If the indoor door 6 is in the closed state, the process moves to step S3, but if the closed state of the indoor door 6 cannot be detected, the process does not move to step S3. Therefore, when the indoor door 6 is not in the closed state, an alert provided in the delivery box 3 may be issued, or a notification may be sent to the information terminal owned by the user U.

In step S3, article presence/absence information is transmitted from the delivery box 3 to the server 40. At least the identification information ID and the closed state information of the indoor door 6 are linked to the article presence/absence information. That is, although not included in the article presence/absence information in this embodiment, the closed state information of the outdoor door 5 and the password information may be transmitted in association with the article presence/absence information, as described above.

In step S4, the server-side communication unit 41 in the server 40 receives the article presence/absence information from the delivery box 3, and in step S5, the server-side storage unit 42 in the server 40 stores the article presence/absence information. Then, in step S6, the server-side communication unit 41 in the server 40 transmits to the information terminal S first notification information indicating that the article presence/absence information has been received from the communication unit 32 in the delivery box 3.

In step S7, the information terminal S receives the first notification information from the server-side communication unit 41 in the server 40. Since the first notification information includes information that allows the delivery box 3 to be identified by the identification information ID, the delivery person who is in possession of the information terminal S goes to the building 1 where the user U resides in step S8. , provide and/or collect goods.
When the delivery person delivers and/or collects the goods, in step S9, the information terminal S sends a second notification to the server 40 indicating that the delivery and/or collection of the goods to the delivery box 3 has been completed. Submit information.
Note that in the case of a configuration in which the second notification information is sent from the delivery box 3 to the server 40 instead of sending the second notification information from the information terminal S to the server 40, step S9 is performed according to the flow on the delivery box 3 side. To position.

After the delivery person provides and/or collects the goods, in step S10, the content of the information sent from the delivery box 3 to the server 40 is erased as it is no longer needed, and the corresponding storage area of the storage unit 36 is will be reset.

When the second notification information is transmitted from the information terminal S to the server 40 in step S9, the server-side communication unit 41 in the server 40 receives the second notification information from the information terminal S in step S11.
In step S12, the determination unit 43 in the server 40 determines that provision and/or collection of the article presence/absence information stored in the server-side storage unit 42 has been completed.
