FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a sales management system for work machines.
The work machine sales management system 1A of the present invention is for grasping the sales status of the work machine 2 such as a tractor, a backhoe, and a combine.
In selling the work machine 2, first, the work machine 2 is delivered to a plurality of stores 4 entrusted with sales from the manufacturing company 3, and the work machine 2 is sold to customers (users) in the store 4. That is, a plurality of work machines 2 are placed in a work machine storage area (work machine display area) E of the work machine 2 set in the store 4, and the work machines 2 placed in the work machine display area E are sold to customers. become. The work machine 2 that has been sold (sold) is picked up by the user, and the work machine 2 delivered from the manufacturing company 3 disappears from the store 4.
　作業機の販売管理システム１Ａは、管理サーバ５と、店舗用端末６と、作業機用無線端末７とを備えている。
　まず、作業機２の構成について、トラクタを例にとり説明する。
　図６に示すように、トラクタ２は、前後に車輪を有する走行車体１０にエンジン（例えば、ディーゼルエンジン）１１、変速装置１２等が搭載されることにより構成されている。この走行車体１０の後部には、３点リンク機構１６が昇降可能に設けられている。この３点リンク機構１６には、各種の作業装置（図例は耕耘装置）１３が着脱自在となっている。この作業装置１３には、ＰＴＯ軸を介してエンジン１１からの動力が伝達されるようになっている。また、エンジン１１の後方には、独立搭載型のキャビン１４が設けられており、キャビン１４内に運転席１５が設けられている。このトラクタ２は、走行や作業装置１３による作業が行えるようになっている。 The work machine sales management system 1 </ b> A includes a management server 5, a store terminal 6, and a work machine wireless terminal 7.
First, the configuration of the work machine 2 will be described using a tractor as an example.
As shown in FIG. 6, the tractor 2 is configured by mounting an engine (for example, a diesel engine) 11, a transmission device 12, and the like on a traveling vehicle body 10 having front and rear wheels. A three-point link mechanism 16 is provided at the rear portion of the traveling vehicle body 10 so as to be movable up and down. Various working devices (in the illustrated example, a tilling device) 13 are detachably attached to the three-point link mechanism 16. Power from the engine 11 is transmitted to the work device 13 via the PTO shaft. In addition, an independently mounted cabin 14 is provided behind the engine 11, and a driver seat 15 is provided in the cabin 14. The tractor 2 can run and work by the working device 13.
　図５は、トラクタ２において走行系や作業系の制御を行う制御装置を示したものである。
　図５に示すように、トラクタ２における走行系及び作業系の制御は、例えば、３つの制御装置（第１制御装置２０、第２制御装置２１、第３制御装置２２）によって行うものとなっている。 FIG. 5 shows a control device that controls the traveling system and the working system in the tractor 2.
As shown in FIG. 5, the traveling system and the working system in the tractor 2 are controlled by, for example, three control devices (a first control device 20, a second control device 21, and a third control device 22). Yes.
　第１制御装置２０は、トラクタ２の全体を制御するものであって、他の制御装置、即ち、第２制御装置２１、第３制御装置２２とは車載ネットワーク（Controller Area Network）によって相互通信が行えるようになっている。
　この第１制御装置２０には、アクセルペダルを操作したときのアクセルペダルの操作量、変速用のシフトレバーを操作したときのシフトレバー位置などが入力されるようになっている。 The first control device 20 controls the entire tractor 2, and the other control devices, that is, the second control device 21 and the third control device 22 communicate with each other through an in-vehicle network (Controller Area Network). It can be done.
The first control device 20 is input with an operation amount of the accelerator pedal when the accelerator pedal is operated, a shift lever position when the shift lever for shifting is operated, and the like.
　第１制御装置２０は、アクセルペダルの操作量に基づいてエンジン１１が所定の回転数になるように第２制御装置２１に制御指令を出力すると共に、シフトレバー位置に基づいて変速装置を制御（変速制御）することができるようになっている。
　その他、第１制御装置２０には、エンジン回転上限値が入力されると共に、アクセルレバー量が入力されるようになっている。エンジン回転上限値は、運転席１５の近傍に設けられたボリュームにより設定できるようになっており、アクセルレバー量は運転席１５の近傍に設けられたアクセルレバーにより設定できるようになっている。 The first control device 20 outputs a control command to the second control device 21 so that the engine 11 reaches a predetermined rotational speed based on the operation amount of the accelerator pedal, and controls the transmission based on the shift lever position ( Shift control).
In addition, the first control device 20 is input with an engine rotation upper limit value and an accelerator lever amount. The engine rotation upper limit value can be set by a volume provided in the vicinity of the driver seat 15, and the accelerator lever amount can be set by an accelerator lever provided in the vicinity of the driver seat 15.
　エンジン回転上限値が入力されている場合、第１制御装置２０は、エンジン１１の回転数がエンジン回転上限値を超えないように第２制御装置２１に制御指令を出力する。また、アクセルレバー量が入力されている場合、第１制御装置２０は、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量以上となれば、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を第２制御装置２１にするものの、アクセルペダルの操作量がアクセルレバー量未満であるときにはアクセルペダルの操作量に応じた制御指令を行わず、アクセルペダルの操作量に応じたエンジン１１の回転数の制御は行わないようになっている。 When the engine rotation upper limit value is input, the first control device 20 outputs a control command to the second control device 21 so that the rotation speed of the engine 11 does not exceed the engine rotation upper limit value. Further, when the accelerator lever amount is input, the first control device 20 sends a control command corresponding to the accelerator pedal operation amount to the second control device 21 if the accelerator pedal operation amount is equal to or greater than the accelerator lever amount. However, when the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is less than the accelerator lever amount, the control command according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal is not performed, and the rotation speed of the engine 11 is not controlled according to the operation amount of the accelerator pedal. It has become.
　また、第１制御装置２０は、エンジン回転数、変速段、油温など、トラクタ２の様々な情報を表示する第１表示装置２４を制御すると共に第３制御装置２２からの入力に基づいて３点リンク機構１２の昇降を制御する（３Ｐ昇降制御）。
　このような第１制御装置２０の内部メモリ２５には、トラクタ２（作業機２）を特定するための固有情報が保存されている。ここで、トラクタ２の固有情報とは、トラクタ２を特定するための情報であり、例えば、トラクタ２の１台１台に割り当てられたＩＤ（identification）を固有情報としてもよいが、この実施形態では、トラクタ２の製造番号と機種（機種番号）と組み合わせることによってトラクタ２を特定できるため、固有情報は製造番号及び機種からなるものとされている。 In addition, the first control device 20 controls the first display device 24 that displays various information of the tractor 2 such as the engine speed, the shift speed, and the oil temperature, and 3 based on the input from the third control device 22. The elevation of the point link mechanism 12 is controlled (3P elevation control).
In the internal memory 25 of the first control device 20 as described above, unique information for specifying the tractor 2 (work machine 2) is stored. Here, the unique information of the tractor 2 is information for identifying the tractor 2. For example, an ID (identification) assigned to each tractor 2 may be used as the unique information. Then, since the tractor 2 can be specified by combining the manufacturing number and model (model number) of the tractor 2, the unique information is made up of the manufacturing number and model.
　第１制御装置２０には作業機用無線端末７が接続されている。この作業機用無線端末７は、外部の機器と無線通信を行うためのものであて、電波を発信するアクティブ型の無線端末（無線機）とされている。作業機用無線端末７は、例えば、トラクタ２の運転席１５の周辺に設けられている。
　また、作業機用無線端末７は、例えば、第１制御装置２０に保存されたトラクタ２（作業機２）の固有情報を送信したり、固有情報の他に第１制御装置２０から出力された様々なトラクタ２の情報をネットワーク２６を介して管理サーバ５に送信するものである。 The work machine wireless terminal 7 is connected to the first control device 20. The work machine wireless terminal 7 is used to perform wireless communication with an external device, and is an active wireless terminal (radio device) that transmits radio waves. The work machine radio terminal 7 is provided, for example, around the driver seat 15 of the tractor 2.
In addition, the work machine wireless terminal 7 transmits, for example, unique information of the tractor 2 (work machine 2) stored in the first control device 20, or is output from the first control device 20 in addition to the unique information. Information of various tractors 2 is transmitted to the management server 5 via the network 26.
　第２制御装置２１（エンジンコンピュータユニット）は、主にエンジン１１を制御するものであって、第１制御装置２０からのアクセルペダルの操作量、クランク位置、カム位置等の入力に基づいて、インジェクタ２７、コモンレール２８、サプライポンプ２９等を制御するものである。
　なお、第２制御装置２１におけるエンジン制御は、一般的なディーゼルエンジン制御と同じものであり、例えば、インジェクタ２７の制御では燃料噴射量、噴射時期、燃料噴射率が設定され、サプライポンプ２９やコモンレール２８の制御では燃料噴射圧が設定される。 The second control device 21 (engine computer unit) mainly controls the engine 11 and is based on inputs such as an accelerator pedal operation amount, a crank position, and a cam position from the first control device 20. 27, the common rail 28, the supply pump 29 and the like are controlled.
The engine control in the second control device 21 is the same as general diesel engine control. For example, in the control of the injector 27, the fuel injection amount, the injection timing, and the fuel injection rate are set, and the supply pump 29 and the common rail are controlled. In the control 28, the fuel injection pressure is set.
　第３制御装置２２は、第１制御装置２０や第２制御装置２１に入力される操作系（スイッチ等）の入力に基づいて、所定の入力信号を第１制御装置２０や第２制御装置２１に出力ものである。
　上述したように、トラクタ２は、各制御装置２０，２１,２２によって制御されて走行や作業装置１３による作業を行うことができる。また、トラクタ２には作業機用無線端末７が搭載されているため、トラクタ２内の各種情報を外部に送信したり、外部からの情報を受信することができるようになっている。 The third control device 22 sends a predetermined input signal to the first control device 20 or the second control device 21 based on an input of an operation system (such as a switch) input to the first control device 20 or the second control device 21. Is the output.
As described above, the tractor 2 is controlled by the control devices 20, 21, and 22 and can run and work by the work device 13. Further, since the work machine wireless terminal 7 is mounted on the tractor 2, various information in the tractor 2 can be transmitted to the outside, and information from the outside can be received.
　なお、トラクタ２の走行系や作業系の制御を行う制御装置の個数は、上述したものに限定されない。例えば、第１制御装置２０、第２制御装置２１、第３制御装置２２を一体化して１つの制御装置で構成してもよい。また、トラクタ２は、１以上の制御装置によって走行や作業装置１３による作業が行えるものであればよく、走行や作業を行うための制御方法などは上述したものに限定されない。 Note that the number of control devices that control the traveling system and work system of the tractor 2 is not limited to those described above. For example, the first control device 20, the second control device 21, and the third control device 22 may be integrated into a single control device. Moreover, the tractor 2 should just be what can drive | work and the operation | work by the working device 13 by one or more control apparatuses, and the control method for performing driving | running | working and work is not limited to what was mentioned above.
　次に、図１に示すトラクタ（作業機）の販売管理システムについて詳しく説明する。
　管理サーバ５は、例えば、トラクタ２の製造を行う製造会社３から委託を受けてトラクタ２の販売を行う販売管理会社３１に設置されている。
　管理サーバ５は、有線又は無線等のネットワーク２６（電気通信網）を介して、トラクタ２を販売する各店舗４に設置された店舗用端末６、各店舗４に設置された無線用送受信器３３にアクセス可能となっている。なお、店舗４を区別するときは、説明の便宜上、店舗Ａ、店舗Ｂ、店舗Ｃなどと表記する。 Next, the sales management system for the tractor (work machine) shown in FIG. 1 will be described in detail.
The management server 5 is installed in, for example, a sales management company 31 that sells the tractor 2 under a consignment from the manufacturing company 3 that manufactures the tractor 2.
