Below, the example for implementing this invention is demonstrated.
FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a cultivation contract matching system (hereinafter referred to as “the present system”) according to an embodiment of the present invention.
This system includes, as main components, a matching server device 1 connected to the Internet 2, producer terminals 3 a to 3 n connected to the Internet 2, an orderer terminal 4, and an administrator terminal 5. Further, as will be described later, this system can be linked with a production management system including the production management server device 6. In this specification, the producer terminal 3 and the orderer terminal 4 may be collectively referred to as a client terminal.

  Typical users of this system are orderers such as retail stores, producers such as farmers, and agents. This system is used when an orderer signs a cultivation contract with a producer mainly through an agent. That is, this system provides a means for matching an orderer and a producer. The producer and orderer who are users of the system pay a predetermined brokerage fee to the agency which is the provider of the system. The brokerage fee may be a pay-as-you-go system that increases with the number of cultivation contracts established or the transaction volume, or may be a fixed system that generates a certain brokerage commission regardless of the number of cultivation contracts established or the transaction volume. The payment time of the brokerage fee can also be set freely. For example, it is disclosed that the designated date of the next month after the end of the bidding period is set when the cultivation contract is established, when the crop is delivered. Note that the agency may be a cooperative or an association that does not have a legal personality established by the producer and / or the orderer.

The use time of this system is assumed not only before the start of the production year of the target crop but also after the start of the production year. That is, this system is also assumed to be used in a re-matching scene when it is assumed that the yield is reduced due to the influence of the weather or the like and that a desired quality cannot be obtained.
The matching server device 1 of this system is provided by an agent, and the orderer and the producer use this system by accessing the matching server device 1 from a client terminal. In the following, the details of the configuration of the system will be described first, and then the details of the operation of the system will be described.

<Configuration>
The matching server device 1 includes a CPU and a storage device. The storage device has a Web screen in which the screen of the system is described in a markup language such as HTML (Hyper Text Markup Language) or XHTML (Extensible Hyper Text Markup Language). An HTTP server program that can be distributed through a page, a matching program that performs matching processing, and a database that stores management data such as orderer information, producer information, crop information, and matching information are stored. The matching server device 1 may be composed of a single unit or a plurality of units. In the present embodiment, the matching server device 1 is disposed in the data center, but the matching server device 1 may be disposed in the agency.
This preferred embodiment forms a database that can be linked to a vegetable market information database (commonly known as NAPASS) provided by the Agricultural Research Center. For example, by using the item code, market code and production area code used in NAPASS, it is possible to obtain price data for each production area and market from NAPASS and provide the created farming index to the client terminal. Become.

  The producer terminals 3a to 3n usually use notebook PCs or desktop PCs, but use portable terminals such as tablets, mobile phones, smartphones, portable personal computers (ultra mobile PCs, pocket PCs), and PDAs (Personal Data Assistance). It suffices to have at least a CPU, a storage device, and a Web browser. However, in order to use in a farm field, it may be preferable to use a terminal having excellent portability such as a tablet or a smartphone. Each producer uses the system by accessing the web page provided by the matching server device 1 from the producer terminals 3a to 3n using a web browser. When using this system, it is not necessary to install special software on the producer terminal 3. The producer terminals 3a to 3n can also download transaction data 51 such as ordering / ordering from the matching server device 1 in a file format such as CSV and cooperate with other systems (for example, business system).

  The orderer terminals 4a to 4n are terminals such as notebook PCs, desktop PCs, tablets, mobile phones, smartphones, portable personal computers, and PDAs, and have at least a CPU, a storage device, and a Web browser. Each person in charge at the store uses the system by accessing the Web page provided by the matching server device 1 from the orderer terminal 4 using the Web browser. In using this system, it is not necessary to install special software in the orderer terminals 4a to 4n. Also in the orderer terminals 4a to 4n, the transaction data 51 such as ordering / ordering is downloaded from the matching server device 1 in a file format such as CSV and linked with other systems (for example, business system, production management system). Is also possible.

  The administrator terminal 5 is a terminal such as a notebook PC, desktop PC, tablet, mobile phone, smartphone, portable personal computer, or PDA, and has at least a CPU, a storage device, and a Web browser. The person in charge of the agent providing this system accesses the Web page provided by the matching server device 1 from the administrator terminal 5 using a Web browser and manages the operation of this system.

