Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0011] Embodiments in the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the stored item information processing device and the like in the embodiments are not limited to the descriptions in the drawings.

[0012] <First Embodiment> Generally, the staff of a cleaning store exchanges a receipt ticket and delivers the item held in custody. However, if a customer forgets the receipt ticket, the staff will ask for the customer's signature on a special slip and then deliver the item held in custody. That is, there are two ways to deliver the item held in custody: receipt ticket delivery, where the receipt ticket is received and then the item is delivered, and signature delivery, where the item is delivered without receiving the receipt ticket by using the signature on the special slip. In the case of signature delivery, the receipt ticket remains with the customer. Therefore, the customer may forget that they received the item through signature delivery and bring the receipt ticket to the cleaning store. In this case, since the item is not in the store, the staff needs to visually search for the customer's signature recorded on the special slip to confirm whether the item has been delivered using the signature. Visually searching for the signature recorded on the special slip requires a lot of man-hours. Furthermore, visual confirmation is prone to errors such as misreading. As will be described below, the item custody information processing device 10 outputs information indicating whether the item held in custody has been delivered using a signature without receiving the receipt ticket. In the following description, as an example of the item held in custody, the laundry at a cleaning store will be used for explanation. However, the item custody information processing device 10 may output information on items held in custody at stores other than cleaning stores. For example, the item custody information processing device 10 may output information on items held in custody at hotels, theaters, etc.

[0013] Figure 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the item custody information processing device 10. The item custody information processing device 10 includes an identification information acquisition unit 110, an item custody information acquisition unit 120, and an information output unit 130.

[0014] The deposit item identification information acquisition unit 110 acquires deposit item identification information from an information reading device that reads out the deposit item identification information for identifying the deposit item described or stored on the deposit slip. The deposit item identification information is information for identifying the deposit item, and is, for example, but not limited to, a deposit number or a deposit item identifier for identifying the deposit item. For example, when the deposit item identification information is described as a barcode on the deposit slip, the identification information acquisition unit 110 may acquire the deposit item identification information from the barcode reader. The code may be a one-dimensional code such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code. Alternatively, the identification information acquisition unit 110 may acquire the deposit item identification information described as characters on the deposit slip from an optical character recognition (OCR) device. Alternatively, when the deposit slip has a configuration for storing information like an IC (Integrated Circuit) card, the identification information acquisition unit 110 may acquire the deposit item identification information from an information reading device such as an IC card reader. The identification information acquisition unit 110 may acquire the deposit item identification information from an information reading device that reads information from the deposit slip using radio waves such as an RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader.

[0015] A deposit receipt is a form that a customer receives as a document indicating the deposit of items such as clothing and fabric products at a cleaning store or the like. The deposit receipt is, for example, a form in which deposit item identification information such as a deposit number and other information indicating the deposited item such as the name of the deposited item are described using at least one of characters and codes. FIG. 2 is a diagram showing an example of a deposit receipt. The deposit receipt in FIG. 2 has characters such as a deposit number and a barcode which is an example of a code described thereon. The identification information acquisition unit 110 acquires the deposit item identification information from, for example, a barcode reader that reads the information of the code described on the deposit receipt. The deposit receipt is not limited to the deposit receipt shown in FIG. 2 and may be other forms such as a receipt, a deposit certificate, or a transfer slip. Alternatively, the deposit receipt is not limited to paper and may have a function of storing deposit item identification information such as an IC card or an RFID tag.

[0016] The information described or stored on the deposit receipt, including the deposit item identification information, is not limited to the information in FIG. 2 and may include information different from that in FIG. 2 or may not include at least some of the information in FIG. 2. For example, the information described or stored on the deposit receipt, including the deposit item identification information, may include other information such as the name of the deposited item, the deposit date, and the amount. Hereinafter, the information described or stored on the deposit receipt including the deposit item identification information is referred to as "deposit item information". FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the deposit item information. The deposit item information in FIG. 3 includes other information such as storage classification in addition to the information described as characters in the deposit receipt in FIG. 2. However, the deposit item information is not limited to the information in FIG. 3 and may include information different from that in FIG. 3 or may not include at least some of the information in FIG. 3.

