[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0028】 Hereinafter, an example of an embodiment for carrying out the present invention will be specifically described with reference to the drawings. 【0029】 Figure 1 is a block diagram illustrating an example configuration of the disaster preparedness supplies rental system of the present invention. In Figure 1, 10 is the disaster preparedness supplies rental system of the present invention, R is a rental company, U1 to Un (hereinafter referred to as "U") are users (mainly corporate or organizational users with a large number of members), and S is a supplier that supplies and collects disaster preparedness supplies ES from the users U. Supplier U is equipped with a warehouse WH and a management device 20 for managing the disaster preparedness supplies rental system 10. PC1 to PCn (hereinafter referred to as "PC") are communication terminals owned by users U. The management device 20 and the communication terminals PC are connected to a communication line NW. The communication terminals of the rental company R (not shown) are also connected to the communication line NW. Meanwhile, under the umbrella of supplier U are numerous suppliers S1 to Sn that handle various goods. 【0030】 The supplier S pre-categs the disaster preparedness supplies ES needed in the event of a disaster into two main categories: supplies SS for short-term stays (see Figure 4(a)) and supplies BB for taking out / returning home (see Figure 4(b)). The supplier S further divides the supplies SS for short-term stays into disaster preparedness supplies SS1 that can be used by multiple people and disaster preparedness supplies SS2 that are for individual consumption. Each category is stored in a different form, and the supplier S stores these packages of products, each containing the items needed by disaster victims in different situations, in the management device 20. The supplier S then presents these packaged product groups as a single product to the user U who needs disaster preparedness supplies ES and supplies the categorized disaster preparedness supplies (and optional items). 【0031】 Figure 2 shows an example of the packaging for the disaster preparedness supplies ES, where (a) is a disaster preparedness storage room, (b) is a storage box for a disaster preparedness backpack, and (c) is a storage box for supplies for short-term stays. 【0032】 As shown in Figure 2(a), the disaster preparedness supplies SS1 that can be used by all parties are stored in a dedicated disaster preparedness storage room SSS, and as shown in Figure 2(c), the disaster preparedness supplies SS2 intended for personal consumption are stored in a designated storage box SSP. On the other hand, the supplies BB for taking out / returning home are stored in a designated disaster preparedness backpack 41, and a predetermined number (for example, 5 items) are stored in a single storage box BBP, as shown in Figure 2(b). Each section is stored in a different storage configuration at a storage location designated by the user U. In addition, the storage boxes SSP and BBP are affixed with contents labels 43 indicating the contents, so the contents of the stored supplies can be determined by their appearance. Furthermore, since the disaster preparedness supplies SS1 store disaster preparedness supplies S1 that require charging, such as portable generators, they are equipped with charging equipment to charge these devices at regular intervals. 【0033】 Furthermore, the categorized disaster preparedness supplies (and optional items) are not sold to the user U, but are leased to the user U by the rental company R for a relatively long period (for example, 3 to 5 years). The lease payment is not made in a lump sum, but is divided into monthly installments according to the lease period and paid to the rental company R. On the other hand, the supplier S, which supplied the disaster preparedness supplies ES to the user U, is paid by the rental company R (basically in a lump sum). 【0034】 On the other hand, the disaster preparedness supplies ES lent to user U have their storage location and the contents of the disaster preparedness supplies ES stored in that location stored in the management device 20 in advance, and the rental company R inspects the disaster preparedness supplies ES periodically (for example, once every two months) based on that information. The inspection includes, for example, checking the number of disaster preparedness supplies ES, checking whether any operating equipment is functioning, and checking whether the designated disaster preparedness supplies ES are in the predetermined storage location. The storage location is not simply the location of user U, but also the detailed location where the relevant disaster preparedness supplies ES are stored, such as the room number, or in the case of a multi-story building, the floor number, etc., which are stored as storage location information. 【0035】 During the inspection, in addition to the storage location information, as mentioned above, the packaged product groups are stored in different storage configurations according to their categories, making the inspection work easy and quick. Furthermore, the storage boxes display the type of product group and the date and time of the contract, which further facilitates the inspection work. 