1. First embodiment 2. Second embodiment

<1. First embodiment>
[Configuration description]
FIGS. 1(a) and 1(b) are schematic diagrams for explaining an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, and food product A shown here is composed of food 1A and food 1C. There is. Food product A includes food 1A and food 1C wrapped in vinyl 2, and a sticker 3 is pasted on the vinyl 2.

Furthermore, food 1A and food 1C are both secondary products, and food 1C is a food obtained by freezing food 1B (not shown), which is the same food as food 1A. Note that food 1A and food 1B are not frozen.
Furthermore, the manufacturing date of food 1B is earlier than that of food 1A (in other words, food 1B is manufactured before food 1A).

Note that the food 1A corresponds to a "first food", the food 1B corresponds to a "second food", and the food 1C corresponds to a "third food".

Here, the food 1A is a food that is also traded as a single item, and is distributed at a price (list price) of 1,080 yen (excluding tax: 1,000 yen). That is, in this embodiment, although the case where food 1C is provided together with food 1C is given as an example, food 1A alone is also a food provided on the market.

Furthermore, food 1A is a food whose shipping deadline has not yet arrived.
Specifically, food 1A is a food with a production date of February 20, 2022, a shipping deadline of May 20, 2022, and a best-before date of November 20, 2022.

Furthermore, food 1C is a food whose price is 108 yen (excluding tax: 100 yen).
Furthermore, food 1B, like food 1A, is a food whose shipping deadline has not yet arrived.
Specifically, food 1B is a food with a production date of January 30, 2022, a shipping deadline of April 30, 2022, and a best-before date of October 30, 2022.

In addition, Food 1B is a food that was traded as a single item if there was sufficient time until its shipping deadline (for example, if there was approximately one month to spare, as in Food 1A). This food was distributed at the same price (list price) as Food 1A, 1,080 yen (excluding tax: 1,000 yen).

Food 1B in this embodiment was sold as a single item if there was enough time until the shipping deadline, but if there was any unsold food, it was frozen and made into food 1C, and then sold together with food 1A. providing.

In addition, as shown in Figure 2(a), the sticker 3 lists the price of food product A (specifically, "Price: 1,188 yen (excluding tax: 1,100 yen)"). In addition, "Details of food 1A" and "Details of food 1C" are described.

Here, "details of food 1A" includes information on the price of food 1A (specifically, "price: 1,000 yen"), information on the production date of food 1A (specifically, " Production date: February 20, 2022”), information on the shipping date of Food 1A (specifically, “Shipping date: May 20, 2022”), information on the expiration date of Food 1A ( Specifically, "Best before date: November 20, 2022" is written.

In addition, in this embodiment, the case where only the date is described as the shipping deadline and expiration date of food 1A is given as an example, but the time may be described as necessary (for example, , "Shipping deadline: May 20, 2022, 10 a.m." and "Best before date: November 20, 2022, 10 a.m.").

In addition, "details of food 1C" includes information on the price of food 1C (specifically, "price: 100 yen"), the target of freezing (i.e., the target of frozen processing to obtain food 1C), (Specifically, information on the freezing date of the frozen item (specifically, the display as "Frozen date: April 20, 2022") is written. has been done.
In addition, regarding food 1B to be frozen, information on the list price of food 1B (specifically, "list price: 1,000 yen"), information on the production date of food 1B (specifically, "production date : January 30, 2022”), information on the shipping date of Food 1B (specifically, “Shipping deadline: April 30, 2022”), information on the expiration date of Food 1B (specifically, “Shipping deadline: April 30, 2022”), ``Expiration date: October 30, 2022'' is written on the label.

In addition, in this embodiment, the case where only the date is described as the freezing timing of food 1B is explained as an example, but the time may be described as necessary (for example, "freezing"). Date and time: April 20, 2022, 10:00 a.m.).

In addition, in this embodiment, the case where only the date is described as the shipping deadline and expiration date of food 1B is described as an example, but the time may be described as necessary (for example, , "Shipping deadline: April 30, 2022, 10 a.m." and "Best before date: October 30, 2022, 10 a.m.").

