[0128] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In addition, in this specification and the accompanying drawings, for components having substantially the same functional structure, the same reference numerals are added to omit repeated description.

[0129] In addition, in this specification and the drawings, sometimes different letters are added after the same symbol to distinguish multiple structural elements having substantially the same functional structure. However, when it is not necessary to distinguish multiple structural elements having substantially the same functional structure, the multiple structural elements are only marked with the same symbol.

[0130] <<1. Overview of information processing system according to one embodiment of the present invention>>

[0131] First, an overview of an information processing system that enables an agent serving as an agent of a receiver to smoothly receive cargo in an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

[0132] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is an explanatory diagram of an overview of an information processing system according to the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, there are a receiving terminal 10, an agent terminal 20, an agent authentication server 30, a holding device 40 and a network 50. Figure 1As shown, the receptionist terminal 10 , the proxy terminal 20 , the proxy authentication server 30 , and the holding device 40 are configured to be able to communicate via a network 50 .

[0133] The receiver terminal 10 is an information processing terminal used by the receiver who specifies the name of the consignee of the cargo. The receiver terminal 10 sends designation information, which specifies the candidate of the agent who can receive the cargo on behalf of the receiver, to the agent authentication server 30.

[0134] The receiving person, for example, designates a specific person as a candidate for the agent. Thus, the receiving person can entrust the designated specific person with the receiving agent. In addition, the specific person is preferably a family member, a friend, an administrator of a landing field of a mobile body for delivering goods, or an organizer of a neighborhood committee, etc., as a person who is suitable for receiving goods as an agent of the receiving person. The designated information may be information that designates which type of these agent candidates is, or information that indicates identification information of a specific agent candidate.

[0135] In addition, the receiving terminal 10 sends a request to the agent authentication server 30 to make the person indicated by the designated information assist in the receiving agent of the goods. The receiving terminal 10 can make the agent authentication server 30 recruit agents by sending the agent assistance request. The agent assistance request can refer to the designated information and be sent to the person indicated by the designated information at the same time, and can also refer to the priority information related to the designated information pre-set by the receiving person and send it to each agent candidate type in the order indicated by the priority information. In the case of sending it sequentially for each agent candidate type, it can also be sent sequentially after each predetermined deadline. The deadline information can be set separately for each agent candidate type, or it can be set commonly.

[0136] The agent terminal 20 is an information processing terminal used by an agent candidate or an agent (strictly speaking, before being determined as an agent, they may be candidates for agents, but are sometimes collectively referred to as agents). The agent terminal 20 receives an agent request for a cargo receiving agent and an agent recruitment notice from the agent authentication server 30. In addition, the agent terminal 20 sends a notice to the agent authentication server 30 whether the agent can receive cargo through an approval operation on an application program.

[0137] In addition, the agent terminal 20 transmits an authentication request to the agent authentication server 30 as a request for authentication of receipt of the delivered goods.

[0138] The receiving terminal 10 and the agent terminal 20 are information processing terminals such as personal computers, tablet terminals, smart phones, mobile phones, personal handy-phone systems (PHS), and personal digital assistants (PDAs). Figure 1 In the illustrated example, the receptionist terminal 10 is a personal computer, the agent terminal 20A is a tablet terminal, and the agent terminal 20B is a smartphone.

[0139] The agent authentication server 30 is an example of an information processing device, and is a server that performs authentication processing to determine whether a request for receiving authentication of delivered goods is an authentication performed by an authorized agent. For example, the agent authentication server 30 can be a general-purpose computer such as a workstation or a PC, or can be a cloud server.

[0140] In addition, when the agent authentication server 30 receives the designation information of the candidate of the agent from the receiving terminal 10 (or refers to the designation information received in advance), it sends a proxy request to the agent terminal 20 used by the candidate of the agent. In addition, when the agent authentication server 30 receives the proxy assistance request from the receiving terminal 10, it selects the candidate of the agent. Then, the agent authentication server 30 sends a recruitment notice of the agent to the agent terminal 20 used by the selected candidate of the agent. Then, when the agent authentication server 30 receives the notification that the agent can receive the goods as an agent from the agent terminal 20, it recognizes the candidate of the agent using the agent terminal 20 as an agent.