【0036】 Furthermore, if user U uses the disaster relief supplies ES due to a disaster, and the disaster is deemed to be a severe disaster within the loan period, the disaster relief supplies ES will be replenished free of charge in principle. Even if the disaster is not deemed to be a severe disaster, the supplies will be replenished for a fee. 【0037】 Therefore, user U can acquire the disaster preparedness supplies ES with minimal financial burden, without requiring a large initial investment. Furthermore, if the disaster preparedness supplies ES are used due to a major disaster during the loan period, they will be replenished free of charge, further reducing the burden on user U. Moreover, even when the disaster preparedness supplies ES are actually used, regular inspections are conducted as described above, so there will be no problems such as parts of the disaster preparedness supplies ES being missing or not functioning. 【0038】 Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the management device 20 of the disaster preparedness supplies lending system 10. As shown in Figure 2, the management device 20 has a CPU 21, which is connected to and controls RAM 22, display device 23, communication I / F 24, storage device 25, etc. 【0039】 The RAM 23 is composed of, for example, SRAM or DRAM, and stores temporary data generated when a computer program is executed. The communication I / F 24 is an interface for communicating with the outside world via a communication line NW such as the Internet or a telephone line. The storage device 25 stores various computer programs and various data necessary for the operation of the management device 20. The storage device 25 also includes five databases (customer DB 26, product DB 27, storage / inspection DB 28, inventory DB 29, and order DB 30), which will be described later. 【0040】 Figure 4 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the file format stored in the product DB27. As shown in Figure 4, the product file 50 stored in the product DB27 has fields divided into disaster preparedness supplies SS for short-term stays and disaster preparedness supplies BB for taking out / returning home. The disaster preparedness supplies SS for short-term stays are further divided into disaster preparedness supplies SS1 that can be used by multiple people, disaster preparedness supplies SS2 that are subject to personal consumption, and other optional items field SS3. Furthermore, the disaster preparedness supplies BB for taking out / returning home are divided into fields for men (items 1 to 17) and women (items 1 to 25) according to their attributes and stored in those fields. 【0041】 Figure 5 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the file format stored in the customer DB 26. As shown in Figure 5, the customer file 50 stored in the customer DB 26 includes a customer code field 51, a customer name field 52, an address field 53, a telephone number field 54, a fax number field 55, and an email address field 56. 【0042】 Figure 6 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the file format stored in the order database 30. As shown in Figure 6, the order product file 60 stored in the order database 30 includes a customer code field 61, an order number field 62, an order date field 63, a shipping date field 64, a shipping label number field 65, a product code field 66, a product name code field 67, a quantity field 68, and an original order number field 69. In this embodiment, the loan period (rental period, lease period) and the inspection date are calculated from the date stored in the shipping date field 64. Furthermore, in the replenishment flow described later, when a replenishment order is placed, a new order code and order number are assigned, but the original order number is stored in the original order number field 69 in order to associate it with the original order code and order number. 【0043】 Figure 7 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the file format stored in the inventory DB29. As shown in Figure 7, the inventory product file 70 stored in the inventory DB29 includes a product code field 71, a product name field 72, a stock quantity field 73, a supplier field 74, and a receipt date field 75. 【0044】 Figure 8 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the file format stored in the storage and inspection DB 28. The storage and inspection file 80 stored in the storage and inspection DB 28 includes a customer code field 81, an inspection date field 82, an inspection location field 83, a shortage / malfunctioning stock item name field 84, a replenishment item field 85, a quantity field 86, and an order number field 87. 【0045】 Next, we will explain the flow of the disaster preparedness stockpiling system of the present invention. Figure 9 is a conceptual diagram showing an example of the order application form format, Figure 10 is a flowchart showing an example of basic operations, Figure 11 is a flowchart showing an example of stockpiling inspection work, Figure 12 is a flowchart showing an example of contract renewal (extension) procedures, Figure 13 is a flowchart showing an example of stockpiling replenishment work, and Figure 14 is a flowchart showing an example of stockpiling retrieval work. 