Description
本開示は、情報処理システム及びサーバ、情報処理方法、プログラムに関するものである。
The present disclosure relates to an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program.
従来から、個宅や集合住宅(共同住宅)に宅配ボックスを設置し、荷受者が不在の場合に宅配ボックスに荷物を格納することで配達完了とし、荷受者の端末に配達完了通知を行う情報処理システムが知られている。特許文献1には、宅配ボックスに既に荷物が格納されていると配達できず、再配達になってしまうことに対応するために、配達できない場合に代理保管スペースに保管可能な宅配システムが開示されている。
Conventionally, delivery boxes are installed in individual homes and collective housing (apartment housing), and when the recipient is absent, the delivery is completed by storing the package in the delivery box, and the delivery completion notification is sent to the recipient's terminal. Processing systems are known. Patent Literature 1 discloses a home delivery system that can store a package in a proxy storage space if it cannot be delivered, in order to cope with the situation where the package cannot be delivered if it is already stored in the home delivery box and the package is redelivered. ing.
上記特許文献1の開示技術では、例えば個宅の宅配ボックスに既に荷物が格納されている場合には代理保管スペースへ格納されることとなるが、既に格納済みの荷物が文具や日用品などの小さな荷物の場合に、次に配達された荷物が宅配ボックスの残余空間(いわゆる空きスペース)に収納可能な大きさだったとしても、代理保管スペースに格納されてしまうため、ユーザは複数個所から荷物をピックアップする必要が多発してしまう。また、そのようなことが各戸で発生した場合、集合住宅の共用部に配置される代理保管スペースが埋まり、結局再配達が必要となってしまう。そのほか、宅配ボックスに限らず、所定の格納空間に配送物を格納する場合には、格納空間内の空き状況が把握できず配送において考慮されていない。
In the technology disclosed in Patent Document 1, for example, when a package is already stored in a home delivery box, it is stored in a proxy storage space. In the case of parcels, even if the next parcel delivered is of a size that can be stored in the remaining space (so-called empty space) of the home delivery box, it will be stored in the proxy storage space, so the user will have to store parcels from multiple locations. It often needs to be picked up. In addition, if such a thing occurs in each house, the substitute storage space arranged in the common area of the collective housing will be filled up, and redelivery will be necessary after all. In addition, not limited to delivery boxes, when items to be delivered are stored in a predetermined storage space, the availability of the storage space cannot be grasped and is not considered in delivery.
一方、事前に宅配ボックス内の荷物及び配達荷物のサイズを把握できたとしても、実際には荷物ごとに形状にバラツキがある。そのため、宅配ボックスに格納したとしてもデッドスペースが生まれ、効率よく格納することが難しい。その結果、代理保管スペースの過度な利用を十分に抑えられるとはいえない。
On the other hand, even if we were able to grasp the size of the package in the delivery box and the size of the package to be delivered in advance, the shape of each package actually varies. Therefore, even if it is stored in a delivery box, dead space is generated and it is difficult to store it efficiently. As a result, it cannot be said that excessive use of the proxy storage space can be sufficiently suppressed.
また、近年、ドローン(Drone)・無人航空機(UAV:Unmanned Aerial Vehicle)などの飛行体や無人地上車両(UGV:Unmanned Ground Vehicle)などの走行体などの自律制御可能な移動体が産業に利用され始めている。こうした中で、EC(Electronic Commerce:電子商取引)サイトなどで注文した物品等の荷物を移動体により配送する荷物配達システムの実験的な運用が開始されている。このような荷物配達システムにおいては、複数の移動体が配達制御対象となることが想定されているものの、実験的な運用ということもあり、1台の移動体に積み込み可能な範囲で仮想的な配達荷物(例えば、日用品や食料など)を設定している。しかしながら、現実的にはユーザが移動体1台の積載量を意識しながら注文することはなく、欲しいタイミングで欲しい物を欲しい量注文することが通常であるので、移動体1台に収まるかどうか予見性がない。
In recent years, autonomously controllable moving bodies such as flying bodies such as drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and running bodies such as unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have been used in industry. starting. Under these circumstances, experimental operation of a parcel delivery system for delivering parcels such as articles ordered on an EC (Electronic Commerce) site or the like by a mobile body has been started. In such a package delivery system, it is assumed that multiple mobile objects will be subject to delivery control. You have set up delivery packages (for example, daily necessities, food, etc.). However, in reality, the user does not place an order while being conscious of the load capacity of a single mobile unit, and usually orders the desired amount of the desired item at the desired timing. Not predictable.
一方で、配送効率が高いと配送コスト(ひいては配送料)が下がるため、移動体1台に多くの荷物を積みこむことがサービス提供者にとってもユーザにとっても望ましいが、上記同様に荷物サイズのばらつきを考えると、移動体搭載部の残余空間がどのくらいか判断することは難しく、積み込み効率の高い運用が望まれる。
On the other hand, if the delivery efficiency is high, the delivery cost (and thus the delivery fee) will be reduced. Therefore, it is desirable for both the service provider and the user to load a large number of packages onto a single mobile unit. Considering , it is difficult to determine how much space is left in the mobile body loading section, and operation with high loading efficiency is desired.