[0141] In addition, the agent authentication server 30 performs authentication processing when receiving an authentication request from the agent terminal 20, and determines whether the request for receiving authentication of the delivered goods is an authentication performed by the authorized agent. When the agent authentication server 30 determines that the request is from the agent, that is, the authentication is successful, it controls the holding device 40 so that the goods can be taken out from the holding device 40. As a result, since people other than the authorized agent cannot take out the goods of the recipient, the risk of the goods being stolen can be reduced. In addition, the authentication request is not limited to being received from the agent terminal 20, and identification information for authentication such as an authentication code (for example, goods identification information, delivery identification information, user identification information, agent identification information, etc.) can be sent from the agent terminal 20 to the holding device 40, and sent from the holding device 40 to the agent authentication server 30. In addition, the authentication request can be received from the holding device 40 or the proxy request can be received from the recipient terminal 10, and the holding device 40 can obtain the authentication information in advance, and the authentication processing can be performed by the holding device 40. These are all examples and are not limited to these.

[0142] The holding device 40 is a device capable of holding goods. The holding device 40 is not particularly limited as long as it can hold goods. The holding device 40 may be, for example, an unmanned mobile body that moves by autonomous control using input information related to the positions of two locations such as the starting point of the delivery of goods (for example, the delivery start position of the goods L or the movement start position of the unmanned mobile body 10B) and the end point (for example, the receiving position of the goods L) or further including three or more locations such as a transfer location (for example, the receiving position of the goods L in the case of delivery accompanied by the receipt of the goods L) or a return location (for example, the same location as the movement start position of the unmanned mobile body 10 or a different waiting location, etc.). In addition, the holding device 40 may be an unmanned mobile body that moves by remote operation using operation information input by a remote operator who manages the unmanned mobile body.

[0143] The unmanned mobile body may be, for example, a drone that moves by autonomous control, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that moves by remote control by an administrator, an unmanned vehicle (UGV) that moves on the ground, or a ship that moves on water such as the ocean or a river. In addition, the unmanned mobile body may be a mobile body that can move on at least two or more paths on land, water, and in the air.

[0144] In addition, the unmanned mobile object may be a mobile object that can move on at least two or more paths among land, water, and air.

[0145] In addition, the holding device 40 may be a courier box that is set outdoors and can store the delivered goods. In addition, the courier box can hold the goods released from the unmanned mobile body, and it is particularly preferred to have a mechanism that automatically takes the goods into the courier box relative to the unmanned mobile body 10B. In addition, the holding device 40 may be a storage unit that is separated from the unmanned mobile body and delivered at the same time as the goods, or a storage device with an electronic lock that stores the goods. When the holding device 40 is determined to be successfully authenticated by the agent authentication server 30, the held goods can be extracted according to the control performed by the agent authentication server 30. In the case where the courier box has an electronic lock function, the storage unit that stores the goods can be unlocked according to the information related to unlocking sent from the agent authentication server 30 to the agent terminal 20. The information related to unlocking may be an unlocking code, or the agent may directly operate the storage box to input the unlocking code, or the agent terminal 20 may communicate to input the unlocking code.

[0146] The network 50 is a wired or wireless transmission path for information sent from a device connected to the network 50. For example, the network 50 may include a public network such as the Internet, a telephone line network, a satellite communication network, various local area networks (LAN) or wide area networks (WAN) including Ethernet (registered trademark), etc. In addition, the network 50 may include a dedicated line network such as an Internet Protocol Virtual Private Network (IP-VPN).

[0147] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the recognition and authentication of an agent by the agent authentication server 30 according to the present invention. The receiving person R transmits a designation of an agent candidate as a candidate of the agent P or an agent assistance request using the receiving person terminal 10. The agent candidate who has transmitted a notification that he can receive the goods L to the agent authentication server 30 is recognized as the agent P by the agent authentication server 30. The recognized agent P receives the goods L from the holding device 40 after being authenticated by the agent authentication server 30.

[0148] In addition, the delivery mechanism of the cargo L is not particularly limited. For example, the delivery mechanism of the cargo L may be a manned mobile body such as a vehicle moving on land, an aircraft flying in the sky, or a ship moving on water such as an ocean or a river. In addition, the delivery mechanism of the cargo L may be an unmanned mobile body as described above.

[0149] Furthermore, the delivery mechanism for the cargo L and the holding device 40 may be the same unmanned mobile body or different unmanned mobile bodies.

[0150] <<2. Functional Configuration Example of This Embodiment>>

[0151] <2-1. Functional Configuration Example of Receiving Person Terminal 10>

[0152] The above is a description of the overview of the information processing system according to the embodiment of the present invention. Next, a functional configuration example of the receptionist terminal 10 will be described.

[0153] Figure 3 1 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the receiving terminal 10. Figure 3 As shown, the receptionist terminal 10 includes a communication unit 110 , an operation display unit 120 , and a control unit 130 .

[0154] (Ministry of Communications)

[0155] The communication unit 110 is connected to the agent authentication server 30 for communication via the network 50 to transmit and receive data. For example, the communication unit 110 transmits to the agent authentication server 30 the designation of an agent candidate and a request for agent assistance.

