The electric door 5 is unlocked (see arrows P51 and P52 in FIG. 8) using the non-contact communication C23 with the device 3. Specifically, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the resident 90 only has the portable communication device 2 as a hands-free electronic key (for example, put it in a bag). Non-contact communication C23 at a long distance between the portable communication device 2 and the information communication device 3 is performed. Then, the communication control mechanism 30 in the information communication device 3 performs the acquisition processing of the identification data from the portable communication device 2 and the authentication process thereof, and the subsequent unlock control for the electric door 5 by the above-described method.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 8, using the interface unit 3 b (the display unit 35 and the voice input / output unit 34) in the information communication device 3, whether or not there is a delivery to the resident 90 in the delivery locker 204. Will be notified. Here, when a notification that there is a delivery is made, the delivery is stored using the non-contact communication C24 between the portable communication device 2 and the delivery locker 204 as shown in FIG. The storage box 4a is unlocked. Specifically, in this case as well, for example, as shown in FIG. 8, the occupant 90 only has the portable communication device 2, and the communication between the portable communication device 2 and the information communication device 3 is performed. Non-contact communication C24 at a long distance is performed. Then, the communication control mechanism (not shown) in the home delivery locker 204 obtains identification data from the portable communication device 2 and its collation process, and then unlocks the corresponding storage box 4a by the method described above. Take control. In the case of this comparative example 2, the resident 90 then moves to the vicinity of the home delivery locker 204 (in front of the interface unit 204b) (see arrow P202a in FIG. 8), and is applicable (unlocked). After confirming the number and the like of the storage box 4a on the display unit 45, the delivery item in the storage box 4a is received.

  Thus, unlike the delivery locker system of Comparative Example 1, the delivery locker system of Comparative Example 2 does not require the resident 90 to hold the portable communication device 2 in his / her hand each time. Specifically, since the non-contact communication C23, C24 at a relatively long distance is used, the resident 90 only has to carry the portable communication device 2 and passes through the solution to the electric door 5 and the delivery locker 204. Each lock control is performed. That is, hands-free in the home delivery locker system is realized. Therefore, it is very convenient, for example, when both hands of the occupant 90 are closed, and convenience is improved as compared with the first comparative example.

  However, the delivery locker system of Comparative Example 2 is different from the delivery locker system of Comparative Example 1 described above, because it uses relatively non-contact communication C23, C24, as will be described below. Furthermore, there is a problem that a deposit can occur due to unintended release control to the storage box 4a.

  That is, first, in the home delivery locker system of the first comparative example, as described above with reference to FIG. 7, the resident 90 individually brings the portable communication device 102 close to the information communication device 3 and the home delivery locker 104. Thus, unlock control for the electric door 5 and the home delivery locker 104 is performed independently. Therefore, when the release control for the home delivery locker 104 is performed, the resident 90 is positioned in the vicinity of the home delivery locker 104, so that no deposit by unintentional release control to the storage box 4a occurs. In other words, if a notification is made that there is a delivery by the information communication device 3, the resident 90 is not aware of the notification, or first returns home and tries to pick up the delivery. Even if it goes into the apartment house 109 from the electric door 5 without going to the locker 104 (see arrow P102b in FIG. 7), it can be said that such a deposit does not occur.

  On the other hand, in the home delivery locker system of Comparative Example 2, as described above with reference to FIG. 8, the resident 90 has the portable communication device 2 and passes through the vicinity of the information communication device 3. By the non-contact communication C23, C24, the unlock control for the home delivery locker 204 as well as the electric door 5 is performed simultaneously (at a time). Accordingly, when the release control for the delivery locker 204 is performed, the resident 90 is not necessarily located in the vicinity of the delivery locker 204, so that a deposit by unintended release control to the storage box 4a may occur. In other words, if a notification is made that there is a delivery by the information communication device 3, the resident 90 is not aware of the notification, or first returns home and tries to pick up the delivery. When the user enters the apartment house 209 from the electric door 5 without going to the locker 204 (see the arrow P202b in FIG. 8), such a deposit can occur. In addition, during the non-contact communication C24, the arrival of radio waves due to a reflection phenomenon or multipath may occur, so that the home delivery locker 204 is particularly installed at a position where it is not visible (difficult to see) from the vicinity of the information communication device 3. In some cases, the risk of such a trade is increased.

  Thus, it can be said that it is difficult for the home delivery locker systems of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 to achieve both improvement in convenience due to hands-free and improvement in security due to risk avoidance of deposits.

(Operation of this embodiment)
On the other hand, in the delivery locker system 1 of the present embodiment, the problems in the comparative examples 1 and 2 are solved as follows.

