In addition, an operation input unit 35, a display unit 36, and a storage unit 37 are connected to the control unit 31 via a bus 32 and an I / O device control unit 34.

  The storage unit 37 stores various programs executed by the control unit 31 and various setting information related to the execution of the programs. The control unit 31 realizes various functional units in cooperation with a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 37, and executes a packing process and a missing part check process described later together with the packing device 12.

  In addition, the storage unit 37 stores an order management file 374, a delivery service management file 375, and the like as data necessary for providing the Internet super service.

  The order management file 374 is a data table for managing (holding) an order product list (described later) transmitted from the network super server 6 by the control unit 31 (order product code storage means 54). FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the order management file 374. As shown in FIG. 3, the order management file 374 holds a record in which a flight number, box number, sequence number, product code, product name, category ID, and check status are associated with each other.

  Here, the flight number is an identifier for identifying a delivery flight that delivers a product, and products having the same flight number are delivered by the same flight. The box number is an identifier for identifying a storage box that stores a product for delivery. The product purchased (ordered) by the online supermarket, that is, the product code (product name) registered in the order management file 374 is stored in the storage box indicated by the box number and delivered to the customer who placed the order. The It is assumed that a unique box number is assigned in advance to each storage box in the form of a code symbol such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code. The sequence number is a management number sequentially assigned to each product having the same flight number.

  The check status is information for indicating whether or not a packing process to be described later has been performed and a product shortage. In this embodiment, when the check status is “0”, it means that the packing process has not been processed, and when it is “1”, it means that the packing process has been processed. Further, when the check status is “9”, it means that the product is a missing item. It is assumed that the initial (default) state of the check status is “0”.

  The delivery flight management file 375 is a data table for managing the delivery date and time corresponding to each flight number. FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the delivery service management file 375. As shown in FIG. 4, the delivery service management file 375 holds the delivery date, delivery time, and deadline time in association with the flight number.

  The delivery date and the delivery time represent the date and time period for delivering the product. Further, the deadline time represents the time when the reception with the corresponding flight number is closed, and FIG. 4 shows an example in which the deadline is 3 hours before the delivery time. The control unit 31 deletes the delivery flight record whose deadline has passed from the delivery flight management file 375 based on the current date and time counted by a timekeeping unit such as an RTC (Real Time Clock) (not shown).

  Next, the packing device 12 will be described. The packing device 12 is a handy terminal or the like that can be carried by a worker who performs a packing operation (hereinafter referred to as a packing operator), and the electrical system is configured as shown in FIG. 5, for example.

  FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating the configuration of the packing device 12. As shown in FIG. 5, the packing device 12 includes a code scanner 41, an operation input unit 42, a display unit 43, a communication interface 44, a storage unit 45, a control unit 46, and the like, and each unit is connected by a bus 47.

  The code scanner 41 reads the code symbol added to the product or the storage box, and outputs the result of decoding the code symbol to the control unit 46. The operation input unit 42 includes an input device such as a keyboard, and outputs an operation signal corresponding to a user operation to the control unit 46. The display unit 43 is configured by a display device such as an LCD, and displays various types of information under the control of the control unit 46. The communication interface 44 is a wireless communication interface connectable to the LAN 3, and accesses the net super management server 11 via the access point 13 under the control of the control unit 46.

  The storage unit 45 includes a storage device such as a flash memory, and stores various programs executed by the control unit 46 and various setting information related to the execution of the programs. The control unit 46 includes a CPU, a ROM, a RAM, and the like, and implements various functional units in cooperation with predetermined programs stored in the storage unit 45. Execute product check processing.

  Here, an example of an operation until a product is purchased (ordered) at the internet supermarket will be described. First, the control unit of the customer terminal 10 (hereinafter simply referred to as the customer terminal 10) accesses the address of the EC site provided by the net super server 6 in accordance with a user operation. On the other hand, when the control unit of the net super server 6 (hereinafter simply referred to as the net super server 6) accepts access from the customer terminal 10, the EC sells products based on a program stored in a storage unit (not shown). An initial page of the site is generated and transmitted to the customer terminal 10. The customer terminal 10 displays the initial page provided from the net super server 6 on a display unit (not shown) and waits for a user operation input.

  FIG. 6 is a front view showing an example of the initial page of the EC site. In FIG. 6, a list of character strings representing each product category (for example, vegetables, fruits, etc.) is displayed in the area A1. In the area A2, icon images representing each product category are displayed in a list.

