When the bag 270 is collected from the locker 10, washed in the factory 230, and the bag 270 storing the cleaned laundry is returned to the locker 10, the user 20 goes to the locker 10 displayed on the returned screen. By reading the barcode 14 affixed thereto, the password is obtained from the server 80, the locker 10 is unlocked based on the password, and the bag 270 is received.

As described above, the locker 10 itself is not connected to the network and does not need to be energized, so that it is possible to deliver laundry even during a power failure. Furthermore, since a password for unlocking and unlocking is transmitted from the server 80 each time, it is possible to reduce the possibility that the laundry stored in the locker 10 will be stolen by anyone other than the user 20 and enhance the security effect. . In addition, proposals from the factory 230 side can be made, and the possibility of appropriate cleaning can be expanded by making proposals from a professional viewpoint.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, by using the locker 10 for storing and returning the laundry to be cleaned, the user can use the user terminal device 210 such as a smart phone for easy cleaning. In addition, there are three problems of the cleaning service provided at the store, that is, the user 20 who is embarrassed by handing over during business hours, having a long waiting time for inspection, and checking the dirty things in front of each other. Pain, can be solved.

The timing for obtaining the identification key is, for example, when the wireless terminal of the user terminal device 30A is brought into contact with or close to (held over) the wireless transmitter of the locker.

The accepting means 44 accepts the designation of the locker 10 ′ to be used from the server 80A when the locker 10 ′ is designated on the manager side. The case where the locker 10 'is designated from the administrator side means that, for example, the locker 10' having a specific height is frequently used, and the locker 10 'having a different height is not frequently used. When there is a difference in the consumption of the batteries used in the case, the locker 10 'to be used by the user 20 is designated so that the reduction of the batteries can be made uniform. The designation of the locker 10 'is received by receiving the identification number and the location of the locker 10' from the server 80A. In addition, when a specific locker is out of order, the location, number (such as any of 10A to 10D) and date / time of another available locker may be designated. In this case, it also serves as a substantial time and place reservation. Furthermore, in the case of a space-variable locker (such as a rocker whose partitioning position is variable) 10 ′, it may be designated where it is.

The reservation means 46 makes a reservation for the locker 10 'that the user 20 wants to use. For example, the user wants to use the locker at the station and the desired date and time are input by the input unit of the user terminal device 30A, and the input content is transmitted to the server 80A. On the server 80A side, candidates for lockers that can be used (available) at the station at the desired date and time are extracted, and the candidates are displayed on the display unit by transmitting the candidates to the user terminal device 30A. The user 20 can make a reservation for the locker 10 ′ by selecting a locker from the displayed candidates using the input means. Alternatively, the designation of the locker 10 ′ to be used may be received from the server 80 </ b> A that has received the reservation request from the user 20. For example, a designation that the locker 10 'of “April 16th 13:00 to April 16th 21:00, 00 station, C-1” is to be used is transmitted from the server 80A, and the contents are transmitted to the user terminal. It may be displayed on the display unit of the device 30 </ b> A and confirmed by the user 20 to accept the designation of the locker 10 ′ and make a reservation. Further, the reservation means 46 may accept designation of an available locker according to the size of the luggage to be stored in the locker 10 '. For example, the size of the package is input by the input unit of the user terminal device 30A, the content is transmitted to the server 80A, and the server 80A selects a locker in which the package of that size is stored, and the locker identification number (serial number) ) For example, the location of the locker 10 ′ that can be reserved is transmitted to the user terminal device 30 </ b> A, such as “C-5” at station #OO. The reservation means 46 of the user terminal device 30A receives the locker identification number, receives the designation of the locker 10 ', and completes the reservation.

Next, the recipient terminal device 60A includes a communication unit 62, a package storage notification receiving unit 64, and an identification key obtaining unit 72. These means are realized by, for example, an application for a recipient terminal, and are controlled by a control means such as a CPU. Or you may implement | achieve by accessing the service for recipients on a cloud. In addition, the recipient terminal device 60A includes a wireless reception unit that receives the identification code 18. The communication means 62 and the package storage notification reception 64 are the same as those in the first embodiment.

The identification key acquisition means 72 acquires an identification key corresponding to the identification code 18 assigned to the predetermined locker 10 'from the server 80A. The timing for obtaining the identification key is, for example, when the wireless receiving unit of the recipient terminal device 60A is brought into contact with the wireless transmitting unit of the locker 10 ', or when it is brought close (over).

Next, the server 80A includes a communication unit 82, an identification key providing unit 92, a management unit 88, and a storage unit 90. These means are realized by, for example, an application for a management server, and are controlled by a control means such as a CPU. About the communication means 82 and the memory | storage means 90, it is the same as that of Example 1 mentioned above. In addition to the processing of the first embodiment described above, the management unit 88 transmits an instruction to the user terminal device 30A to use the predetermined locker 10 ', or responds to a reservation request from the user terminal device 30A. A locker candidate that can be used is transmitted, or a locker 10 'corresponding to the size of the package is selected, and the identification number of the locker 10' is transmitted to the user terminal device 30A.