[0156] In addition, the communication unit 110 receives information about the agent P related to the goods L, such as the approval status of the agent P related to the goods L of the recipient R specified by the addressee name and the result of authentication performed by the agent authentication server 30, from the agent authentication server 30.

[0157] (Operation display)

[0158] The operation display unit 120 includes a function as an operation unit that is operated by the recipient R to input instructions or information to the recipient terminal 10, and a function as a display unit that displays various information in accordance with the control of the control unit 130. For example, when the recipient R operates the operation display unit 120, the communication unit 110 transmits designated information or a proxy assistance request to the proxy authentication server 30.

[0159] The receiving person R can specify the candidate of the agent related to the goods L for each of the goods L by operating the operation display unit 120. In addition, the receiving person R can pre-set one or more candidates of the agent by operating the operation display unit 120. In this case, the receiving person R can operate the operation display unit 120, and the communication unit 110 sends a notification to the agent authentication server 30 that the one or more candidates of the agent set in advance are designated as the candidates of the agent related to the goods L. Thus, the cumbersomeness of the receiving person R specifying the candidate of the agent for each of the goods L can be eliminated. In addition, the receiving person R can select a part of the candidates of the agent from the plurality of candidates of the agent set in advance by operating the operation display unit 120, thereby specifying the candidate of the agent related to the goods L.

[0160] In addition, the operation display unit 120 displays information such as the approval status of the agent P and the result of authentication by the agent authentication server 30 , which are transmitted from the agent authentication server 30 to the communication unit 110 .

[0161] (Control Department)

[0162] The control unit 130 controls the overall operation of the receiving terminal 10. For example, the control unit 130 transmits information such as the designated information or the proxy assistance request acquired by the operation display unit 120 to the communication unit 110. In addition, the control unit 130 causes the operation display unit 120 to display information such as the approval status of the proxy P received by the communication unit 110 from the proxy authentication server 30 and the result of authentication performed by the proxy authentication server 30.

[0163] <2-2. Functional Configuration Example of Agent Terminal 20>

[0164] The functional configuration example of the receptionist terminal 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, the functional configuration example of the proxy terminal 20 will be described.

[0165] Figure 4 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the agent terminal 20. Figure 4 As shown, the agent terminal 20 includes a sensor unit 210 , a communication unit 220 , a reading unit 230 , an operation display unit 240 , and a control unit 250 .

[0166] (Sensor part)

[0167] The sensor unit 210 is a sensor for detecting the current position of the agent terminal 20. The sensor unit 210 can detect the current position of the agent terminal 20 using, for example, a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS).

[0168] (Ministry of Communications)

[0169] The communication unit 220 is connected to the agent authentication server 30 via the network 50 to perform data transmission and reception. The communication unit 220 receives an agent request for entrusting an agent to receive the goods L and an agent recruitment notice from the agent authentication server 30. In addition, the communication unit 220 notifies the agent authentication server 30 whether the goods L input into the operation display unit 240 can be received by the agent. In addition, the communication unit 220 sends the location information of the agent terminal 20 obtained by the sensor unit 210 to the agent authentication server 30. In addition, the communication unit 220 sends an authentication request to the agent authentication server 30. The authentication request includes identification information related to the goods L or the holding device 40 read by the reading unit 230.

[0170] (Reading part)

[0171] The reading unit 230 reads identification information related to the goods L or the holding device 40. The reading unit 230 reads identification information from various information codes such as barcodes or two-dimensional codes printed or displayed on the goods L or the holding device 40 by, for example, a camera. In addition, the reading unit 230 can read various information codes attached to the goods L or the holding device 40. The reading unit 230 is not limited to a camera, and can read the identification information of the goods L or the holding device 40 by, for example, a non-contact type or contact type IC card reader. In addition, the reading unit 230 can be an input device such as a keyboard. In this case, the agent P inputs the character string displayed on the screen or printed on the goods L or the holding device 40 as identification information to the input device. In addition, the reading unit 230 can read the appearance of the goods L or the holding device 40. In this case, the read appearance is sent to the agent authentication server 30 as an image by the communication unit 220, and the agent authentication server 30 converts the image into identification information by image recognition.

[0172] (Operation display)

[0173] The operation display unit 240 includes a function of functioning as an operation unit operated by the agent P or the agent candidate to input instructions or information to the agent terminal 20, and a function of functioning as a display unit that displays various information in accordance with the control of the control unit 250. For example, the operation display unit 240 displays an agent request from the recipient R and an agent recruitment notice sent from the agent authentication server 30 to the communication unit 220. In addition, the agent candidate inputs whether or not he can receive the goods L as an agent by operating the operation display unit 240.

