Delivery management system, server, delivery management method, delivery user terminal, client user terminal, and information processing method

A delivery management system includes a client user terminal, a lock/unlock device, a delivery user terminal, and a processor. The client user terminal is used by a client user who submits a request to deliver the package to a predetermined compartment of a vehicle. The processor makes an electronic payment for a fee when a request to pay for the fee associated with a package has been made from the client user terminal. The processor issues authentication information to a delivery user terminal when the processor has made the electronic payment in a case where there is specification that the client user pays for the fee at the time of delivery of the package. The delivery user terminal makes a request of a lock/unlock device to lock or unlock the predetermined compartment with the authentication information. The lock/unlock device locks or unlocks the predetermined compartment.

When obtaining the return processing instruction included in the block, the process execution unit updates the right holder information.

Method for controlling locker based on delivery message and electronic device

Embodiments provide a method for controlling a locker based on a delivery message. In those embodiments, an electronic device obtains a delivery message of a first package that is sent by a server, where the delivery message includes pickup information of the first package and location information of a locker in which the first package is placed, and the pickup information is used to open a pickup box in which the first package is placed in the locker. The electronic device then determines a first area based on the location information, where the locker is located in the first area; and displays a pickup function item when it is detected that the electronic device enters the first area. Still in those embodiments, the electronic device sends a locker opening request to the server when it is detected that a user triggers the pickup function item.