そこで、本開示はこのような背景を鑑みてなされたものであり、格納容器種別識別情報を用いて格納物(例えば配送物など)を定型化して管理することで、格納物の総合的な物量の把握を容易にし、様々な格納空間への効率的な格納を可能とする情報処理システム及びサーバ、情報処理方法、プログラムを提供することができる。
Therefore, the present disclosure has been made in view of such a background. It is possible to provide an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program that make it easy to grasp and enable efficient storage in various storage spaces.
上記課題を解決するための本開示の主たる技術は、ユーザに紐づく格納空間への格納物を格納する格納容器の容積ごとの種類を示す格納容器種別情報と、前記格納空間の格納状態を示す格納状態情報とに基づき、前記格納空間内における前記格納物の格納位置に関する格納位置情報を生成する格納位置生成部と、生成された前記格納位置情報、または、当該格納位置情報に基づき生成され、前記格納位置を指示するための格納位置指示情報の少なくともいずれかを作業者端末へ送信する情報送信部と、を備える情報処理システム等である。
The main technology of the present disclosure for solving the above problems is storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of a storage container that stores items stored in a storage space linked to a user, and indicating the storage state of the storage space. a storage position generating unit that generates storage position information regarding a storage position of the content in the storage space based on the storage state information; and the generated storage position information or generated based on the storage position information, and an information transmitting unit configured to transmit at least one of storage position indication information for indicating the storage position to a worker terminal.

The containment vessel type indicated by the containment vessel type information is plural. The containment vessel type is, for example, a plurality of containment vessels that are set to be mutually identifiable based on the volume obtained by dividing the reference storage space volume by a predetermined number (e.g., an integer), with a predetermined storage space volume as the reference storage space volume. Number of multiple containment vessel volumes that are identifiably set for each type of volume (for example, the containment vessel volume obtained by dividing the reference containment space volume by a predetermined number (e.g., an integer) and multiplying it by a number equal to or less than the predetermined number) may include types (e.g. 1/3, 2/3, 1; 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1, etc.); A plurality of types of containment vessel volume (for example, 1/2, 1 /4, 1/8 . . . ), but not limited thereto).

The storage space for storing the user's stored items and/or the storage space subject to the reference storage space volume may be any space having a predetermined volume. It is preferable that it is a space, and more specifically, it is an installation that a user uses, such as a storage space for the user, a delivery box with a smart lock installed in a private house, or a common area for an apartment. The storage space of the delivery box to be placed (the position of the space may be determined in advance by linking information related to the user, or the position where the package is stored by linking information related to the user by the delivery person) storage space such as a shelf, locker, post office box, and cold storage box without electrical locking/unlocking control. In addition, the storage space for delivery may be used as a reference, and a delivery storage unit for a mobile object (a mobile object such as a UAV or UGV, especially an autonomously controlled mobile object) for delivering a package, or a delivery storage space. It may also be a movable object such as a carrier (for example, a truck carrier, a rear box of a motorcycle, a box carriage, a basket carriage, etc.) used for delivery by an employee, or a bag for delivery. Furthermore, the space having a predetermined volume may be a space whose lengths in the depth direction, width direction, and height direction are fixed as described above.

格納管理部150は、例えば読取機(例えば、作業者が操作する読取機や設置型の読取機、作業ロボット(特に自律制御作業ロボット)に備えられた読取機など)による配送物等の格納物に付された識別コードの読み取り(例えば二次元バーコードやRFIDタグ、NFCなどの読み取り)や作業員等により格納物に関する格納物情報の入力操作などの格納物受け入れ処理などに応じて、格納物情報記憶部123における格納物識別情報及び格納空間情報記憶部124における格納空間識別情報の追加やユーザ識別情報の関連付け等の情報登録を実行する。
The storage management unit 150 stores items such as delivered items by a reader (for example, a reader operated by a worker, a stationary reader, a reader provided in a work robot (especially an autonomously controlled work robot), etc.). Depending on the contents acceptance process such as reading of the identification code attached to (for example, reading of two-dimensional barcode, RFID tag, NFC, etc.) and input operation of contents information related to contents by workers etc. Information registration such as addition of content identification information in the information storage unit 123 and storage space identification information in the storage space information storage unit 124 and association of user identification information is executed.
