Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present invention relates to a system and method for confidentially issuing and managing a delivery waybill using virtual personal information that are capable of using virtual personal information corresponding to actual personal information of a recipient in an online shopping mall, confirming a customer order number in the online shopping mall, thereby preventing illegal issuance of a delivery waybill, and more safely and conveniently outputting the delivery waybill without a primary merchandise supply company system connected to the online shopping mall and subordinate merchandise supply company systems thereof storing the personal information of the customer. 
     More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for confidentially issuing and managing a delivery waybill that enables a customer to input virtual personal information, rather than actual personal information of a recipient, in each shopping mall over the Internet, and which is configured such that a customer order number in the online shopping mall is confirmed at the time of outputting a delivery waybill, whereby it is possible to prevent illegal issuance of the delivery waybill, and such that a primary merchandise supply company system connected to the online shopping mall and subordinate merchandise supply company systems thereof do not store the personal information of the customer, whereby it is possible to prevent leakage of the personal information of the customer. 
     BACKGROUND ART 
     With the rapid growth of online shopping markets in modern society, there is high possibility that actual personal information of merchandise recipients will be leaked by online sellers who sell merchandise to be ordered by customers, such as home shopping malls or Internet shopping malls, and business partners who receive the actual personal information of the merchandise recipients from the online sellers in order to deliver the merchandise. 
     In addition, the responsibility of the online sellers and the business partners who deliver merchandise has become greater as the result of strengthening individual information protection laws for protecting individual information, such as personal information of customers. 
     In order to solve the above problems, technologies that enable a plurality of business partners to deliver merchandise without storing actual personal information of recipients in a processing system possessed by the business partners have been developed. 
     Systems adopting these technologies are shown in  FIG. 1 . For example, as is simply shown in  FIG. 1 , a first type of scheme is configured such that respective Internet shopping malls A and B ( 11  and  12 ) have their own confidential delivery waybill output systems and business partner  1  ( 13 ) who delivers merchandise accesses a corresponding one of the confidential delivery waybill output systems in order to output a confidential delivery waybill for customer order information of a customer, e.g. orderer a ( 10 ) (see  FIG. 1(A) ), and a second type of scheme is configured to include an independent hub system  30  capable of receiving personal information of recipients from a plurality of Internet shopping malls X and Y ( 21  and  22 ) in order to output delivery waybills such that business partner  2  ( 23 ) who delivers merchandise accesses the hub system in order to output a confidential delivery waybill for customer order information of a customer, e.g. orderer b ( 20 ) (see  FIG. 1(B) ). 
     In the first type of scheme or the second type of scheme, however, the actual personal information of a recipient must be input in every online shopping mall at the time of ordering merchandise, which is inconvenient, and the personal information of the recipient, input at the time of ordering merchandise, is stored in the respective shopping malls or in the hub system, whereby personal information may be leaked in large quantities, and delivery waybills may be illegally issued. 
     Therefore, there is urgent necessity for a scheme that is capable of preventing the leakage of actual personal information of recipients in large quantities through the provision of an independent personal information managing system that is capable of overcoming the inconveniences of a customer inputting personal information, such as a name, telephone, and address, as shipping destination information in every online shopping mall or for every order at the time of ordering merchandise, preventing actual personal information of a recipient from being stored in the online shopping mall, and preventing the actual personal information of the recipient, input every time, from being repeatedly stored in the hub system, and a confidential delivery waybill issuing system that is capable of confirming a customer order number provided by an online shopping mall system when a confidential delivery waybill is output using virtual personal information, whereby it is possible to prevent illegal issuance of the delivery waybill.

In order to definitely describe the embodiments of the present invention, parts that are not related to the description of the embodiment of the present invention are omitted from the drawings, and similar reference numerals will be used throughout the drawings to refer to similar parts. 
       FIG. 2  schematically shows principal components constituting a system for confidentially issuing and managing a delivery waybill using virtual personal information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, a description will be given of the order of a customer, the output of a delivery waybill, and the delivery of merchandise according to the present invention in the system for confidentially issuing and managing the delivery waybill using virtual personal information according to the embodiment of the present invention shown in  FIG. 2 . 
     The network shown in  FIG. 2  may be provided in a wired manner and/or in a wireless manner. In addition, the network may be provided in the form of any of various interfaces using broadcasting networks, such as terrestrial broadcasting, satellite broadcasting, and cable broadcasting, as well as a wired Internet, a wireless Internet, a satellite network, a wired telephone network, a wireless telephone network, and a mobile telephone network. 
     The system for confidentially issuing and managing the delivery waybill using virtual personal information according to the embodiment of the present invention is characterized in that it includes a customer terminal  100 , a confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , an online shopping mall system  300 , a primary merchandise supply company system  400 , secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems  500 , and a logistics company system  600 . 
     The customer terminal  100  accesses the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in order to provide actual personal information of the customer to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, and receives virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer from the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     The customer terminal  100  provides order information for purchasing merchandise and shipping destination information to each online shopping mall system. 
     The order information for purchasing merchandise is information about a merchandise order that does not include the actual personal information of the customer, and the shipping destination information is information about the recipient who receives the ordered merchandise. Conventionally, the actual personal information of the customer is used as the shipping destination information. In the present invention, however, the virtual personal information, received from the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, is used as the shipping destination information. 
     The virtual personal information is not the actual personal information of the customer but is information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer, received from the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     In addition, the actual personal information of the customer may be provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through a confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  in order to receive the virtual personal information, although the actual personal information of the customer is provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the customer terminal  100  in order to receive the virtual personal information, as described above. The case in which the actual personal information of the customer is provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  is the case in which the customer requests virtual personal information through the submission of a related document and, in response thereto, the actual personal information of the customer is provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270 . 