[0174] (Control Department)

[0175] The control unit 250 controls the overall operation of the agent terminal 20. For example, the control unit 250 sends the notification of whether the goods L can be received as an agent obtained by the operation display unit 240 to the communication unit 220. In addition, the control unit 250 causes the operation display unit 240 to display information such as the agent request and agent recruitment notification received by the communication unit 220 from the agent authentication server 30.

[0176] <2-3. Functional Configuration Example of Agent Authentication Server 30>

[0177] The functional configuration example of the agent terminal 20 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, the functional configuration example of the agent authentication server 30 will be described.

[0178] Figure 5 30 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the agent authentication server 30. Figure 5As shown, the receiving terminal 10 includes a communication unit 310 , a storage unit 320 , and a control unit 330 .

[0179] (Ministry of Communications)

[0180] The communication unit 310 communicates with the receiving terminal 10 and the agent terminal 20 via the network 50. For example, the communication unit 310 receives the designated information and the agent request from the receiving terminal 10. In addition, the communication unit 310 sends the receiving terminal 10 the approval status of the agent P related to the goods L of the receiving person R designated by the addressee name and the result of the reception authentication of the goods L. For example, when the communication unit 310 receives the notification that the agent reception cannot be performed from the agent terminal 20 (or when the agent terminal 20 determines that the prescribed recruitment period has passed or the prescribed recruitment deadline has arrived), it sends to the receiving terminal 10 that the agent cannot perform the agent.

[0181] In addition, the communication unit 310 transmits information on the goods L that can be received by the receiving person R as a proxy, which is stored in the storage unit 320, to the agent terminal 20 used by the agent candidate. In addition, the communication unit 310 transmits a proxy request and a recruitment notice of an agent to the agent terminal 20. In addition, the communication unit 310 receives a notice of whether the goods L can be received as a proxy from the agent terminal 20. In addition, the communication unit 310 receives an authentication request from the agent terminal 20.

[0182] (Storage Department)

[0183] The storage unit 320 stores programs and various data for operating the control unit 330. For example, the storage unit 320 stores the receiver information which is the information of the receiver R. The receiver information refers to information such as the receiver's name, the receiver's name within the service, email address, address or telephone number, various basic information, account information of external applications, and payment information (credit card information, etc.). In addition, the storage unit 320 stores one or more candidates of agents pre-set by the receiver R. In addition, the receiver information may include the above-mentioned designated information. However, the receiver information is not limited to these.

[0184] In addition, the storage unit 320 stores information about candidate agents. The information about candidate agents refers to information such as the name of the candidate agent, the name of the candidate agent within the service, email address, telephone number, gender, age, and external application account information. In addition, the storage unit 320 can store information about the candidate agent related to the reception of goods L. The information related to the reception of goods L refers to information such as the training status of the prescribed training related to the receiving agency of goods L, the desired receiving area, ID card information (including driver's license information), remittance account information, agent reception history information, etc. The prescribed training related to the receiving agency of goods L refers to, for example, training for receiving goods L from an unmanned aerial vehicle. However, the information about candidate agents is not limited to this.

[0185] The storage unit 320 stores a recipient ID and an agent ID which are identification information for uniquely identifying a recipient R using the recipient terminal 10 and an agent candidate using the agent terminal 20 .

[0186] In addition, the storage unit 320 stores information related to the cargo L of the receiver R specified by the recipient name using the receiver terminal 10. The information related to the cargo L includes, for example, identification information of the cargo L, the scheduled arrival time of the cargo L, whether the cargo L is frozen, whether the cargo L is a handle item that needs to be handled carefully, such as a non-stacking item, a fresh item, a fragile item, and a delivery mechanism for the cargo L. In addition, the information related to the cargo L may also include information on whether the agent P needs to receive the cargo L from the unmanned aerial vehicle. In addition, as the information related to the cargo L, the above-mentioned designation information may be included, and the agent candidate may be set for each cargo.

[0187] The storage unit 320 also stores a database of identification information of the cargo L, a receiver R specified by the name of the consignee of the cargo L, and information on an authorized agent P who can receive the cargo L. Figure 6 3 is a diagram showing an example of a database stored in the storage unit 320. Figure 6 As shown, the storage unit 320 stores a database including a receiver ID and an agent ID associated with the cargo ID as identification information of the cargo L. The authentication unit 332 described in detail below Figure 6 The database shown performs receipt authentication of the cargo L.

[0188] (Control Department)

[0189] The control unit 330 controls the overall operation of the proxy authentication server 30. For example, the control unit 330 controls the storage unit 320 to store information received by the communication unit 310 from the reception terminal 10 and the proxy terminal 20. In this embodiment, the control unit 330 functions as a proxy recognition unit 331 and an authentication unit 332.

