  However, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-325660 uses a mobile phone number or a personal identification number as ID information at the time of unlocking, but in any case, the telephone number of the mobile phone can be confirmed on the control panel. Without it, it cannot be unlocked. Also, the one disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-90156 is designed to authenticate a user ID and a user password such as a mobile phone telephone number and a device serial number and unlock the locker. If the user ID is not received, it cannot be unlocked.

  By the way, there are cases where a person who deposits the luggage in the rental locker cannot take out the luggage due to an unexpected situation. In such a case, it is only necessary to entrust the removal of the package to another person, but in the conventional method, it is only possible to unlock the phone number of each mobile phone, so you must give your mobile phone to that person. In particular, it is difficult to outsource to a remote person. In addition, it is difficult to use a locker to deliver the luggage to another person.

  It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly convenient rental locker system by using a portable terminal device such as a cellular phone so that another person can easily take out a package with the intention of the user using the rental locker. Let it be an issue.

The lending locker system according to claim 1 is a lending locker system that enables use of a locker box by a control means for controlling locking / unlocking of the locker box and a portable terminal device, wherein the control means is connected to the portable terminal device. The set ID code is read, and an unlock code unique to the locker box to be used is set in the portable terminal device, and the box ID, the unlock code, and the ID code of the locker box are stored in association with each other. The mobile terminal device transmits the ID code of the mobile terminal device and the unlock code to the control means, confirms the ID code received by the control means, and based on the unlock code, the unlock code unlocking the rocker box of the corresponding box ID to the portable terminal device, unlocking code set in the portable terminal device It has a function of adding a transfer flag and transmitting to another mobile terminal device, and the control means adds the transfer flag to the ID code and the unlock code received from the other mobile terminal device. In the case, the received ID code is ignored and the locker box having the box ID corresponding to the unlock code is unlocked .

A loan locker system according to a second aspect is the loan locker system according to the first aspect , wherein the mobile terminal device is a mobile phone.

  According to the rental locker system of claim 1, the unlocking code for unlocking the locker box is set by the control means and is not an ID code unique to a portable terminal device such as a cellular phone. The unlock code can be transmitted and received between the mobile terminal devices. In addition, when the control means confirms the unlocking code during unlocking control, it is also easy to determine whether the unlocking code has been transmitted / received and to determine whether or not the unlocking is allowed. Become. Therefore, when the user transmits the unlocking code to another person, it becomes possible for another person to easily take out the package according to the intention of the user, and the convenience is improved.

In addition, when the transfer flag is not added to the unlocking code , the control means confirms the ID code, unlocks the locker box with the unlocking code, and receives the ID code and the unlocking code received from another portable terminal device. When the transfer flag is added, the lock code is unlocked by ignoring the ID code and the lock code is normally unlocked by checking the ID code.

According to the rental locker system of the second aspect, the same effect as in the first aspect can be obtained, and when a mobile phone is used as the mobile terminal means, the locker box can be used in a mobile phone that has been widely spread in recent years. Easy to use.

When a coin is inserted from the coin insertion slot 16a or a banknote is inserted from the banknote insertion slot 15a, the lock device 21 is locked, and the unlock number is transmitted to the mobile phone T. Further, when the lock is made, the status display LED 25 turns red and a receipt is issued. At this time, if there is an amount of change (amount of change), a selection screen for paying change to cash or charging to the mobile phone T is displayed. If cash is selected, change is received from the coin return port 16b. If the payout is selected and the charge is selected, the mobile phone T is charged with an amount equivalent to change.

  When performing the unlocking operation, “Eject” is selected on the initial screen of the operation display unit 12a, and “Mobile phone” is selected on the next screen. When the mobile phone T is communicated over the infrared receiver 14a, various information such as the user ID, charge data, unlock number, and telephone number is read by the centralized control device 1 in the same manner as described above. If the locking device 21 is unlocked, the status display LED 25 blinks red. When an additional fee has been generated, after the user ID is read, a display for guiding the additional fee payment is displayed on the operation display unit 12a. When an additional fee is charged, a receipt and a receipt are issued, the lock device 21 is unlocked, and the status display LED 25 blinks red. After that, when the luggage is taken out and the locker door 2a is closed in the same manner as described above, the status display LED 25 turns green. Even when an additional fee is charged and there is an amount of fishing, the change can be paid out or selected in the same manner as described above.

