Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial field of application] The present invention is suitable for use in a shared locker device, and more particularly in an apartment house, and particularly for delivering a plurality of packages to the same resident. The present invention relates to a joint locker device that is safe and reliable.

[Prior Art] Conventionally, when an act of delivering a package to a resident, for example, a delivery service by a courier or the like, the resident may be at home, but when it is absent, the delivery cannot be done. Was there.

Usually, in such a case, a resident nearby will take care of it, or when there is a manager, the manager will take care of it.

However, with the recent increase in so-called co-working and the increasing number of housewives' cultural activities, there are cases where there is no resident to leave the luggage, and it has been impossible to deliver the luggage carried.

Therefore, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 61-74093 proposes a locker system that allows a resident to receive luggage even when he / she is not present. This is because the locker key that locks and unlocks the locker door cannot be locked independently and cannot be removed, while the delivery person key used by the delivery person enables the locker key to be locked, And it can be pulled out. A locker key storage box that can be opened by the resident key is provided corresponding to the resident, and a printer device that records the delivery record when the locker key is inserted into the locker storage box and the delivery person key is inserted is provided. is there. This requires a locker key storage box because it uses a locker key for each locker, and the locker key usually projects from the door, so a child may climb up with this as a scaffold and break the locker key.

It is possible to install a rental locker device, but the rental locker was not suitable for delivery of luggage by courier companies and residents.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, no matter what type of joint locker is used, such joint locker is required to have the following features.

For example, clarify which resident the package was developed for.

The stored luggage must be stored safely.

Only the resident to be delivered can remove the package.

To be able to record to whom locker the luggage was stored.

Being able to reliably carry out luggage from residents.

Being able to record by the courier himself that the courier has delivered reliably.

Multiple packages can be delivered to the same resident.

The same resident can take out multiple packages one after another.

Be able to issue multiple packages from the same resident.

A courier can take out multiple packages from the same resident in sequence.

Etc. were requested.

However, in the joint locker that has been conventionally provided, although the functions described above are almost satisfied, the resident is the same when multiple packages are delivered to the same resident. Not only was it troublesome to repeat the procedure, but I also forgot to take it out when I thought that it was only one piece of luggage.

[Means for Solving Problems] The present invention has been developed to eliminate such inconvenience, and its gist is to be formed from a plurality of lockers provided with a locking device and having a luggage sensor inside. The locker unit and a control unit that controls opening / closing and management of the locker unit. The control unit includes a card reader for identifying the registration card distributed to the resident and the delivery company, and a residence for delivering the package. A numeric keypad for entering the residence number, locker number, etc. of the person, a data display unit, and a recording means for recording that the package has been stored in the designated locker are provided. Enter the house number and locker number of the person using the numeric keypad, store the luggage in the locker, lock it, and check the luggage sensor to activate the recording means. In a joint locker device with a computer controller that controls the person to insert the registration card into the card reader to unlock the locker containing the luggage, when the resident swipes the registration card through the card reader,
The data display section is configured to display the locker number and the number of packages, and when the package is taken out from one locker, the locker number and the number of packages containing the next package are sequentially displayed on the data display section. It is characterized by being configured so as to be controlled by a computer controller.

[Operation] Such a joint locker device according to the present invention has the same room number by inserting the registration card into the card reader when a resident takes out a plurality of packages stored inside by a delivery company. Since the number of packages addressed is displayed on the data display unit, forgetting to take out can be effectively prevented.

Further, the key storage unit 21, the operation unit 22, the printing unit 23, the coin insertion unit 24 and the like are all controlled by a computer controller 40 provided inside the control unit 20.

Next, a delivery company that has delivered the package for the specific operation and operation of the joint locker device according to the present invention transfers the package to the locker unit 1.
0 means for storing inside, thus means for resident to receive delivered packages, means for resident to pre-book lockers for receiving delivered packages, thus To the locker reserved by the courier, a means for the luggage carrier to store the luggage, a means for the resident to take out the luggage from the locker that he has booked himself, when the resident makes a reservation for the locker, Means for making a reservation by telephone, means for the carrier to store the luggage in this reserved locker, means for the resident to take out the luggage stored in the locker, resident carrying it to the courier Means for storing luggage in advance in a locker, means for a courier to take out luggage thus stored by a resident, A means to store the key of the room in the key storage unit 21, a means for the resident to inquire by phone whether or not the luggage has arrived, and when the luggage arrives, it has been registered in advance. Means for making arrival notification to the resident's telephone number will be explained in order.

