[Service contents]
FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of welfare service using the information processing system of FIG.

As shown in FIG. 2, a company C that uses welfare services is registered as a first user by a service provider M and given a company ID. Employees E1 to En who use the welfare service and the rental warehouse service (to be described later) are each registered as a second user by the service provider M and given an employee ID.

The service provider M concludes a contract with the company C to provide the company C with the right to use the company-owned space CS of a predetermined volume in providing welfare services. In the example of FIG. 2, company C is granted the right to use company-owned space CS with a volume of 200 tatami mats.
As a result, the company C grants each of its employees E1 to En the right to use at least a part of the company-owned space CS within the range of 200 tatami mats as the right to use each of the allocated spaces ES1 to ESn. can be assigned to

Here, the allocation of the company-owned space CS to the employee E may be done inside or outside the welfare service. In this embodiment, the company-owned space CS is allocated within the welfare service. As a result, the service provider M can manage the respective volumes of the allocated spaces ES1 to ESn, so that the scope of rights of the employees E1 to En can be managed.

In the example of FIG. 2, Company C is granted the right to use the company-owned space CS of 200 tatami mats, so Company C can make the following allocations, for example. That is, the company C assigns an allocated space ES1 of 0.2 tatami mats, an allocated space ES2 of 0.5 tatami mats, and an allocated space ES2 of 0.5 tatami mats to each of the employees E1 to E3 among the n employees grants the right to use the allocated space ES3, respectively. In this case, each of the employees E1 to E3 can deposit baggage within a certain ratio (for example, 80%) of each of 0.2 tatami mats, 0.5 tatami mats, and 1.0 tatami mats. .
Here, in the present embodiment, the unit when each of the employees E1 to E3 deposits the baggage is "a unit based on the volume" instead of each baggage. Specifically, each of a plurality of types of "units based on volume" becomes a unit of storage member L having a volume of "units based on volume". Details of the storage member L will be described later.

Employee E, who has been granted the right to use the allocated space ES, receives rental warehouse services using the "information processing device" disclosed in the specification and drawings of Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-106929 by the present applicant. can be a user. In other words, the employee E, as a user of the rental warehouse service, can deposit luggage within a range up to a fixed ratio to the capacity of the allocated space ES.
In the example shown in FIG. 2, an employee E1 (employee ID1) who has been granted the right to use the allocated space ES1 can deposit baggage D1 up to a certain percentage of the volume of the allocated space ES1. Employee E2 (employee ID2) who is granted the right to use the allocated space ES2, which has a larger volume than the allocated space ES1, deposits the baggage D1 and D2 within a certain ratio of the volume of the allocated space ES2. can be done. An employee E3 (employee ID3) who is granted the right to use the allocated space ES3, which has a larger volume than the allocated space ES2, deposits baggage D1 to D3 within a certain ratio of the volume of the allocated space ES3. be able to.
Details of the rental warehouse service will be described later with reference to FIG.

A service provider M that provides welfare services monitors so that the total volume of the assigned spaces ES1 to ESn used by the employees E1 to En does not exceed the volume of the company-owned space CS. The company C freely assigns the right to use the assigned spaces ES1 to ESn to each of the employees E1 to En within the range not exceeding the volume of 200 tatami of the company-owned space CS.
As a result, the company C can provide the employees E1 to En of the company C with the right to use the rental warehouse service as one of the welfare programs that are non-monetary rewards.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a specific example of allocation space.

FIG. 3A is a diagram showing how the allocated spaces ES1 to ES3 are used by the employees E1 to E3 among the n employees E. The minutes are indicated by v1 to v3.
As shown in FIG. 3A, the volume of the company-owned space CS is 200 tatami mats. Each of the employees E1 to E3 is given the right to use the allocated space ES1 of 0.2 tatami mats, the allocated space ES2 of 0.5 tatami mats, and the allocated space ES3 of 1.0 tatami mats. It is The employee E1 uses 0.15 tatami mats (r1) and leaves 0.05 tatami mats unused (v1) in the allocated space ES1 of 0.2 tatami mats. The employee E2 uses 0.35 tatami mats (r2) and leaves 0.15 tatami mats unused (v2) in the allocated space ES2 of 0.5 tatami mats. Employee E3 uses 0.8 tatami mats (r3) and leaves 0.2 tatami mats unused (v3) in the allocated space ES3 of 1.0 tatami mats. Therefore, the allocated space ES in use by the employee E as a whole is 1.3 tatami mats, which is the sum of r1 to r3, and the unused allocated space ES is 0.4 tatami mats, which is the sum of v1 to v3. becomes.

