Description

  The present invention relates to a purchaser's product or harvest (hereinafter referred to as “producer etc.”) between a purchaser such as a consumer, a production contractor, or a harvest contractor, and a producer or harvester (hereinafter referred to as “producer etc.”). The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that mediates a transaction of a product or the like while considering a purchase desired condition for a product or the like ”and a production situation of a producer or the like.

In recent years, as consumers' interest in the safety and quality of products and the like has increased, the conditions of purchase desires for products and the like of purchasers have been diversified.

Therefore, it is important for a purchaser to be able to purchase a safe product with high quality easily and safely, and it is necessary to know all traceability related to production and processing from the producer to the consumer.
However, the purchaser cannot easily know in detail where, by whom, and how the product was produced, and confirms the production status and processing process of the product etc. that he / she purchases. If you want to do so, you have to go to the place where you want to produce it at an appropriate time and check it.

  In addition, as a producer, etc., it can be differentiated from other producers' products by assuring the safety and quality that the buyer can feel secure. It is possible that the production conditions such as shortage of the product or the shipping time will be significantly changed are likely to occur, and the purchase may be canceled for this reason.

Therefore, an identification code that uniquely identifies the produced product is attached to the product, the identification code attached to the product is read at each stage of distribution, and the information registered in the VAN (value-added communication network) A system has been proposed in which it is confirmed that the product is a genuine product by confirming that the product is a genuine product, and a counterfeit product is detected at an early stage of product distribution (see Patent Document 1).
In addition, if the safety standard data of the crop in each stage from the selection of the cultivation area to the consumer is prescribed in advance, and the measurement for safety is performed for each lot, and the result does not conform to the safety standard data There has also been proposed a system that does not proceed to the next stage of distribution (see Patent Document 2).
A system has also been proposed in which production information relating to agriculture is stored in a database so that the state of crops can be grasped in real time (see Patent Document 3).
In addition, there is a system in which GPS function is installed in the code issuance request device installed in the production area, and location information and issuance time are included in the production area guarantee code issued by this device to prevent production area disguise. It has been proposed (see Patent Document 4).

However, in any system, information for identifying safety is disclosed, but it is difficult to say that a product desired by the purchaser can be obtained only by disclosing information.
In some cases, a production contract is presented before production, and a sales contract is concluded. However, after the contract, shipment may not be performed according to the contract conditions due to weather or poor breeding. Changes in the shipping status of products, etc. due to various reasons can naturally occur, and changes in the shipping information based on the above circumstances after the contract has been concluded cannot be changed if it is a minor change. However, if there is a significant change, it may lead to a serious loss of the credibility of the transaction, so it is necessary to check the status of the change, but so far no measures have been proposed. Not.

In addition, regarding the safety of products, etc., it is indicated on the packaging of the product that the product conforms to the standards and quality labeling standards established by national, local governments, industry groups, and other public organizations, and the product is given to the purchaser. Appealing the safety of things. The purchaser determines the quality of the product based on the presence or absence of the display, and uses it for purchase determination. However, there are a wide variety of inspection items used for conformity inspections of the standards and standards used for the above indications, and the safety of the indicated products is judged after the details of these inspection items are fully understood and understood. There are few buyers who can do it. Furthermore, even if it can be determined that the safety within a certain standard is ensured by the above display, it is difficult to determine whether or not it is optimal for the purchaser's own preference.

This makes it possible to confirm in advance whether the product satisfies the conditions desired by the purchaser and is being produced smoothly.

(Third embodiment)
Further, following the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the server 1 registers the production progress information and the transaction ID received from the producer terminal 3 in the production progress information storage unit DB6, and stores the production progress information database. Create (see (20)). An example of the production progress information database can be shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the production progress information database 160 is configured by, for example, production progress information such as a transaction ID, a product name, a production place, and an agrochemical. The produced production progress information database 160 is stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6.

  When the server 1 receives the production progress information, the server 1 continuously determines the quality level with reference to the determination criterion information storage unit DB7 (see (21)). In the determination criterion information storage unit DB7, for example, a combination determination for preliminarily storing determination criterion information for determining a quality level based on a combination of items that are observed and items that are not observed in the production schedule information A compliance information criteria database that stores in advance a criteria information database or criteria information that determines the quality level based on the compliance rate weighted for each item indicated in the production schedule information and the total compliance rate is stored. Has been. Therefore, the quality level may be derived using any one of the determination criterion information databases, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the quality level may be derived using another determination criterion information database.

