DETAILED DESCRIPTION As is apparent from the above, it is possible to achieve home delivery service of commodities or goods even in absence of the purchaser by using the delivery box of the conventional technology.
However, it is still difficult to provide such a delivery box in front of every house and such the common delivery locker in the common place for every condominium, from a view point of spaces.
Further, if being provided such the common delivery locker in the common place of the condominium, there is still a problem in the conventional technology mentioned above, i.
e.
, of forgetting to receive the delivered commodities.
For the distributor side, since it is impossible to check whether the delivered commodities which is received in the delivery box is taken out therefrom or not, it is also impossible to make a confirmation of receipt by the resident of the addressee.
In other words, it is still impossible to follow up the receipt by the resident of the address of the delivery goods.
Further, in the method for reducing the chance of delivery to the absent residence by using the information of desired date and time for the delivery service in accordance with the conventional art, it is necessary for the resident of the address to know that there is commodities or goods to be delivered to her/him.
For this reason, the distributor must previously notify the resident of the address that there are commodities or goods to be delivered to her/him, by using such as a telephone call or a card for absentee.
This also comes to be a considerable burden for the distributor.
Further, the tendency detected from the stored data of the desired date and time for delivery can only indicate that the resident stays at home accidentally on a certain date and time of a day of a week, only up to that time.
Therefore, even in the case that it is delivered on the detected date and time of high possibility for the resident to stay at home, the possibility of absence is still high, and there is still remained a lot of possibility that the purchased commodities could be delivered earlier than that detected date and time
