It searches whether or not the price is recorded for the same product having the same factor in the price database, and transmits the search result to the mobile terminal 100.

On the other hand, when the reference button b9 is pressed on the mobile terminal 100, the reference price request signal and the product information are transmitted to the management device 200, and the management device 200 searches the price based on the reference price request signal and the product information. By means 201g, the price recorded in the price database for the same product as the product information is read out and transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 as a reference price. This will be further described below.

The factor consideration button b8 needs to reflect the price fluctuation factor in the selling price in consideration of the price fluctuation factor when the selling price of the product to be shipped is determined by the producer when the price fluctuation factor exists or is considered to have occurred. It is used when you think that there is.

When the factor consideration button b8 of FIG. 22A is pressed (when Y is set in S717 of FIG. 9C), the price fluctuation factor information stored in the storage unit 104 is read out, and the factor input screen SC12 is displayed as illustrated in FIG. 22B. Transition (S718). In the second display area da2, the product size, the proportion of defects, etc. can be selectively input as internal factors, and the weather, weather, climate, production area, etc. can be selectively input as external factors by touching a button.
Intrinsic factors such as product size and defect ratio can be determined by the producer by looking at the product to be shipped.
In addition, the time of the shipping date (for example, [weekdays] [holidays] [end of the month] [beginning of the month], which is an extrinsic factor), and the weather on the shipping date (for example, temperature on the day, [sunny] [cloudy] [rain] [snow] [Frost] [Cold] [Warm], weather (weather a few days before the day), climate (long-term temperature, rainfall, etc.) are based on the producer's own knowledge and experience, or public broadcast weather information, weather Can be decided based on forecasts, etc.

When selecting factor consideration, above the confirm button, "default" is one of the reference prices, in this case, if the reference price is the upper limit, average, lower limit, the average amount (for all labeler users) or , The selling price, upper limit, lower limit, average (personal data) that sold the best in the producer's history data are displayed, and each time the internal factor or external factor is selected, it is recommended according to the selected factor. Updated to price. When multiple factors are selected, the recommended price is updated according to the AND condition. If you press the select button again, it will be canceled. Producers can also simulate various conditions on this screen.

In the example of FIG. 22B (a), the average price of the upper limit, the average, and the lower limit of all the labeler users is displayed as a reference price. In the example of (b) of FIG. 22B, "rain" of the external material factor is selected, and the reference price based on the condition is displayed. In the example of FIG. 22B (c), the internal / external requirement “small” and the external factor “rain” are selected, and the reference price based on the AND condition is displayed.

When any of these price fluctuation factors is selected (when Y in S719), the price fluctuation factor information is transmitted to the management device 200 together with the reference price request signal (S720). Based on the received reference price request and price fluctuation factor information, the management device 200 searches the price database of the management device 200 to see if the price of the same product having the same factor is recorded. If there is a corresponding price, the notification means notifies the mobile terminal 100 of the price as a reference price. If there is no corresponding price, the information without the reference price is notified to the mobile terminal 100.

If there is no reference price corresponding to the selected or input price fluctuation factor in the price database of the management device 200, a condition input means is added to the notification means, and the condition input means is used as the price fluctuation factor. By inputting the corresponding predetermined conditions, the selling price notified by the notification means can be changed by a predetermined multiplication rate, and this can be used as a reference price.

The price fluctuation factors can be input by the producer himself regarding the intrinsic factors (product size, defect ratio, production area, etc.), but can also be input by displaying the screen in advance and selecting a button. The price calculation logic may be changed according to the selected intrinsic factor.
Regarding extrinsic factors (weather, weather, climate, etc. on the shipping date), big data such as weather information and weather forecasts are provided in the AI (artificial brain) provided in the management device 200, or more preferably in the cloud. The forecast information may be automatically output based on the above, and the forecast information may be used. Further, the AI may be made to automatically calculate the reference price based on the prediction information.
If big data is used, the reference price can be calculated from the data larger than the sales history of the producer and the product registered in the label printer, so that it can be expected that a more accurate reference price will be calculated.
Further, the price range of the same product in the order of sales in a certain period may be selectively displayed. It may be possible to specify by store, by chain, by period, and so on.