  Third mode: The user selects “deposit”, presses the load and lock switch 23, and selects “IC card”. Thus, when the user holds the non-contact IC card C over the antenna unit 13a of the central control device 1, the ID code of the non-contact IC card C is read on the central control device 1 side, and the operation display unit 12a displays the usage fee. A display for guiding the user to enter the usage fee is performed. When the charge is inserted from the coin insertion slot 16a or the bill insertion slot 15a, the lock device 21 is locked, the status display LED 25 turns red, and a receipt and a receipt are issued.

  When performing the unlocking operation, “Eject” and “IC card” are selected on the operation display unit 12a. When the non-contact IC card C is held over the antenna unit 13a, the ID code is read in the same manner as described above, the lock device 21 is unlocked within a predetermined usage time, and the status display LED 25 blinks red. . Then, when the locker door 2a is opened, the package is taken out, and the locker door 2a is closed, the status display LED 25 changes to green lighting and an empty state is displayed. In the case where an additional fee has been generated due to an excess of time, after the ID code is read, a display for guiding the additional fee is displayed on the operation display unit 12a. When an additional fee is inserted from the coin insertion slot 16a or the banknote insertion slot 15a, a receipt and a receipt are issued, the lock device 21 is unlocked, and the status display LED 25 blinks red. After that, when the luggage is taken out and the locker door 2a is closed in the same manner as described above, the status display LED 25 changes to green.

  In each mode, the locker box 2 to be locked / unlocked includes a personal identification number (first mode), an unlock number corresponding to the user ID of the mobile phone T (second mode), and a non-contact IC card C. The ID code (third mode) is associated with each other, and at the time of unlocking operation, the central control device 1 confirms the code number, the unlock number, and the ID code, and the authenticated code is confirmed. The target locker box 2 corresponding to the number, the unlock number, or the ID code is identified and unlocked.

  FIG. 4 is a diagram conceptually illustrating an example of operations and operations when the cellular phone T uses the rental locker system according to the embodiment. In FIG. 4, the mobile phone (A) and the other mobile phone (B) are both the same as the mobile phone T, but in this description, the symbol “T” is omitted as appropriate.

  The cellular phones (A) and (B) can be connected to a network such as the Internet via the wireless public packet line 100, and connect to the server 20 to transmit a user name, a user mail address, and the like. And a locker utilization application is downloaded from the server 20 as mentioned above. At this time, a unique user ID is set for the cellular phone (A) for the cellular phone (A) (and its user). The mobile phone (B) is set with a unique user ID for the mobile phone (B) (and its user).

  Now, assuming that the cellular phone (A) deposits a package, the cellular phone (A) transmits a user ID and charge data to the central control device 1, and the central control device 1 reads the user ID and charge data. . When the baggage is deposited as described above, the centralized control device 1 deducts the usage fee or charges data after additional processing that charges the change, the unlock number corresponding to the locker box in which the baggage is deposited, and its The box number (NO.) Is transmitted to the mobile phone (A). In the mobile phone (A), the charge data is updated and the unlock number and the box number are stored. Note that the exchange of these data is processed as encrypted data to ensure security.

  Next, when the user of the mobile phone (A) entrusts the user of the mobile phone (B) to take out the package, the unlock number and the box are sent from the mobile phone (A) to the mobile phone (B) by e-mail. Send number information. At this time, a mail transfer flag (corresponding to a “transfer flag” in claim 3) is added to the unlock number by the function of the locker using application of the mobile phone (A). This mail transfer flag indicates that the unlock number has been transferred by e-mail, and the user of the unlock number transfer destination (in this example, the mobile phone (A)) takes out the package. It also shows that it was entrusted (permitted).

