In addition, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, the price of food 1B is set low (specifically, the list price of 1,000 yen is set to 100 yen), and the consumption of food 1A is Consumers can purchase food 1B, which is the same food as food 1A, at a good price, which can stimulate the consumer's desire to purchase.

By the way, even if food 1B is sold separately at a low price (for example, food 1B is sold for 100 yen regardless of food 1A), a certain number of sales can be expected.
However, for those who wish to purchase Food 1A (consumers), the food they want to obtain (purchase) is Food 1A, so even if Food 1B is sold alone, it will not be able to meet consumers' expectations. Furthermore, for food providers (sellers of food 1A and food 1B), even if food 1B is sold alone, it will not contribute to sales expansion, and continued sales may become difficult.
Therefore, in an example of a food product according to the present embodiment, by integrating food 1A and food 1B, it not only meets the needs of consumers who want to obtain (purchase) food 1A, but also increases the sales of food providers. We have achieved expansion and also reduced food loss by providing food 1B to consumers.

In addition, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, both the price of food 1B (100 yen) and the list price (1,000 yen) are written on the sticker 3, indicating that the price of food 1B is cheap (compared to the list price). 1/10 of the price). By informing consumers that the price of food 1B is set at a low price, it is possible to stimulate consumers' desire to purchase, and further reduction of food waste can be expected.

[Modification 1]
In the above-described first embodiment, the case where food 1B is charged (100 yen) is explained as an example, but food loss can be reduced by providing food 1B together with food 1A. Food 1B does not necessarily need to be charged and may be provided free of charge (0 yen).

[Modification 2]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the explanation is given by taking as an example a case where the sticker 3 includes "price of food product A", "details of food product 1A", and "details of food product 1B". However, it is sufficient if such information (information written on sticker 3) is conveyed to consumers, and it is not necessarily necessary to write the information itself on sticker 3. As shown in Figure 1 (c), it is sufficient to convey the information to consumers. Identification information 4 (for example, a two-dimensional barcode, etc.) may be displayed.
In addition, a URL is recorded in the identification information (two-dimensional barcode, etc.), and by reading the identification information with a mobile terminal etc., you can check the "price of food product A", "details of food 1A", "food 1B" through the Internet. You can access the website with details.

[Modification 3]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the description is given by taking as an example a case where the sticker 3 includes "price of food product A", "details of food product 1A", and "details of food product 1B". However, it is sufficient if such information (the information written on sticker 3) is conveyed to consumers, and it is not necessarily necessary to write it on sticker 3. After conveying the information to consumers in various ways, it is sufficient to affix sticker 3. You may also provide food product A that is not

[Modification 4]
Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the case where food 1A and food 1B are the same food is given as an example. It is sufficient if the food can arouse the consumer's desire to purchase by feeling it, and Food 1B does not necessarily have to be the same food as Food 1A, but may be "the same kind of food" or "a different food". It may be.

Here, "foods of the same kind" means a relationship in which food products "can be regarded as the same food". For example, cream bread and jam bread have in common that they are sweet breads, but they are not the same type of food because they are different types of sweet breads. Note that even if cream breads have different colors of cream, they are not the same type of food. In other words, the different colors in appearance do not mean that the food is of the same type and type. Furthermore, even if red wine and white wine are produced using the same farming method and from the same farm, they cannot be considered to be the same type of food because they cannot be considered the same as food.

[Modification 5]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the explanation is given using the case where the food 1A and the food 1B are secondary products, but the food 1A and the food 1B do not necessarily have to be secondary products. It may also be a primary product.

[Modification 6]
In the first embodiment described above, the "details of food 1B" include the price of food 1B (displayed as "price: 100 yen") and the list price of food 1B (displayed as "list price: 1,000 yen"). ) to inform the consumer that the selling price is 1/10, but it may also be displayed that the actual selling price is 1/10.
For example, as "Details of food 1B", the price of food 1B (displayed as "real price: 100 yen (points equivalent to 900 yen given)"), the list price of food 1B (displayed as "list price: 1,000 yen") may be written to indicate that the actual selling price is 1/10. In this case, the consumer will pay 1,000 yen as the purchase cost for food 1B, but will be given points worth 900 yen.

<2. Second embodiment>
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of a food product sales system to which the present invention is applied. This is an example of a system configuration for

The food product sales system 11 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to be able to exchange various information with a consumer terminal 13 used by a person (consumer) who wishes to purchase a food product via the Internet 12.

The food product sales system 11 also includes inventory information recording means 14A, 14B, inventory information confirmation means 15, price calculation means 16, and information output means 17.

Here, the inventory information recording means 14A stores at least information 14Aa on the name of the food 1A, information 14Ab on the stock quantity of the food 1A, information 14Ac on the expiration date of the food 1A, and information 14Ad on the expiration date of the food 1A. , and price information 14Ae of the food 1A.
Specifically, for food 1A whose best-before date has not yet arrived (the best-before date has not yet come, so the expiry date has not yet come), its name, quantity in stock, best-before date, expiration date, and price are recorded. be done.

In addition, the inventory information recording means 14B stores at least information 14Ba on the name of the food 1B, information 14Bb on the stock quantity of the food 1B, information 14Bc on the expiration date of the food 1B, and information 14Bd on the expiration date of the food 1B. It is configured to be able to record information 14Be about the price (list price) of food 1B.
Specifically, for food 1B whose expiration date has passed but whose expiration date has not yet arrived, its name, quantity in stock, expiration date, expiration date, and price (list price) are recorded.

