(Issuing IC cards)
[0038]
Next, the issue of the IC card in the present invention will be described based on the flowchart showing the issue of the IC card in FIG.
[0039]
First, the business operator sends a questionnaire to the purchase applicant (customer). Those who wish to purchase enter their health status in the questionnaire. A questionnaire filled with the health status of the purchase applicant is returned to the business operator. In this way, customer health information is obtained (S101). Here, the business entity stores information on the health condition described in the questionnaire as health information in the storage means 103 of the IC card issuing system (S102). Such information can be stored in the IC card issuing system or the center system 2.
[0040]
By the way, it is well known that certain drugs have completely different effects depending on the person. As one of the causes, it is considered that the amount and quality of proteins expressed in the body are slightly different among individuals. SNP may be involved in this. Therefore, it is preferable to use the SNP analysis result as additional health information in addition to the health information in order to create disease information described later.
[0041]
Therefore, if the purchase applicant wishes to perform SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) analysis, a kit for collecting oral mucosa is sent to the purchase applicant or the nearest medical institution is introduced. When a kit for collecting oral mucosa is sent to a purchaser, the purchaser collects his blood or oral mucosa and sends the collected blood or oral mucosa sample to the SNP center. On the other hand, when a medical institution is introduced, the medical institution collects blood or oral mucosal cells of the applicant, and performs SNP analysis on the spot, or blood or oral mucosal cells collected at the SNP analysis center SNP analysis is sent to the SNP analysis center.
[0042]
The SNP analysis result is sent from the medical institution or SNP analysis center to the business operator. Here, the business entity stores the SNP analysis result as additional health information in the storage means 103 of the IC card issuing system 1a (S102). The information can be stored in the IC card issuing system or the center system 2.
[0043]
The disease information creating means 102 of the IC card issuing system 1a uses the health information stored in the storage means 103 (if there is additional health information, the health information and the additional health information) Diseases that may be suffered in the future, currently suffering or potentially suffering (eg, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, uricemia, colon cancer, stomach cancer, lung cancer , Atopic dermatitis, etc.) are analyzed and disease information is created (S103). The health information may be received by the center system, and the disease information may be generated by the center system based on the health information.
[0044]
Next, an IC card containing no data is prepared, and the disease information writing means 101 of the IC card issuing system 1a stores the disease information in the IC card (S104). In this way, the IC card issuance system 1a issues an IC card storing disease information based on the health information of the purchaser himself / herself (S105). The business operator sends the IC card to the purchase applicant (S106).
[0045]
The IC card issuing system 1a has a disease information creating means in the system. However, the center system 2 may have disease information creation means. Specifically, the IC card issuance system 1a transmits the health information of the purchase applicant to the center system, the disease information creation means of the center system 2, and the creation of disease information assuming the disease that the purchase applicant may suffer. The disease information may be transmitted to the IC card issuing system. In this case, the disease information is preferably transmitted after being encrypted.

The supplement purchase plan received at the terminal 3 is displayed by the display means 308 of the terminal 3 and disclosed to the purchaser. Then, the purchase applicant purchases the supplement at the store according to the supplement purchase plan (S314).
[0088]
Although not described in the flowchart of FIG. 5, supplement sales information regarding sales of supplements in the store is transmitted to the center system 2 using the sales information transmitting unit 307 of the terminal 3.
[0089]
The sales information is received by the sales information receiving means 209 of the center system 2. The inventory information update unit 207 of the center system 2 updates the inventory information stored in the inventory information storage unit 206 of the center system 2 based on the supplement sales information.
[0090]
In the updated inventory information, the inventory shortage information transmitting means 208 of the center system 2 transmits the inventory shortage information to the terminal 3 when the predetermined number of supplements in the store becomes a predetermined number or less. This can prevent the store supplement from being sold out. The center system 2 can also have means for ordering missing supplements according to the inventory shortage information.
[0091]
Although not described in the flowchart of FIG. 5, the center system 2 creates new disease information of the purchase applicant based on the answer items received by the center system 2 and the disease information, and the terminal 3 Can also be sent to. In this case, the disease information information updating means 36 of the terminal 3 updates the disease information stored in the magnetic card of the purchaser with the new disease information transmitted to the terminal 3.
[0092]
During the period from reading the disease information stored in the magnetic card on the terminal until purchasing the supplement, information such as customer applicant information, disease information, questions, answer items, supplement purchase plans, etc. is temporarily stored in the terminal It is possible. However, it is preferable that information stored in the terminal temporarily is deleted immediately after purchasing the supplement because of its confidentiality.
[0093]
In the present embodiment, a supplement purchase plan is created in the center system 2. However, as another embodiment, it is also possible to create a supplement purchase plan on the terminal 3 based on the disease information and the answer items.
[0094]
The present invention has been described in detail based on the two embodiments. In the two embodiments, the location where the disease information is stored is different. That is, in the first embodiment, disease information is stored in a portable storage medium (IC card), but in the second embodiment, it is stored in the center system.
[0095]
Comparing these embodiments, it is desirable to store personal disease information in the center system from the viewpoint of confidentiality.
[0096]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, it is possible to analyze the nutrients that the purchase applicant needs to take in accordance with the health condition of the supplement purchaser and provide an optimal supplement purchase plan for each purchaser.
[0097]
Further, it is not necessary for the general purchase applicant to analyze the health condition by himself / herself and analyze the nutrients to be taken to purchase the supplement. Furthermore, since it becomes possible for individuals to analyze the nutrients to be ingested based on information that cannot be examined, for example, SNP analysis information, it is possible to provide more accurate supplements.
[0098]
In addition, since an optimal supplement purchase plan is created based on the purchaser's answer for each purchase, it is possible to adapt to a short period of body modulation.
[0099]
In addition, since the store inventory can be collectively managed at the center, the inventory management of each store is facilitated.