     The actual personal information of the customer, which the customer terminal or the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, is characterized in that it includes at least one of a name, telephone number, or address. 
     The virtual personal information, received through the customer terminal online or received through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  offline, may be confirmed through the customer terminal online or may be confirmed offline (for example, through the mail or a card having virtual personal information recorded therein). 
     The online shopping mall system  300  creates customer order information based on the order information, provided by the customer, and the virtual personal information. The customer order information includes at least the virtual personal information and customer order number. After creating the customer order information, the online shopping mall system provides the customer order information including the virtual personal information and the customer order number to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, and provides the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed to the primary merchandise supply company system  400 . 
     That is, the customer order information that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  receives from the online shopping mall system  300  includes no virtual personal information. 
     In addition, when providing the customer order information including the customer order number to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , the online shopping mall system  300  also provides online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company, registered at the online shopping mall system, to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     In addition, order status information may also be provided. 
     The primary merchandise supply company system  400  registers an access account (online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company) at the online shopping mall system in order to access the online shopping mall system. 
     The primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to register the online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company. 
     Upon receiving the request, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system forms relationship information between the access account and the merchandise supply company and stores the formed relationship information in a storage means thereof. 
     For example, it is assumed that the online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company system  400  registered at the online shopping mall system is A. 
     In this case, when registration is performed, the relationship information “access account A—primary merchandise supply company” is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     In addition, the primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to register the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are its subordinate merchandise supply companies, as its own access account. 
     In this case, when registration is performed, the relationship information “access account A—primary merchandise supply company, secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies” is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     That is, information about the merchandise supply company linked to information about the online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in the form of a matching table. 
     That is, the merchandise supply company information is stored and managed in the form of “access account: merchandise supply company”. 
     In the case in which the primary merchandise supply company system  400  wishes to directly supply the ordered merchandise, the primary merchandise supply company system creates shipping information based on the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, and provides the created shipping information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     In the above description, the customer order information that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  receives from the online shopping mall system includes no virtual personal information. That is, the online shopping mall system provides the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed to the primary merchandise supply company system  400 . 
     Consequently, the shipping information that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system also includes no virtual personal information. 
     Naturally, the shipping information does not include the virtual personal information of the customer but includes the customer order number. 
     The reason for this is that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  generates the shipping information based on the customer order information (information including no virtual personal information), received from the online shopping mall system, and the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, does not include the virtual personal information but includes the customer order number. 
     In addition, the shipping information may include logistics company information, an online shopping mall name, access account information, the collection due date of the ordered merchandise, the name of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of the ordered merchandise, the price of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of packaging boxes for packaging the ordered merchandise, the kind of packaging boxes, a shipping charge, and a shipping message, in addition to the customer order number. 
     The access account information is “online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company” necessary for the primary merchandise supply company system  400  to access the online shopping mall system, which is access account information that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to register. 
     In addition, the primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to output a delivery waybill in addition to the provision of the shipping information. 
     In the case in which the primary merchandise supply company does not supply the merchandise but any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are its subordinate merchandise supply companies, supplies the merchandise (in the case in which the primary merchandise supply company system requests any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are its subordinate merchandise supply companies, to supply the merchandise), the primary merchandise supply company system provides the customer order information (information including no virtual personal information), received from the online shopping mall system, to any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems  500 , which are its subordinate merchandise supply company systems. At this time, the primary merchandise supply company system creates no shipping information. 
     Any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems  500 , which acquires the customer order information (information including no virtual personal information), creates shipping information based on the acquired customer order information (information including no virtual personal information), and provides the created shipping information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     Naturally, the shipping information does not include the virtual personal information of the customer but includes the customer order number. In addition, the shipping information may include logistics company information, an online shopping mall name, access account information, the collection due date of the ordered merchandise, the name of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of the ordered merchandise, the price of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of packaging boxes for packaging the ordered merchandise, the kind of packaging boxes, a shipping charge, and a shipping message. 
     The access account information is access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, which is the superordinate merchandise supply company of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies. That is, the access account information is “online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company” necessary for the primary merchandise supply company system  400  to access the online shopping mall system, which is access account information that the primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to register. 
     In addition, any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems  500  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to output a delivery waybill in addition to the provision of the shipping information. 
     The logistics company system  600  provides logistics delivery information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. The logistics delivery information may include a collection point code, a collection point name, a collection date, a destination terminal code, a destination terminal name, and a delivery waybill number, which are provided by each logistics company and are necessary to output a delivery waybill. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  may receive the actual personal information of the customer through the customer terminal, or may receive the actual personal information of the customer through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270 . 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates virtual personal information corresponding to the received actual personal information of the customer. 
     The actual personal information of the customer, which the customer terminal or the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, is characterized in that it includes at least one of a name, telephone number, or address. 
     The created virtual personal information, which is a value that is arbitrarily created by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , means virtual information having numbers, letters, or a combination of numbers and letters, rather than the actual personal information of the customer. 
     For example, the virtual personal information may be “1234”, “our home”, or “KCB1234”. 
     In addition, when receiving the actual personal information of the customer through the customer terminal  100  or through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270 , in the case in which the customer provides a specific value to be used as the virtual personal information, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates the specific value, provided by the customer, as the virtual personal information. 
     For example, in the case in which actual address information, included in the actual personal information of the customer, is “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, and in the case in which the specific value “Cheongwadae” is input at the time of providing the actual personal information in order to use “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information corresponding thereto, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system creates “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information corresponding to the actual address information of the customer. 
