  The present invention solves the above-described problems, and provides a product sales / service support network system that can construct information sites required by producers, distributors, retailers, and consumers, and can easily input and output at any time. It is an object.

The product sales / service support network system of the present invention that has achieved the above object is characterized by the following points.
(1) (A) Producers, distributors, and retailers have respective Web sites on WWW servers operated by Internet server operators.
(B) Each Web site prepares a template and a login ID associated therewith in advance, and automatically generates a TOP page when generating the ID.
(C) A product sales / service support network system that enables creation and updating of a product introduction page by accessing from a terminal device connected to the Internet after receiving a login ID.

  (2) Furthermore, an ID code indicating the URL of the created product introduction page is automatically generated, and a printed out ID code is bundled and attached to the product so that distributors, retailers, and consumers can receive IDs from mobile terminals. The product sales / service support network system according to (1), wherein the code can be easily read and displayed on a product introduction page.

  (3) The site of (1) above automatically generates a document described in RSS (Rich Site Summary), and updates information of each other's pages between producers, distributors, retailers and / or within each supplier. A product sales / service support network system characterized in that it is automatically reflected on its own page, and consumers can obtain updated information using an RSS reader.

  Since the product sales / service support network system of the present invention is configured as described above, it has the following advantages.

  (1) Even if producers, distributors, and retailers do not have knowledge or software for creating websites, the information that they want to convey can be published on the Internet, so the frequency of site updates increases, and consumers can obtain newer information. .

(2) Since the ID code can be read by the mobile phone and the corresponding information can be displayed, the information can be easily obtained even in the store before purchasing the product.
(3) Site owners and consumers can share product information and easily know product history.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing an overview of a product sales / service network support system according to the present invention. In FIG. 1, the system administrator constructs at least one site indicated by a domain name on a WWW server. Desirably, multiple producer sites, distributor sites or / and retailer sites are constructed. The system administrator determines the login ID to which the authorized producer, distributor or retailer (hereinafter referred to as “site owner”) has the authority to create and update pages on each site. At the same time, a template with a home page input / output interface is set up at each site.

  In the system configured as described above, a site owner accesses each site from a terminal connected to the Internet, and logs in to the site using a login ID received in advance. After logging in, a homepage can be created simply by inputting company information, product information, a diary, etc., or uploading product images via an input / output interface. Thereby, the site owner does not need to install homepage creation software in each terminal in order to create a homepage, and does not need to acquire knowledge about HTML. Since the created website is open to the public, consumers can obtain information about the product they want to purchase and information about the producer in advance using a terminal or mobile phone connected to the Internet. Detailed information can be obtained.

  FIG. 2 shows an in-site homepage constructed by the product sales / service net support system. When a site owner creates a home page, a URL indicating the Internet address of each home page is determined. At this time, the system automatically generates a QR code (hereinafter referred to as “ID code”) corresponding to the URL. To do. The site owner can print this ID code and attach it as a seal to a product to be shipped or print it on an advertisement. On the other hand, a consumer who has purchased a product or a consumer who has obtained an advertisement can directly access the homepage of the corresponding product by reading the ID code using a reading device of a mobile phone. As a result, in the present invention, the site owner and the consumer can share information, and for example, the features and history of the product can be easily known.

  FIG. 3 shows a usage form of the RSS file generated at each site. In FIG. 3, the RSS file is described in XML and includes a title of update information, a URL to the information, an update date and time, and a summary. This system automatically creates or updates an RSS file when a site owner creates or updates a page. RSS readers that can read this RSS file are already in widespread use, and now everyone can get a free or paid RSS reader from a download site on the Internet and install it on their own terminal. be able to. Therefore, if a consumer visits the site and registers with his / her RSS reader, the latest information can be obtained without accessing the site directly thereafter. For example, when a producer creates a page for each product on his / her site, a corresponding RSS file is automatically created, and when updated, the RSS file is also updated. When a consumer registers a site with an RSS reader, only the summary of the updated page is automatically read into the RSS reader, so I like it without visiting the site again and looking for updated information. It becomes possible to quickly grasp information about products. Also, since RSS files can be embedded in other websites, when introducing products on a website created by a distributor, a summary of the product information page created by the producer of the product is posted. And link to the product information. From the viewpoint of producers, it is possible to communicate not only the product information itself but also the diary to inform consumers about the product's thoughts, production location information, production process, etc. As a result, production activities themselves can be expected to be activated.

  An example in which the product sales / service support network system of the present invention is applied to the distribution of dried shiitake mushrooms will be described below. The distribution channels for dried shiitake mushrooms are mainly from producers to agricultural cooperatives, shiitake market, brokerage, shiitake wholesalers, processing manufacturers, retail stores, and consumers. Accurate evaluation is not possible. For this reason, collection groups such as agricultural cooperatives each set up a market, gather a wide variety of buyers together, and negotiate before the actual thing. In such a market, although there is a product standard for each market, there is no nationwide standard, so only a narrow range of information is collected in terms of distribution, and networking of distribution information is delayed. Retailers and consumers are demanding the creation of a system that can stably supply a large quantity of products with uniform standards, but the current distribution structure is not capable of meeting such a large demand. When using this system in such an industry, producers write and disclose information such as shiitake harvest time, shipment volume, and shipping time on their own site, and each market site can provide information on the product from which it is shipped. It can be taken in by RSS and disclosed to the wholesalers and retailers throughout the country for the expected arrival quantity and quality for each standard. As a result, a wholesaler who purchases a large quantity can reduce the time and labor required for the purchase, and as a result, an increase in cost can be suppressed. In addition, since each market will disclose information and cooperate with each other, standards will be standardized and shipment adjustments will be made. Therefore, it can be expected that large price fluctuations will not occur.
