Description

The present invention relates to a food product sales system. Specifically, the present invention relates to a food product sales system that can reduce food loss.

Traditionally, consumers have focused on the safety of products, especially food products, and when choosing a product, they pay attention to the product itself and the ingredients of the product. They are starting to show interest.

For this reason, product providers write information such as the ingredients of the products they provide, the product's raw materials, their place of origin, and the date of manufacture on a label affixed to the product's packaging or record it on an IC tag. is provided.

However, simply providing written or recorded information attached to a product makes it easy for that information to be tampered with or forged. It was difficult for consumers to select products with peace of mind due to the low trustworthiness of consumers.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has proposed a technology in which food is provided by attaching a raw material powder sample made from powdered food ingredients to the food, instead of simply attaching information written or recorded to the food. (See Patent Document 1).

Furthermore, in the food product sales system of the present invention, any one of the expiration date, the shipping deadline, or the deadline for which the number of days remaining until the expiration date is a predetermined number of days is defined as the predetermined deadline. , is a food product sales system for selling expired foods that have passed the predetermined period, and includes information on the number of items in stock and information on the predetermined period for the predetermined food sold by the food product sales system. and an inventory information recording means for recording inventory information including, and on the condition that a request for output of information on a first food item, which is one of the predetermined foods, is received from a consumer's terminal. Checking the inventory information recorded in the inventory information recording means, and outputting a generation signal to a predetermined recipe information generation means for generating recipe information using the first food and the expired food in stock. and output means for outputting the recipe information generated by the recipe information generation means to the consumer's terminal.

Furthermore, in the food product sales system of the present invention, any one of the expiration date, the shipping deadline, or the deadline for which the number of days remaining until the expiration date is a predetermined number of days is defined as the predetermined deadline. , is a food product sales system for selling expired foods that have passed the predetermined period, and includes information on the number of items in stock and information on the predetermined period for the predetermined food sold by the food product sales system. and an inventory information recording means for recording inventory information including, and on the condition that a request for output of information on a first food item, which is one of the predetermined foods, is received from a consumer's terminal. The inventory information recorded in the inventory information recording means is checked, and if the expired food is not in stock, recipe information using the first food and the predetermined food in stock is generated; generation signal output means for outputting, to a predetermined recipe information generation means, a generation signal for generating recipe information using the first food and the expired food in stock, if the expired food is in stock; and output means for outputting the recipe information generated by the recipe information generation means to the consumer's terminal.

Here, by outputting recipe information using the "first food" and "expired food in stock" to the consumer's terminal, the output means can be expected to lead to the purchase of "expired food". .

In addition, when there is no expired food in stock (in other words, there is no expired food to sell), recipe information using the "first food" and "predetermined food in stock" can be sent to the consumer's terminal. By outputting the information, it is expected that it will lead to the purchase of "predetermined foods that are in stock."
The term "predetermined food in stock" here necessarily means "food that is not an expired food" considering that there is no expired food in stock.

Furthermore, since there is a possibility that ``foods that are not expired foods'' may become ``expired foods'' in the future at any time, it is important to stimulate consumers' desire to purchase ``foods that are not expired foods.'' This is also important for reducing food loss.

By the way, instead of recipe information that uses "first food" and "expired food," consumers should receive recipe information that uses only "expired food" (recipe information that does not use "first food"). By outputting to a terminal, a certain amount of sales can be expected.
However, for those who wish to purchase the "first food" (consumers), the food they want to obtain (purchase) is the "first food". Even if recipe information that does not use "Food No. 1" is output to a consumer's terminal, it cannot be said that it is meeting the needs of those who wish to purchase it (consumers).
Therefore, in the present invention, by outputting recipe information using the "first food" and "expired food" to the consumer's terminal, the consumer who wants to obtain (purchase) the "first food" While meeting the needs of consumers, it also stimulates the desire to purchase ``expired foods.''

In addition, if the food product sales system is equipped with a "recipe information recording means" for recording recipe information, the recipe information can be recorded within the food product sales system and communicated with external parties (outside the food product sales system). Recipe information can be output from the output means to the consumer's terminal without exchanging recipe information between the users.

In addition, if the food product sales system is equipped with a "recipe information search means" that searches for recipe information, even if the recipe information is not recorded within the food product sales system, external (food product sales system) By exchanging recipe information with the consumer (external to the consumer), the recipe information can be output from the output means to the consumer's terminal.

Similarly, if the food product sales system includes a "search signal output means" that outputs a search signal for searching for recipe information to a predetermined recipe information search means, the food product sales system includes a recipe Even if the information is not recorded, by collaborating with an external recipe information search means and exchanging recipe information with the outside (outside the food product sales system), it is possible to transfer recipe information from the output means to the consumer's terminal. Recipe information can be output to .

Here, when the recipe information search means searches for recipe information recorded in an external information recording means separate from the food product sales system (for example, when searching for a recording means that records only recipe information), , Since the search targets are limited, quick searches can be realized and recipe information can be retrieved smoothly.

In addition, when the recipe information search means searches for recipe information published on the Internet, it can search from a huge amount of information, including the latest recipe information, and can respond to consumer needs. You can expect to find recipe information.

Furthermore, when the recipe information search means searches for recipe information recorded in the Internet information recording means that records information that has been published on the Internet, only the information recorded in the Internet information recording means is searched. Compared to searching for recipe information published on the Internet (recipe information published on the Internet, not limited to information recorded in Internet information recording means), the information to be searched is Although it is inferior in terms of quantity, it is possible to obtain search results faster by creating a search index.

