[0008]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is an example of a block diagram of an electronic courier delivery receiving box to which an electronic locker system according to the present invention is applied, wherein 1 is the entire electronic courier delivery receiving box, 2 is a receiving box section, 3 is an electromagnetic lock control section, and 4 is A card control unit, 5 is a card reading / writing unit, 6 is a display unit, 7 is an arithmetic processing unit, 8 is a line control unit, 9 is an input key, 10 is an amount information storage unit, and 11 is an ID number storage unit.

Here, the ID number storage unit 11, an example of a block diagram of which is shown in FIG. 2, has an input / output control unit 12 and a recipient I.
D number storage unit 13, designated trader ID number storage unit 14, ID
The number family information storage unit 15 is used. The ID number of the recipient of the parcel is stored in the recipient ID number storage unit 13, but when the box is empty, nothing is stored. Further, since the designated trader ID number storage unit 14 stores the ID number of the designated trader of the courier service, no one other than the designated trader can put the parcel in the box. Further, as shown in a concrete example in FIG. 3, the ID number / family information storage unit 15 stores the ID number of each person's IC card for each room in the same building.

First, an outline of the electronic courier service receiving box will be described. The electronic courier receiving box will be installed at the entrance of apartments such as condominiums and apartments, and the courier will put the luggage in the box and lock the key at the time of delivery. The recipient can open the box with his key
You can receive the luggage inside. By using this courier receiving box, the courier delivery person can put the luggage even when the recipient is absent, so it is particularly effective for delivery to students who are absent during the daytime and double-income households. . Further, by adopting the electronic wallet system, the ID number of the IC card can also be used as the key of the box, and furthermore, it is possible to make a monetary payment using electronic money when cash on delivery by courier. It should be noted that, in FIG. 1, there is a plurality of electronic courier receiving boxes in each building of an apartment or condominium, and the recipient can freely use any of the boxes, but it is 1: 1 for each household. It does not matter if the courier box is compatible.

FIG. 4 shows a flow of operations performed by a courier's courier using his / her electronic wallet before delivery. When the courier uses his or her IC card to unlock the electronic courier inbox, it is necessary to register the information of the parcel receiver and the amount of money at the time of cash on delivery in the IC card of the courier. . Therefore, the delivery person inserts his IC card into the electronic wallet before delivery (step S
11), writing the recipient's room number (step S12)
Then, at the time of cash on delivery (step S13), the amount information is written (step S14). Here, it is assumed that the electronic wallet stores room number information and amount information for all recipients, and the delivery person operates the input keys to set the room number and the amount of the next household to be delivered. Information is stored in the memory in the IC card. When the information is written in the IC card of the delivery person, the IC card is ejected from the electronic wallet (step S15), and the process ends (step S16). In addition to the above example, the courier slip itself may be an IC card. In this case, it is not necessary for the delivery person to write the recipient's room number and the amount of money information into his / her IC card every time.

After the above operation, the delivery person puts the package in the electronic courier receiving box 1 shown in FIG. 1 and locks it.
After that, the recipient opens the key and receives the package. The process will be described in detail with reference to the operation flow shown in FIG. First, the operation in which the delivery person puts the package in the box will be described. When the delivery person inserts his or her IC card into the card insertion slot (step S21), the card controller 4 causes the I
The C card is inserted inside. After that, the card reading / writing unit 5 reads the ID number of the IC card and supplies it to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S22). Here, it is confirmed whether or not the ID number of the recipient is stored in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 (step S23), but if it is not stored, the receiving box 2 is empty. Proceeding to the flow on the right side of the figure, the delivery person can put the package inside.

Thereafter, a confirmation operation is performed as to whether or not the ID number of the IC card of the delivery person is registered in the designated trader ID number storage section 14 (step S50), and if it is the designated trader, proceed to the next operation. However, if it is not specified, the IC card will be ejected and the luggage cannot be put inside. As described above, since only a specific trader can put the luggage in the box, the safety of the box can be ensured.

