  The storage unit 11 constituting the information processing apparatus 1 can store various types of information. The various types of information are, for example, management information described later, access information described later, and the like. Other information will be explained in a timely manner.

  The management information storage unit 111 stores one or more management information. The management information is information for managing one or two or more codes and information storage locations corresponding to the one or more codes. The management information includes, for example, a code and a storage location identifier.

  The code may be a code representing data. The code is, for example, an array in which one or more characters such as alphabets and numbers, symbols such as colons and slashes, and the like are combined. Specifically, the code may be, for example, an array of characters or the like expressing the URL, or may be a pattern such as a QR code or a barcode embedded with the URL. In the following description, an array of characters or the like expressing a URL (for example, “http://www.abc... / Xxx”) may be simply referred to as a URL. In addition, conversion of data such as URLs into codes such as characters and codes and symbols is generally referred to as encoding (or encoding).

  The storage location identifier is information for specifying the storage location. A storage location is a location where information is stored. The storage location is, for example, a folder or a directory, but may be a device such as a server or an external hard disk. The storage location identifier is, for example, a folder name or a directory name, but may be a device identifier for identifying a device such as a server. The device identifier will be described later.

  The information to be accumulated is information corresponding to a code acquired by the code acquisition unit 131 described below (hereinafter may be referred to as “acquired code”) (hereinafter “information corresponding to the acquired code”), or simply “information”. May be written). Information is information about the self, such as information about self-introduction, information on a business card, information on a postcard, information on a gift card, but information on an instruction manual, information on a label, Any information such as information on a name tag, information on various materials, information posted on a bulletin board, and the like may be used. The instruction information is printed on a booklet, for example, but may be provided in the form of a PDF file. The information of various materials is printed on, for example, a pamphlet or a flyer, but may be posted on a web page.

  In addition, a label is a sticker attached to goods, fixtures, etc., for example. The product is, for example, an article such as a food product, clothing, or home appliance, but may be a service such as travel (for example, a travel pamphlet) and is widely understood. The equipment is, for example, a desk, a chair, an OA device, or the like, but may be anything that is used in a company, a hospital, or the like. Alternatively, the label may be, for example, a sticker attached to an explanation panel of an exhibit such as a painting or sculpture displayed in an art museum or a museum, and an object to which the label is attached is not limited.

  The label attached to the product includes information such as the quality display, the place of origin, and the price of the product. Information such as management data, specification data, maintenance history, and manual of the equipment is written on the label attached to the equipment. The management data includes, for example, information such as equipment numbers, purchase dates, and administrator names. The maintenance history is, for example, a set of pairs of item names such as “inspection” and “repair” and dates such as “November 2, 2017”. However, the data structure of management data or maintenance history is not limited.

  The name tag is, for example, a wristband worn by a patient in a hospital, but may be a name plate attached to a patient's bed or a sticker attached thereto. This type of name tag includes, for example, patient data such as name, ID, and sex, and information such as an electronic medical record.

  However, for example, only the code information (for example, QR code) described later is described in the label or name tag itself, or only part of the above information (for example, the label of the equipment label). Only management data in the case, and only patient data in the case of a patient wristband). And all of the above information, or the part that is not written on the label or name tag itself (for example, specification data for maintenance labels, maintenance history, manuals, etc. The medical record is stored in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier corresponding to the code embedded in the QR code. The accumulation includes, for example, addition to a maintenance history, an electronic medical record, and the like. The additional writing will be described with a specific example.

  The stored information is, for example, text information such as documents, but may be image information such as photographs and illustrations, or a web page (self-introduction site, product introduction site, equipment management page, patient management page, etc.) It may be. Furthermore, information may be paraphrased as content. The content includes at least one of character information, image information, and audio information.

  Accordingly, various amounts of information that cannot be described in the printed matter itself such as labels, name tags, business cards, pamphlets, leaflets, and explanation panels are stored in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier corresponding to the code.

  The access information storage unit 112 stores one or more access information. Access information is information related to access. The access here is an access to a storage location identified by a storage location identifier included in one or more pieces of management information stored in the management information storage unit 111. The access information is, for example, information for a provider to access a storage location identified by a storage location identifier and store information about itself there. The access information is also information for allowing the viewer to access the storage location identified by the storage location identifier and browse the information stored there, for example.