  When the customer terminal 10 detects that a specific product category (for example, vegetable) is selected by the user from a plurality of product categories displayed in the area A1 or the area A2 of the initial page, the customer terminal 10 The category name or category ID is notified to the net super server 6.

  On the other hand, when receiving the selection notification of the category name or category ID from the customer terminal 10, the net super server 6 refers to the product master file stored in the store server 4 and reads a record corresponding to the category name or category ID. . And the net super server 6 will transmit to the customer terminal 10, if the goods purchase page for receiving a purchase order is produced | generated based on each read record. The customer terminal 10 displays the product purchase page provided from the net super server 6 on a display unit (not shown) and waits for a user operation input.

  FIG. 7 is a front view showing an example of a product purchase page. As shown in FIG. 7, the product purchase page displays a purchase screen G1 for purchasing the product read from the product master file.

  Each time the customer terminal 10 receives a press of the purchase button B1 provided on the purchase screen G1 via a keyboard, mouse, or the like (not shown), the product code, category, and purchase quantity of the corresponding product are used as purchase targets. The server 6 is notified. When the customer terminal 10 receives an instruction to the effect that the product selection has been completed via a keyboard or a mouse (not shown), the customer terminal 10 notifies the net super server 6 of the completion of the selection.

  Next, when receiving a notification of selection completion from the customer terminal 10, the net super server 6 generates a delivery date / time designation page for accepting designation of the delivery date / time and transmits it to the customer terminal 10. The customer terminal 10 displays the delivery date and time designation page provided from the net super server 6 on a display unit (not shown) and waits for a user operation input.

  FIG. 8 is a front view showing an example of a delivery date designation page. As shown in FIG. 8, the delivery date and time designation page area A4 is configured such that the delivery date and time corresponding to each flight number held in the delivery flight management file 375 can be selected. When the customer terminal 10 accepts that a specific delivery date and time has been selected via a keyboard or mouse (not shown), the customer terminal 10 notifies the network super server 6 of the selected delivery date and time.

  When the net super server 6 receives the delivery date / time notification from the customer terminal 10, the net super server 6 generates an ordered product list in which the product code of each product notified as a purchase target is associated with the flight number corresponding to the delivery date / time. To do. Thereafter, the net super server 6 transmits the ordered product list to the net super management server 11 via the Internet 5.

  Each time the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 receives the ordered product list from the net super server 6, the order management file contains the flight number and product code included in the ordered product list in the record format shown in FIG. The data are sequentially stored in 374. The box number is assigned for each product according to the order product list and the type and quantity of the product included in the ordered product list. In addition, sequence numbers are assigned in the order of storage in the order management file 374 for the same flight number.

  A person in charge of picking work in the store of the POS system 5 (hereinafter referred to as a picking worker) operates the net super management server 11 at a time corresponding to each flight number, and responds in the order management file 374. The printer 14 issues a picking slip in which products included in the ordered product list associated with the flight number are extracted by category ID.

  Here, the picking slip issuing process in the net super management server 11 will be described. The control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 cooperates with a picking slip issuing program stored in the storage unit 37 to perform various functional units (code symbol generation means 51, picking slip output means 52, code symbol addition determination means 53). Etc.) and picking slip issuing processing is executed.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the flow of the picking slip issuing process. As shown in FIG. 9, the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 operates the operation input unit 35 constituted by a picking operator such as a keyboard and a mouse, or a time measuring unit such as an RTC (Real Time Clock) not shown. When a picking slip issue instruction for a predetermined flight number is received based on the current date and time counted at (Step S1; Yes), for each product associated with the corresponding flight number in the order management file 374, a product code, The product name, product image, unit price, quantity, etc. are extracted (step S2).

  The control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 collects the product code, product name, product image, unit price, quantity, and the like for each product associated with the flight number in units of categories (step S3).

  Next, the control unit 31 (code symbol addition determination means 53) of the net super management server 11 is connected to the POS terminal 2 without a code symbol such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code attached to the product. It is determined whether there are any products assigned to the operation panel (step S4). The product to which the code symbol is not affixed belongs to categories such as vegetables, side dishes, and fresh fish. Accordingly, such a determination can be made in units of categories such as vegetables, side dishes, and fresh fish. Note that whether or not a code symbol such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code is affixed to a product is not limited to that determined according to the category to which the ordered product belongs, and a code symbol is affixed. The product information may include a flag indicating that no code symbol is attached to a code symbol such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code. good.

  If it is determined that there is a product assigned to the operation panel of the code scanner (step S4; Yes), the control unit 31 (code symbol generation means 51) of the net super management server 11 sets the product code of the product. It is generated in the form of a code symbol such as a bar code or a two-dimensional code (step S5).

