Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic commerce system for connecting a producer in a rural area to a purchaser in a retail business, a food service industry, or the like using information communication or broadcast communication such as the Internet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art With the spread of information networks in the general society in recent years, transaction activities in cyberspace have become increasingly important. For example, it is possible to enjoy shopping functions on the Internet by freely flying to stores around the world, enjoying show windows, and actually purchasing items. In such a shopping function on the Internet, in addition to characters, a photograph of a product, a local scenery, a fashion show, and the like are provided as additional information. As one of the product sales systems utilizing the Internet, there is a service for producing and selling custom-designed products by customers. This merchandise sales system sells “one of the world's original merchandise” that matches the values of individual customers by utilizing the Internet function, rather than luxury brand products that many people wear. On the other hand, a system that attempts to attract customers by enhancing communication with customers has also been proposed. For example, create a mechanism to create communication between urban residents and local residents, build mutual trust by maintaining communication, and call the so-called "related vegetables" and ordinary vegetables that only local residents have enjoyed so far. This is a system that sells "special food ingredients" that do not enter the distribution. In this system, staff actually visited a rural area, transferred the experiences and incidents they met there to the Internet site in real time using a mobile function as "photos" and "text", and browsed information on this site The feature is that consumers' voices are once again transmitted to rural people through the site. As described above, various commercial transaction systems have been proposed with the spread of the Internet.

[0003]

At present, consumers, retailers, and producers have the following needs in commercial transactions of agricultural products and the like.

Consumer needs Similar products can be obtained no matter where you go in stores nationwide due to the advancement of large supermarkets. However, the acquisition of regional unique ingredients and regional ingredients The voice of desire is rapidly increasing. In addition, due to recent environmental problems such as dioxins, the need for learning about the ingredients contained in food ingredients that are eaten every day is rapidly increasing. There are calls for information disclosure. The summary of such consumer needs is as follows. (1) Small lot characteristics We want to get good products in small lots instead of uniform lot products. Not only products that are displayed on product shelves all year round, but also product displays where you can enjoy the seasonal feeling of each season. (2) Freshness than the standard It is more important for the product to be fresh and natural than for the product shape and size to be too uniform, and the shape may be slightly irregular. Anyway, it would be great if "freshly picked vegetables" could be purchased every day. (3) Clarity of production area and safety Large supermarkets advertise organic vegetables, but there is concern about simply displaying that they are organic vegetables, and at least a clear indication of the production area and farmers can ensure a sense of security. You. Above all, the safety of small-lot vegetables, which are referred to as home-grown vegetables and related vegetables, which are consumed by producers themselves without being distributed to the market, is compelling. (4) Production of agricultural products that meet the needs of consumers We want consumers to feed back their needs information on agricultural products to producers and produce original products. In particular, “homegrown vegetables” and “related vegetables” that are difficult to obtain at major supermarkets
I want to get real vegetables that take a lot of effort and valuable agricultural products that do not fit into existing regular distribution. (5) Disclosure of objective data on nutrients, etc. Not only one-sided vague information from producers and sellers,
We want you to disclose information such as comparisons with objective data, national averages, and past data.

[0005] Retailers who are always in contact with consumers can respond to the above-mentioned consumer needs, and consumers must ensure that foods that can be checked for safety, security and health, and information related thereto. There is an increasing tendency to expect retailers to have a trustworthy agent role.

[0006] In response to such consumer needs, retailers not only sell products themselves, but also
We have a desire to provide the accompanying information as an important added value. However, in the past, with respect to general products flowing through existing distribution channels, retailers themselves did not have sufficient information on the products themselves, and in reality, they could not sufficiently respond to the needs of consumers.

[0007] Needs of producers [0007] As the environment surrounding agriculture has become more severe,
Conventionally, there is a problem of how to increase agricultural income and how to secure agricultural workers. Recently, while issues such as the establishment of a local brand and how to secure a new sales channel for the product are being discussed, it is unusual to respond to consumer needs in the local produce market, etc. There is a growing need to sell agricultural products as specialty products. However, in order to realize such needs, there are practical problems such as how to solve the labor shortage due to depopulation and aging. Unless this problem is solved,
It is difficult to meet the quality and quantity to meet consumer needs. In particular, there are many elderly people who grow their own vegetables and local specialty crops. become. Therefore, as a production farmer, not only will they buy attractive agricultural products, but also the need for cooperation in agricultural work, including sorting and transportation of agricultural products for shipment, has been gradually increasing. Regarding the products themselves, vegetables that are said to be home-grown or related vegetables have a yield of about 3% of the actual shipment to the market, and there are 25 vegetables that cannot be marketed as nonstandard products. ~ 3
0% is present. In particular, with respect to homegrown vegetables, it is increasingly recognized that there is a need for consumers, and if the labor shortage is resolved, the desire to further increase the production is rapidly increasing. Also, as if in tune with this movement, there has recently been a move across the country to revive traditional vegetables that are no longer on the home dining table and to reinvigorate traditional varieties that are consumed only in a part of the local area. Is spreading. Therefore, the need to sell agricultural products that do not go through the distribution process is extremely high.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention provides an electronic commerce system that enables a purchaser to obtain prediction information about agricultural products and the like before harvesting or shipping in order to facilitate the sale of agricultural products that do not enter the distribution process at present. The purpose is to provide. It is another object of the present invention to provide an e-commerce system that enables a producer to obtain purchaser's order entry information at a cultivation stage before harvesting.

For example, it can be determined from a quarterly shipping plan and a quarterly purchasing plan. As another method, it can be determined from the weekly shipping plan and the purchase results and purchase needs of the buyer. As still another method, it can be determined from the input product name, the purchase record of the buyer side, and the purchase needs. The comprehensive evaluation score is determined to include data on distribution costs or distribution distances determined from data on purchase locations and data on production locations, and data on supply and demand matching rates. Therefore, this comprehensive score has a high demand-supply matching rate,
The lower the logistics cost, the higher the score. In FIG. 15, on the displayed map, the supply and demand matching rate is displayed stepwise by color. In FIG. 16, the comprehensive evaluation points are displayed in different colors in a stepwise manner on the displayed map. In FIG. 17, "supply-demand matching rate" and "comprehensive evaluation point" are displayed together with "retail company name" and "distribution cost" indicating the purchaser. The distribution cost is determined from data on the place of production and data on the place of purchase. Note that the logistics cost is the cost required to transport the product to the buyer's place of purchase, so it is usually the logistics cost to the place of purchase, but for example, in the case of a chain store, etc.
When the cost of transporting a product to a sales place different from the place of purchase is required, the distribution cost is preferably determined from the place of production and the place of sale. By instructing the displayed “retail company name”, it is possible to shift to the transaction top screen 25 or the transaction input screen 29. By instructing the “distribution cost”, it is possible to shift to a detailed distribution cost screen by shipping amount. Although the search result screens are separately shown in FIGS. 15 to 17, a more detailed situation can be grasped by displaying a plurality of search results in combination. As described above, in the embodiments of FIGS. 11 to 17, the respective procedures have been described based on the screen used by the producer, but the same applies to the purchaser. That is, only the items unique to the producer and the items unique to the purchaser are changed, and the other basic screen configurations and procedures are the same. As for the distribution costs described above, the ratio can be determined according to the distance or the transportation cost from the place of production to the place of purchase or the place of sale, and the distribution costs can be calculated by multiplying the ratio by the transaction amount. . Alternatively, the transaction amount can be considered instead of or together with the transaction amount. The ratio is, for example, 5% in the same prefecture as the production area, and 8% in the prefectures outside the production area.
% Can also be determined.
