The legal compliance DB 28 records “product component”, “legal compliance item”, “information supplier name”, and “issue date”.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17, the process flow of the law information providing method of the present invention will be described. In the present embodiment, the step of extracting the laws and regulations applied to the target product and the product component (see FIG. 16), the conformity verification of the target product and the product component parts with the laws and regulations is performed based on the extraction result, A step (see FIG. 17) for re-verifying the non-conforming product. These are implemented as a continuous series of steps, but may be partly implemented.

  (Step 41) The configuration data of the seller's law extraction request DS12 is input from the product sales company terminal 10a installed in the product sales company and transmitted to the management server 20. An AC adapter, a cable, and a disk are selected as the product components, and are recorded in the product component column along with the manufacturer name and model number as necessary. Here, 2 is selected as the required guarantee level of the product, and is recorded in the required guarantee level column.

  (Step 42) The management server 20 receives the seller law extraction request DS12 from the merchandise sales company terminal 10a and stores it in the temporary storage in the management server 20.

  (Step 43) The management server 20 collates the product components with the applicable laws DB 28 to determine whether the product components recorded in the seller law extraction request DS12 are subject to investigation of applicable laws in the past. To do. Based on the product components of the seller's law extraction request DS12 shown in FIG. 3 and the recorded contents of the applicable law DB 28 shown in FIG. Since it has been investigated in the past, it is determined to be an already investigated component, and since the AC adapter and the cable have not been investigated, it is determined to be an unexamined component.

  (Step 44) The management server 20 creates, for each information supply company, a law extraction request DS22 in which the column “Investigation history” is added to the seller law extraction request DS12. Since both the information supply companies CCC10 and CCC12 have already investigated the disk, “existing” is recorded in the “investigation history” disk column, and “none” is recorded in the AC adapter and cable column. Is done. The management server 20 transmits the law extraction request DS22 created for each information supply company in this way to each information supply company terminal 30a, 30b.

(Step 45a) The information supply company terminal 30a receives the law extraction request DS22. The employee of the information supply company confirms the content of the law extraction request DS22, the request for the extraction of applicable law for the product movie, and the record in the “Survey History” column, the information supply Know that it has already been investigated by the company and that no further investigation is required. Employees will extract applicable laws and compliance items for AC adapters and cables with no survey history. This work is performed based on the expertise of employees and the information supply company regardless of the management system, and the result is input from the information supply company terminal 30a. However, the latest survey result may be newly input for information that has been surveyed but has been determined to be old and needs to be updated. Similarly, applicable laws and compliance items regarding the product itself are also input from the information supply company terminal 30a. The employee also sets a guarantee level for the product movie. This work is based on the experience of employees and the information supplier, and based on the required guarantee level requested by the merchandise sales company, the level of guarantee is determined and the result is the same. Are input from the information supply company terminal 30a. The same applies to the information supply company terminal 30b (step 45b).
(Step 46a) Based on these inputs, the information supply company terminal 30a creates a surveyor's law extraction reply DS32 and transmits it to the management server 20. The same applies to the information supply company terminal 30b (step 46b). As a result, the investigator's law extraction response DS32, which differs for each information supply company, is transmitted to the management server 20.

  (Step 47) When the management server 20 receives the investigator's law extraction response DS32, the management server 20 registers the contents in the law compliance DB 28. Specifically, out of the contents recorded in the surveyor's law extraction response DS32, the legal compliance items for the AC adapter and cable that are product components are extracted and added to the law compliance DB 28 along with the information provider and the date of issue. To do.

  (Step 48) The management server 20 refers to the investigator's law extraction response DS32 and the law suitability DB 28 to create a law extraction response DS23 that is an applicable law extraction result, and transmits it to the merchandise sales company terminal 10a. Of the law extraction response DS23, the legal compliance items of the product movie and the AC adapter and cable of the product component are based on the lawyer's law extraction response DS32 for the investigator. Created based on.

The merchandise sales company can see the data and know the applicable laws that need to be confirmed in order to sell the movie that is the merchandise. This completes the step of extracting laws and regulations applied to the target product.

  (Step 61) Next, with reference to FIG. 17, the flow of legal compliance verification and re-verification of products and product components will be described. The merchandise sales company terminal 10a is newly inputted with auxiliary information that is used as a judgment material for the information supply company such as photographing data and the preliminary evaluation result by the merchandise sales company itself. Based on the law extraction reply DS23, a merchant suitability verification request DS13 is created and transmitted to the management server 20. Here, it is assumed that the information providing company CCC12 having a high guarantee level is selected and a verification request is made to the information providing company CCC12.

  (Step 62) The management server 20 receives the seller's law extraction request DS12 from the merchandise sales company terminal 10a and stores it in the temporary storage in the management server 20.

  (Step 63) The management server 20 receives the primary evaluation by the management organization of the management server 20, creates the compatibility verification request DS24, and transmits it to the information supply company terminal 30a.

  (Step 64) The information supply company terminal 30a receives the compatibility verification request DS24. The employee of the information supply company confirms the compatibility verification request DS24 and knows that there has been a compatibility verification request for the product movie. Employees verify the suitability of the product and each product component by looking at the recorded auxiliary information. This work is performed based on the expertise of the employee and the information supply company regardless of the management system, and the result is input from the information supply company terminal 30a. The employee also sets a guarantee level for the product movie based on auxiliary information. This work is performed, for example, by determining at which level the guarantee is possible from the contents of the display description, and the result is similarly input from the information supply company terminal 30a.

  (Step 65) Based on these inputs, the information supply company terminal 30a creates the investigator suitability confirmation reply DS33 and transmits it to the management server 20.

  (Step 66) The management server 20 creates a compatibility confirmation response DS25 based on the received investigator compatibility confirmation response DS33 and a message input or automatically generated according to the result, and sells the product. It transmits to the company terminal 10a.

  (Step 67) The merchandise sales company terminal 10a receives the compatibility confirmation reply DS25 from the management server 20. The merchandise sales company can see the data and know the non-conforming part and the countermeasures when the movie, which is the product, conforms to the law or not. If there is no nonconformity, the legal information providing method of the present invention ends at this stage.

  (Step 81) The merchandise sales company terminal 10a has auxiliary information (data 5 in FIG. 11) such as photographing data for displaying the contents of the review of the non-conformity confirmed based on the conformity confirmation reply DS25, and merchandise sales.