Here, in the company-owned space CS, in addition to the allocated space ES allocated to each of the employees E1 to E3, an unallocated space FS as a buffer which has not yet been allocated to the employee E is secured. can be done. As a result, even if employee E uses his own allocated space ES in excess of its capacity, if the excess is within the range of unallocated space FS, it can be dealt with only by adjustment within company C. can. In other words, only adjustments within the company C can be made without changing the contract that stipulates the volume of the company-owned space CS, and the welfare service can be used smoothly.
Note that the method of adjustment within Company C is not particularly limited. For example, an application program installed in each of the employee terminals 3-1 to 3-3 may be used to link the terminals so that the assigned space ES can be shared within the volume of the company-owned space CS.
In the example of FIG. 3A, an unallocated space FS of 198.3 tatami mats is secured in addition to the allocated space ES. For this reason, for example, even if employee E1 uses 0.5 tatami that exceeds the volume of allocated space ES1 (0.2 tatami) by 0.3 tatami, it can be dealt with only by adjustment within company C. It becomes possible to

Similarly to FIG. 3A, FIG. 3B is a diagram showing how the allocated spaces ES1 to ES3 are used by the employees E1 to E3. The minutes are indicated by v1 to v3.
However, the volume of the company-owned space CS shown in FIG. 3B is 2.0 tatami mats, which is smaller than the example of FIG. Each of the employees E1 to E3 is given the right to use the allocated space ES1 of 0.2 tatami mats, the allocated space ES2 of 0.5 tatami mats, and the allocated space ES3 of 1.0 tatami mats. It is The allocated space ES in use by the employee E as a whole is 1.3 tatami mats, and the unused allocated space ES is 0.4 tatami mats.
In the example of FIG. 3B, an unallocated space FS of 0.3 tatami mats is secured in addition to the allocated space ES. For this reason, for example, even if employee E1 uses 0.5 tatami that exceeds the volume of allocated space ES1 (0.2 tatami) by 0.3 tatami, it can be dealt with only by adjustment within company C. It becomes possible to

In addition, even if any of the employees E uses more than the volume of the allocated space ES and the volume of the unallocated space FS, the employee can In some cases, it can be handled only by adjusting between E.
FIG. 3(C) is a diagram showing a case where only employee E3, out of employees E1 to E3, uses more than the volume of her assigned space ES and the volume of her unassigned space FS. , r for used and v for unused.
In the example shown in FIG. 3(C), the employee E3 uses the allocated space ES3 and the unallocated space FS in excess of their capacities. can be dealt with only by coordination within Company C. That is, if the excess t does not exceed the sum of the unused volume (v1) of the allocated space ES1 and the unused volume (v2) of the allocated space ES2, employees E1 to E3 The overall usage stays within the volume of the corporate holding space CS. In this case, it can be dealt with only by coordination within company C.
In the example of FIG. 3(C), the employee E3 has a volume (0 .4 tatami mats) are used. In other words, the excess t is 0.1 tatami mats. However, the excess t (0.1 tatami mats) is the difference between the unused volume of the allocated space ES1 (0.05 tatami mats) and the unused volume of the allocated space ES2 (0.15 tatami mats). Smaller than the total (0.2 tatami mats). That is, a formula of t≤v1+v2+v3 is established.
Therefore, since the employees E1 to E3 as a whole use within the range of the volume (2.0 tatami mats) of the company-owned space CS, it can be handled only by adjustment within the company C.

FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a rental warehouse service using the "information processing device" disclosed by the present applicant in Japanese Patent Application No. 2018-106929 and drawings.

An employee E who uses the rental warehouse service can request deposit of luggage within a range of a certain percentage (for example, 80%) of the predetermined volume of the allocated space ES. However, as described above, the unit when the employee E requests to deposit the baggage is "a unit based on the volume", not for each baggage.
When the employee E instructs to deposit the baggage, the delivery company G picks up the baggage. Here, there is no particular limitation on the form of packing when the cargo is collected. In this embodiment, each of a plurality of types of "units based on volume" is packed using a storage member L having a volume of "units based on volume". Specifically, the employee E can instruct collection of one or more packages that are to be deposited in the allocated space ES in one or more storage members L. For example, in the example of FIG. 4, a delivery company G supplies an employee E with a storage member L1 having a first volume, a storage member L2 having a second volume, and a storage member L3 having a third volume. , provided in advance.

Under this premise, for example, employee E stores clothes O1, Christmas tree O2, and dolls O3 as luggage to be deposited in assigned space ES at home H1 in storage members L1 to L3. to pack. By operating the employee terminal 3, the employee E instructs the delivery company G to pick up each of the storage members L1 to L3.
The delivery company G follows the contents of the collection instruction displayed on the delivery terminal 4, goes to the home H1 of the employee E, collects the storage members L1 to Lh3, and delivers them to the warehouse SH.

Here, at the time of collecting the storage members L1 to L3, the delivery company G uses imaging means such as a camera mounted on the delivery terminal 4 to image the packages stored in each of the storage members L1 to L3. . In the example shown in FIG. 2, the clothes O1 packed in the storage member L1, the Christmas tree O2 packed in the storage member L2, and the Hina doll O3 packed in the storage member L3 are each imaged. As a result, it is possible to record the state of the baggage at the time of collection as image data, so that the image data of the picked-up baggage is tied to the storage member L storing the baggage deposited in the allocated space ES. can be attached and managed. As a result, the employee E can easily visually recognize the image of the luggage that he or she has deposited in the assigned space ES by displaying the image on the employee terminal 3 .

In addition, since the state of the package at the time of collection can be recorded as image data, it is possible to clarify who is responsible for damage to the package. In other words, from the service provider M side, it is possible to avoid the risk of being responsible for damages that have already occurred before collection. In addition, from the employee E side, it is possible to avoid the risk of being responsible for damage or the like that occurs after collection.

Each of the collected storage members L1 to L3 is stored in the warehouse SH in a state in which the clothes O1, the Christmas tree O2, and the doll O3 are packed. Further, image data of the clothes O1, the Christmas tree O2, and the Hina dolls O3 are tied to each of the collected storage members L1 to L3.

