Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a travel expense settlement system, a travel expense settlement method, and a program.

Background Art

[0002] An online supermarket is a home delivery service provided by a home delivery specialist without existing supermarkets or stores, which accepts orders via the Internet and delivers ordered products from existing stores mainly to individual homes on the same day. Basically, daily necessities (consumer goods) and foodstuffs are delivered from the existing supermarket closest to the individual home of the online supermarket user.

[0003] The items handled are as diverse as those in stores, and fresh foods such as rice and vegetables, daily sundries, underwear, and some household appliances are delivered on the same day. The use by elderly welfare facilities is also increasing, and it is expanding against the backdrop of the spread of infectious diseases and the consumption of people staying at home.

[0004] Since consumers do not need to carry heavy items themselves, it is a business form that is expected to have a large expansion in the future with the progress of an aging society.

[0005] When purchasing heavy items such as rice and bottled beverages, or on rainy days, people often have to drive to the store. However, due to the soaring gasoline prices associated with high crude oil prices and the trend of people moving away from cars in big cities, more and more consumers think it is attractive to place orders at online supermarkets even if they add a surcharge to the "product price + delivery fee" considering "labor", "car maintenance costs", "living costs such as gasoline".

[0006] In Patent Document 1, in order to give users an incentive to spontaneously receive delivered items, when a user receives delivered items delivered to a predetermined base, based on the costs borne by the user when receiving the delivered items, it is described that a consideration is paid from the delivery operator responsible for the delivery of the delivered items to the user.

Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0014] Embodiment FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration and flow of a transportation expense settlement system according to the present disclosure. Hereinafter, a configuration example of the transportation expense settlement system 100 will be described with reference to FIG. 1. The transportation expense settlement system 100 includes a product purchaser 101, a network 103, a server 105, an intermediate distribution center 107, and a seller 109.

[0015] The product purchaser 101 is, for example, a person who purchases products at an online supermarket. The product purchaser 101 places an order for products with the seller 109 via the network 103.

[0016] The seller 109 is, for example, an online supermarket. The seller 109 receives an order from the product purchaser 101 and delivers the products to the intermediate distribution center 107.

[0017] The intermediate distribution center 107 is a place that temporarily stores the products delivered from the seller 109 and delivers the products to the product purchaser 101. The intermediate distribution center 107 is, for example, a service station such as a gas station. The service station may be an electric charging station or a hydrogen station. The intermediate distribution center receives and stores the products from the seller 109 and notifies the product purchaser that the products have been received. The notification is made via a wireless communication network such as application software (hereinafter also referred to as an app) issued by the intermediate distribution center 107, a phone call, or an email.

[0018] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a mobile information terminal and a server used in the travel expense settlement system according to the present disclosure. The server 105 is configured by an information processing device including an arithmetic unit 219 that executes a program to perform processing as shown in FIG. 2, for example, and a storage unit 221 in which the program is stored. The information processing device may be configured by one device or a plurality of devices. The information processing device may be a cloud server in which part or all of the functions are executed in a distributed manner. The server 105 registers the type of vehicle that the product purchaser 101 uses to go to the intermediate distribution center 107 to receive the product. Further, the server 105 registers the result of measuring the travel distance and travel speed of the product purchaser 101 moving on the vehicle. Then, the server 105 calculates the travel expense of the product purchaser 101 based on the type of vehicle, the travel distance, and the travel speed. The server 105 calculates the travel expense so that the product purchaser receives it from the intermediate distribution center from the purchase expense of the product purchaser or the delivery fee to be borne by the seller. Although the server 105 calculates the travel expense, the mobile information terminal possessed by the product purchaser 101 may calculate the travel expense through an application issued by the intermediate distribution center 107.

[0019] The intermediate distribution center 107 delivers the product to the product purchaser 101. The seller 109 receives from the intermediate distribution center 107 the purchase price with the travel expense deducted.

[0020] With reference to FIG. 1, the travel expense settlement method will be described. The online supermarket user who is the product purchaser 101 places an order for products at the online supermarket which is the seller 109 (1). At this time, the user information and the ordered product information are transmitted via the wireless communication network to the information terminal owned by the online supermarket and the service station which is the intermediate distribution center 107. The user information is personal information such as the name and contact information of the online supermarket user. The ordered product information is information such as the product name, price, or JAN code associated with them, quantity information, and the total amount calculated from these information of foodstuffs and daily necessities ordered by the online supermarket user. The online supermarket side accepts the order and prepares the products according to the ordered product information. The service station side obtains the user information and ordered product information to be used at the time of product delivery.