Also, when using such a locker, for example,
Although there is a method of paying this operating cost from the common expense paid by the resident monthly, in the following explanation, 1
A case where the resident pays 200 yen for each time use will be described.

Further, in particular, the part according to the present invention stores a plurality of parcels delivered to the same resident inside the locker unit 10 regardless of whether it is a single delivery company or a plurality of delivery companies. Means, a means for the package carrier to store the package in a plurality of lockers reserved by the resident, and a means for the resident to sequentially receive the delivered packages in this way. It is a part.

First, a delivery company that has delivered a package will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG. 4 regarding means for storing the package in the locker unit 10.

First, the delivery company who has delivered the package uses the card that has been distributed in advance to the card reader 26 of the operation unit 22.
(Step 100).

Then, the computer controller 40 identifies whether or not the inserted card is a correct courier card (step 101).

If this card is not the card of the registered delivery company, the card is pushed out from the card reader 26 and the luggage cannot be stored (step 102).

If the card inserted into the card reader 26 in this way is a pre-registered delivery company card, the delivery company next asks the "house number" of the instruction unit 28.
After pressing, the ten key 27 is operated to specify the house number of the resident to be delivered (step 103).

Next, the delivery company pushes the "locker number" of the instruction section 28, and then designates the locker number that matches the size of the delivered package using the ten keys 27 (step 104).

In the locker corresponding to the locker number designated in this way, the display part provided in a part of the locker blinks to display the location of the locker (step 105).

After that, the delivery company will store the luggage in the locker, but when the locker door cannot be opened within a predetermined time, for example, 30 seconds after the locker is displayed (step 106), the card reader The card is returned from 26 and it becomes impossible to store the luggage thereafter (step 102).

Opening the locker door within 30 seconds like this
You can set the time to 5 minutes or 5 minutes, but if you store it in the locker promptly, or if the locker can be opened due to the operation performed by the delivery company, you can open the locker or store your luggage for too long. Considering the prevention of mischief due to the fact that it can be performed, about 30 seconds is appropriate.

In this way, after the displayed locker door is opened within the predetermined time, luggage is stored inside the open locker (step 107).

Then, the storage of the luggage is confirmed by a sensor provided inside the locker, for example, a weight sensor, a pressure sensor, an optical sensor using infrared rays, or the like (step 108).

The trader will then close the locker door (step 109).

When the luggage is completely stored inside the locker in this way, the lamp on the front of the locker changes to a color that indicates that it is in use, such as orange, to indicate that the luggage is stored. Yes (Step 11
0).

After that, the delivery company inserts the slip prepared in advance into the transmission insertion port 31 of the printing unit 23,
For example, the delivery date of the package, the delivery time, the house number of the delivery destination, the locker number, etc. will be printed on the slip (step 111).

Such prints provide the courier with proof of delivery to the resident.

In this way, after the printing on the slip is completed, the delivery company card is returned from the card reader 26, and the work of storing one package is completed.

In addition, at this time, when a plurality of packages are delivered to the same resident, regardless of whether the delivery companies are the same or not, the steps from step 100 to step 100 are repeated the same as the number of packages to be delivered. By repeating the process up to 111, a plurality of packages are stored.

Although not shown in detail in FIG. 4, in the case where a recording printer is incorporated in the computer controller, for example, in addition to the same contents as printed on the delivery agent's slip, the vendor number It is also possible to print a record including the.

In this way, it will be possible to confirm at a later date which delivery company, which delivery company used which locker to deliver to which resident.

Next, the means for the resident to receive the package thus delivered will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the resident inserts the registration card distributed to each resident into the card reader 26 of the operation unit 22 (step 120).

Then, the computer controller 40 determines whether the inserted card is a correct registration card (step 121).

At this time, if it is determined that the registration card is not the correct registration card, the registration card is pushed out from the card reader 26 to return the card, and the subsequent procedure becomes impossible (step 122).

If the inserted card is a correct registration card, the computer controller 40 next determines whether or not the luggage corresponding to the registration card is stored for the resident (step 123).

If the luggage is not stored here, a message indicating that the luggage is not stored is displayed (step 124), the card is returned (step 122), and the subsequent procedure becomes impossible.

Further, at this time, when there is storage of luggage addressed to the resident matching the house number registered in the registration card, first, the memory of the number A of stored luggage stored in the computer controller 40 is taken out (step 125).