  In this home delivery locker system 1, first, as shown in FIG. 9, for example, a portable communication device 2 and an information communication device 3 possessed by a resident 90 (see arrow P <b> 9 in FIG. 9) who has returned to the apartment house 9. The electric door 5 is unlocked (see arrows P51 and P52 in FIG. 9) using the non-contact communication C23 between the two. Specifically, as in the comparative example 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the resident 90 has the portable communication device 2 as a hands-free electronic key (for example, in a cage). In this case, the non-contact communication C23 at a long distance between the portable communication device 2 and the information communication device 3 is performed. Then, the communication control mechanism 30 in the information communication device 3 performs the acquisition processing of the identification data from the portable communication device 2 and the authentication process thereof, and the subsequent unlock control for the electric door 5 by the above-described method.

  At this time, as shown in FIG. 9, using the interface unit 3 b (the display unit 35 and the voice input / output unit 34) in the information communication device 3, whether or not there is a delivery to the resident 90 in the delivery locker 4. Will be notified. Here, in the case where a notice that there is a delivery item is made, in this embodiment, unlike the comparative example 2, at this time (when the resident 90 is in the vicinity of the information communication device 3), in FIG. As shown by “× (X)”, the non-contact communication C24 between the portable communication device 2 and the home delivery locker 4 is not performed (not started). In the present embodiment, the resident 90 then moves to the vicinity of the home delivery locker 4 (in front of the interface unit 4b) (see arrow P9a in FIG. 9), and as shown in FIG. After the human sensor 44 detects that a human (resident 90) is present in the predetermined range A1, the non-contact communication C24 between the portable communication device 2 and the home delivery locker 4 is started.

  That is, in this case as well, for example, as shown in FIG. 9, the occupant 90 simply holds the portable communication device 2, and the occupant 90 moves into the predetermined range A <b> 1 described above. Non-contact communication C24 at a long distance between the portable communication device 2 and the home delivery locker 4 is performed. Then, the communication control mechanism 40 in the home delivery locker 4 obtains the identification data from the portable communication device 2 and its collation process, and then unlocks the corresponding storage box 4a by the above-described method. Will do.

  Thus, in the home delivery locker system 1 of the present embodiment, in the home delivery locker 4, there may be a human (resident 90) in the predetermined range A1 that is a part of the human sensor 44 itself in the detectable range. When it is detected and the identification data is acquired from the portable communication device 2 by the non-contact communication C24, the collation processing of the identification data and the subsequent unlock control for the storage box 4a are performed. Thus, in the present embodiment, unlike the comparative example 2, unintentional release to the storage box 4a due to unintentional transmission of identification data to the home delivery locker 4 side by non-contact communication C24. Occurrence of deposit by control is avoided. In other words, if a notification is made that there is a delivery by the information communication device 3, the resident 90 is not aware of the notification, or first returns home and tries to pick up the delivery. Even if it goes into the apartment house 9 from the electric door 5 without going to the locker 4 (see arrow P9b in FIG. 9), it can be said that such a deposit does not occur. Further, in the present embodiment, as in the comparative example 2, hands-free using the non-contact communication C23, C24 at a relatively long distance is realized, and the convenience is improved. From the above, in the delivery locker system 1 of the present embodiment, unlike the first and second comparative examples, the improvement in convenience due to the hands-free and the improvement in security due to avoidance of the risk of deposit are compatible. I can say that.

(Operation example of home delivery locker system 1)
Here, with reference to FIG. 10, the operation example of the delivery locker system 1 will be described more specifically. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the home delivery locker system 1 shown in FIG. 2. The operation examples of the portable communication device 2, the information communication device 3, and the home delivery locker 4 are shown in time series. Show.

  In this operation example, first, the delivery person of the delivery item confirms that the resident 90 of the delivery destination is absent, and then operates the operation unit 42 in the delivery locker 4 in a predetermined manner, so that the room of the resident 90 who is absent. Enter a number. Further, the delivery person stores the delivered item in the empty storage box 4a, and operates the operation unit 42 again to lock the storage box 4a. Thus, in the delivery locker 4, the delivery product of the resident 90 who is absent is stored in the storage box 4a in a locked state (step S101).

  In the delivery locker 4, when the delivery item is stored in the storage box 4a as described above, the information communication mechanism 40 (communication unit 31) uses the communication C34 to notify the arrival of the arrival. Information is output (transmitted) to the communication control mechanism 30 (communication unit 31) in the information communication device 3 (step S102). In the communication control mechanism 30, the arrival information transmitted in this way is recorded in the storage unit 33. In the delivery locker 4, the arrival information is stored as a database in the communication control mechanism 40 (storage unit 43) (step S103).