[0021] When the online supermarket has the products ready, it delivers the products to the service station by truck (2).

[0022] When the products arrive at the service station from the online supermarket, the service station properly stores the products according to the products, such as daily necessities and food (including refrigerated and frozen products) (3).

[0023] After the online supermarket delivers the products to the service station, it sends information indicating that the ordered products have arrived at the service station to the online supermarket users as arrival information via the wireless communication network (4).

[0024] The online supermarket users make preparations to go to the service station to pick up the products. Then, the online supermarket users operate the application software provided by the service station on the smartphone, which is the portable information terminal 201 they possess, and input user information, vehicle type for use, and maintenance information. The input data is sent to the server via the wireless communication network (5). The user information includes the ID (Identification), name, phone number, and number of passengers associated with the user who uses the service. The vehicle type for use is the type of the mobile body that goes to the service station to pick up the products. The vehicle type for use includes, for example, information on the vehicle type of a car. The maintenance information is information such as the inspection implementation date of the tire condition, engine condition, etc. including the vehicle inspection of the car that goes to the service station to pick up the products. On the server side, in the user information table, the vehicle type for use and maintenance information are associated with the user information, and the input of this information can be omitted from the past usage history. Also, the user information table is registered and updated on the server side when using it for the first time or when there is an information update.

[0025] The online supermarket users get into the car presented by the vehicle type for use and drive to the service station. At this time, based on the location information from the application provided by the service station, the driving route and distance are sent to the server via the wireless communication network (6).

[0026] Upon arriving at the service station, the online supermarket user picks up the goods (7) and pays for the goods ordered from the online supermarket (8).

[0027] The service station checks whether there is any difference between the information of the car actually arriving at the store and the user information, vehicle type used, and maintenance information of the online supermarket user received in advance. The service station transmits the confirmation result of whether the vehicle is the service target to the server via the wireless communication network (9).

[0028] Based on the user information, vehicle type used, maintenance information, driving route, and distance, the server calculates fuel cost information, which is the moving cost. Although the moving cost is taken as the fuel cost, it may also be the gasoline cost, electricity cost, or hydrogen cost. Also, the fuel cost information may be calculated by taking into account the coefficients associated with the number of days elapsed since the last maintenance date and the number of passengers in the vehicle type data table, as well as the vehicle confirmation result. The calculated fuel cost information is transmitted to the service station, the online supermarket, and the smartphone of the online supermarket user via the wireless communication network (10).

[0029] The service station provides the service fuel for the round trip to the online supermarket user (11).

[0030] The service station pays the online supermarket the product price, which is the amount obtained by subtracting the service fuel cost from the total purchase cost, which is the total amount of the ordered product information (12).

[0031] Figure 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the mobile information terminal and the server used in the moving cost settlement system according to the present disclosure. Figure 3 is a table showing a registration example of the user's mobile body according to the present disclosure. Figure 4 is a table showing an example of the fuel consumption of the mobile body according to the present disclosure. Figure 5 is a table showing an example of the maintenance status of the mobile body according to the present disclosure. The moving cost calculation system of the present disclosure will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5.

[0032] The mobile information terminal 201 held by the online supermarket user includes an arithmetic unit 205, a storage unit 207, an input unit 211, an output unit 213, a communication unit 203, and a position information acquisition unit 209. The mobile information terminal 201 is, for example, a smartphone.

[0033] The mobile information terminal 201 held by the online supermarket user displays the application software 215 provided by the service station in the storage unit 207 on the output unit 213 such as a display. In the app 215, user information, vehicle type in use, and maintenance information are input by the online supermarket user using the input unit 211 such as a touch panel.

[0034] The position information acquisition unit 209 of the mobile information terminal 201 of the online supermarket user acquires the position information of the vehicle carrying the mobile information terminal 201 by means of GPS (Global Positioning System) or the like, and provides the driving route and distance of the vehicle to the app 215.

[0035] The app 215 of the mobile information terminal 201 of the online supermarket user receives information on user information, vehicle type in use, maintenance information, driving distance, and route in the arithmetic unit 205, and transmits it to the server via the wireless communication network from the communication unit.

[0036] When the online supermarket delivers goods to the service station, the mobile information terminal 201 of the online supermarket user receives the goods arrival information transmitted from the information terminal owned by the online supermarket via the wireless communication network from the communication unit. The mobile information terminal 201 notifies the online supermarket user of the arrival of the goods from the output unit 213.