Even if the management device 200 does not output the reference price based on the price fluctuation factor, the following method can be used to assist the producer in determining an appropriate selling price. That is, the calculation means (CPU) provided in the management device 200 calculates and graphs the daily average value of the shipment quantity and price of each producer for 2 to 3 days before shipment, and graphs the graph. Is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100 of the producer who requests. The producer can determine his / her selling price by referring to the daily average value.

Weather and climate affect the growth and yield of agricultural products. If the number of consecutive sunny days or the rainfall period becomes longer than a certain value, the growth and yield will be suppressed. This is especially true for root vegetables and leaves such as onions and potatoes. Therefore, the management device 200 is provided with a monitor for monitoring the number of consecutive sunny days, the rainfall period, or the amount of rainfall in the production area of the producer who ships to the direct sales office, and the mobile terminal 100 of the producer who requests the information measured by the monitor. provide. The producer can estimate the degree of growth and yield of agricultural products based on the number of consecutive sunny days received, the period of rainfall or the amount of rainfall and experience. When it is estimated that the growth and yield are lower than usual, the selling price can be set higher.

Using IoT and AI, it is possible to easily predict or estimate the degree of growth and yield of agricultural products based on the number of consecutive sunny days, the period of rainfall and the amount of rainfall, based on the accumulated data of the past several years. The predicted value or estimated value can be one important factor in determining an appropriate selling price at that time.

When the mobile terminal 100 receives the reference price from the management device 200 (when it is Y in S721), the mobile terminal 100 displays the received reference price at the reference price display position provided near the main body price display position in FIG. 22C. (S722). When the notification information without the reference price is received from the management device 200, "None" is displayed at the reference price display position.

The producer who pressed the factor consideration button b8 has the price (own price) displayed at the main unit price display position in FIG. 22C and the reference price (including none) displayed at the reference price display position. (S723), select one of the price determination buttons b10 and b11 (S724), and press the confirmation button b5 (when Y in S725) to determine the price of the product to be shipped (S726). )can do.

On the other hand, when the reference button b9 on the price input screen SC11 of FIG. 22A is pressed (when Y in S727), the information input to the mobile terminal 100 after touching the "Proceed to issue reservation" button b2 in FIG. That is, product information including the producer name, shipping date, product name, product size, and the like is transmitted to the management device 200 together with the reference price request signal (S728). The management device 200 searches for the price of the same product of another producer from the latest sales information in the sales information database based on the reference price request (S729), and transmits the search result to the mobile terminal 100 as a reference price. ..

When the mobile terminal 100 receives the reference price from the management device 200 (when it is Y in S721), it displays it at the reference price display position in FIG. 22C. In this case as well, the producer weighs the self-price displayed at the main unit price display position and the reference price displayed at the reference price display position (S723), and either of the price determination buttons b10 and b11. By selecting (S724) and pressing the confirmation button b5 (when Y in S725), the price of the product to be shipped can be determined (S726).
Although the producer can determine the comparative consideration of the self-price and the reference price and the price of the product to be shipped, it is desirable that the management device 200 is used.

Since the recommended or reference price is described on the previous page, the recommended price or the reference price is displayed in FIG. 22C. If a price is set in the product master, the "set price" is displayed in the figure. In addition, the recommended price based on the factor selection on the previous page is displayed in the "reference price" in this figure, and the default displayed price on the previous page is displayed if no operation is performed. Considering operability, if you consider the operability, after clearing with the numeric keypad input, the numerical value of the numeric keypad input is displayed, and if you press the confirm button as it is, the value will be the recommended price or the reference price. It can also be attached. The same applies to FIGS. 23 and 24A.