     The created virtual personal information is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system together with the actual personal information of the customer in the form of a matching table. 
     For example, the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer are stored and managed in the form of a matching table, like “Cheongwadae—1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  is requested to register an online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company from the primary merchandise supply company system, and is requested to register the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are the subordinate merchandise supply companies of the primary merchandise supply company system, as the access account of the primary merchandise supply company from the primary merchandise supply company system. 
     Upon receiving the request, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  forms and stores the relationship information between the access account and the merchandise supply company. 
     For example, it is assumed that the online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company system  400  registered at the online shopping mall system is A. 
     In this case, when the registration is performed, the relationship information “A —primary merchandise supply company, secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies” is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     The stored relationship information between the access account and the merchandise supply company is used as confirmation information necessary to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information, a description of which will follow. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  may receive the customer order information and the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system registered at the online shopping mall system from the online shopping mall system, and may also receive order status information from the online shopping mall system. 
     The customer order information, which the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  receives from the online shopping mall system, includes at least the virtual personal information and the customer order number. 
     That is, the online shopping mall system provides the customer order information including the virtual personal information and the customer order number to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , and provides the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed to the primary merchandise supply company system  400 . 
     The access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order information including the virtual personal information and the customer order number, and the order status information, which are received by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , are stored and managed in the storage means of the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     The access account information is access account information registered at the online shopping mall system in order for the primary merchandise supply company system to access the online shopping mall system, and the customer order information is information created by the online shopping mall system according to the order of the customer, and includes the virtual personal information and the customer order number. The customer order number is information included in the customer order information created according to the order of the customer, and is the number that the online shopping mall system gives for each order for the purpose of managing merchandise orders. The order status information is information indicating whether the order is a normal order, a return order, an exchange order, or a cancel order. 
     Upon receiving the request for outputting the delivery waybill from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems), the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order number, and the order status information in order to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information. In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system may confirm collection information. 
     When at least one of the case in which the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system is not confirmed, the case in which the customer order number is not confirmed, the case in which the order status information indicates a cancel order, or the case in which collection information exists occurs, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     First, the process of confirming the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms whether the access account of the primary merchandise supply company system (which is the account necessary to access the online shopping mall system), received from the online shopping mall system, is the access account stored in the storage means. 
     At the time of receiving the request for registering the access account information from the primary merchandise supply company system, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  receives the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system in advance, and stores and manages the access account information in the storage means. 
     Subsequently, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system confirms whether the access account information received from the online shopping mall system is the access account information stored and managed in the storage means thereof. 
     The reason for this is that this is necessary to confirm whether the merchandise supply company requesting to output the delivery waybill is a normal merchandise supply company system. That is, the reason for this is that, in the case in which the merchandise supply company requesting to output the delivery waybill is a normal merchandise supply company system, the same access account as the access account registered at the online shopping mall must be provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     In the case in which the same access account is not confirmed, the merchandise supply company requesting to output the delivery waybill is determined to be an abnormal merchandise supply company system, and the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     Next, the process of confirming the customer order number will be described. 
     The customer order number is extracted from the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems), and the extracted customer order number is compared with the customer order numbers stored in the storage means in order to confirm whether the same customer order number exists. 
     In this case, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  receives the customer order information including the customer order number from the online shopping mall system in advance (see S 1008  in  FIG. 3 ), and stores and manages the received customer order information in the storage means. 
     That is, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system confirms whether the customer order number included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, is the same as the customer order number extracted from the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems). 
     In the case in which the same customer order number is not confirmed, the merchandise order is determined to be an abnormal merchandise order, and the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     That is, even in the case in which the same access account information is confirmed and the normal merchandise supply company requests to output the delivery waybill, if the same customer order number is not confirmed, the delivery waybill is requested to be output based on an abnormal merchandise order, and therefore the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     Next, the process of confirming the order status information will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms whether the order status information, received from the online shopping mall system, indicates a cancel order. The reason for this is that the delivery waybill output information must be created in the case of a normal order, a return order, or an exchange order and that the delivery waybill output information does not need to be created in the case of a cancel order. 
     That is, upon confirming that the order status information is a normal order, a return order, or an exchange order, the delivery waybill output information is created, and upon confirming that the order status information indicates a cancel order, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     Next, the process of confirming the collection information will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms whether the collection information received from the logistics company system exists. The reason for this is that, in the case in which collection information exists, which means that shipping has already been performed, it is not necessary to create delivery waybill output information. 
     When the same access account of the primary merchandise supply company system and the customer order number are confirmed, the order is confirmed not to be a cancel order, the collection information is confirmed not to exist, and the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates the delivery waybill output information for the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested. 
     To this end, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms the virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested. The confidential delivery waybill issuing system extracts the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the confirmed virtual personal information from the storage means, and combines the extracted actual personal information of the customer, the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, acquired from the logistics company system in order to create delivery waybill output information. 
     First, the process of confirming the virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested will be described. 
     The customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system  300  at step S 1008  in  FIG. 3 , includes the virtual personal information and the customer order number. 
     The shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, also includes the customer order number. 
     In the case in which the customer order number received from the online shopping mall system  300  and the customer order number included in the shipping information are the same, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  determines that the customer order number is a normal customer order number, and confirms the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system  300 , to be the virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested. 