In addition, the inventory information confirmation means 15 records the inventory information when the consumer requests information on food product 1A, or when the consumer requests information on food product 1B, or when the consumer requests information on food product A. The inventory quantity recorded in the means 14A and 14B can be confirmed.
Specifically, when information is received from the consumer terminal 13 indicating a request to output information on food 1A, food 1B, or food product A, information 14Ab on the inventory quantity of food 1A and information 14Ab on the inventory quantity of food 1B is received. Access the information 14Bb to check the number of items in stock.

In addition to the "information 14Ab on the inventory quantity of food 1A" and the "information 14Bb on the inventory quantity of food 1B", the inventory information confirmation means 15 also includes "expiration date 14Ad of food 1A" and "expiration date 14Bd of food 1B". ”. Then, if the expiration date 14Ad of the food 1A has passed, it is determined that the food 1A is out of stock, and if the expiration date 14Bd of the food 1B has passed, it is determined that the food 1B is out of stock.

In addition, when the consumer requests information on the food product 1A, or when the consumer requests information on the food product 1B, or when the consumer requests information on the food product A, the price calculation means 16 uses the inventory information recording means. The price recorded in 14A can be confirmed.
Specifically, when receiving information from the consumer terminal 13 indicating a request to output information on food 1A, food 1B, or food product A, access price information 14Ae for food 1A and check the price. conduct.

Further, the price calculation means 16 calculates the price of the food 1B according to "the number of days that have passed since the expiration date information 14Bc of the food 1B" and "the price (list price) information 14Be of the food 1B".
For example, if the price (list price) of food 1B is 1,000 yen, if it is 1 day past the best before date, it will be 200 yen (80% off the list price), and if it is 2 days past the best before date, it will be 200 yen (80% off the list price). is 100 yen (90% off the list price), 50 yen (95% off the list price) if it is 3 days past the expiration date, 10 yen (99% off the list price) if it is 4 days or more past the expiration date. ).

In addition, "the number of days elapsed since information 14Bc on the expiration date of food 1B" refers to the date when the consumer requested the information (in other words, the date on which the price calculation means 16 calculates the price). It is calculated in comparison with the best-before date information 14Bc of 1B. In the case of the present embodiment, it is determined that "one day has passed since the best-before date" for food 1B based on January 21, 2022.

Further, the information output means 17 is configured to be able to output information to the consumer terminal 13 based on the confirmation results and calculation results of the inventory information confirmation means 15 and the price calculation means 16.
Note that the output information of the information output means 17 in this embodiment is as follows.

(If food 1A and food 1B are in stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if food 1A and food 1B are in stock, "food 1A, food 1B, and food product A are all available for sale" and "food 1A, "Information on prices of food product 1B and food product A" is output.

(If food 1A is out of stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if only food 1A is out of stock (in other words, if only food 1B is in stock), "Because food 1A is out of stock, the sale of food 1A and food product A is prohibited.""Information on the price of food 1B" is output to the effect that only food 1B can be sold.

(If food 1B is out of stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if only food 1B is out of stock (in other words, if only food 1A is in stock), a message saying "Because food 1B is out of stock, sales of food 1B and food product A" is displayed. "Information on the price of food 1A" is output to the effect that only food 1A can be sold.

(If food 1A and food 1B are out of stock)
As a result of confirmation by the stock information confirmation means 15, if food 1A and food 1B are out of stock, "Food 1A, food 1B, and food product A cannot be sold because food 1A and food 1B are out of stock." Outputs the following message.

Note that in this embodiment, the description is given based on January 21, 2022, as in the first embodiment. That is, let us take as an example a case where the inventory information recording means 14A records information on the food 1A whose expiration date has not arrived, and the inventory information recording means 14B records information on the food 1B whose expiration date has passed. I am giving an explanation.
However, whether or not the expiration date has arrived (whether the expiration date has passed or not) depends on the judgment reference date, so taking into account the judgment reference date, the information recorded in the inventory information recording means is It is determined whether or not the food has passed its expiration date.

Specifically, if food A has a best-before date of May 31, 2022, and food B has a best-before date of January 20, 2022, then (1) January 20, 2022; (2) From January 21, 2022 to May 31, 2022, Food A and Food B both fall under Food 1A (in other words, food whose best-before date has not yet passed). Food A falls under Food 1A (in other words, food whose best-before date has not yet passed), food B falls under Food 1B (in other words, food whose best-before date has passed), and (3) 2022. After June 1st, both food A and food B will fall under food 1B (in other words, food whose expiration date has passed).

More specifically, the inventory information confirmation means 15 records the inventory information recording means 14A, 14B based on the date when the consumer requests the information (in other words, based on the date when the inventory information confirmation means 15 confirms the inventory quantity). For food A and food B recorded in , it is determined whether they correspond to food 1A or food 1B, respectively, and then the inventory information of food 1A and food 1B is checked.

Therefore, even if the information recorded in the inventory information recording means 14A, 14B does not change (specifically, the information on the expiration dates of food A and food B does not change), (1) (2) ) (3) The information output by the information output means 17 changes depending on the difference in the judgment reference date.

[effect]
In the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied, even if the consumer desires information on food 1A (in other words, when the consumer does not desire information on food 1B), the inventory of food 1B is On the condition that can.

Furthermore, the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied can output information on the price of food 1B and inform consumers that the price of food 1B is set at a low price. It is possible to arouse the desire to purchase.

[Modification 7]
In the above-described second embodiment, the price calculation means 16 calculates based on "the number of days elapsed from the expiration date information 14Bc of food 1B" as an example, but "food 1B Calculation may be performed based on "the number of days until expiration date information 14Bd of food 1B" or "number of days elapsed since expiration date information 14Bc of food 1B" and "number of days until expiration date information 14Bd of food 1B". Calculations may be made based on both.