When it is confirmed that the delivery person is the designated contractor, the card reading / writing section 5 reads the information of the recipient's room number stored in the memory of the IC card and the information of the amount of money at the time of cash on delivery (step. S51). Here, the read room number is the ID number family information storage unit 1
5 is registered (step S52), the electromagnetic lock control section 3 unlocks the receiving box section 2 (step S53). However, if it is not registered, the corresponding delivery destination is not in the building. Therefore, the IC card is ejected (step S62), and the process ends (step S6).
3). This corresponds to the case where the delivery person mistakenly registers the delivery destination information in the IC card or tries to put the package in the courier receiving box of a different building.

When the box is unlocked, the recipient's room number is displayed on the display unit 6 (step S54), which indicates that the box has been loaded. The ID number of each person at the delivery destination is read from the ID number family information storage unit 15 using the information on the recipient's room number, and then registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 (step S55). ). Similarly, when the amount information is read from the IC card (step S56), the amount is displayed on the display unit 6 (step S57) and registered in the amount information storage unit 10 (step S58).

Alternatively, the display of the amount of money on the display unit 6 may be displayed once and then disappeared, and may be displayed again when the recipient inserts the IC card. However, in this case, only the charge display may be constantly displayed so that the recipient can understand that the courier is cash on delivery even before the IC card is inserted into the electronic courier delivery box. In addition to the room number and the amount of money, the display unit 6 may display the information of the sender and the contents of the parcel delivery package. In this case, the delivery person also inputs the information of the sender and the information of the parcel delivery service into his / her IC card, inserts the IC card into the electronic courier receiving box, and then reads the information and displays it on the display unit 6. Further, the courier information display unit is installed in each home so that the resident can know in the room that the courier has arrived.

When the delivery person puts the parcel in the box section 2 (step S59), he / she presses the input key 9 and inputs to the arithmetic processing section 7 that the processing is completed (step S60).
As a result, the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 controls the receiving box unit 2
Is locked (step S61). In addition, the card controller 4 ejects the IC card (step S6).
2) The operation of putting the parcel in the box by the delivery person ends (step S63).

Next, an operation in which the recipient receives the parcel in the box will be described. When the recipient inserts his or her IC card into the card insertion slot (step S21), the card control unit 4
The IC card is inserted by. After that, the card reading / writing unit 5 reads the ID number of the IC card and supplies it to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S22). Here, it is confirmed whether or not the recipient's ID number is stored in the recipient's ID number storage unit 13 (step S
23) If the package is inside, the ID number of the recipient is registered, so it is confirmed whether it matches the ID number read from the IC card (step S2).
4). If the ID numbers do not match, the IC card is ejected and the package cannot be taken out, so that the package can be prevented from being stolen.

After that, if the amount information is registered in the amount information storage unit 10 (step S25), it is treated as cash on delivery, so the balance in the IC card is read (step S26) and payment is possible. It is confirmed (step S27). If payment is not possible, the display section 6 indicates that the balance is insufficient (S40), and the IC card is ejected. Therefore, it is necessary to perform the same operation after replenishing the IC card with the amount. On the other hand, if payment is possible, IC
The card is charged with the amount of money, and the transfer of money ends (step S28).

When the lock of the receiving box section 2 is unlocked by the electromagnetic lock control section 3 (step S29), the recipient takes out the parcel from the box section 2 (step S30) and presses the input key 9 to confirm that the processing is completed. The data is input to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S31). As a result, the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 locks the receiving box unit 2 (step S32). Thereafter, the information registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 and the amount information storage unit 10 is erased (step S33), and the display on the display unit 6 is erased (step S34). Further, the IC card is ejected by the card control unit 4 (step S41), and the operation of taking out the parcel from the box by the recipient ends (step S42). As described above, by applying the electronic wallet system using the IC card to the courier receiving box, it is possible to simultaneously open and close the key of the box and transfer money at the time of cash on delivery. The information about the amount of money received from the IC card is transmitted from the line control unit 8 to the courier center or the bank for processing.