[0017] The deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires signature transfer information indicating whether or not a deposit has been transferred using a signature without receiving a deposit slip based on the deposit identification information. For example, the deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires the signature transfer information from a cleaning information processing server that processes information on the cleaning process based on the deposit identification information. Specifically, for example, the deposit information acquisition unit 120 transmits the deposit identification information to the cleaning information processing server. When the cleaning information processing server acquires the deposit identification information, it outputs the signature transfer information corresponding to the deposit identification information to the deposit information acquisition unit 120. As a result, the deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires the signature transfer information. However, the deposit information acquisition unit 120 is not limited to the cleaning information processing server, and may acquire the signature transfer information from other devices.

[0018] The cleaning information processing server is, for example, a server that processes information about deposits such as the delivery, payment, and cleaning process of the deposit using the deposit identification information. Then, the cleaning information processing server sets the signature transfer information based on the input of the store clerk. An example of the operation of setting the signature transfer information in the cleaning information processing server will be described. However, the following description will explain an example of the operation including the setting of the deposit slip transfer information indicating whether or not a deposit has been delivered after receiving the deposit slip.

[0019] When the store clerk accepts a deposit, the clerk operates the terminal to notify the cleaning information processing server of the deposit identification information and the acceptance of the deposit. When receiving the notification of the acceptance of the deposit from the terminal, the cleaning information processing server sets both the signature transfer information and the deposit slip transfer information associated with the deposit identification information to the "undelivered state".

[0020] In the delivery of a deposit item, if the deposit item is delivered using a signature instead of a deposit receipt, the store clerk operates the terminal to notify the cleaning information processing server that the deposit item has been delivered using a signature. Upon receiving the notification that the deposit item has been delivered using a signature, the cleaning information processing server sets the signature delivery information to "delivered". On the other hand, in the delivery of a deposit item, if the deposit item is delivered by exchanging it for a deposit receipt, the store clerk operates the terminal to notify the cleaning information processing server that the deposit item has been delivered by exchanging it for a deposit receipt. Upon receiving the notification that the deposit item has been delivered by exchanging it for a deposit receipt, the cleaning information processing server sets the deposit receipt delivery information to "delivered".

[0021] The signature delivery information and the deposit receipt delivery information may be 1-bit information such as a flag, may be multiple-bit information such as byte information, or may be information in other formats. The cleaning information processing server may process the signature delivery information and the deposit receipt delivery information as a lump of information including these. The store clerk may operate not only the terminal but also other devices. For example, if the deposit item information processing device 10 is equipped with an input device such as a keyboard, the store clerk may operate the input device of the deposit item information processing device 10.

[0022] The information output unit 130 outputs display information for displaying the deposit item identification information and the signature delivery information. The information output unit 130 generates, for example, display information including the deposit item identification information and the signature delivery information, and outputs the generated display information to a display device such as a liquid crystal display. If the deposit item information processing device 10 is equipped with a display device such as a liquid crystal display, the information output unit 130 may display the display information on the display device. The display information may include other information in addition to the deposit item identification information and the signature delivery information.

[0023] FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of display information. In FIG. 4, "Deposit No" indicates a deposit number which is an example of the display of "Deposit item identification information". "Sign handover status" is an example of the display of "Sign handover information". When the "Sign handover information" indicates "Not handed over", the display of the "Sign handover status" is "Not handed over". On the other hand, when the "Sign handover information" indicates "Handed over", the display of the "Sign handover status" is "Handed over". For example, when the display device displays FIG. 4, the store clerk first uses the "Deposit No" to confirm that it is the information of the deposited item corresponding to the deposit slip. Then, when the "Sign handover status" is "Handed over", the store clerk can confirm that the deposited item of the deposit slip has been handed over.

[0024] Similar to the sign handover information, the deposited item information acquisition unit 120 may acquire other information regarding the deposited item based on the deposited item identification information. And the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying those information. For example, the deposited item information acquisition unit 120 may acquire at least one of the incoming information of the deposited item to the store, the scheduled arrival date, the arrival date, the payment information, and the payment method. The deposited item information acquisition unit 120 may acquire at least a part of these information simultaneously with the sign handover information, or may acquire at least a part of the information separately.