[0037] The server 105 includes an arithmetic unit 219, a storage unit 221, an input unit 223, an output unit 225, and a communication unit 217.

[0038] Server 105 calculates the estimated fuel consumption in the calculation unit 219 from the user information, vehicle type, and maintenance information obtained from the mobile information terminal 201 of the net-super user via the communication unit 217 and the information in the data table of the storage unit 221, and calculates the round-trip fuel cost from the driving route and distance. Server 105 transmits the calculated user information, vehicle type used, and maintenance information to the mobile information terminal 201 of the net-super user. Server 105 includes a user information table 231, a vehicle type data table 229, and a fuel consumption variation factor table 227 in the storage unit 221.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3, a unique ID for the user is assigned to the user information table 231, and information such as the name, phone number, automobile manufacturer of the user, vehicle type, and maintenance information is associated with the user ID. The maintenance information includes the last maintenance date. When the information held in the user information table 231 is different from the latest vehicle type and maintenance information obtained from the mobile information terminal 201 of the net-super user, the user information table 231 is updated. For a user with no information in the user information table 231, a new table is created based on the input information. Or a form for obtaining information for table creation may be provided on the application side at the time of new use.

[0040] A unique ID is assigned to each vehicle type in the vehicle type data table 229, and information such as the automobile manufacturer, vehicle type, and catalog specifications of fuel consumption is associated with the vehicle ID. As shown in FIG. 4, the vehicle type data table 229 obtains information from each vehicle manufacturer and holds the catalog specifications of fuel consumption for all vehicle types.

[0041] As shown in FIG. 5, the fuel consumption variation factor table 227 holds information such as the number of days elapsed since vehicle maintenance (inspection) and the number of passengers, which can be factors affecting fuel consumption, and coefficients indicating the degree to which they affect fuel consumption. As the number of days elapsed increases, the condition of the engine, tires, etc. deteriorates, which is considered to be a factor deteriorating fuel consumption. Also, as the number of passengers increases, it is considered to be a factor deteriorating fuel consumption. Based on each coefficient held in the fuel consumption variation factor table 227, the estimated fuel consumption is calculated in an appropriate manner for the catalog specifications.

[0042] The server 105 receives the vehicle information confirmation result from the communication unit 217 via a wireless communication network that checks whether there is any difference between the user information, the vehicle type in use, the maintenance information, and the vehicle at the actual visit to the store. The user information, the vehicle type in use, and the maintenance information are transmitted from the information terminal owned by the service station when a net-super user visits the service station.

[0043] The server updates the user information table as necessary from the vehicle information confirmation result, calculates the fuel cost from the correct estimated fuel consumption and the driving distance, and transmits it to the service station, the net-super, and the smartphone of the net-super user via the wireless communication network.

[0044] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a display image of the application software according to the present disclosure. With reference to FIG. 6, the display image of the service station-provided application software of the present disclosure will be described.

[0045] When the net-super user is ready to go to the service station to pick up the product, the app provided by the service station is operated on the smartphone.

[0046] As shown in FIG. 6, from the information input screen, as user information, the member ID, name, number of passengers today, and as vehicle information, the automobile manufacturer, vehicle type, and last maintenance date are input.

[0047] Each piece of data on the information input screen is stored in the user information table on the server as the data at the time of final use. When the member ID is entered, the user is required to enter the password. If the passwords match, the data at the time of final use is automatically entered into each form, and only the parts that need to be changed this time are left for the net-super user to enter.

[0048] The "member ID" on the information input screen is a unique ID for the user, and each piece of information in the server's user information table is associated with the ID. The "name" and "phone number" on the information input screen are the name and phone number of the net-super user, which are used for identity verification of the net-super user when delivering goods at the service station. The "number of passengers today" on the information input screen is the number of passengers when coming to the store by car at the service station. This affects fuel consumption. It is also possible to let the user select the number from a pull-down menu. For the "automobile manufacturer" on the information input screen, the net-super user enters the automobile manufacturer of the car they come to the store in. It is also possible to let the user select the automobile manufacturer from a pull-down menu. The "model" on the information input screen is the model of the car the net-super user comes to the store in. This affects fuel consumption. It is also possible to let the user select the model from a pull-down menu. The "last maintenance date" on the information input screen is the date when the last maintenance (inspection) of the car the net-super user comes to the store in is carried out.