  An example of the combination criterion information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the combination determination criterion information database 170 is configured by information indicating the compliance status of production condition items such as production areas and agricultural chemicals and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the compliance status includes “◯” indicating compliance, “×” indicating non-compliance, and “−” indicating whether compliance is unknown. In addition, the information indicating the quality level is composed of five stages, with the highest “5” being all compliant and the lowest “1” being non-compliant. The created combination criterion information database 170 is stored in the criterion information storage unit DB7.

  Therefore, when the quality level is determined using the combination determination reference information database 170, first, the transaction based on the production progress information and the transaction ID stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 together with the production progress information. The production schedule information extracted from the information storage unit DB5 is compared, and the compliance status is determined as “◯” when the information is consistent (observed), and as “×” otherwise. At this time, if “Compliance” or “Not comply” is selected from the pull-down menu as the production progress information, “Compliance” is required without actually comparing with the production schedule information. Alternatively, a comparison can be made from the information “not compliant”, and the quality level can be easily determined. Next, the determination result is temporarily stored, and after the compliance status determination is completed for all items, the combination determination criterion information database 170 is referred to. For example, all the items are “◯”. In this case, the quality level is derived such that the quality level is “5”, the agrochemical item is “x”, and the other items are “o”, and the quality level is “3”.

  On the other hand, an example of the compliance rate determination criterion information database can be shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180A is configured by information indicating weighting of production condition items such as production areas and agricultural chemicals, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180B indicates, for example, the compliance rate of the production condition items. It consists of information and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the weighting indicates how much importance is given to each production condition item as a percentage, and is configured, for example, as 50% for the production area, 30% for the agricultural chemical, and the like. Further, the information indicating the compliance rate is a value obtained by summing the weighting ratios with reference to the information indicating the weighting as to how much the production condition item is observed, “80-99%”,...・ "29-0%" is divided into five, and the information indicating the quality level is "100" for the highest "5" and "29-0%" for the lowest "1" It consists of five stages. The created combination compliance rate determination criterion information databases 180A and 180B are stored in the determination criterion information storage unit DB7.

  Therefore, when determining the quality level using the compliance rate determination reference information databases 180A and 180B, first, based on the production progress information and the transaction ID stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 together with the production progress information. The production schedule information extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB5 is compared, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180A is referred to. Add weight values together. At this time, if “Compliance” or “Not comply” is selected from the pull-down menu as the production progress information, it is not necessary to actually compare with the production schedule information, and “Compliance” "Or" Not complying "information can be compared, and the quality level can be easily determined. Next, the total of the weight values is temporarily stored, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180B is referred to. For example, when the information of all items matches and the weight value is “100%” Is the quality level “5”, the information on the item of pesticide does not match, the information on the other items match and the weight value is “70%”, the quality level “3”, etc. To derive.

Then, after the quality level is determined, the server 1 registers the production progress information including the determined quality level information in the product information storage unit DB 9 as product information, and creates a product information database (see (22)). . An example of the product information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, the product information database 200 includes, for example, a purchaser ID, a producer ID, a product name, a production location, and a pesticide extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB 5 based on a product information ID and a transaction ID received together with production progress information. It consists of product information and quality level. The created product information database 200 is stored in the product information storage unit DB9. The product information ID may be newly issued as the product information is stored in the product information storage unit DB9, or the transaction ID may be used as it is. In the product information database 200 shown in FIG. 11, a product information ID of N101 is newly assigned instead of the transaction ID of T010 so far . In addition, although the item of transaction status is provided in the merchandise information database 200 shown in FIG. 11, this description is mentioned later.

Moreover, this server 1 will extract the said merchandise information ID, if merchandise information is newly registered into the said merchandise information storage part DB9 (refer (23)).
Next, the server 1 sends the quality level information together with the extracted product information ID to the producer terminal 3 specified by the producer ID extracted from the product information storage unit DB9 (or the transaction information storage unit DB5). Transmit (see (24)).