Next, the locker number and the number of stored packages are displayed on the data display unit 30 of the operation unit 22 (step 1
26).

After such a display is made, the resident who should take out the package inserts 200 yen into the coin slot 32 of the slot 24 (step 127). If this 200 yen is not entered, the card will be returned (step 122),
You will not be able to take out your luggage. In such a situation, for example, when the resident returned home, he checked whether or not there was luggage stored, but there was luggage stored when he checked in this way, but he did not have change. Cases are possible.

The resident who inputs 200 yen here will open the locker door corresponding to the locker number designated in advance within 30 seconds (step 128).

If the locker door corresponding to the designated locker number is not opened within 30 seconds, the inserted 200 yen is returned (step 129), the card is returned (step 122), and the luggage is taken out. You cannot do it. In such a case, by repeating a series of operations from the card reader 26 again, the luggage can be taken out.

On the contrary, when the door of the locker corresponding to the locker number displayed within 30 seconds is opened, the luggage can be taken out thereafter (step 130).

The removal of the package is detected by the same sensor as that explained when the package is stored.

After taking out the luggage, the locker door is closed (step 131).

When the package is taken out in this way, the number of stored packages stored in the counter B is incremented by "1".

Next, the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the number A obtained by subtracting the incremented counter B, that is, the number of taken-out packages from the previously stored number A of stored packages is 0 or more.

At this time, when B is less than A, that is, when three parcels are stored, when one of the parcels is taken out, this A pull B
Becomes 3 minus 1 and the result is 2. Therefore, the process returns to step 126 for displaying the locker number and the number of packages, and the same step is repeated.

In this way, when the value of A minus B is not greater than 0, that is, when A minus B is equal to 0, the resident is in a state of taking out all delivered packages addressed to itself. , A and B incremented
After clearing (step 134) and returning the card (step 122), a series of operations is ended.

Further, in the above description, for example, when there is a package stored in the judgment at step 123, if the locker number and the number of stored packages are displayed and the chime or the like is formed to ring, it is possible to forget to take out the package. It will disappear.

Further, when a plurality of packages are stored, that is, when the value of A minus B determined in step 133 is a natural number, the chime is sounded again, so that forgetting to take out the packages is further reduced. Is.

Furthermore, by the computer controller 40,
When the internal recording printer is installed, the resident takes out the package, closes the locker, and then the date and time the package was received, the resident's house number, the locker number taken out, and the indication that the package was taken out. For example, if a display such as "out" is recorded, it is possible to reconfirm the record of storing or taking out the baggage at a later date.

Next, a means for the resident to make a reservation in advance for a locker for storing the luggage to be delivered will be described.

Regarding such reservation means, there are a method of using the registration card owned by the resident and a method of not using the registration card.

First, the reservation using the registration card will be described with reference to FIG.

First, at this time, the resident inserts the registration card into the card reader 26 (step 260).

Then, the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the inserted card is an authorized card (step 261).

If it is not the correct card, the inserted card is returned to the card reader 26 (step 26
2) The following lockers cannot be registered.

If the registration card is an authorized card, 200 yen will be charged as the locker usage fee (step 263).

If 200 yen is not inserted, the card is returned to the card reader 26 (step 262), and the locker cannot be designated.

If 200 yen is input here, first press the "rocker number" on the instructing section 28, then press the numeric keypad 27.
Is operated to specify the desired locker number (step 264).

Then, the designated locker lights up the lamp in use, even though there is no stored item in the locker (step 265).

After the locker number has been designated in this way, the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 26
2) A series of reservation operations are completed.

If you want to reserve multiple lockers at this time,
Steps 260 to 265 are repeated according to the number of lockers reserved.

Locker reservations in which the resident does not need his own registration card will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

At this time, the resident first pays 200 yen to the coin slot 3
Input from 2 (step 140).

After that, after pressing the "house number" of the instruction section 28, the house number which is his / her room is designated by operating the ten keys 27 (step 141).

Then, after pressing "Locker Number" in the instruction section 28, the locker number of the desired size is designated (step 14).
2).

Then, although the locker corresponding to the designated number does not store luggage, the busy lamp of the locker designated as the number is turned on (step 143), and the locker reservation is completed.

Also, at this time, if you want to reserve multiple lockers,
Steps 140 to 143 are repeated according to the number of lockers reserved.