[0190] (Agency Personnel Approval Department)

[0191] The agent approval unit 331 controls the communication unit 310 to transmit information to the agent terminal 20 based on the information received from the reception terminal 10. The agent approval unit 331 also approves the agent P based on the information received from the agent terminal 20 by the communication unit 310.

[0192] For example, when the communication unit 310 receives the designated information on the goods L from the receptionist terminal 10, the agent approval unit 331 controls the communication unit 310 to transmit an agent request for receiving the goods L to the agent terminal 20 used by the agent candidate.

[0193] Furthermore, when the communication unit 310 receives a notification that a candidate of a pre-set agent is designated as a candidate of an agent related to the goods L from the receiving person terminal 10, the agent recognition unit 331 controls the communication unit 310 so as to send a proxy request to the agent terminal 20 used by the agent candidate. Furthermore, when the communication unit 310 receives a notification that the goods L can be received from the agent terminal 20 that sent the proxy request, the agent recognition unit 331 recognizes the candidate of the agent using the agent terminal 20 as the agent P. Thus, the receiving person R can have a specific person receive the goods L as a proxy.

[0194] In addition, the agent recognition unit 331 selects an agent candidate when the communication unit 310 receives an agent assistance request related to the goods L from the receiving person terminal 10. The agent recognition unit 331 may select an agent candidate who receives the goods L as an agent based on the position information of the agent candidate received from the agent terminal 20 by the communication unit 310, instead of or in addition to the setting of the type of the agent candidate based on the above-mentioned designation information. That is, the agent recognition unit 331 may select an agent candidate whose position information of the agent candidate is within a prescribed range from the receiving position indicated by the information related to the receiving position, and transmit the agent request.

[0195] The agent approval unit 331 can refer to the information about the goods L and the information about the agent candidates stored in the storage unit 320 to select the agent candidate who receives the goods L as an agent. For example, when the storage unit 320 stores information that specifies an agency where the agent P receives the goods L from the unmanned aerial vehicle as a receiving agency, the agent approval unit 331 can select the agent candidate who is stored in the storage unit 320 as a person who has received the prescribed training about the receiving agency of the goods L as the agent candidate related to the goods L.

[0196] The agent recognition unit 331 controls the communication unit 310 so as to send an agent recruitment notice to the agent terminal 20 used by the selected agent candidate. The agent recruitment notice may include information related to the goods L. The agent candidate can determine whether he can accept the goods L by confirming the information related to the goods L.

[0197] In addition, the agent recruitment notice may include remuneration information. Remuneration information refers to information related to the remuneration that the agent candidate can receive as an agent P by receiving the goods L as an agent of the receiver R. The remuneration may be money, points with service or monetary value, etc. The content of the remuneration may be determined by the receiver R using the receiver terminal 10 that sent the agent assistance request, or may be a prescribed content (for example, a remuneration content common among agents, or a remuneration content corresponding to the agent's historical agency results, or a remuneration content corresponding to information related to the goods such as the weight of the goods, etc.).

[0198] Figure 7 FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of an agent recruitment notice sent to the agent terminal 20. Figure 7 As shown, the agent recruitment notice includes the receiving location of the goods L, the scheduled time of receiving, and remarks (for example, Figure 7 In addition, the candidate agent can send a notification that the goods L can be received to the agent authentication server 30 by performing an approval operation such as selecting an approval button displayed on the agent terminal 20. Thus, even if there is no specific person to whom the receiving person R can entrust the receiving of the goods L, the receiving person R can receive the goods L that he cannot receive by proxy.

[0199] Furthermore, the agent candidate confirms the information displayed on the agent terminal 20, and if the agent candidate does not meet the agent candidate's expectations, the agent can be rejected by performing a rejection operation such as selecting a button to return to the home page or selecting a button indicating rejection.

[0200] When receiving a notification that the goods L can be received from the agent terminal 20 that sent the agent recruitment notification through the communication unit 310, the agent approval unit 331 approves the candidate of the agent using the agent terminal 20 as the agent P. In addition, a confirmation notification is sent to the receiving person before approval. When the receiving person performs an approval operation in response to the confirmation notification, the agent approval unit 331 may approve the goods by receiving the operation, or the agent approval unit 331 may approve the goods without such an approval operation by the receiving person.

[0201] In addition, the communication unit 310 may send an agent recruitment notice to multiple agent candidates. In this case, the agent approval unit 331 may select an agent from the multiple agent candidates. For example, the agent approval unit 331 may approve the agent candidate who uses the agent terminal 20 that first sent the agent recruitment notice or the notification that the goods L can be received as the agent P.