The management server 5 includes a store terminal 6 installed in each store 4 that sells the tractor 2 and a wireless transceiver 33 installed in each store 4 via a wired or wireless network 26 (electric communication network). Is accessible. In addition, when distinguishing the store 4, it describes with the store A, the store B, the store C, etc. for convenience of explanation.
　この管理サーバ５は、主にトラクタ２（作業機）の販売管理を行うためのものであって、例えば、トラクタ２を販売する各店舗（ディーラ）４で、どの機種のトラクタ２が何台売れたか、また、どの機種のトラクタ２が何台売れてないかといった販売状況を把握するためのものである。
　具体的には、図２（ａ）に示すように、管理サーバ５には、店舗４毎に納品したトラクタ２の固有情報（製造番号、機種）が保存されていると共に、トラクタ２の価格、トラクタ２が実際に店舗４で売れたか否かを示す実販売状況（管理販売状況）が保存されている。 This management server 5 is mainly for managing sales of the tractor 2 (work machine). For example, at each store (dealer) 4 that sells the tractor 2, what type of tractor 2 is sold. Also, it is for grasping the sales situation such as how many types of tractors 2 are not sold.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2 (a), the management server 5 stores the unique information (manufacturing number, model) of the tractor 2 delivered for each store 4, and the price of the tractor 2, An actual sales situation (managed sales situation) indicating whether or not the tractor 2 is actually sold at the store 4 is stored.
　したがって、管理サーバ５に保存されている管理販売状況を見れば、どの店舗４でどのトラクタ２が売れたか否かが分かるようになっている。
　なお、管理販売状況は、後述する通知販売状況や算出販売状況とは異なるものであって、実際にトラクタ２の販売が完了しているか否かを確認できている場合に書換や更新等が行われるものである。この管理販売状況は、販売管理会社３１側で自在に書換や更新等を行うことができる。 Therefore, by looking at the management sales situation stored in the management server 5, it is possible to know which tractor 2 is sold at which store 4.
The managed sales status is different from the notification sales status and calculated sales status, which will be described later. When the sales of the tractor 2 can be confirmed, it is rewritten or updated. It is what is said. This management and sales situation can be freely rewritten and updated on the sales management company 31 side.
　例えば、図２（ａ）に示すように、店舗Ａ、製造番号「１０００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の管理販売状況は、販売済「○」となっているため、このトラクタ２は売れているということになる。
　一方、店舗４Ｂ、製造番号「１０２０１」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の管理販売状況は、未販売「×」となっているため、このトラクタ２は売れていないことになる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 2A, the management sale status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is already sold “O”, so that the tractor 2 is sold. It will be.
On the other hand, the management and sales status of the store 4B, the production number “10201”, and the model “M135A” is “N”, which is not sold, so that the tractor 2 is not sold.
　加えて、図２（ａ）に示すように、管理サーバ５には、後述するように、店舗用端末６を用いて通知された各店舗４における販売状況（通知販売状況）が管理サーバ５に保存されるようになっている。以降、店舗用端末６を用いて、店舗４から管理サーバ５（販売管理会社３１）に通知されたトラクタ２の販売状況を通知販売状況という。
　管理サーバ５内のデータを見てみると、例えば、店舗Ａ，製造番号「１０００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の通知販売状況は、販売済「○」となっているが、店舗４からは当該トラクタ２は販売済であることが管理サーバ５に通知され、この通知によって管理サーバ５の通知販売状況が販売済として更新されたものである。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 2A, the management server 5 stores the sales status (notification sales status) in each store 4 notified using the store terminal 6 to the management server 5, as will be described later. It is supposed to be saved. Hereinafter, the sales status of the tractor 2 notified from the store 4 to the management server 5 (sales management company 31) using the store terminal 6 is referred to as a notification sales status.
Looking at the data in the management server 5, for example, the notification sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is “O” sold. 2 indicates that the management server 5 has been sold, and the notification sales status of the management server 5 is updated as sold by this notification.
　また、店舗Ｂ，製造番号「１０２０１」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の通知販売状況は、未販売「×」となっているが、店舗４からは当該トラクタ２は未販売であることが通知され、この通知によって管理サーバ５の通知販売状況が未販売であると更新されたものである。なお、製造会社３から販売管理会社３１にトラクタ２の納品情報が通知されたときに、トラクタ２の管理販売状況を予め未販売としておき、管理販売状況と同様に管理サーバ５に保存される通知販売状況も予め未販売としていてもよい。 In addition, the notification sales status of the store B, the production number “10201”, and the model “M135A” is unsold “X”, but the store 4 notifies that the tractor 2 is not sold. The notification sales status of the management server 5 is updated by notification to be unsold. In addition, when the delivery information of the tractor 2 is notified from the manufacturing company 3 to the sales management company 31, the management sales status of the tractor 2 is previously set as unsold, and the notification is stored in the management server 5 in the same manner as the management sales status. The sales situation may also be unsold in advance.
　店舗４に設置された店舗用端末６は、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータで構成され、ネットワーク２６を介して管理サーバ５にアクセスすることができるようになっている。この店舗用端末６は、上述したように、管理サーバ５に店舗４におけるトラクタ２の販売状況を通知するもので、管理サーバ５にアクセスし、管理サーバ５内の情報を書き換えることができる。なお、店舗用端末６は、トラクタ２の販売状況を管理サーバ５に通知するものであれば何でもよく、モバイルコンピュータ等の通信端末でもよい。 The store terminal 6 installed in the store 4 is composed of, for example, a personal computer and can access the management server 5 via the network 26. As described above, the store terminal 6 notifies the management server 5 of the sales status of the tractor 2 in the store 4, and can access the management server 5 and rewrite information in the management server 5. The store terminal 6 may be anything that notifies the management server 5 of the sales status of the tractor 2, and may be a communication terminal such as a mobile computer.
　店舗４に所属する販売員が店舗用端末６を用いて管理サーバ５にアクセスすると、管理サーバ５側では店舗用端末６のアクセスを許可し、店舗用端末６を用いて管理サーバ５内の通知販売状況の書換を行うことができる。
　例えば、図２（ｂ）に示すように、管理サーバ５において、店舗Ａ，製造番号「１０００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の通知販売状況は、未販売「×」となっているが、同じ店舗４（店舗Ａ）の店舗用端末６にて管理サーバ５にアクセスして店舗４端末からの操作によって、店舗Ａ，製造番号「１０００４」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」の通知販売状況を販売済「○」に書き換えることができる。 When a salesperson belonging to the store 4 accesses the management server 5 using the store terminal 6, the management server 5 permits the store terminal 6 to be accessed, and the store terminal 6 is used to notify the management server 5. Sales status can be rewritten.
For example, as illustrated in FIG. 2B, in the management server 5, the notification sales status of the store A, the production number “10004”, and the model “M135A” is not sold “×”, but the same store 4 By accessing the management server 5 at the store terminal 6 of (store A) and operating from the store 4 terminal, the notification sales status of store A, serial number “10004”, model “M135A” is set to “sold” Can be rewritten.
　なお、この実施形態では、店舗用端末６から管理サーバ５にアクセスをして、店舗用端末６を用いて管理サーバ５内の通知販売状況の書換を行うようにしているが、図２（ｃ）に示すように、店舗用端末６を用いてトラクタ２が販売済であるか未販売であるかという通知販売状況を予め作成しておき、店舗用端末６から当該通知販売状況を管理サーバ５にアップロードすることによって管理サーバ５内の通知販売状況を書き換えてもよい。 In this embodiment, the store terminal 6 accesses the management server 5 and rewrites the notification sales status in the management server 5 using the store terminal 6, but FIG. ), A notification sales situation indicating whether the tractor 2 has been sold or not sold is created in advance using the store terminal 6, and the notification sale status is stored in the management server 5 from the store terminal 6. The notification sales status in the management server 5 may be rewritten by uploading to.
　さて、上述したように、各店舗４から管理サーバ５にトラクタ２の販売状況が通知（報告）されるようになっているが、店舗４から通知された販売状況が実際の販売状況と異なる可能性がある。店舗用端末６を用いて販売員が販売状況を管理サーバ５に通知したとき、入力ミスなどをしてしまうと、誤った販売状況が管理サーバ５に通知されてしまうことになる。 As described above, the sales status of the tractor 2 is notified (reported) from each store 4 to the management server 5, but the sales status notified from the store 4 may be different from the actual sales status. There is sex. When the salesperson notifies the management server 5 of the sales situation using the terminal 6 for a store, if an input mistake is made, the wrong sales situation is notified to the management server 5.
　本発明の作業機２の販売管理システムでは、誤った販売状況が管理サーバ５に通知されて、実際の販売状況と異なることを出来るだけ防止するため、店舗４からの通知された販売状況とは異なる情報、後述するように、作業機用無線端末７から送信されたトラクタ２の情報を用いることによって販売状況をより確実に把握できる工夫がなされている。
　さらに、作業機２の販売管理システムについて詳しく説明する。 In the sales management system for the work machine 2 according to the present invention, in order to prevent an erroneous sales situation from being notified to the management server 5 and differing from the actual sales situation as much as possible, As will be described later, by using different information, the information on the tractor 2 transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 7, a device that can grasp the sales situation more reliably has been made.
Furthermore, the sales management system of the work machine 2 will be described in detail.
　トラクタ２の販売では、上述したように、トラクタ２を販売する店舗４に複数台のトラクタ２を店舗４に定めた作業機置き場（作業機展示エリア）Ｅに置き、顧客（ユーザ）に店舗４に置かれたトラクタ２を実際に見てもらうことによって、店舗４のトラクタ２を売るという方法が採用されている。店舗４にて販売が完了したトラクタ２は、当該トラクタ２を購入したユーザに引き渡されて、トラクタ２は店舗４から無くなる（作業機展示エリアＥから無くなる）ことになる。 In selling the tractor 2, as described above, a plurality of tractors 2 are placed in the work machine storage area (work machine display area) E defined in the store 4 in the store 4 selling the tractor 2, and the customer (user) stores the store 4. A method of selling the tractor 2 of the store 4 by actually seeing the tractor 2 placed in the store is adopted. The tractor 2 that has been sold at the store 4 is handed over to the user who purchased the tractor 2, and the tractor 2 disappears from the store 4 (from the work implement display area E).
　このような販売方法では、トラクタ２を製造する製造会社３が店舗４にトラクタ２を納品した後、店舗４にてトラクタ２の販売が完了した時点で製造会社３から店舗４へのトラクタ２の代金回収が行われる。つまり、単にトラクタ２を製造会社３から店舗４に納品した時点では、店舗４側は製造会社３へのトラクタ２の代金の支払いは完了していない。
　店舗４にてトラクタ２の売買契約が終了すると、店舗４側は顧客にトラクタ２の代金の請求を行い、その後、店舗４側から製造会社３にトラクタ２の代金が支払われることになる。店舗４側から製造会社３へのトラクタ２の代金の支払いは、大凡、トラクタ２が販売完了（売買契約完了）し、店舗４から販売管理会社３１への販売状況の通知（通知販売状況）がなされた後に行われるのが実情である。なお、トラクタ２の代金は、店舗４側から製造会社３に直接支払われる場合だけでなく、販売管理会社３１等を経由して支払われる場合もある。 In such a sales method, after the manufacturing company 3 that manufactures the tractor 2 delivers the tractor 2 to the store 4, the sales of the tractor 2 from the manufacturing company 3 to the store 4 are completed when the sales of the tractor 2 are completed at the store 4. Payment is collected. That is, when the tractor 2 is simply delivered from the manufacturing company 3 to the store 4, the store 4 side has not completed payment of the price of the tractor 2 to the manufacturing company 3.