In FIG. 1, the case where the arithmetic processing unit 7 is installed in each electronic courier box has been described, but as shown in FIG. 6, the courier box units 16 to 18 and the central management unit 19 are separated. Good. In this case, by transmitting / receiving the key open / close signal and the display signal of the box via the line controller 8, the box can be centrally managed, and the electronic courier box can be realized at low cost. It should be noted that the display unit 6 of the central management unit 19 indicates whether or not there is luggage in each box, the recipient's room number,
Amount information and the like are shown.

Here, the ID number storage unit 11 will be supplementarily described. It is assumed that the ID number family information and the designated trader ID number are registered in the ID number storage unit 11 in advance. The registration of the ID number family information is performed, for example, by switching to the registration mode by the input key 9 and then inserting the IC card of each person and storing it in the ID number family information storage unit 15. This allows anyone in the family to pick up the courier parcel. Further, the designated trader ID number can be registered in the same manner.

In the above embodiment, the recipient's room number is entered in the IC card of the trader, but the recipient's ID number may be entered directly. Further, without registering the ID number information of the whole family, only the ID number of the IC card of a specific person in the family may be received when receiving the courier. Further, as for the processing when the balance is insufficient, a method that enables the combined use of cash and a method that enables the combined use of credits can be considered.

Next, another embodiment of the electronic courier delivery receiving box will be described using the operation flow shown in FIG. The process in which the delivery person puts the package in the box is the same as the flow in FIG. In the operation flow shown in FIG. 5, since the recipient is forcibly charged when receiving the cash on delivery courier, for example, even when an item that the person does not want is sent, the IC
The amount of money is withdrawn from the card. Therefore, FIG.
The process of the flow is when the ID number of the IC card of the recipient matches the registered content of the recipient ID number storage unit 13 (step S104), and the amount information is written in the amount information storage unit 10 ( In step S105), that is, when the billing process is performed, the recipient confirms the amount information and the contents of the parcel delivery package displayed on the display unit 6, and then operates the input key 9 to accept the receipt (step S105). S10
6), so that the subsequent processing is performed. As a result, the recipient can refuse to receive the item that the recipient does not desire.

The electronic courier receiving box to which the electronic locker system according to the present invention is applied has been described above. Next, an electronic cleaning box to which the electronic locker system according to the present invention is applied will be described with reference to FIG. Reference numeral 19 is a cleaning box section, 20 is an entire electronic cleaning box, and 21 is a cleaning article information storage section for storing the content and quantity of the article to be cleaned. Here, the operation in which the recipient puts the laundry in the cleaning box and the operator takes out the laundry, and the laundry puts the laundry in the cleaning box again after the laundry is taken in by the recipient will be described with reference to the operation flows shown in FIGS.

First, the operation in which the recipient puts the item to be cleaned in the box will be described. The recipient is my I

When the client presses the input key 9 to input that the processing is completed to the arithmetic processing section 7 (step S227), the electromagnetic lock control section 3 locks the box section 19 (step S228). In addition, information on the cleaning content and the quantity registered by the client is written in the IC card. Further, the card control unit 4 ejects the IC card (step S229), and the operation of putting the item to be cleaned in the box ends (step S230). Here, the cleaning content and quantity registered by the client may be printed out.

Next, a description will be given of the operation of taking out the item to be cleaned from the box by the trader. When the trader inserts his / her IC card into the card insertion slot (step S201), the card controller 4 inserts the IC card therein. Then, the card reading / writing unit 5 reads the ID number of the IC card and supplies it to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S2).
02). Here, in step S203, it is confirmed whether the recipient's ID number is stored in the recipient's ID number storage unit 13. If the item to be cleaned is inside, the recipient's ID number is registered. Therefore, the process proceeds to step S240. In step S241, the presence / absence of money amount information is checked. Since the money amount information is not written in the money amount information storage unit 10 before cleaning, the process proceeds to step S270 and subsequent steps in FIG.