[0202] (Certification Department)

[0203] The authentication unit 332 performs authentication processing to determine whether the request for receiving authentication of the delivered goods L is a request from the agent P approved by the agent approval unit 331. The authentication unit 332 performs authentication processing, for example, when the communication unit 310 receives the authentication request from the agent terminal 20. The authentication unit 332 performs authentication processing by referring to the database stored in the storage unit 320 and checking the goods ID and the agent ID. If the authentication is that the goods ID included in the authentication request is associated with the agent ID of the agent P using the agent terminal 20, the authentication unit 332 determines that the request for receiving authentication of the goods L is a request from the approved agent P. In this case, the authentication unit 332 determines that the authentication is successful. On the other hand, if the authentication is that the goods ID is not associated with the agent ID of the agent P, the authentication unit 332 determines that the request for receiving authentication of the goods L is not an authentication of the approved agent P. In this case, the authentication unit 332 determines that the authentication is unsuccessful.

[0204] In addition, the authentication unit 332 can perform authentication of the agent P in response to the authentication request from the agent terminal 20 based on the identification information related to the holding device 40. In this case, it is necessary to establish a relationship between the received identification information related to the holding device 40 and the goods ID of the goods L held by the holding device 40. Therefore, when the authentication unit 332 performs authentication based on the identification information related to the holding device 40, when the goods L is held by the holding device 40, the identification information related to the holding device 40 is associated with the goods ID of the goods L, and the goods are stored in the database stored in the storage unit 320. When the authentication unit 332 verifies that the goods ID of the goods L associated with the identification information related to the holding device 40 included in the authentication request is associated with the agent ID of the agent P using the agent terminal 20, it determines that the authentication is successful.

[0205] In addition, when the authentication unit 332 determines that the delivery goods L has been successfully authenticated, the holding device 40 is controlled so that the goods L can be taken out from the holding device 40 holding the goods L via the communication unit 310. According to the above structure, the goods L can be smoothly received by the agent P. In addition, when the goods L are managed by the goods manager without using the holding device 40, an authentication request may be sent from the agent terminal 20 to the goods manager terminal (not shown), and the authentication process may be started by the agent authentication server 30 via the goods manager terminal, or the identification information (for example, various information codes such as barcodes or two-dimensional codes) used for the authentication request obtained by either the agent terminal 20 or the goods manager terminal from the agent authentication server 30 may be read by the other party through a camera or the like, thereby starting the authentication process by the authentication unit 332, or the authentication process may be started by reading various information codes attached or printed on the goods L by the reading unit of the agent terminal 20.

[0206] <2-4. Functional Configuration Example of Holding Device 40>

[0207] The functional configuration example of the proxy authentication server 30 according to the embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, the functional configuration example of the holding device 40 will be described.

[0208] Figure 8 40 is an explanatory diagram showing the internal structure of the holding device 40. Figure 8 As shown, the holding device 40 includes a communication unit 410 , a holding unit 420 , and a control unit 430 .

[0209] (Ministry of Communications)

[0210] The communication unit 410 communicates with the proxy authentication server 30 via the network 50. For example, the communication unit 410 receives an instruction for control of the holding unit 420 from the proxy authentication server 30.

[0211] (Maintaining part)

[0212] The holding unit 420 holds the goods L of the recipient R specified in the recipient name. The holding unit 420 can allow the agent P to pick up the goods L according to the control instruction received by the communication unit 410 from the agent authentication server 30. For example, the holding unit 420 can be in the shape of a box that can store the goods L and has a lid that can be opened and closed. In this case, the holding unit 420 can allow the agent P to pick up the goods L by allowing the lid to be opened. In addition, the holding unit 420 can hold the goods L in a manner that fixes the goods L by a fixing object such as a belt or a frame. In this case, the holding unit 420 can allow the agent P to pick up the goods L by removing a part of the fixing object. The structure of the holding unit 420 is not limited to these examples, as long as the goods L is held.

[0213] (Control Department)

[0214] The control unit 430 controls the overall operation of the holding device 40. For example, the control unit 430 controls the holding unit 420 so that the cargo L can be taken out from the holding unit 420 according to the control instruction of the holding unit 420 received from the agent authentication server 30 by the communication unit 410.

[0215] <<3. Example of operation processing in this embodiment>>

[0216] The functional configuration example of this embodiment of the present invention has been described above. Next, an operation processing example of this embodiment will be described.

[0217] Here, the receiver R, the agent candidate, and the agent P provided by the present information processing system can access the agent authentication server 30 using an application (including a web browser) and the like, and can perform a registration process and log in when using the service for the first time. In the case where an account has been obtained, for example, by inputting a user ID or a receiver ID and a password, etc., receiving a prescribed authentication and logging in, the service can be used. In addition, instead of an account, the service can be used by using a unique application ID associated with an application downloaded to the receiver terminal 10 or the agent terminal 20 as a user ID or a receiver ID. After the login authentication, the service can be used via an application (including a web browser) and the like.