[0025] For example, the deposited item information acquisition unit 120 may acquire incoming information indicating whether the deposited item has arrived based on the deposited item identification information. And the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying the incoming information. When the customer has a deposit slip and furthermore the sign handover information is not handed over, that is, the deposited item has not been handed over using the signature, the deposited item is in the state of being deposited by the store side. Therefore, the store clerk refers to the displayed incoming information, and if it has arrived, the store clerk can search for the deposited item in the store and hand it over to the customer. If it has not arrived, the store clerk may inform the customer that it has not arrived.

[0026] The consignment information acquisition unit 120 may acquire the scheduled arrival date of the consignment based on the consignment identification information. Then, the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying the scheduled arrival date. For example, when the consignment has not arrived yet, referring to the displayed scheduled arrival date, the store clerk may inform the customer of the scheduled arrival date of the unarrived consignment.

[0027] The consignment information acquisition unit 120 may acquire payment information indicating the payment status of the consignment based on the consignment identification information. Then, the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying the payment information. In this case, referring to the displayed payment information, if the payment has been made, the store clerk may exchange the consignment receipt and deliver the consignment to the customer. If the payment has not been made, the store clerk may settle the payment and then exchange the consignment receipt and deliver the consignment to the customer. In the case of signature transfer, the store clerk may also make the delivery in the same manner.

[0028] Furthermore, the consignment information acquisition unit 120 may acquire the payment method for the consignment based on the consignment identification information. Then, the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying the payment method. In this case, the store clerk may settle the payment using the displayed payment method.

[0029] In a dry cleaner or the like, the store clerk stores the received consignments according to the arrival date. Therefore, when searching for consignments in the store, it is desirable for the store clerk to be able to refer to the arrival date. Thus, the consignment information acquisition unit 120 may acquire the arrival date of the consignment based on the consignment identification information. Then, the information output unit 130 may output display information for displaying the arrival date. The store clerk may search for the consignment by referring to the displayed arrival date.

[0030] The information output unit 130 may output display information in other formats, not limited to the signature handover information corresponding to the receipt ticket as shown in FIG. 4. For example, the information output unit 130 may obtain the deposit information about a plurality of deposits from the cleaning information processing server as shown in FIG. 5, and output display information for displaying the plurality of deposit information. In FIG. 5, "Deposit No" indicates the deposit identification information. "Signature Handover" indicates the signature handover information. In "Signature Handover", "〇" indicates that the deposit has been handed over using a signature. "-" indicates that the deposit has not been handed over using a signature. "Receipt Ticket Handover" indicates the receipt ticket handover information. In "Receipt Ticket Handover", "〇" indicates that the deposit has been handed over using a receipt ticket. "-" indicates that the deposit has not been handed over using a receipt ticket. "Receipt Date" is the date when the deposit was received. "Voucher No" is the number for identifying the receipt ticket. "Product Name" is the name of the deposit. "〇" in "Payment" indicates that the payment has been made, and "×" indicates that the payment has not been made. "Scheduled Handover Date" is the scheduled date for handing over the deposit. "Storage" indicates the storage method of the deposit. "Packaging Classification" indicates the classification of the packaging method of the deposit. "〇" in "Receipt" indicates that the cleaning process of the deposit is completed and has been received at the store. Although not shown in FIG. 5, "×" in "Receipt" indicates that it has not been received. "Product Handover" indicates whether the deposit has been handed over to the customer. In "Product Handover", "〇" indicates that it has been handed over, and "×" indicates that it has not been handed over. Thus, the information output unit 130 may output information regarding a plurality of deposits. The store clerk can determine the status of the plurality of deposits by referring to this information.

[0031] FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of the operation of the deposit information processing apparatus 10. The identification information acquisition unit 110 acquires deposit identification information from an information reading device that reads out the deposit identification information for identifying the deposit described or stored on the deposit slip (step S201). For example, the identification information acquisition unit 110 acquires the deposit identification information included in the barcode described on the deposit slip from a barcode reader. The deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires sign transfer information indicating whether or not the deposit has been transferred using a sign without receiving the deposit slip, using the deposit identification information (step S202). For example, the deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires the sign transfer information from the cleaning information processing server using the deposit identification information. The information output unit 130 outputs display information for displaying the deposit identification information and the sign transfer information (step S203). For example, the information output unit 130 generates display information including the deposit identification information and the sign transfer information, and outputs the generated display information to a display device.