In step S270, a confirmation operation is then performed as to whether or not the ID number of the IC card of the delivery person is registered in the designated trader ID number storage section 14. Although the key is unlocked in step S271, if the item to be cleaned is in the box, only the designated contractor can unlock the box, so that theft can be prevented. If it is confirmed that you are a designated contractor, IC
The information of the recipient's room number and the content and quantity of the item to be cleaned are written in the memory of the card (step S272). In this case, the ID number family information storage unit 15
The room number is called from the recipient ID number in accordance with the information of 1. and stored in the IC card.

When the trader takes out the item to be cleaned (step S273), he / she presses the input key 9 to input that the processing is completed to the arithmetic processing section 7 (step S27).
4). As a result, the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 locks the box unit 19 (step S275). Further, the information registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 and the cleaning material information storage unit 21 is erased (step S276), and the display on the display unit 6 is erased (step S277). Further, the card controller 4 ejects the IC card (step S278), and the operation of taking out the item to be cleaned from the box is completed (step S280).

Next, a description will be given of the operation of putting a cleaned item in a box by a trader. In FIG. 9, when the trader inserts his or her IC card into the card insertion slot (step S2
01), the IC card is inserted by the card control unit 4. After that, the ID number of the IC card is read by the card reading / writing unit 5 and supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S202). Recipient ID in step S203
It is confirmed whether or not the ID number of the recipient is stored in the number storage unit 13. However, if the item to be cleaned is not inside, the ID number of the recipient is not registered, so the process proceeds to step S204. . Here, the ID number read from the IC card is the designated trader ID number storage unit 1
4 is performed (step S204), but if it is confirmed that the contractor is a designated trader, the operation proceeds to step S205 and subsequent steps.

When it is confirmed that the delivery person is the designated trader, the card reader / writer 5 reads the information of the recipient's room number and the amount of money stored in the memory of the IC card (step S205). . Here, when the read room number is registered in the ID number family information storage unit 15 (step S206), the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 unlocks the receiving box unit 2 (step S207), but the registration is performed. If not, the corresponding delivery destination is not inside the building, so the IC card is ejected and the process ends. When the box is unlocked, the room number of the recipient is displayed on the display unit 6 and it is indicated that the box contains the cleaned item (step S20).
8). Also, the ID number of each person at the delivery destination is read from the ID number family information storage unit 15 using the information of the recipient's room number, and then registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 (step S209). ). Similarly, the amount of money is displayed on the display unit 6 (step S210) and registered in the amount of money information storage unit 10 (step S211).

The display of the amount of money on the display unit 6 may be displayed once and then disappear, and may be displayed again when the recipient inserts the IC card. Further, the display unit 6 may simultaneously display the content and quantity of the cleaning material. In this case, the delivery person also inputs information on the content and quantity of the cleaning product into his or her IC card, reads the information after inserting the IC card into the electronic cleaning box, and displays it on the display unit 6. When the trader puts the cleaned item in the box portion 19 (step S212), the operator inputs the fact that the processing is completed by pressing the input key 9 to the arithmetic processing portion 7 (step S213). As a result, the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 locks the receiving box unit 19 (step S214). Further, the card control unit 4 ejects the IC card (step S215), and the operation of putting the cleaned item in the box ends (step S216).

Finally, the operation for the recipient to take out the cleaned article will be described. In FIG. 9, when the recipient inserts his or her IC card into the card insertion slot (step S20
1), the card controller 4 inserts the IC card therein. After that, the card read / write unit 5 causes the IC card I
The D number is read and supplied to the arithmetic processing unit 7 (step S202). In step S203, it is confirmed whether the recipient's ID number is stored in the recipient's ID number storage unit 13. If the cleaned item is inside, the recipient's ID number is registered. Because
It proceeds to step S240. Here, in step S241, the presence / absence of the amount information is checked, and since the amount information is written in the amount information storage unit 10 after cleaning, the process proceeds to step S242 and the subsequent steps.