<Operation>
FIG. 2 is a diagram illustrating an example of the flow of establishment of a cultivation contract in the cultivation contract matching system according to the embodiment of the present invention.
STEP 1: When the producer accesses the Web page provided by the matching server device 1 using his / her ID from the producer terminal 3 and logs in, the production schedule information input screen is displayed on the display device. On the production schedule information input screen, the producer inputs production schedule information (for example, crop name, brand name, variety name, organic cultivation, no pesticide, harvest time, cropping area, planned production number, standard grade, price). FIG. 3 shows an example of input parameters and input data list for production schedule information. In FIG. 3 (1), when a brand name is selected from a drop list (or when text is input), a variety and a cultivation method (shaded portion) corresponding to the brand name are automatically input by the system.
Here, it may be possible to input different prices according to conditions for one crop. For example, an optional price may be input according to the cultivation conditions where the base amount is 1200 yen / kg, +200 yen / kg for organic cultivation, and +100 yen / kg for reduced agricultural chemicals. In this way, by setting different prices for a single crop according to the conditions, it is possible to easily perform complex matching that meets the various needs of the orderer.
When the input of production schedule information is completed and the confirmation button is clicked, a transition is made to the production schedule information confirmation screen. In the production schedule information confirmation, after confirming the production schedule information displayed by the producer, the production schedule information is transmitted to the matching server device 1 by clicking the transmission button. During the bidding period, the producer can correct the production schedule information.

  STEP 2: When the matching server device 1 receives production schedule information from the producer terminal 3, the database stored in the storage device is updated. At this time, the received production schedule information is given a unique production schedule information identifier associated with the producer ID. Thereby, the orderer and other producers can view the updated production schedule information within the range of the setting authority. In this system, the disclosure range and viewers of production schedule information can be set freely, but in this embodiment example, it is possible for the orderer and other producers to browse production schedule information other than price. It is assumed that it is operation.

STEP 3: When the orderer accesses the Web page provided by the matching server device 1 using his / her ID from the orderer terminal 4 and logs in, an order information input screen is displayed on the display device. In the order information input screen, the orderer inputs order information (for example, crop name, brand name, variety name, organic cultivation, no agricultural chemicals, reduced agricultural chemicals, standard grade, freshness maintenance, delivery time, price, order quantity). FIG. 4 shows an example of an order information input screen. Also in order information input, different prices may be input according to conditions for one crop as in the production schedule information.
When the input of the order information is completed and the confirmation button is clicked, the order information confirmation screen is displayed. In order information confirmation, after the orderer confirms the displayed order information, the order information is transmitted to the matching server device 1 by clicking a transmission button. During the bidding period, the orderer can correct the order information.

  STEP 4: When the matching server device 1 receives the order information from the orderer terminal 4, the database stored in the storage device is updated. At this time, the received order information is given a unique order information identifier associated with the orderer ID. Thereby, the orderer and other producers can view the updated order information within the range of the setting authority. In this system, the disclosure range and viewers of order information can be set freely. However, in this embodiment, the operation is prohibited so that producers and other orderers cannot browse.

STEP 5: After the end of the bidding period, the matching process of the producer and the orderer is performed by the matching program stored in the storage device of the matching server device 1. The matching process between the producer and the orderer can be performed by selecting an optimal algorithm from various algorithms. In the present embodiment, the matching processing algorithm is adopted from the viewpoint of maximizing the profit of the producer, but it goes without saying that the algorithm that can be adopted is not limited to this.
In this embodiment, the specification is that the matching process is performed after the end of the bidding period. However, the producer and / or the orderer performs the temporary matching process at any timing during the bidding period, and browses the temporary matching result. It may be possible. With this specification, the orderer and / or producer can check the provisional matching result, and can correct the order information and production schedule information during the bidding period, thereby improving matching satisfaction. It becomes possible. It is preferable that the temporary matching result history can be referred to as a supply and demand matching history list (see FIG. 7 described later).

