Even though the information is recorded from breeding to sales, it existed as a system that can not be quickly recovered and prevented from blocking when problems occur, and also managed by the box unit instead of individually managing the divided parts during slaughter. It is impossible to manage. In order to cope with this, it was required to simplify business processes using IoT technology and to enhance transparency using real-time management and blockchain technology.

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art may easily implement the present invention. As those skilled in the art would realize, the described embodiments may be modified in various different ways, all without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.

1 is a view schematically showing a conventional livestock product history tracking method. Conventional animal husbandry history management method is given in the breeding and slaughter stage by individual number of livestock products is managed thoroughly, but in the processing and sales stage is grouped by box in the process of packaging livestock and slaughtered livestock products The numbers are stored to record and manage packaging and transactions. As a result, in the post-processing step, it is managed as a bundle number irrespective of the original individual number, so that it is impossible to manage the history of each individual.

For example, in FIG. 1, the parts of the livestock products A 101, B 102 and C 103 are packaged in the box a 106, and an issue such as the detection of the pesticide component occurs in the box a 106. In addition, Pack 1 (108) distributed in Box a (106), as well as Pack 2 (109) and Pack 3 (110) packaged only with livestock B (102) or C (103), are suspected of pesticide components and are subject to recovery. However, in the current distribution process, the history that the box a 106 was packaged from the livestock products A 101, B 102, and C 103 could not be confirmed anywhere.

Therefore, in order to solve the problem, the present invention has developed a blockchain-based history management system by applying a blockchain method to develop a history information inquiry system for individual products and recombined products. We have developed a business owner infrastructure that can perform history management in real time.

Figure 2 is a diagram schematically showing the history management of livestock products to which the blockchain of the present invention is applied. Generally, blocks are generated based on one block in the blockchain. However, in the present invention, data is managed by creating a separate new block for each individual and recombination unit. That is, in the breeding and slaughtering stage, a new block is generated for each individual, and necessary data in each stage such as individual information is input to each individual block. Then, in the case of not being packaged for each individual in the processing step, a single new block for each recombination unit is generated in a single or multiple servers. Accordingly, when the objects are recombined for each site in the processing step, a block for each recombination unit (bundle block) is generated, and data required after the processing step may be input to the block for each recombination unit (bundle block). In this case, the block for each recombination unit (bundling block) is to ensure the backtracking of the recombination by including not only the data after the recombination, such as the bundle number, but also the breeding and slaughter stage, that is, the individual information included in the creation of a new block. .

The mobile app dedicated to historical information management system enables livestock movement notifications through farmers' terminals using data recognized by RFID tags, beacons, etc. (eg, individual identification numbers or farm identification numbers / slaughterhouse numbers). In addition, the consumer may check the history data inquiry and the related organization linked data (for example, quality certification information or inspection certificate) in connection with the history management system through the terminal. The mobile app can be built with the JAVA API and run through a terminal (eg, a mobile phone).

In addition, the history information management system I / F using IoT sensors adopts RFID technology and equipment optimized for history information management to realize advanced management of livestock management and improvement research, and establish an accurate information management system on movement history. have. It is also possible to use the LF RFID-based system that is currently used, but because the LF RFID-based system is an ultra-short-range sensor communication method, it is inconvenient to be close to the object for recognition, so the high specification low cost UHF RFID due to the recent technological development Based systems are preferred.

In addition, the blockchain-based livestock products history information management system of the present invention may be executed in conjunction with the individual company of the introduction company through the history information management system I / F.