Next, the producer terminal 3 receives the product information ID and quality level information sent from the server 1 (see (25)).
Upon receiving the product information ID and the quality level information, the producer or the like selects a product information label mount based on the quality level information (see (26)). For the selection of the mount, for example, for each rank indicated in the quality level information, the shape of the mount may be changed to a star shape (star shape), a circle shape (round shape), a square shape (square shape), Alternatively, the entire mount or a part of the color is changed to gold, silver, brown, or the like.
Next, the producer or the like prints predetermined label product information including quality level information and product information ID received by the producer terminal 3 on the selected product information label mount ((27)). reference).
Then, the producer or the like affixes the product information label on which the predetermined label product information is printed on the outer surface of the product or a product container that accommodates the product, and sells the product to the purchaser. (See (28)). An example of the product information label is shown in FIG. In FIG. 22 (a), the product information label L10 is a circled product information label mount "4" indicating the quality level, "XX plantation" indicating the producer, etc., comments from the producer, etc. , Label product information such as “N010” indicating the product information ID and “xxx association” indicating the guarantee source are printed. An example of the product with the product information label attached thereto is shown in FIG. 22B, for example. In FIG. 22B, the product information label L10 is affixed to the outer surface of a product container G10 that houses the product.

The purchaser inputs the merchandise information ID displayed on the merchandise information label L10 attached to the purchased merchandise from the purchaser terminal 2 and transmits it to the server 1 (see (29)).
The product information ID can be input in a form as shown in FIG. 23, for example. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a product information ID input screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The product information ID input screen P100 has a product information ID input field. Therefore, the purchaser inputs the product information ID affixed to the product he / she purchased into the product information ID input field, and transmits to the server 1 by selecting the transmission button B100 by clicking with the mouse or the like. .

Next, the server 1 receives the product information ID sent from the purchaser terminal 2 (see (30)).
The server 1 continues to search the product information DB 9 based on the product information ID and extracts the corresponding product information (see (31)).
Then, the server 1 returns the extracted product information to the purchaser terminal 2 (see (32)).
The purchaser confirms the transmitted product information on the purchaser terminal 2. The confirmation of the merchandise information can be expressed in a form as shown in FIG. 24, for example. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a product information browsing screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The product information browsing screen P110 displays the product information ID and the product name, as well as the production location, agricultural chemicals used, and comments from producers as production progress information. Therefore, the purchaser confirms the displayed product information contents and notifies the server 1 of the end of confirmation by selecting the confirmation button B110 by clicking with the mouse or the like.

  As described above, following the first embodiment and the second embodiment, after the production progress status is reported, the quality level is determined and the product information ID is transmitted. After the product information ID is transmitted, the product information ID is input. Accordingly, the third embodiment for disclosing product information is completed. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm and determine whether or not the product is of a quality level that satisfies the conditions desired by the purchaser.

(Fourth embodiment)
In addition, after the determination of the quality level, the server 1 may refer to the quality level action information storage unit DB8 and perform a predetermined action corresponding to the determined corresponding quality level (see (41)). ). In the quality level action information storage unit DB8, for example, a quality level action information database that uniquely associates a quality level and a predetermined action, a quality level action information database that sets a quality level and a predetermined action for each purchaser, or A quality level action information database in which a quality level and a predetermined action are set for each product (product) is stored. Therefore, it is only necessary to derive and implement a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level using any quality level action information database, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other quality level action information databases are used. It may be used to derive a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level.

An example of the quality level action information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 10A, the quality level action information database 190a includes information indicating the type of quality level action and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the type of the quality level action is “production process notification” for informing production progress information or “transaction” for inquiring whether or not to continue the transaction when the quality level is changed. Continuation inquiry "and" transaction cancellation (order cancellation) "for notifying that the transaction will be canceled when the quality level is changed. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”.
Therefore, when deriving a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level performed using the quality level action information database 190a, if the determined quality level is “4”, the production progress information is notified, If the quality level is “3”, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to continue the transaction.

