Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a delivery system for delivering a credit card created by, for example, a credit company to a user.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, when a user makes a credit card use contract with a credit company, the credit company creates a credit card dedicated to the user and mails the card to the user at a later date. However, the credit company registers the credit card number in the computer and finishes the setting such as the limit of use and then sends the credit card to the user. As described above, the credit card is transmitted after finishing all the settings, so that the credit card can be used as soon as it reaches the user.
[0003]
Since this credit card has the property that it can be used in the same way as cash, it must be reliably delivered to the user from the credit company. Therefore, the credit card was mailed by registered mail in which the believer, the recipient, the reception date, the delivery route, etc. were recorded, and was surely delivered to the person. Since the applicant of the present invention has developed the invention based on the publicly known and publicly used technology without conducting a prior art search, there is no prior art document information to be described.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
Since the credit card was mailed by registered mail, the credit company had to pay a registered fee to the post office, which is a mailing agency. Since registered mail charges are higher than normal mailing charges, there was a problem that the credit company would increase costs accordingly.
[0005]
In addition, all settings and registrations are completed at the shipping stage so that the credit card can be used as soon as it reaches the user. In other words, it is already ready for use at the shipping stage. Therefore, if the credit card is in the hands of a third party other than the user during delivery, the credit card may be misused by the third party. Moreover, since the user does not know that the credit card has been transferred to a third party, even if the credit card is abused, the fact is slow to notice and there is a possibility that the damage will be expanded.
[0006]
An object of the present invention is to provide a delivery system that can reduce the delivery cost of a credit card and that can be used with peace of mind by a user.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In the embodiment of the present invention, a system will be described in which a user makes a contract for using a credit card at a credit company, and then a credit card created by the credit company is delivered to the user via a post office. The delivery company of this invention corresponds to the post office, and the sender corresponds to the credit company .
[0010]
1 to 3 show an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1 , a post office computer 1 that is a delivery company computer, a credit company computer 2 that is a sender computer, and terminals 3, 3, and 3 such as mobile phones can be connected via a communication means 4. I have to. The post office computer 1 includes a processing unit 5 and a storage unit 6, and the credit company computer 2 includes a processing unit 7 and a storage unit 8.
Further, code readers 9a, 9b and 9c for reading bar codes are connected to the terminals 3, 3 and 3, respectively, and code information read by the code readers 9a to 9c is connected to each computer via the communication means 4. 1 and 2 can be transmitted.
[0011]
The code reader 9a is for a post office that receives and delivers a delivery , the code reader 9b is for a credit company as a sender , and the code reader 9c is for a delivery person carried by a post office delivery person. The code readers 9a to 9c are assigned different IDs.
When code information is transmitted from the code readers 9a to 9c to the computers 1 and 2, the ID assigned to each code reader is also transmitted to the computers 1 and 2 together. In the computers 1 and 2 to which the code information is transmitted, the sender can be specified by the IDs of the code readers 9a to 9c.
[0012]
The post office uses a bar code on which code information is written as a sticker and sells it to a credit company. The credit company affixes the bar code sticker to an envelope for sending a credit card. Thus, this bar code seal will also function as a current postage stamp. However, the code information of the barcode to be sold is stored in advance in the storage unit 5 of the post office computer 1.
As is clear from the above, when the credit company tries to mail the credit card to the user, the credit company purchases the barcode sticker from the post office. Further, the post office that sold the bar code reads the sold bar code with the code reader 9b for the post office, and transmits this code information to the computer 1 of the post office.
[0013]
The processing unit 5 of the post office to which the code information is transmitted moves this code information to the table T1 shown in FIG. This table T1 is stored in the storage unit 6, and is used to confirm what route the delivery has taken. That is, in this table T1, code information, a sender ID, a post office ID of a post office undertaking delivery, and a delivery person ID of a delivery person are stored in association with each other.
In this way, it is possible to identify the code information of the delivery item from the barcode attached to the delivery item, and to identify the post office or delivery person handling the delivery item by the ID of each reader. You can check what route you followed.