When the locker is designated in this way, if the recording printer is built-in, the date and time when the locker is reserved, the living room number, the locker number, etc. are recorded by the computer controller 40. Become.

Further, in FIGS. 6 and 7 and the like, there is no description of the flow chart when various operations are mistaken after the insertion of 200 yen, but in such a case, along with the return of the card, etc. The inserted 200 yen returns from the cancel port 34, and the operation is repeated from the first operation in the flowchart.

The means for the delivery company to store the package in the locker thus reserved will be described with reference to the flow chart shown in FIG.

First, the courier inserts a courier card that has been distributed in advance into the card reader 26 (step 15).
0).

In this way, after the courier card has been inserted, the computer controller 40 checks whether the inserted courier card is a correctly registered courier card.
(Step 151).

As a result, when it is determined that the delivery company card is not correct, the inserted delivery company card is returned from the card reader 26 and the luggage cannot be deposited (step 152).

If the courier card is correct, then press the "House number" on the indicator 28, and then press the numeric keypad 2
By the operation of 7, the house number of the resident who is the destination is designated (step 153).

When the resident having the designated house number has made a locker reservation in advance, the data display unit 30 displays which locker the locker should store (step 154).

When such a display is made, it is determined whether the locker door is opened within 30 seconds (step 155). Subsequent operations are processed in the same manner as steps 107 to 111 in the flowchart of FIG. 4, so only steps 156 to 160 are shown and detailed description thereof is omitted.

In addition, at this time, when the corresponding packages are delivered to a plurality of lockers reserved by the same resident, the same number of packages as the packages to be delivered is used regardless of whether the delivery company is the same or not. Steps 150 to 152 only the number of times
By repeating the above steps, a plurality of pieces of luggage are stored.

Further, the case where the resident takes out the luggage stored in this way will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

However, the flowchart shown in FIG. 9 is the same except step 127 which is the determination as to whether or not 200 yen has been inserted in the flowchart shown in FIG.
Only the steps 170 to 183 are illustrated, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The locker reservations described above can also be made by phone. Means for making such a reservation will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

At this time, first, the resident will make a call to the telephone number designated in advance (step 19).
0).

Then this phone is a computer controller 40
Will be connected to.

Next, the resident presses the * mark on the touch-tone phone once (step 191), and then inputs the house number using the ten-key pad 27 of the touch-tone phone (step 19).
2).

After that, after the resident presses * (step 19)
3) Now enter the locker number (step 1
94).

Then, the voice synthesis IC installed in the computer controller 40 notifies that the reservation is completed, and the locker reservation by telephone is completed (step 19).
5).

At this time, in the case of reserving any locker without designating the locker, that is, in the case of reserving the locker without limitation on the size or type of the locker, for example, after step 192 By pressing the * mark twice in succession, the locker number can be configured to be stored in the computer controller 40 as well as when the open locker is reserved without reservation.

When making reservations for a plurality of lockers when making such locker reservations by telephone, steps 190 to 195 may be repeated, but step 195 may be repeated.
After that, by pressing the * mark once, it is possible to move to step 192 or step 194 and save the trouble of making a call again or re-entering the house number.

When the locker is booked in this way, the procedure when the delivery company stores the package in the booked locker is the same as the flowchart shown in FIG. Is omitted.

In addition, regarding the procedure for taking out the items stored in the locker booked by phone in this way, since 200 yen has not been put in at the time of booking the locker, the locker will be charged after 200 yen is put in. Since it is similar to the flowchart shown in FIG. 5 that can be opened, detailed description will be omitted.

Next, regarding the means for storing the luggage to be shipped by the resident in advance in the joint locker device according to the present invention, such as when requesting the luggage from a courier delivery carrier,
Description will be made based on the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, at this time, the resident inserts his / her own registration card into the card reader 26 as in the conventional case (step 20).
0).

If the inserted card is not the correct registration card (step 201), the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 202), and the work of shipping the package cannot be performed.

If the inserted card is correct, the resident who should store the next baggage inserts 200 yen into the coin slot 32 of the slot 24 (step 203).

Of course, if the 200 yen is not inserted, the card inserted in the card reader 26 is returned (step 202), and the luggage cannot be stored. Although not shown in the drawing for the input of 200 yen, it is also possible to provide a means for determining whether or not the input is within 1 minute.

If the 200 yen is correctly entered here, the resident next pushes the "personal identification number" of the instruction section 28 and inputs the number corresponding to the personal identification number using the ten keys 27 (step 204).

