Description

  The present invention relates to a transportation business support system that performs business support concerning the provision of transportation services using a digital pen.

  For example, in the transportation business by charter flights, the transportation fee is determined according to the time required for transportation, that is, the length of time for providing the transportation service.

  On the other hand, in recent years, a pen-type input device called a digital pen has appeared, and “Anoto pen” developed by Swedish company Anoto is known as a typical one. The anotopen is used together with dedicated paper on which a background pattern (specifically, a dot pattern) capable of specifying the paper type and the position coordinates on the paper is printed. In addition to a normal ink-type pen tip, the Anoto pen is equipped with a camera for reading a dot pattern printed on dedicated paper, a processor, a memory, a data communication unit, a battery, and the like.

  When the user writes characters on the special paper with an annotation pen or checks the image designed on the special paper, the processor installed on the anoto pen captures the dots captured by the camera as the pen moves. Using the pattern image, handwriting data indicating the handwriting of characters and figures written on the dedicated paper is generated. The generated handwriting data is stored in the memory in association with time information (hereinafter referred to as entry time information) indicating the time when writing on the dedicated paper is performed. Further, the Anotopen can transmit handwriting data and entry time information to a mobile communication terminal such as a nearby mobile phone terminal by the data communication unit.

  Various digital pens that can generate handwriting data representing handwriting by the pen tip are known, not limited to the anotopen. For example, there is a digital pen in which a pen having a pen tip portion and a handwriting data generation device that generates handwriting data by the pen are separated. Specifically, a pen tip, an infrared transmitter, and an ultrasonic transmitter are mounted on the pen side. An infrared sensor, two ultrasonic sensors, a handwriting data generation unit, a memory, and a data communication unit are mounted on the handwriting data generation device side. Then, the handwriting data generation apparatus calculates the handwriting of the pen tip portion using the difference between the infrared reception time by the infrared sensor and the ultrasonic reception time by the two ultrasonic sensors.

By using a digital pen such as the anotopen described above, it is possible to easily obtain characters, figures and the like written on paper as digital data. For this reason, digital pens are expected to improve the efficiency of business operations that require entry on paper. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system that uses a digital pen to improve the efficiency of product and facility maintenance work.

  In the transportation business such as the charter flight described above, a transportation slip handwritten by a person in charge of transportation is generally used. However, if the transportation service provision time is calculated based on the time entered in the handwritten transportation slip and the billing process is performed according to the transportation service provision time, it will be fraudulent due to incorrect entry or incorrect entry of the transportation slip. There is a problem that it is difficult to prevent billing.

  A first aspect of the present invention is a transportation business support system including a digital pen and a server device. The digital pen includes a pen tip and a transport slip provided with first and second time entry areas for entering first and second times relating to the provision of transportation service, respectively. A handwriting data generation unit that generates handwriting data representing the handwritten data, a memory that stores time information indicating the time when the handwriting data and the transport slip are written, the handwriting data, and the writing time And a transmission unit for transmitting information.

  Further, the server device includes a receiving means for receiving the handwriting data and the entry time information, an entry time in each of the first and second time entry areas recognized from the handwriting data, and the entry time. Collating means for collating the entry times to each of the first and second time entry areas specified from the information, and a transportation fee based on the entry times to each of the first and second time entry areas Charge calculating means for calculating

  According to the transportation business support system configured as described above, the time entered in the first and second time entry areas of the transportation slip by the digital pen can be specified based on the handwriting data. In addition to the specification based on the handwriting data, the time at which each of the first and second time entry areas is entered can be identified by the entry time information transmitted from the digital pen. Then, by collating the entry times specified based on these two different pieces of information, it is possible to detect unauthorized entry and entry errors in the first and second time entry areas of the transportation slip. Therefore, the transportation business support system according to the first aspect can prevent unauthorized charges from being caused by unauthorized entry or entry error of the transportation slip.

  The server device may further include fraud detection means for detecting fraudulent entry in the transportation slip when the collation result by the collation means indicates a mismatch.