[0218] (Process approved by the agent)

[0219] First, the flow of agent authentication by the agent authentication server 30 will be described. Fig. 9 This is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the flow of the action processing of agent approval performed by the agent authentication server 30 involved in this embodiment. First, when the communication unit 310 receives the designation information of the designation of the agent candidate from the receiving terminal 10 (S104 / Yes), it sends a proxy request to the agent terminal 20 used by the designated agent candidate (S108).

[0220] On the other hand, when the designated information is not received from the receiving terminal 10 (S104 / No), the agent approval unit 331 determines whether the communication unit 310 has received an agent assistance request from the receiving terminal 10 (S112). When the communication unit 310 has received an agent assistance request from the receiving terminal 10 (S112 / Yes), the agent approval unit 331 selects an agent candidate (S116). Next, the communication unit 310 transmits an agent recruitment notice to the agent terminal 20 used by the selected agent candidate (S120).

[0221] On the other hand, when the communication unit 310 does not receive the proxy assistance request from the receptionist terminal 10 (S112 / No), the agent authentication server 30 ends the processing. When the communication unit 310 sends a proxy request (S108) or sends a recruitment notice of an agent (S120), the agent approval unit 331 determines whether the communication unit 310 has received a notice of proxy reception from the agent terminal 20 (S124). When the communication unit 310 receives a notice of proxy reception from the agent terminal 20 (S124 / Yes), the agent approval unit 331 approves the candidate of the agent as the agent P (S128), and the agent authentication server 30 ends the processing. When the communication unit 310 receives a notice of impossibility of proxy reception from the agent terminal 20 (S124 / No), the communication unit 310 sends a notice of impossibility of proxy reception to the receptionist terminal 10 used by the receptionist R (S132), and the agent authentication server 30 ends the processing.

[0222] (Authentication Process Flow)

[0223] Next, the flow of agent authentication by the agent authentication server 30 will be described. Fig.10 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the flow of the operation process of the authentication process performed by the agent authentication server 30 according to the present embodiment. Here, the cargo L is held in a manner that cannot be taken out from the holding device 40.

[0224] First, the authentication unit 332 determines whether an authentication request is received from the agent terminal 20 via the communication unit 310 (S204). If the communication unit 310 does not receive an authentication request from the agent terminal 20 (S204 / No), the authentication unit 332 controls the holding device 40 to continue holding the goods L, thereby preventing the goods L from being taken out of the holding device 40.

[0225] On the other hand, when the communication unit 310 receives an authentication request from the agent terminal 20 (S204 / Yes), the authentication unit 332 checks the goods ID included in the authentication request of the communication unit 310 with the agent ID of the agent P using the agent terminal 20 (S208). The authentication unit 332 determines whether the authentication is successful based on the result of the check (S212). When the authentication unit 332 checks the goods ID and the agent ID, it determines that the authentication is successful (S212 / Yes), and controls the holding device 40 so that the goods L can be extracted from the holding device 40 (S216). On the other hand, when the authentication unit 332 cannot check the goods ID and the agent ID, it determines that the authentication has failed (S212 / No), and controls the holding device 40 in a manner that the goods L is continuously held, so that the goods L cannot be extracted from the holding device 40 (S220). After the authentication unit 332 controls the holding device 40 , the communication unit 310 transmits the authentication result to the recipient terminal 10 used by the recipient R ( S224 ), and the proxy authentication server 30 ends the processing.

[0226] <<4. Modifications of this embodiment>>

[0227] The above describes an operation example of the proxy authentication server 30 of this embodiment. The technology involved in the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. First, the additional functions of the communication unit and the control unit in the components of the holding device 40 involved in this modification are described.

[0228] The communication unit 410 involved in this modification further has a function as an authentication communication unit capable of directly communicating with the agent terminal 20. The communication method used for communicating with the agent terminal 20 is not particularly limited, and for example, it is a short-range wireless communication such as Bluetooth (registered trademark)), wireless LAN, and Wi-Fi. The communication unit 410 receives an authentication request from the agent terminal 20, which includes the agent ID of the agent P using the agent terminal 20.

[0229] The control unit 430 according to the present modification further has a function as an authentication unit that performs authentication processing, and determines whether the request for receiving authentication of the delivered goods L is a request from an agent P recognized by the agent authentication server 30. The control unit 430 stores an agent ID of the recognized agent P who can receive the goods L held by the holding device 40 in a proxy manner. The agent ID may be sent to the communication unit 410 from the agent authentication server 30 in advance, or may be stored when the goods L are held by the holding device 40.

