delivery management is based on the entered number of parcels. Delivery management barcode slips can be automatically and instantly created for each person whose narrow-end number information is printed on the delivery barcode.