【0046】 As shown in Figure 10, first, the supplier S, based on the advice of persons with disaster prevention knowledge, such as disaster prevention specialists, as well as national guidelines and information obtained after actual disasters, pre-categorizes the disaster relief supplies ES needed in the event of a disaster at the bases of corporations and organizations with many members into, as described above, supplies SS for short-term stays (see Figure 2(a)) and supplies BB for taking out / returning home (see Figure 2(b)). The supplies SS for short-term stays are further divided into disaster relief supplies SS1 that can be used by all parties and disaster relief supplies SS2 that are for individual consumption, and each category is prepared in a different storage format. 【0047】 Then, the disaster relief supplies ES are broadly divided into the short-term stay disaster relief supplies SS and the emergency supplies BB for taking out / taking out and returning home, the emergency supplies BB for taking out / taking out and returning home are divided by gender (ST101), the short-term stay disaster relief supplies SS are divided into the emergency supplies SS1 that can be used by both parties, the emergency supplies SS2 that are subject to individual consumption, and optional items SS3 (ST102), and stored in the product DB27 (ST101, ST102), and this information is sent to the rental company R (ST103). The rental company R receives the product information (ST104) and shares the information with the supplier S. 【0048】 Meanwhile, rental company R, having received user U's application to rent the disaster preparedness supplies ES (ST106) (ST105), transmits the product information to user U (ST107). User U receives this information (ST108), and based on the presented product information, takes into account the number of employees in their company and the types of disasters they anticipate, and selects the necessary disaster preparedness supplies ES package (divided disaster preparedness supplies), their quantities, and optional items SS3 (ST109, ST110). They then apply for the rental using the input screen shown in Figure 9(a) and the confirmation screen shown in Figure 9(b) (ST111). 【0049】 Having received User U's rental application and the necessary disaster preparedness supplies ES information (order information) (ST112), Rental Company R concludes a rental agreement with User U (ST113) and sends the order information for the disaster preparedness supplies ES and user information (username, user code) to Supplier S (ST114). 【0050】 Supplier R, having received user information of user U and disaster preparedness stockpiling ES information (order information) from rental company R, outputs other user information (address, telephone number, fax number, email address, etc.) from customer DB26 based on the user code (ST115), further refers to product name and quantity from product DB27 and product DB28 and outputs the amount, etc. (ST116), and allocates inventory of the ordered products from inventory DB (ST117). Then, checks whether the products are in stock (ST118), and if they are in stock (YES in ST118), confirms the order and stores the order data in order DB30 (ST121). If the products are not in stock (NO in ST118), orders the missing products from suppliers S1 to Sn (ST119), receives the missing products (ST120), confirms the order after the products are ready, and stores the order data in order DB30 (ST121). 【0051】 The supplier R then packages the goods and ships them to the user U as disaster preparedness supplies ES (ST122), and stores the shipping information in the order database 30. The supplier then sends the shipping information to the user U and the rental company R (ST123). The supplier calculates the rental period from the shipping date information in the order database 30 and performs period management and inspection management (ST130). 【0052】 Meanwhile, user U receives the disaster preparedness supplies ES that have been shipped (ST127), and user U and rental company R also receive the shipping information (ST124, ST125). User U then sends the product receipt information to supplier S via rental company R (ST126). The product receipt information may also be sent to rental company R, and then sent from rental company R to supplier S. User U then pays a fixed monthly rental fee based on the invoice from rental company R (ST131). 【0053】 Meanwhile, supplier S submits an invoice to rental company R for the disaster preparedness supplies ES that it has shipped (ST128), rental company R receives the invoice and pays the price based on the invoice (ST133), and supplier S receives the payment (ST130). Rental company R receives the monthly rental fee from user U (ST134). 