When the sales contract for the tractor 2 is completed at the store 4, the store 4 charges the customer for the price of the tractor 2, and then the price of the tractor 2 is paid to the manufacturing company 3 from the store 4 side. The payment of the price of the tractor 2 from the store 4 side to the manufacturing company 3 is generally completed when the tractor 2 completes sales (sales contract completion), and the sales status notification from the store 4 to the sales management company 31 (notice sales status) The reality is what is done after it is made. Note that the price of the tractor 2 is not only paid directly to the manufacturing company 3 from the store 4 side, but may be paid via the sales management company 31 or the like.
　このように、トラクタ２の販売方法では、トラクタ２の代金の回収は、店舗４におけるトラクタ２の販売完了後に行われることが多いことから、販売管理会社３１又は製造会社３においても、店舗４におけるトラクタ２の販売状況を出来るだけ正確に把握していきたいという要望がある。
　そこで、作業機２の販売管理システムでは、まず、トラクタ２に電波を発信する作業機用無線端末７を搭載すると共に、作業機用無線端末７と送受信可能な無線用送受信器３３を店舗４に設置する。そして、作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３との無線通信を行い、作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３との通信ができるとき（データのやり取りができるとき）は、当該作業機用無線端末７を搭載したトラクタ２は店舗４に存在していて未販売であるとし、作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３とが通信できなくなったとき（作業機用無線端末７からのデータが無線用受信にて受信できないとき）は、当該作業機用無線端末７を搭載したトラクタ２は店舗４にはなく販売が完了したとみなすこととしている。 As described above, in the sales method of the tractor 2, the price of the tractor 2 is often collected after the sales of the tractor 2 in the store 4 is completed. There is a desire to grasp the sales situation of the tractor 2 as accurately as possible.
Therefore, in the sales management system for the work equipment 2, first, the work equipment wireless terminal 7 that transmits radio waves to the tractor 2 is mounted, and the wireless transceiver 33 that can transmit and receive with the work equipment wireless terminal 7 is installed in the store 4. Install. When wireless communication between the work machine wireless terminal 7 and the wireless transceiver 33 is performed and communication between the work machine wireless terminal 7 and the wireless transceiver 33 is possible (when data can be exchanged), When the tractor 2 equipped with the work machine radio terminal 7 exists in the store 4 and is not sold, the work machine radio terminal 7 and the radio transceiver 33 cannot communicate (work machine radio terminal). When the data from 7 cannot be received by wireless reception), it is assumed that the tractor 2 equipped with the wireless terminal 7 for work equipment is not in the store 4 and has been sold.
　つまり、トラクタ２が未販売であるときはトラクタ２は店舗４内（作業機展示エリアＥ）にあることから、作業機用無線端末７からの電波が無線用送受信器３３に届くため、この無線通信によってトラクタ２が未販売であることを確認することができる。一方で、トラクタ２が販売済となるとトラクタ２は顧客に引き取られ、トラクタ２は店舗４内（作業機展示エリアＥ）に存在しなくなる。そうすると、作業機用無線端末７の電波が無線用送受信器３３に届かなくなるため、作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３との通信は途絶える（通信が不可能）となるため、このようなときは、トラクタ２は販売済とみなすことができる。 That is, when the tractor 2 is not sold, since the tractor 2 is in the store 4 (work machine display area E), radio waves from the work machine radio terminal 7 reach the radio transceiver 33. It can be confirmed by communication that the tractor 2 is not sold. On the other hand, when the tractor 2 is sold, the tractor 2 is picked up by the customer, and the tractor 2 does not exist in the store 4 (work machine display area E). Then, since the radio wave of the work machine radio terminal 7 does not reach the radio transceiver 33, the communication between the work machine radio terminal 7 and the radio transceiver 33 is interrupted (communication is impossible). If so, the tractor 2 can be considered sold.
　本発明では、このように作業機用無線端末７を利用して、トラクタ２の販売状況を販売管理会社３１又は製造会社３側でも把握できるようにしている。
　そのため、販売するためのトラクタ２は、無線用送受信器３３と当該トラクタ２に搭載した作業機用無線端末７とが無線通信できるように、店舗４内の作業機置き場（作業機展示エリア）Ｅに置く。 In the present invention, the sales status of the tractor 2 can be grasped by the sales management company 31 or the manufacturing company 3 side by using the work machine wireless terminal 7 as described above.
Therefore, the tractor 2 to be sold is a work machine storage area (work machine display area) E in the store 4 so that the radio transceiver 33 and the work machine radio terminal 7 mounted on the tractor 2 can perform radio communication. Put on.
　作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３との無線通信範囲は限定されないが、作業機展示エリアＥと略同じ大きさに設定することが好ましい。例えば、作業機展示エリアＥ内では、作業機用無線端末７を搭載したトラクタ２が何処にいても、当該作業機用無線端末７の電波が無線用送受信器３３に届くように設定しておくことが好ましい。無線通信範囲は、例えば、５００ｍ以下に設定することが好ましい。 The wireless communication range between the work machine wireless terminal 7 and the wireless transceiver 33 is not limited, but is preferably set to be approximately the same size as the work machine display area E. For example, in the work implement display area E, the work machine radio terminal 7 is set so that the radio wave of the work machine radio terminal 7 reaches the radio transceiver 33 wherever the tractor 2 equipped with the work machine radio terminal 7 is located. It is preferable. The wireless communication range is preferably set to 500 m or less, for example.
　そして、例えば、定期的（例えば、一日毎、一週間毎、一ヶ月毎）に作業機用無線端末７から無線用送受信器３３にトラクタ２の固有情報（製造番号及び機種）を送信するように作業機用無線端末７を設定しておく。作業機用無線端末７と無線用送受信器３３との通信頻度は、間欠的に行っても良いし継続的（リアルタイム）に行ってもよい。
　なお、同一店舗４に置かれた全てのトラクタ２（作業機用無線端末７）が略同一時間帯に無線用送受信器３３へトラクタ２の固有情報を送信してもよいし、管理サーバ５からの要求に応じて略同一時間帯にトラクタ２（作業機用無線端末７）がトラクタ２の固有情報を送信してもよい。 For example, the unique information (manufacturing number and model) of the tractor 2 is transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 to the wireless transceiver 33 periodically (for example, every day, every week, or every month). The work machine wireless terminal 7 is set in advance. The communication frequency between the wireless terminal for work implement 7 and the wireless transceiver 33 may be intermittent or may be continuously (real time).
In addition, all the tractors 2 (work machine radio terminals 7) placed in the same store 4 may transmit the unique information of the tractors 2 to the radio transceiver 33 in substantially the same time zone, or from the management server 5 In response to the request, the tractor 2 (work machine radio terminal 7) may transmit the unique information of the tractor 2 in substantially the same time zone.
　無線用送受信器３３では、作業機用無線端末７からのトラクタ２の固有情報を受信すると、管理サーバ５に当該トラクタ２の固有情報を送信するようにしておく。
　したがって、作業機用無線端末７及び無線用送受信器３３を介して管理サーバ５に、定期的に店舗４に存在するトラクタ２の固有情報を送ることができる。
なお、無線用送受信器３３は作業機用無線端末７から送られてきた固有情報（情報）を受信して当該固有情報（情報）を管理サーバ５に送信するものであれば、どのようなものであってもよい。 When receiving the unique information of the tractor 2 from the work equipment wireless terminal 7, the wireless transceiver 33 transmits the unique information of the tractor 2 to the management server 5.
Therefore, the unique information of the tractor 2 existing in the store 4 can be periodically sent to the management server 5 via the work equipment wireless terminal 7 and the wireless transceiver 33.
The wireless transmitter / receiver 33 can receive any specific information (information) sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 and transmit the specific information (information) to the management server 5. It may be.
　一方、管理サーバ５では、トラクタ２の固有情報に基づいて店舗４における販売状況を算出する。以降、トラクタ２から送信された情報（例えば、固有情報）に基づいて求めたトラクタ２の販売状況を算出販売状況と言う。
　こうすることによって、予め保存されている通知販売状況（店舗４から通知された販売状況）と、この通知販売状況とは別に求められた算出販売状況とを見比べることができる。 On the other hand, the management server 5 calculates the sales situation in the store 4 based on the unique information of the tractor 2. Hereinafter, the sales status of the tractor 2 obtained based on information (for example, unique information) transmitted from the tractor 2 is referred to as a calculated sales status.
By doing so, it is possible to compare the notification sales situation (sales situation notified from the store 4) stored in advance with the calculated sales situation obtained separately from the notification sales situation.
　詳しくは、管理サーバ５は、販売状況算出手段４０と、販売状況照合手段４１と、乖離判定手段４２とを備えている。これら販売状況算出手段４０、販売状況照合手段４１、乖離判定手段４２は、管理サーバ５に格納されたプログラム等により構成されている。
　販売状況算出手段４０は、作業機用無線端末７から送信されたトラクタ２の情報に基づいて店舗４における販売状況を算出するものである。 Specifically, the management server 5 includes a sales status calculation unit 40, a sales status verification unit 41, and a deviation determination unit 42. These sales situation calculation means 40, sales situation collation means 41, and divergence determination means 42 are configured by programs stored in the management server 5.
The sales status calculation unit 40 calculates the sales status in the store 4 based on the information of the tractor 2 transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 7.
　図３（ａ）に示すように、販売状況算出手段４０は、作業機用無線端末７からトラクタ２の固有情報が管理サーバ５に入力されると、管理サーバ５内に保存された固有情報と、作業機用無線端末７から送られてきた固有情報との突き合わせを行う。
　作業機用無線端末７から送られてきたトラクタ２の固有情報が店舗Ａに置かれているトラクタ２であることは、管理サーバ５に保存されている製造番号及び機種と関連付けられた店舗情報とを見れば分かるようになっている。 As shown in FIG. 3A, when the unique information of the tractor 2 is input from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 to the management server 5, the sales situation calculation means 40 stores the unique information stored in the management server 5. Then, matching with the unique information sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 is performed.
The fact that the unique information of the tractor 2 sent from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 is the tractor 2 placed in the store A indicates that the store information associated with the manufacturing number and model stored in the management server 5 You can understand by looking at.
　なお、無線用送受信器３３の無線用アドレス又はＩＤ等を割り当てることによって、無線用送受信器３３がどこの店舗４に設置されているか分かるようにしておき、管理サーバ５が固有情報を取得したときには、無線用送受信器３３の無線用アドレス又はＩＤ等によってどこの店舗４から送られたものが管理サーバ５側で分かるようにしておいてもよい。或いは、作業機用無線端末７に予め無線用アドレスを割り振って、管理サーバ５に、トラクタ２の固有情報、無線用アドレス及び納品した店舗名を関連付けて保存しておく。そして、作業機用無線端末７から固有情報を送信するときに固有情報及び通信用情報とを、無線用送受信器３３を介して管理サーバ５に送信することによって、どこの店舗４から情報が送られてきたか分かるようにしてもよい。 In addition, by assigning the wireless address or ID of the wireless transmitter / receiver 33, it is possible to know in which store 4 the wireless transmitter / receiver 33 is installed, and when the management server 5 acquires specific information. The management server 5 may be made aware of what is sent from any store 4 by the wireless address or ID of the wireless transceiver 33. Alternatively, a wireless address is allocated in advance to the work machine wireless terminal 7, and the management server 5 stores the unique information of the tractor 2, the wireless address and the delivered store name in association with each other. Then, when transmitting the unique information from the work machine wireless terminal 7, the unique information and the communication information are transmitted to the management server 5 via the wireless transceiver 33, so that the information can be transmitted from any store 4. You may make it understand what has been done.