[effect]
In the example of the food product to which the present invention is applied, food 1A and food 1C are integrated, so when food 1A is provided, not only food 1A but also food 1C is inevitably provided. That will happen. In this way, food 1C can be provided to consumers along with food 1A, and food loss can be reduced by preventing food 1B from being discarded.

In addition, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, the price of food 1C is set at a low price (specifically, the list price of food 1B, which is the food before freezing of food 1C, is 1,000 yen, while the price of food 1C is 1,000 yen) Therefore, the price of food 1C is set at 100 yen), and consumers who want to purchase food 1A can purchase food 1C at a good price, which can stimulate the consumer's desire to purchase.

By the way, even if the food 1C is sold separately at a low price (for example, the food 1C is sold for 100 yen regardless of the food 1A), a certain number of sales can be expected.
However, for those who wish to purchase Food 1A (consumers), the food they want to obtain (purchase) is Food 1A, so even if Food 1C is sold alone, it will not be able to meet the consumer's expectations. Furthermore, for food providers (sellers of food 1A and food 1C), even if food 1C is sold alone, it will not contribute to sales expansion, and continued sales may become difficult.
Therefore, in an example of a food product according to the present embodiment, by integrating food 1A and food 1C, it not only meets the needs of consumers who want to obtain (purchase) food 1A, but also increases the sales of food providers. In addition to realizing expansion, we have also achieved a reduction in food loss by providing 1C of food to consumers.

Furthermore, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, both the price of food 1C (100 yen) and the list price (1,000 yen) of food 1B are written on the sticker 3, indicating that the price of food 1C is low ( It is possible to inform consumers that the price is 1/10 compared to the list price of Food 1B. By letting consumers know that the food 1C is set at a low price, it is possible to stimulate the consumer's desire to purchase, and further reduction of food waste can be expected.

In addition, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, the shipping deadline for food 1A (May 20, 2022) is written on the sticker 3, which indicates that the shipping deadline for food 1A has not passed. Consumers can be informed.
Similarly, since the expiration date (November 20, 2022) of the food 1A is written on the sticker 3, consumers can be informed that the expiration date of the food 1A has not passed.
By informing the consumer that the shipping date and expiration date of the food 1A have not passed, the consumer can purchase the food 1A with peace of mind.

In addition, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, the shipping deadline for food 1B (April 30, 2022) is written on the sticker 3, which indicates that the shipping deadline for food 1B has not passed. Consumers can be informed.
Similarly, since the expiration date (October 30, 2022) of the food 1B is written on the sticker 3, consumers can be informed that the expiration date of the food 1B has not passed.
By informing the consumer that the shipping date and expiration date of the food item 1B have not passed, the consumer can purchase the food item 1C with peace of mind.

Furthermore, in an example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, since information on the freezing date of food 1B (April 20, 2022) is written on the sticker 3, food 1B is less likely to deteriorate after the freezing date. consumers can be informed of this.
Considering that Food 1B's shipping deadline (April 30, 2022) is also listed, it can be seen that Food 1B was in an environment where it was difficult to deteriorate from 10 days before the shipping deadline, and Food 1B's shipping deadline was It is expected that consumers will be able to purchase food 1C with peace of mind even as the end of the year approaches.

[Modification 1]
In the first embodiment described above, the case where food 1C is charged (100 yen) is explained as an example, but food loss can be reduced by providing food 1C together with food 1A. It is sufficient that the food 1C can be provided for free (0 yen) and does not necessarily have to be charged.

[Modification 2]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the explanation is given by taking as an example a case where the sticker 3 includes "price of food product A", "details of food product 1A", and "details of food product 1C". However, it is sufficient if such information (information written on sticker 3) is conveyed to consumers, and it is not necessarily necessary to write the information itself on sticker 3. As shown in Figure 1 (c), it is sufficient to convey the information to consumers. Identification information 4 (for example, a two-dimensional barcode, etc.) may be displayed.
In addition, a URL is recorded in the identification information (two-dimensional barcode, etc.), and by reading the identification information with a mobile terminal etc., you can check the "price of food product A", "details of food 1A", "food 1C" through the Internet. You can access the website with details.