【0054】 Figure 11 is a flowchart for the periodic inspection of the disaster preparedness supplies ES lent to user U. Supplier S calculates the next inspection date from the order DB 30, refers to the storage / inspection DB 28 (ST201), and notifies rental company R of this fact along with the necessary information before the inspection deadline (ST202). Rental company R, having received the notification (ST203), notifies user U of this (ST204), user U, having received the notification (ST205), sends the inspection date and time information to rental company R (ST206), and rental company R, having received the information (ST207), conducts the inspection at the specified date and time (ST208). During inspection, the storage location of the disaster preparedness supplies ES to be inspected (not only the address of the company, etc., but also the specific storage location, such as which floor and which room number in a building) is known in advance from the storage / inspection DB28, etc., and the disaster preparedness supplies ES are stored categorized by attribute, so inspection can be carried out efficiently. The inspection includes checking whether the designated disaster preparedness supplies ES are in the designated storage location, whether the quantity is complete (ST209), and for disaster preparedness supplies ES that involve operation, such as portable power supplies and generators, whether they are functioning correctly (ST211). If the quantity is insufficient (NO in ST209), the shortage information is notified to the supplier S and the user U (ST210). If there is a malfunction (NO in ST211), it is confirmed whether the reason is due to the product or the customer, and if it is due to the product (NO in ST212), the shortage information is notified to the supplier S and the user U (ST213). On the other hand, if the issue originates from the customer (YES in ST212), replenishment will be performed for a fee following the procedure from ST410 onwards in Figure 13. 【0055】 Upon receiving information about the shortage of disaster preparedness supplies ES, supplier S (ST214) outputs user information from customer DB26 (ST215), product information from product DB etc. (ST216), and allocates inventory from inventory DB29 (ST217). If there is no inventory (NO in ST218), supplier S orders the shortage (ST219), receives the goods (ST220), stores shipping data in order DB (ST221), ships the shortage (ST222), and user U receives the shortage (ST223). On the other hand, if there is inventory (YES in ST218), shipping data is stored in order DB (ST221), ships the shortage (ST222), and user U receives the shortage (ST223). Meanwhile, supplier S, having shipped the shortage, sends billing information to rental company R (ST227) and updates the inspection deadline management information (ST232). 【0056】 Upon receiving the invoice information from the supplier S, the rental company R sends a message to the user U to that effect (ST228). The user U, having received the invoice information (ST229), sends the payment and sends a message to the rental company R to that effect (ST230). The rental company R, having received the payment information, sends the payment information to the supplier S (ST231), and the supplier S receives the payment information (ST233). 【0057】 Figure 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a contract renewal procedure, specifically an example of renewing a contract before the predetermined contract period (e.g., 3 years or 5 years) has expired. 【0058】 When the contract period of the aforementioned loan agreement ends and the loan agreement is to be renewed, as shown in Figure 12, the supplier S calculates the loan period from the shipping date information in the order DB (ST301) and notifies the rental company R of this before the loan period expires (ST302). The rental company R, having received the notification before the loan period expires (ST303), notifies the user U of this (ST304). The user U, having received the notification before the loan period expires (ST305), decides whether or not to renew (ST306), and if not to renew (NO in ST306), notifies the rental company R of this decision (ST311), the rental company R receives this notification (ST312) and sends this information to the supplier S (ST313), and the supplier S, having received this information (ST314), retrieves the disaster preparedness supplies ES from the user U (ST315). 【0059】 On the other hand, if user U wishes to renew the rental agreement (YES in ST306), he sends a notification to the rental company R (ST307), and upon receiving this information, rental company R (ST308) concludes a renewal agreement for the rental agreement (ST309) and sends the renewal information and user code to supplier S (ST310). 