Since the allocated space ES is strictly managed as a virtual space, it does not necessarily have to be the same as the actual space in which each of the storage members L1 to L3 is actually stored. That is, each of the storage members L1 to L3 does not need to be collectively stored in one place in the warehouse SH, and may be stored separately in any convenient location depending on the nature of the cargo. Moreover, it may be divided and stored in a plurality of warehouses SH.
As a result, for example, packages that are susceptible to the temperature of the storage location can be stored without deterioration. In addition, the space in the warehouse SH can be efficiently used for the same type of cargo that can be stored by being piled up regardless of the owner.

The employee E operates the employee terminal 3 to issue an instruction to deliver at least one of the storage members L1 to L3 stored in the allocated space ES (for example, only the storage member L1) to a desired location. can take out. Here, the "desired place" indicates that the employee E can designate a place other than his home (for example, the hotel H2) as the delivery destination of the storage member L1, as shown in FIG.
Accordingly, when the employee E stores the golf bag in the storage member L4 (not shown), the employee E can effectively utilize the rental warehouse service by the following method. That is, the employee E can store the storage member L4 in the assigned space ES on days when he does not play golf, and deliver the storage member L4 to the golf course only on days when he plays golf. That is, before and after the employee E plays golf, the storage member L4 is stored in the allocated space ES. As a result, the employee E can be freed from the trouble of bringing the golf bag back to the home H1 and keeping it there.

A drive 20 is provided as required. A removable medium 30 such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, a magneto-optical disk, or a semiconductor memory is mounted in the drive 20 as appropriate. A program read from the removable medium 30 by the drive 20 is installed in the storage section 18 as necessary. The removable medium 30 can also store various data stored in the storage unit 18 in the same manner as the storage unit 18 .

Such cooperation between various hardware and software of the server 1 of FIG. 5 allows the server 1 to execute various processes described later.
Although not shown, the company terminal 2, the employee terminal 3, and the delivery terminal 4 in the information processing system of FIG. 1 also have the hardware configuration shown in FIG. However, when the company terminal 2, the employee terminal 3, and the delivery terminal 4 are composed of smartphones or tablets, they have touch panels as the output unit 16 and the input unit 17. FIG.

[Functional configuration]
FIG. 6 is a functional block diagram showing an example of a functional configuration for realizing user management processing and parcel management processing among the functional configurations of the server 1 of FIG.

Here, "user management processing" refers to a series of processing for managing the scope of rights of users who use welfare services.
Also, the "package management process" refers to a series of processes for managing the packages of the user who uses the rental warehouse service.

As shown in FIG. 6, in the CPU 11 of the server 1, when user management processing is executed, a user management unit 101, a parcel management unit 102, a web management unit 103, and an image management unit 104 function. do. Further, when package management processing is executed, package management unit 102, web management unit 103, and image management unit 104 function.
A user DB 401 and a warehouse DB 402 are provided in one area of the storage unit 18 of the server 1 .

The user management unit 101 has a registration unit 111 and a monitoring unit 112 to execute user management processing.

The registration unit 111 grants a first right to use a virtual space of a predetermined volume to a first user who manages one or more second users. Information about the first user's granted right is registered by being stored in the user DB 401 .
Specifically, for example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the registration unit 111 provides the first company-owned space CS of 2.0 tatami mats to the company C managing the employees E1 to En. Grant rights. The granted right to use the company-owned space CS of company C is registered by being stored in the user DB 401 . As a result, the server 1 can manage the right scope of the company C. In addition, Company C can grant employees E1 to En the right to use the allocated space ES within a volume of 2.0 tatami mats.
Further, the registration unit 111 grants the one or more second users from the first user the right to use at least a part of the virtual space of the predetermined volume as the right to use the allocated space ES of the predetermined volume. If so, register that right. Specifically, the information about the second user's granted right is registered by being stored in the user DB 401 .
In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the registration unit 111 registers the right to use each of the allocated spaces ES1 to ES3 when each of the employees E1 to E3 is granted the right to use each of them. As a result, the server 1 can manage the scope of rights of the company C and the scope of rights of each of the employees E1 to E3.

The monitoring unit 112 monitors so that the total volume-based unit of each of the one or more second users managed by the deposit management unit 121, which will be described later, does not exceed a reference amount set based on a predetermined volume. do. Specifically, for example, in the examples shown in FIGS. Monitor so as not to exceed 2.0 tatami, which is the volume of the space CS. As a result of monitoring, when the total volume of the allocated spaces ES1 to E3 approaches the volume of the company-owned space CS, the monitoring unit 112 causes the company terminal 2 and the employee terminal 3 to display a message to that effect. . In addition, the monitoring unit 112 causes the company terminal 2 to display a message prompting a change contract for increasing the volume of the company-owned space CS.

Package management unit 102 has deposit management unit 121 and instruction reception unit 122 to execute user management processing and package management processing.

When the first user grants each of the one or more second users the second right to use at least part of the virtual space of a predetermined volume, the deposit management unit 121 manages the second user as follows. . In other words, the deposit management unit 121 classifies and manages the luggage to be deposited for each of the one or more second users in units based on volume. Specifically, for example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the deposit management unit 121 classifies and manages the luggage deposited by each of the employees E1 to E3 by the storage member L unit.

