Description

  The present invention relates to a producer confirmation system for a product, and more particularly to a producer confirmation system for a product capable of confirming producers of agricultural products and seafood produced in a product co-selection / co-sale system.

Recently, there have been a series of incidents that have shaken public confidence in food in Japan.
On the other hand, the distribution of food products, especially agricultural products in Japan, is increasing day by day, and the development of a system that can smoothly distribute agricultural products and marine products has been desired. Under such circumstances, agricultural product collection and shipping groups such as agricultural cooperatives use large-scale fruit sorting machines to improve the efficiency and leveling of agricultural product sorting and shipping operations under the guidance of the national government. A so-called co-selection / co-sale system has been developed and implemented, in which a large number of the same agricultural products are classified according to a specified standard, boxed and shipped, and sold in the market. According to this system, a box of agricultural products displays a production association name, a product name, a standard (special, A, B, C, etc.) and the like.

In such a huge distribution system for agricultural products, a large amount of agricultural products must be processed rapidly, so it is necessary to clarify the producer name of the agricultural product stored in the box, and to associate the agricultural product with the producer name. A system to sell agricultural products has not been developed, and therefore the producer's take-up is based on the shipment amount of each producer and the price of seri in the market (standard, variety, sugar content, and broken) Since the purchase price is proportionally distributed, rewards for those who have made efforts in agricultural production and improved quality are not allowed.
JP2002-355615A JP-A-11-206358

As is clear from the above reasons, there are many problems in the current co-selection / co-sale distribution system. These problems are enumerated as follows.
・ I don't know the name of the producer of each agricultural product already packed at the time of shipment.
-Since the amount is proportionally distributed, producers who make efforts to improve quality are not rewarded, only those who supply quantitatively are rewarded, and the willingness to produce is lost.
-Since the same printing case is used, there is no checking method at the seller stage and the consumer stage even if the contents are replaced at the intermediate distribution stage.

・ Retails often do not sell cases, so they can only be confirmed by case printing or ordering slips (data) as content confirmation for sale.
・ Consumers judge the content of a product by a product label (price label), but this leads to a loss of authenticity in the original meaning of the contents of the consumer pack.
Such problems arise. The credibility of products that are consumer-packed and sold in stores, including social issues such as merchandising of products and BSE, has also led to consumer distrust. However, the consumer bears all the burden if the burden of the distribution cost for taking the measure to obtain the confidence of all the foods currently distributed is not taken into consideration.
If it is possible to carry out individual selection of all agricultural products and ship them, it is possible to confirm the producer, but at present it is impossible in terms of cost.

  Therefore, the present invention intends to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object of the present invention is to use the conventional co-selection / co-sale mechanism to solve the above-mentioned problems.

Means for solving the problems of the present invention are as follows.
1. A product producer confirmation system that uses the product co-selection and co-sales system to confirm the producer name of the product to be produced. Storage means for storing product data for identifying individual products related to the products shipped by the shipping side for each product generator, among the computers on the shipping side, and stored in the storage means Among the product data, the code data including at least the producer name is set for each retail product as the corresponding product, and the retail product with the code data is set for each of the same standard product and the same producer. For a box to be stored, any data among the product data stored in the storage means, and separate storage for individual retail products that are stored in the storage means and should be stored in the box Means for displaying the product linkage code data, and receiving the received product linkage code data displayed on the box and the code data entered on the retail product from the retail / consumer computer to the shipping computer. The code data written on the received label corresponds to the stored product linkage code data and corresponds to the retail product based on the received data in a state where it is determined that the code is stored in the storage means. A product producer confirmation system that transmits product data including a producer name from a shipping computer to a retail / consumer computer and at least confirms the production name of the produced product.
2. The computer on the shipping side includes the product receipt weight by producer corresponding to each retail product, the delivery quantity by producer, the number of standard classifications by producer, the sorter input count, and the number of receipts by producer by standard for each case. A means to create a journal entry by receiving standard that includes these items is also provided. From the retail / consumer computer to the shipping computer, the merchandise data displayed on the box and the stored merchandise association code data, The code data set for the product is received, and the code data set for the received retail product corresponds to the stored product linkage code data and is received in a state where it is determined that it is stored in the storage means. Produced by sending the information on the specification table according to the receiving standard corresponding to the retail product based on the collected data from the shipping computer to the retail / consumer computer Producers confirmation system of the product according to claim 1, characterized in that to confirm information including the producer's name products.