  Then, the control unit 31 (picking slip output means 52) of the net super management server 11 has a product code, a product name, a product image, a unit price, a quantity, and a code symbol if necessary for each product associated with the flight number. Are issued as a picking slip collected in units of categories (step S6).

  FIG. 10 is a plan view showing an example of the picking slip 100. As shown in FIG. 10, the picking slip 100 is a product code, product name, product image, unit price, quantity, and the like printed in units of categories for each product associated with the corresponding flight number in the order management file 374. It is. Since the picking slip 100 is issued in units of categories as described above, products can be picked efficiently for each department.

  In addition, the picking slip 100 uses a code symbol C such as a barcode or a two-dimensional code representing a product code of a product assigned to the operation panel of the code scanner (a product without a code symbol). It is printed in the special remarks column as one of the product information. By printing the code symbol C representing the product code of the product assigned to the operation panel of the code scanner in this way, the code symbol C of the picking slip 100 is used during the packing process and the shortage check process described later. Can be sorted in the same manner as the scanning of code symbols added to products. In particular, when it is determined whether or not a code symbol is attached according to the category to which the order product belongs, the products assigned to the operation panel of the code scanner (products without the code symbol) are collected. The picking slip 100 can be output in a manner.

  Based on the issued picking slip 100, the picking operator collects each product associated with the corresponding flight number in the order management file 374 from the store. The collected products are then transported to a backyard or the like and delivered to a packing operator.

  By the way, in the picking work based on the issued picking slip 100, if the target product is a gram sale product such as meat or fish or a quantity sale product such as side dish, the picking operator needs to be careful. This is because, in the case of a NON-PLU product in which the sales amount is recorded in a code symbol such as a gram sale product or a quantity sale product, there is a case where a product with the same price as the product ordered at the net supermarket does not exist in the store Because. In this way, when a product having the same price as the product ordered at the online supermarket does not exist in the store, the picking worker gives a range to the sales price on the picking slip 100 (for example, sales on the picking slip 100). Pick a product that is higher than the price.

  As described above, when a product having the same price as the product ordered at the online supermarket does not exist in the store, the picking worker gives a range to the sales price on the picking slip 100 (for example, the picking slip 100 The processing in the case of picking a product with a price higher than the above sales amount will be described later.

  Hereinafter, with reference to FIG. 11, a packing process and a missing part check process executed in cooperation with the net super management server 11 and the packing device 12 will be described. The control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 cooperates with the packing processing program stored in the storage unit 37 to provide various functional units (ordered product code storage unit 54, product code input unit 55, comparison unit 56, price information). Comparing means 57, merchandise replacement means 58, etc.) are implemented, and part of the packing process and the missing item check process is executed.

  Here, FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the flow of the packing process and the missing part check process executed in cooperation with the net super management server 11 and the packing device 12. As a premise of this processing, it is assumed that a flight number related to the main packing work is input via the operation input unit 42 by a packing operator who operates the packing device 12 (step S11; Yes). Also, it is assumed that one of the products delivered from the picking operator is picked up by the packing operator and the code symbol added to the product is read by the code scanner 41 of the packing device 12.

  As described above, the code symbol C of the picking slip 100 is read by the code scanner 41 of the packing device 12 for a product that is not pasted with a code symbol and is assigned to the operation panel of the code scanner. . The code symbol C of the picking slip 100 is read by the code scanner 41 of the packing device 12 because the picking slip 100 is issued for each category such as vegetables, prepared dishes, fresh fish, etc. It is efficient to do it after reading all.

  First, when the control unit 46 (product code input means 55) of the packing device 12 obtains the product code read by the code scanner 41 (step S12), the combination of the previously entered flight number and this product code is net superposed. The box number is inquired by notifying the management server 11 (step S13).

  When the control unit 31 (comparison unit 56) of the net super management server 11 receives the combination of the flight number and the product code from the packing device 12, it corresponds to this combination from the order management file 374 and the check status is unprocessed. A record is searched (step S31), and it is determined whether or not the corresponding record exists (step S32).

  If it is determined in step S32 that the corresponding record exists (step S32; Yes), the control unit 31 sets the box number associated with the smallest value among the sequence numbers included in each corresponding record to the packing device 12. (Step S34).

  On the other hand, if it is determined that the corresponding record does not exist (step S32; No), the control unit 31 (comparison unit 56) executes a NON-PLU (Price Look UP) product handling process (step S33).