Further, the deposit management unit 121 associates a first identifier capable of specifying the first user with one or more second identifiers capable of distinguishing and specifying one or more second users. Specifically, for example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the deposit management unit 121 assigns an employee ID 1 that can distinguish and identify employees E1 to E3 to a company ID that can identify company C. to 3 are associated with each other.
Further, the deposit management unit 121 classifies and manages the luggage to be deposited in units based on volume for each second identifier of one or more second users. Specifically, for example, in the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the deposit management unit 121 stores each of the packages D1 to D3 to be deposited for each of the employee IDs of the employees E1 to E3 in the storage member L Separate and manage by each.
The monitoring unit 112 performs monitoring based on the first identifier and one or more second identifiers. Specifically, for example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the monitoring unit 112 monitors based on the company ID and employee IDs 1 to 3. FIG.

The instruction receiving unit 122 receives, in units based on the volume, the second user's parcel handling instruction within a range up to a certain ratio of the predetermined volume of the allocated space ES to the predetermined volume. Specifically, the package handling instruction is a series of processes when information indicating package handling instructions (hereinafter referred to as "instruction information") is transmitted from the employee terminal 3 based on the operation of the employee E. Say. The instruction information includes information indicating an instruction to deposit baggage in the allocated space ES1, information indicating an instruction to ship baggage already deposited in the allocated space ES1, and the like. In the example shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the instruction receiving unit 122 allows the employee The luggage handling instruction from E1 is received in units of storage members L.

The WEB management unit 103 operates a website (hereinafter referred to as a “status viewing site”) that can present various information such as the usage status of the company-owned space CS, the status of deposited luggage, and the usage status of the allocated space ES. call).
As a result, the personnel manager J of the company C can easily visually recognize the volume of the company-owned space CS, the ratio of the allocated space ES to the company-owned space CS, and the like by accessing the status viewing site. Furthermore, the personnel manager J of the company C can easily visually recognize the ratio of the volume of the space actually used by the employee E to the volume of the allocated space ES (hereinafter referred to as "allocated usage rate"). can also
Also, by accessing the status browsing site, employee E can easily visually check the allocation usage rate, specific contents of the baggage he/she is depositing (for example, image data of an image of the baggage), and the like. From the standpoint of protecting the privacy of the employee E, the specific contents of the checked luggage are displayed only on the employee terminal 3 operated by the employee E who deposited the luggage. In other words, the specific contents of the luggage deposited by the employee E1 are displayed only on the employee terminal 3-1. As a result, employees E2 to En who operate information processing terminals other than the employee terminal 3-1 and the personnel manager J can be prevented from viewing the specific contents of the baggage deposited by the employee E1. .

The image management unit 104 acquires the image data of the packages captured when the delivery company G collects the packages. Furthermore, the image management unit 104 stores and manages the acquired image data of the parcel in the user DB 401 and the warehouse DB 402 by linking it to the storage member L in which the parcel is stored.

[Graphical User Interface (GUI)]
FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the employee terminal 3 when the employee E issues a package handling instruction for depositing the package in the allocated space ES.

As shown in FIG. 7, a display area 61 on the left side of the screen displays a comprehensive menu that can be selected when the employee E issues various cargo handling instructions. Specifically, items such as "list of deposits", "pickup (deposit baggage)", "shipment (take out baggage)", and "optional service" are displayed. Another specific example of the general menu is shown in the display area 61. FIG.
A display area 62 on the right side of the screen displays a menu for the employee E to select items of luggage to be checked. In the display area 71, "1.5 tatami mats (3.4992 m ³ )" is displayed as the volume of the allocated space ES. In the display area 72, "0.15 tatami (0.3499 m ³ )" and "10%" are displayed as the volume actually used by the employee E and the allocation usage rate. Further, in the display area 73, eight types of storage members L11 to L18 are displayed as "common items" among the units based on the volume. Here, the "frequent items" refer to items that are frequently used as storage members L for depositing luggage by the second user who uses the rental warehouse service.
Each of the storage members L11 to L18 displays an icon that gives an image of a package having a predetermined volume, and buttons B11 to B18 for selecting the quantity. The employee E can press a desired button out of the buttons B11 to B18 to select the baggage to be deposited by the number of units of the storage members L11 to L18.

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the employee terminal 3 when a specific quantity of storage members L is selected on the screen shown in FIG.

For example, when the employee E wants to deposit five storage members L11, the employee E presses the button B11 until "5" is displayed as the "quantity" as shown in FIG. conduct. This operation is accepted by the instruction accepting unit 122, after which the deposit managing unit 121 makes a trial calculation of the allocation usage rate. Specifically, the volume usage amount and the allocation usage rate when five storage members L1 are newly deposited are calculated, and the results are displayed in the display area 72 as trial calculation results. In the example shown in FIG. 8, "1.65 tatami mats (3.8491 m ³ )" and "110%" are displayed in the display area 72 while being emphasized using red characters or the like. In other words, the display emphasized using red letters or the like indicates that the sum of the volume of the virtual space currently being used by employee E and the volume of the baggage that employee E intends to newly deposit is the volume of allocated space ES. This indicates that the

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a screen managed by the server 1 side when a new baggage is deposited based on the instruction of the employee E1.