[0014]
As described above, when the post office sells a bar code sticker to a credit company, the code information of the bar code sticker sold is transferred to the table T1. This is so that it can be seen that the code seal has already been sold.
[0015]
The credit company that purchased the bar code sticker from the post office puts the bar code sticker on the envelope. Also, in the envelope cover, the user's address and name are entered, and the credit card to be mailed is enclosed in the envelope. However, this credit card cannot be used as it is. In other words, the credit card can be used on condition that the credit card has arrived at the user's hand. However, the procedure for confirming whether or not the user has arrived will be described later.
[0016]
On the credit company side, when a bar code sticker is attached to the envelope, the bar code sticker is read by the code reader 9b for the credit company, and the read code information is sent to the post office computer 1 and the credit company computer 2. Send.
3 is stored in the storage unit 8 of the computer 2 of the credit company to which the code information is transmitted.
[0017]
In the table T2 stored in the storage unit 8, as shown in FIG. 3, the code information of the bar code seal, the credit card number, and the delivery person ID of the delivery person are stored in association with each other.
When the bar code seal code information is input, the processing unit 7 of the credit company computer 2 calls the table T2 and inputs the transmitted code information.
[0018]
Further, the credit company side inputs the enclosed credit card number into the computer 2. The credit card number may be input using the terminal 3 or may be input by reading the barcode of the credit card with the code reader 9b. Further, instead of directly inputting a credit card number, a ledger number or the like attached to each credit card may be input.
In any case, when a number specifying the credit card is input, the processing unit 7 adds the card number to the table T2 of the storage unit 8 and stores it in association with the code information.
[0019]
In addition, when the credit company to ship a credit card, but Ru door read the bar code in the code reader 9b of the sender, code information of the bar code is to be sent to a computer 1 of the post office. At the same time, the sender ID set in the code reader 9b is also transmitted to the computer 1 at the post office.
The storage unit 5 of the computer 1 of the post office to which the code information and the sender ID are transmitted additionally stores the sender ID of the credit company in the sender ID column of the table T1 shown in FIG.
Therefore, at the post office, it is possible to know who is the sender who sends the delivery using the bar code by the sender ID.
[0020]
Next, the sender credit company encloses the credit card and takes the envelope with the barcode sticker to the post office. At the post office, the bar code sticker affixed to the envelope is read by the post office code reader 9a. Then, this code information is transmitted to the computer 1 of this post office. At this time, the post office ID which is the delivery company ID of the present invention attached to the post office code reader 9 a is also transmitted to the computer 1 simultaneously with the code information.
When the code information is transmitted, the processing unit 5 of the post office computer 1 stores the post office ID set in the post office code reader 9a in the post office ID column of the code information. That is, it is stored in the storage unit 6 as a post office that has accepted the mailing of the envelope.
[0021]
The post office that has received the envelope delivers the envelope to the user through a delivery member. When the delivery person hands over the envelope to the user, the delivery person reads the bar code sticker attached to the envelope with the code reader 9c for the delivery person. When the bar code seal is read, this code information and the delivery person ID set in the code reader 9c are transmitted to the computer 1 of the post office.
In the post office computer 1 to which the code information and the delivery person ID are transmitted, the processing unit 5 determines whether the delivery person is a post office staff from the transmitted delivery person ID.
That is, in the computer 1 of the post office, information such as the name of the delivery person and the delivery person ID are stored in association with each other, and the delivery person is authenticated when the delivery person ID is transmitted. .
[0022]
When the delivery person is authenticated as described above, the processing unit 5 adds the delivery person ID to the delivery person ID field corresponding to the code information in the table T1 stored in the storage unit 6. , Remember this. By storing the delivery person ID in this way, all the columns of the code information, sender ID, post office ID, and delivery person ID in the table T1 are filled. When all the columns of the table T1 are filled in this way, the processing unit 5 transmits the code information and the delivery person ID to the credit company computer 2.