  The access information includes, for example, a code and a device identifier. The device identifier is information for identifying the terminal device 2 and other devices. The other device is, for example, an external terminal, a server, or the like, but the type and location thereof are not limited as long as the device can communicate with the information processing apparatus 1 via a network or the like. The device identifier is, for example, a MAC address or an IP address, but may be a user identifier.

  The user identifier is information for identifying the user of the terminal device 2. The user identifier is, for example, an e-mail address or a mobile phone number. However, the user information may be an address / name, an ID associated with a mail address or the like, or any information that can identify the user of the terminal device 2. Further, when the terminal device 2 is, for example, a mobile terminal or a PC dedicated to one user, the device identifier and the user identifier may be used together.

  For example, the access information preferably includes a code, a device identifier, and a user identifier. As a result, the authentication unit 135 (to be described later) performs a combination of a code and a user identifier included in the update information received by the update information reception unit 123 (to be described later), and a code and user included in the access information stored in the access information storage unit 112. The user of the terminal device 2 is authenticated by collating with the set of identifiers, and the update unit 136 described later changes the device identifier to another device identifier when the authentication result of the authentication unit 135 is authentication permission. be able to. Therefore, the user can provide information using the code using the terminal device 2 different from the terminal device 2 used when acquiring the code. In other words, for example, even if the code is acquired by a certain mobile terminal and then the model is changed to another mobile terminal, the code can be continuously used.

  Alternatively, it is more preferable that the access information includes, for example, a code, a device identifier, and a set of a user identifier and a password. By combining the password, the accuracy of authentication is improved and the risk of unauthorized use of the code can be reduced.

  The receiving unit 12 receives various instructions and various information. The various instructions are, for example, code generation instructions. The generation may be acquisition. The various information includes, for example, the access information described above, information corresponding to the acquisition code described above, update information described later, and the like. The receiving unit 12 normally receives various instructions and various types of information from the terminal device 2, but may also receive from a device other than the terminal device 2 (for example, an external server or an external terminal).

  The access information receiving unit 121 receives access information. A code included in the access information received by the access information receiving unit 121 may be referred to as a “reception code” below. The access information receiving unit 121 normally receives access information from the terminal device 2, but may receive this from a device other than the terminal device 2.

  The information receiving unit 122 receives information from the terminal device 2. More specifically, the information receiving unit 122 receives information (that is, information corresponding to the acquisition code) to be stored in the storage location described above from the terminal device 2. Note that information other than the information corresponding to the acquisition code is received by the receiving unit 12.

  The update information receiving unit 123 receives update information from the terminal device 2. The update information is information for updating the access information stored in the access information storage unit 112. Updating the access information usually means changing the device identifier included in the stored access information to another device identifier. However, the access information can be updated, for example, by changing the code included in the stored access information to another code, or changing the stored access information to another access information. .

  The update information includes a code and a device identifier. The code included in the update information is usually the same as the code included in the stored access information, but may be different. On the other hand, the device identifier included in the update information is usually different from the device identifier included in the stored access information, but may be the same.

  The update information also preferably includes, for example, a code, a device identifier, and a user identifier, and more preferably includes a code, a device identifier, a user identifier and a password pair.

  The processing unit 13 performs various processes. The various processes are, for example, processes of the code acquisition unit 131, the initial processing unit 132, the symbol code generation unit 133, the code storage unit 134, the authentication unit 135, the update unit 136, and the like. The various types of processing include various types of determination and determination described in the flowchart. Other processes will be described in a timely manner.

  The code acquisition unit 131 acquires a unique code in response to reception of a code generation instruction by the reception unit 12. The unique code is, for example, a URL, but may be an ID. URL is the URL of the storage location. The ID is an ID of the acquired code. ID is also ID of the symbol code mentioned later, for example.

  Obtaining a unique code is, for example, obtaining one unique code from a code table in which one or more unique codes (for example, URL) are registered, but a predetermined algorithm (for example, , Function) may be used to generate a unique code. The generation of the unique code may be, for example, encoding unique data with a function or the like.

  The initial processing unit 132 performs initial processing. The initial process includes a process of securing an information storage location corresponding to the code acquired by the code acquisition unit 131 (that is, the acquired code). The acquisition code may be a URL, for example.

  That is, for example, the initial processing unit 132 performs a process of securing the storage location specified by the URL acquired by the code acquisition unit 131. The process to be secured is, for example, a folder creation process specified by a URL. Moreover, the process to ensure may be the process which links the folder name of the created folder to the user identifier for identifying the user of the folder, for example.