[Modification 3]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the explanation is given by taking as an example a case where the sticker 3 includes "price of food product A", "details of food product 1A", and "details of food product 1C". However, it is sufficient if such information (the information written on sticker 3) is conveyed to consumers, and it is not necessarily necessary to write it on sticker 3. After conveying the information to consumers in various ways, it is sufficient to affix sticker 3. You may also provide food product A that is not

[Modification 4]
Furthermore, in the first embodiment described above, the case where food 1A and food 1B are the same food is given as an example. It is sufficient if the food can arouse the consumer's desire to purchase by feeling it, and Food 1B does not necessarily have to be the same food as Food 1A, but may be "the same kind of food" or "a different food". It may be.
However, if food 1A and food 1B are the same food, it can be expected that the desire to purchase food 1A will be further stimulated.

Here, "foods of the same kind" means a relationship in which food products "can be regarded as the same food". For example, cream bread and jam bread have in common that they are sweet breads, but they are not the same type of food because they are different types of sweet breads. Note that even if cream breads have different colors of cream, they are not the same type of food. In other words, the different colors in appearance do not mean that the food is of the same type and type. Furthermore, even if red wine and white wine are produced using the same farming method and from the same farm, they cannot be considered to be the same type of food because they cannot be considered the same as food.

[Modification 5]
Furthermore, in the above-described first embodiment, the explanation is given using the case where the food 1A and the food 1B are secondary products, but the food 1A and the food 1B do not necessarily have to be secondary products. It may also be a primary product.

[Modification 6]
In the first embodiment described above, the "details of food 1C" include the price of food 1C (displayed as "price: 100 yen") and the list price of food 1B (displayed as "list price: 1,000 yen"). ) to inform the consumer that the selling price is 1/10, but it may also be displayed that the actual selling price is 1/10.
For example, as "Details of food 1C", the price of food 1C (displayed as "real price: 100 yen (points equivalent to 900 yen given)"), the list price of food 1B (displayed as "list price: 1,000 yen") may be written to indicate that the actual selling price is 1/10. In this case, the consumer will pay 1,000 yen as the purchase cost for food 1C, but will be given points worth 900 yen.

[Modification 7]
In addition, in the first embodiment described above, when food 1B whose shipping deadline is approaching is frozen (specifically, on April 20, 2022, when the shipping deadline of April 30, 2022 is approaching 10 days) Although the explanation is given using an example where the product is frozen on the same day, it is not necessarily necessary to perform freezing based on the shipping deadline.

(1) When freezing is performed based on the best-before date For example, the production date of Food 1A is March 20, 2022, the best-before date is June 20, 2022, and the production date of Food 1B is February 20, 2022. In the case where the expiration date is May 20, 2022, food 1B may be frozen on April 20, 2022, which is one month before the expiration date of May 20, 2022. The seal 3 in such a case is shown in FIG. 2(b).
In this case, it can be seen that food 1B has been in an environment where it is difficult to deteriorate (frozen) for one month before the expiration date, and even if the expiration date approaches, the consumer can purchase food 1C with confidence. We can expect that.

In addition, when freezing is performed based on the best-before date (as shown in Figure 2(b)), the details of food 1C include the best-before date (for example, "best-before date: June 20, 2022"). By displaying the following information, consumers can be informed of the expiration date of food 1C. By informing the consumer that there is plenty of time until the expiration date of the food 1C, the consumer can purchase the food 1C with peace of mind.
Note that by freezing the food 1B, deterioration of the food 1B becomes less likely to occur, so the expiration date of the food 1C is set to be a later date than the expiration date of the food 1B.

(2) When freezing is performed based on the expiry date In addition, for example, the production date of Food 1A is October 20, 2021, the expiration date is October 20, 2022, and the production date of Food 1B is June 20, 2021. In the case where the expiration date is June 20, 2022, food 1B may be frozen on April 20, 2022, which is two months from the expiration date of June 20, 2022. The seal 3 in such a case is shown in FIG. 2(c).
In this case, it can be seen that Food 1B has been in an environment where it is difficult to deteriorate (frozen) for two months before the expiration date, and the consumer can purchase Food 1C with peace of mind even if the expiration date approaches. We can expect that.