格納位置情報生成部151は、ユーザに紐づく格納空間への格納物を格納する格納容器の容積ごとの種類を示す格納容器種別情報と、当該格納空間の格納状態を示す格納状態情報とに基づき、当該格納空間内における前記格納物の格納位置に関する格納位置情報を生成する。より具体的には、格納位置情報生成部151は、格納空間内のいずれの位置に格納物を格納するかを示す格納位置を決定してもよい。格納位置の決定方法は、所定の容積の空間に対して所定の物体を格納するための既知の箱詰め計算アルゴリズムにより、格納位置を決定する。ここで、特に格納容器が上述のように所定の法則にしたがって基準格納空間容積に対して所定の容積ごとに格納容器種別が規定されている場合においては、格納物を格納前(または格納後)の残余空間情報も算出可能であって、当該残余空間情報も格納容器種別に換算しやすい容積値となり、残余空間を格納容器種別に換算した残余換算格納容器種別情報を求めるやすくなり得る。これにより、格納空間内の格納可能な位置の特定が残余空間情報に基づき容易に可能となる。特に、格納空間の奥行、幅、高さのいずれかを、上述のとおり、所定の数で除して当該所定の数より少ない数で乗じた格納容器容積ごとに識別可能に設定された複数の格納容器容積の種別を含む場合や、所定の数で除した格納容器容積ごとに識別可能に設定された複数の格納容器容積の種別を含む場合には、より格納空間内の格納位置の特定が容易になる。また、格納空間内が間仕切り等によって格納容器種別のいずれかに対応するように区切られている場合には、格納空間情報記憶部122において、格納空間識別情報に紐づけて、対象となる格納空間内で間仕切り等によって分割された領域ごとに識別可能に付される分割領域識別情報及び当該分割領域識別情報に対応する対応格納容器種別情報が記憶されており、格納位置情報生成部151は、格納対象となる分割領域識別情報を格納位置情報として決定してもよい。
The storage position information generation unit 151 is based on storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of the storage container that stores the items in the storage space linked to the user, and storage state information indicating the storage state of the storage space. , to generate storage position information about the storage position of the content in the storage space. More specifically, the storage location information generation unit 151 may determine a storage location indicating where in the storage space the content is to be stored. The storage position determination method determines the storage position by a known cartoning calculation algorithm for storing a given object for a given volume of space. Here, especially in the case where the containment vessel type is defined for each predetermined volume with respect to the standard storage space volume according to the predetermined rule as described above, the contents are stored before (or after) storage. can also be calculated, and the remaining space information is also a volume value that can be easily converted into the type of containment vessel, making it easier to obtain the converted residual containment vessel type information in which the remaining space is converted into the type of containment vessel. As a result, it is possible to easily specify a storable position in the storage space based on the remaining space information. In particular, as described above, any of the depth, width, and height of the containment space is divided by a predetermined number and multiplied by a number less than the predetermined number. If the type of containment vessel volume is included, or if it includes multiple types of containment vessel volume that are set to be identifiable for each containment vessel volume divided by a predetermined number, it will be easier to specify the storage position in the containment space. become easier. In addition, when the storage space is partitioned so as to correspond to one of the storage container types by partitions or the like, the storage space information storage unit 122 associates the storage space identification information with the storage space identification information to identify the target storage space. divided area identification information that is identifiable for each area divided by a partition or the like and corresponding container type information corresponding to the divided area identification information are stored, and the storage position information generation unit 151 stores The target divided area identification information may be determined as the storage location information.
ここで、格納容器が基準格納空間容積に対して所定の容積ごとに格納容器種別が規定されている場合における格納位置決定例及び残余空間算出例について、図6を用いて簡略化して説明する。当該格納容器は、基準格納空間容積に対して高さを3で除して当該3以下の数で乗じた格納容器容積ごとに識別可能に設定された複数の格納容器容積の種別(例えば1/3、2/3、1)について例示する。
Here, a storage position determination example and a remaining space calculation example in the case where the containment vessel type is specified for each predetermined volume with respect to the standard storage space volume will be described in a simplified manner using FIG. The containment vessel has a plurality of types of containment vessel volume (for example, 1/ 3, 2/3, and 1).
まず、格納空間識別情報「0001」においては、ユーザ情報「U0001」が紐づけされている。ここに、基準格納空間容積の3分の1の容器(格納容器種別「S033」)に格納された格納物(格納物情報「N0001」)が格納される場合、格納物が未格納の格納空間に格納するため、格納位置は「格納空間の底面上(すなわち、1段目)」と決定される(この時、縦置きか横置きかを選択するために、格納物情報に置き方情報を追加してもよい)。そして、格納空間情報の格納状態情報は「格納空間の1/3に格納されている」ことを示すように更新され、残余空間情報は1から1/3を差し引き「2/3」と更新し、残余換算格納容器種別情報は「S033」が2つ、および、または「S066(基準格納空間容積の3分の2の容器を示す格納容器種別)」が1つを示す情報として更新される。
First, the user information "U0001" is associated with the storage space identification information "0001". If the contents (content information "N0001") stored in a container (container type "S033") with a volume of 1/3 of the standard storage space volume are stored here, the storage space where no contents are stored is stored. , the storage position is determined to be "on the bottom surface of the storage space (i.e., the first stage)" (At this time, in order to select vertical or horizontal placement, information on how to place in the stored item information is may be added). Then, the storage state information of the storage space information is updated to indicate "stored in 1/3 of the storage space", and the remaining space information is updated to "2/3" by subtracting 1/3 from 1. , the remaining converted containment vessel type information is updated as information indicating two "S033" and/or one "S066 (containment vessel type indicating a container with two-thirds of the standard storage space volume)".