  The process to be secured may be, for example, a process in which default information, template information, information on how to use the storage location, and the like are stored in advance in the created folder. That is, default information or the like may be stored in advance in the reserved storage location, or no information may be stored.

  Furthermore, the process to secure may be a process for initializing the storage location, for example. Initializing is, for example, deleting stored information, but may be returning to default information or the like. That is, a storage location secured by a certain user may be reused by another user.

  Thus, the process to be secured may be anything as long as it is a process for enabling the user to use the storage location.

  Then, for example, the initial processing unit 132 acquires a storage location identifier for identifying the reserved storage location, and stores management information including the acquired storage location identifier and the acquired code in the management information storage unit 111.

  Further, the initial process usually includes a process of accumulating access information having an acquisition code in the access information storage unit 112. That is, the initial processing unit 132 accumulates, for example, access information having the code acquired by the code acquisition unit 131 in the access information storage unit 112. Note that the access information accumulated in the initial process does not yet have a device identifier, a user identifier, or the like.

  The symbol code generation unit 133 generates code information. The code information is a symbol code in which a code is embedded. The symbol code is, for example, a QR code, but may be a two-dimensional code other than the QR code or a barcode (also referred to as a one-dimensional code), and the type thereof is not limited. The two-dimensional code other than the QR code is, for example, DataMatrix (registered trademark), MaxiCode (registered trademark), or the like, but may be any code as long as it has information in two directions.

  The code information is, for example, a QR code in which the code is embedded, a bar code in which the code is embedded, or the like, but may be the code itself.

  The code storage unit 134 stores a pair of a code and a device identifier. Specifically, when the device identifier corresponding to the code included in the access information received by the access information receiving unit 121 is not stored in the access information storage unit 112, the code storage unit 134 displays the device identifier included in the access information, The access information is stored in the access information storage unit 112 in association with the code included in the access information.

  The authentication unit 135 authenticates the terminal device 2. The authentication of the terminal device 2 may be, for example, authentication of the terminal device 2 itself or authentication of the user of the terminal device 2. The authentication unit 135 performs authentication using the access information received from the terminal device 2 by the access information receiving unit 121 and the access information stored in the access information storage unit 112.

  For example, authentication is performed as follows using a device identifier such as a MAC address and a password registered in advance. That is, a set of pairs of device identifiers and passwords is stored in the storage unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1. The device identifier is stored in the terminal storage unit 21 of the terminal device 2, the terminal accepting unit 22 accepts a password via a touch panel or the like, and the terminal transmitting unit 23 accepts the stored device identifier. The received password is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

  The reception unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 receives the device identifier and the password, and the authentication unit 135 determines that the received device identifier and password are the device identifier and password stored in the storage unit 11. It is determined whether or not a pair of the pair matches, and if they match, an authentication permission authentication result is acquired. If they do not match, for example, an authentication non-permitted authentication result is acquired, but nothing may be acquired (the same applies hereinafter).

  Alternatively, the authentication may be performed using a device identifier and a user identifier such as a mail address. In other words, the storage unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1 stores a set of pairs of device identifiers and user identifiers. The terminal storage unit 21 of the terminal device 2 stores a device identifier and a user identifier, and the terminal transmission unit 23 sets a pair of the stored device identifier and the received user identifier as the information processing device 1. Send to.

  The reception unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 receives the device identifier and the user identifier, and the authentication unit 135 receives the device identifier and the user identifier stored in the storage unit 11. It is determined whether or not it matches one of the set of pairs, and if they match, an authentication permission authentication result is acquired.

  Alternatively, the authentication may be performed using a device identifier and a combination of a user identifier and a password. That is, the storage unit 11 of the information processing apparatus 1 stores a set of pairs of a device identifier and a set of user identifier and password. The terminal storage unit 21 of the terminal device 2 stores a device identifier and a user identifier, the terminal reception unit 22 receives a password, and the terminal transmission unit 23 stores a stored device identifier. The user identifier and the set of accepted user identifiers are transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

  The reception unit 12 of the information processing apparatus 1 receives the device identifier and the set of user identifier and password, and the authentication unit 135 stores the received set of device identifier, user identifier and password in the storage unit 11. It is determined whether or not a pair of the stored device identifier, user identifier, and password pair matches one pair, and if they match, an authentication permission authentication result is acquired.

  The update unit 136 updates the access information stored in the access information storage unit 112 using the access information received by the update information reception unit 123 only when the authentication unit 135 obtains an authentication permission authentication result. As described above, the access information includes, for example, a code and a device identifier. Alternatively, the access information may include a code, a device identifier, and a password, or may include a set of a code, a device identifier, a user identifier, and a password.