As shown in FIG. 9, a screen 80 managed by the server 1 is configured to include a display area 81, a display area 82, and a display area 83. As shown in FIG. Among them, a display area 81 on the right side of the screen displays an item list of baggage to be newly deposited based on the instruction of the employee E1. In this item list, newly checked luggage is listed and displayed in units based on volume. For example, as the first item, an item name "cardboard" (with image data), a JAN code "0000000000001" as an identifier for uniquely identifying the package, and a link button 811 to detailed information are displayed. As the second item, the item name "costume case" (with image data), the JAN code "0000000000002", and a link button 811 to detailed information are displayed. Another specific example of the item list is shown in the display area 81. FIG.

When the link button 811 in the display area 81 is pressed, a popup screen 84 is displayed so as to be superimposed on the screen 80 . Detailed information other than the information displayed in the item list in the display area 81 can be displayed on the pop-up screen 84 . In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the dimensions of the package "53 cm in width, 35 cm in depth, 35 cm in height, and 10 kg in weight" are displayed. Also, by displaying a pop-up screen 84, the information on the parcel may be edited. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 9, the JAN code can be edited.

In the display area 82 arranged on the left side of the screen 80, the current allocation usage rate and the allocation usage rate when the baggage displayed in the item list of the display area 81 is newly deposited (hereinafter referred to as "scheduled allocation usage rate"). rate”) is displayed. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the current quota usage rate of "9.0%" and the planned quota usage rate of "14.0%" for employee E1 are displayed.
As a result, the service provider M can check the screen 80 managed by the server 1 to easily check the allocation usage rate for the employee E1 and the scheduled allocation usage rate when a new package is deposited. can be visually recognized.

In the display area 83 arranged on the left side of the screen 80, the ratio of the volume of the assigned space actually used by the employees E1 to En to the volume of the company-owned space CS (hereinafter referred to as "company usage rate") ) is displayed. The display area 83 also displays the company usage rate (hereinafter referred to as "planned company usage rate") when the baggage displayed in the item list of the display area 81 is newly deposited. In the example shown in FIG. 9, the current company usage rate "70.0%" and the planned company usage rate "75.0%" of employees E1 to En are displayed.
Accordingly, by checking the screen 80 managed by the server 1, the service provider M can easily visually recognize the company usage rate and the planned company usage rate. Further, based on the usage rate of the company and the usage rate of the planned company, the service provider M informs the company C that the usage rate of the planned company is likely to exceed 100%, for example, and asks to change the contents of the contract. You can also encourage
As a result, it is possible to appropriately manage the volume of the company-owned space CS of company C that receives welfare services.

Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and the present invention includes modifications, improvements, etc. within the scope of achieving the object of the present invention. be. Moreover, the effects described in the present embodiment are merely enumerations of the most suitable effects resulting from the present invention, and the effects of the present invention are not limited to those described in the present embodiment.

For example, in the above-described embodiment, the allocation of the company-owned space CS to the employee E is performed within the welfare service. may be performed. In this case, the server 1 manages only the total amount of space actually used by the employees E1 to En, without managing the respective volumes of the allocated spaces ES1 to ESn. That is, the server 1 has a simple configuration in which the scope of rights of each of the employees E1 to En is not managed. In this case, company C uses its own personnel management system or simply uses paper to manage the volume of each of the assigned spaces ES1 to ESn, thereby determining the scope of rights of each employee E1 to En. to manage.

Also, for example, the volume of the allocated space ES is not particularly limited to the above embodiment, and may be arbitrary. For example, in the examples shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the minimum volume of the allocated space ES is 0.2 tatami mats, but it may be smaller. In this case, the items to be stored (virtually) in the allocated space ES may be arbitrary or may be fixed. In the case of fixing, the type of article may be fixed so that only a golf bag can be stored, or a cardboard box or the like having a predetermined volume is adopted as the storage member L, for example, "only three cardboard boxes can be stored". It may be fixed with a condition such as

Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, a plurality of types of storage members L are employed as the "unit based on volume", but the number is not particularly limited to this and may be arbitrary. For example, a luggage whose volume can be determined in advance, such as a golf bag, may be adopted as the "unit based on volume."

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the allocated space ES and the "unit based on volume" are defined in advance by the service provider M, but are not particularly limited to this. For example, the employee E may be allowed to arbitrarily set.

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the instruction receiving unit 122 is configured to receive baggage handling instructions from the employee E in units of storage members L within a range of up to 80% as a predetermined ratio of the allocated space ES. However, this is only an example. The predetermined percentage may be less than 80% or greater than 80%.

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the first user who uses the welfare service is assumed to be an organization such as a company that is in a position to provide welfare to members such as employees, but the present invention is not limited to this. . For example, although not shown, it is also possible to provide related services for families in which the first user is the "father" and the second user is the "family other than the father". In this case, the service provider M concludes a contract with the father as the first user to grant the right to use the "family-owned space" corresponding to the above-mentioned company-owned space CS. The father who is granted the right to use the family-owned space has the same rights as the above-mentioned right to use the allocated space ES for family members other than himself (spouse, children, etc.) within the volume of the family-owned space. assign.
In this case, the volume of the space owned by the family can be changed according to the charge. Specifically, for example, packs such as "Family Pack 0.5" where the volume of family-owned space is 0.5 tatami, and "Family Pack 1.0" where the volume of family-owned space is 1.0 tatami. You may enable it to select and contract. As a result, family members other than the father can freely use the rental warehouse service while sharing the volume of the space owned by the family. As in the case of Company C described above, the father himself may not use the rental warehouse service, but the father himself may use the rental warehouse service.
In addition, if the family does not plan to use the rental warehouse service or if there is still room in the allocated space, the composition ratio of the volume of the allocated space can be freely adjusted within the family. Thereby, for example, if a mother does not currently plan to use the rental warehouse service, she can present a part of her own allocated space ES to her child.