     Next, the process of extracting the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the confirmed virtual personal information from the storage means will be described in detail. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system stores and manages, in the storage means, matching table information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer matched with each other in the form of a matching table, and the actual personal information of the customer is extracted and acquired from the matching table information (the information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer that are matched with each other) stored in the storage means. 
     For example, in the case in which the storage means stores and manages the matching table information “Cheongwadae—1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea” and the virtual personal information included in the customer order information is “Cheongwadae”, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system extracts “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, which is the actual personal information matched with “Cheongwadae”, so as to be used to create delivery waybill output information. 
     Consequently, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system uses a combination of the actual personal information of the customer, extracted and acquired using the matching table information (the information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer that are matched with each other in the form of a matching table) stored in the storage means, the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system, in order to create delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer. 
     The created delivery waybill output information is directly transmitted to an output unit of the merchandise supply company system requesting to output the delivery waybill (the primary merchandise supply company system or the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) so as to be output, whereby the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer is neither stored nor managed in the merchandise supply company system. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates shipping request information using the delivery waybill output information. The created shipping request information is provided to a relevant logistics company system. 
     Here, the relevant logistics company system means a logistics company for shipping the ordered merchandise. The relevant logistics company system may be known from the logistics company information included in the delivery waybill output information. Described specifically, the delivery waybill output information is created by combining the shipping information, the logistics delivery information, and the actual personal information of the customer. Since the logistics company information is included in the shipping information, it is possible to obtain the relevant logistics company system information from the delivery waybill output information. 
     In addition, the provision of the shipping request information to the relevant logistics company system means the request for shipping the ordered merchandise. 
     Upon receiving the shipping request information, the logistics company system  600  provides collection information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 . The collection information is information indicating whether the ordered merchandise has been collected. 
     The collection information, which the logistics company system  600  provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , is utilized as basic information necessary to determine whether to create the delivery waybill output information described above. 
     As is apparent from the above description, the actual personal information of the customer is stored and managed only in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, and is neither stored nor managed in the online shopping mall system or in the merchandise supply company system. Consequently, it is possible to solve the conventional problem in which the actual personal information of the customer is stored and managed in the online shopping mall system and in the merchandise supply company system in order to output the delivery waybill, which leads to the leakage of the actual personal information of the customer. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  determines whether to create the delivery waybill output information using the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order number, and the order status information, received from the online shopping mall system, whereby it is possible to prevent illegal issuance of the delivery waybill output information. 
       FIG. 3  is a flowchart generally showing a method of confidentially issuing and managing a delivery waybill using virtual personal information.

     In addition, at step S 1008 , order status information may be further provided. 
     In this case, the information confirming step (S 1014 ) may further include a process of confirming whether the order status information indicates a cancel order. Upon confirming that the customer order number exists, the same access account exists, and the order status information does not indicate a cancel order, the actual personal information of the customer is extracted from the storage means at the step of creating the delivery waybill output information (S 1015 ).  188 [ ] In addition, the information confirming step (S 1014 ) may further include a process of confirming whether collection information exists. In this case, upon confirming that the customer order number exists, the same access account exists, the order status information does not indicate a cancel order, and no collection information exists, the actual personal information of the customer is extracted from the storage means at the step of creating the delivery waybill output information (S 1015 ). 
     The method of confidentially issuing and managing the delivery waybill according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to  FIG. 3 . 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system may be connected to at least one of the customer terminal, the online shopping mall system, the merchandise supply company system, or the logistics company system via an electron data interchange interface (EDI). 
     In this specification, “online shopping” means customer activities of purchasing merchandise online. 
     The online shopping may be, for example, Internet shopping, in which customers visit shopping malls established over the Internet using customer terminals, such as computers, in order to purchase merchandise, or home shopping, in which customers purchase merchandise through home shopping broadcasts. The online shopping may also be referred to as Internet shopping, home shopping, cyber shopping, electronic commerce, etc. 
     First, the customer terminal accesses the confidential delivery waybill issuing system over a network, and provides actual personal information of a customer to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system (S 1001 ). 
     The customer terminal may be a personal computer, a PDA, a laptop computer, a tablet device, a general telephone, a mobile phone, a smartphone, or a smart TV, which the customer possesses, any of various information processing devices that are capable of transmitting and receiving images, text, data, information, etc. over a network, or other portable devices. 
     As described above, the actual personal information of the customer is provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the customer terminal  100  online. Alternatively, the actual personal information of the customer may be provided offline. The case in which the actual personal information of the customer is provided offline means the case in which the customer requests virtual personal information through the submission of a related document and, in response thereto, the actual personal information of the customer is provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270 . 
     The actual personal information of the customer, which the customer terminal or the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, is characterized in that it includes at least one of a name, telephone number, or address. 
     The virtual personal information, received as the result of providing the actual personal information of the customer to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the customer terminal  100  online or as the result of providing the actual personal information of the customer to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270  offline, may be confirmed through the customer terminal online or may be confirmed offline (for example, through the mail or a card having virtual personal information recorded therein). 
     Upon receiving the actual personal information of the customer, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer, the virtual personal information not being actual personal information (S 1002 ). 
     For example, in the case in which actual address information, included in the actual personal information of the customer, is “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, the virtual personal information created by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system may be “1234”, “7777”, “kkk”, “ggg”, “kk1234”, etc. The virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer, created by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, as described above, may be information having numbers, letters, or a combination of numbers and letters. 
     In addition, the virtual personal information may be arbitrarily created by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. Alternatively, the virtual personal information may be created using information desired by the customer. To this end, when providing the actual personal information of the customer to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, the customer may provide a specific value to be used as the virtual personal information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     For example, in the case in which the actual address information is “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, and in the case in which the specific value “Cheongwadae” is input at the time of providing the actual personal information in order to use “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information in response thereto, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system creates “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information corresponding to the actual address information of the customer. 