  The output unit 14 outputs various information. The various information is, for example, the code information described above. Output includes, for example, display on a display, sound output from a speaker, printout with a printer, storage on a recording medium, delivery of processing results to another processing device or another program, and transmission to an external device. This concept includes transmission and the like.

  The code information output unit 141 outputs code information regarding the code acquired by the code acquisition unit 131. The code information output unit 141 prints out the code information by, for example, a printer, but may transmit the code information to a device such as the terminal device 2 or may deliver it to another processing device or another program. Note that the printed code information may be received by the terminal receiving unit 22 configuring the terminal device 2 and stored in the terminal storage unit 21, for example. Further, the code information transmitted to the terminal device 2 may be received by the terminal receiving unit 24 configuring the terminal device 2 and stored in the terminal storage unit 21. That is, for example, the device such as the terminal device 2 may receive code information printed out by the information processing device 1 using a printer, or the information processing device 1 may receive, for example, a browser of the device such as the terminal device 2. Code information may be written. Alternatively, the code information output unit 141 may store the code information in a recording medium or display it on a display, and the output mode is not limited.

  The code information output unit 141 outputs the code information generated by the symbol code generation unit 133, for example.

  For example, the code information output unit 141 prints one or more printed materials including the code information generated by the symbol code generation unit 133. The printed material is, for example, a business card, a label, a sticker, a postcard or the like, but may be a pamphlet or a flyer, but the type is not limited. The printing is, for example, printing out by a printer, but it may be output as a PDF file or the like, and the mode is not limited.

  Specifically, the code information output unit 141 prints a design code such as a QR code, for example, on one or more business cards. The operator may sell one or more business cards printed with a design code to the provider.

  Alternatively, the code information output unit 141 may print the design code on one or more stickers. The seal has, for example, a size that can be attached to a blank portion of a business card. The operator may sell one or more stickers printed with a design code to the provider. The provider attaches one or more purchased stickers to his / her business card.

  Alternatively, the code information output unit 141 may print the symbol code on, for example, one or more labels. An operator sells one or more labels printed with a design code to a provider, and the provider attaches each purchased one or more labels to one or more products sold by the operator. Good.

  In the flowchart of FIG. 3, the process starts in response to power-on of the terminal device 2 or activation of the program, and the process is terminated by power-off or a process end interrupt. However, the trigger for starting or ending the process does not matter.

  Hereinafter, a specific operation of the information system in the present embodiment will be described. In addition, the following description can be variously changed and does not limit the present invention.

  The information system of this example includes an information processing device 1 and two or more terminal devices 2. The information processing apparatus 1 is a server of an operator who operates an information system. One of the two or more terminal devices 2 is a mobile terminal of the user AA that uses the information system (hereinafter may be referred to as the terminal device 2A), and the other one is a PC dedicated to the user BB (hereinafter referred to as the terminal device 2A). , Terminal device 2B).

  For example, two or more pieces of management information as shown in FIG. 4 can be stored in the management information storage unit 111. FIG. 4 is a data structure diagram of management information. The management information has a code and a storage location identifier. Each of the two or more pieces of management information stored is associated with an ID (for example, “1”, “2”, etc.).

  For example, the management information corresponding to the ID “1” (hereinafter sometimes referred to as management information 1) has a code “XXX” and a storage location identifier “aaa”. Also, the management information (management information 2) corresponding to the ID “2” has a code “YYY” and a storage location identifier “bbb”.

  The access information storage unit 112 can store, for example, two or more pieces of access information as shown in FIG. FIG. 5 is a data structure diagram of access information. The access information has a code and a device identifier. Note that the access information may also include one or more information of a user identifier or a password. Each of the stored two or more pieces of access information is associated with an ID (for example, “1”, “2”, etc.).

  For example, the access information 1 corresponding to the ID “1” has a code “XXX” and a device identifier “AA” that also serves as a user identifier. The management information 2 includes a code “YYY” and a device identifier “BB” that also serves as a user identifier.

(Example 1: Example of a sticker attached to a business card)
Now, the user AA will obtain a code to provide various information about himself, such as self-introduction such as career and hobbies, information on the company where he / she is working, to each of two or more partners who exchange business cards. It is said. At this time, neither the management information 1 nor the management information 2 is stored in the management information storage unit 111.