  In the transportation work support system according to the first aspect described above, for example, the first and second time entry areas may be configured as entry areas for the provision start time and the provision completion time of the transportation service. At this time, the fee calculation means increases the fee as the transportation service provision time is longer, based on the transportation service provision time determined using the entry time in each of the first and second time entry areas. It is better to calculate the transportation fee so that With such a configuration, the transportation service provision time can be easily calculated, and the billing process according to the transportation service provision time can be performed smoothly.

  Moreover, the transportation work support system according to the first aspect described above may further include a mobile communication terminal. Here, the portable communication terminal has communication means for receiving the handwriting data and the entry time information transmitted from the digital pen and transferring the received handwriting data and the entry time information to the server device. Configured. In addition, the server device includes position information acquisition means for acquiring position information of the mobile communication terminal, and the position where the first time entry area is written and the second time entry area using the position information. Is further provided with position specifying means for specifying the position in which is entered. Further, the fee calculation means included in the server device includes a transportation service provision time determined using entry times in each of the first and second time entry areas, and at least the first time entry area. And the transport distance determined using the position where the second time entry area is filled, and the longer the service provision time and the longer the transport distance, the higher the fee. Thus, the transportation fee may be calculated. With such a configuration, the transportation service provision time and the transportation distance can be easily calculated, and the billing process according to the transportation service provision time and the transportation distance can be performed smoothly.

  The digital pen according to the first aspect of the present invention may be configured like the digital pen 10 according to the first and second embodiments of the invention to be described later. That is, the digital pen is configured by mounting the pen tip unit, the handwriting data generation unit, the memory and the transmission unit, and a camera in one housing, and the handwriting data generation unit is configured by the camera. The handwriting data may be generated by recognizing a background pattern. Here, the background pattern is a pattern capable of specifying the position coordinates of the transportation slip provided on the surface of the transportation slip.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to prevent unauthorized charges from being caused due to incorrect entry of a transportation slip or entry error in transportation work such as charter flights.

  Hereinafter, specific embodiments to which the present invention is applied will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and redundant description is omitted as necessary for the sake of clarity.

Embodiment 1 of the Invention
FIG. 1 shows a configuration of a transportation business support system 1 according to the present embodiment. The transportation business support system 1 includes a digital pen 10, a transportation slip 11, and a transportation business server 14.

  The digital pen 10 is a device that can generate handwriting data indicating handwriting written on dedicated paper by a user. The digital pen 10 is used together with dedicated paper on which a background pattern capable of specifying position coordinates on the paper surface is printed. The digital pen 10 can transmit the generated handwriting data to the mobile phone terminal 12. For example, the above-described anotopen can be used as the digital pen 10. In the following description, it is assumed that the digital pen 10 is the anotopen described above.

  In the present embodiment, the transport slip 11 is used as a dedicated paper on which a background pattern that can be read by the digital pen 10 is printed. The digital pen 10 acquires handwriting data indicating the handwriting entered in the transportation slip 11 by the user, and fills the acquired handwriting data with the entry time information indicating the time when the transportation slip 11 was entered and the digital pen 10. Along with the identifiable pen ID information, it is transmitted to the mobile phone terminal 12. Data transfer between the digital pen 10 and the mobile phone terminal 12 is performed using a wired communication technology such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) or a short-range wireless communication technology such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  The mobile phone terminal 12 transfers the handwriting data, entry time information, and pen ID information received from the digital pen 10 to the transportation service server 14 via the communication network 13. The transportation business server 14 specifies the transmission source digital pen 10 based on the pen ID information, detects fraudulent entry in the transportation slip 11 and calculates transportation charges using the handwriting data and entry time information.

  Next, each component such as the digital pen 10 and the transportation slip 11 included in the transportation business support system 1 will be described in detail below. FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram of the digital pen 10 showing main parts related to storage and transmission of handwriting data. The digital pen 10 includes a camera 101, a processor 102, a memory 103, a pressure sensor 104, a clock 105, a data communication unit 106, and a battery in addition to a normal ink-type pen tip unit 100.