In addition, if the food product sales system is equipped with a "recipe information generation means" that generates recipe information, the recipe information is recorded within the food product sales system and externally (outside the food product sales system). Even if the consumer does not have the recipe information, the recipe information can be generated and the recipe information can be output from the output means to the consumer's terminal.

Similarly, when the food product sales system includes a "generation signal output means" that outputs a generation signal for generating recipe information to a predetermined recipe information generation means, the food product sales system and Even if the recipe information is not recorded externally (outside the food product sales system), recipe information can be generated in cooperation with an external recipe information generation means, and the recipe information can be transmitted from the output means to the consumer. Recipe information can be output to the terminal.

Here, when the recipe information generation means generates recipe information (recipe information outputted by the output means) based on "information recorded in the information recording means provided in the food product sales system", an external ( This means that recipe information can be generated without exchanging information with a food product sales system (outside the food product sales system). However, this does not apply if the recipe information generation means is provided externally (outside the food product sales system).

Further, when the recipe information generation means generates recipe information (recipe information outputted by the output means) based on "information recorded in an external information recording means separate from the food product sales system", Even if the information is not recorded within the food product sales system, recipe information can be generated by exchanging information with the outside (outside the food product sales system).

Furthermore, when the recipe information generation means generates recipe information (recipe information outputted by the output means) based on "information published on the Internet", it generates recipe information (recipe information output by the output means) based on a huge amount of information including the latest information. It can be expected that recipe information can be generated according to consumer needs.

In addition, when the recipe information generation means generates recipe information (recipe information output by the output means) based on "information recorded in an Internet information recording means that records information published on the Internet", , in that it is based only on information recorded on Internet information recording means, it is based on information published on the Internet (information published on the Internet, not limited to information recorded on Internet information recording means). Although it is inferior in terms of the amount of information to be used as a base, it can be based on a large amount of information and can be expected to generate recipe information that satisfies consumers.

In addition, the output means outputs the recipe information in response to a request from a terminal of a consumer who has purchased the first food and the second food, which is one of the expired foods, using the food product sales system. When outputting recipe information using the first food and the second food among the recipe information recorded in the recording means, the consumer can obtain the recipe information of the purchased food even after purchase. Therefore, it can be expected that consumers' incentives to purchase "expired food" will increase.

In addition, the recipe information search means responds to a request from a terminal of a consumer who has purchased the first food and the second food, which is one of the expired foods, using the food product sales system. The output means searches for recipe information using the first food and the second food, and outputs the recipe information using the first food and the second food searched by the recipe information search means to the consumer's terminal. Similarly, in the case of output, consumers will be able to obtain recipe information for the purchased food even after purchase, so it can be expected that consumers' incentives to purchase "expired food" will increase.

Furthermore, the recipe information generation means responds to a request from a terminal of a consumer who has purchased the first food and the second food, which is one of the expired foods, using the food product sales system. Recipe information using the first food and the second food is generated, and the output means outputs the recipe information using the first food and the second food generated by the recipe information generation means to the consumer's terminal. Similarly, in the case of output, consumers will be able to obtain recipe information for the purchased food even after purchase, so it can be expected that consumers' incentives to purchase "expired food" will increase.

By the way, the terms "first food", "second food", "prescribed food", and "expired food" here include both "primary products" and "secondary products", and include nutritional intake and preferences. This includes not only the intended food and drink (animal foods, plant foods, processed foods, frozen foods, luxury foods, seasoning materials, health foods, supplements, beverages, processed materials, etc.), but also pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical departments. The purpose is to include foreign products as well. For example, Chinese herbal medicine is also included. It is also intended to include feed, aquaculture feed, dog food, and other products intended for fish and animals.

Furthermore, the term "primary products" here refers to unprocessed fresh foods, animal foods, and plant foods themselves, such as vegetables such as radish and cabbage, or raw meats such as chicken and beef. For example, fruits, beans, shellfish, and fish also fall under this category.

Furthermore, "secondary products" here refer to products processed from unprocessed fresh foods, unprocessed animal foods, and unprocessed plant foods, such as mochi, manju, pickles, stir-fried vegetables, steak, This includes hamburgers, ramen, boxed lunches, bread, milk, cheese, beer, wine, sake, whiskey, frozen foods, canned goods, tea and juice in plastic bottles, coffee, and soft drinks.

Furthermore, the term "secondary products" here includes not only secondary products processed using primary products as raw materials, but also secondary products processed using secondary products as raw materials. For example, it includes tamagoyaki manufactured by purchasing seasoned eggs as raw materials and baking them. Furthermore, the term "secondary products" here includes secondary products purchased using secondary products as raw materials. For example, it includes bento boxes filled with tamagoyaki that are purchased as raw materials.

Moreover, the "first food" may be singular or plural, and the "second food" may also be singular or plural.

In addition, the "best before date" here means "the date by which the product can still be eaten deliciously without any change in quality", and even if the best before date has passed, it does not mean that it will no longer be edible. .

Furthermore, the term "expiration date" here means "the date by which it is safe to eat", and means that the product cannot be eaten after the expiration date.

Furthermore, the "shipping deadline" here means "the deadline by which a wholesaler or manufacturer can deliver to a retailer," and if the shipping deadline has passed, it is a business practice for retailers to ship to wholesalers or This means that it will be returned to the manufacturer.
In addition, the "shipping date" is often set as "1/3 of the expiration date of the food" due to business practices (for example, in the case of a food whose expiration date is 6 months from the manufacturing date, (The shipping deadline is two months from the date of manufacture.) However, the "shipping deadline" here may be "1/4 of the expiration date of the food". Furthermore, it may be "two months before the expiration date of the food" or "one year before the expiration date of the food".

With the food product sales system of the present invention, it is possible to reduce food loss by reducing unsold expired foods.