　そして、図３（ｂ）に示すように、販売状況算出手段４０は、管理サーバ５内に保存されている固有情報と同じ固有情報が管理サーバ５に入力される（作業機用無線端末７から送信される）と、管理サーバ５に入力された固有情報を有するトラクタ２は未販売であるとする（算出、「×」）。
　一方、販売状況算出手段４０は、管理サーバ５内に保存されている固有情報と同じ固有情報が入力されない（作業機用無線端末７から送信されない）場合は、管理サーバ５に入力されなかった固有情報を有するトラクタ２は、販売済であるとする（算出、「○」）。 Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, the sales status calculation means 40 receives the same unique information as the unique information stored in the management server 5 (from the work equipment wireless terminal 7). When the tractor 2 having the unique information input to the management server 5 is not sold (calculated, “×”).
On the other hand, if the same unique information as the unique information stored in the management server 5 is not input (not transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 7), the sales status calculation unit 40 does not input the specific information that has not been input to the management server 5. The tractor 2 having information is assumed to be sold (calculation, “◯”).
　図３（ａ），（ｂ）に示すように、例えば、製造番号「１００１２」，機種「Ｍ１１５Ａ」のトラクタ２について見ると、当該トラクタ２の固有情報は管理サーバ５に保存されていて作業機用無線端末７からも送信されたものであるため、算出販売状況は未販売となる（算出、「×」）。
　また、例えば、製造番号「１０００１」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２について見ると、当該トラクタ２の固有情報は管理サーバ５に保存されているものの、作業機用無線端末７からは送信されていないため、算出販売状況は、販売済となる（算出、「○」）。 As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, for example, when looking at the tractor 2 with the production number “10012” and the model “M115A”, the unique information of the tractor 2 is stored in the management server 5 and the work machine Therefore, the calculated sales status is not sold (calculated, “×”).
Further, for example, when looking at the tractor 2 having the production number “10001” and the model “M135A”, the unique information of the tractor 2 is stored in the management server 5 but is not transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 7. Therefore, the calculated sales status is sold (calculated, “◯”).
　このように、販売状況算出手段４０によって店舗４に納品したトラクタ２のうち、販売済のトラクタ２と未販売のトラクタ２とを個別に算出することができる。
　販売状況照合手段４１は、店舗用端末６にて通知された通知販売状況と販売状況算出手段４０によって算出した算出販売状況との照合を行うものである。
　図３（ｃ）に示すように、販売状況照合手段４１は、例えば、店舗Ａから通知された通知販売状況を管理サーバ５から呼び出すと共に、販売状況算出手段４０によって算出した同一の店舗Ａにおける算出販売状況を呼び出す。そして、販売状況照合手段４１は、呼び出した通知販売状況と算出販売状況との照合を行う。 As described above, the sold tractor 2 and the unsold tractor 2 among the tractors 2 delivered to the store 4 by the sales status calculation means 40 can be calculated individually.
The sales status collating unit 41 collates the notification sales status notified by the store terminal 6 with the calculated sales status calculated by the sales status calculating unit 40.
As shown in FIG. 3 (c), for example, the sales status collating unit 41 calls the notification sales status notified from the store A from the management server 5 and calculates at the same store A calculated by the sales status calculating unit 40. Call sales status. Then, the sales status collating unit 41 collates the called notification sales status and the calculated sales status.
　詳しくは、販売状況照合手段４１は、通知販売状況において販売済又は未販売であるかを示す通知内容と、算出販売状況において販売済又は未販売であるかを示す算出内容とが一致しているか否かを検証する。
　そして、販売状況照合手段４１は、通知販売状況の通知内容と算出販売状況の算出内容とが一致している場合は、同一の固有情報を有するトラクタ２に関して通知販売状況と算出販売状況とに齟齬がないとする。 Specifically, the sales status collating means 41 indicates whether the notification content indicating whether it is sold or not sold in the notification sales status matches the calculated content indicating whether it is sold or not sold in the calculated sales status. Verify whether or not.
Then, when the notification content of the notification sales status and the calculation content of the calculated sales status match, the sales status verification unit 41 determines whether the notification sales status and the calculated sales status are related to the tractor 2 having the same unique information. Suppose there is no.
　一方、販売状況照合手段４１は、通知販売状況の通知内容と、算出販売状況の算出内容とが不一致の場合は、同一の固有情報を有するトラクタ２に関して通知販売状況と算出販売状況とに齟齬があり、実際の販売状況が異なる可能性があるとする。
　例えば、図３（ｄ）に示すように、製造番号「１０００６」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２は、店舗Ａの店舗用端末６から通知された通知販売状況の通知内容では未販売になっているのに対し、作業機用無線端末７によって求めた算出販売状況の算出内容では販売済になっている。 On the other hand, if the notification content of the notification sales status and the calculation content of the calculated sales status do not match, the sales status verification unit 41 has a difference between the notification sales status and the calculated sales status regarding the tractor 2 having the same unique information. Suppose that the actual sales situation may be different.
For example, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the tractor 2 with the production number “10006” and the model “M135A” is not sold in the notification contents of the notification sales status notified from the store terminal 6 of the store A. On the other hand, the calculation contents of the calculated sales situation obtained by the work machine wireless terminal 7 are already sold.
　販売状況照合手段４１によって照合した結果は、例えば、管理サーバ５に接続された第２表示装置４４（モニタ）に表示される。例えば、図３（ｄ）に示したように、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なるトラクタ２の固有情報を第２表示装置４４に表示する。或いは、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが一致しているトラクタ２と、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが一致していないトラクタ２とが分かるように、第２表示装置４４に一致しているトラクタ２と不一致のトラクタ２との一覧表を表示する。 The result collated by the sales status collating unit 41 is displayed on, for example, the second display device 44 (monitor) connected to the management server 5. For example, as shown in FIG. 3D, the unique information of the tractor 2 having a different notification sales status and calculated sales status is displayed on the second display device 44. Alternatively, the second display device 44 matches the tractor 2 in which the notification sales situation and the calculated sales situation match, and the tractor 2 in which the notification sales situation and the calculated sales situation do not match. A list of the tractor 2 and the mismatched tractor 2 is displayed.
　このようにすることによって、店舗４から通知された通知販売状況と、実際に店舗４内に存在する算出販売状況とを見比べることができ、余りにも通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なる場合には、店舗４から通知された通知販売状況の信頼性が低下していることを見抜くことができる。
　例えば、店舗４から管理サーバ５（販売管理会社３１）に１００台のトラクタ２が未販売であると通知されたにも関わらず、同一時期に作業機用無線端末７から求められた未販売のトラクタ２の数が２０台である場合、８０台もの多くのトラクタ２が不明の可能性があると考えられる。このような場合は、通知された店舗４において何らかのトラブルが発生しているとの見方もでき、製造会社３や販売管理会社３１から店舗４に視察に行くことができる。 By doing so, it is possible to compare the notification sales status notified from the store 4 with the calculated sales status that actually exists in the store 4, and when the notification sales status and the calculated sales status are too different. Can see that the reliability of the notification sales status notified from the store 4 is reduced.
For example, in spite of being notified that 100 tractors 2 are not sold from the store 4 to the management server 5 (sales management company 31), the unsold items requested from the work machine wireless terminal 7 at the same time. When the number of tractors 2 is 20, it is considered that as many as 80 tractors 2 may be unknown. In such a case, it is possible to see that some trouble has occurred in the notified store 4, and the store 4 can be visited from the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 31.
　乖離判定手段４２は、販売状況照合手段４１によって販売状況を照合した際に店舗用端末６から通知した通知販売状況と算出した算出販売状況とに乖離があるとき、乖離があることを示す乖離信号を出力するものである。乖離信号は、管理サーバ５に接続された各種機器（例えば、報知装置）に出力されるようになっている。
　例えば、乖離信号は管理サーバ５に直接接続された報知装置（例えば、スピーカ、ランプ）４３に出力され、当該報知装置４３は乖離信号が入力されると作動し、乖離があったことを外部に知らせる。なお、図１に示すように、報知装置４３は、販売管理会社３１に設置されるものに限らず、製造会社３に設置されていてもよい。この場合は、乖離信号は、ネットワーク２６を介して製造会社３に設置した報知装置４３に出力可能となっていて、報知装置４３は乖離信号が入力されると作動し、製造会社３に知らせることができる。 The divergence determination means 42 is a divergence signal indicating that there is a divergence when there is a divergence between the notification sales situation notified from the store terminal 6 and the calculated sales situation when the sales situation collation means 41 collates the sales situation. Is output. The deviation signal is output to various devices (for example, a notification device) connected to the management server 5.
For example, the divergence signal is output to a notification device (for example, a speaker or a lamp) 43 directly connected to the management server 5, and the notification device 43 operates when the divergence signal is input, and indicates that there has been a divergence. Inform. As shown in FIG. 1, the notification device 43 is not limited to being installed at the sales management company 31 but may be installed at the manufacturing company 3. In this case, the deviation signal can be output to the notification device 43 installed in the manufacturing company 3 via the network 26, and the notification device 43 is activated when the deviation signal is input to notify the manufacturing company 3. Can do.
　乖離判定手段４２による乖離の判定基準は、適宜設定できるようになっている。例えば、各店舗４において、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なるトラクタ２が１台でも存在する場合には乖離が発生したとしてもよいし、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なるトラクタ２の台数が複数台以上となったときに乖離が発生したとしてもよい。或いは、店舗４に納品したトラクタ２の総台数に対して、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なる割合が、５％以上となったときに、乖離が発生したとしてもよい。 The deviation criterion by the deviation determination means 42 can be set as appropriate. For example, if there is at least one tractor 2 with different notification sales status and calculated sales status at each store 4, a divergence may occur, or the notification sales status and calculated sales status may differ. A divergence may occur when the number of units becomes more than one. Alternatively, a divergence may occur when the ratio of the notification sales status and the calculated sales status to the total number of tractors 2 delivered to the store 4 is 5% or more.
　以上、作業機２の販売管理システムによれば、管理サーバ５と、店舗４にて管理している作業機２の販売状況を管理サーバ５に通知する店舗用端末６と、作業機２の情報をネットワーク２６により管理サーバ５に送信する作業機用無線端末７とを備え、管理サーバ５は、作業機用無線端末７から送信された作業機２の情報に基づいて店舗４における販売状況を算出する販売状況算出手段４０と、店舗用端末６にて通知された通知販売状況と販売状況算出手段４０によって算出された算出販売状況との照合を行う販売状況照合手段４１とを備えている。 As described above, according to the sales management system of the work machine 2, the management server 5, the store terminal 6 that notifies the management server 5 of the sales status of the work machine 2 managed in the store 4, and the information on the work machine 2 Is transmitted to the management server 5 via the network 26, and the management server 5 calculates the sales status in the store 4 based on the information on the work machine 2 transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 7. The sales situation calculation means 40 for performing the check and the sales situation verification means 41 for comparing the notification sales situation notified by the store terminal 6 with the calculated sales situation calculated by the sales situation calculation means 40 are provided.
　これによれば、店舗４（店舗用端末６）から管理サーバ５に通知された通知販売状況だけでなく、店舗４に配置した作業機２（作業機用無線端末７）から管理サーバ５に送られて算出された算出販売状況も用いて作業機２の販売状況を確認することができ、通知販売状況及び算出販売状況を見ることによって、店舗４における正確な販売状況を把握することが可能となる。 According to this, not only the notification sales status notified from the store 4 (store terminal 6) to the management server 5, but also the work machine 2 (work machine wireless terminal 7) arranged in the store 4 is sent to the management server 5. It is possible to check the sales status of the work machine 2 using the calculated sales status calculated in advance, and to grasp the accurate sales status in the store 4 by looking at the notification sales status and the calculated sales status. Become.
　上述したように、例えば、図３（ｄ）に示すように、製造番号「１０００６」，機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２は、店舗Ａの店舗用端末６から通知された内容（通知販売状況）では未販売になっているのに対し、作業機用無線端末７による情報（算出販売状況）では販売済になっているということを把握することができ、通知販売状況と算出販売状況との齟齬を発見することができる。 As described above, for example, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the tractor 2 with the production number “10006” and the model “M135A” is the content notified from the store terminal 6 of the store A (notification sales status). Although it is not sold, the information (calculated sales status) by the work equipment wireless terminal 7 can be understood to be sold, and the difference between the notification sales status and the calculated sales status Can be found.
