The present invention relates to a missing product information display program.

  When managing a product received at a store or the like and placed on a product display shelf, a bar code or an RFID tag (wireless ID tag) attached to the product is used to improve management efficiency. In merchandise management using bar codes, it is necessary for an administrator or the like to read bar code information affixed to merchandise by manually moving the bar code reader closer to the merchandise one by one. However, when an RFID tag is used, information can be automatically read in real time.

  An example of a conventional product display shelf system using an RFID tag is described in Patent Document 1. The merchandise display shelf system described in Patent Document 1 includes a merchandise stored or displayed in a plurality of sections, an RFID tag attached to the merchandise and having an identification code unique to the merchandise, and a registration for writing the identification code in the RFID tag , An antenna for receiving a signal from an RFID tag, a reading unit having a reader connected to the antenna and reading a signal received by the antenna, and an information management means for receiving an identification code read by the reader from the reader It consists of and.

  In the merchandise display shelf system having such a configuration, first, individual addresses are set to the reading units installed in each section. Then, the partition information indicating the partition name corresponding to the address assigned to the reading unit is stored in the storage unit of the information management means. In addition, a store employee or the like writes an identification code of a received product in the RFID tag using a registration machine. Then, product information such as the type and price of the product corresponding to the identification code is stored in the storage unit of the information management means. Next, the RFID tag in which the identification code is written is attached to the product, and the product is placed on a display shelf (predetermined section).

  When the product is placed on the display shelf, the identification code of the RFID tag of the product is read by the reading unit disposed on the display shelf, and the read identification code is transmitted to the information management means. The identification code is stored in the storage unit together with the address of the reading unit. If the product is lost due to the sale of the product or the like, the RFID tag identification code of the lost product cannot be read by the reading unit of the display shelf. Then, the information management means determines which product is no longer read by which reading unit, and the determination result is displayed on the display unit of the information management means. Based on the display content of the display unit, the product manager can grasp which product has disappeared from which display shelf, and can check the current inventory status.

  Further, Patent Document 2 describes a system that can promptly present information related to a product to a customer. In the system, an ID tag storing product information is attached to each product displayed in the product display case.