When the price determination is completed, the screen of the display unit 102 transitions to the issue number input screen SC13 as shown in FIG. 23 (S730 in FIG. 9D). In the issue number input screen SC10, characters prompting the user to press the confirmation button b5 after inputting the number of labels to be issued in the first display area da1 are displayed, and in the second display area da2 of the price input screen SC11 of FIG. 22A. The name of the place of origin and the price of the main unit entered earlier are additionally displayed in the part that was not displayed. Then, after inputting the number of issued sheets from the numeric keypad b7 (when Y in S731) and pressing the confirm button b5 (when Y in S732), the condition of the label print issuance reservation is satisfied.

When the confirmation button b5 is pressed after inputting the number of issued sheets (when Y is displayed in S732), the screen of the display unit 102 transitions to the label issuance reservation screen SC14 as shown in FIG. 24A (S733), and the first display area da1 is displayed. It is displayed that the label issuance reservation is possible. The display content of the second display area da2 is the same as the display content of the second display area da2 in FIG.

Then, when the confirmation button b5 of the second display area da2 is pressed (when Y in S734), the label issuance reservation information whose print content is the content displayed in the second display area da2 is the management device 200 or the label printer. It is transmitted to 300 (S735). S734 in FIG. 9D corresponds to S8 in FIG. When a reply signal indicating that the issuance reservation information has been received is received from the label printer 300 (when Y in S92), the label issuing screen SC15 is displayed on the display unit 102 as shown in FIG. 24B (FIG. 9D). S93).

4.0 Label Printer The label printer 300 is often installed in the backyard of the direct sales office where the producer carries in the products, and the producer operates the label printer 300 to attach it to the products to be shipped to the direct sales office. Is issued.

The operation method of the sales management system is to receive a shipping schedule and a label issuance reservation from the producer in advance, and issue a predetermined label based on the contents of the label issuance reservation at the time of shipment of the producer.

Labels must be printed with display items that meet product labeling standards. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, label issuance and affixing are rationalized, and producer information, product information, and shipping schedule information of each producer are transmitted in advance from the mobile terminal 100 to the management device 200 and stored. Then, the producer downloads information from the management device 200 with the label printer 300 on the day before shipment or before shipment, issues a label, and attaches the label to the product. The mobile terminal 100 is connected to the management device 200 via a communication line, and various information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 to the management device 200 and stored in the information required for the shipping schedule of the agricultural products delivered by the producer and the issuance of labels. Will be done.

FIG. 25 shows the overall configuration of the label printer 300. As shown in the figure, the label printer 300 has a CPU 301, a storage unit 302, a communication unit 303, a label issuing unit 304, and a display unit 305 connected to each other by a bus line 307. The storage unit 302 includes a flash memory and other ROM (Read Only Memory) 302a and a RAM (Random Access Memory) 302b.

The CPU 301 is a control means for controlling the entire processing operation of the label printer 300. Then, the CPU 301 performs predetermined control described later based on the signal received from the mobile terminal 100 or the management device 200.

The ROM 302a corresponds to a main storage device, and stores various setting data and the like used by the CPU 301 for arithmetic processing in addition to a program executed by the CPU 301. In addition, instead of ROM 302a, another storage device such as a hard disk may be used.

The RAM 302b corresponds to an auxiliary storage device, and provides a work area when the CPU 301 executes arithmetic processing. Further, the RAM 302b is provided with a temporary storage area for storing data input by the operation of the mobile terminal 100 or the management device 200.

Further, the producer file and the product file are stored in the RAM 302b. As will be described later, when the label printer 300 performs the label issuing process, a part of the producer data and the product data called from the producer file and the product file of the management device 200 in response to the request from the mobile terminal 100 It is downloaded and stored in the producer file and the product file of the RAM 302b. Instead of downloading the producer file and the product file from the management device 200, the producer file and the product file may be stored and stored in advance from the mobile terminal 100.