     In the above description, the address was used as the virtual personal information by way of example. Alternatively, the name or the telephone number of the customer may be used as the virtual personal information. In the case in which the name or the telephone number of the customer is used as the virtual personal information, the customer provides his/her virtual personal information (name or telephone number) to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system and receives virtual personal information corresponding thereto from the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, in the same manner as in the case of the address. 
     The created virtual personal information is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system together with the actual personal information of the customer in the form of a matching table. 
     For example, matching information is stored and managed in the form of a matching table, like actual personal information (“Cheongwadae—1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”)—virtual personal information (“Cheongwadae”) and actual personal information (“010-6606-****”)—virtual personal information (“7777”). 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system may provide all or some of the matching information about the actual personal information of the customer and the virtual personal information, matched with each other, to the online shopping mall system. 
     In the above description, the actual personal information of the customer may be at least one of a name, telephone number, or address. 
     In addition, the customer terminal may confirm the created virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system (S 1003 ). 
     The primary merchandise supply company system  400  registers and uses an access account in order to access the online shopping mall system. 
     The primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to register the online shopping mall access account thereof, which has been registered at the online shopping mall system (S 1004 ). 
     In addition, the primary merchandise supply company system  400  requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  to register secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are subordinate merchandise supply companies thereof, as the online shopping mall access account thereof (S 1005 ). 
     Upon receiving the request from the primary merchandise supply company system  400 , the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  forms and stores relationship information between the access account and the merchandise supply company. 
     For example, it is assumed that the online shopping mall access account of the primary merchandise supply company system  400  registered at the online shopping mall system is A. 
     In this case, when registration is performed, the relationship information “A —primary merchandise supply company, secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies” is stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     The stored relationship information between the access account and the merchandise supply company is used as confirmation information necessary to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information, a description of which will follow. 
     That is, the registered access account information and the merchandise supply company are stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in the form of a matching table. That is, the registered access account information and the merchandise supply company are stored and managed in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in the form “access account—merchandise supply company”. 
     The customer terminal  100  accesses the online shopping mall system in order to provide order information about merchandise that the customer wishes to purchase and the virtual personal information, which is used as shipping destination information, to the online shopping mall system (S 1006 ). 
     The order information is information about a merchandise order that does not include the personal information of the customer, and the virtual personal information is virtual information that is provided by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. The virtual personal information is not the actual personal information of the customer, and is used at the time of inputting shipping destination (recipient) information. 
     That is, the customer terminal provides the order information about the merchandise and the virtual personal information, received from the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, the virtual personal information being used as the shipping destination information, to the online shopping mall system. In this case, only the order information of the customer and the virtual personal information are stored in the online shopping mall system, which receives the order about the merchandise, but the actual personal information of the recipient is not stored in the online shopping mall system, whereby it is possible to fundamentally prevent the leakage of the actual personal information of the customer as the result of hacking the online shopping mall. 
     In addition, virtual personal information, rather than actual personal information, may be provided as orderer information, which is provided together with the order information about the merchandise. 
     The online shopping mall system creates customer order information based on the order information, received from the customer terminal  100 , and the virtual personal information (S 1007 ). 
     The created customer order information includes a customer order number and the virtual personal information. 
     Here, the “customer order number” means management number created by the online shopping mall system in order to manage the order when the order is completed. 
     The online shopping mall system provides the customer order information including the customer order number and the virtual personal information and access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system registered at the online shopping mall system to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system (S 1008 ). 
     At this time, the online shopping mall system may further provide order status information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system. 
     Here, the online shopping mall system may transmit the customer order information, the access account information, and the order status information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system over an online network or via facsimile, e-mail, message, or wired or wireless telephone. 
     The access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order information, and the order status information, which are received by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 , are stored and managed in the storage means, which is provided in the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200 . 
     The access account information is access account information registered at the online shopping mall system in order for the primary merchandise supply company system to access the online shopping mall system, and the customer order information is information created by the online shopping mall system according to the order of the customer, and includes the customer order number and the virtual personal information. The order status information is information indicating whether the order is a normal order, a return order, an exchange order, or a cancel order. 
     In addition, the online shopping mall system provides the created customer order information with the virtual personal information removed to the primary merchandise supply company system (S 1009 ). 
     Here, the online shopping mall system may transmit the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed to the primary merchandise supply company system via facsimile, e-mail, message, or wired or wireless telephone, or over an online network. The primary merchandise supply company system may access the online shopping mall system in order to download the customer order information. 
     Since the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed, provided to the primary merchandise supply company system, includes neither the virtual personal information nor the actual personal information of the customer (recipient), the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer do not exist in the primary merchandise supply company system. Consequently, it is possible to fundamentally prevent the leakage of the actual personal information of the customer (recipient) as the result of hacking the primary merchandise supply company system. 
     In the case in which the primary merchandise supply company does not supply the merchandise but any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply companies, which are its subordinate merchandise supply companies, supplies the merchandise, the primary merchandise supply company system provides the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed, received from the online shopping mall system, to any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems (S 1009 - 1 ). 
     Upon receiving the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed, the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) creates shipping information based on the acquired customer order information (information including no virtual personal information) (S 1010 , S 1010 - 1 ), and the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) accesses the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in order to provide the created shipping information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system (S 1011 , S 1011 - 1 ). 