  The user AA operates the touch panel of the terminal device 2A to input a code acquisition instruction. In this example, for example, an address / name, order information, credit card information, and the like are also input together with an acquisition instruction. Note that the order information is information related to the order of the seal printed with the code. The order information includes, for example, type information “business card sticker” and number information “100. The credit card information is information related to the credit card. The credit card information includes, for example, a card number, an expiration date. Etc.

  In the terminal device 2A, the terminal reception unit 22 receives the generation instruction and the like, and the terminal transmission unit 23 sets the received generation instruction and the like in pairs with the device identifier “AA” stored in the terminal storage unit 21. Transmit to the processing device 1.

  In the information processing apparatus 1, the reception unit 12 receives the generation instruction and the like, and the code acquisition unit 131 acquires a unique code “XXX”. The code “XXX” is specifically a URL such as “http://www.abc...”, For example.

  The initial processing unit 132 secures a storage location of information corresponding to the acquired code “XXX”, and management information 1 having the acquisition code “XXX” and a storage location identifier “aaa” for identifying the reserved storage location Are stored in the management information storage unit 111. The storage location identifier “aaa” is specifically the folder name “aaa” of the folder in which information corresponding to the code “XXX” is stored, for example.

  In addition, the initial processing unit 132 stores the access information 1 having the acquisition code “XXX” in the access information storage unit 112. At this time, the access information 1 does not yet have a device identifier or the like.

  The code information output unit 141 outputs a symbol code (in this example, a QR code) in which the acquisition code “XXX” is embedded to the printer. A seal sheet having 100 seals is set in the printer. Each seal is plain white and has a size that can be attached to the margin of a business card. The printer prints a QR code on each sticker of the sticker sheet. The seal sheet having 100 seals printed with the QR code is sent from the operator to the user AA using the address and name received together with the generation instruction.

  On the other hand, the processing unit 13 uses the credit card information received together with the generation instruction to perform processing related to the payment for the 100 seals. The process related to payment may be the payment process itself, or may be a process of transmitting information necessary for payment (for example, credit card information, payment amount, etc.) to the payment server of the financial institution.

  When the user AA receives the sticker sheet, the user AA removes one sticker from the sticker sheet and pastes it on the margin of his business card. Thereby, for example, one business card having a QR code as shown in FIG. 6 is completed. User AA photographs the QR code of the business card using the camera of terminal device 2A.

  In the terminal device 2A, the terminal reception unit 22 receives the code “XXX” embedded in the QR code captured by the camera, and the terminal transmission unit 23 stores the code “XXX” and the terminal storage unit 21. The access information having the device identifier “AA” is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

  In the information processing apparatus 1, the access information receiving unit 121 receives the access information. In the access information storage unit 112, a code (reception code) “XXX” included in the received access information and a device identifier (for example, “BB” other than the device identifier (hereinafter, device identifier) “AA” included in the access information. ”) Is not stored, and the device identifier corresponding to the reception code“ XXX ”is not stored. Therefore, the code storage unit 134 converts the device identifier“ AA ”to the reception code“ AA ”. In association with XXX ″, the information is stored in the management information storage unit 111. As a result, the device identifier “AA” is added to the access information 1 that has not yet had the device identifier. At this time, the access information storage unit 112 stores the code “XXX” and the device identifier “AA”. As a result, the access information 1 having the following is stored.

  Thus, the initial process regarding the user AA is completed, and information to that effect is transmitted from the information processing apparatus 1 to the terminal apparatus 2A. The user AA again reads the QR code of the business card with the camera, and further inputs information about himself such as self-introduction via an input device such as a touch panel.

  In the terminal device 2A, the terminal receiving unit 22 receives the code “XXX” embedded in the captured QR code, and further receives the input information. The terminal transmission unit 23 transmits the access information having the code “XXX” and the device identifier “AA” to the information processing device 1, and further receives the received information as a pair with the device identifier “AA”. 1 to send.

  In the information processing apparatus 1, first, the access information receiving unit 121 receives the access information. In the access information storage unit 112, the access information having the received code “XXX” and the device identifier other than the device identifier “AA” is not stored this time, but the device identifier “XXX” corresponding to the received code “XXX” is stored. Since “AA” is stored this time (that is, access information 1 having the code “XXX” and the device identifier “AA” is stored), the information reception unit 122 uses the device identifier “AA”. Information from the identified terminal device 2A can be received. Therefore, next, the information receiving unit 122 receives the information, and the processing unit 13 stores the information in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier “bbb” corresponding to the reception code “XXX”.