【0060】 Upon receiving the update information and user code, supplier S (ST316) outputs other user information (address, telephone number, fax number, email address, etc.) from customer DB26 based on the user code (ST317), further outputs product names and prices from product DB27 and product DB28 (ST318), and allocates inventory of ordered products from inventory DB29 (ST319). Then, the system checks for inventory availability (ST320). If inventory is available (YES in ST320), the order is confirmed, the order data is stored in the order database 30 (ST323), the product is packaged, and shipped to user U as a new disaster preparedness item ES. At the same time, the previously delivered old disaster preparedness item ES is collected, the shipping information and original order number are stored in the order database 30 (ST324), the shipping information is sent to the rental company R (ST327), the expiration date is managed (ST330), and the billing information is sent to the rental company R (ST331). If inventory is not available (NO in ST320), the system orders the missing items from suppliers S1 to Sn (ST321), receives the missing items (ST322), confirms the order after all items are available, and stores the order data in the order database 30 (ST323). Then, the product is packaged and shipped to user U as a new disaster preparedness item ES. At the same time, the old disaster preparedness item ES that was delivered previously is collected, the shipping information and original order number are stored in the order DB30 (ST324), the shipping information is sent to rental company R (ST327), the expiration date is managed (ST330), and the billing information is sent to rental company R (ST331). In addition, the shipping information sent from supplier S is received by rental company R (ST328). 【0061】 Meanwhile, rental company R, having received billing information from supplier S, sends the information to user U (ST332), user U receives the billing information (ST333), makes a payment, and sends that information to rental company R (ST334). Rental company R, having received payment information from user U, sends that information to supplier S (ST335), and supplier S receives it as payment information (ST336). 【0062】 Figure 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of replenishment of stockpiled supplies. It shows an example of replenishment when a disaster occurs and user U uses the disaster relief stockpiled supplies ES. 【0063】 When replenishing the disaster relief supplies ES, as shown in Figure 13, first, the user U who used the disaster relief supplies ES due to the occurrence of a disaster (ST401) notifies the rental company R (ST402). Upon receiving the notification, the rental company R (ST403) sends the usage information of the supplies and the user code, etc., to the supplier S (ST404). Upon receiving the usage information and the user code, etc., the supplier S (ST405) checks the disaster situation (ST406) and determines whether the disaster is a major disaster (ST407) and whether the disaster occurred within the rental period (ST408). If the rental period has expired (NO in ST308), no replenishment will be carried out. Even if it is not a major disaster (NO in ST407), replenishment can be carried out for a fee. In that case, based on the supply usage information obtained in ST405, a certain amount of supplies will be replenished according to the procedures from ST215 onwards. 【0064】 On the other hand, if it is a severe disaster (YES in ST407) and within the loan period (YES in ST409), other user information (address, telephone number, fax number, email address, etc.) is output from the customer DB26 based on the user code (ST410), and further, product names and prices are output from the product DB27 (ST411), and inventory of ordered products is allocated from the inventory DB (ST412). Then, the availability of inventory is checked (ST413), and if inventory is available (YES in ST413), the order is confirmed and the order data is stored in the order DB30 (ST416). If there is no inventory (NO in ST3413), the missing products are ordered from suppliers S1 to Sn (ST414), the missing products are received (ST415), the replenishment is confirmed after the products are available, and the order data is stored in the order DB30 (ST416). Then, the product is packaged and shipped to the user U as the replenishment of the disaster preparedness supplies ES (ST417), and the shipping information is sent to the rental company R (ST420). The user U receives the new disaster preparedness supplies ES (ST418) and hands over the remaining used disaster preparedness supplies ES to the supplier S (ST419). Meanwhile, the rental company R, having received the shipping information from the supplier S, sends the shipping information to the user U (ST421), and the user U receives the shipping information from the rental company R (ST422). 【0065】 Figure 14 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the procedure for retrieving stockpiled supplies. It shows an example of the procedure for retrieving disaster relief supplies (products) in cases such as when a contract is renewed and the disaster relief supplies (ES) are replaced and the old products are handed over (ST326), or when a disaster occurs and the stockpiled supplies (ES) are replenished and the remaining products are handed over (ST419). 