同様に、基準格納空間容積の3分の1の容器(格納容器種別「S033」)に格納された格納物(格納物情報「N0010」)をさらに格納される場合、格納空間の底面上に格納物(N0001)が格納された格納空間にさらに格納するため、格納位置は「格納物(N0001)の上(すなわち、2段目)」と決定される。そして、格納空間情報の格納状態情報は「格納空間の2/3に格納されている」ことを示すように更新され、残余空間情報は2/3から1/3を差し引き「1/3」と更新し、残余換算格納容器種別情報は「S033」が1つを示す情報として更新される。
Similarly, if the stored item (content information "N0010") stored in a container (container type "S033") with a volume of 1/3 of the standard storage space is further stored, it is stored on the bottom surface of the storage space. Since the item (N0001) is to be stored in the storage space in which the item (N0001) is stored, the storage position is determined to be "upper (ie, second stage) of the item (N0001)". Then, the storage state information of the storage space information is updated to indicate "stored in 2/3 of the storage space", and the remaining space information is "1/3" by subtracting 1/3 from 2/3. , and the remaining converted containment vessel type information is updated as information indicating one "S033".
このようにして、格納位置の決定や残余空間の算出を行い、特に例示したように、格納空間の奥行、幅、高さのいずれかを所定数で除した場合には、より簡便に実行可能となる。なお、上述のとおり既知の箱詰め計算アルゴリズムにより、より高度な格納位置の決定や残余空間の算出が可能であり、その場合は格納物の格納位置の決定だけでなく、格納済みの格納物の格納位置も再決定をするようにしてもよい。
In this way, the storage position is determined and the remaining space is calculated. Especially when one of the depth, width, and height of the storage space is divided by a predetermined number, it can be executed more easily. becomes. In addition, as described above, it is possible to determine the storage position and calculate the remaining space in a more advanced manner by using the known packing calculation algorithm. The position may also be redetermined.
また、上記例のように格納空間内の共通領域に対する格納ではなく、格納空間内が間仕切り等によって格納容器種別のいずれかに対応するように分割領域が区切られている場合には、格納物を格納する際に分割領域識別情報を格納位置情報として格納位置を決定してもよい。そして、当該分割領域識別情報に格納する格納物の格納物識別情報を紐づけて管理し、残余空間情報は格納物の関連付けがない分割領域識別情報であって、残余換算格納容器種別情報は格納物の関連付けがない分割領域識別情報に対応する対応格納容器種別情報であってもよい。なお、間仕切りの位置が移動可能であって、対応格納容器種別情報を変更可能(例えば、「S033」が2つから「S066」に変更する、または、その逆など)であってもよいし、各分割領域識別情報に対応する対応格納容器種別情報が1つ(例えば、「S066」)だけでなく、これに代えて、もしくは、加えて、複数の対応格納容器種別情報(「S033」が2つ)が対応付けられていてもよい。
Also, if the storage space is divided into partitions that correspond to one of the storage container types, instead of storing in a common area in the storage space as in the above example, the stored items can be When storing, the storage position may be determined using the divided area identification information as the storage position information. Then, the content identification information of the content stored in the divided area identification information is linked and managed, and the residual space information is the divided area identification information that is not associated with the content, and the residual conversion container type information is stored. Corresponding container type information corresponding to divided area identification information that is not associated with an object may be used. In addition, the position of the partition may be movable, and the corresponding container type information may be changed (for example, from two "S033" to "S066", or vice versa), There is not only one corresponding containment vessel type information (for example, "S066") corresponding to each divided area identification information, but instead or in addition, a plurality of corresponding containment vessel type information ("S033" is two ) may be associated.
次に、図7及び図8を用いて、格納空間情報記憶部122に記憶される情報(特に残余空間情報)と格納空間(例として、個人ごとに割り振られた棚などの格納空間群)の例を示す。まず、格納空間識別情報「0001」においては、紐づけされているユーザ情報が「U0001」、格納物情報が「N0001」であり、格納物に対応する格納容器種別情報として、基準格納空間容積の4分の1の容器種別を示す「S025」が1つ格納されていることが示されているため、残余空間情報が「3/4」と算出されている。
Next, with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, information stored in the storage space information storage unit 122 (especially remaining space information) and storage space (for example, storage space groups such as shelves allocated for each individual) Give an example. First, in the storage space identification information "0001", the linked user information is "U0001" and the content information is "N0001". Since it is shown that one "S025" indicating the container type of 1/4 is stored, the remaining space information is calculated as "3/4".
次に、格納空間識別情報「0002」においては、紐づけされているユーザ情報が「U0011」、格納物情報が「N0002」であり、格納物に対応する格納容器種別情報として、基準格納空間容積の2分の1の容器種別を示す「S050」が1つ格納されていることが示されているため、残余空間情報が「1/2」と算出されている。
Next, in the storage space identification information "0002", the linked user information is "U0011" and the content information is "N0002". Since it is shown that one "S050" indicating the container type of 1/2 is stored, the remaining space information is calculated as "1/2".
