Abstract
A technology, in which when an article, ordered by a person through a network being not meeting each other, is delivered to the person, the article can be surely delivered to the person who made the order by not allowing that another person pretends to be the person who made the order, and it can be verified that the article was delivered to the person who made the order, is provided. When a person orders an article, the person inputs his/her own fingerprint to an ordering terminal in addition to inputting order information including the article number of the article, its destination (the delivering address of the article), the payment method, the price, and so on. And a fingerprint feature of the inputted fingerprint and the order information are transmitted to an electronic commerce (EC) server through a network. The EC server transmits the fingerprint feature of the person who made the order and an order number attached to the order to a person verifying terminal installed in a shop designated by the person who made the order. And when a person who is to receive the article requires that the article is delivered, a sales clerk in the shop takes a fingerprint of the person who is to receive the article by using a person verifying terminal, and the person verifying terminal matches the fingerprint feature of the person who is to receive the article with the fingerprint feature of the person who made the order transmitted from the EC server. And only when the matched result is equal, the article is delivered to the person who is to receive the article. Further, verified information composed of the fingerprint feature of the person who received the article and the order number of the article are transmitted to the EC server, and the verified information is stored in verified information storage in the EC server.
