Among the information on sales items collected by the OS system, information on items corresponding to customers can be used by transferring the item information, price information, and product information of purchased items to a home communication terminal via a communication network. Is what you do.

[0005] In addition, there has been proposed a refrigerator management system capable of checking refrigerator refrigerator management information from outside (for example, see Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. H11-325703 (hereinafter referred to as D system)). . In this method, a bar code reader is used to optically read a bar code of management information indicating the name, expiration date, price, purchase shop, etc. of a product housed in a refrigerator and store it in a memory. When the mobile terminal is connected to the telephone terminal connected to the refrigerator from an outside location and operated, a tone signal indicating a request for in-house management information is input from the telephone terminal to the MPU via the modem, and the MPU receives the product. Is transmitted to the telephone terminal as data and transmitted to the mobile telephone terminal via the telephone terminal.

[0006] A system for managing products stored in a refrigerator via an IC card has been proposed (for example,
See JP-A-11-223443 (hereinafter referred to as E system)).
In this method, when purchasing a product, data related to fresh food is recorded on an IC card by a POS terminal device, the IC card is inserted into a refrigerator at home, and the recorded data is read by a management device.

[0007]

In the above-mentioned method A, when putting purchased food into a refrigerator, food information is input to a food information input section of the refrigerator to prevent spoilage due to forgetting to use the food. . However, in the A method, there are inconveniences such as inputting information of purchased foods, not knowing stock information at the time of purchasing foods, and being unable to confirm missing foods from outside.
Further, since the receipt is read, the receipt is required, and if the receipt is lost, the receipt cannot be input.

[0008] In the B method, old food is warned by an alarm device, so that the expiration date does not expire. However, it is necessary to manually input food information, and stock information at the time of food purchase is unknown. However, there is a problem that food cannot be checked from outside.

[0009] In the C method, transmission and reception are performed between a POS terminal and a home communication terminal. However, since it is necessary to newly establish a large-scale communication facility in both the store and the home, anyone can use it. There is a problem that it cannot be said that it is possible. In addition, the C method has a problem in that it is not possible to access the communication terminal in the home from outside and check the contents of the product. It is most convenient to be able to connect a portable telephone and a POS that anyone has, and it is possible to check the contents even from outside and can be widely applied.

[0010] As for the D method, an information transfer means from a refrigerator to a portable information terminal has been proposed, which is a transmission / reception between a user and a refrigerator, and which is used for merchandise transaction at a store. There is no description of a method for directly transferring information to an information terminal.

In the E method, an IC card is used as a means for transferring information to a customer terminal, and it is necessary to newly install an IC card. Even without an IC card, it is desirable to transfer information from a POS terminal to a portable information terminal.

[0012] Therefore, an object of the present invention is to solve these conventional problems, and at the time of a transaction, the transaction data of the last purchase date can be viewed anytime and anywhere on the display unit of the portable terminal, and the management of these transactions is easy. It is an object of the present invention to provide a transaction information management method using a short-range wireless communication and a portable information terminal.