It is confirmed whether or not the ID number read from the IC card is registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 (step S242). This is done by a person other than the recipient who unlocks the key and cleans it. This is to prevent things from being taken out. When it is confirmed that the ID number of the IC card is a legitimate recipient, the balance in the IC card is read (step S243) and it is confirmed whether payment is possible (step S244). If payment is not possible, the display section 6 indicates that the balance is insufficient (step S260), and the IC card is ejected (step S252). Therefore, the same operation is performed after the IC card is replenished with the amount. There is a need. On the other hand, if payment is possible, the IC card is charged with the amount of money, and the transfer of money ends (step S245).

The electromagnetic lock control unit 3 controls the box unit 19
When the key is opened (step S246), the recipient takes out the cleaned article from the box section 19 (step S247), presses the input key 9 and inputs to the arithmetic processing section 7 that the processing is completed (step S248). . As a result, the electromagnetic lock control unit 3 locks the box unit 19 (step S249). After that, the amount information of the cleaned item is written in the IC card of the recipient to replace the receipt. In addition, the information registered in the recipient ID number storage unit 13 and the amount information storage unit 10 is erased (step S250), and the display on the display unit 6 is erased (step S251). Further, the card controller 4 ejects the IC card (step S
252), the operation of taking out the cleaned item from the box ends (step S253). Here, the amount information and the amount information of the cleaned items may be printed out to form a receipt.

As described above, by applying the electronic wallet system using the IC card to the cleaning box, it is possible to simultaneously open and close the key of the box and transfer money. Also, the trader can deliver the cleaned item even when he is absent. The information such as the recipient's room number and the quantity to be cleaned written in the IC card can be read by a trader using an electronic wallet or the like. Also, an electronic wallet or the like may be used when writing information such as the recipient's room number and the amount of money into the IC card.

Although FIG. 8 illustrates the case where the arithmetic processing unit 7 is installed in each electronic cleaning box, it may be separated into a cleaning box unit and a centralized management unit as in the electronic courier receiving box. Also, the ID number storage unit 11
The ID number family information and the designated trader ID number may be registered in advance as in the case of the electronic courier delivery box.

Here, in the above embodiment, the recipient's room number is input / output to / from the IC card of the trader.
The D number may be directly input / output. Alternatively, only the ID number of the IC card of the person who issued the cleaning may be received without recording the family information of the ID number. Further, as for the processing when the balance is insufficient, a method that enables the combined use of cash and a method that enables the combined use of credits can be considered. In addition, the IC card of the client of the cleaning item
Information such as the contents, quantity, and amount of cleaning items is input and output and substitutes for receipts, but it is recorded and managed along with date and time information so that the recorded contents are clear, and the recorded contents can be printed out. Need to do so.

The specific embodiment of the electronic locker system according to the present invention has been described above. Next, the IC on the delivery side
Another example of the card will be described. As in the above-described embodiment, it is troublesome for the delivery person to insert the IC card every time to open and close the key of the locker box and exchange the contents, quantity, amount information and the like of the delivered items. Therefore, the delivery person can save the trouble of inserting the IC card every time by using the non-contact IC card or the portable terminal. In this case, contactless I owned by the delivery person instead of the slip
It is assumed that the C card stores the recipient's room number and the content, quantity, amount of money, etc. of the delivered product, and the above information is transmitted to the electronic locker system in a contactless manner for processing. Similarly, it is assumed that the portable terminal owned by the delivery person stores the room numbers of all the recipients and the contents, quantity, amount information, etc. of the deliveries. When the household to be delivered to is selected, the information of the household is transmitted to the electronic locker system in a contactless manner and processed.
As described above, the delivery person can open and close the key and send and receive information without inserting the IC card every time.

Finally, the ID in the electronic locker system
Another embodiment of the number family information storage unit 15 will be described.
In the above embodiment, the ID number family information storage unit 15 is registered in the dedicated memory in the electronic locker system. for that reason,
Residents of condominiums and apartments are required to register ID number family information in the dedicated memory in order to use the electronic locker system. However, when the key of the room of the condominium or the apartment is managed by using the ID number of the IC card, a memory for storing the ID number and family information is required for each home. Therefore, in the electronic locker system as well, the inquiry about the ID number family information can use the ID number family information stored in the memory for each home. In this case, it is not necessary to register the ID number family information again for the electronic locker system.