     Since the shipping information is created using the customer order information with the virtual personal information removed, provided by the online shopping mall system, the shipping information does not include the virtual personal information or the actual personal information of the customer but includes the customer order number. 
     In addition, the shipping information may include logistics company information, an online shopping mall name, access account information, the collection due date of the ordered merchandise, the name of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of the ordered merchandise, the price of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of packaging boxes for packaging the ordered merchandise, the kind of packaging boxes, a shipping charge, and a shipping message. 
     The access account information included in the shipping information is “online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company” necessary for the primary merchandise supply company system  400  to access the online shopping mall system. 
     In addition, the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) requests the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to output a delivery waybill necessary for shipping in response to the created shipping information (S 1012 , S 1012 - 1 ). 
     Since the shipping information, which the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) provides to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, includes neither the virtual personal information nor the actual personal information of the customer (recipient), it is not possible to ship the merchandise to the destination desired by the customer using only the shipping information. Consequently, it is necessary to perform a procedure of displaying the actual personal information of the customer (recipient) on the delivery waybill. This procedure will be described in detail in the process of creating delivery waybill output information, a description of which will follow. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  receives logistics delivery information from the logistics company system (S 1013 ). 
     The logistics delivery information may include a collection point code, a collection point name, a collection date, a destination terminal code, a destination terminal name, and a delivery waybill number, which are provided by each logistics company and are necessary to output the delivery waybill. 
     Upon receiving the request for outputting the delivery waybill from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems), the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system and the customer order number in order to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information. In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system may confirm collection information (S 1014 ). 
     At this time, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  may also confirm the order status information in order to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information, in addition to the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system and the customer order number. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  may also confirm the collection information in order to determine whether to create delivery waybill output information, in addition to the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order number, and the order status information. 
     When at least one of the case in which the same online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system is not confirmed, the case in which the same customer order number is not confirmed, the case in which the order status information indicates a cancel order, or the case in which collection information exists occurs, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     First, the process of confirming the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system confirms whether the access account of the primary merchandise supply company system (received at step S 1008  in  FIG. 3 ), received from the online shopping mall system, is the access account stored in the storage means. 
     The primary merchandise supply company system registers the online shopping mall system access account information thereof at the confidential delivery waybill issuing system in advance (see S 1004  in  FIG. 3 ), and then the confidential delivery waybill issuing system stores and manages the access account information in the storage means. The reason for this is that it is necessary for the confidential delivery waybill issuing system to confirm whether the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, received from the online shopping mall system, is the same as the access account information stored and managed in the storage means thereof. 
     The reason for this is that this is necessary to confirm whether the primary merchandise supply company system is a normal merchandise supply company system. That is, the reason for this is that, in the case in which the primary merchandise supply company system is a normal merchandise supply company system, the same access account as the access account registered at the online shopping mall must be provided to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system at step S 1004  in  FIG. 3 . 
     In the case in which the same online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company is not confirmed, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     Next, the process of confirming the customer order number will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  extracts the customer order number from the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems), and compares the extracted customer order number with the customer order numbers stored in the storage means in order to confirm whether the same customer order number exists. 
     In this case, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  receives the customer order information including the customer order number from the online shopping mall system in advance (see S 1008  in  FIG. 3 ), and stores and manages the received customer order information in the storage means. 
     That is, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system confirms whether the customer order number included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, is the same as the customer order number extracted from the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems). 
     In the case in which the same customer order number is not confirmed, the merchandise order is determined to be an abnormal merchandise order, and the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     That is, even in the case in which the same access account information described above is confirmed and the normal merchandise supply company requests to output the delivery waybill, if the same customer order number is not confirmed, the delivery waybill is requested to be output based on an abnormal merchandise order, and therefore the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     The process of confirming the order status information will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms whether the order status information, received from the online shopping mall system, indicates a cancel order. The order status information may indicate a normal order, a return order, or an exchange order, in addition to the cancel order. 
     The reason for this is that the delivery waybill output information must be created in the case of a normal order, a return order, or an exchange order and that the delivery waybill output information does not need to be created in the case of a cancel order. 
     That is, upon confirming that the order status information is a normal order, a return order, or an exchange order, the delivery waybill output information is created, and upon confirming that the order status information indicates a cancel order, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     Consequently, when at least one of the case in which the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system is not confirmed, the case in which the customer order number is not confirmed, or the case in which the order status information indicates a cancel order occurs, the delivery waybill output information is not created. 
     That is, the case in which the access account of the primary merchandise supply company system is not confirmed is the case in which an unqualified merchandise supply company requested to output a delivery waybill, the case in which the customer order number is not confirmed is the case in which no customer ordered merchandise through the online shopping mall, and the case in which the order status information indicates a cancel order is the case in which no delivery waybill output information for shipping is necessary, whereby the delivery waybill output information needs not be created. 
     The process of confirming the collection information will be described. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms whether the collection information received from the logistics company system exists. The reason for this is that, in the case in which the collection information exists, which means that shipping has already been performed, it is not necessary to create delivery waybill output information. 
     The reason for confirming the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order number, the order status information, and the collection information before creating the delivery waybill output information, as described above, is that it is necessary to prevent illegal issuance of a delivery waybill, whereby it is possible to confidentially issue and manage a delivery waybill in a safer and more efficient manner. 
     When the same access account of the primary merchandise supply company system and the customer order number are confirmed, the order is confirmed not to be a cancel order, and the collection information is confirmed not to exist, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates delivery waybill output information for the merchandise order requested to output a delivery waybill (S 1015 ). 
     The process of the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creating the delivery waybill output information will be described in detail. 