The communication unit 303 is a transmission / reception means for communicating between the label printer 300 and the management device 200 or the mobile terminal 100 via a net line. Communication with the management device 200 may be performed via a LAN.

Each time the label printer 300 finishes issuing a label, the information (label information) printed on the label, that is, the producer code, the producer name, the product code, the product name, the production area name, the shipping date, the expiration date, The content, the tax-included price, and the number of labels issued are temporarily stored in the RAM 302b, and the stored label information is transmitted to the management device 200 via the communication unit 303. The transmission may be performed immediately after the label issuance is completed, or may be performed at predetermined time intervals.

The management device 200 receives and records each label information transmitted from the label printer 300, classifies the label information by producer code or product code, aggregates the information, and records the label issuance history. Further, by using the label information transmitted from the POS terminal 400 described later, various management processes for the label information having the matching producer code, for example, sales management, inventory management, and settlement management for each producer. , Agricultural chemicals management, etc.

The management information obtained by the management device 200 is stored in the storage unit 203 of the management device 200 as sales management information, inventory management information, settlement management information, pesticide management information, and the like. The stored management information can be sent by e-mail to the mobile terminal 100 at the request of the producer or the store.
Agricultural chemical management and agricultural chemicals management information will be described in detail later.

Prior to its use, the label printer 300 has a function of downloading information such as a producer file and a product file from the management device 200 and performing an opening process for updating the master. In addition, the label printer 300 has a function of performing a closing process for uploading the daily label issuance record to the management device 200.

The producer file and the product file may be stored in the label printer 300 instead of being downloaded from the management device 200 to the label printer 300.

When the producer issues a label at home and attaches it to the agricultural product for delivery, the delivery may be confirmed by reading the bar code of the label attached to the agricultural product with the mobile terminal 100 of the direct sales office. Or, the label issuance record sent from the label printer 300 used by the producer to the management device 200 is displayed on the screen of the management system, the quantity of the received label issuance record is confirmed, and if there is no problem in the quantity, there is no problem. , You may decide as the delivery record of the producer by batch confirmation.

When the label issuance is completed in the label printer 300, the label issuance record is transmitted to the management device 200 as a delivery record. Based on this label issuance record information, the label charge amount to the producer in the settlement process (day closing process) is updated.

(a) When the label issuance reservation is transmitted to the management device 200 The operation flow of the management device 200 when the issuance reservation information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 to the management device 200 is as shown in FIG. 26. First, when there is a request for issuance reservation (when Y in S21), it is checked by the producer code whether or not the request source is a registered producer (when Y in S22). When the producer code is registered (when Y in S23), the label printer 300 requests the mobile terminal 100 to transmit print data indicating the print content (S24). When the print data is received (when it is Y in S25), the print data and the producer code (issue reservation information) are saved in the memory (not shown) (S26), and the issue reservation information is stored in the label printer 300. (S27). After transmitting the issuance reservation information to the label printer 300, the process returns to S21 and waits for the next issuance reservation request.

When the issuance reservation information is transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 to the management device 200, the management device 200 serves as a relay point for transmitting the issuance reservation information to the label printer 300 for label issuance. When the management device 200 receives a signal or the like from the label printer 300 that the label issuance corresponding to the issuance reservation information is completed, the management device 200 uses the issuance reservation information previously stored in the memory and the issuance reservation information. It can be used to manage the sales of the producer who sent it. Regarding the information processing technology for sales management, the description of Patent Document 1 is incorporated.

In order for the producer who has made a label issuance reservation to have the label printer 300 issue a label, as shown in FIG. 27, the mobile terminal 100 gives an issue request signal to the label printer 300 (S91 in FIG. 9E). When the label printer 300 receives the issue request signal (when it is Y in S31 of FIG. 27), the label printer 300 checks the requester from the producer code included in the issue request signal (S32). When the requester is a registered producer (when S92 in FIG. 9E is Y; when S33 in FIG. 27 is Y), the print data stored in association with the producer code is read from the memory. (S34), this is given to the label issuing unit 304. The label issuing unit 304 prints and issues labels until the number of issued sheets reaches the number of issued sheets included in the print data (S35, 36).

