(overall overview)
FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining businesses that use a waste management system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 1, in the waste management system 1, for example, an operator 21 supervises waste treatment by a waste disposal operator 23, a collection and transportation operator 25, an intermediate treatment operator 27, and a recycling operator 29. used to manage

FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the flow of waste treatment using the waste management system 1 shown in FIG.
In response to a request from the waste disposal company 23, the management company 21 provides the waste disposal company 23 with a mounting member or a waste storage bag to which the mounting member is attached.

When the discharge business operator 23 receives the first collection request from the operation business operator 21 , the operation business operator 21 makes a second collection request to the collection and transportation business operator 25 .
The collection and transportation company 25 collects the waste from the discharge company 23 and carries it to the intermediate treatment company 27 in response to the second collection request.

The intermediate treatment company 27 performs intermediate treatment of the received waste and ships the intermediately treated waste to the recycling company 29 .
The recycling business operator 29 performs the recycling processing of the received intermediately processed material.
Since the judgment as to whether it is a waste or a valuable resource changes depending on the purchase price of the valuable resource, in this embodiment, "waste" may include a valuable resource.

FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram of the waste management system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 3, the waste management system 1 includes, for example, an operator device 121 used by an operator 21, an operator device 123 used by an operator 23, and an operator 25. It has a collection and transportation business operator's device 125, an intermediate treatment business operator's device 127 used by the intermediate treatment business operator 27, and a recycling business operator's device 129 used by the recycling business operator 29. Each device is a computer such as a PC or a smart phone, for example.

Moreover, the waste management system 1 uses the mounting member 41, the reading device 51, and the relay device 53 issued by the collection and transportation company 25 and provided to the discharge company 23. FIG.

The management company 21 provides the discharge company 23 with the accommodation bag 345 provided with the mounting member 41 .
The mounting member 41 is provided at a position higher than ⅕ from the bottom in the height direction of the housing bag 345 . By providing the mounting member 41 at such a position, it is possible to avoid impairing the performance of the mounting member 41 due to the liquid accumulated at the bottom of the bag. The inventor found this condition experimentally.
By providing the mounting member 41 at such a position, it is possible to solve the problem that the RFID tag cannot detect the presence of water, and cannot detect the presence of watery garbage on the bottom or the presence of a puddle in rainy weather.
The waste disposal company 23 stores the waste 5 in the accommodation bag 345 , and the collection and transportation company 25 collects the accommodation bag 345 .

[Mounting member 41]
The mounting member 41 stores waste management information 43 . The mounting member 41 is configured to wirelessly communicate the waste management information 43 with the reading device 51 . The waste management information 43 stored in the mounting member 41 is read by the reader 51 without contact.

In one example, the waste management information 43 includes at least one of emitter information about the emitter who discharged the waste 5 , type information about the type of the waste 5 , and waste amount information about the amount of the waste 5 . Disposer information may include, but is not limited to, the disposer's name, the disposer's identification information, and the disposer's address. Examples of waste amount information include, but are not limited to, the volume of waste 5 and the number of wastes 5 .
Further, the waste management information 43 includes identification information specific to the RFID tag.

Type information includes, but is not limited to, whether it is combustible, whether it is non-combustible, whether it is recyclable waste, and industrial waste generated in business activities that belongs to a predetermined classification. whether it is a specially designated harmful industrial waste for special management, whether it is general waste other than industrial waste, and whether it is industrial waste generated in business activities Whether it is business-related general waste other than the above, whether it is household waste generated from the daily life of general households, whether it is specially designated hazardous specified management general waste among general waste or

For example, the mounting member 41 is an RFID (radio-frequency identification device). For example, the mounting member 41 communicates using short-range wireless communication technology. The mounting member 41 may be various members capable of communicating the waste management information 43 with the outside. Mounting includes attaching to an object from the outside, embedding inside, and integrally forming with another object.

For example, a person who sells the mounting member 41 sells the mounting member 41 with the waste management information 43 written in advance to the disposer. For example, a person who sells the mounting member 41 sells the mounting member 41 in which the related waste management information 43 is written in advance in a container for the waste 5 (for example, a box, a bag, etc.). For example, the waste disposal company device 123 may write the waste management information 43 . For example, the disposer may attach the attachment member 41 to the container before discarding it. The waste management information 43 may be freely rewritable in order to increase the degree of freedom, or may be unrewritable in order to ensure the accuracy of the information. When the waste management information 43 is sent, other information such as the date and time of reading may be sent.

[reading device 51]
The reader 51 is an RFID reader. The waste management information 43 regarding the waste 5 can be read from the mounting member 41 attached to the waste 5 .
The reading device 51 may be an imaging device. The imaging device is capable of capturing images. The image may be a still image or a moving image.

The reader reads the waste management information 43 from the mounting member 41 by communicating with the mounting member 41 .