In such family-oriented related services, there is no particular limitation as to whether or not family members are required to live together as a condition of service provision.
As a condition of providing the service, if the family members are required to live together, for example, depending on the size of the house where the family lives and the number of family members, a discount service such as "large family support price" can be provided to the customer. can also be increased.
On the other hand, if it is not necessary for the family to live together as a condition of providing the service, for example, the eldest son, who has moved to Tokyo to go on to university, can use the allocated space ES to live comfortably even in a one-room apartment with no storage space. be able to.

Also, as a related service for individuals, it may be possible to prepay a fee for a predetermined period. That is, for example, if the fee for three years is always paid in advance, even if the person who has the right to use the virtual space suddenly fails to pay the fee, the virtual space will be available for three years. You can keep your luggage as it is.
By using such an advance payment system, it is possible to provide a personal "living storage service". "Life storage service" means that even if the user of the virtual space suddenly dies, the bereaved family does not have to rush to pick up the luggage of the deceased stored in the virtual space. It is a purposeful service. When using the living storage service, it is necessary to pay the usage fee for a predetermined period in advance, so during that period, the user can freely store the luggage in the virtual space and pick up the luggage. As a result, even if the user of the virtual space suddenly dies, the stored baggage will not be disposed of during the period in which the usage fee is paid in advance. In addition, in the living storage service, the intention of the service user regarding the handling of the luggage stored in the virtual space at the time of the service user's death can be recorded in advance and managed as will information. This can avoid unnecessary disputes between bereaved families. In addition, for service users who want to leave a memento for their children, we offer a user-friendly service that respects the subtle parental feelings of wanting to avoid forcibly forcing a memento on the child while he or she is still alive. can provide.

Also for example, in the embodiment described above, Company C assigns the right to use all or part of the company-owned space CS to employee E, so that employee E may not use the assigned space ES for private purposes. becomes.
However, the purpose of using the company-owned space CS is not limited to the case where the employee E uses it for private purposes. It can be used as a virtual facility for company C. Specifically, for example, the company-owned space CS can be used as a locker or library installed in the building of company C. In this case, for example, the company C divides the company-owned space CS into allocated spaces ES1 to ES10, of which the allocated spaces ES1 to ES5 are assigned to the general affairs department, the personnel department, the accounting department, the business department, and the sales department, respectively. may be allocated so that it can be used as a library. Also, the remaining allocated spaces ES6 to ES10 may be allocated to employees E1 to E5 as lockers for personal items.
In this way, the company C can also use the company-owned space CS for business, so that the land and buildings owned by the company C can be made compact. As a result, Company C can reduce various costs (acquisition costs, repair costs, taxes and public dues, etc.) required for acquiring and maintaining land and buildings.

Further, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the employee E issues an instruction to deliver the storage member L stored in the allocated space ES to the hotel H2. , the hotel H2, but may of course be the home H1 or the company C (not shown).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, it is explained that the use exceeding the scope of the company-owned space CS is accompanied by a contract change between the service provider M and the company C, but the present invention is not limited to this. . If the usage exceeding the company-owned space CS is within the range of the prescribed volume, a so-called temporary relief service that allows the service user to temporarily approve the usage is applied. good too.

The series of processes described above can be executed by hardware or by software.

When a series of processes is to be executed by software, a program constituting the software is installed in a computer or the like from a network or a recording medium.
The computer may be a computer built into dedicated hardware. Also, the computer may be a computer capable of executing various functions by installing various programs, such as a general-purpose personal computer.

A recording medium containing such a program is not only constituted by a removable medium that is distributed separately from the main body of the device in order to provide the program to the user, but is also provided to the user in a state pre-installed in the main body of the device. It consists of a recording medium, etc. Removable media are composed of, for example, magnetic disks (including floppy disks), optical disks, or magneto-optical disks. Optical discs are composed of, for example, CD-ROMs (Compact Disk-Read Only Memory Y), DVDs (Digital Versatile Disks), and the like. The magneto-optical disk is composed of an MD (MINI DISK) or the like. Further, the recording medium provided to the user while pre-installed in the device main body is composed of, for example, a ROM in which the program is recorded, a hard disk included in the storage unit, or the like.

In this specification, the steps of writing a program recorded on a recording medium are not only processes that are performed chronologically in that order, but also processes that are not necessarily chronologically processed, and that are performed in parallel or individually. It also includes the processing to be executed.
Further, in this specification, the term "system" means an overall device composed of a plurality of devices, a plurality of means, or the like.

The system configuration shown in FIG. 1 is merely an example for achieving the object of the present invention, and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient that the information processing system is provided with a function capable of executing the role of each device, and furthermore, each device may be directly connected without going through a network.

Each hardware configuration shown in FIG. 5 is merely an example for achieving the object of the present invention, and is not particularly limited. For example, one piece of hardware may have the functions of other pieces of hardware, or multiple pieces of hardware having the same function may be included.