  The NON-PLU product handling process in step S33 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. As shown in FIG. 12, the control unit 31 (comparison means 56) of the net super management server 11 first determines whether or not the product code of the product to be packed is a NON-PLU product (step S51). Whether or not it is a NON-PLU product can be determined by, for example, setting a flag indicating whether or not it is a NON-PLU product in association with the product code and checking this flag.

  If the product code of the product to be packed is not a NON-PLU product (step S51; No), the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 sends a message to the packing device 12 that it is not necessary to sort the notified product code. (Step S52).

  On the other hand, when the product code of the product to be packed is a NON-PLU product (step S51; Yes), the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 includes the product code part and the price part (price information) included in the product code. ) Is extracted (step S53), and the order management file 374 is searched using the article code part as a search condition (step S54).

  If it is determined that the corresponding record does not exist (step S55; No), the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 transmits a message to the packing apparatus 12 that the notified product code is not required to be sorted (step S55). S52), the process is terminated.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the corresponding record exists (step S55; Yes), the control unit 31 (price information comparison unit 57) of the net super management server 11 acquires the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount of the notified product code. (Step S56).

  For example, FIG. 13 shows an example of the case where the percentage of the upper limit amount range of the NON-PLU product is set to “plus 5%” and the percentage of the lower limit amount range is set to “minus 0%”. In FIG. 13, the value after the decimal point is rounded off to the first decimal place.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of the case where the percentage of the upper limit amount range of the NON-PLU product is set to “plus 5%” and the percentage of the lower limit amount range is set to “minus 5%”. In FIG. 14, the value after the decimal point is rounded to the first decimal place.

  Next, the control unit 31 (price information comparison unit 57) of the net super management server 11 compares the amount part of the scanned product code with the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount acquired in step S56, and determines the scanned product code. It is determined whether or not the amount part is within the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount (step S57).

  When it is determined that the amount part of the scanned product code is within the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount (step S58; Yes), the control unit 31 (product replacement means 58) of the net super management server 11 corresponds to the scanned product code. The box number associated with the smallest value among the sequence numbers included in each record to be transmitted is transmitted to the packing device 12 (step S59).

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 13, when 100 g of ordered products (sales amount 150 yen) does not exist in the store and 105 g of inventory products (sales amount 158 yen) are picked and scanned, 105 g Since the inventory product (sales amount 158 yen) exists within the upper limit and the lower limit amount, the packing work is performed by regarding the 105 g inventory product (sales amount 158 yen) as the 100 g order product (sales amount 150 yen). Proceed. This is because the NON-PLU merchandise can be packed even if there is a slight deviation in the amount of money rather than the exact same merchandise code.

  On the other hand, when it is determined that the amount part of the scanned product code does not exist within the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount (step S58; No), the control unit 31 (product replacement means 58) of the net super management server 11 is notified. A message to the effect that product code sorting is not required is transmitted to the packing device 12 (step S52).

  For example, in the example shown in FIG. 13, when 100 g of ordered products (sales amount of 150 yen) does not exist in the store and 110 g of inventory products (sales amount of 165 yen) are picked and scanned, Since inventory products (sales amount of 165 yen) do not exist within the upper limit amount and the lower limit amount, 110 g of inventory products (sales amount of 165 yen) cannot be regarded as 100 g order items (sales amount of 150 yen).

  Thus, the NON-PLU product handling process in step S33 is completed.

  Returning to FIG. 11, the control unit 46 of the packing device 12 determines whether or not a box number is transmitted from the net super management server 11, and when receiving a message indicating that the product code is not sorted (step S <b> 11). S14; No), this message is displayed on the display unit 43 (step S15), and the process is terminated. Thereby, the packing operator can easily determine whether or not the product needs to be sorted by checking the message displayed on the display unit 43.

  When the box number is received from the net super management server 11 in step S14 (step S14; Yes), the control unit 46 displays the value of the box number on the display unit 43 (step S16), and the code scanner 41 (Step S17; No).

  Here, the packing operator stores the obtained product in the storage box corresponding to the box number displayed in step S16, and then uses the code scanner 41 of the packing device 12 to store the box number added to the storage box. Read.

  When the box number is input via the code scanner 41 (step S17; Yes), the control unit 46 of the packing apparatus 12 transmits the box number to the net super management server 11, thereby matching the box number. Is confirmed (step S18).

  When receiving the box number notification from the packing device 12, the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 determines whether or not the box number matches the box number transmitted in step S24 (step S35). Here, when it determines with it being inconsistent (step S35; No), the control part 31 transmits the message to the effect that the classification destination has an error to the packing apparatus 12 (step S36).