     First, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  confirms virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested. The confidential delivery waybill issuing system extracts the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the confirmed virtual personal information from the storage means, and combines the extracted actual personal information of the customer, the shipping information, acquired from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, acquired from the logistics company system in order to create delivery waybill output information. 
     First, the process of confirming the virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested will be described. 
     The customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system  300  at step S 1008  in  FIG. 3 , includes the virtual personal information and the customer order number. 
     The shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems), also includes the customer order number. 
     In the case in which the customer order number received from the online shopping mall system  300  and the customer order number included in the shipping information are the same, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  determines that the customer order number is a normal customer order number, and confirms the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system  300 , to be the virtual personal information related to the merchandise order for which output of the delivery waybill is requested. 
     The process of extracting the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the virtual personal information from the storage means will be described in detail. 
     The confidential delivery waybill issuing system stores and manages, in the storage means, matching table information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer matched with each other in the form of a matching table, and the actual personal information of the customer is extracted and acquired from the matching table information (the information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer that are matched with each other) stored in the storage means. 
     For example, in the case in which the storage means stores and manages the matching table information “Cheongwadae—1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea” and the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, is “Cheongwadae”, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system extracts “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, which is the actual personal information matched with “Cheongwadae”, so as to be used to create delivery waybill output information. 
     Consequently, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system uses a combination of the actual personal information of the customer, extracted and acquired using the matching table information (the information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer that are matched with each other in the form of a matching table) stored in the storage means, the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system, in order to create delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer (S 1013 ). 
     The created delivery waybill output information is directly transmitted to an output unit of the merchandise supply company system requesting to output the delivery waybill (the primary merchandise supply company system or any one of the secondary to Nth-order merchandise supply company systems) (S 1016 ). The delivery waybill output information is automatically deleted immediately after being output, whereby the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer is neither stored nor managed in the merchandise supply company system. 
     Here, it should be noted that the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer is transmitted to an output unit of the merchandise supply company system, which is connected to an output device, such as a display monitor or a printer. 
     In the present invention, therefore, the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer is transmitted to the output unit of the merchandise supply company system, is immediately output, and is automatically deleted. Consequently, it is not possible for the merchandise supply company to arbitrarily store and manage the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer in the system thereof. 
     That is, the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer, created by the confidential delivery waybill issuing system, is neither stored nor managed in the merchandise supply company system, but is directly transmitted to the output unit of the merchandise supply company system so as to be simply output through the output device (for example, a display motor or a printer), whereby the delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the customer is neither stored nor managed in the merchandise supply company system. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the leakage of the actual personal information of the customer, which may occur in the case in which the actual personal information of the customer is stored and managed in the merchandise supply company system. 
     Subsequently, the merchandise supply company attaches the delivery waybill, output in the form of a document, on the ordered merchandise, and the logistics company delivers the merchandise, received from the merchandise supply company, to the customer. 
     In another embodiment, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system may transmit the delivery waybill output information with the actual personal information of the customer removed to the output unit of the merchandise supply company system, and may transmit the actual personal information of the customer to a logistics worker terminal in response to the request of the logistics worker terminal. 
     In order to improve safety, the actual personal information of the customer or the transmission section thereof may be encoded when transmitting the delivery waybill output information, whereby it is possible to prevent hacking actual personal information of the customer. 
     In addition, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  creates shipping request information using the delivery waybill output information (S 1017 ). The created shipping request information is provided to a relevant logistics company system (S 1018 ). 
     Here, the relevant logistics company system means a logistics company for shipping the ordered merchandise. The relevant logistics company system may be known from the logistics company information included in the delivery waybill output information. Described specifically, the delivery waybill output information is created by combining the shipping information, the logistics delivery information, and the actual personal information of the customer. Since the logistics company information is included in the shipping information, it is possible to obtain the relevant logistics company system information from the delivery waybill output information. 
     In addition, the provision of the shipping request information to the relevant logistics company system means the request for shipping the ordered merchandise. 
     Upon receiving the shipping request information, the logistics company system  600  provides collection information to the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  (S 1019 ). The collection information is information indicating whether the ordered merchandise has been collected. 
     Subsequently, the logistics company delivers the collected ordered merchandise. 
     The method of confidentially issuing and managing the delivery waybill using the virtual personal information according to the embodiment of the present invention described above may be programmed so as to be executed in an electronic device, such as a computer. 
       FIG. 4  is a view showing a confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  using virtual personal information according to an embodiment of the present invention. A confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to  FIG. 4 . 
     As shown in  FIG. 4 , the confidential delivery waybill issuing system  200  using the virtual personal information according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes: 
     an input unit  210  for allowing the input of actual personal information of a customer; 
     a reception unit  220  for receiving access account information of a primary merchandise supply company system, customer order information, and order status information from an online shopping mall system, receiving access account information and shipping information from a merchandise supply company system, and receiving logistics delivery information from a logistics company system; 
     a storage unit  230  for storing the actual personal information of the customer, received from a customer terminal, virtual personal information, created by a virtual personal information creation unit, the access account information and the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order information, and the order status information, received from the online shopping mall system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system; 
     the virtual personal information creation unit  240  for creating the virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer; 
     a central processing unit  250  for confirming whether the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, received from the online shopping mall system, exists in the storage unit  230 , whether a customer order number included in the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, exists in the storage unit  230 , and whether the order status information indicates a cancel order, and upon confirming that the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system exists, that the customer order number exists, and that the order status information does not indicate a cancel order, extracting the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, and combining the extracted actual personal information of the customer, the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system, to create delivery waybill output information; and 
     a transmission unit  260  for transmitting the delivery waybill output information to an output unit of a merchandise supply company system requesting to output a delivery waybill. 