Next, the resident presses the "locker number" of the instruction unit 28,
The number corresponding to the number of the locker to be stored is designated by operating the ten keys 27 (step 20).
5).

After that, it is determined whether the door of the locker for which the number is designated is opened within 30 seconds after the number is designated (step 206).

If it is not opened within 30 seconds, the previously inserted 200 yen is returned from the cancel opening 34 of the insertion unit 24 (step 207), the card is also returned from the card reader 26 (step 202), and thereafter. You will not be able to store your luggage.

If the locker door is opened within 30 seconds, the luggage can be stored inside the locker (step 2).
08).

The luggage thus stored is confirmed to be stored by the sensor provided inside the locker (step 209).

After that, by closing the locker door (Step 21
0), the in-use lamp of the locker is turned on (step 211).

Furthermore, after storing the luggage in this way, the date and time of storing the luggage, the resident number, the locker number, etc. are printed on the storage slip stored inside the device and output. (Step 212).

In addition, when the resident brings a storage slip, the slip insertion slot 31
Then, by inserting the storage slip, the same contents as described above are printed and returned from the slip insertion slot 31 (step 212).

By printing on the storage slip in this way, it is evidence that the resident has left the luggage in the locker at a later date.

After printing on the storage slip in this way, the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 202), and the series of baggage depositing operations are completed.

At this time, in the case where the same resident stores a plurality of packages in the locker, steps 200 to 202 are repeated as many times as the number of packages to be stored.

In this way, when the resident has previously stored the package to be shipped in the locker, the means for the delivery company to take out the stored package will be described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Also at this time, the delivery company first inserts a pre-given carrier card into the card reader 26 (step 21).
0).

When the computer controller 40 identifies that this card is not a pre-registered courier card (step 211), the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 2).
12) The luggage cannot be taken out.

If the card inserted in this way is a pre-registered courier card, the courier then presses the secret code received from the resident and presses the "secret code" of the instruction unit 28. Then, it is designated by operating the ten keys 27 (step 213).

If the personal identification number is correct, the number A of shipments stored in the computer controller 40 is stored (step 214), and the locker number and the number of packages are displayed (step 215).

Of course, if the personal identification number input at this time is not correct, although not shown in the drawing, it is impossible to take out the package in step 212.

After that, the luggage can be taken out if the locker corresponding to the designated locker number is opened within 30 seconds (step 216), but if it is not opened within 30 seconds, the card inserted in the card reader 26 is returned ( In step 212), the luggage cannot be taken out.

Even if the card is returned in this way, if the delivery company is correct, the same operation can be repeated from step 210 to take out the package.

On the contrary, when the locker storing the luggage is opened within 30 seconds to take out the luggage (step 217) and then the locker is closed (step 218), the counter B corresponding to the retrieved luggage is incremented. (Step 219).

When the counter B is incremented by “1” in this way, the value obtained by subtracting the value of the counter B, which is sequentially incremented from the number A of stored shipments, is greater than 0, that is, whether it is a natural number. It is determined (step 220).

When this number is a natural number, the locker number and the number of stored packages are displayed again in step 215.
Then, the same operation is repeated.

Further, when the number obtained by subtracting the sequentially incremented B from the stored number A is not 0 or more, that is, when it becomes equal to 0, after clearing A and B (step 221), the card is returned (step 221). 212), the series of package receiving operations is completed.

This is because at this time, all the luggage already stored in the locker has been taken out.

Next, regarding the means for the resident to store his / her own key in the key storage unit 21 provided above the control unit 20,
Description will be given according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

First, the resident inserts his / her registered card into the card reader 26 (step 220).

If the card thus inserted is not a registration card (step 221), the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 222), and the key storage operation described below cannot be performed.

Further, when the registration card is properly registered (step 221), the key insertion cave 25 of the residence number of the resident corresponding to the registration card is opened so that the key can be stored (step 223). .

After the key insertion opening 25 is opened in this way, the resident inserts his or her own key into the opened key insertion opening 25 and rotates it to the right to store the key. (Step 224).

Further, after the key is inserted and stored in this manner, if there is a contract with a security company or the like, an alarm start signal will be output to the security company (step 225).

That is, when the security start signal is output in this way,
Until the key is removed, which will be described next, various sensors that detect, for example, when a third party invades the room or when the window glass is broken, etc. Can be detected.

