[0012] In the present disclosure, a technology is proposed that allows a part of a living space to be partitioned off and used for delivery of packages, etc. In a management system according to an embodiment, a partition material that can be controlled to open, close, and lock and unlock is provided inside the living space, and the space is partitioned into a first area between the front door and the partition material, and a second area other than the first area. When a person such as a delivery person or a mobile object such as a delivery robot arrives, the partition material is locked in a closed state and then the front door is unlocked, allowing the visitor to enter the first area but preventing the visitor from entering the second area.

[0013] This allows delivery of items using the first area while ensuring security and privacy. In addition, since the first area can be created in the living space by the partition material, even if there is no room to add a new area for delivery of items, parcels can be delivered in the first area created in the living space. In addition, even if a user does not own a delivery box, delivery items can be delivered when the user is not at home, improving the convenience of the user and the deliverer. In addition, even in an apartment building where a delivery box is installed, delivery items that do not fit in the delivery box and heavy items that are difficult to carry from the delivery box to the user's room can be delivered in the user's room, improving the convenience of the user. In addition, even when the user is at home, delivery items can be delivered without meeting the deliverer.

[0014] 1 shows the configuration of a management system according to an embodiment. The management system 1 includes a user terminal 20 used by a user 15 who is a resident of a house 2 to be managed, a deliverer terminal 14 used by a deliverer 13 who delivers a package to the house 2, a front door 4 for opening and closing the front door 3 which is the entrance to the house 2, a partition material 8 provided inside the house 2, a control device 50 for controlling the opening / closing and locking / unlocking of the front door 4 and the partition material 8, and a communication network 12 connecting these devices.

[0015] A lock 5 that can be locked and unlocked by a control device 50 is installed on an entrance door 4 installed at an entrance 3. A door phone 6 including an imaging device for capturing images of visitors and an input device 7 for receiving input of a password for unlocking the lock 5 are installed on the outside of the entrance 3.

[0016] The interior of the house 2 is divided by the partition material 8 into a first area 10 between the front door 4 and the partition material 8, and a second area 11 other than the first area 10. When there is no need to separate the first area 10, such as when the user is at home, the partition material 8 is desirably configured to be storable in the ceiling, floor, or side of a wall so as not to get in the way in daily life. This allows the living space to be used effectively. The partition material 8 may be an interior shutter, door, or door. In particular, an interior shutter has a high psychological effect of making the user feel that it is difficult to pry open, so that crime prevention can be improved. In addition, by electronically controlling the opening / closing and locking / unlocking of the partition material 8, it is possible to make it physically difficult to pry open, so that crime prevention can be improved.

[0017] An imaging device 9 is installed in the first area 10 to capture an image of a person or a moving object that has entered the first area 10. Various sensors such as a human sensor and an infrared sensor may be installed in the first area 10.