  Thereafter, when the resident 90 who has been away returns to the apartment house 9 and approaches the information communication device 3 while holding the portable communication device 2 (step S104), the portable communication device 2 and the information communication device 3 are located. The non-contact communication C23 at a long distance between and is performed. And the communication control mechanism 30 in the information communication apparatus 3 acquires identification data from the portable communication apparatus 2 by this non-contact communication C23 (step S105). Further, the communication control mechanism 30 (control unit 39) performs an authentication process on the acquired identification data (step S106), and whether the identification data matches the arrival information stored in the storage unit 33 or not. A collation process is performed (step S107). In other words, a collation process is performed to determine whether arrival information about the resident 90 corresponding to the acquired identification data exists. As described above, at this point in time (when the resident 90 is in the vicinity of the information communication device 3), as indicated by “x” in FIG. 10, the portable communication device 2, the home delivery locker 4, and The non-contact communication C24 during is not performed (not started).

  Here, when normal authentication is performed in the authentication process of step S106, the communication control mechanism 30 (control unit 39) performs unlocking control on the electric door 5 (step S108). If it is determined in the collation process in step S107 that the identification data matches the arrival information (the arrival information for the resident 90 corresponding to the identification data exists), the arrival information is as follows. Is displayed (step S109). That is, in this case, the information communication device 3 uses the interface unit 3b (display unit 35) to notify that there is a delivery to the resident 90 in the delivery locker 4. Such notification may be performed using the voice input / output unit 34 instead of the display unit 35.

  Here, in the case where notification that there is a delivery item is made, and the resident 90 moves to the vicinity of the delivery locker 4 and approaches (step S110), the following occurs. That is, the human sensor 44 in the home delivery locker 4 (communication control mechanism 40) detects that a human (resident 90) exists within the predetermined range A1 described above (step S111). Then, the non-contact communication C24 between the portable communication device 2 and the delivery locker 4 is started, and the communication control mechanism 40 in the delivery locker 4 is identified from the portable communication device 2 by the non-contact communication C24 from this time point. Data is acquired (step S112).

  Further, the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) performs a collation process to determine whether or not the identification data acquired in this way matches the arrival information in the database stored in the storage unit 43 (step S113). ). In other words, a collation process is performed to determine whether arrival information about the resident 90 corresponding to the acquired identification data exists. Here, in the collation process, when it is determined that the identification data matches the arrival information (the arrival information about the resident 90 corresponding to the identification data exists), the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) Then, unlocking control is performed on the storage box 4a corresponding to the arrival information (step S114). Thereby, the resident 90 can receive the delivery delivered to himself / herself from the corresponding storage box 4a, and the series of operation examples shown in FIG. 10 is completed.

(Operation example of communication control mechanism 40)
Next, with reference to FIG. 11, an operation example of the communication control mechanism 40 in the delivery locker 4 in such an operation example will be described more specifically. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an operation example of the communication control mechanism 40 in the home delivery locker 4 shown in FIG.

  In this operation example, first, as a previous step, the communication control mechanism 40 (for example, the RFID tag in the communication unit 41) in the delivery locker 4 is set to lower communication sensitivity (transmission sensitivity and reception sensitivity) (step S201). . Specifically, for example, the communication range in the non-contact communication C24 with the portable communication device 2 in the communication control mechanism 40 substantially matches (preferably matches) a predetermined range A1 that can be detected by the human sensor 44. As described above, the communication sensitivity is set for the non-contact communication C24. As a result, the non-contact communication C24 is not substantially performed (not started) unless the resident 90 is within the predetermined range A1.

  Then, under such communication sensitivity setting, the communication control mechanism 40 (human sensor 44 and control unit 49) determines whether or not a human (resident 90) exists within the predetermined range A1 ( Step S202). If it is determined that it does not exist (step S202: N), the determination in step S202 is repeated until it is determined that it exists. On the other hand, when it determines with existing (step S202: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (communication part 41) starts the non-contact communication C24 with the portable communication apparatus 2 next (step S203).

  Here, the communication control mechanism 40, in the case of non-contact communication C24 with the portable communication device 2, data including time information at that time or time-series information up to that time (for example, digital time stamp or rolling) Code) is preferably used as the inquiry signal. This is because by using such data as an inquiry signal, it is possible to specify the person to be inquired (the resident 90 as the owner of the portable communication device 2) and the inquiry time.