【0066】 As described above, when there is a handover of old products (old disaster preparedness supplies ES) (ST326) or a handover of remaining products (remaining disaster preparedness supplies ES) in connection with the replenishment of supplies ES during a disaster (ST419), the supplier S collects those disaster preparedness supplies ES (ST501). The supplier S then sends the product information of the collected disaster preparedness supplies ES to the rental company R (ST502), and the rental company R sends sorting information to the supplier S based on the received product information (ST503) (ST504). The supplier S receives this information (ST505) and sorts the collected products based on this information (ST506). In the sorting process, any disaster preparedness supplies ES that are determined to be discarded (YES in ST507) are discarded (ST508), a manifest is created, and a report is submitted (ST509). If the disaster preparedness supplies ES are determined not to be discarded (NO in ST507), it is determined whether they can be repaired (ST510). If they can be repaired (YES in ST510), the supplier S repairs them (ST511), stores them (ST512), and sends storage information such as the quantity of each item stored to the rental company R (ST513), and the rental company R receives the storage location information (ST514). On the other hand, if the disaster preparedness supplies ES do not require repair and can be donated (NO in ST510), they are donated (ST515), and this is reported to the rental company R (ST516), and the rental company R receives this information (ST517). 【0067】 The disaster preparedness equipment lending system 10, having the above configuration, lends disaster preparedness equipment SS, which is pre-selected for short-term stays, and disaster preparedness equipment BB, which is pre-selected for taking out and returning home, to user U for a predetermined lending period. The system 10 comprises a disaster preparedness storage room SSS and storage box SSP for storing the short-term stay disaster preparedness equipment SS that are lent to user U, a disaster preparedness backpack 41 for storing the take-out and return-home disaster preparedness equipment BB, and a storage box BBP that can store multiple disaster preparedness backpacks 41. The disaster preparedness equipment ES is stored separately for each of the short-term stay disaster preparedness equipment SS and the take-out and return-home disaster preparedness equipment BB. The system is configured to include a storage means 25, a disaster preparedness supplies supply management means 20 for managing the supply of the disaster preparedness supplies ES, a disaster preparedness supplies periodic inspection management means 20 for performing periodic inspections of the disaster preparedness supplies group lent to the user U, and a disaster preparedness supplies retrieval management means 20 for performing sorting and retrieval according to purpose when retrieving the disaster preparedness supplies ES lent to the user U. Therefore, the disaster preparedness supplies ES that the user U manages over the long term are inspected periodically, so when used in the event of a sudden disaster, there will be no inconvenience such as the disaster preparedness supplies ES being lost or the disaster preparedness supplies that should be working not working. Furthermore, when retrieving the disaster preparedness supplies ES that were not used within the contract period, sorting according to purpose is performed for reuse or as needed internationally. institution This allows for donations to domestic organizations, prevents unnecessary waste, and contributes to the SDGs. Furthermore, since the aforementioned disaster preparedness supplies are stored separately according to their attributes (for short-term stays, for taking out / returning home, etc.), the inspection can be carried out efficiently. 【0068】 Furthermore, the disaster preparedness supplies periodic inspection management means 20 holds the storage location where the user U stores the disaster preparedness supplies ES as storage location information, and periodic inspections are performed based on the storage location information and the disaster preparedness supplies stored at that storage location, so that the inspections can be performed efficiently. 【0069】 Furthermore, the disaster preparedness supplies periodic inspection management means 20 is equipped with means for replenishing or replacing any disaster preparedness supplies ES that are missing or malfunctioning as a result of the inspection, so that when used in the event of a sudden disaster, there will be no inconvenience such as the disaster preparedness supplies being lost or the disaster preparedness supplies ES that should be working not working. 【0070】 Furthermore, the aforementioned disaster preparedness stockpile collection and management system includes a mechanism for selecting items suitable for donation from the sorted collected items and donating them to the appropriate organizations, thereby preventing unnecessary waste and contributing to the SDGs. 【0071】 Furthermore, the aforementioned disaster preparedness stockpile collection and management system includes a mechanism for selecting items suitable for donation from the sorted collected items and donating them to the appropriate organizations, thereby preventing unnecessary waste and contributing to the SDGs. 【0072】 Furthermore, since the disaster preparedness storage facility SSS is equipped with a charging device that periodically charges the electrical equipment stored inside, the inconvenience of the disaster preparedness supplies ES not functioning will not occur.