(b) When the label issuance reservation is transmitted to the label printer 300 In the above, the producer sends the issuance reservation information from the mobile terminal 100 to the label printer 300 via the management device 200, and the mobile terminal 100 requests the label printer 300 to issue the label. Although an example in which a signal is given has been described, the following three examples are possible in the mode of making a label issuance reservation from the mobile terminal 100.

In the first embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 28, the producer M goes to the store S, operates the mobile terminal 100 provided in the store S, and Bluetooths between the mobile terminal 100 and the label printer 300. Label issuance reservations are made by enabling communication via short-range wireless devices such as, or via a USB cable or the like. A tablet is optimal for the mobile terminal 100 in this case, but a smartphone can also be used.

When using the mobile terminal 100 at a store, perform "master reception" and "store registration" with the authority of the clerk, and even if the producer is registered at that store, "I cannot log in" without looking at the store list. It can be clarified on the login screen, such as "There is no producer registration."

In the second embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 29, the producer M communicates between the mobile terminal 100 located at the home (including the shipping work place) H and the label printer 300 of the store S via the Internet line. The label issuance reservation is made. A tablet is optimal for the mobile terminal 100 in this case, but a smartphone can also be used.

When using the mobile terminal 100 at home, "store registration" and "store list" are valid, but it is sufficient that only the data of the producer who has logged in can be viewed. For store registration, you can request the administrator to register in advance by sending a direct sales office or e-mail to the management device, or you can apply for store registration on the cloud service and the administrator will approve the application. There is no particular limitation on the method of obtaining permission, such as performing.

When the reservation is completed at home, the management device (cloud service) issues a one-time password to the mobile terminal 100, which enables the reservation to be issued, using the label printer of the direct sales office. Then, when the one-time password is input to the label printer 300 at the store S, the label can be issued based on the reservation data.
The one-time password may be displayed on the screen of the mobile terminal 100 by a symbol code such as a one-dimensional code or a two-dimensional code, and the symbol code may be read by a scanner attached to a label printer for authentication. Further, instead of the one-time password, the producer ID and password may be used, or only the password may be used. In other words, it is possible to prevent other producers from accidentally issuing labels, or to prevent the use of label printers due to mischief or fraud, and since the authentication method is simple, the label issuance process can be performed smoothly. Have.

In the third embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, when the producer ships to a plurality of stores, for example, store 1 and store 2, and the store 1 and store 2 belong to the same company, the producer's mobile terminal The 100 can make a label issuance reservation to the label printers 300A and 300B of the store 1 and the store 2 at the same time. When the store 1 and the store 2 belong to two companies, the data for the two companies can be downloaded from the management device 200 to the mobile terminal 100 and the label printers 300A and 300B of each store can be reserved for label issuance at the same time. it can.

A producer who has made a reservation for issuance may come to the store and operate the label printer 300 by a known method to issue a predetermined number of labels on which the reserved contents are printed. Regarding the operation of the label printer 300 when the producer operates the label printer 300 to issue a label, the description of Patent Document 1 is incorporated.

When the label printer 300 that has received the issuance reservation information without going through the management device 200 issues the label, the label printer 300 manages the issuance reservation information related to the issued label for the sales management of the producer. Send to.

On the other hand, when the issuance reservation information is directly transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 to the label printer 300, the label printer 300 accepts the label issuance reservation and stores the received label issuance reservation information in the temporary memory. Then, when the producer who made the issuance reservation inputs the issuance command signal from the mobile terminal 100 to the label printer 300, the label printer 300 determines the predetermined contents based on the issuance reservation information stored in the temporary memory for the producer. Is issued a predetermined number of labels on which is printed.