  Since the connection between an individual product and the producer who produced it becomes clear, it is possible to encourage each producer to make efforts to improve the quality of the product. If the connection between producers and producers with improved quality permeates the consumer, higher quality products will increase their sales, resulting in higher revenues. From the viewpoint of consumers and traders, it is possible to check the correspondence between the producer name and display contents of the boxed product and the individual contents packed in the box by accessing the shipping computer from the retail / consumer computer. . This confirmation can be performed at any step in the distribution process. In the process of distributing products that have been shipped at the request of the producers and other parties including farmers, the products that are in circulation are classified into data such as, for example, grouping by producer, non-pesticide consumer group, etc. Various sorts based on the above are possible. In addition, in the past, collection and selection sites could not be made large due to the amount of data, etc., and they were done in each small area. However, since there are more types of data to be collected, It is possible to promote rationalization of venues and selection areas.

  Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a computer distribution system used in a commonly used agricultural product co-selection / sale system.
As shown in FIG. 1, this system includes a product generator computer 1, a distribution manager computer 2, and a product handler computer 3, and the computers 1 to 3 are connected by transmission lines via transmission / reception devices 1 </ b> P to 3. Yes.
Although the present invention can be applied to such a system and operated, it is not always necessary to use this system, and any computer system may be used as long as the configuration requirements of the invention can be implemented.

"Outline of product producers"
The product generator 11 that owns the product generator computer 1 is a person who ships, provides, or guarantees a product. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, an agricultural producer 11A (farmer, agricultural production corporation, etc.), fishery Worker 11B (fisherman, farmer, etc.), ranch 11C (chicken farm, pig farm, meat producer, dairy manufacturer, etc.), agricultural cooperative 11D, fishery cooperative 11E, production factory 11F (for example, butcher, tea industry, etc.) ), Processing plant 11G (ham / sausage processor, cheese / butter / yogurt processor, brewing company, etc.), fresh food market 11H (fishery market, agricultural production market, meat market, fresh flower market, etc.) It corresponds to. In addition to this, the organization 11I that authenticates, certifies, or permits the quality and safety of the product to be shipped and provided as shown in FIG. In addition, products from agricultural producers 11A, fishermen 11B, ranches 11C, agricultural cooperatives 11D, fishing cooperatives 11E, production factories 11F, processing factories 11G, fresh food markets 11H, etc. as shown in FIG. This also applies to the commodity shipping company 11J that purchases, or receives, authenticates, or authorizes these products from the group 11I to ship or provide the products.

“Overview of Distribution Manager”
The distribution manager 12 who owns the distribution manager computer 2 is a product derived from the product generator 11, that is, a product shipped, provided or guaranteed from the generator 11, or derived from the product generator 11 side. In each distribution process, the product is guaranteed to be a product that has been released, and the person who guarantees the origin and distribution of the product in the distribution process. As the distribution manager 12, other than logistics companies, agricultural cooperatives, fishery cooperatives, cooperative delivery cooperatives, joint shipping companies that receive the provision of goods from the commodity generator 11 and deliver and distribute them to the commodity handler 13 An organization in which authentication, authorization or permission is given to a product derived from the product generator side and distributed to the product handler 13 side is also applicable. Specific examples of the distribution manager 12 include a general trading company 12A, a chain store headquarters 12B, and a place of origin display association 12C (champagne, bolt wine, port wine, Maezawa beef, Seki mackerel, Tokachi wine, Matsuzaka beef, etc.), There is a convenience store headquarters 12D, a logistics company headquarters 12E, and a mail-order sales headquarters 12F such as catalog sales and online sales. In the present invention, this distribution manager plays the main role in implementing the invention.

"Outline of product handlers"
A merchandise handler 13 having a merchandise handler computer 3 directly purchases merchandise shipped or distributed from the merchandise generator 11 and sells it to wholesalers, retailers or consumers. This corresponds to a trader or a trader that purchases from the generator 11 and sells it to a wholesaler, retailer, or consumer with intervening distributors Q and R as shown in FIG. Also, a merchant who purchases a product from the distribution manager 12 who guarantees that the product is derived from the product generator 11 and manages its distribution, and sells the product to wholesalers, retailers or consumers. Corresponds to this. Specific examples of the merchandise handler 13 include a supermarket 13A, a department store 13B, a mail order / net dealer 13C, a retail store 13D, a consumer cooperative 13E, a convenience store 13F, a consumer association 13G, and a wholesaler 13H shown in FIG. There is also a processor 13I that performs wholesale and retail processing by processing products from the product generator 11 side. In particular, when the merchandise handler 13 is the distribution headquarters of a chain store or convenience store, the merchandise once circulated from the merchandise generator 11 side may be delivered to the affiliated stores 1 to n (see FIG. 4), in this case, the collected products are subdivided and packaged, processed (for example, products are cooked), and delivered to each of the affiliated stores 1 to n. Such chain store headquarters, convenience store headquarters, processors, etc. are also the product handlers 13. In the present invention, when purchasing a product directly from the product producer as described above, it plays the main role (structure of the invention) of the present invention, such as management of a producer name such as the distribution manager. It will be.