  Subsequently, the communication control mechanism 40 (the communication unit 41 and the control unit 49) determines whether or not the identification data is received (acquired) from the portable communication device 2 by the non-contact communication C24 (step S204). If it is determined that it has not been received (step S204: N), the determination in step S204 is repeated until it is determined that it has been received. At this time, it is determined whether the identification data is received by the non-contact communication C24 (wireless input) or directly input from the operation unit 42 (manual input), and the identification by the input is performed. Data may be acquired.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the identification data has been received (step S204: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) then uses the above-described method to obtain the identification data and the database (arrival information). A collation process is performed (step S205). And the communication control mechanism 40 (control part 49) determines whether the arrival information (corresponding arrival information) about the resident 90 corresponding to identification data exists in the collation process (step S206). When it is determined that the corresponding arrival information does not exist (step S206: N), the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) displays, for example, that effect on the display unit 45 (there is no corresponding arrival information). Control (to display an error) is executed (step S207). After that, the process returns to step S202.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the corresponding arrival information exists (step S206: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (the control unit 49) performs unlocking control on the storage box 4a corresponding to the arrival information. (Step S208). As a result, the resident 90 can receive the delivery delivered to himself / herself from the corresponding storage box 4a.

  Next, the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) uses, for example, a predetermined sensor (such as an infrared sensor or a weight sensor) (not shown) to determine whether or not a delivery item exists (remains) in the storage box 4a. Is determined (step S209). When it is determined that the delivery item remains (not received) (step S209: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) unlocks the storage box 4a using a counter (not shown), for example. It is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, about several tens of seconds) has elapsed since the control was performed (step S210). When it is determined that the predetermined time has not elapsed (step S210: N), the process returns to step S209 again. On the other hand, when it is determined that the predetermined time has elapsed (step S210: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (control unit 49) informs the display unit 45, for example, that the delivery time for delivery has been increased. Control to display (to display an error) is executed (step S211). After that, the process returns to step S202.

  If it is determined in step S209 that no delivery is left (reception completed) (step S209: Y), the communication control mechanism 40 (the control unit 49 and the communication unit 41) performs communication C34 or non-contact communication. Using C24, the information communication device 3 and portable communication device 2 are notified of receipt completion (step S212). After that, the process returns to step S202. Thus, the series of operation examples illustrated in FIG. 11 is completed.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the delivery locker 4 (communication control mechanism 40) detects that a person is present in the predetermined range A1 that is a part of the vicinity of the human sensor 44 within the detectable range. When the identification data is acquired from the portable communication device 2 by the non-contact communication C24, collation processing between the identification data and the database including the arrival information and the subsequent unlock control for the storage box 4a are performed. As a result, the occurrence of a deposit due to unintentional release control to the storage box 4a due to the unintentional transmission of the identification data to the home delivery locker 4 by the non-contact communication C24 is avoided. Therefore, it is possible to improve the security when using the non-contact communication C23, C24.

  Specifically, in the home delivery locker system 1 of the present embodiment, unlike the first and second comparative examples, the security property is maintained while maintaining the high convenience of the home delivery locker system using the non-contact communication C23 and C24. (Both improvement in convenience and improvement in security) can be achieved.

  In particular, in the present embodiment, after the information communication mechanism 40 detects that a person is present within the predetermined range A1, the contactless communication C24 with the portable communication device 2 is started to acquire identification data. Thus, the following effects can be obtained as compared with the modification described below (an example in which the non-contact communication C24 is always performed). In other words, it is possible to eliminate as much as possible the risks (such as the risk of radio wave interference or the interception of radio waves) when performing the non-contact communication C24 at all times.

  Incidentally, in this case, the home delivery locker 4 (communication control mechanism 40) is not connected to the portable communication device 2 after the human sensor 44 detects the presence of a person a plurality of times within the predetermined range A1. It is desirable to initiate contact communication C24. That is, it is desirable to start the non-contact communication C24 for the first time after the detection is continuously performed a plurality of times without starting the non-contact communication C24 yet only once detected. In addition, as a detection frequency (detection interval) in this case, for example, a method of about once per second can be mentioned. In addition, a method of setting the communication start condition in this case as “multiple times” includes, for example, about 3 to 4 times. When such a method is applied, even if there are a plurality of residents 90 within a predetermined range A1 by chance at the same time (when a plurality of people are detected at a certain timing), the following Such a problem can be avoided, and the security can be further improved. That is, by making multiple continuous detections a condition for starting communication, unintended start of non-contact communication C24 with another resident 90 who happens to pass within the predetermined range A1, or other resident It is possible to avoid unintentional communication interruption or the like due to 90 in the middle of the non-contact communication C24.