　通知販売状況と算出販売状況との齟齬が生じた場合は、製造会社３又は販売管理会社３１から店舗４に問い合わせを行い、正しい販売状況であるかいなかの確認をすることができる。製造会社３又は販売管理会社３１から店舗４に問い合わせが出来ない場合は、当該製造会社３又は販売管理会社３１から店舗４へ視察をすることによって、正しい販売状況であるか確認も行うことができる。 If there is a discrepancy between the notification sales status and the calculated sales status, it is possible to make an inquiry from the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 31 to the store 4 to check whether the sales status is correct. If the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 31 cannot make an inquiry to the store 4, it is possible to check whether the sales situation is correct by visiting the store 4 from the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 31. .
　加えて、店舗４から管理サーバ５（販売管理会社３１）に通知された通知販売状況の他に算出販売状況を得られるようにしているため、販売管理会社３１は、算出販売状況（店舗４にある作業機２の配置状況）を店舗４からの通知された情報とは別に把握することができる。特に、作業機用無線端末７を用いて店舗４に存在する作業機２の情報を収集しているため、店舗４とは独自に作業機２の情報が収集でき、しかも、情報収集おいて店舗４の販売員の作業を煩わすこともない。 In addition, since the calculated sales status can be obtained in addition to the notification sales status notified from the store 4 to the management server 5 (sales management company 31), the sales management company 31 The arrangement status of a certain work machine 2) can be grasped separately from the information notified from the store 4. In particular, since the information on the work machine 2 existing in the store 4 is collected using the work machine wireless terminal 7, the information on the work machine 2 can be collected independently of the store 4, and the information is collected in the store. No need to bother 4 salespersons.
　上述した実施形態では、店舗４に納品したトラクタ２に対して１台毎に販売済であるか否かが分かるシステムとしていたが、次に示す実施形態は上述した実施形態とは異なり、店舗４毎に何台が販売済で何台が未販売であるかというシステムである。なお、次に示す実施形態において上述した実施形態と同じ構成は、説明を省略する。
　販売状況算出手段４０は、作業機用無線端末７からトラクタ２の固有情報が管理サーバ５に入力されると、作業機用無線端末７から送信された作業機２の固有情報を収集する。例えば、図４（ａ）に示すように、販売状況算出手段４０は、まず、管理サーバ５に入力された固有情報（製造番号、機種）を収集して、収集した固有情報のうち、店舗４毎に同じ機種の台数をカウントする。即ち、図４（ｂ）に示すように、販売状況算出手段４０は、収集した固有情報を用いて店舗４に置かれた同じ機種のトラクタ２の台数を求め、当該トラクタ２の台数を店舗４における算出未販売台数とする。 In the above-described embodiment, the system can be used to determine whether or not each tractor 2 delivered to the store 4 has been sold, but the following embodiment differs from the above-described embodiment in that the store 4 This is a system of how many units have been sold and how many units have not been sold. In the following embodiment, the description of the same configuration as the above-described embodiment is omitted.
When the unique information of the tractor 2 is input from the work machine wireless terminal 7 to the management server 5, the sales situation calculation unit 40 collects the unique information of the work machine 2 transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 7. For example, as shown in FIG. 4A, the sales situation calculation means 40 first collects unique information (manufacturing number and model) input to the management server 5 and stores 4 in the collected unique information. Count the number of the same model every time. That is, as shown in FIG. 4B, the sales situation calculation means 40 obtains the number of tractors 2 of the same model placed in the store 4 using the collected unique information, and calculates the number of tractors 2 in the store 4 Calculated as unsold units.
　また、図４（ｂ）に示すように、販売状況算出手段４０は、予め店舗４に納入している同じ機種のトラクタ２の納入台数は管理サーバ５内の情報から求めることができるため、算出未販売台数と同一機種の納入台数との差を算出販売台数とする。
　なお、収集した固有情報の中に、管理サーバ５内に保存されている固有情報と同じ固有情報がない場合は、管理サーバ５に入力されなかった固有情報を有する同じ機種のトラクタ２は販売済であるとし、同一機種のトラクタ２について販売済の台数を求めてもよい。 Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the sales situation calculation means 40 can calculate the number of delivered tractors 2 of the same model that have been delivered to the store 4 in advance from the information in the management server 5. The difference between the unsold units and the delivered units of the same model is the calculated unit sold.
If the collected unique information does not include the same unique information as that stored in the management server 5, the tractor 2 of the same model having the unique information not input to the management server 5 has already been sold. And the number of sold tractors 2 of the same model may be obtained.
　このように、算出未販売台数及び算出販売台数を算出販売状況としている。
　販売状況照合手段４１は、店舗用端末６から送信された通知販売状況に基づいて通知未販売台数及び通知販売台数を求める。販売状況照合手段４１は、管理サーバ５に保存された通知販売状況中から同一機種の販売済の台数を集計して、この台数を通知販売台数とする。また、販売状況照合手段４１は、管理サーバ５に保存された通知販売状況中から同一機種の未販売の台数を集計して、この台数を通知未販売台数とする。 In this way, the calculated unsold unit and the calculated unit sales are used as the calculated sales status.
The sales status collating means 41 obtains the notification unsold number and the notification sales number based on the notification sales status transmitted from the store terminal 6. The sales status collating means 41 aggregates the sold number of the same model from the notification sales status stored in the management server 5 and sets this number as the notification sales volume. Further, the sales status collating means 41 counts the number of unsold units of the same model from the notification sales status stored in the management server 5 and sets this number as the notification unsold number.
　そして、図４（ｃ）に示すように、販売状況照合手段４１は、販売状況算出手段４０によって算出した同一の店舗Ａにおける算出販売状況を読み出し、同一機種について算出未販売台数と通知未販売台数との照合を行う。また、販売状況照合手段４１は、算出販売台数と通知販売台数との照合を行う。
　例えば、店舗Ａの機種「Ｍ１３５Ａ」に着目すると、店舗Ａの店舗用端末６から通知された通知販売状況では、未販売（通知未販売台数）が４台、販売済（通知販売台数）が２台になっているのに対し、作業機用無線端末７からの情報に基づいて求めた算出販売状況では、未販売（算出未販売台数）が３台、販売済（算出販売台数）が３台となっており、照合によって通知販売状況と算出販売状況とが異なっていることが分かる。 Then, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), the sales status collating means 41 reads the calculated sales status at the same store A calculated by the sales status calculating means 40, and calculates the calculated unsold unit number and the notification unsold unit number for the same model. Is checked. Further, the sales status collating unit 41 collates the calculated sales volume with the notified sales volume.
For example, paying attention to the model “M135A” of the store A, in the notification sales situation notified from the store terminal 6 of the store A, there are four unsold (not notified unit) and two sold (notified unit). On the other hand, in the calculated sales situation calculated based on the information from the work equipment wireless terminal 7, there are 3 unsold (calculated unsold units) and 3 sold (calculated units sold) It can be seen that the notification sales status and the calculated sales status are different depending on the verification.
　第２実施形態では、通知販売状況と算出販売状況とを照合したときに、算出未販売台数と通知未販売台数とに乖離があるとき、又は、算出販売台数と通知販売台数とに乖離があるとき、乖離判定手段４２によって乖離信号を出力する。
　以上、作業機２の販売管理システムによれば、販売状況算出手段４０は、作業機用無線端末７から送信された作業機２の情報を収集し、収集した情報に基づき店舗４に置かれた作業機２の台数を求め、当該作業機２の台数を店舗４における算出未販売台数とすると共に、この算出未販売台数と予め店舗４に納入している作業機２の納入台数との差を算出販売台数とし、算出未販売台数及び算出販売台数を算出販売状況としている。 In the second embodiment, when the notification sales status and the calculated sales status are collated, there is a divergence between the calculated unsold unit and the notified unsold unit, or there is a divergence between the calculated sold unit and the notified unit sold. At this time, the divergence determination means 42 outputs a divergence signal.
As described above, according to the sales management system of the work machine 2, the sales status calculation unit 40 collects the information on the work machine 2 transmitted from the work machine wireless terminal 7, and places the information on the collected information in the store 4 The number of work implements 2 is obtained, and the number of work implements 2 is set as the calculated unsold unit number in the store 4, and the difference between the calculated unsold unit number and the delivered unit number of the work implements 2 delivered to the store 4 in advance is calculated. Calculated sales volume, calculated unsold volume and calculated sales volume as calculated sales status.
　加えて、販売状況照合手段４１は、店舗用端末６から通知された通知販売状況に基づいて通知未販売台数及び通知販売台数を求め、算出未販売台数と通知未販売台数との照合、又は、算出販売台数と通知販売台数との照合を行っている。
　このようにすることによって、店舗４において機種毎の販売済又は未販売の作業機２を素早く把握することができる。 In addition, the sales status collating means 41 obtains the notification unsold unit and the notification unit sold based on the notification sales status notified from the store terminal 6, and collates the calculated unsold unit with the notified unsold unit, or The calculated sales volume is compared with the notification sales volume.
By doing in this way, it is possible to quickly grasp the sold or unsold work equipment 2 for each model in the store 4.
　図７は、作業機における他の販売管理システムの全体構成図である。
作業機の販売管理システム１Ｂは、管理サーバ１０５と、店舗用端末１０６と、作業機用無線端末１０７とを備えている。なお、これら管理サーバ１０５、店舗用端末１０６、作業機用無線端末１０７において、上述した管理サーバ５、店舗用端末６、作業機用無線端末７と同じ構成の部分（共通部分）は説明を省略し、異なる構成について説明する。
　作業機２を販売するにあたっては、まず、作業機２を製造会社３から販売の委託を受けた複数の店舗４（店舗Ａ～店舗Ｃ）に納入し、店舗４にて作業機２が顧客（ユーザ）に販売される。即ち、店舗４に設定された作業機２の作業機置き場（作業機展示エリア）Ｅに複数台の作業機２を置いて展示し、この作業機展示エリアＥに展示された作業機２を顧客に販売することになる。図７の店舗Ｂ及び店舗Ｃに示されるように、店舗４にて販売が完了した（販売済）の作業機２は、当該作業機２を購入したユーザに引き取られ店舗４から無くなる（作業機展示エリアＥに存在しなくなる）ことになる。 FIG. 7 is an overall configuration diagram of another sales management system in the work machine.
The work machine sales management system 1B includes a management server 105, a store terminal 106, and a work machine wireless terminal 107. In the management server 105, the store terminal 106, and the work machine wireless terminal 107, the description of the same configuration (common part) as the management server 5, store terminal 6, and work machine radio terminal 7 described above is omitted. Different configurations will be described.
In selling the work machine 2, first, the work machine 2 is delivered to a plurality of stores 4 (store A to store C) entrusted with sales from the manufacturing company 3, and the work machine 2 receives the customer ( User). In other words, a plurality of work machines 2 are displayed in the work machine storage area (work machine display area) E of the work machine 2 set in the store 4, and the work machines 2 displayed in the work machine display area E are displayed as customers. Will be sold to. As shown in the store B and the store C in FIG. 7, the work machine 2 that has been sold at the store 4 (sold) is taken over by the user who purchased the work machine 2 and disappears from the store 4 (work machine). It will no longer exist in the exhibition area E).
　次に、図７に示すトラクタ（作業機）の販売管理システム１Ｂについて詳しく説明する。
　管理サーバ１０５は、例えば、トラクタ２の製造を行う製造会社３から委託を受けてトラクタ２の販売を行う販売管理会社１０８に設置されている。
　管理サーバ１０５は、有線又は無線等のネットワーク１０９（電気通信網）を介して、トラクタ２を販売する各店舗４に設置された店舗用端末１０６、各店舗４に設置された無線用送受信器１４０にアクセス可能となっている。 Next, the sales management system 1B of the tractor (work machine) shown in FIG. 7 will be described in detail.