  The camera 101 is used to read a background pattern printed on dedicated paper. Specifically, the camera 101 receives reflected light that is emitted from a light source (not shown) and reflected by dedicated paper. The background pattern in the Anoto system is a dot pattern that can uniquely specify the type of dedicated paper and the position coordinates on the paper surface. As an example, when an infrared light source is used as the light source, the surface of the special paper may be made of a material that reflects infrared rays, and a dot pattern may be printed with ink that absorbs infrared rays. As a result, the camera 101 can capture a dot pattern. In addition, since the dot pattern printed on the Anoto type exclusive paper has already been disclosed in various documents such as Patent Document 1 described above, detailed description regarding the dot pattern is omitted in this specification.

  The processor 102 performs overall control of the digital pen 10 and generates handwriting data and entry time information. Specifically, the processor 102 generates handwriting data based on an image captured by the camera 101, and stores the generated handwriting data in the memory 103 together with entry time information. Further, the processor 102 detects that an entry has been made in a predetermined area on the dedicated paper based on the generated handwriting data, and executes a preset operation in response to detection of entry in the area. To do. For example, by assigning a partial area of the dedicated paper to the “transmission check area”, handwriting data and entry time to the mobile phone terminal 12 in response to the processor 102 detecting entry in the transmission check area Information transmission processing can be executed.

  The memory 103 is configured as a volatile memory such as a DRAM or a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, or a combination thereof, and is used to store data and programs used by the digital pen 10 and data generated by the digital pen 10. Is done.

  The pressure sensor 104 is a sensor that detects a change in pressure acting on the tip of the pen tip 100. The processor 102 described above detects that a user is performing an entry operation using the digital pen 10 based on a change in pressure detected by the pressure sensor 104, and generates a handwriting pattern.

  The clock 105 is a means for measuring time such as a hardware clock. The processor 102 refers to the clock 105 to generate the entry time information described above.

  The data communication unit 106 transmits handwriting data, entry time information, and pen ID information to the mobile phone terminal 12. The data communication unit 106 may use an existing wired communication interface such as USB (Universal Serial Bus) or a short-range wireless communication interface such as Bluetooth (registered trademark).

  Finally, the battery 107 supplies operating power to various functional units such as the camera 101 and the processor 102 included in the digital pen 10.

  In this way, the digital pen 10 generates handwriting data and entry time information corresponding to characters and figures entered on the dedicated paper (in the present embodiment, the transport slip 11) by the user, and the mobile phone terminal 12 Send. The handwriting data generated by the digital pen 10 only needs to be able to identify the handwriting of the user. One specific example of the handwriting data is a coordinate data string indicating a change with time of the coordinates where the entry has been made. Further, if the processor 102 is configured to execute the character recognition process, the character corresponding to the coordinate data string can be recognized. In this case, the handwriting data may be text data indicating the recognized character string.

  Next, the transportation slip 11 will be described. A specific example of the transportation slip 11 is shown in FIG. A transportation slip 11 shown in FIG. 3 indicates a transportation slip used for a transportation service by a charter flight method using a truck. The charter flight method is also called an exclusive transportation method, and is a method in which containers, trucks, cargo ships, cargo planes, etc. are rented out to transport the cargo of a specific shipper. Generally, in the charter flight method, the transportation fee is calculated according to the time required for transportation, that is, the length of time for providing the transportation service.

  In addition to the slip number entry field, the delivery address entry field, the order number entry field, and the product number and quantity entry field in the left column, the transportation slip 11 shown in FIG. A transmission check area 117 is printed.

  The entry area 110 is an area in which basic information related to the provision of transportation services by charter flights is entered. Specifically, the provision date of the transportation service, the transportation slip number, a check box indicating reissue of the transportation slip, and It includes a driver code, office code, and license plate number entry area for identifying the person in charge of transportation operations.

  The entry area 111 is an area for filling in that there is a request for providing a transportation service by charter flight (specifically, a check box indicating whether or not an order has been accepted and an entry of the order acceptance time) Includes area.

  The entry area 112 is an area for filling in the fact that there is a fact that the truck on which the package is loaded has departed from the warehouse after the order has been received. Includes an entry area for the warehouse departure time.

  The entry area 113 is an area for filling in the arrival at the destination (local) of the transportation business. Specifically, the entry area 113 is a check box indicating that the destination has been reached, and the destination arrival time. Includes an entry area and a check box indicating the occurrence of a standby state. Here, the standby state refers to a state in which a waiting time is generated from the arrival of the destination to the delivery of the package because the package cannot be delivered for some reason after arrival at the destination.