In addition, when freezing is performed based on the expiration date (as shown in Figure 2(c)), the details of food 1C include the expiration date of food 1C (for example, "Expiry date: August 20, 2022"). By displaying the following information, consumers can be informed of the expiration date of food 1C. By informing the consumer that there is plenty of time until the expiry date of the food 1C, the consumer can purchase the food 1C with peace of mind.
Note that by freezing the food 1B, deterioration of the food 1B becomes less likely to occur, so the expiration date of the food 1C is set to be a later date than the expiration date of the food 1B.

<2. Second embodiment>
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of a food product sales system to which the present invention is applied. This is an example of a system configuration for

The food product sales system 11 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to be able to exchange various information with a consumer terminal 13 used by a person (consumer) who wishes to purchase a food product via the Internet 12.

The food product sales system 11 also includes inventory information recording means 14A, 14B, inventory information confirmation means 15, price calculation means 16, and information output means 17.

Here, the inventory information recording means 14A stores at least information 14Aa on the name of the food 1A, information 14Ab on the stock quantity of the food 1A, information 14Ac on the shipping date of the food 1A, and information 14Ad on the expiration date of the food 1A. , information 14Ae on the expiry date of the food 1A, and information 14Af on the price of the food 1A can be recorded.
Specifically, for the food 1A, its name, quantity in stock, shipping deadline, best before date, expiration date, and price are recorded.

In addition, the inventory information recording means 14B includes at least information 14Ba on the name of the food 1C, information 14Bb on the stock quantity of the food 1C, information 14Bg on the freezing date of the food 1B, information 14Bc on the shipping date of the food 1B, and information 14Bc on the expiration date of the food 1B. It is configured to be able to record expiration date information 14Bd, expiry date information 14Be of food 1B, and price (list price) information 14Bf of food 1B.
Specifically, the name and number of items in stock are recorded for the food 1C, and the freezing date, shipping deadline, best-before date, expiration date, and price (list price) are recorded for the food 1B.

In addition, the inventory information confirmation means 15 records the inventory information when the consumer requests information on food 1A, or when the consumer requests information on food product 1C, or when the consumer requests information on food product A. The inventory quantity recorded in the means 14A and 14B can be confirmed.
Specifically, when information is received from the consumer terminal 13 indicating that information on food 1A, food 1C, or food product A is desired to be output, information 14Ab of the inventory quantity of food 1A and information 14Ab of the inventory quantity of food 1C are received. Access the information 14Bb to check the number of items in stock.

In addition to the "information 14Ab on the stock quantity of food 1A" and "information 14Bb on the stock quantity of food 1C", the stock information confirmation means 15 also includes "information 14Ae on the expiration date of food 1A" and "consumption date of food 1B". Confirm the deadline information 14Be. Then, if the expiration date information 14Ae of food 1A has passed, food 1A is judged to be out of stock, and if the expiration date information 14Be of food 1B has passed, food 1C is judged to be out of stock. .

In addition, when the consumer requests information on the food product 1A, or when the consumer requests information on the food product 1C, or when the consumer requests information on the food product A, the price calculation means 16 uses the inventory information recording means. The price recorded in 14A can be confirmed.
Specifically, when receiving information from the consumer terminal 13 indicating a request to output information about food 1A, food 1C, or food product A, the consumer terminal 13 accesses the price information 14Af of food 1A to confirm the price. conduct.

Furthermore, the price calculation means 16 calculates the price of food 1C according to "information 14Bg on the freezing date of food 1B", "information 14Bc on the shipping date of food 1B", and "information 14Bf on the price (list price) of food 1B". Calculate.
Specifically, "the number of days from the freezing date of food 1B to the shipping deadline of food 1B (in other words, the number of days remaining from the freezing date of food 1B until the shipping deadline of food 1B arrives)" (hereinafter, " The price of the food 1C is calculated according to the number of days remaining after freezing (referred to as "shipping deadline") and the "price of the food 1B (listed price)".
For example, if the price (list price) of food 1B is 1,000 yen, if the number of days left when frozen (shipping deadline) is 20 days or more, the price will be 200 yen (80% off the list price), If the number of days (shipping deadline) is 10 days or more, 100 yen (90% off the list price), if the number of days remaining when frozen (shipping deadline) is 5 days or more, 50 yen (95% discount), remaining when frozen If the number of days (shipping deadline) is less than 5 days, the charge is 10 yen (99% off the list price).