The management server 105 is installed in, for example, a sales management company 108 that sells the tractor 2 under the commission of the manufacturing company 3 that manufactures the tractor 2.
The management server 105 includes a store terminal 106 installed in each store 4 that sells the tractor 2 and a wireless transceiver 140 installed in each store 4 via a wired or wireless network 109 (electric communication network). Is accessible.
　図８（ａ）に具体的に示すように、管理サーバ１０５は、店舗４毎に、店舗記号（Ａ～Ｃ）、納入されたトラクタ２の固有情報（製造番号、機種番号）、各トラクタ２の価格、及び店舗４から販売完了が報告された否かを示す販売完了報告フラグを、納入済作業機情報として保存している。さらに管理サーバ１０５は、実際にトラクタ２の販売完了が製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８によって確認されたか否かを示す実販売状況フラグも、納入済作業機情報として保存している。 As specifically shown in FIG. 8A, for each store 4, the management server 105 stores a store symbol (A to C), unique information (manufacturing number, model number) of the delivered tractor 2, and each tractor 2 The sales completion report flag indicating whether or not the sales completion is reported from the store 4 is stored as delivered work machine information. Furthermore, the management server 105 also stores an actual sales status flag indicating whether or not the sales completion of the tractor 2 is actually confirmed by the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 as delivered work machine information.
　販売完了報告フラグは、店舗４から販売完了が報告されたトラクタ２については「○」、報告されていないトラクタ２については「×」として示される。各トラクタ２の販売完了報告フラグは、トラクタ２が納入済作業機情報に登録された直後から販売完了が報告されるまでは「×」であり、店舗４から販売完了が報告されて初めて「○」に変更される。
　具体的には、トラクタ２が店舗４で販売され顧客に引き渡されると、店舗４は、当該トラクタ２の販売完了を製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８に報告する。報告を受けた製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８は、当該販売完了が報告されたトラクタ２に対応する情報の販売完了報告フラグを「×」から「○」に変更する。こうすることで、納入済作業機情報では、各店舗４に納入されて未だ販売完了が報告されていないトラクタ２と、販売完了が報告されたトラクタ２とを区別することができるようになる。 The sales completion report flag is indicated as “◯” for the tractor 2 for which the sales completion is reported from the store 4, and “X” for the tractor 2 that has not been reported. The sales completion report flag of each tractor 2 is “×” immediately after the tractor 2 is registered in the delivered work machine information until the sales completion is reported. Is changed.
Specifically, when the tractor 2 is sold at the store 4 and delivered to the customer, the store 4 reports the completion of sales of the tractor 2 to the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108. Upon receipt of the report, the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 changes the sales completion report flag of the information corresponding to the tractor 2 for which the sales completion has been reported from “×” to “◯”. In this way, in the delivered work machine information, it becomes possible to distinguish between the tractor 2 that has been delivered to each store 4 and has not yet been reported for sale completion, and the tractor 2 for which sale completion has been reported.
　したがって、管理サーバ１０５に保存されている納入済作業機情報を参照すれば、販売完了報告フラグ及び固有番号を基に、各店舗４に存在していて未だ販売が完了していないトラクタ２を把握することができる。
　実販売状況フラグは、トラクタ２の販売が実際に完了しているか否かを示すものであり、販売が完了していなければ「×」、販売が完了していれば「○」で示される。この実販売状況フラグは、トラクタ２が店舗４に納入されて納入済作業機情報に登録された当初は「×」であるが、店舗４からの代金の振り込み等が確認できたときに、製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８側で書換えや更新を行い「×」から「○」に変更される。 Therefore, by referring to the delivered work machine information stored in the management server 105, the tractor 2 that is present in each store 4 and has not yet been sold is grasped based on the sales completion report flag and the unique number. can do.
The actual sale status flag indicates whether or not the sale of the tractor 2 is actually completed. If the sale is not completed, “X” is indicated, and if the sale is completed, “O” is indicated. This actual sales status flag is initially “x” when the tractor 2 is delivered to the store 4 and registered in the delivered work machine information. However, when the transfer from the store 4 is confirmed, it is manufactured. The company 3 or the sales management company 108 rewrites or updates it to change from “×” to “◯”.
　上述のとおり、納入済作業機情報は、トラクタ２の製造会社３から各店舗４への納入や、店舗４でのトラクタ２の販売完了を製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８が確認できたときに、書換や更新等が行われるものである。この納入済作業機情報は、販売管理会社１０８側で任意に書換や更新等を行うことができる。
　例えば、図８（ａ）に示すように、店舗Ａには、固有情報（製造番号－機種番号）が、「１００１２－Ｍ１１５Ａ」、「１００１３－Ｍ１１５Ａ」、及び「１０００１－ＭＺ７５５」の３台のトラクタ２が納入され、３台とも販売完了報告フラグが「×」であるので、現在、店舗Ａに存在しているはずであることがわかる。 As described above, the delivered work machine information is obtained when the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 can confirm the delivery from the manufacturing company 3 of the tractor 2 to each store 4 and the completion of the sales of the tractor 2 at the store 4. Rewriting, updating, etc. are performed. This delivered work machine information can be arbitrarily rewritten or updated on the sales management company 108 side.
For example, as shown in FIG. 8A, the store A has three pieces of unique information (manufacturing number-model number) “10012-M115A”, “10013-M115A”, and “10001-MZ755”. Since the tractor 2 is delivered and the sales completion report flag is “x” for all three, it can be understood that the tractor 2 should currently exist in the store A.
　店舗Ｂ及び店舗Ｃにおいても、トラクタ２が３台ずつ納入されており、店舗Ｃにおいては３台とも販売完了報告フラグが「×」であるが、店舗Ｂにおいては、固有情報「１０００１－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２の販売完了報告フラグが「○」である。これにより、店舗Ｂに納入された３台のトラクタ２のうち固有情報「１０００１－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２は、すでに店舗Ｂに存在していないはずであることがわかる。 In store B and store C, three tractors 2 have been delivered, and in store C, the sales completion report flag for all three units is “x”, but in store B, the unique information “10001-M135A” The sales completion report flag of the tractor 2 is “◯”. Thereby, it is understood that the tractor 2 having the unique information “10001-M135A” among the three tractors 2 delivered to the store B should not already exist in the store B.
　なお、納入済作業機情報には、トラクタ２の固有情報、価格、及び販売完了報告フラグだけでなく、必要に応じて他の情報を任意に付加することができる。
　店舗４に設置された店舗用端末１０６は、トラクタ２の請求状況を管理するものであって、例えば、パーソナルコンピュータで構成され、ネットワーク１０９を介して管理サーバ１０５にアクセスできるようになっている。この店舗用端末１０６は、販売されたトラクタ２に関する請求状況に関する販売管理会社１０８からの通知を表示すると共に、当該通知に対する回答を管理サーバ１０５に送信するものである。なお、店舗用端末１０６は、トラクタ２の販売状況に関する通知及び当該通知に対する回答を、管理サーバ１０５との間で送受信できる構成を有するものであればよく、例えば、モバイルコンピュータ等の通信端末でもよい。 It should be noted that the delivered work machine information can be arbitrarily added with other information as needed in addition to the unique information, price, and sales completion report flag of the tractor 2.
The store terminal 106 installed in the store 4 manages the billing status of the tractor 2, and is configured by a personal computer, for example, and can access the management server 105 via the network 109. The store terminal 106 displays a notification from the sales management company 108 regarding the billing status regarding the sold tractor 2 and transmits a response to the notification to the management server 105. Note that the shop terminal 106 only needs to have a configuration capable of transmitting / receiving a notification regarding the sales status of the tractor 2 and a response to the notification to / from the management server 105, and may be a communication terminal such as a mobile computer, for example. .
　上述したように、管理サーバ１０５は、納入済作業機情報を保持すると共に、店舗用端末１０６に店舗４が販売したトラクタ２の代金の請求を通知することができる。本実施形態においては、販売管理会社１０８の管理サーバ１０５が、店舗４が販売したトラクタを特定する。後述するように、各店舗４に設置された作業機用無線端末７から送信された各トラクタ２の固有情報を用いることによって、管理サーバ１０５が、店舗４で販売されたトラクタを特定できるような工夫がなされている。 As described above, the management server 105 holds the delivered work machine information and can notify the store terminal 106 of the charge for the tractor 2 sold by the store 4. In the present embodiment, the management server 105 of the sales management company 108 identifies the tractor sold by the store 4. As will be described later, the management server 105 can identify the tractor sold at the store 4 by using the unique information of each tractor 2 transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 7 installed at each store 4.

　以下に、販売管理会社１０８の管理サーバ１０５が、店舗４で販売されたトラクタ２を特定するための構成について説明すると共に、さらに、作業機の販売管理システム１Ｂについて詳しく説明する。
　トラクタ２の販売方法において、製造会社３は、トラクタ２を製造する製造会社３が店舗４にトラクタ２を納入した後、店舗４にてトラクタ２の販売が完了した時点で、店舗４からトラクタ２の代金を回収する。つまり、トラクタ２を製造会社３から店舗４に納入した時点では、店舗４は納入されたトラクタ２の代金を製造会社３へ支払ってはおらず、トラクタ２は製造会社３の資産として店舗４に展示又は保管されている。 Hereinafter, a configuration for the management server 105 of the sales management company 108 to identify the tractor 2 sold at the store 4 will be described, and the sales management system 1B of the work machine will be described in detail.
In the sales method of the tractor 2, the manufacturing company 3 supplies the tractor 2 from the store 4 when the sales of the tractor 2 is completed at the store 4 after the manufacturing company 3 that manufactures the tractor 2 delivers the tractor 2 to the store 4. Collect the price of. In other words, when the tractor 2 is delivered from the manufacturing company 3 to the store 4, the store 4 does not pay the manufacturing company 3 for the delivered tractor 2, and the tractor 2 is exhibited as an asset of the manufacturing company 3 at the store 4. Or it is kept.
　店舗４にてトラクタ２の売買契約が成立すると、店舗４側は顧客にトラクタ２の代金の請求を行い、その後、店舗４側から製造会社３にトラクタ２の代金が支払われることになる。店舗４側から製造会社３へのトラクタ２の代金の支払いは、大凡、トラクタ２の販売が完了し（売買契約が履行され）、店舗４から販売管理会社１０８への販売完了の通知がなされた後に行われるのが実情である。なお、トラクタ２の代金は、店舗４側から製造会社３に直接支払われる場合だけでなく、販売管理会社１０８等を経由して支払われる場合もある。 When the sales contract for the tractor 2 is established at the store 4, the store 4 charges the customer for the price of the tractor 2, and then the store 4 pays the price of the tractor 2 to the manufacturing company 3. The payment of the price of the tractor 2 from the store 4 side to the manufacturing company 3 is generally completed when the sale of the tractor 2 is completed (a sales contract is fulfilled), and the store 4 is notified of the sale completion to the sales management company 108 The reality is what is done later. Note that the price of the tractor 2 is not only paid directly to the manufacturing company 3 from the store 4 side, but may be paid via the sales management company 108 or the like.
　このように、トラクタ２の販売方法では、トラクタ２の代金の回収は、店舗４におけるトラクタ２の販売完了後に行われることが多い。そこで、販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３においても、店舗４からの申告とは別に、店舗４におけるトラクタ２の販売状況を出来るだけ正確に把握したいという要望がある。
　そこで、本実施形態による作業機の販売管理システム１Ｂでは、まず、電波を発信する作業機用無線端末７をトラクタ２に搭載すると共に、作業機用無線端末１０７と送受信可能な無線用送受信器１４０を店舗４に設置する。 As described above, in the method of selling the tractor 2, the price of the tractor 2 is often collected after the sale of the tractor 2 in the store 4 is completed. Accordingly, the sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 also has a demand for ascertaining the sales status of the tractor 2 in the store 4 as accurately as possible, apart from the declaration from the store 4.