Further, if necessary, the key can be stored and the lighting of the house where the resident lives, or the control for automatically cutting the circuit for air conditioning can be performed (step 226). However, even in such a case, it is necessary to prevent electric control of an electric product that should be operated even when the user is not living, such as a refrigerator.

After such a series of operations is completed, the inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 and the key storage operation is completed (step 222).

In this way, the case where the resident takes out the once stored key when returning home will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Regarding key removal work, the resident first inserts his or her card into the card reader 26 (step 230).

Then, the computer controller 40 determines whether or not the inserted card is a pre-registered correct card (step 231).

If the card inserted at this time is not a registered regular card, the card inserted in the card reader 26 is returned to the card reader 26 (step 232) and the key cannot be taken out. .

If the inserted card is an authorized card, unlocking is displayed (step 23).
3).

When the unlock display is displayed in this manner, it is determined whether or not the key corresponding to the room number in which the user lives is rotated to the left within 10 seconds after the display is displayed (step 234). ).

If the card is not rotated within 10 seconds, the previously inserted card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 232) and the key cannot be removed.

If the key is not removed even though the card is correct, insert the card again (step 230).
Then, the key can be removed by performing a predetermined operation.

When the key is rotated to the left within 10 seconds after the unlock display is displayed (step 233) (step 23)
4) Then, the rotated key can be removed (step 235).

After the key is removed, the security mentioned above is released (step 236) and the electric control is also released (step 237).

At the same time, if the luggage arrives at the house number corresponding to the key, the computer controller 40
In response to a command from the customer, a luggage display indicating that the luggage has arrived is displayed (step 238).

After performing a predetermined operation after removing the key in this way, the card is returned from the card reader 26 (step 232) and a series of operations for removing the card is completed.

If there is a display indicating that the luggage has arrived during the key removal operation (step 238) and the locker has not been reserved in advance, the luggage should be taken out according to the flowchart shown in FIG. Will be done.

Further, when the locker is reserved in advance, the luggage is taken out according to the flowchart shown in FIG.

Since any of the extractions has already been described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 5 or FIG. 9, the description thereof will not be repeated here.

Next, a flow chart shown in FIG. 15 for means by which the resident designates his / her own house number and inquires by telephone whether or not the parcel from the delivery company is stored in the joint locker device according to the present invention. Follow the instructions below.

In such a case, the resident first makes a call to a predetermined telephone number determined in advance (step 240).

After that, the * mark used for the touch-tone telephone is pressed (step 241), and the house number of the user is input using the ten-key pad of the telephone (step 242).

Then, in the computer controller 40, it is judged whether or not the parcel corresponding to the house number is stored (step 243). When the parcel is stored, a notification that the parcel is present (step 244), and the storage is made again. If not, a notification that there is no luggage is given (step 245).

Also, the telephone number when the resident makes a telephone reservation for the locker, which has already been described according to the flowchart shown in FIG.
If a different telephone number is used for inquiring about the arrival, the telephone number is called to the predetermined telephone number (step 190, step 240) and then the * mark is pressed (step 1
91, step 241), and then the house number may be entered (step 192, step 242),
When the same telephone number is set for the telephone number for telephone reservation and the telephone number for inquiry for arrival, for example, for inquiry for arrival, after making a call (step 240), press the * mark twice ( By inputting the house number in step 241) and then inputting the house number (step 242), the computer controller 40 may determine that it is an arrival inquiry.

Next, a means for making an arrival report by telephone to the resident corresponding to the house number designated by the delivery company when the parcel is stored will be described with reference to the flowchart shown in FIG.

In such a case, the resident needs to register an appropriate telephone number of his / her home or office as a telephone number for arrival notification in advance, and have the computer controller 40 input it.

In such a case, when the delivery company specifies the house number of the registrant and stores the package in a specific locker, the sensor appropriately confirms the storage, and after that, there is a signal of locker blockage (step 250). A telephone call is automatically made to the registered resident telephone number (step 251).

By this automatic telephone call, for example, when the user reaches the registered telephone number (step 252), the person who picked up the telephone is notified that the parcel is stored by using the voice synthesis IC. Then, the arrival notification is completed (step 253).

Furthermore, although a call is made to the registration number registered in advance, but when the call is busy (step 252), the call is repeatedly made.

