## Abstract

A delivery system for delivering a delivery item to a vehicle includes a vehicle equipped with a cooling box which is provided with an openable door and configured to accommodate a delivery item, at least one deliverer terminal provided with a notification device for sending a notification to a deliverer, and a delivery server configured to communicate with the vehicle and the deliverer terminal. The delivery server sends to the deliverer terminal a notification indicating that the door is unclosed if the deliverer forgets to close the door.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A delivery system comprising:
a vehicle configiired to accommodate a delivery item and connected to Internet;
a deliverer terminal connected to the internet and including a display; and
a delivery server connected to the Internet; wherein:
the vehicle includes a vehicle, processor,
the deliverer terminal obtains identifying information indicating a registered vehicle ID number of the vehicle,
when the vehicle is designated as a destination for the delivery item, the registered vehicle ID of the vehicle is stored as the destination and the deliverer terminal sends a first request signal requesting position information of the registered vehicle to the delivery server, the first request signal including a delivery item ID number of the delivery item to be delivered to the vehicle and the registered vehicle ID number,
the deliver server obtains a communication ID of the vehicle from a registered vehicle database and the registered vehicle ID number included in the first request signal,
the delivery server creates a QR code for the vehicle and sends a second request signal, including the QR code for the vehicle, to the vehicle using the communication ID,
the vehicle, upon receiving the second request signal from the delivery server, obtains current position information from a position acquisition device and the vehicle sends the current position information to the delivery server,
the delivery server, upon receiving the current position information from the vehicle, sends to the deliver terminal the current position information of the registered vehicle and the OR code far the registered vehicle,
a deliverer, when arriving at the vehicle, positions the deliverer terminal such that a reader of the vehicle reads the QR code for the vehicle displayed on the display of the deliverer terminal, and
the vehicle processor compares the QR code of the vehicle read by the reader from the deliverer terminal to the OR code for the vehicle sent with the second request signal, and opens the door of the vehicle when the QR code of the vehicle read by the reader from the deliverer terminal and the QR code sent with the second request signal match each other.