In the credit company computer 2 to which the code information and the delivery person ID are transmitted, the delivery person is entered in the column of the delivery person ID corresponding to the code information in the table T2 stored in the storage part 8 by the processing part 7. ID is added and stored.
[0023]
By storing the delivery person ID in the table T1 and the table T2 as described above, it is possible to confirm by whom the delivery has been delivered. In addition, since the delivery person is authenticated by the computer 1 of the post office, the delivery person can be identified with certainty.
Also, by specifying the post office that has accepted the delivery and the delivery member, if the delivery is not delivered, the responsibility can be clarified. In addition, since the route of the delivery item can be clarified by the table T1, even if the delivery item is lost, the follow-up survey is possible.
[0024]
On the other hand, in the computer 2 of the credit company, all information of the code information, the credit card number, and the delivery person ID is input by adding the delivery person ID. The fact that the delivery person ID is input means that the envelope containing the credit card has arrived at the user's hand. Here, when the delivery person ID is input, the processing unit 7 of the computer 2 of the credit company determines that the credit card has been delivered to the user, and makes the credit card usable.
[0025]
In other words, in a state where the delivery person ID is not entered in the table T2, the credit card is set to be unusable, and is set to be usable only after the delivery person ID is entered.
Accordingly, even if the credit card is delivered to a third party other than the user in the middle of delivery, it cannot be used unless the information on the delivery person ID is entered in the table T2. Since the use of a third party can be prevented, damage to the user can be prevented.
[0026]
As described above, according to this embodiment, it is possible to make a usable state only when the credit card reaches the user. Therefore, it has no property value until it reaches the user, and can be delivered by ordinary mail. In other words, it does not need to be sent by a special method such as registered mail as in the past.
Since it is not necessary to send by registered mail, the credit company as the sender can reduce the cost accordingly.
In addition, since misuse by a third party during delivery can be prevented, the user can use it with peace of mind.
[0027]
In this embodiment, a credit card has been described as an example. However, it is also possible to attach code information to securities, stock certificates, etc. and make them valid when they reach the user.
Although the barcode information is used as the code information, anything other than the barcode may be used as long as it can be read optically. For example, an IC chip or the like can be used.
Furthermore, although the code sticker in which the code information is described is attached to the envelope, the code information may be attached directly to a credit card contained in the envelope. In this case, when the credit card is sealed, a window is opened at the envelope position corresponding to the code seal so that the code information can be read from the window. In this embodiment, a code sticker on which code information is written is attached to the envelope. However, the code information may be directly printed on the envelope. When the code information is attached to the credit card, the code information may be directly printed on the credit card.
[0028]
Furthermore, in this embodiment, the case where the post office delivers a delivery item has been described as an example. However, the code information and each ID are stored in association with each other, and a computer that can identify the sender from this ID is provided. Of course, it is not necessary to be a post office. Other than the post office, for example, a shipping company can be considered.
[0029]
【The invention's effect】
According to this invention, the storage is sender computer table T2, so that the delivery member ID transmitted by the delivery person is input in association with the code information when the delivery deliveries have been completed. The processing unit can recognize that the delivery item has been delivered to the destination when the delivery person ID is input to the table T2 . When we recognize in this way that the deliveries have been delivered, if enabling the above-mentioned credit card and securities, before the above-mentioned deliveryman ID is input, as securities and credit card in the mail There is no need to send this delivery by registered mail. Therefore, the sender can reduce the cost accordingly.
Further, even if this delivery item is delivered to a third party other than the delivery destination in the middle of delivery, it cannot be used as long as the delivery person ID information is not entered in the table T2. Therefore, the use of a third party can be prevented, and damage to the delivery destination can be prevented.
[0030]
In addition, in the table T1 stored in the sender computer , the sender ID transmitted from the sender computer , the delivery company ID of the delivery company that accepted the delivery, and the delivery person sent by the delivery person when the delivery of the delivery is completed. Since the ID is stored, the delivery route of the mail can be grasped. Therefore, this responsibility can be clarified if lost in delivery. Furthermore, it is effective for identifying the lost place.