  The entry area 114 is an area for entering that the delivery of the package has been completed after arriving at the destination of the transportation business. Specifically, the entry area 114 is a check box indicating that the delivery has been completed, and a delivery completion time. It includes an entry area and a sign entry field for the person in charge of delivery of goods (customer). In addition, when charter flights are used for collection of defective or leased items, baggage collection may occur at the destination. Therefore, the entry area 114 also includes a check box indicating that the entry has been completed.

  The entry area 115 is an area for filling in that the provision of all transportation services has been completed. Specifically, a check box indicating that the provision of services has been completed, a completion time entry area, and transportation. Includes a distance entry area.

  The entry area 116 is an area for entering a correction content of the transportation slip 11 or a declaration of invalidation of the slip, specifically, a check box indicating that the description content is corrected, and an entry relating to the correction. It includes a number indicating the area, a time after correction, and a check box indicating invalidation (deletion) of the slip.

  Finally, the transmission check area 117 is an area provided for instructing the digital pen 10 to transmit data. That is, when a check mark is entered in the transmission check area 117, the digital pen 10 transmits the handwriting data and entry time information accumulated so far to the mobile phone terminal 12, and the transmission to the mobile phone terminal 12 is completed. The handwriting data and the entry time information are deleted and accumulation of new data is started. An entry in the transmission check area 117 for transferring the handwriting data and entry time information to the transportation service server 14 may be performed each time the entry areas 110 to 116 are completed, and a plurality of entries are included. It may be performed at the timing when the area is filled.

  4 to 7 are diagrams showing specific examples of entry in the entry areas 111 to 116 of the transportation slip 11 shown in FIG. FIG. 4 shows the contents that are filled in when there is a request to provide a transportation service by charter flights. Specifically, a check mark is entered in the check box 311, and the order reception time is entered in the time entry area 312. In the example of FIG. 4, the order reception time is 10:05.

  FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of entry in the entry area 116 when the entry contents of the transportation slip 11 are corrected. Specifically, FIG. 5 shows correction items when there is an error in the contents of the time entry area 312 in which the order acceptance time is entered. A check mark is entered in the check box 321, and a correction number entry field 322. The item number related to the correction is entered, and the corrected time (here, the order reception time) is entered in the time entry area 323. In the example of FIG. 5, the corrected order reception time is 10:15. When the entry contents are corrected using the entry area 116, the corrected time is referred to when the transportation fee is calculated by the transportation business server 14.

  FIG. 6 shows an example of entry of the transportation slip 11 when the provision of the transportation service is completed. When the provision of the transportation service is completed, a check mark is entered in the check box 331, the completion time is entered in the time entry area 332, and the transportation distance is entered in the distance entry area 333. In the distance entry area 333, for example, a value obtained from a track mileage meter is entered.

  In the example of FIG. 6, all of the entry areas 111 to 115 are used, but only some of them may be used. Which entry area is used is specifically determined according to the transportation service provided. For example, only an area in which the time indicating the starting point in calculating the provision time of the transportation service is entered and an area in which the time indicating the end point is entered may be used. For example, there are an order reception time entry area 312 in the entry area 111 and a completion time entry area 332 in the entry area 115.

  FIG. 7 shows an example of entry of the transportation slip 11 when a standby state occurs. If the package is not delivered immediately after arrival at the transport destination (local location), the local arrival time is entered in the time entry area 342 and a check mark is entered in the check box 341 indicating that it is in a standby state. The

  In the example of FIG. 7, the transportation service server 14 can calculate the standby time based on the difference between the time entered in the time entry area 342 and the time entered in the time entry area 351 or 332. Therefore, for example, it is possible to individually calculate the fee determined according to the time required from the start of provision of the transportation service to the arrival at the site and the fee determined according to the waiting time, and add these together to calculate the transportation fee It is.

  Next, a configuration example of the transportation business server 14 will be described. FIG. 8 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the transportation business server 14. As shown in FIG. 8, a typical computer system can be used for the transportation business server 14. In FIG. 8, a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 140 executes an operation system (OS) 145 and a business support program 146 stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) 142 or a non-volatile storage device 144. The instructions described in the business support program 146 are executed by the CPU 140, whereby the computer system in FIG. 8 operates as the transportation business server 14. The business support program 146 does not have to be a single program, and may be configured as a set of a plurality of programs.