  And at the time of taking out, the user of a mobile telephone (B) communicates with the centralized control apparatus 1 by a mobile telephone (B). The mobile phone (B) transmits the user ID, charge data, unlock number, mail transfer flag, and box number of the mobile phone (B). The centralized control device 1 reads these data and performs unlocking control. First, it is determined whether or not the stored user ID corresponding to the read locker number (A's user ID) matches the read user ID. If they match, the mobile phone (A) is about to unlock, and the locker box corresponding to the locker number is unlocked by the unlock number. On the other hand, if the user IDs do not match, it is determined whether or not a mail transfer flag is added to the unlock number. If a mail transfer flag is added, the user ID is stored and the collation result of the user ID is displayed. Ignore and unlock the locker box with the corresponding locker number by the unlock number. Here, the reason why the user ID is stored is to make the deposited user confirm that another user has unlocked. As a result, the locker box can be unlocked even when the unlocking operation is performed with the mobile phone (B) and the user ID does not match the user ID stored in the centralized control device 1.

  In addition, by setting the network connection address for accessing the server 20 in the centralized control device 1, the user can acquire the address immediately before using the locker and access the server 20. In this case, a screen display such as “address acquisition” is displayed on the initial screen of the operation display unit 12a of the centralized control device 1, and the user saves the trouble of inputting an address by selecting “address acquisition”. Can do.

  FIG. 5 is a main part flowchart of the control program depositing process in the computer 10 of the centralized control apparatus 1, and FIG. 6 is a main part flowchart of the control program taking out process. The operation will be described with reference to the flowchart. The process of FIG. 5 is a subroutine started when “deposit” is selected in the main process (not shown), and the process of FIG. 6 is a subroutine started when “takeout” is selected in the main process. Note that these flowcharts mainly show processing in the second mode (mobile phone).

  In the depositing process of FIG. 5, it is monitored in step S1 and step S2 that the locking switch 23 is turned on, and when a predetermined time has passed without being turned on, the process returns from step S2 to the main routine. When the locking switch 23 is turned on, the locking device 21 is temporarily locked in step S3, and in step S4, it is determined which mode of the first to third modes is selected in the operation display unit 12a. If the first mode is selected, the personal identification number processing (first mode processing) is performed in step S5. If the second mode is selected, the usage fee is displayed in step S6 and the process proceeds to step S8. If the third mode is selected, IC card processing (third mode processing) is performed in step S7.

  Note that in the processing of the personal identification number in step S5, the usage fee is displayed, whether or not the usage fee has been entered, if it is entered, the lock device 21 is locked, the status display LED 25 is turned on, and the receipt and receipt printed with the personal identification number. Issuance process. Further, in the processing of the IC card in step S7, reading the ID code from the non-contact IC card C, displaying the usage fee, determining whether or not the usage fee has been input, locking the locking device 21, locking the status display LED 25, as described above. Processing such as lighting, receipt and receipt issuance.

Confirm. Next, in step S9, it is determined whether or not the amount of charge data (charge amount) is equal to or greater than the usage fee. If the charge amount is equal to or higher than the usage fee, the charge amount is displayed in step S10, and a display for confirming whether to pay with charged electronic cash (payment with charge) is performed. If there is no charge payment instruction in step S11, the lock device 21 is unlocked in step S12 and returned (cancelled) to the main routine. If there is a charge payment instruction in step S11, step S13. Then, infrared communication with the mobile phone T is performed, the usage fee is deducted from the charge data (the charge data of the mobile phone T is rewritten), and the process proceeds to step S14. In step S14, the lock device 21 is fully locked, an unlock number is generated for the locker box, and the unlock number and the locker box box number are registered in association with the read user ID. (Remember. Then, the process returns to the main routine.

  If the charge amount is not equal to or higher than the usage fee in step S9, a deficient amount with respect to the usage fee and a display requesting input of the fee are displayed in step S15, and a timer is started in step S16. In step S17 and step S18, it is monitored whether a fee is charged. When a predetermined time has passed without charging, the flow returns from step S18 to the main routine. If a charge greater than the shortage amount is charged within a predetermined time, it is determined in step S19 whether there is change (change has occurred). If there is no change (if it is just the shortage amount), in step S20. Determine if there is a payment instruction. If there is no payment instruction, the process returns to the main routine, and if there is a payment instruction, the lock device 21 is fully locked in step S14, the unlock number, the user ID, and the locker number are registered, and the process returns to the main routine.