The information indicating the type of the quality level action is “production process notification” for informing production progress information, or inquiring whether to continue the transaction when the quality level is changed. Inquiry "and" Transaction Cancellation (Order Cancellation) "for notifying that the transaction is canceled due to a change in the quality level. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”.
Therefore, when a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level to be implemented is derived using the quality level action information database 190c, if the determined quality level is “4” and the product name is melon, the production progress If the quality level is “3” and the product name is melon, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to continue the transaction, and the quality level is “2” or “1”. If the product name is melon, a notification is made that the transaction will be cancelled.

  As described above, after the determination of the quality level of the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment for performing a predetermined action based on the quality level is completed. As a result, when the quality level determination results in a difference between the quality level desired by the purchaser and the reported quality level, an appropriate action set in advance corresponding to the difference is efficiently derived. It becomes possible to carry out.

(Fifth embodiment)
Further, following the fourth embodiment, the server 1 registers the action information derived based on the quality level in the product information storage unit DB9 together with the quality level information (see (42)). An example of the product information database can be shown in FIG. 11 as described above.
As a result of the determination of the quality level, the server 1 continuously searches for an alternative producer or an alternative purchaser with reference to the product information storage unit DB9 when the order cancellation information indicating transaction cancellation is registered as the implementation action information. (Refer to (43)). More specifically, for example, if the transaction ID is used as it is as the product information ID, the search for the alternative producer is performed by searching the product information storage unit DB9 to find the transaction ID of the transaction in which the order cancellation information is stored. Based on the transaction ID of the transaction in which the production progress information stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 based on the extracted transaction ID and the order cancellation information indicating the cancellation of the transaction are registered is extracted. Compared with the transaction information extracted by the part DB5, the quality level is determined, and further, the quality level action information storage part DB8 is referred to and the setting of the predetermined action according to the quality level does not indicate that the transaction is stopped. The right partner is chosen as an alternative producer. On the other hand, the alternative purchaser is also selected in the same manner.

Then, when an alternative purchaser is selected, the server 1 produces the production progress of a producer who has lost the purchaser as a trading partner due to the cancellation of the transaction together with the alternative transaction inquiry information for inquiring whether or not the alternative transaction is possible. transmitting information to the purchaser end end of said alternative purchaser ((44A) refer). On the other hand, when an alternative producer is selected, together with alternative transaction inquiry information for inquiring whether or not an alternative transaction is possible, the transaction information of the purchaser who has lost the other party's producer due to the cancellation of the transaction is displayed on the alternative producer transmits to the producer end the end of the equal ((44B) refer).
As a result, even if there are no producers or buyers who are counterparties due to the cancellation of transactions, this is an alternative that can be adapted from producers or purchasers whose counterparties are lost due to cancellation of other transactions. Find a trader and generate a new deal without giving up.

(Sixth embodiment)
In addition, after the quality level is determined, the server 1 may refer to the discount rate information storage unit DB10 and calculate a discount rate corresponding to the determined corresponding quality level (see (51)). In the discount rate information storage unit DB10, for example, a discount rate information database in which a quality level and a discount rate are uniquely linked is stored.
An example of the discount rate information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, the discount rate information database 210 includes information indicating the quality level and information indicating the discount rate. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”. The information indicating the discount rate is composed of numerical values such as 0%, 10%, and 30%.
Therefore, when the discount rate corresponding to the quality level is derived using the discount rate information database 210, if the determined quality level is “4”, the discount rate is 0% and is stored in the production schedule information. If the transaction is executed without discounting the transaction price (desired sales price) and the quality level is “3”, the discount rate is 10%, so the transaction price stored in the production schedule information is discounted by 10%. If the quality level is “2”, the discount rate is 30%, so the discount price is 30% discounted from the transaction price stored in the production schedule information. Conduct a transaction. The discount rate may be arbitrarily set by the producer or the purchaser for each transaction.

Then, when the discount rate is calculated, the server 1 sends the calculated discount rate information to the purchaser terminal 3 specified by the purchaser ID extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB5 based on the transaction ID. Transmit (see (52)).
Thereby, the transaction price of the product can be corrected to an appropriate one according to the quality level determined based on the production progress status, and the continuation of the transaction can be promoted without the transaction being canceled.

Next, an example of a basic operation of the server 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 25 to 27 are flowcharts showing the flow in the server 1 that implements the first to third embodiments.