For example, the reading device 51 is handheld and is configured to be able to read the waste management information 43 from the mounting member 41 existing within a readable range (for example, several meters). For example, a worker engaged in the treatment process of the waste 5 can use an input/output device (e.g., mechanical button, touch panel) while one or more mounting members 41 are within a readable range. By performing a predetermined operation, the reading unit 27 acquires the waste management information 43 from one or more mounting members 41 . The reading unit transmits the acquired waste management information 43 to the relay device 53 .

The reading unit acquires an external image via the imaging device. The reading unit executes image processing on the acquired image. For example, the reading unit performs image recognition processing on the image to specify the number of the waste 5, specify the type, recognize characters, and the like. For example, when the number of wastes 5 derived by the image recognition process does not match the number of the waste management information 43 read, the reading unit warns the worker via the input/output device (for example, a sound , images, vibrations, etc.). The reader may obtain other information such as the type of waste 5 from the image. The reading unit may transmit information derived by image recognition processing to the relay device 53 .

The reading device 51 may be a handy type attached to the waist of a worker (collector) or may be mounted on a waste transportation vehicle. When the worker throws the waste 5 into the container through the inlet of the vehicle, the reading device 51 reads the waste management information 43 from the mounting member 41 without contact.

[Relay device 53]
The relay device 53 can be mounted on, for example, a waste transportation vehicle. In other examples, the relay device 53 may be installed at other locations involved in the treatment process of the waste 5, such as a waste disposal site. The reading device 51 may be configured to communicate with the collection and transportation business operator device 125 without going through the relay device 53 .

The transaction data 141 and manifest data 145 shown in FIG. 3 are obtained, input, and managed by the operator device 121 (digital resource circulation) shown in FIG. The operating company device 121 (digital resource circulation) obtains in advance information on the waste generator and the waste from the waste generator via the Internet as information necessary for consignment contracts for waste collection, transportation, treatment and disposal. In other words, as a function, it is an acceptance contract consistent system. The operating company device 121 (digital resource circulation) manages the shipment of storage bags to be sent to the waste disposal company 23 and the number of storage bags held by the waste disposal company 23 in inventory. Inventory management is performed by subtracting the number of storage bags obtained by the reader 51 from the number of storage bags sent in advance. Conventionally, it was sent after receiving a contact from the discharger 23, but in the present invention, that contact is unnecessary, and the operator device 121 (digital resource circulation) can automatically instruct the sending. can. This has the effect of enhancing the convenience of both the discharge company 23 and the operation company 21 .
The relationship between digital resource circulation and RFID in FIG. 4 will be described.
Information such as the name, address, and telephone number of the waste disposal company 23 is registered in digital resource circulation. Therefore, the readable information obtained by coding the information of the discharge business 23 is recorded in advance on the mounting member (RFID tag) and in the receiving bag 345 (5) to be sent. A reader (RFID reader) reads the readable information (RFID tag) and transmits it from the relay device to the operator device 121 via the Internet. These are managed as transaction data. Since all information is managed from the discharge stage, the processing flow of waste or valuables can be grasped (visualized = "visualized").

In addition, as shown in FIG. 5, the waste management system 1 pre-distributes garbage bags with mounting members 41 to which information such as the generator, item, volume, etc. is added, and the operator who is the cooperating implementer of this project. Data will be grasped by linking information with the "Digital Resource Circulation", which is an acceptance contract integrated processing system already developed by 21. Specifically, information handled by each of the waste disposal business 23, the collection and transportation business 25, the intermediate processing business 27, and the recycling business 29 is input into the blockchain automatically or led by each time, so that waste or resources It is possible to grasp the flow of This understanding is hereinafter referred to as "visualization" in the present invention.
Conventionally, waste was grasped by manifests, but the present invention creates new value by managing information from discharge to recycling, including valuables.

[Operator device 121]
As shown in FIG. 2, operator device 121 has memory 151, processing unit 153, database 155, and database 157, for example. It also has a sixth communication unit. A sixth communication unit can communicate with other devices via the network 2 .
Operator device 121 may be capable of communicating with a plurality of relay devices 53 . Memory 151 stores management program 161 .

The processing unit 153 reads out the management program 161 from the memory 151 and executes it, thereby executing the processing of the operating company device 121 defined in this embodiment.

FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the manifest data 145, which is created and supported by the operator's device 121 shown in FIG. 3, and waste and resources. As used herein, "resources" mainly refers to valuables, although some wastes are not valuables. A thing of value is something that can be sold. The boundary between waste and valuables also fluctuates due to fluctuations in the selling price.
As shown in FIG. 6, the items discharged by the discharger 23 may include resources in addition to the waste 5 . In addition, there are cases in which the intermediately treated materials transported by the intermediate treatment operator 27 include resources in addition to wastes. The operator device 121 manages (traces) the actual state of the resource. This enables traceability including resources. In other words, it is possible to grasp the flow and amount of waste, including valuables, from discharge to disposal and recycling, which could not be achieved in the past.