  The commodity generator computer 1 is provided with a transmission / reception device 1P, a memory 1Q, and an arithmetic processing unit 1R (see FIG. 1). Further, the distribution manager computer 2 includes a transmission / reception device 2P, a memory 2Q, and an arithmetic processing unit 2R (see FIG. 1). Further, the merchandise handler computer 3 includes a transmission / reception device 3P, a memory 3Q, and an arithmetic processing unit 3R. As shown in FIG. 1, the product characteristic information management device set in each of the computers 1, 2, and 3 is a product held by a product that is delivered and distributed from the product generator 11 side to the product handler 13 side. Characteristic information is guaranteed systematically, and it relates to items that ensure the origin and distribution of goods.

  Communication is performed between the transmission / reception devices 1P and 2P between the distribution manager computer 2 and the product generator computer 1, and between the distribution manager computer 2 and the product handler computer 3, each layer receiving device 2P, Communication will be performed between 3P. In some cases, direct communication between the product generator computer 1 and the product handler computer 3 occurs.

  Various kinds of unique product characteristic information are provided for the products that are distributed from the product generator 11 to the product handler 13 and distributed, and these characteristic information includes the “origin” and “production” of the product. ”,“ Raw material ”,“ expiration date ”,“ quality ”,“ use ”,“ efficacy ”, etc. For example, in the case of fresh food, the production area includes characteristic information such as “Yuzusansanma”, “Yamagata beef”, “Yonezawa beef”, “Ichiya oyster”, and the like. The characteristic information related to the producer includes “farmer name”, “farm name”, “agricultural cooperative name”, “processor name”, etc., in addition to the “farmer name” that produced the product. Characteristic information relating to raw materials includes “organic soybean”, “no agricultural chemicals”, “ORGANIC”, “use of non-genetically modified raw materials”, and the like. The characteristic information related to the expiration date includes “expiration date ○ month ○ day”, “○ month ○ day production”, and the like. Characteristic information related to quality includes "Domestic soybean use", "Natural koji", "No pesticide", "ORGANIC", "Gene non-recombinant corn use", "No antibiotic use", "No additive", " There are no use of synthetic preservatives and no use of coloring agents. The characteristic information related to the use includes “for raw food”, “for diabetics”, “for cooking”, “for pan”, and the like. The characteristic information relating to the efficacy includes “beauty food”, “healthy food”, “allergy-friendly food”, “low-calorie food”, “balance nutrition food”, and the like.

  Data relating to a product to be shipped, which is provided with such product characteristic information and shipped from the product generator 11 side or can be shipped, is first set and registered in the management device of the computer 1 on the product generator side. When the distribution manager completely manages the product characteristic information such as the name of the manufacturer, the distribution manager may register the product characteristic information without registering the product characteristic information in the computer 1 on the product generator side.

  In the product generator 11 illustrated as described above, the product characteristic information held by the product is input to the product generator computer 1 for each product to be delivered and distributed to the product handler 13. To. The inputted product characteristic information regarding the product to be shipped is set and registered as product data A in the product data registration means A in the management apparatus of the computer 1 (see FIG. 5). The product data A to be registered is set for each product to be shipped, for example, as shown in FIG. 6, first, the product name (for example, Uonuma rice, domestic beef, etc.) and the shortened code of the product are set, and then the shipping Necessary product characteristic information about the target product (contents, variety, price, calories, additives, raw materials, quality, expiration date, date of manufacture, use, efficacy, manufacturer, production area, processor, certification organization, etc. ) Will be set. In addition, necessary order conditions (delivery area, purchase application deadline, minimum purchase quantity, logistics company name, etc.) for the product to be shipped by the product generator 11 are also set in a state accompanying the product data A. Thus, the product data A and the data associated therewith are stored in the memory 1Q of the computer 1 by the product data registration means A.