次に、格納空間識別情報「0003」においては、紐づけされているユーザ情報が「U0005」、格納物情報が「N0003」であり、格納物に対応する格納容器種別情報として、基準格納空間容積と略同一の容器種別を示す「S100」が1つ格納されていることが示されているため、残余空間情報が「0」(すなわち、空きが無し)と算出されている。
Next, in the storage space identification information "0003", the linked user information is "U0005" and the content information is "N0003". Since it is shown that one "S100" indicating the container type substantially the same as is stored, the remaining space information is calculated as "0" (that is, no space).
次に、格納空間識別情報「0004」においては、紐づけされているユーザ情報が「U0003」、格納物情報が「N0004」、「N0005」であり、格納物に対応する格納容器種別情報として、上述の「S025」が1つ(例えば上下積載可否情報が上積厳禁を示す)、「S050」が1つ格納されていることが示されているため、残余空間情報が「1/4」と算出されている。
Next, in the storage space identification information "0004", the linked user information is "U0003" and the content information is "N0004" and "N0005". Since it is shown that there is one "S025" (for example, the information indicating whether or not vertical stacking is permitted or not indicates that stacking is strictly prohibited) and one "S050" is stored, the remaining space information is "1/4". calculated.
最後に、格納空間識別情報「0005」、「0006」においては、紐づけされているユーザ情報が「U0009」(すなわち、2つの格納空間を利用している)、格納物情報が「N0006」及び「N0007」、であり、格納物に対応する格納容器種別情報として、上述の「S100」が1つ、「S050」が1つ格納されていることが示されているため、残余空間情報が「0」と「1/2」と算出されている。この場合、ユーザ情報「U0009」のユーザにおける格納空間の実質的な残余空間は1/2といえる。
Finally, in the storage space identification information "0005" and "0006", the linked user information is "U0009" (that is, two storage spaces are used), and the content information is "N0006" and "N0007", and since it is indicated that one "S100" and one "S050" are stored as the containment vessel type information corresponding to the contents, the remaining space information is " 0" and "1/2". In this case, it can be said that the substantial remaining space of the storage space for the user of the user information "U0009" is 1/2.
このように、格納位置情報生成部151は、ユーザに紐づく格納空間への格納物を格納する格納容器の容積ごとの種類を示す格納容器種別情報と、当該格納空間の格納状態を示す格納状態情報とに基づき、当該格納空間内における前記格納物の格納位置に関する格納位置情報を生成することが可能となる。特に、格納容器種別情報として、上述のように所定の法則にしたがって基準格納空間容積に対して所定の容積ごとに格納容器種別が規定されていることで、パズルのごとく格納空間に格納物を効率的に収納することが可能となり、格納位置の決定が容易となる。また、格納位置情報生成部151により算出された残余空間を利用して、残余空間に追加する追加格納物を抽出し、選択された追加格納物の格納位置も決定することが可能となる。追加格納物の抽出については、以下詳述する。
In this way, the storage position information generation unit 151 generates storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of the storage container that stores the items in the storage space linked to the user, and the storage state indicating the storage state of the storage space. Based on the information, it is possible to generate storage position information regarding the storage position of the content in the storage space. In particular, as the containment vessel type information, the containment vessel type is specified for each predetermined volume with respect to the standard storage space volume according to the predetermined rule as described above, so that the stored items can be efficiently stored in the storage space like a puzzle. This makes it possible to store them in an orderly manner, making it easy to determine the storage position. Further, by using the residual space calculated by the storage position information generation unit 151, it is possible to extract an additional content to be added to the residual space and determine the storage position of the selected additional content. Extraction of additional content is described in detail below.