The identification key providing means 92 transmits an identification key corresponding to the locker 10 'to the user terminal device 30A and the recipient terminal device 60A based on the identification code 18. For example, when the wireless reception unit of the user terminal device 30A or the recipient terminal device 60A is brought into contact with the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10 ', or when the identification key is provided (closed) It is.

<Processing Procedure>... Next, the processing procedure from storage to receipt will be described with reference to FIG. First, the user 20 who wants to store the luggage goes in front of the locker 10 'and activates the application on the user terminal device 30A (step S200 in FIG. 13). Then, the door is opened by bringing the wireless receiver of the user terminal device 30A into contact with or close to the wireless transmitter of any locker 10 ′ (any of the lockers 10A to 10D) (step S202 in FIG. 13). In addition, the identification key acquisition unit 42 transmits the identification code 18 of the locker 10 'to the server 80A via the communication unit 32. The user 20 stores the luggage in the locker 10 ′ with the door open (step S204 in FIG. 13).

On the other hand, when the server 80A obtains the identification code 18 via the communication means 82, the identification key providing means 92 refers to the locker database stored in the storage means 90, and the locker 10 'associated with the identification code 18 is referred to. Is transmitted to the user terminal device 30A via the communication means 82 (step S208 in FIG. 13).

The user terminal device 30A acquires the identification key when the identification key acquisition unit 42 receives the identification key transmitted from the server 80A via the communication unit 32 (step S208 in FIG. 13 and step S150 in FIG. 15). ). Based on the acquired identification key, the user 20 locks the locker 10 'storing the luggage (Step S210 in FIG. 13 and Step S154 in FIG. 15).

When the locker 10 'is locked, a detection signal indicating that the locker 10' is locked is transmitted from the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10 'to the wireless reception unit of the user terminal device 30A, and further, the signal is transmitted from the user terminal device 30A. It is transmitted to the server 80A via the network. When the server 80A receives the detection signal indicating that the locker 10 'is locked, the server 80A notifies the recipient terminal device 60A that the package has been stored. This notification is executed by the management means 88 and notifies the location of the locker 10 in addition to the storage of the luggage (step 212 in FIG. 13 and step S156 in FIG. 15).

In the recipient terminal device 60A, the package storage notification receiving unit 64 notifies the fact that the package has been stored via the communication unit 62, and the location of the locker 10 'in which the package is stored (location of the locker 10'). (When the locker 10 'has a plurality of lockers, a locker number indicating which locker is used) is received.

The recipient 50 who has received the notification goes to a predetermined locker 10 'and brings the wireless reception unit of the recipient terminal device 60A into contact with or close to the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10' (FIG. 13). In step S216), the identification key acquisition unit 72 transmits the identification code 18 of the locker 10 'to the server 80A via the communication unit 62. The server 80A obtains the identification code 18 via the communication means 82, and the identification key providing means 92 refers to the locker database stored in the storage means 90 to identify the locker 10 'associated with the identification code 18. The key is acquired and transmitted to the recipient terminal device 60A via the communication means 82 (step S218 in FIG. 13).

Receiving terminal device 60A receives the identification key via communication means 62 to obtain the identification key (step S218 in FIG. 13 and step S158 in FIG. 15). The identification key at this time may be the same as that used when the user 20 stores and locks the luggage, or may be a different identification key. In addition, when the recipient 50 himself / herself notified that the package is stored cannot take the package for convenience, there is a member who is registered in advance as a recipient group and the recipient 50 himself / herself. However, when the member permits the receipt of the package, the server 80A transmits the notification that the package is stored and the location of the locker to the member. When the member goes to the locker 10 'and the wireless reception unit of the terminal of the member is brought into contact with or close to the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10', the identification key can be acquired. Based on the acquired identification key, the recipient 50 (or a substitute member) unlocks the locker 10 '(step S160 in FIG. 15) and receives the stored package (step S220 in FIG. 13).

When the locker 10 'is unlocked, a detection signal indicating that the locker 10' has been unlocked is transmitted from the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10 'to the wireless reception unit of the recipient terminal device 60A, and the detection signal is further transmitted to the recipient terminal device 60A. To the server 80A via the network. When the server 80A receives the detection signal indicating that the locker 10 'has been unlocked, the server 80A notifies the user terminal device 30A that the package has been received. This notification is executed by the management means 88 (step S224 in FIG. 13).

In the use of the locker 10 ′ as described above, in this embodiment, it is possible to accept the designation of the locker 10 ′ from the administrator side and reserve the locker 10 ′ from the user 20. The accepting means 44 of the user terminal device 30A accepts the designation of the locker 10 ′ to be used from the server 80A when the locker to be used is designated on the manager side of the locker 10 ′. A case where a locker is designated by the administrator is, for example, a locker 10 'having a specific height is frequently used, and lockers of other heights are not frequently used, and are used for short-range wireless communication. This is a case where a locker is designated so that the battery can be evenly reduced when there is a difference in battery consumption. The designation of the locker 10 'is received by receiving the identification number and the location of the locker 10' from the server 80A. In addition, when a specific locker is out of order, the location, number (such as any of 10A to 10D) and date / time of another available locker may be designated. In this case, it also serves as a substantial time and place reservation. Further, in the case of a space-variable locker (such as a rocker whose partitioning position is variable) 10 ', the location is specified.