Also, the functional configuration in FIG. 6 is merely an example, and is not particularly limited. That is, it is sufficient that the server 1 has a function capable of executing the above-described series of processes as a whole, and what kind of functional blocks are used to realize this function is not particularly limited to the example of FIG.
Also, one functional block may be composed of hardware alone, software alone, or a combination thereof.

The service provider M can provide the rental warehouse service P at a fixed rate, for example, the usage fee of the rental warehouse service P and the delivery fee of the package.
The deposit management unit 121 can also have a function of selecting an appropriate warehouse according to the type of package for which collection instructions have been received. For example, if the item to be picked up is clothes, a warehouse that can maintain an environment where mold and the like are less likely to grow can be selected by appropriately managing temperature, humidity, and the like.
The delivery company G may or may not have the same person in charge at the time of collection and delivery of the package. In addition, the delivery company G does not have to be a person who independently operates a delivery business, and may be a staff member of the service provider M.

The image management unit 104 may acquire the captured image of the parcel from an information processing device other than the delivery terminal 4 . For example, it may be acquired from the employee terminal 3 .

There are no particular restrictions on the baggage that can be deposited using the rental warehouse service P. Any article that has a predetermined volume and can be actually stored in a warehouse may be used. Examples include bedding, clothes, shoes, camping equipment, books, albums, toys, sporting goods, trunk cases, seasonal home appliances, Christmas trees, and dolls.

Also, for example, in the above-described embodiment, the luggage deposited in the virtual space (for example, the allocated space ES) is only stored, but the luggage deposited in the virtual space can be subject to Internet auction. An auction (auction) is a competition of purchase terms offered by one or more parties in order to sell an item placed on a market for the purpose of sale to the person who offers the best purchase terms. An Internet auction is an auction that is held on the Internet. It should be noted that placing an item on an Internet auction for the purpose of sale is called "exhibition", and an item to be put up for sale is called "exhibited item". A person who puts up an article is called an "exhibitor" or a "seller", and a person who presents purchase conditions for the put up article is called a "bidder" or a "buyer". Furthermore, the buyer who offers the best purchase conditions is called a "successful bidder".

The general flow of Internet auctions is as follows. That is, the exhibitor sends image information based on the captured image of the exhibit and information on the exhibit including the price (hereinafter referred to as "exhibit information") to the administrator of the Internet auction (hereinafter referred to as the "auction manager"). ). The auction manager solicits bidders by posting the provided article information on a website dedicated to Internet auctions (hereinafter referred to as an "auction site") for a predetermined period of time. If there are multiple bidders, the auction manager selects the bidder who offers the best purchase conditions (for example, highest price) as the "winner". When the exhibitor confirms that the payment has been made according to the purchase conditions presented by the successful bidder, the exhibitor sends the exhibited item to the successful bidder. Specifically, the exhibitor packs the exhibit and sends the packaged exhibit by postal mail or parcel delivery service.
As described above, conventionally, a seller (exhibitor) who puts up an article on an Internet auction performs four tasks of (1) photographing, (2) pricing, (3) packing, and (4) shipping. had to do. However, many of those who could not secure the time to perform these tasks or those who were not good at these tasks gave up on exhibiting.

Therefore, by subjecting the luggage deposited in the allocated space ES to the Internet auction, the seller (exhibitor) can easily put up the luggage without performing the above-described operations (1) to (4). can be done. Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 10, a specific example will be described in which packages deposited in the allocated space ES are subject to an Internet auction.

FIG. 10 is an image diagram showing a specific example of a case where packages deposited in the allocated space ES are targeted for an Internet auction.

Employee E1 is a person entitled to use the allocated space ES1. In the allocated space ES1, the clothes O1, the Christmas tree O2, and the dolls for dolls O3 are initially stored in a state of being packed in storage members L1 to L3, respectively. Also, employee E2 is a person who is granted the right to use the allocated space ES2. Nothing is initially stored in the allocated space ES2. However, in reality, the clothes O1, the Christmas tree O2, and the dolls O3 are stored in a predetermined space in the warehouse SH while being packed in the storage members L1 to L3.
In FIG. 10, the relationship between employee E1 and employee E2 is not particularly limited. They may be employees of the same company C, or they may be completely unrelated people. In other words, it is sufficient for those who use the virtual space according to the present invention, including the allocated space ES.

Here, the employee E1 operates the employee terminal 3-1 to put up the clothes O1 on the Internet auction site, and the employee E2 operates the employee terminal 3-2 to make a successful bid for the clothes O1. assume.
As a result, in the allocated space ES1, the Christmas tree O2 and the Hina dolls O3 are stored while being packed in the storage members L2 and L3, respectively. Also, in the allocated space ES2, the clothes O1 are stored in a state of being packed in the storage member L1. However, as described above, the clothes O1, the Christmas tree O2, and the dolls O3 are actually stored in a predetermined space in the warehouse SH while being packed in the storage members L1 to L3. .

Conventionally, when the clothes O1 are put up for auction on the Internet, the employee E1 is required to perform the above-described (1) photographing operation. However, since the clothes O1 have already been photographed when they are stored in the allocated space ES1, they do not need to be photographed again when they are put up for auction on the Internet. As a result, (1) the operation of photographing can be omitted.