Alternatively, the price of the food 1C may be calculated according to the "number of days remaining before freezing (shipping deadline)" and "the number of days remaining until the shipping deadline of the food 1B."
For example, if the price (list price) of food 1B is 1,000 yen, if the number of days remaining when frozen (shipping deadline) is 20 days or more, the price will be 200 yen, and if the number of days remaining when frozen (shipping deadline) is 10 100 yen if the number of days remaining when frozen (shipping deadline) is 5 days or more, 50 yen if the number of days remaining when frozen (shipping deadline) is less than 5 days, 10 yen, etc. Then, if the "number of days remaining until the shipping deadline of food 1B" is less than 3 days, the price is calculated by multiplying by 0.5.

Note that "the number of days remaining until the shipping deadline for Food 1B" refers to the number of days remaining until the shipping deadline for Food 1B, based on the date when the consumer requests the information (in other words, based on the date when the price calculation means 16 calculates the price). It is calculated in comparison with the deadline information 14Bf. In the case of the present embodiment, with respect to food 1B, it is determined that "the shipping deadline is 9 days" based on April 21, 2022.

Further, the information output means 17 is configured to be able to output information to the consumer terminal 13 based on the confirmation results and calculation results of the inventory information confirmation means 15 and the price calculation means 16.
Note that the output information of the information output means 17 in this embodiment is as follows.

(If Food 1A and Food 1C are in stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the stock information confirmation means 15, if food 1A and food 1C are in stock, "food 1A, food 1C, and food product A are all available for sale" and "food 1A, Information on prices of food product 1C and food product A" is output.

(If food 1A is out of stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if only food 1A is out of stock (in other words, if only food 1C is in stock), "Because food 1A is out of stock, food 1A and food product A cannot be sold.""Information on the price of food 1C" is output to the effect that only food 1C can be sold.
Note that the "information on the price of food 1C" is calculated by the price calculation means 16. That is, if food product 1A is out of stock, food product A cannot be sold and food product 1C will be sold alone. However, even if food product 1C is sold alone, the price calculation means 16 Based on the calculation result, the information output means 17 outputs "information on the price of food 1C".

Here, if the food item 1A is out of stock, the food item 1C will be sold alone, and a different price (single price) may be output than when it is sold in combination with the food item 1A.
However, in this embodiment, if food 1C is unavoidably sold alone because food 1A is out of stock, the price of food 1C when sold in combination with food 1A (in this embodiment) It is said that it will be sold for 100 yen).

(If food 1C is out of stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the stock information confirmation means 15, if only food 1C is out of stock (in other words, if only food 1A is in stock), "Because food 1C is out of stock, the sale of food 1C or food product A is prohibited.""Information on the price of food 1A" is output to the effect that only food 1A can be sold.
Note that the "information on the price of the food item 1A" has been confirmed by the inventory information confirmation means 15. In other words, if food product 1C is out of stock, food product A cannot be sold and food product 1A will be sold separately. Based on the confirmation result of step 15, the information output means 17 outputs "information on the price of food 1A".

(If food 1A and food 1C are out of stock)
As a result of the confirmation by the stock information confirmation means 15, if food 1A and food 1C are out of stock, a message saying "Food 1A, food 1C, and food product A cannot be sold because food 1A and food 1C are out of stock" is displayed. Outputs the following message.

[effect]
In the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied, even if the consumer desires information on food 1A (in other words, does not desire information on food 1C), the inventory of food 1C is On the condition that can.

In addition, the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied can output information on the price of food 1C and inform consumers that the price of food 1C is set at a low price. It can arouse motivation.

[Modification 8]
In the second embodiment described above, the price calculation means 16 calculates the price of the food 1C based on the "shipment deadline information 14Bc of the food 1B" as an example. In the case of the food 1C that has been frozen based on the expiration date (see FIG. 2(b)), the price of the food 1C is calculated based on "information 14Bd on the expiration date of the food 1B".
Similarly, in the case of food 1C that has been frozen based on the expiry date (see Figure 2(c)), the price of food 1C is calculated based on "information 14Be on the expiration date of food 1B". Become.