In addition, the reservation means 46 of the user terminal device 30A reserves the locker 10 ′ by the user 20. For example, the user wants to use the locker at the station and the desired date and time are input by the input unit of the user terminal device 30A and the input content is transmitted to the server 80A. The locker candidates that can be used (available) are extracted, and the candidates are transmitted to the user terminal device 30A and displayed on the display unit. The user 20 can make a reservation for the locker 10 ′ by selecting a locker from the displayed candidates using the input means. Or you may make it receive designation | designated of locker 10 'to be used from server 80A which received the hope of the reservation from the user 20. FIG. For example, a designation that the locker 10 'of “April 16th 13:00 to April 16th 21:00, 00 station, C-1” is to be used is transmitted from the server 80A, and the contents are transmitted to the user terminal. It may be displayed on the display unit of the device 30 </ b> A and confirmed by the user 20 to accept the designation of the locker 10 ′ and make a reservation. Further, the reservation means 46 may accept designation of an available locker according to the size of the luggage to be stored in the locker 10 '. For example, the size of the package is input by the input unit of the user terminal device 30A, the content is transmitted to the server 80A, and the server 80A selects a locker in which the package of that size is stored, and the locker identification number (serial number) For example, the location of the locker 10 ′ that can be reserved is designated and transmitted to the user terminal device 30 </ b> A, such as “C-5” number at station #OO. The reservation means 46 of the user terminal device 30A receives the locker identification number, receives the designation of the locker 10 ', and completes the reservation.

As described above, according to the third embodiment, the user 20 opens or closes the locker 10 ′ by storing the luggage by bringing the wireless reception unit of the user terminal device 30 </ b> A into contact with or close to the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10 ′. Then, an identification key corresponding to the identification code 18 assigned to the locker 10 ′ is acquired from the server 80A, and the locker 10 ′ is locked using the identification key. Then, the recipient 50 of the baggage actually reaches the locked locker 10 'and brings the wireless reception unit of the recipient terminal device 60A into contact with or close to the wireless transmission unit of the locker 10', whereby the identification code 18 Is obtained from the server 80A, the locker 10 'is unlocked using the obtained identification key, and the package is taken out.

Accordingly, an authentication key for locking / unlocking is sent from the server 80A each time and can be locked / unlocked without entering a password or the like. There is no such thing as being unable to lock. In addition, since the user 20 and the recipient 50 can lock and unlock without being aware of the identification key, the convenience is high. In addition, the door of the locker 10 ′ that is not in use is closed because there is no door unless the wireless receiver of the user terminal device 30A or the receiver terminal device 60A is brought into contact with or close to the wireless transmitter of the locker 10 ′. The locker 10 'is not used without permission.

Further, when the locker 10 'is locked, a detection signal indicating that the lock has been performed is transmitted to the user terminal device 30A, so that the user terminal device 30A can confirm that the lock has been made. it can. In addition, since the user 20 can make a reservation for the locker 10 ′ and accept the designation of the locker 10 ′ for the convenience of the administrator, it is highly convenient. In the present embodiment, the user 20 and the recipient 50 are separated from each other, but the recipient 50 may be 20 users who store packages. In addition, when the recipient 50 itself is not convenient, among the members registered in advance as the recipient group, the recipient 50 exists near the locker 10 'and the recipient 50 himself / herself allows the member to receive the package. Thus, since the member can receive the package instead of the recipient 50, the identification key (digital encryption key) can be safely passed to an acquaintance.

In addition, this invention is not limited to the Example mentioned above, A various change can be added in the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the following are also included.
(1) The baggage shown in the first embodiment can be stored in the locker 10 such as exchange of baggage between individuals, delivery of private key, delivery of goods during sharing such as cars and bicycles, etc. There is no particular limitation.
(2) In Example 2, the route man decided to collect the bag 270 stored in the locker 10 and deliver the bag 270 storing the laundry after the cleaning was completed. This does not prevent the factory 230 itself from collecting and delivering.

(3) The system configuration shown in the second embodiment is also an example, and notifications other than the exchange of the barcode 14 and the personal identification number, such as notification of cleaning status and notification of approval between the user terminal 210 and the factory terminal 240 May be performed via the server 80 or directly.
(4) In the second embodiment, a video is taken from the start of inspection, but this video may be pasted on the screen as video data when an approval request is made to the user 20, or A link may be affixed to the screen.
(5) The display screen shown in the second embodiment is also an example, and may be changed as appropriate within the range where the same effect can be obtained.
(6) The short-range wireless communication between the user terminal device 30A and the recipient terminal device 60A and the locker 10 ′ shown in the third embodiment is an example, and a short-range wireless communication technique other than NFC may be used.

In this specification, a bar code is a generic term that can be used to read data that cannot be read by the human eye by reading it with a reader, and can be used as a one-dimensional bar code or a two-dimensional bar code such as a QR code. Good.