     The input unit  210  allows the input of the actual personal information of the customer, including at least one of a name, telephone number, or address of the customer, through the customer terminal  100  or through the confidential delivery waybill issuing system terminal  270 . 
     The reception unit  220  receives the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order information, and the order status information from an online shopping mall system, receives the access account information and the shipping information from the merchandise supply company system, and receives the logistics delivery information from the logistics company system. 
     The logistics delivery information includes a collection point code, a collection point name, a collection date, a destination terminal code, and a destination terminal name. 
     The shipping information includes neither the actual personal information of the customer nor the virtual personal information. The shipping information includes a customer order number, received from the online shopping mall system. In addition, the shipping information may include logistics company information, an online shopping mall name, the account of the merchandise supply company system registered by the merchandise supply company, the collection due date of the ordered merchandise, the name of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of the ordered merchandise, the price of the ordered merchandise, the quantity of packaging boxes for packaging the ordered merchandise, the kind of packaging boxes, a shipping charge, and a shipping message. 
     The reception unit  220  may further receive collection information from the logistics company system. 
     The storage unit  230  stores the actual personal information of the customer, received from the customer terminal, the virtual personal information, created by the virtual personal information creation unit, the access account information that the merchandise supply company system requests to register, the shipping information, the access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, the customer order information, and the order status information, received from the online shopping mall system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system. In particular, the actual personal information of the customer and the virtual personal information are stored and managed in the form of a matching table. 
     In addition, the storage unit  230  may further store and manage the collection information, received from the logistics company system. 
     The virtual personal information creation unit  240  creates the virtual personal information corresponding to the actual personal information of the customer, received from the customer terminal. The created virtual personal information, which is a value that is arbitrarily created by the virtual personal information creation unit, may be information having numbers, letters, or a combination of numbers and letters, rather than the actual personal information of the customer. 
     Also, in the case in which the customer terminal inputs a specific value to be used as the virtual personal information together with the actual personal information of the customer, the virtual personal information creation unit creates the specific value, input by the customer terminal, as the virtual personal information. 
     For example, in the case in which actual address information, included in the actual personal information of the customer, is “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, and in the case in which the specific value “Cheongwadae” is input at the time of providing the actual personal information in order to use “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information corresponding thereto, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system creates “Cheongwadae” as the virtual personal information corresponding to the actual address information of the customer. 
     The central processing unit  250  confirms whether the online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system, received from the online shopping mall system, exists in the storage unit  230 , whether the customer order number included in the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, exists in the storage unit  230 , and whether the order status information indicates a cancel order, and upon confirming that the same online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system exists, that the customer order number exists, and that the order status information does not indicate a cancel order, extracts the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, and combines the extracted actual personal information of the customer, the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system, to create delivery waybill output information. 
     At this time, the process of extracting the actual personal information of the customer (recipient) is as follows. 
     Since the storage unit of the confidential delivery waybill issuing system stores matching table information including the virtual personal information and the actual personal information of the customer matched with each other, the actual personal information of the customer matched with the virtual personal information included in the customer order information, received from the online shopping mall system, is extracted from the storage unit and created. 
     For example, in the case in which the storage unit stores and manages the matching table information “Cheongwadae—1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea” and the virtual personal information included in the customer order information is “Cheongwadae”, the confidential delivery waybill issuing system extracts “1 Cheongwadae-ro, Jongno-gu, Seoul, Korea”, which is the actual personal information matched with “Cheongwadae”, so as to be used to create delivery waybill output information. 
     Consequently, the central processing unit uses a combination of the actual personal information of the customer, extracted from the matching table information stored in the storage unit, the shipping information, received from the merchandise supply company system, and the logistics delivery information, received from the logistics company system, in order to create delivery waybill output information including the actual personal information of the recipient. 
     The central processing unit  250  may further confirm whether collection information exists. In this case, upon confirming that the same online shopping mall access account information of the primary merchandise supply company system exists, the customer order number exists, the order status information does not indicate a cancel order, and no collection information exists, the central processing unit  250  extracts the actual personal information of the customer corresponding to the virtual personal information included in the shipping information. 
     The transmission unit  260  transmits the delivery waybill output information, created by the central processing unit, to the output unit of the merchandise supply company system requesting to output the delivery waybill. 
     Here, it should be noted that the transmission unit directly transmits the delivery waybill output information to the output unit of the merchandise supply company system. 
     In this case, the delivery waybill output information including the personal information is neither stored nor managed in the merchandise supply company system but is simply output to paper or a monitor. Consequently, it is possible to prevent the leakage of the actual personal information of the customer as the result of hacking actual personal information of the customer, which may occur in the case in which the delivery waybill output information is stored and managed in the merchandise supply company system. 
     Subsequently, the merchandise supply company attaches the delivery waybill output in the form of paper to the ordered merchandise, and then the logistics company delivers the ordered merchandise to the customer. 
     The embodiments of the present invention described above may be implemented through a system and a method, and may also be implemented through a computer program that is capable of realizing functions corresponding to the components of the embodiments of the present invention or a recording medium having the computer program recorded therein. 
     The present invention has been shown and described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments thereof. However, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that improvements and/or modifications may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined in the appended claims and their equivalents. 
     INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY 
     According to the present invention, an online shopping customer does not need to input actual personal information as customer information in every online shopping mall providing merchandise that the customer wishes to purchase or for every order, and is capable of ordering and receiving the merchandise using simple virtual personal information, whereby very convenient online shopping is possible.