  The communication interface 143 is an interface that connects the transportation service server 14 to the communication network 13 and receives pen ID information, handwriting data, and entry time information from the mobile phone terminal 12.

  The nonvolatile storage device 144 stores the pen ID information 15, handwriting data 16, and entry time information 17 received from the mobile phone terminal 12 in addition to the OS 145 and the business support program 146. As the nonvolatile storage device 144, a hard disk drive, a magneto-optical disk drive, a flash memory, or the like can be used. The non-volatile storage device 144 may be a storage device provided in a single computer together with other components. For example, the non-volatile storage device 144 may be configured as a physically separated network storage, and may include a plurality of hard disks. You may comprise by the combination of a drive and flash memory.

  Next, the transportation fee calculation process by the transportation business server 14 will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the charge calculation processing by the transportation business server 14. In step S <b> 11, pen ID information, handwriting data, and entry time information are received from the digital pen 10 via the mobile phone terminal 12 and the communication network 13. In step S12, it is verified whether an incorrect time is entered in the transportation slip 11 using the received handwriting data and entry time information.

  Here, the detailed procedure of the fraud detection process of step S12 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. In step S21, the time entered in the time entry areas 312, 332, etc. of the transport slip 11 is specified based on the handwriting data. More specifically, when the handwriting data is a coordinate data string indicating the change in the entry position over time, the number corresponding to the coordinate data string is recognized and entered in the time entry areas 312, 332, etc. Can be specified. When handwriting data is received as text data indicating a recognized character string, the time entered in the time entry areas 312, 332, etc. can be specified directly from the contents of the text data.

  In step S22, the time entered in the time entry areas 312, 332, etc. of the transportation slip 11 is specified based on the entry time information. More specifically, the generation time of handwriting data corresponding to the position coordinates of each time entry area is specified based on the correspondence between handwriting data and entry time information.

  In step S23, the time specified in step S21 is collated with the time specified in step S22. Here, the time specified in step S21 indicates the content handwritten on the transportation slip 11 by the person in charge of transportation. On the other hand, the time specified in step S22 is the time when the digital pen 10 records the time when the time entry area of the transportation slip 11 was entered using the clock 105 built in the digital pen 10. Therefore, by collating these two times, it is possible to verify whether the contents written in the time entry area by the person in charge of transportation are illegal. Even if the entry time by the person in charge of transportation is accurate, if the clock 105 built in the digital pen 10 does not indicate the correct time, the two do not match. In short, it is possible to detect a state in which the accuracy of the entry time of the transportation slip 11 is not guaranteed by comparing the two times specified in steps S21 and S22.

  If the two entry times match in the collation in step S23, it is determined that there is no fraud (steps S24 and S25). On the other hand, if the two entry times do not match, it is determined that there is fraud (steps S24 and S26). Note that “match” between two times does not need to be exact match. In general, there is an error between the time recognized by the person in charge of transportation by looking at his watch or the like and the entry time information generated by the built-in clock 105 of the digital pen 10. Therefore, for example, when the difference between two times is within a predetermined range, it may be determined as “match”.

  Returning to the chart of FIG. In step S13, it is determined whether the fraud detection result in step S12 indicates no fraud or fraud. If there is fraud, the charge calculation process is canceled. If there is no fraud, the provision time of the transportation service is calculated in step S14.

  The provision time of the transportation service is calculated by using entry times for at least two time entry areas among a plurality of time entry areas 312, 342, 332, etc. provided in the transportation slip 11. For example, as described above, depending on the difference between the time when the order reception time entry area 312 indicating the provision start time of the transportation service is entered and the time when the completion time entry area 332 indicating the end time is entered, The provision time may be calculated. The calculation of the transportation service provision time may be performed using either the time specified in step S21 or the time specified in S22.

  Finally, in step S15, according to the length of the provision time of the transportation service, specifically, the transportation fee is calculated such that the longer the provision time, the higher the fee. For example, the transportation fee may be calculated by multiplying the provision time of the transportation service by a predetermined coefficient. Further, the transportation charge may be determined depending on which of a plurality of predetermined charge categories the transportation service provision time corresponds to.