追加格納物抽出部152は、対象となる格納空間の残余空間に格納可能な追加格納物を示す追加格納物情報を抽出する。より具体的には、追加格納物抽出部152は、例えば、対象となる格納空間の残余空間に対応する残余空間情報(特に、残余換算格納容器種別情報)に基づき、格納可能な追加格納物を示す追加格納物情報を抽出する。すなわち、残余空間に対応する格納容器種別と比較して、当該格納容器種別が示す容積以下の格納容器種別に対応する追加格納物情報が抽出される。残余空間に対応する格納容器種別は、複数選択可能であってもよく、例えば格納位置情報生成部151により、残余空間に対応する格納容器種別の組み合わせ情報を算出し、当該組み合わせ情報に対応する格納容器種別の追加格納物情報を抽出してもよい(例えば、残余空間1/2に対して、格納容器種別1/4の追加格納物を2つ格納可能とする組み合わせや、格納容器種別1/4の追加格納物1つと格納容器種別1/8の追加格納物2つ格納可能とする組み合わせ、格納容器種別1/8の追加格納物4つ格納可能とする組み合わせなど)。追加格納物情報は、例えばユーザ端末2上のアプリケーションを介して追加格納物情報(特に、一覧情報)を提示してもよいし、作業者端末3上のアプリケーションを介して追加格納物情報(特に、一覧情報)を提示してもよい。作業者が追加格納物情報を選択する場合には、選択した追加格納物情報をデータ管理部120からユーザ端末2へ送信し、ユーザのアプリケーション上で追加格納物情報の許可確認処理を実行し、データ管理部120が許可を示す情報を受け付けた場合に配送追加格納物情報として確定するようにしてもよい。さらに、例えば組み合わせ情報を利用して二以上の追加格納物を選択可能とする場合、選択された商品の格納容器種別に応じて、格納不可能となった格納容器種別が判定された場合(例えば、残余空間1/2に対して、格納容器種別1/8の追加格納物を3つ選んだために格納容器種別1/8より大きい容積は選択不可になったり、格納容器種別1/3の追加格納物を選んだために格納容器種別1/6より大きい容積は選択不可になるなど)、格納不可能となった格納容器種別に対応する追加格納物情報を選択不可とする処理(例えば、グレーアウトして選択操作を制限したり、一覧情報に表示しないようにするなど)を実行してもよい。追加格納物は、種々の格納物であり得るので、以下に例示する。
The additional content extraction unit 152 extracts additional content information indicating additional content that can be stored in the remaining space of the target storage space. More specifically, the additional storage item extraction unit 152 extracts additional storage items that can be stored based on, for example, residual space information (particularly, residual conversion container type information) corresponding to the residual space of the target storage space. Extract the additional content information shown. That is, compared with the storage container type corresponding to the remaining space, the additional content information corresponding to the storage container type whose volume is equal to or less than the volume indicated by the storage container type is extracted. A plurality of storage container types corresponding to the remaining space may be selected. Additional storage object information for each container type may be extracted (for example, a combination that allows two additional storage objects of 1/4 of the container type to be stored in the remaining space of 1/2, or a combination of 1/4 of the container type 4 additional storage items and two additional storage items of type 1/8 of the containment vessel, combination of storage of four additional items of type 1/8 of the containment vessel, etc.). As for the additional content information, for example, additional content information (especially list information) may be presented via an application on the user terminal 2, or additional content information (especially list information) may be presented via an application on the worker terminal 3 , list information) may be presented. When the operator selects additional content information, the selected additional content information is transmitted from the data management unit 120 to the user terminal 2, permission confirmation processing for the additional content information is executed on the user's application, When the data management unit 120 receives information indicating permission, it may be determined as additional delivery content information. Furthermore, for example, when it is possible to select two or more additional items to be stored using the combination information, the type of container that cannot be stored is determined according to the type of container of the selected product (for example, , For the remaining space of 1/2, since three additional storage items with a containment vessel type of 1/8 were selected, a volume larger than the containment vessel type of 1/8 cannot be selected, or a containment vessel type of 1/3 Since additional storage items are selected, volumes larger than 1/6 of the containment vessel type cannot be selected, etc.), processing to disable selection of additional content information corresponding to the containment vessel type that has become unstorable (for example, may be grayed out to restrict selection operations, or not displayed in the list information). The additional content can be a variety of content and is exemplified below.

格納位置指示情報生成部153は、格納位置情報生成部151により生成された格納位置情報に基づき、作業者端末3を有する作業者に対して格納物の格納空間内における格納位置を視覚的に指示する格納位置指示情報を生成する。なお、格納位置指示情報生成部153は、作業者端末3等に格納されたアプリケーション(Webブラウザ含む)により制御部20にて実行される機能部であってもよい。すなわち、格納位置情報生成部151により生成された格納位置情報が情報送受信部100を介して作業者端末3へ送信され、作業者端末3の制御部20(格納位置指示情報生成部153)により格納位置指示情報を同様に生成してもよい。
Based on the storage position information generated by the storage position information generation unit 151, the storage position instruction information generation unit 153 visually instructs the worker having the worker terminal 3 about the storage position of the storage object in the storage space. Generates storage location indication information to be used. Note that the storage position indication information generation unit 153 may be a functional unit that is executed by the control unit 20 by an application (including a web browser) stored in the worker terminal 3 or the like. That is, the storage position information generated by the storage position information generation unit 151 is transmitted to the worker terminal 3 via the information transmission/reception unit 100, and stored by the control unit 20 (storage position instruction information generation unit 153) of the worker terminal 3. Location-indicating information may be similarly generated.
ここで、格納位置指示情報生成部153により生成される格納位置指示情報について説明する。格納位置指示情報は、例えば「1段目に格納してください」などの格納空間内における格納物の格納位置を示すテキスト情報であってもよいし、格納空間内における格納物の格納位置を示す画像情報であってもよい。
Here, the storage position indication information generated by the storage position indication information generation unit 153 will be explained. The storage position indication information may be, for example, text information indicating the storage position of the content in the storage space, such as "Please store in the first stage", or it may indicate the storage position of the content in the storage space. It may be image information.