[POS terminal]
The label printer 300 is connected to a POS terminal (not shown) 400 equipped with a barcode reader that reads the barcode of the label attached to the product. The POS terminal 400 is a terminal having a POS (point-of-sale information management) function, and when a customer brings a product (agricultural product) exhibited at a direct sales office to a product delivery port (cash register), the terminal 400 is used. It is a terminal operated by a clerk.

After the bar code of the label is read by the scanner, the POS terminal 400 transmits the label information read from the label to the management device 200 via the communication unit each time the settlement is completed. This transmission is executed when the CPU 301 determines that the settlement has been completed.

In this way, the label information transmitted from the label printer 300 is collected in the management device 200 as shipping information for each producer, and is stored in the shipping information storage area of the storage unit 203. In addition, label information transmitted from the POS terminal 400 is collected as sales information for each producer and stored in the sales information storage area of the storage unit 203. The selling price for each product included in the sales information for each producer stored in the storage unit 203 is, in part, searched as a reference price when determining the planned selling price of the producer.

In the management device 200, the CPU 201 constantly collates the label information stored in the shipping information storage area with the label information stored in the sales information storage area, and based on both label information matching the producer code, the CPU 201 constantly collates the label information and the label information stored in the sales information storage area. The arrival management means 201c is used for each producer's arrival management, the inventory management means 201d is used for inventory management, the sales management means 201e is used for sales management, and the settlement management means 201f is used for settlement management.

Since the processing methods of receipt management, inventory management, sales management, and settlement management are known as described in Patent Document 1, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

5.0 Agricultural chemical management (cultivation diary management)
The Agricultural Chemicals Control Law came into effect on July 1, 1948, and was finally revised on March 30, 2007. This law establishes a registration system for pesticides, regulates sales and use, etc., to optimize the quality of pesticides and ensure their safe and proper use, and to stabilize agricultural production and protect the health of the people. The purpose is to contribute to the conservation of the living environment of the people as well as to contribute.

[Second Embodiment]
The present invention checks the pesticide use status of producers requesting label issuance, and issues labels only when the label issuance permission conditions are met, so that the purchaser's anxiety regarding pesticides in products sold at direct sales offices is obtained. One of the purposes is to provide a label issuing device that can wipe out the above.

In order to achieve this purpose, it is first necessary to oblige producers to submit a cultivation diary as a system. The cultivation diary (base paper) can be published by each producer by operating the label printer 300.

As shown in FIG. 31, the label printer 300, which is one component of the label issuing device according to the second embodiment, has the label issuing request receiving means 301a, the cultivation diary issuing means 301b, and the cultivation diary reading means in the CPU 301. It has 301c, a pesticide checking means 301d, and a label printing issuance control means 301e.

The label issuance request receiving means 301a is a means for receiving the issuance reservation information in S91 of FIG. 9E of the label issuing apparatus according to the first embodiment in response to transmission to the label printer 300. The label issuance request receiving means 301a holds the received issuance reservation information until the result of the pesticide check described later is obtained. The cultivation diary issuing means 301b issues a cultivation diary (base paper) printed with predetermined items described later to the issuing port of the label printer 300 at the request of the producer who has transmitted the issuance reservation information. The cultivation diary reading means 301c reads the cultivation diary inserted into the predetermined insertion slot by a known reading means such as an OCR reader after being filled in by the producer. The pesticide check means 301d compares the pesticide information read from the cultivation diary with the judgment standard, and determines whether or not the standard is exceeded. When the label printing / issuing control means 301e determines that the pesticide information read from the cultivation diary by the pesticide checking means 301d exceeds the determination standard, the label printing / issuing of the label based on the reserved issuance reservation information is prohibited.