  If it is determined in step S35 that both box numbers match (step S35; Yes), the control unit 31 transmits a message indicating that the sorting destination is correct to the packing device 12 (step S37). When receiving the message transmitted from the net super management server 11, the control unit 46 of the packing device 12 displays this message on the display unit 43 (step S19).

  Thereby, the packing operator can easily determine whether or not the sorting has been performed correctly by checking the message displayed on the display unit 43. In the present embodiment, the net super management server 11 determines whether the box number matches, but the box number transmitted from the net super management server 11 and the box number input via the code scanner 41 , The packing device 12 itself may make a match determination.

  Subsequently, the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 changes the check status included in the sequence number record to be processed to “1” representing processed (step S38).

  When the packing operator performs the above-described packing process for all the products delivered from the picking operator, the packing operator performs an operation for instructing that the sorting is completed via the operation input unit 42. When the control unit 46 of the packing apparatus 12 receives an instruction for completion of sorting through the operation input unit 42 (step S20; Yes), the network super management server receives the previously entered flight number and sorting completion information indicating sorting completion. 11 (step S21).

  On the other hand, when receiving the flight number and sorting completion information from the packing device 12, the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 refers to the order management file 374 and checks the check status included in each record corresponding to this flight number. If there is one of “0” representing unprocessed (step S39; Yes), a message indicating that there is an unprocessed product (for example, a list of unprocessed products) is transmitted to the packing device 12 ( In step S40), among the check statuses included in each record corresponding to the flight number, "0" indicating unprocessed is changed to "9" indicating missing item (step S41), and the process is terminated. .

  When the control unit 46 of the packing device 12 receives a message (for example, a list of unprocessed products) transmitted from the net super management server 11, the control unit 46 displays this message on the display unit 43 (step S22) and ends the process. To do.

  On the other hand, the control unit 31 of the net super management server 11 ends the process as it is if there is no “0” indicating unprocessed (step S39; No).

  As described above, when the code symbol added to the product picked by the packing operator is scanned (read) by the code scanner 41 of the packing device 12, the box number assigned to each customer is displayed on the packing device 12. Since the packing operator sorts each product into a storage box based on the box number displayed on the packing device 12, mistakes can be reduced and work efficiency can be improved.

  The products sorted into the storage box by the packing operator in the store serving as the delivery source in this manner are delivered to the delivery staff together with the delivery slip (receipt slip) 200 shown in FIG. Delivered. After the delivery of the product is completed, the customer's receipt signature or stamped delivery slip (receipt slip) 200 is returned to the store equipped with the POS system 7.

  Further, the store cashier reads the code symbol (including the sales price at the time of purchase at the Internet supermarket) of each product printed on the delivery slip (receipt slip) 200 returned to the store by the code scanner of the POS terminal 2. . Similarly to the normal sales process, the POS terminal 2 reads the code symbol added to each product printed on the delivery slip (receipt slip) 200 by the code scanner, and at the time of purchase at the net supermarket included in the code symbol. After calculating the total amount of these products based on the sales price and the number of products sold and generating settlement data, the sales data is transmitted to the store server 4 at a predetermined timing.

  By including the sales price at the time of purchase at the net supermarket in the code symbol of each product printed on the delivery slip (receipt slip) 200 as described above, the sales price of the real store can be obtained by the next day delivery or time service, for example. Even if they are different, sales will be recorded at the selling price when purchased at the online supermarket.

  Further, as described above, even if a 100 g product (sales amount 150 yen) does not exist in the store and a 105 g product (sales amount 158 yen) is picked and scanned, a delivery slip (receipt slip) ) The product printed on 200 is a 100 g product (sales amount 150 yen). By doing in this way, it is possible to give a good feeling to the customer.

  As described above, according to the present embodiment, the product code associated with the stock product and the product code of the ordered product do not match, but the comparison result is a NON-PLU code having a common product code. If there is a difference between the price information included in the product code associated with the stock product and the price information contained in the product code of the ordered product is within a predetermined range, order the stock product. Since it is regarded as a product, even if a product with the same price as a product ordered at an online supermarket does not exist in the store, it can be dealt with without causing a shortage (out of stock).

  In addition, according to the present embodiment, since the code symbol is included as one of the product information in the picking slip used for picking the ordered product in the store, the product collected by the picking work based on the picking slip is provided for each customer. When performing sorting work for sorting, products that do not have code symbols such as barcodes and two-dimensional codes attached to products can be packed by scanning code symbols on the picking slip. Efficiency can be improved.

  The embodiment of the present invention has been described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and various modifications, substitutions, additions, and the like are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