Therefore, in the work machine sales management system 1B according to the present embodiment, first, the work machine radio terminal 7 that transmits radio waves is mounted on the tractor 2 and the radio transceiver 140 that can transmit to and receive from the work machine radio terminal 107 is provided. Is installed in the store 4.
　作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との無線通信を行い、作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との通信が可能であるとき（データのやり取りができるとき）は、当該作業機用無線端末１０７を搭載したトラクタ２は店舗４（又は作業機展示エリアＥ）に存在していて未販売の状態であるとする。また、作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との通信が不能となったとき（作業機用無線端末１０７からのデータが無線用送受信器１４０にて受信できないとき）は、当該作業機用無線端末１０７を搭載したトラクタ２は店舗４（又は作業機展示エリアＥ）には存在せず、販売が完了したとみなす。 When wireless communication is performed between the work machine wireless terminal 107 and the wireless transceiver 140 and communication between the work machine wireless terminal 107 and the wireless transceiver 140 is possible (when data can be exchanged), It is assumed that the tractor 2 equipped with the work machine wireless terminal 107 exists in the store 4 (or work machine display area E) and is not yet sold. Further, when communication between the work machine radio terminal 107 and the radio transceiver 140 becomes impossible (when data from the work machine radio terminal 107 cannot be received by the radio transceiver 140), the work machine The tractor 2 equipped with the wireless terminal 107 for use does not exist in the store 4 (or the work machine display area E), and is considered to have been sold.
　つまり、トラクタ２が店舗４内（作業機展示エリアＥ）に存在すると、作業機用無線端末１０７からの電波が無線用送受信器１４０に届くため、作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との通信が成立する（通信が可能となる）。この無線通信の成立によって、トラクタ２が未販売であることを確認することができる。
　一方、トラクタ２が店舗４内（作業機展示エリアＥ）に存在しなくなると、作業機用無線端末１０７からの電波が無線用送受信器１４０に届かなくなるため、作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との通信は成立しなくなる（通信が不能となる）。この無線通信の不成立によって、店舗４内（作業機展示エリアＥ）に存在しなくなったトラクタ２が販売されて顧客に引き取られたと確認することができる。 That is, when the tractor 2 exists in the store 4 (work machine display area E), radio waves from the work machine radio terminal 107 reach the radio transceiver 140, and thus the work machine radio terminal 107 and the radio transceiver 140 are connected. Is established (communication is possible). By establishing this wireless communication, it can be confirmed that the tractor 2 is not sold.
On the other hand, when the tractor 2 does not exist in the store 4 (work machine display area E), radio waves from the work machine radio terminal 107 do not reach the radio transceiver 140. Communication with the transceiver 140 is not established (communication is disabled). Due to the failure of the wireless communication, it can be confirmed that the tractor 2 that no longer exists in the store 4 (work machine display area E) has been sold and taken over by the customer.
　本発明では、このように作業機用無線端末１０７を利用して、トラクタ２の販売状況を販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３側でも把握できるようにしている。
　そのため、製造会社３から納入されて販売対象となるトラクタ２は、無線用送受信器１４０と当該トラクタ２に搭載した作業機用無線端末１０７との無線通信が成立するように、店舗４内の作業機置き場（作業機展示エリア）Ｅに置かれる。 In the present invention, the sales status of the tractor 2 can be grasped by the sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 side by using the work machine wireless terminal 107 in this way.
Therefore, the tractor 2 that is delivered from the manufacturing company 3 and that is to be sold is operated in the store 4 so that wireless communication is established between the wireless transceiver 140 and the work equipment wireless terminal 107 mounted on the tractor 2. It is placed in the machine storage area (work machine display area) E.
  作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との無線通信範囲は限定されないが、作業機展示エリアＥと略同じ範囲となるように設定することが好ましい。例えば、作業機展示エリアＥ内では作業機用無線端末１０７を搭載したトラクタ２が何処にいても、当該作業機用無線端末１０７の電波が無線用送受信器１４０に届くように、無線通信範囲を設定しておくことが好ましい。無線通信範囲は、無線用送受信器１４０を中心に、例えば、半径５００ｍ以下に設定されることが好ましい。 The wireless communication range between the work machine wireless terminal 107 and the wireless transceiver 140 is not limited, but is preferably set to be substantially the same as the work machine display area E. For example, in the work implement display area E, the wireless communication range is set so that the radio waves of the work implement wireless terminal 107 can reach the radio transceiver 140 regardless of where the tractor 2 equipped with the work implement wireless terminal 107 is located. It is preferable to set. The wireless communication range is preferably set to a radius of 500 m or less, for example, with the wireless transceiver 140 as the center.
　そして、定期的（例えば、一日毎、一週間毎、一ヶ月毎）にトラクタ２の固有情報（製造番号及び機種番号）を送信するように作業機用無線端末１０７を設定しておく。なお、作業機用無線端末１０７と無線用送受信器１４０との通信頻度は、間欠的に行っても良いし継続的（リアルタイム）に行ってもよい。
　なお、同一店舗４に置かれた全てのトラクタ２（作業機用無線端末１０７）が略同一時間帯に無線用送受信器１４０へトラクタ２の固有情報を送信してもよいし、管理サーバ１０５からの要求に応じて略同一時間帯にトラクタ２（作業機用無線端末１０７）がトラクタ２の固有情報を送信してもよい。 The work equipment wireless terminal 107 is set so as to transmit the unique information (manufacturing number and model number) of the tractor 2 periodically (for example, every day, every week, or every month). Note that the frequency of communication between the work machine wireless terminal 107 and the wireless transceiver 140 may be intermittent or may be performed continuously (in real time).
All the tractors 2 (work machine radio terminals 107) placed in the same store 4 may transmit the unique information of the tractor 2 to the radio transceiver 140 in substantially the same time zone. In response to the request, the tractor 2 (work machine radio terminal 107) may transmit the unique information of the tractor 2 in substantially the same time zone.
　無線用送受信器１４０では、作業機用無線端末１０７からのトラクタ２の固有情報を受信すると、管理サーバ１０５に当該トラクタ２の固有情報を送信するようにしておく。したがって、店舗４に存在するトラクタ２の固有情報を、作業機用無線端末１０７及び無線用送受信器１４０を介して、定期的に管理サーバ１０５に送ることができる。
  なお、無線用送受信器１４０は作業機用無線端末１０７から送られてきた固有情報（情報）を受信して当該固有情報（情報）を管理サーバ１０５に送信するものであれば、どのようなものであってもよい。 When the wireless transceiver 140 receives the unique information of the tractor 2 from the work equipment wireless terminal 107, the unique information of the tractor 2 is transmitted to the management server 105. Therefore, the unique information of the tractor 2 existing in the store 4 can be periodically sent to the management server 105 via the work equipment wireless terminal 107 and the wireless transceiver 140.
The wireless transceiver 140 receives any specific information (information) sent from the work machine wireless terminal 107 and transmits the specific information (information) to the management server 105. It may be.
　販売管理会社１０８の管理サーバ１０５は、各店舗４の無線用送受信器１４０から定期的に送信されてくるトラクタ２の固有情報を一覧にして、図８（ｂ）に示すような作業機用無線端末情報を作成する。図８（ｂ）に示す作業機用無線端末情報は、ある一時期に各店舗４（店舗Ａ～店舗Ｃ）のトラクタ２の作業機用無線端末１０７から無線用送受信器１４０を経て送信されたトラクタ２の固有情報（機種番号及び製造番号）を一覧にしたものである。 The management server 105 of the sales management company 108 lists the unique information of the tractor 2 periodically transmitted from the wireless transceiver 140 of each store 4 and uses the wireless for working machine as shown in FIG. Create terminal information. The work equipment wireless terminal information shown in FIG. 8B is transmitted from the work equipment wireless terminal 107 of the tractor 2 of each store 4 (store A to store C) through the wireless transceiver 140 at a certain time. 2 is a list of specific information (model number and manufacturing number).
　こうすることによって、予め管理サーバ１０５に保存されている図８（ａ）の納入済作業機情報（製造会社３から店舗Ａ～店舗Ｃの納入されたトラクタ２の固有情報の一覧）と、上述した図８（ｂ）に示す作業機用無線端末情報とを比較することができる。
　管理サーバ１０５は、さらに作業機特定手段１５０と通知手段１５１とを備えている。これら作業機特定手段１５０及び通知手段１５１は、管理サーバ１０５に格納されたプログラム等により構成されている。 By doing so, the delivered work machine information (a list of unique information of the tractor 2 delivered to the stores A to C from the manufacturing company 3) in FIG. It can be compared with the wireless terminal information for work equipment shown in FIG.
The management server 105 further includes work implement specifying means 150 and notification means 151. The work machine specifying unit 150 and the notification unit 151 are configured by a program stored in the management server 105.
　作業機特定手段１５０は、まず、予め管理サーバ１０５に保存されている納入済作業機情報と、各店舗４の無線用送受信器１４０から送信されたトラクタ２の固有情報の一覧である作業機用無線端末情報とを突き合わせて照合し、比較する。次に、納入済作業機情報と作業機用無線端末情報の間で互いに一致しないトラクタ２の固有情報を含む情報、つまり、作業機用無線端末情報に含まれない固有情報に対応するトラクタ２の情報を納入済作業機情報から抽出し、当該含まれないトラクタ２の情報を一覧にした不一致作業機情報を生成することで、不一致作業機情報に含まれるトラクタ２を販売済のトラクタであると特定するものである。　 The work machine specifying means 150 first has a work machine information that is a list of delivered work machine information stored in advance in the management server 105 and unique information of the tractor 2 transmitted from the radio transceiver 140 of each store 4. Match and compare wireless terminal information. Next, the information including the unique information of the tractor 2 that does not match between the delivered work machine information and the work machine wireless terminal information, that is, the tractor 2 corresponding to the unique information not included in the work machine wireless terminal information. The information is extracted from the delivered work machine information, and the mismatched work machine information in which the information of the tractor 2 not included is listed is generated, so that the tractor 2 included in the mismatched work machine information is a sold tractor. It is something to identify. *
　例えば、図８（ａ）の納入済作業機情報と図８（ｂ）の作業機用無線端末情報を比較すると、作業機用無線端末情報には、固有情報「１０００１－Ｍ１３５Ａ」、「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」、及び「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」が含まれていないことがわかる。これら３台のトラクタ２に対応する固有情報のうち、「１０００１－Ｍ１３５Ａ」に関しては販売完了報告フラグが「○」になっているので、固有情報「１０００１－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２は、店舗Ｂに存在していない。しかし、固有情報「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」及び「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」の２台のトラクタ２は、販売完了報告フラグが「×」になっているので、それぞれ店舗Ｂと店舗Ｃに存在しているはずである。 For example, when the delivered work machine information in FIG. 8A and the work machine wireless terminal information in FIG. 8B are compared, the work machine wireless terminal information includes the unique information “10001-M135A”, “10006- It can be seen that “M135A” and “10004-M135A” are not included. Among the unique information corresponding to these three tractors 2, the sales completion report flag for “10001-M135A” is “O”, so the tractor 2 with the unique information “10001-M135A” Does not exist. However, the two tractors 2 of the unique information “10006-M135A” and “10004-M135A” have the sales completion report flag “x”, so they should exist in the store B and the store C, respectively. is there.