However, if the computer controller 40 is set to have the number of repetitions until the call is made 6 times, the number C of repeated calls is incremented (step 254), and then the incremented number C is subtracted from 6. It is determined whether or not the number is 0 or more, that is, a natural number. When the number C incremented from 6 is 6 or more, that is, (6-C) is a natural number,
Returning again to step 251, the registration number is contacted.

However, when (6-C) is not 0 or more, that is, when it becomes 0, the arrival report is not issued.

In the above description, when the common locker device is used, the resident always pays a usage fee of 200 yen, but such payment may be unnecessary.

In this way, when payment of the fee is unnecessary, the common locker device can be maintained by offering the usage fee from the common service fee paid by each resident.

Furthermore, the delivery charges of the lockers may be paid by the delivery company who takes in / out the luggage instead of the resident.

In addition, when the payment of the fee is not necessary, the determination part "whether or not 200 yen has been paid" in each of the above-mentioned explanations is eliminated. Further, when the delivery company is formed to pay the usage fee, it is determined whether the delivery company card inserted in the card reader 26 is the correct card, and if the card is the correct card, then 20
It suffices to have a process of judging whether or not 0 yen has been paid.

Furthermore, when the resident's luggage is delivered, when the resident returns home from the place where he / she goes, for example, when the door of each living room is opened, a means for notifying the arrival of the luggage by a chime is provided. As a result, it is possible to prevent the resident from forgetting to take the luggage.

Further, as the storage means, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is described that the slip is printed on the slip brought by the delivery company after the delivery work of the delivery company is completed.

However, although different from the case described above, it is also possible to store the deposit of the luggage in a trader card formed of an IC card, for example. Of course, even when this is done, it is necessary to memorize in the computer controller of the control unit that the baggage is thus deposited. Further, at this time, after returning to the office, the trader can prevent the trouble related to the deposit by having the card reader 26 installed in the company read the storage information of the deposit.

In the above description, according to FIGS. 13 and 14,
Explained how to deposit and receive the key of the resident.

However, with respect to the storage of such a key, the storage itself of the key can be used as one judgment as to whether the resident is at home in each living room or is out.

For example, when the resident is at home in each living room, the key is owned by the resident. That is, it is assumed that the key is not stored in the key storage unit 21, and when the resident goes out and leaves the living room, the key should be stored in the key storage unit 21 by the computer controller 40. It can be determined that the resident is absent from home. By doing so, the delivery company that deposits the luggage, etc. first puts his / her registration card in the card reader 26 and, after it is determined that the card is correct, enters the living room number to be delivered. It is possible for the control unit 20 to know whether the resident is at home or not at home.

If formed in this way, there is no need for the trouble of knowing that the parcel is out after the parcel is delivered to each living room, moving the parcel again to the common locker device portion, storing it, and returning it.

Furthermore, in the above description, the case where the common locker device is installed in a collective home has been described as an example.

However, other than such an apartment house, for example, it can be installed in a convenience store or the like as an agent for sending and receiving courier services or an agent for receiving goods. In this case, if a convenience store or the like accepts a telephone reservation for a product and stores the desired product in the joint locker device, the sales will be improved in addition to the profit of the joint locker device itself. You can also let it. Of course, not only convenience stores but also specialized stores with shared lockers can be created. Furthermore, it will be easier to use if it is installed at a station or the like that always passes when returning home.

Also, if a refrigerating locker or a warming locker is placed in the locker placed in the locker unit 10 and installed in a convenience store or department store that sells food products, the customer who purchases the food etc. You can store it in a locker and take it out when you go home. This makes it possible to purchase the desired food even when returning home late. Further, in such a case, it is possible to charge a fee for use, or to use the service free of charge as a service for purchasing a product. Also, for example, by using the membership card issued by each department store etc. like a registration card, together with the use of the joint locker device,
It is also possible to increase the number of members.

In addition, it can be installed in a place where a large number of people gather, such as a hotel or an airport, and can be used for depositing at the time of leaving the warehouse or temporarily depositing luggage.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention relates to a shared locker for delivering luggage, which is installed at the entrance of a housing complex or the like.
If multiple packages are delivered to one resident, you can display the number of packages in addition to the locker number on the data display by inserting the registration card into the card reader without performing the same removal procedure. In this way, after taking out one package, the locker number and the number of packages containing the next package are also displayed, so that the resident takes out only one package and forgets to take another package. There is nothing.

That is, it is possible to effectively prevent forgetting to take out a package when a plurality of packages are delivered.