  This completes the acquisition of the code “XXX” by the user AA and the storage of information in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier “aaa” corresponding to the acquisition code “XXX”.

  Thereafter, the user AA exchanges business cards with the user BB. The user BB photographs the QR code of the business card received from the user AA using the camera of the terminal device 2B.

  In the terminal device 2B, the terminal receiving unit 22 receives the code “XXX” embedded in the QR code, and the terminal transmitting unit 23 receives the code “XXX” and the device identifier “stored in the terminal storage unit 21”. Access information having “BB ″” is transmitted to the information processing apparatus 1.

  In the information processing apparatus 1, the access information receiving unit 121 receives the access information. Since the access information 1 having the received code “XXX” and the device identifier “AA” other than the device identifier “BB” is stored in the access information storage unit 112, the output unit 14 receives the received code “XXX”. The information stored in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier “aaa” corresponding to “aaa” (that is, information related to the user AA) is transmitted to the terminal device 2B identified by the device identifier “BB”. . The storage unit 11 stores guidance information for new users, and the output unit 14 transmits the guidance information together with information about the user AA. The guidance information includes a description regarding a procedure for acquiring a code and accumulating information.

  In the terminal device 2B, the terminal receiving unit 24 receives the above information and the like, and the terminal output unit 26 outputs the received information and the like to the display. Thereby, for example, a screen as shown in FIG. 7 is displayed on the display of the terminal device 2B. This screen consists of two or more character strings corresponding to the received information: “XX Company Representative Director AA”, “Career: After graduating from XX University, after working for XX Corporation ... "," Company Information: Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo ... Kansai Branch: Chuo-ku, Osaka ... In addition, this screen is a character string corresponding to the received guidance information “Guidance: Information about customers who see this screen can also be widely provided to third parties using codes. The procedure also includes "...".

  The user BB can easily obtain detailed information regarding the user AA by referring to the screen. Further, the user BB acquires a code according to the guidance on the screen and accumulates information on the user BB itself, so that the third party such as the user AA can widely learn the information. The information regarding the user BB itself includes, for example, detailed product information (for example, introduction of producers, cooking methods, etc.) regarding products (for example, vegetables and fruits) sold by the user BB.

(Example 2: Example of labels attached to products)
Although the detailed processing procedure is the same as described above, the information processing device 1 acquires a unique code “YYY” in response to a code acquisition instruction from the terminal device 2B. Further, the information processing apparatus 1 secures a storage location of information corresponding to the acquisition code “YYY”, acquires the storage location identifier “bbb”, and obtains the acquisition code “YYY” and the storage location identifier “bbb”. The management information 2 (see FIG. 4) is stored in the management information storage unit 111. Furthermore, the information processing apparatus 1 accumulates the access information 2 having the acquisition code “YYY” in the access information storage unit 112, and displays the symbol code (bar code in this example) in which the acquisition code “YYY” is embedded in the terminal Transmit to device 2B.

  A printer capable of printing a label attached to a product and a barcode reader capable of reading a barcode printed on the label are connected to the terminal device 2B. The terminal device 2B outputs basic product information such as a product name and price and the barcode to the printer, and the printer prints the product information and the barcode on a plain white label. The barcode printed on the label is read by the barcode reader, and the access information having the code “YYY” and the device identifier “BB” embedded in the read barcode is transferred from the terminal device 2B to the information processing device. 1 is transmitted.

  The information processing apparatus 1 receives the access information and adds the device identifier “BB” to the access information 2 of the access information storage unit 112. Thereafter, the information processing apparatus 1 receives the access information from the terminal device 2B again, and further receives information about the user BB, and stores the storage location identifier “bbb” corresponding to the code “YYY” included in the access information. The received information is stored in the storage location identified by.

  The label on which the product information and the barcode are printed is attached to the product sold by the user BB. When a consumer takes a barcode with a label attached to a product with a portable terminal, the consumer has a code “YYY” embedded in the barcode and a device identifier (for example, “CC”) of the portable terminal. Access information is transmitted from the portable terminal to the information processing apparatus 1.

  The information processing apparatus 1 receives the access information, and stores the information stored in the storage location identified by the storage location identifier “bbb” corresponding to the code “YYY” with the device identifier “CC”. Send to the terminal. Thereby, detailed product information such as introduction of the producer of the product and cooking method is displayed on the display of the consumer's mobile terminal.