  As described above, the transportation work support system 1 can specify the time entered in the plurality of time entry areas 312 and 332 of the transportation slip 11 by the digital pen 10 based on the handwriting data. In addition to the specification based on the handwriting data, the time at which each of the plurality of time entry areas 312, 332, etc. is entered can also be identified by the entry time information transmitted from the digital pen 10. The entry time specified based on these two different pieces of information is collated to detect unauthorized entry or entry error in the time entry areas 312 and 332 of the transportation slip 11. As a result, the transportation business support system 1 can prevent unauthorized entry of the transportation slip 11 and unauthorized charges due to entry errors. In addition, the transportation fee can be accurately calculated.

  In the present embodiment, the data transfer between the digital pen 10 and the transportation business server 14 has been described as being performed via the mobile phone terminal 12. However, if the digital pen 10 has a communication function that can be directly connected to a communication network 13 such as the Internet, data can be transmitted to the transportation service server 14 without going through a communication terminal such as the mobile phone terminal 12. Good.

Embodiment 2 of the Invention
FIG. 11 shows the configuration of the transportation work support system 2 according to the present embodiment. The difference between the transportation business support system 2 and the transportation business support system 1 described above is that the transportation business server 24 can acquire the location information of the mobile phone terminal 12 from the location information server 25.

  The mobile phone terminal 12 has an antenna (not shown) that receives radio waves transmitted from a GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite, and application software (not shown) that performs position measurement using a received signal from the GPS satellite. (Shown).

  The position information server 25 receives the position information of the mobile phone terminal 12 measured by GPS from the mobile phone terminal 12. The location information server 25 notifies the transportation service server 24 of the location information of the mobile phone terminal 12.

  In addition to the transportation service provision time calculated using handwriting data or entry time information transmitted from the digital pen 10, the transportation service server 24 calculates the transportation distance calculated using the location information of the mobile phone terminal 12. Use to calculate the freight charge.

  A procedure for calculating a transportation charge by the transportation business server 24 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. The fraud detection process corresponding to the first half of FIG. 12 and the calculation process of the delivery service provision time are the same as steps S11 to S14 of FIG. 9 described above.

  In step S35, the location information of the mobile phone terminal 12 is acquired from the location information server 25. In step S36, the movement route of the mobile phone terminal 12 associated with the transportation work is determined with reference to the acquired position information, and the transportation distance is calculated as the length of the movement route. In step S37, the transportation fee is calculated according to the length of the provision time of the transportation service and the length of the transportation distance. Specifically, the transportation fee may be determined such that the longer the transportation service is provided and the longer the transportation distance, the higher the fee.

  As described above, according to the transportation business support system 2 according to the present embodiment, the transportation business server 24 can quickly and accurately grasp the transportation service provision time and the transportation distance. Moreover, it is possible to perform detailed and detailed charge calculation using the grasped transportation service provision time and transportation distance.

Other embodiments.
In the first and second embodiments of the present invention described above, the digital pen 10 is an anotopen configured by mounting the pen tip unit 100, the camera 101, the processor 102, the memory 105, the data communication unit 106, and the like in one housing. Yes, it has been described that the transportation slip 11 is printed with a background pattern (dot pattern) that can be recognized by the anotopen. However, the anotopen is only an example of a digital pen that generates handwriting data representing the handwriting written by the pen tip, and various techniques can be applied to the generation of handwriting data using the digital pen.

  For example, a digital pen in which a pen having a pen tip portion and a handwriting data generation device that generates handwriting data by the pen are separated may be used in place of the digital pen 10 described above. Specifically, a pen tip, an infrared transmitter, and an ultrasonic transmitter are mounted on the pen side. An infrared sensor, two ultrasonic sensors, a handwriting data generation unit, a memory, and a data communication unit are mounted on the handwriting data generation device side. Then, the handwriting data generation device may calculate the handwriting of the pen tip part using the difference between the infrared reception time by the infrared sensor and the ultrasonic reception time by the two ultrasonic sensors. In this case, it is not necessary to provide a background pattern for the transportation slip 30.