Further, when putting up clothes O1 in an Internet auction, conventionally, the employee E1 had to perform the above-described (2) pricing work. However, the clothes O1 can receive an appraisal service for pricing while being stored in the allocated space ES1. Therefore, there is no need to re-price the item when it is put up for auction on the Internet. This makes it possible to omit (2) the work of pricing.
The timing of appraisal for pricing is not particularly limited, and may be at the time of photographing or at a point in time when a predetermined period of time (for example, three years) has elapsed since storage in the allocated space ES1 was started. good too.
In addition, the method of pricing is not particularly limited, and for example, pricing may be performed by an appraiser specializing in antiques, or pricing based on the market price of other similar items stored in the virtual space. may be performed.

Further, in the Internet auction, when the successful bidder for the article (clothes O1) is determined, the employee E1 has conventionally had to perform the above-described (3) packing work. However, while the clothes O1 are stored in the allocated space ES1, packing services for shipping can be received. Therefore, there is no need to pack the product when sending it to the employee E2 who is the buyer. As a result, (3) packing work can be omitted. According to the packing service, clothes O1 can be packed using a cosmetic box P as shown in FIG. 10, for example. In addition, although not shown in the drawings, it is also possible to carry out elaborate packing by a packing professional.

Further, in the Internet auction, when the successful bidder for the article (clothes O1) is determined, the employee E1 has conventionally had to perform the above-described (4) shipping work. However, even if the clothes O1 are sold by the employee E1 to the employee E2, they are still stored in the warehouse SH, so there is no need to ship them. This makes it possible to omit (4) shipping work. In other words, although the contents of the allocated space ES change as a result of the sale, the physical items stored in the warehouse SH are not affected. As a result, Internet auctions can be traded without considering shipping costs.
In addition to the trading format in which purchase conditions are competed, such as Internet auctions, it is also possible to conduct transactions without considering shipping costs, not only in trading formats in which the buyer decides immediately without competing purchase conditions. Become.
Further, when the employee E2, who is the buyer, wishes to have the clothes O1 that he won a bid for delivered to his home H, the employee E2 operates the employee terminal 3-2 to deliver the clothes O1. can be requested. In this case, the delivery company G delivers the clothes O1 stored in the warehouse SH to the home H of the employee E2 according to the contents displayed on the delivery terminal 4. FIG.

As described above, according to the information processing apparatus to which the present invention is applied, it is possible to easily change the owner in the virtual space while keeping the actual item as it is in the warehouse SH. Therefore, the present invention can be applied to various services targeting BtoC (Business to Consumer) and BtoB (Business to Business) in addition to the above-mentioned auction based on CtoC (Consumer to Consumer). Become.
Specifically, for example, a service that allows a person who is having trouble disposing of an item stored in a virtual space (for example, an allocated space ES) to choose between selling or discarding the item by appraising the item. can also be provided. Also, for example, when storing an item, instead of keeping it unconditionally, after appraising the value of the item, it would be better to sell it rather than store it, buy another item and store it. It is also possible to provide a service to send advice such as.

Further, for example, each of the employees E1 to En in the above-described embodiment lends (rents), gives, or donates (hereinafter referred to as " (referred to as “loans, etc.”). In this case, for example, even if the employee E1 lends a package to the employee E2, the package is still stored in the warehouse SH unless the employee E2 uses the lent package immediately. It has become. As a result, the employee E1 does not have to worry about sending the package to the employee E2. That is, although the contents of the allocated space ES change due to lending or the like, the physical items stored in the warehouse SH are not affected, so the shipping itself is unnecessary and the shipping cost is not incurred. As a result, lending can be performed without considering the shipping costs that would otherwise be incurred with lending.
It should be noted that persons who can lend (rent), give, donate, trade, etc. to each other are not limited to the employee E, and can be all users who receive the provision of this service.

In other words, the information processing apparatus to which the present invention is applied can take various embodiments having the following configurations.
That is, an information processing apparatus (for example, the server 1 in FIG. 6) to which the present invention is applied is
An information processing device that manages a virtual space (for example, a company-owned space CS) of a predetermined volume in which a second user's luggage that is tied to a first user (for example, company C in FIG. 1) is deposited,
Granting means for granting a first right to use the virtual space of a predetermined volume to the first user who manages one or more second users (e.g. employees E1 to En in FIG. 1);
A second right to use at least part of the virtual space of the predetermined volume (for example, a right to use each of the allocated spaces ES1 to ESn) is granted from the first user to each of the one or more second users. Deposit management means (e.g. deposit in FIG. a management unit 121);
Monitoring means for monitoring so that the sum of units based on the volume of each of the one or more second users managed by the deposit management means does not exceed a reference amount set based on the predetermined volume. (For example, the monitoring unit 112 in FIG. 6),
Prepare.
This allows company C to easily provide employee E with the right to use the rental warehouse service as one of the benefits provided to employee E.

In addition, the deposit management means assigns one or more second identifiers capable of distinguishing and specifying each of the one or more second users from a first identifier (for example, a company ID) capable of specifying the first user. (e.g., employee IDs 1 to n) are associated with each of the second identifiers of each of the one or more second users, and the luggage to be deposited (e.g., luggage D1 to D3) is stored in units based on the volume. managed by dividing into
The monitoring means can perform the monitoring based on the first identifier and the one or more second identifiers.
As a result, the server 1 can efficiently perform monitoring using company IDs and employee IDs.