より具体的な例として、上述の格納空間識別情報「0001」の例を利用して説明する。まず、格納物(格納物情報「N0001」)を未格納の格納空間に格納する場合には、格納位置指示領域910には格納位置指示情報として、格納空間の1段目に格納物が格納されていることを示す画像情報と「1段目に格納してください」いうテキスト情報が生成され表示されている(図9参照)。
As a more specific example, the above example of the storage space identification information "0001" will be used. First, when storing an object (content information “N0001”) in an unstored storage space, the object is stored in the first stage of the storage space as the storage position indication information in the storage position indication area 910 . Image information indicating that the data is stored and text information saying "Please store in the first row" are generated and displayed (see FIG. 9).
次に、底面上に格納物(N0001)が格納された格納空間にさらに格納物(N0010)を格納する場合、格納位置指示領域910には格納位置指示情報として、格納空間の2段目に格納物が格納されていることを示す画像情報と「2段目に格納してください」いうテキスト情報が生成され表示されている(図10参照)。この時、例えば、図10に例示されるように、画像情報において、既に格納されている格納物(N0001)と、格納位置指示の対象となっている格納物(N0010)とで、色や模様などが視覚的に異なる表示であってもよい。
Next, when storing an object (N0010) in the storage space in which the object (N0001) is stored on the bottom surface, the stored object (N0010) is stored in the storage position indication area 910 in the second stage of the storage space as storage location indication information. Image information indicating that an object is stored and text information "Please store in the second row" are generated and displayed (see FIG. 10). At this time, for example, as exemplified in FIG. 10, in the image information, the content (N0001) that has already been stored and the content (N0010) that is the target of the storage position instruction may differ in color and pattern. and the like may be visually different displays.
また、上記例のように格納空間内の共通領域に対する格納ではなく、格納空間内が間仕切り等によって格納容器種別のいずれかに対応するように分割領域が区切られている場合には、格納位置指示領域910には格納位置指示情報として、格納対象とする分割領域に格納物が格納されていることを示す画像情報と「(分割領域識別情報)に格納してください」というテキスト情報が生成され表示されてもよい。
In addition, when the storage space is divided into partitions so as to correspond to one of the storage container types, instead of storing in a common area in the storage space as in the above example, the storage position instruction In an area 910, as storage position indication information, image information indicating that a content is stored in a divided area to be stored and text information "Please store in (divided area identification information)" are generated and displayed. may be
なお、上記例のように格納空間の奥行、幅、高さのいずれかを所定数で除した格納容器種別を用いる場合は、格納位置指示情報としての画像情報は、図9、10に例示するように1方向のみから確認可能な格納空間を示す図などの画像情報であってもよいが、これに限らず、2方向以上から確認可能な格納空間を示す画像情報(例えば、格納空間の前側、横側、上側の3方向から見た格納空間を示す画像情報や、格納空間及び格納物が三次元モデルにより表現された画像情報など)であってもよい。
As in the above example, when using a container type obtained by dividing any of the depth, width, and height of the storage space by a predetermined number, the image information as the storage position indication information is illustrated in FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and image information showing a storage space that can be seen from two or more directions (for example, the front side of the storage space). , lateral side, and upper side, or image information in which the storage space and stored items are represented by a three-dimensional model, etc.).

ここで、本情報処理システムにより提供される、ユーザまたは作業者は、アプリケーション(ウェブブラウザを含む)等を利用して管理サーバ1にアクセスし、初めてサービスを利用する場合は、利用登録処理を行ってログインしてもよく、既にアカウントを取得済の場合は、例えばIDとパスワードを入力する等の所定の認証を受けてログインすることで、サービスが利用可能としてもよい。なお、アカウントに代えて、ユーザ端末2または作業者端末3にダウンロードされたアプリケーションに関連する固有のアプリケーションIDをユーザ識別情報(ID)として当該サービスを利用可能としてもよい。このログイン認証後、アプリケーション(ウェブブラウザ含む)等を介してサービス利用が開始される。
Here, a user or worker provided by this information processing system accesses the management server 1 using an application (including a web browser) or the like, and when using the service for the first time, performs use registration processing. Alternatively, if an account has already been obtained, the service may be made available by logging in after receiving predetermined authentication such as entering an ID and password. In place of the account, the service may be made available using a unique application ID associated with the application downloaded to the user terminal 2 or worker terminal 3 as user identification information (ID). After this login authentication, use of the service is started via an application (including a web browser) or the like.
まず、本例では、管理サーバ1のデータ管理部120(特に格納管理部150)は、例えば読取機による格納物等に付された識別コードの読み取りなどの格納物受け入れ処理や追加格納物の抽出処理等に応じて、新たな格納物識別情報や新たな格納空間識別情報を生成して、生成した格納物情報や格納空間情報をユーザに紐づけて登録を実行する(S101)。ここで、格納空間がすでにユーザに紐づいている場合には、格納物情報(追加格納物情報を含んでもよい)だけ登録してもよい。
First, in this example, the data management unit 120 (especially the storage management unit 150) of the management server 1 performs processing for accepting contents, such as reading an identification code attached to the contents by a reader, and extracting additional contents. According to the processing, new content identification information and new storage space identification information are generated, and the generated content information and storage space information are linked to the user and registered (S101). Here, if the storage space is already associated with the user, only the content information (which may include additional content information) may be registered.