　よって、作業機特定手段１５０は、店舗Ｂと店舗Ｃに存在しているはずの固有情報「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」及び「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」に対応する２台のトラクタ２の情報を納入済作業機情報から抽出し、図８（ｃ）に示す不一致作業機情報を生成する。
　このように生成された不一致作業機情報を参照すれば、どの店舗においてどの固有情報（機種及び製造番号）のトラクタ２が存在していないのかを特定することができる。例えば、図８（ｃ）の不一致作業機情報によれば、店舗Ｂに存在していなくてはならない固有情報「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２が、図７の店舗Ｂに示されるように作業機展示エリアＥ内に存在していないと特定することができる。また、店舗Ｃに存在していなくてはならない固有情報「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ２が、図７の店舗Ｃに示されるように作業機展示エリアＥ内に存在していないと特定することができる。 Therefore, the work machine specifying means 150 uses the information on the two tractors 2 corresponding to the unique information “10006-M135A” and “10004-M135A” that should exist in the stores B and C as the delivered work machine information. To generate mismatched work machine information shown in FIG.
By referring to the inconsistent work machine information generated in this way, it is possible to specify which specific information (model and serial number) of the tractor 2 does not exist in which store. For example, according to the inconsistent work machine information in FIG. 8C, the tractor 2 having the unique information “10006-M135A” that must exist in the store B is shown in the store B in FIG. It can be specified that it does not exist in the exhibition area E. Further, it may be specified that the tractor 2 having the unique information “10004-M135A” that must exist in the store C does not exist in the work implement display area E as shown in the store C of FIG. it can.
　なお、無線用送受信器１４０の無線用アドレス又はＩＤ等を割り当てることによって、無線用送受信器１４０がどこの店舗４に設置されているか分かるようにしてもよい。こうすることで、管理サーバ１０５が固有情報を取得したときには、無線用送受信器１４０の無線用アドレス又はＩＤ等によってどこの店舗４から送られたものが管理サーバ１０５側で分かるようになる。 It should be noted that by assigning the wireless address or ID of the wireless transceiver 140, the store 4 where the wireless transceiver 140 is installed may be known. By doing so, when the management server 105 acquires the unique information, the management server 105 can know what is sent from which store 4 by the wireless address or ID of the wireless transceiver 140.
　或いは、作業機用無線端末１０７に予め無線用アドレスを割り振って、管理サーバ１０５に、トラクタ２の固有情報、無線用アドレス及び納品した店舗４名を関連付けて保存しておく。そして、作業機用無線端末１０７から固有情報を送信するときに固有情報及び無線用アドレスとを、無線用送受信器１４０を介して管理サーバ１０５に送信することによって、どこの店舗４から情報が送られてきたか分かるようにしてもよい。 Alternatively, a wireless address is allocated to the work machine wireless terminal 107 in advance, and the management server 105 stores the unique information of the tractor 2, the wireless address, and the four delivered stores in association with each other. Then, when transmitting the unique information from the work machine wireless terminal 107, the unique information and the wireless address are transmitted to the management server 105 via the wireless transceiver 140, so that the information can be transmitted from any store 4. You may make it understand what has been done.
　管理サーバ１０５の通知手段１５１は、作業機特定手段１５０で生成された不一致作業機情報を基に、不一致作業機情報として抽出されたトラクタ２の代金を請求する旨を、該当する店舗４の店舗用端末に通知するものである。
　例えば、作業機特定手段１５０が図８（ｃ）の不一致作業機情報を生成すると、通知手段１５１は、店舗Ｂの店舗用端末に対して、固有情報「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ１台分についての代金の請求を通知する。通知手段１５１は、また、店舗Ｃの店舗用端末に対して、固有情報「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」のトラクタ１台分についての代金の請求を通知する。 The notification means 151 of the management server 105 indicates that the charge of the tractor 2 extracted as the mismatched work machine information is charged based on the mismatched work machine information generated by the work machine specifying means 150. To notify the terminal.
For example, when the work machine specifying unit 150 generates the mismatched work machine information shown in FIG. 8C, the notification unit 151 notifies the store terminal of the store B about one tractor having the unique information “10006-M135A”. Notify me of a charge for. The notification unit 151 also notifies the store terminal of the store C of a charge for the price of one tractor of the unique information “10004-M135A”.
　店舗Ｂに対する当該請求後、店舗Ｂが製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８に代金を支払うと、製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８は、納入済作業機情報における固有情報「１０００６－Ｍ１３５Ａ」に関する実販売状況を「×」から「○」に更新する。また、店舗Ｃに対する当該請求後、店舗Ｃが製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８に代金を支払うと、製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８は、納入済作業機情報における固有情報「１０００４－Ｍ１３５Ａ」に関する実販売状況を「×」から「○」に更新する。 After the billing to the store B, when the store B pays the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108, the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 actually sells the unique information “10006-M135A” in the delivered work machine information. Update the status from “X” to “O”. When the store C pays the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 after the billing to the store C, the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 relates to the unique information “10004-M135A” in the delivered work machine information. Update the actual sales status from “×” to “○”.
　この代金請求の通知では、少なくとも、トラクタを特定する固有情報と請求金額が店舗用端末の表示画面に表示される。このとき同時に、表示画面に表示される通知の中に、当該請求を受け入れることを選択するボタンを通知確認手段１６０として用意しておく。店舗４が請求を受け入れるボタンを押せば、その選択は直ちに管理サーバ１０５に通知されるので、管理サーバ１０５は、当該店舗４に対する請求を実行することができる。 In this billing notice, at least the unique information for identifying the tractor and the billing amount are displayed on the display screen of the shop terminal. At the same time, in the notification displayed on the display screen, a button for selecting to accept the request is prepared as the notification confirmation unit 160. If the store 4 presses a button for accepting a charge, the selection is immediately notified to the management server 105, so the management server 105 can execute a charge for the store 4.
　店舗４に対する請求の実行手段としては、店舗４から製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８の銀行口座への振り込み、店舗４の銀行口座から製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８の銀行口座への振り替え、及び店舗４が予め登録したクレジットカードを使った代金の回収などが、代表的な例として挙げられる。
　また、通知確認手段１６０として、表示画面に表示される通知の中に、当該請求を拒否することを選択するボタンを用意しておくこともできる。店舗４が請求を拒否するボタンを押せば、その選択は直ちに管理サーバ１０５に通知されるので、管理サーバ１０５は、当該店舗４に対する請求を保留することができる。 The billing execution means for the store 4 includes a transfer from the store 4 to the bank account of the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108, a transfer from the bank account of the store 4 to the bank account of the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108, and A typical example is collection of a price using a credit card registered in advance by the store 4.
Further, as the notification confirmation means 160, a button for selecting to reject the charge can be prepared in the notification displayed on the display screen. If the store 4 presses a button for refusing billing, the selection is immediately notified to the management server 105, so the management server 105 can suspend billing for the store 4.
　店舗４が通知された代金の請求を拒否した場合、販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３は、当該店舗４に視察に行くなどして、店舗４が拒否した理由を調査することができる。
　なお、このような請求の通知は、必ずしも店舗用端末の表示画面に表示する必要はない。販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３が、電子メールなどで店舗４に通知し、店舗４も、請求を受け入れるか否かの選択を電子メールで回答するようにしてもよい。この場合は店舗４からの回答を人の手によって確認しなくてはならないが、少なくとも販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３から店舗４への通知は、通知手段１５１によって、作業機特定手段１５０で生成された不一致作業機情報を基に自動化することができる。 When the store 4 refuses the bill for the notified price, the sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 can go to the store 4 to check the reason for the rejection.
Note that such a billing notification is not necessarily displayed on the display screen of the store terminal. The sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 may notify the store 4 by e-mail or the like, and the store 4 may answer the selection whether or not to accept the request by e-mail. In this case, the answer from the store 4 must be confirmed manually, but at least the notification from the sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 to the store 4 is generated by the work machine specifying unit 150 by the notification unit 151. This can be automated based on the mismatched work machine information.
　なお、この通知手段１５１による代金請求の通知とあわせて、作業機特定手段１５０によって生成された、例えば図８（ｃ）に示す不一致作業機情報を、管理サーバ１０５に接続された第２表示装置４４（モニタ）に表示してもよい。或いは、各店舗４に存在しているトラクタ２と存在していないトラクタ２とが区別できるように、図８（ｂ）の作業機用無線端末情報と図８（ｃ）の不一致作業機情報の両方が表示されてもよい。 In addition, the second display device connected to the management server 105, for example, the mismatch work machine information shown in FIG. You may display on 44 (monitor). Alternatively, so that the tractor 2 present in each store 4 can be distinguished from the non-existing tractor 2, the wireless terminal information for the work machine in FIG. 8B and the mismatched work machine information in FIG. Both may be displayed.
　このようにすることによって、販売管理会社１０８又は製造会社３は、販売済みであるにもかかわらず店舗４から販売完了の報告がなされておらず、納入済作業機情報から削除されていないトラクタ２を特定することができる。余りにも多くの台数のトラクタ２について販売完了の報告を怠っている店舗４が存在する場合は、当該店舗４に何らかの問題が発生していると判断して、製造会社３や販売管理会社１０８から当該店舗４に視察に行くことができる。 By doing so, the sales management company 108 or the manufacturing company 3 has not been reported from the store 4 even though it has already been sold, and the tractor 2 that has not been deleted from the delivered work machine information. Can be specified. If there is a store 4 that has neglected to report the completion of sales for too many tractors 2, it is determined that some problem has occurred in the store 4, and the manufacturing company 3 and the sales management company 108 The store 4 can be visited.
　例えば、図９に示すように、店舗４のトラクタ２の販売台数が推移しているとする。図９に示す月毎の販売台数は、当該店舗４から製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８に報告されたトラクタ２と、上述した図８（ｃ）に示す不一致作業機情報に抽出された当該店舗４に納品済みのトラクタ２の合計台数を表している。例えば、２００９年の１月は１３０台前後、２００９年の９月は１９０台前後の販売台数となっており、２００９年の１月から２０１０年の８月までをならすと、毎月ほぼ１５０台前後の販売台数で推移している。これによって、この店舗４の毎月の販売台数を、１５０台と見込むことができる。ところが、２０１０年の９月に、突如、見込み販売台数の３倍を超える４５０台超の販売台数を示している。 For example, as shown in FIG. 9, it is assumed that the sales volume of the tractor 2 in the store 4 is changing. The number of units sold per month shown in FIG. 9 indicates the tractor 2 reported from the store 4 to the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 and the store extracted in the mismatched work machine information shown in FIG. 4 shows the total number of delivered tractors 2. For example, in January 2009, sales were around 130 units, and in September 2009, sales were around 190 units. From January 2009 to August 2010, approximately 150 units were sold every month. The number of vehicles sold has been increasing. As a result, the monthly sales volume of the store 4 can be expected to be 150. However, in September 2010, it suddenly showed sales of over 450 units, more than three times the expected sales.
　この２０１０年９月のように、１ヶ月間の販売台数が通常見込まれる販売台数の数倍となった場合、製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８は、図８（ｃ）に示す不一致作業機情報を参照して、当該数倍となった販売台数のうち、不一致作業機情報によって抽出されたトラクタ２の台数を確認する。
　確認の結果、店舗４において、２０１０年９月の販売台数４５０台超のうち、店舗４から製造会社３又は販売管理会社１０８に報告されたトラクタ２は１５０台であり、不一致作業機情報によって抽出されたトラクタ２が３００台超であることが分かったとする。この場合、販売済の報告がなされていないトラクタ２の台数が、報告された台数の２倍を超えており、余りにも多くの台数のトラクタ２について販売完了の報告を怠っている異常な状態であると判断できる。 As in September 2010, when the number of units sold for one month is several times the number of units that are normally expected, the manufacturing company 3 or the sales management company 108 displays the discordant work machine information shown in FIG. Referring to the above, the number of tractors 2 extracted by the mismatched work machine information is confirmed from the sales number that has increased several times.