The operator's device 121 creates and manages the transaction data 4 including information on resources not handled by the manifest data 145 in addition to assisting creation of the manifest data 145 .
In other words, the operating company device 121 registers and manages (for example, blockchain) all information that is not linked in the primary and secondary manifests, thereby “visualizing” the process from discharge to disposal and recycling, which could not be achieved in the past. ” will be done.

The management program 161 performs support processing for creating manifest data 145 including the following information.
・Disposer: Individual name, address, phone number ・Disposal place of business: Corporate name, address, phone number ・Waste type: One of the types stipulated by the law on waste disposal and cleaning

・Quantity, packaging, name of industrial waste, presence or absence of harmful substances, etc., disposal method ・intermediate treatment industrial waste ・place of final disposal ・Transporter: Individual name, address, telephone number・Disposal trustee: Individual or corporation, address, telephone ・Transshipment or storage: Corporate name, address, telephone number ・Transportation consignment: Name or name

・Date of completion of transportation ・Amount of valuables loaded ・Consignment of disposal: name or name ・Date of completion of disposal ・Date of final disposal ・Place of final disposal: name, address, telephone number

The overall operation of the waste management system 1 under the integrated control of the operator's device 121 will be described below.
FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining transaction data 4 generated by the waste management system 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIG. 7, in the transaction data 4, the discharge company and the collection and transportation company include, for example, 19 types of information from the 1st to 19th lines, which is the identification information of the mounting member 41. Each data is associated with an object (number).
The transaction data 4 are stored in the database 155 as normal data and also as a blockchain. Note that the transaction data 4 may be stored in either one.
In FIG. 7, the types and amounts of waste (discharged materials) on rows 5 and 13, the types of incoming materials on row 21, the types of processed materials on row 28, and the types of received materials on row 32 include: Information on not only waste but also valuables is provided.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart for explaining the overall operation of the waste management system 1 according to the embodiment of the invention. FIG. 9 is a continuation flow diagram of FIG.

In this embodiment, when the operation shown in FIG. 8 is performed, as shown in FIG. 4, the operating company 21 provides the operating company 21 with the mounting member 41 or a storage bag to which the mounting member 41 is attached in advance. At this time, transaction data 4 is generated that indicates the identification information of the mounting member 41 in association with the discharge business operator 23 that provided it. The transaction data 4 are stored, for example, in the database 155 and also as a blockchain.

Storing as a blockchain in this way has the following merits.
Cloud databases are being compared to blockchains. The cloud database can be repaired from errors and tampering, and corrected for registration information by an administrator or the like, and can be said to be highly stable for management of standardized operations. However, the mechanism is centralized, requires the presence of an administrator to provide the service, and requires a lot of costs to build the system.

Blockchains, on the other hand, can be built in stages and are cheaper to build than databases. In addition, even the service provider cannot falsify or delete the recorded data, and the participant cannot delete his/her own transaction history.
When a large number of waste generators, transportation companies, intermediate treatment companies, and recycling companies (and the number of participating companies changes) are involved, such as waste disposal, it is not easy to design a database in advance. There is no choice but to become an expanding information processing system. Blockchain is the preferred technology for solving this problem.

Each step in FIGS. 8 and 9 will be described below.
Step ST11:
When the processing unit 153 of the operator apparatus 121 of the operator 21 that has received the mounting member 41 receives the first collection request from the discharge operator apparatus 123, the processing unit 153 performs the first collection of the first collection request.

Step ST28:
The processing unit of the operator device 121 performs information registration, accountability, and token provision.
For example, it is envisioned that points equivalent to resource purchases will be given to waste generators as tokens (rewards for cooperation or incentives to encourage action).

The waste disposal company device 123 of the waste disposal company 23 collects the waste 5 discharged by itself based on the information received from the operation company device 121 in step ST28 (e.g., a notification such as "certainly recycled"). However, it is possible to know which intermediate processing company and recycling company have recycled it.

As shown in FIG. 10, the discharger 23 operates the discharger device 123 and accesses the operator device 121 to check the status of collection, intermediate treatment, and regeneration of the waste 5 discharged by himself/herself. can be confirmed.

The operating company device 121 uses the transaction data 141 to create, for example, the standard document shown in FIG.

In addition, the operator device 121 uses the transaction data 141, for example, in the waste recycling process shown in FIG. Calculate the type and weight of recycled material of the waste. In other words, waste from not only the waste discharger 23 but also "other waste dischargers" joins the intermediate treatment operator 27 . Next, the intermediate treatment operator 27 branches not only to the recycling operator 29 but also to "another disposal operator". Therefore, by apportioning as shown in FIG. 13, what percentage of the waste generated by the waste generator 23 reaches the recycling business 29, and what kind of waste is subsequently chemically recycled, materially recycled, landfilled, etc. You can know whether it was processed in proportion.