[0230] When the stored agent ID matches the agent ID received by the communication unit 410 from the agent terminal 20 , the control unit 430 controls the holding unit 420 so that the cargo L can be taken out from the holding unit 420 .

[0231] According to the information processing system of this modification, when the agent P is authenticated, the agent P is not communicated with the agent authentication server 30, and the control is performed so that the goods L can be taken out from the holding device 40. Therefore, when the holding device 40 is an unmanned mobile body, the agent P can perform authentication and receive the goods L even when the holding device 40 is parked in a place where communication with the agent authentication server 30 cannot be performed.

[0232] <<5. Hardware Structure>>

[0233] The information processing described above is realized by the cooperation of software and the hardware of the proxy authentication server 30 described below. In addition, the hardware structure described below can also be applied to the reception terminal 10, the proxy terminal 20 and the holding device 40.

[0234] Fig.11 1 is an explanatory diagram for explaining an example of the hardware configuration of the agent authentication server 30 according to the present embodiment. Fig.11 As shown, it includes a control unit 330 , a memory 31 , a storage 32 , a transceiver 33 , an input / output unit 34 , etc., which are electrically connected to each other via a bus 35 .

[0235] The control unit 330 controls the overall operation of the agent authentication server 30, and is a computing device that controls the transmission and reception of data between various elements, executes application programs, and performs information processing required for authentication processing. For example, the control unit 330 is a central processing unit (CPU) and / or a graphics processing unit (GPU), and executes programs for this system stored in the storage 32 and expanded in the memory 31, etc., and implements various information processing as described above.

[0236] The memory 31 includes a main storage, which is composed of a volatile storage device such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) and an auxiliary storage, which is composed of a non-volatile storage device such as a flash memory or a hard disk drive (HDD). The memory 31 is used as a work area of ​​the control unit 330 and stores a basic input / output system (BIOS) and various setting information executed by the agent authentication server 30 when it is started.

[0237] The memory 32 stores various programs such as application programs. A database storing data used for each process can be constructed in the memory 32 .

[0238] The transceiver 33 connects the agent authentication server 30 to the network and / or blockchain network. In addition, the transceiver 33 may have a short-range communication interface of Bluetooth (registered trademark) and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE).

[0239] The input / output unit 34 includes information input devices such as a keyboard, a microphone, and a mouse, and output devices such as a display and a speaker.

[0240] The bus 35 is commonly connected to the above-mentioned elements, and transmits, for example, address signals, data signals, and various control signals.

[0241] <<6.Supplement>>

[0242] The above, while referring to the attached Figure 1 While the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail, the present invention is not limited to these examples. Anyone with common knowledge in the technical field to which the present invention belongs can obviously think of various variations or modifications within the scope of the technical concept described in the claims, and these are of course understood to belong to the technical scope of the present invention.

[0243] For example, in the above embodiment, an example in which the cargo L is held by the holding device 40 is described, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. For example, the cargo L can be placed at a predetermined location such as a landing field of a mobile body such as a truck or an unmanned mobile body that delivers the cargo L. In this case, the communication unit 310 transmits the authentication result to the receiving person terminal 10 after the authentication unit 332 performs the authentication. According to the above structure, it is possible to more easily realize that the agent can smoothly receive the cargo L.

[0244] In this case, the agent terminal 20 can read the identification information from the information code displayed on the screen or printed on the take-off and landing field of the mobile body. The identification information read by the agent terminal 20 can be the identification information related to the specified place. When it is determined that the cargo L is placed at the specified place, the identification information is associated with the cargo ID and stored in the database of the storage unit 320, so that it can be authenticated by the authentication unit 332.

[0245] In addition, the goods L can be deposited with a goods manager who manages the goods L. In this case, when the authentication is successful, the communication unit 410 sends a notification of the completion of the authentication to the information processing terminal used by the goods manager who manages the goods L. The goods manager refers to a person such as a clerk in a convenience store, an administrator of a landing field for a mobile body, or an organizer of a neighborhood committee. By confirming the notification of the completion of the authentication, the goods manager can identify that the person who wishes to receive the goods L is the recognized agent P. The agent P can receive the goods L from the administrator. According to the structure, since there is no need to perform the extraction control of the goods L, it is easier to achieve that the goods L is smoothly received by the agent. In addition, compared with the structure of placing the goods L in a prescribed place as described above, the possibility of the goods L being stolen can be eliminated.

[0246] In addition, a computer program for performing the same functions as the respective structures of the above-mentioned receiving terminal 10, agent terminal 20, agent authentication server 30 and holding device 40 can also be generated on hardware such as the CPU, ROM and RAM built into the receiving terminal 10, agent terminal 20, agent authentication server 30 and holding device 40.