The merchandise data A registered in the merchandise data registration means A and the data accompanying the merchandise data A are sent to the distribution manager computer 2 or the merchandise handling by the sending means B of the management apparatus set in the computer 1 as data relating to each shipment target merchandise. Is transmitted to the person computer 3 (see FIG. 5), and the transmission is performed from the transmission / reception apparatus 1P to the transmission / reception apparatus 2P.
Hereinafter, an example of physical distribution will be described for products related to agricultural products, and the distribution system will be described focusing on the present invention.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing an example of product collection / shipment work using the system. An example of the product collection / shipment work of the present invention will be described using this flowchart.
Products produced by farmers, vegetable production factories, etc. (product generators) are registered with the product generator computer 1 at the same time as harvesting, and then sent to the agricultural product collection and distribution group (distribution manager) such as agricultural cooperatives. Collected and received 101.
Collecting and shipping groups (distribution managers) that co-select and sell agricultural products categorize the individual products received from each product producer (farmers, vegetable production factories, etc.) by standard, or by producer. Classification work is carried out, and the classified products are stored in a box and shipped in a boxed state. For example, when the product is a fruit such as an apple, classification according to standards such as variety (Kokumi, Tsugaru, India, etc.), size (L, M, S, etc.), grade (special, A, B, etc.), weight, etc. And production areas (for example, Aomori XX village) and producers (XX farms, etc.) are classified, and in the collection and shipping group in the embodiment, the automatic fruit sorting machine and the automatic packing shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. Depending on the machine, for example, packaging by standard such as varieties, sizes, grades, etc., and sorting by production area and producer is performed.

  When the product is shipped from the producer, the classification data for each product related to the product shipped, the classification data for the producer and the production area (collectively, product data) are the products equipped with an automatic fruit selection machine. It may be set and registered in the generator (for example, vegetable factory, small-scale production association, agricultural production corporation, etc.), and the data thus set is registered and stored in the management device of the computer 1 on the product generator side. Is done. Among the data to be registered, necessary data (producer name and product type are mandatory items, other items are optional) are uniquely set for each product as code data on the product generator side, and correspond to each product. It is displayed on a label attached to the product (it may be displayed on the product itself). At this stage, the retail product that is finally retailed and sold to the consumer itself has a different ID, and the code data including at least the producer name, product type, etc. is a method of sticking the label to the product. Thus, for example, it is individually displayed on the product in the state of a two-dimensional code and a barcode (step T1 in FIG. 8). The set code data is stored in the storage device of the computer 1.

  In addition to the set code data including the producer name and the like, it is also necessary to add a lot of item data for each processing step when the product is received 101 by a collection / shipment organization as a distribution manager. That is, depending on the product, data may be written sequentially thereafter. To satisfy these conditions, a writable IC chip (so-called IC tag) is attached to each product by a method such as labeling. It is good to do.

  The product generator is not equipped with a selection machine, etc., and as described above, the classification data for each standard, the producer, the production area, and the classification data regarding the product type are not set. The product received at 101 is received in a state where the code data or the like is not displayed, for example, as a label as described above (step T2 in FIG. 8). The information regarding the production area is set, and the total weight of the product received by the lightweight machine is measured (step T3 in FIG. 8). The weighing data of the specific product thus measured (XX farmer, XX region, apple country) is input to the storage device of the distribution manager computer 2 in FIG. 1 and temporarily stored together with the information related to the specific product. Is done.

  With respect to the specific products that are not labeled, the determination is made as to whether or not the labels are attached in advance before being put into the distribution manager's selection machine (step T4). . For specific products without these labels, first, necessary data consisting of the name of the producer in the management device of the computer 2 on the distribution manager side (producer name, type is required, other production area, specific association) Any name is set. The necessary data is set uniquely for each product to be received and displayed on a label attached to each corresponding product (step 5 in FIG. 5, may be displayed on the product itself). ). At this stage, the product that is finally retailed and sold to the consumer itself is composed of different IDs, and at least the code data including the name of the producer and the product type is attached to the product by, for example, labeling. It will be displayed individually on the product in the state of a two-dimensional code and a barcode. The set code data is stored in the storage device of the computer 1.

