notice processing code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to issue an inquiry notice of receivability of the article to a recipient of the article in a case where the authentication result of the article is authentication failure; and

receivability information reception code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to receive receivability information indicating the receivability selected by the recipient in response to the inquiry notice from a terminal of the recipient,

wherein the opening/closing control code causes at least one of the at least one processor to perform the opening/closing control of the second carry-in port on the basis of the receivability information received by the receivability information reception code.

8. The delivery system according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a sensor configured to obtain information used for authenticating the article from the article delivered to the delivery destination by the unmanned mobile vehicle; and

the program code further including

order information management code configured to cause at least one of the at least one processor to manage order information of the article ordered for purchase,

wherein the authenticating processing code causes at least one of the at least one processor to perform the process of authenticating the article using the information obtained by the sensor and the order information managed by the order information management code.

9. The delivery system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first carry-in port is provided at a boundary between an outside and an inside of a building or at a boundary between an outside and an inside of a room in the building, and serves as an opening enabling access from the outside to the inside.

10. The delivery system according to claim 1 ,

wherein the delivery destination is at least any one of housing, an office, each section of collective housing, and each guest room of an accommodation facility.

11. A delivery method executed by a delivery system including an unmanned mobile vehicle that delivers an article to a delivery destination, the delivery method including:

performing a process of authenticating at least any one of the unmanned mobile vehicle and the article delivered by the unmanned mobile vehicle in a case where the unmanned mobile vehicle arrives at the delivery destination, wherein the process of authenticating the unmanned mobile vehicle is performed as a first authentication step; and

performing opening/closing control of a first carry-in port from which the article is carried in at the delivery destination on the basis of an authentication result of the unmanned mobile vehicle or the article,

performing carrying-in control of carrying the article in from the first carry-in port opened by the opening/closing control on the basis of the authentication result of the unmanned mobile vehicle,