  If there is a change in step S19, a display for selecting a change process (change process selection display) is performed in step S21, and a selection process for selecting a charge process or a cash process (a selection acceptance process by the user) )do. In step S22 and step S23, it is determined which one of the charge process and the cash process is selected. If neither is selected, the process returns to the main routine. If the charging process is selected, infrared communication with the mobile phone T is performed in step S24, the change is charged to the mobile phone T (the charge data of the mobile phone T is rewritten), and the lock device 21 is locked in step S14. And return to the main routine. If cash processing is selected, the charge data of the mobile phone T is rewritten to zero in step S25 and the change is paid out. In step S14, the lock device 21 is fully locked and the process returns to the main routine. Thereby, change can be received in cash and the amount of charge can be settled to zero. Moreover, it is also possible to charge without having cash change by the charge process.

  In the extraction process of FIG. 6, in step S31, it is determined which of the first to third modes is selected on the operation display unit 12a. If the first mode is selected, the personal identification number processing (first mode processing) is performed in step S32, and if the second mode is selected, the process proceeds to step S34. If the third mode is selected, IC card processing (third mode processing) is performed in step S33.

  In the password processing in step S32, the locker number and password input screen is displayed, the locker number and password are entered and confirmed, and the password is confirmed to correspond to the entered locker number. Then, processing such as unlocking of the lock device 21 and lighting of the status display LED 25 is performed. In the processing of the IC card in step S33, the ID code is read from the non-contact IC card C, the ID code is confirmed, the lock device 21 of the locker corresponding to the ID code is unlocked, and the status display LED 25 is turned on. Process.

  When the second mode is selected, infrared communication with the mobile phone T is performed in step S34, and various information such as the user ID, unlock number, locker number, charge data, and phone number of the mobile phone T is read. Next, in step S35, it is determined whether the user ID stored corresponding to the read locker number matches the read user ID. If they match, the process proceeds to step S38, and if they do not match, it is determined whether or not a mail transfer flag is added to the unlock number read in step S36. Then, if the mail transfer flag is not added, the process returns to the main routine as it is, and if the mail transfer flag is added, the reading is performed in step S37 so that another user can later confirm that the lock has been unlocked. The saved user ID is stored, and the process proceeds to step S38.

  In step S38, it is determined whether or not an excess charge has occurred. If no excess charge has occurred, the locker 21 of the locker corresponding to the ID code is unlocked in step S39 and the process returns to the main routine. If an excess charge has occurred, it is determined in step S40 whether or not the charge amount is greater than or equal to the excess charge. If the charge amount is equal to or greater than the excess fee, the charge amount is displayed in step S41 and a display for confirming the payment by charge is performed. If there is no charge payment instruction in step S42, the process returns to the main routine as it is. If there is a charge payment instruction in step S42, infrared communication with the mobile phone T is performed in step S43. The charge is deducted from the charge data (rewrites the charge data of the mobile phone T), the lock device 21 of the locker corresponding to the ID code is unlocked in step S39, and the user ID, unlock number, Delete the locker number from the registration and return to the main routine.

  If it is determined in step S40 that the charge amount is not equal to or greater than the excess charge, in step S44, a shortage amount with respect to the excess charge and a display requesting input of a charge are displayed, and a timer is started in step S45. Then, in step S46 and step S47, it is monitored whether a charge is input, and when a predetermined time elapses without a charge being supplied, the process returns from step S47 to the main routine. If a fee greater than the shortage amount is charged within a predetermined time, it is determined in step S48 whether there is change (whether change has occurred). Hereinafter, the processing of steps S48 to S54 is the same as that of steps S19 to S25 of FIG. 5, and a charging process for charging the change to the mobile phone T and a cash process for paying the change in cash are performed. Similarly, when this cash process is performed, the charge amount is zero.

  As described above, the unlocking number and the locker number are acquired by the mobile phone when depositing the luggage, and the mail transfer flag is added to the release number and transferred to another mobile phone together with the locker number. Since the locker can be unlocked, the removal of the luggage can be easily entrusted to another person.