<2. Modification>
Then, the modification of the said embodiment is demonstrated. In the above embodiment, the home delivery locker 4 (communication control mechanism 40) starts contactless communication C24 with the portable communication device 2 after a person is detected within the predetermined range A1, and acquires identification data. explained. On the other hand, in this modification, the home delivery locker 4A (communication control mechanism 40) always performs non-contact communication C24 with the portable communication device 2 and when a person is detected after obtaining the identification data. An example of starting the subsequent verification process and unlocking control of the storage box 4a will be described. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected to the same thing as the component in embodiment, and description is abbreviate | omitted suitably.

  FIG. 12 is a schematic external view of a schematic configuration example and an operation example of the home delivery locker system according to this modification. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the home delivery locker system according to the present modification. Each operation of the portable communication device 2, the information communication device 3, and the home delivery locker 4A is similar to FIG. Examples are shown in chronological order.

  In the home delivery locker system of this modification, as shown in FIG. 12, first, as in the above embodiment, a portable type possessed by a resident 90 (see arrow P9 in FIG. 12) who has returned to the apartment house 9A. The non-contact communication C23 between the communication device 2 and the information communication device 3 is used to unlock the electric door 5 (see arrows P51 and P52 in FIG. 12).

  Here, when a notice is given that there is a delivery to the resident 90 in the delivery locker 4A, in the present modification, unlike the above embodiment, the portable communication device 2 and Non-contact communication C24 with home delivery locker 4A is performed (started). That is, in this modified example, as indicated by a mark “◯ (maru)” in FIG. 12, such non-contact communication C24 is started from this time (when the resident 90 is in the vicinity of the information communication device 3). Is performed (started). In other words, contactless communication C24 (communication inquiry) between the home delivery locker 4A and the portable communication device 2 is always performed.

  And in the delivery locker 4A (communication control mechanism 40) of this modification, after acquiring identification data from the portable communication apparatus 2 by non-contact communication C24 started in this way, it acquired as follows. The identification data matching process and the subsequent unlock control for the corresponding storage box 4a are performed. That is, the resident 90 then moves to the vicinity of the delivery locker 4A (in front of the interface unit 4b) (see the arrow P9a in FIG. 12), and as shown in FIG. 12, the human sensor 44 in the delivery locker 4A. Thus, when it is detected that a human (resident 90) is present within the predetermined range A1, such collation processing and subsequent unlocking control are started.

  Here, the operation example shown in FIG. 13 will be described. The operation example of this modification corresponds to the operation example of FIG. 10 described in the above embodiment with the following changes. That is, instead of step S112 in FIG. 10 (acquisition of identification data from the portable communication device 2 using the non-contact communication C24 by the home delivery locker 4), this corresponds to the step S121 described below. . Specifically, step S105 (acquisition of identification data from the portable communication device 2 using the non-contact communication C23 by the information communication device 3) and step S121 (portable type using the non-contact communication C24 by the home delivery locker 4A) Acquisition of identification data from the communication device 2 is performed.

  In this way, in this modified example as well, basically, as in the above-described embodiment, in the home delivery locker 4A, it is detected that a person is present within the predetermined range A1 in the vicinity of the human sensor 44, and the portable When the identification data is acquired from the type communication device 2 by the non-contact communication C24, the identification data and the database including the arrival information are collated, and the unlocking control for the storage box 4a thereafter is performed. Therefore, basically the same effect can be obtained by the same operation as the above embodiment.

  Strictly speaking, in this modification, the resident 90 (the owner of the portable communication device 2) corresponding to the identification data acquired by the non-contact communication C24 and the human being detected by the human sensor 44 are used. The identity is not guaranteed. This is because there is a slight time lag (time difference) due to movement of the occupant 90 between the acquisition time of the identification data and the detection time by the human sensor 44.

  Therefore, in the present modification, in the home delivery locker 4A (communication control mechanism 40), the resident 90 corresponding to the identification data acquired by the non-contact communication C24 and the identity of the human detected by the human sensor 44 are determined. It is desirable to perform determination processing. And it can be said that it is desirable for the communication control mechanism 40 to perform the collation process of the acquired identification data and the subsequent unlock control for the storage box 4a only when it is determined that they are the same in the determination process. . This is because the security can be further improved.

As the identity determination process at this time, for example, the following method can be used.
・ Face authentication (Register the face of each resident 90 in advance)
・ Detection of human movement information (detects movement of the occupant 90 from the vicinity of the information communication device 3 to the home delivery locker 4A using the human sensor 44)
Use time-series information (for example, a digital time stamp or a rolling code is used as an inquiry signal during non-contact communication C24)