[0032] As described above, the deposit information processing apparatus 10 includes an identification information acquisition unit 110, a deposit information acquisition unit 120, and an information output unit 130. The identification information acquisition unit 110 acquires deposit identification information from an information reading device that reads out the deposit identification information for identifying the deposit described or stored on the deposit slip. The deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires sign transfer information indicating whether or not the deposit has been transferred using a sign without receiving the deposit slip, based on the deposit identification information. The information output unit 130 outputs display information for displaying the deposit identification information and the sign transfer information.

[0033] The deposit information acquisition unit 120 acquires the signature transfer information based on the deposit identification information acquired by the identification information acquisition unit 110. Then, the information output unit 130 outputs display information for displaying the deposit identification information and the signature transfer information. Therefore, by using the deposit information processing device 10, a store clerk can confirm whether a signature has been received and the deposit has been handed over by checking the display information output by the information output unit 130. And for the store clerk, the task of checking the display information is less burdensome than checking a dedicated slip. In this way, the deposit information processing device 10 can eliminate the task of checking the dedicated slip by the store clerk. That is, the deposit information processing device 10 reduces the man-hours in the task of handing over the deposit.

[0034] Alternatively, visually checking a dedicated slip signed by many customers may cause mistakes such as misreading. However, by using the deposit information processing device 10, the store clerk does not need to visually check the dedicated slip. In this way, the deposit information processing device 10 can reduce mistakes by the store clerk.

[0035] (First Modification Example) The deposit information processing device 10 may include an information reading device that reads the deposit identification information described or stored on the deposit slip, and a display device that displays the display information. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a deposit information processing device 11 which is a first modification example of the deposit information processing device 10. The deposit information processing device 11 includes an information processing unit 100, an information reading device 20, and a display device 30. The information processing unit 100 has the same configuration as the deposit information processing device 10. Therefore, a detailed description of the information processing unit 100 is omitted.

[0036] The information reading device 20 reads the deposit identification information described or stored on the deposit slip. The information reading device 20 is, for example, a barcode reader, an OCR device, an IC card reader, or an RFID reader, but is not limited thereto. The display device 30 displays the display information. The display device 30 is, for example, a liquid crystal display, but is not limited thereto.

[0037] (Second Modified Example) FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a stored item information processing apparatus 12, which is a second modified example of the stored item information processing apparatus 10. The stored item information processing apparatus 12 includes an information processing unit 101 instead of the information processing unit 100 in the configuration of the stored item information processing apparatus 11, and further includes an input device 60. The information processing unit 101 includes an input information output unit 140 in addition to the configuration of the information processing unit 100. Since the configurations other than the input device 60 and the input information output unit 140 are the same as those of the stored item information processing apparatus 11, detailed descriptions thereof are omitted.

[0038] The input device 60 is a device for inputting sign-delivered information indicating that a store clerk has delivered a stored item using a signature. The input device 60 is, for example, a keyboard, a mouse, or a touch panel. In the delivery of a stored item, when it is delivered using a signature without using a storage receipt, the store clerk uses the input device 60 to input the sign-delivered information. For example, the store clerk presses a sign-delivery key for inputting the sign-delivered information.

[0039] The input information output unit 140 outputs the sign-delivered information input to the input device 60. For example, the input information output unit 140 outputs the sign-delivered information to a cleaning information processing server. In this case, the cleaning information processing server that has acquired the sign-delivered information may update the sign-delivery information as delivered. In this way, the stored item information processing apparatus 12 can update the sign-delivery information using the input device 60 and the input information output unit 140. For example, the store clerk can update the sign-delivery information when delivering a stored item using a signature by using the stored item information processing apparatus 12.

[0040] <Hardware Configuration> Each component of the deposit information processing apparatus 10, the information processing unit 100, and the information processing unit 101 may be configured by a hardware circuit. Alternatively, in the deposit information processing apparatus 10, the information processing unit 100, and the information processing unit 101, each component may be configured using a plurality of devices connected via a network. For example, the deposit information processing apparatus 10, the information processing unit 100, and the information processing unit 101 may be configured using a server and a tablet terminal configured using cloud computing. Alternatively, in the deposit information processing apparatus 10, the information processing unit 100, and the information processing unit 101, a plurality of components may be configured by one piece of hardware. Alternatively, the deposit information processing apparatus 10, the information processing unit 100, and the information processing unit 101 may be realized as a computer including a processor, a memory, and an interface. The processor is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU: Central Processing Unit), but is not limited thereto. The memory is a read-only memory (ROM: Read Only Memory) and a random access memory (RAM: Random Access Memory), but is not limited thereto. The interface is an input / output interface for connecting a bus to which the processor is connected to other components, and a network interface for connecting the computer to an external network, but is not limited thereto.