More specifically, the procedure (flow) from the issuance of the cultivation diary (base paper) to the permission / prohibition (issue control) of label issuance by each producer using the label printer 300 is as shown in FIG. ) Registration of pesticide master file, (b) issuance of cultivation diary, (c) entry of cultivation diary, (d) scanning of cultivation diary / pesticide check, (e) control of label issuance. (F) As an additional service to store customers, it is desirable to disclose the pesticide check results to the in-store monitor.

When the producer requests the issuance of a cultivation diary (base paper), first, as shown in FIG. 33, the item is input to the label printer 300 (S41). When an item is input, the pesticide information corresponding to the input item is downloaded from the Food and Agricultural Materials Safety Center (FAMIC) to the label printer 300 (S42), and a pesticide master file is created (S43). The pesticide master file contains limit values such as the pesticide name, the number of times of use, the dilution ratio, and the expiration date that can be used for the item as pesticide information.

Next, when the producer touches the cultivation diary issuance request button provided on the label printer 300 (when Y is set in S44), the cultivation diary (base paper) is issued from the predetermined issuing port of the label printer 300 (S45). .. As illustrated in Fig. 34, the first page (cover) of the cultivation diary (base paper) is provided with fields for entering the shipper number, name, item, cultivation scale, harvest start date, and shipping start date. Has been done. Fill in the drug name entry field at the bottom when pesticides that were not pre-printed on the second and subsequent pages are used (S46).

From the second page onward of the cultivation diary (base paper), the use of pesticides is described by the producer as illustrated in FIG. 35 (S46). FIG. 35 is an example of pesticides used in Dainagon azuki beans. The drug name is pre-printed. In this example, the pesticide list set for each item is printed and output. Since the number of times of use, the dilution ratio, and the time of use are printed in advance, the producer can carry out actual cultivation while confirming these.

Next, when the cultivation diary is read by the reading means provided in the label printer 300 (S47), the pesticide checking means 301d provided in the label printer 300 is activated (S48), and the read usage status is the above limit value. It is determined whether or not the above amount is exceeded (S49). When the pesticide checking means 301d determines that the usage status does not exceed the limit value, the label printing issuance control means 301e outputs a signal permitting the issuance of a label for the item to the label issuing unit 304 (S410).

However, when the result of the pesticide check determines that the usage status exceeds the limit value (in the case of Y in S49), the label printing issuance control means 301e sends a signal permitting the issuance of the label for the item to the label issuing unit. It is not given to 304 (S411). Further, the display unit 305 of the label printer 300 displays a reason for not permitting label issuance, such as an expiration date, an number of uses, or a dilution ratio (S412).

Therefore, products that do not pass the pesticide check cannot be labeled properly, and shipping must be abandoned. As a result, customers can purchase labeled products with peace of mind without worrying about pesticides.

Since the products labeled on the monitor in the store have passed the pesticide check, notifying the customer with text and / or video that they can purchase with confidence contributes to improving the reliability of the product.

As another embodiment of the present invention, the following items can be added.
The selling price of the same product is extracted from the history data of the label issuance record, and the average / upper and lower limit selling price, the predetermined calculation formula (multiplication rate due to factors), the best selling price (itself) with respect to the past sales, etc. If the price range, rank, etc. are displayed, it is effective as a reference price to support price determination.
In the pesticide check, the judgment method may be either not checked once during the sales conformity period, or it may be checked every time.
In addition, if the cultivation diary is provided as a cloud service, it is possible to flag the items approved by the person in charge of the direct sales office, including the cultivation diary input data, images of pesticide bags used, images of crops, etc. , Paperless is also possible. In this case, label issuance can be restricted by inquiring to the management device. In addition, when the paper is used, the label printer may mainly scan the cultivation diary and manage the flag of the result, so it is not always necessary to have a higher-level system such as a cloud service.

The present invention uses the following program to realize the main functions.
(A) Specified by the producer designation means for designating the producer, the product identification means for specifying the product, the producer information of the producer designated by the producer designation means, and the product identification means.