  In addition to the set code data including the producer name and the like, depending on the product, it is necessary to add various classification codes for each processing step afterwards with a selection machine. That is, depending on the product, code information such as product type, size, weight and sugar content may be sequentially written in addition to the set code data in each subsequent processing step. In order to satisfy these conditions, a writable IC chip (so-called IC tag) may be attached to each product by a method such as label sticking.

  On the other hand, regarding the product already labeled on the product generator side, when the product is received by the distribution manager, the entire weight is weighed with a weighing machine (step T3 in FIG. 8), and the production thus weighed is measured. The weighing data about the product is input and stored in the storage device of the computer 2 of the distribution manager in FIG. 1 together with the information related to the received product.

  For the product with the weighed label, it is determined whether or not the label is first attached at the stage of receipt (Step T4), and will be described later without going through Step T5 for attaching the label. In addition to the variety, size, grade, and weight, the classification machine (classification, shape, etc.) that is not set on the merchandise handler side is implemented by the fruit selection machine. In addition, the code data regarding the classification by product type, production area, and producer is shared between the computer 1 and 2 of the merchandise handler side and the distribution manager, as well as categories and standards related to product standards. The code data for the above may be made common, and data inquiry and verification may be performed between the computers 1 and 2 as necessary. In particular, for data related to products that are attached to retail products related to the product and received from the product producer to the distribution manager, the code data is used as the product to be shipped from the computer 1 to the computer 2. In this embodiment, the code data is temporarily stored in the storage device of the computer 2 for the above inquiry and verification.

  In this way, at least code data relating to the producer name is set in all retail goods relating to the product received by the distribution manager and to be input to the fruit sorting machine. In the embodiment, the code data is displayed as a two-dimensional code and a barcode on the label. At this stage, the distribution manager's computer 2 is where code data is set and stored for the individual retail products (products) that are labeled on the distribution manager side. As for the retail products whose labels are displayed on the product generator side, the code data is not set and stored as the retail products actually received.

  Therefore, for all the merchandise items that have been received and that have been newly affixed at step T5, and all the merchandise items that have been affixed in advance on the merchandise producer side, the labels are placed in the pre-stage. Is read (step T6), and the retailer to be put into the sorting machine based on the data meaning the producer among the code data previously notified from the product generator computer 1 by a method such as communication. The “delivery quantity by producer” of the product is read. Further, from the computer 1 on the product generator side, code data that is classified in advance by a selection machine on the product generator side and that is standard for size, grade, etc., production region, etc. of the received product is received. Therefore, the distribution manager's computer 2 reads the label in step T6 and, by reading the label, information on the standard and production area, such as size and grade, for each retail product, code data indicating the product-specific ID. Can be registered and stored in the computer 2. As a result, it is possible to count and recognize the number of standard classifications by manufacturer and the number of sorters that are already attached to the product generator.

  Next, a specific configuration of the fruit selection machine will be described with reference to FIG. Regardless of whether or not a label is attached, the fruit sorting machine classifies all the products to be input based on a predetermined standard, and enables separation. The consignment 101 includes not only what is brought directly from the producer but also the horizontal holding of the product from the relay site. In addition, free production that was collected on the previous day and was not stored in the pre-cooled warehouse without being processed within the day, and the product was not continuously traded with the carry-on part of the previous day or with the collection / shipping group. The manually supplied 104 crops brought in by the person are hung on the depalletizer 103, taken out of the transport box, sorted, and connected to the plurality of container transport lines 105 connected thereto. Each is sorted, distributed and transferred.

  The fruit sorting machine 108 selects the wounds and pains by the destacker 106 and the hand selection unit 107, and the product that has passed this inspection is measured for sugar content and cram degree by the FS transmission type measurement unit 109. After the color sorter measurement unit 110 inspects the color and shape, the equal class of each product is determined. Thus, when the distribution manager determines the size, grade, weight, sugar content, etc., for each individual retail product as a product, this data is unique to the individual retail product in the storage device of the computer 2. Stored in correspondence with code data indicating the ID to be executed. Here, the information received from the computer 1 on the merchandise generator side and classified and stored for the corresponding retail merchandise according to the standard determined on the merchandise generator side is stored on the distribution manager side selecting machine. The newly determined information is set to be prioritized, and in some cases, overwriting is performed with respect to an already existing standard (a standard determined on the product generator side). Here, when a writable code data storage medium such as an IC chip is attached to a retail product as an individual product, the standards determined for the product such as size, grade, weight, sugar content, You may make it overwrite in the form of code data for every step of a fruit selection machine.