[0041] FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a computer 600 which is an example of the hardware of the deposit information processing apparatus 10. The computer 600 includes a CPU 610, a ROM 620, a RAM 630, a storage device 640, an input / output interface 650, and a network interface 660.

[0042] The CPU 610 reads a program from at least one of the ROM 620 and the storage device 640. Then, based on the read program, the CPU 610 controls the RAM 630, the storage device 640, the input / output interface 650, and the network interface 660. And the CPU 610 controls these components to realize the functions as the identification information acquisition unit 110, the stored item information acquisition unit 120, and the information output unit 130. In this way, the computer 600 may realize functions as a combination of hardware and software.

[0043] The CPU 610 may read a program included in a recording medium 690 storing a computer-readable program using a recording medium reading device (not shown). Alternatively, the CPU 610 may receive a program from an external device (not shown) via the network interface 660, store it in the RAM 630 or the storage device 640, and operate based on the stored program.

[0044] The ROM 620 stores programs and fixed data executed by the CPU 610. The ROM 620 is, for example, a programmable ROM (P-ROM) or a flash ROM. The RAM 630 temporarily stores programs and data executed by the CPU 610. The RAM 630 is, for example, a dynamic RAM (D-RAM). The storage device 640 stores data and programs to be stored long-term. The storage device 640 may operate as a temporary storage device for the CPU 610. The storage device 640 is, for example, a hard disk device or a solid state drive (SSD).

[0045] ROM 620 and the storage device 640 are non-transitory recording media. On the other hand, RAM 630 is a transitory recording media. And the CPU 610 is operable based on the programs stored in the ROM 620, the storage device 640, and the RAM 630. That is, the CPU 610 is operable using either the non-volatile recording media or the volatile recording media. When realizing each function, the CPU 610 may use at least one of the RAM 630 and the storage device 640 as a temporary storage medium for programs and data.

[0046] The input / output interface 650 relays the input / output of information between the information reading device and the display device and the CPU 610. The input / output interface 650 is, for example, a PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus card, but is not limited thereto. The network interface 660 relays the data exchange with an external device such as a server via the network. For example, the network interface 660 relays the data exchange with the cleaning information processing server. The network interface 660 is, for example, a local area network (LAN) card, but is not limited thereto. Furthermore, the network interface 660 is not limited to wired and may use wireless.

[0047] The computer 600 configured as described above executes the operations of the components included in the stored item information processing apparatus 10 to realize the functions of the stored item information processing apparatus 10.

[0048] The computer 600 may operate as the information processing unit 100 and the information processing unit 101. FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware of the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 11 which is a first modified example. In FIG. 10, the computer 600 operates as the information processing unit 100 of the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 11. FIG. 11 is a block diagram showing an example of the hardware of the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 12 which is a second modified example. In FIG. 11, the computer 600 operates as the information processing unit 101 of the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 12.

[0049] <System> FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an example of the configuration of the safekeeping item information processing system 50 including the safekeeping item information processing apparatuses 10, 11, or 12. The safekeeping item information processing system 50 includes the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 10, 11, or 12, the information reading device 20, the display device 30, and the cleaning information processing server 40. When the safekeeping item information processing system 50 includes the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 11 or 12, the information reading device 20 and the display device 30 are included in the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 11 or 12. In the following description, since the safekeeping item information processing apparatuses 10, 11, and 12 operate in the same manner, the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 10 will be used for the description.

[0050] The information reading device 20 reads the safekeeping item identification information described or stored on the safekeeping ticket, and outputs the read safekeeping item identification information to the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 10. The display device 30 displays the display information output by the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 10. The cleaning information processing server 40 stores the safekeeping item identification information in association with the handover information, and outputs the handover information to the safekeeping item information processing apparatus 10.