次に、格納位置情報生成部151は、ユーザに紐づく格納空間への格納物を格納する格納容器の容積ごとの種類を示す格納容器種別情報と、当該格納空間の格納状態を示す格納状態情報とに基づき、当該格納空間内における前記格納物の格納位置に関する格納位置情報を生成し、対応する格納空間情報の更新を実行する(S102)。この時、格納管理部150(例えば、格納位置情報生成部151)は、格納位置情報の生成に併せて残余空間情報も算出して格納空間情報を更新してもよい。
Next, the storage position information generating unit 151 generates storage container type information indicating the type of each volume of the storage container that stores the items in the storage space linked to the user, and storage state information indicating the storage state of the storage space. Based on the above, storage position information regarding the storage position of the content in the storage space is generated, and the corresponding storage space information is updated (S102). At this time, the storage management unit 150 (for example, the storage location information generation unit 151) may calculate remaining space information together with the generation of the storage location information to update the storage space information.
次に、情報送受信部100は、生成された前記格納位置情報、または、当該格納位置情報に基づき生成され、格納空間における格納位置を指示するための格納位置指示情報の少なくともいずれかを作業者端末へ送信する(S103)。すなわち、格納位置指示情報生成部153がユーザ端末2の機能部である場合には、本ステップS103において格納位置情報を作業端末へ送信し、格納位置指示情報生成部153が管理サーバ1の機能部である場合には、本ステップS103の前に次ステップS104を実行して格納位置指示情報を生成し、本ステップS103にて格納位置指示情報を作業端末へ送信するようにしてもよい。
Next, the information transmitting/receiving unit 100 sends at least one of the generated storage location information and storage location instruction information generated based on the storage location information and used to indicate the storage location in the storage space to the worker terminal. (S103). That is, when the storage position indication information generation unit 153 is a functional unit of the user terminal 2, the storage location information is transmitted to the work terminal in step S103, and the storage location indication information generation unit 153 is a functional unit of the management server 1. , the next step S104 may be executed before this step S103 to generate storage position indication information, and the storage position indication information may be transmitted to the work terminal in this step S103.
次に、格納位置指示情報生成部153は、格納位置情報生成部151により生成された格納位置情報に基づき、作業者端末3を有する作業者に対して格納物の格納空間内における格納位置を視覚的に指示する格納位置指示情報を生成する(S104)。
Next, based on the storage position information generated by the storage position information generation unit 151, the storage position instruction information generation unit 153 visually indicates to the worker who has the worker terminal 3 the storage position of the storage object in the storage space. The storage position indication information that specifically indicates is generated (S104).
その後、格納物が既に本システムに対応する格納容器に格納済みである場合には格納位置指示情報に基づく格納位置に作業員がそのまま格納空間し、まだ格納済みでない場合には格納位置指示情報にて示される格納容器種別情報に基づき作業員が内容物を格納容器に格納した後に格納空間に格納するようにしてもよい。
After that, if the stored items have already been stored in the containment vessel corresponding to this system, the worker directly stores them in the storage position based on the storage position instruction information. After the contents are stored in the storage container based on the storage container type information indicated by , the worker may store the contents in the storage space.
そして、作業員には、ステータスを「格納完了」とするために格納完了領域930への選択操作をさせてもよく、当該選択操作に応じて格納空間情報の更新を実行してもよい。また、作業員は、必要に応じて、格納物情報確認領域920への選択操作に基づき格納物の詳細情報(格納物情報など)を確認可能にしてもよいし、例えば登録順などで並ぶ格納物一覧画面に戻るために格納物一覧要求領域940への選択操作をさせてもよい。
Then, the worker may perform a selection operation on the storage completion area 930 in order to set the status to "storage completed", and the storage space information may be updated according to the selection operation. In addition, if necessary, the worker may be able to check the detailed information (content information, etc.) of the content based on the selection operation in the content information confirmation area 920, or the storage items arranged in the order of registration, for example, may be checked. In order to return to the item list screen, a selection operation may be made to the content item list request area 940 .
以上のように、格納容器種別識別情報を用いて格納物(例えば配送物など)を定型化して管理することで、格納物の総合的な物量の把握を容易にし、様々な格納空間への効率的な格納を可能とする情報処理システム及びサーバ、情報処理方法、プログラムを提供することができる。
As described above, by stylizing and managing stored items (for example, items to be delivered) using the containment vessel type identification information, it becomes easier to grasp the overall amount of stored items, and the efficiency of various storage spaces can be improved. It is possible to provide an information processing system, a server, an information processing method, and a program that enable the storage of data.