  Reference numeral 111 denotes an electromagnetic discharge device. Here, the label attached to the selected product includes at least the producer, product type, and retail product ID among the product characteristic information about the retail product. It is set and recorded in the form of data. The electromagnetic discharge device 111 is provided with a reader for reading the code data recorded on the label, and the discharge device 111 stores it in the storage device of the computer 2 based on the retail product ID of the read code data. Corresponding to the product data (standard, producer name, production region, etc.), for example, selection is made for any kind such as the same producer name and the same standard kind (for example, Aomori Tsugaru Production, Domestic Production, L, Excellent , Sugar content, XX farm, etc.), and the product discharged therefrom is sent to an automatic boxing unit 113 composed of an automatic boxing robot. As a result of selection, those that are out of specification are repelled (112), and crops that need to be shelled are subjected to this incidental work (120), and from the automatic product feed line 116, the automatic sealing line and the item packing line 118 , Packed, product pool line 121, three-dimensional warehouse 122, pallet stacking 124, etc. The successful bid is sent to the product terminal (123) for product shipment and next day delivery Those that have been sent to are sent to the pre-cooling cabinet for storage. It should be noted that luxury products and crops that cannot be machined can be sent separately to the hand-packing unit 114 and handled separately.

  The products to be packed and packed are displayed for each group, and a label for affixing a box as shown in FIG. 9 is affixed to each box and displayed. Also good). That is, in the management device of the distribution manager's computer 2, selection is performed for each arbitrary product type such as the same producer name and the same standard product type, and the product is stored in the box at the stage of packing by the automatic packing unit 113. Product data of individual retail products will be automatically recognized, and product characteristic information (producer name, product type, size, etc.) of retail products to be accommodated can be displayed as necessary. Yes.

  Furthermore, in the management device of the distribution manager's computer 2, naturally, the code data relating to the unique ID of each retail product accommodated in the box can be recognized based on the information stored in the storage device. Based on the information, the management device creates stored product linkage code data that has a relationship between the box and individual code data of the retail product stored in the box, and product characteristics for the stored product It is possible to output and display a two-dimensional code or barcode obtained by converting information (product data) into code data together with the case label.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10, the management device of the computer 2 is based on the code information of each product that has been input and stored so far. The standard classification number for each person sorter input count number, the number for each case, the number of entries for each producer, and the like are calculated, and based on these total values, the management device creates a journal table for each receiving standard as shown in FIG. The created journal entry table for each receipt standard is created for each producer, for example, and is disclosed based on access from a computer on the commodity generator side. For this reason, even if the product is put on the co-selection / sale system, the producer can understand which standard the product he / she brought is applicable to, and the difference between the price brought in the market and the takeover is clear. The unfairness of the company disappears and efforts to produce products are rewarded.

  The product thus packaged and attached with the label for box attachment shown in FIG. 10 is distributed and unpacked in supermarkets, department stores, retail stores, and the like. Code data is set for each retail product that is unpacked and taken out from inside, and the displayed label is attached. A computer arranged in a store such as a retail store, for example, a product handler computer 3 shown in FIG. 1, reads code data consisting of a barcode and a two-dimensional code displayed on the retail product, and further, on a box label. The displayed bar code and code data including a two-dimensional code are read and transmitted to the distribution manager computer 2 on the shipping side. In the computer 2, the code data set for the received retail product is stored as the code data related to the ID of the product and stored in the storage device in the same manner as the received product association code data displayed on the received box. In a state in which it is determined that the product data such as the producer name, production area, size, grade, sugar content, etc. stored in the storage device corresponds to the code data relating to the received retail product ID It is assumed that the message is transmitted to 3. In the computer 3, the received product data can be displayed on a display device for consumers at a retail store or the like and confirmed. As a result, retailers and consumers can confirm the consistency of the contents of the retail product with the producer name and other information displayed on the box as a result, and more accurately grasp the traceability of the product. Become.

  In addition, in the management device of the computer 2, the code data set for the received retail product corresponds to the code data related to the ID of the product as well as the stored product linkage code data displayed on the received box. In the state where it is determined that the data is stored in the storage device, it corresponds to the code data related to the received retail merchandise ID and relates to the journal according to the receiving standard shown in FIG. 10 stored in the storage device. All or part of the data is transmitted to the computer 3. In the computer 3, all or part of the data related to the journal table according to the receiving standard shown in FIG. 10 can be displayed and confirmed on the display device.