FIG. 5 is a flowchart of matching processing according to the present embodiment.
First, the order information 1 to n is sorted in descending order using the price as a key so that matching is performed from order information with a high order price (STEP 51). For example, when the orderer A inputs lettuce 600 kg unit price 1200 yen / kg, the orderer B inputs lettuce 300 kg unit price 800 yen / kg, and the orderer C inputs lettuce 200 kg unit price 1000 yen / kg (conditions such as cultivation method are omitted) , A, C, B. When the order price is the same, priority is given to the one with the larger order quantity, and when the order quantity is the same, priority is given to the one with the earlier order information transmission time.
Unlike the above example, in STEP 51, the order information 1 to n can be sorted in ascending order using the price as a key so that matching is performed from order information with a low order price. However, if only the price is used as a matching condition, it is assumed that the management of small-scale farmers with low price competitiveness will be under pressure. For this reason, it is necessary to select one or more secondary conditions (for example, prioritizing organic cultivation and attaching a producer's face photo to the package) prepared by the system in advance for the orderer. It is preferable to correct the variation and not put pressure on the management of small-scale farmers. Here, the matching program calculates the degree of variation in allocation when the secondary condition is not used based on a preset calculation formula, and when the degree of variation exceeds the allowable value, the secondary condition is dynamically set. You may do it.

  Next, production schedule information corresponding to the condition of order information i (initial value is i = 1) is extracted (STEP 52). For example, the order information is the above input example, the producer A has a lettuce 400 kg unit price 800 yen, the producer B has a lettuce 200 kg unit price 900 yen, the producer C has a lettuce 150 kg unit price 1000 yen, and the producer D has a lettuce 200 kg unit price 1400 When a yen is input (conditions such as cultivation method are omitted), production schedule information of producers A, B, and C whose input unit price matches the condition of order information i is 1200 yen or less is extracted.

Next, it is determined whether there are a plurality of pieces of production schedule information (STEP 53). If there is only one corresponding production schedule information, the matching program establishes matching within a range where the condition of the order information matches the production schedule information (STEP 54). For example, when the order information is the above input example, the producer E inputs the lettuce 500 kg unit price 800 yen, and there is no other production schedule information, the lettuce 500 kg unit price 1200 yen is set to the producer E and the orderer A. Matching is established. The matching server device 1 updates the database based on the established matching information.
In the present embodiment, when there are a plurality of corresponding production schedule information, allocation is made to a plurality of producers (STEP 55). In this example embodiment, the allocation to multiple producers is primarily attempted to allocate equally to each producer, and if there is a surplus in the allocation, secondarily the production capacity Try to allocate evenly among producers who can afford. For example, the producer A (lettuce 400 kg unit price 800 yen), the producer B (lettuce 200 kg unit price 900 yen), and the producer C (lettuce 150 kg unit price 1000 yen) are assigned to the orderer A (lettuce 600 kg unit price 1200 yen / kg). In this case, first consider allocating 200 kg to producers A, B, and C. In the example given here, since the production capacity of the producer C is 150 kg, the producer C can only allocate up to 150 kg, and a surplus of 50 kg is generated. Therefore, the surplus 50 kg is allocated to producers A and B by 25 kg each. Thereby, a matching of 225 kg is established between the orderer A and the producer A, a matching of 225 kg is established between the orderer A and the producer B, and between the orderer A and the producer C. 150kg matching is established. The matching server device 1 updates the database based on the established matching information.

  In the above description, the procedure for performing equal allocation in STEP 55 has been disclosed, but it is also possible to perform allocation under arbitrary conditions instead of equal allocation. For example, it is disclosed that the allocation is performed in the order of increasing surplus production amount or in the order of increasing surplus production amount, and further by combining secondary conditions such as the cultivation method. In the following, a procedure for allocating in order of increasing surplus production instead of equal allocation will be exemplified (assuming there is no secondary condition).

For example, the producer A (lettuce 400 kg unit price 800 yen), the producer B (lettuce 200 kg unit price 900 yen), and the producer C (lettuce 150 kg unit price 1000 yen) are assigned to the orderer A (lettuce 600 kg unit price 1200 yen / kg). In this case, it is first considered to allocate to the producer C whose surplus production is 150 kg. In the example given here, the unit price also matches within the range of the order conditions, so that the orderer A is assigned all the production amount (150 kg) of the producer C. Next, it is considered to allocate the surplus production amount to the producer B having a surplus production amount of 200 kg for the remaining 450 kg order. In the example given here, the unit price also matches within the range of the order condition, so that the orderer A is assigned all the production amount (200 kg) of the producer B. Finally, it is considered to allocate the surplus production amount to the producer A having 600 kg for the remaining 250 kg order. In the example given here, the unit price also matches within the range of the order conditions, so that 150 kg which is a part of the production amount of the producer A is allocated to the orderer A.
As illustrated above, it is possible to stabilize the management of a small-scale farmer by allocating the surplus production amount in ascending order. On the other hand, there should be no irrational fact that the management of large-scale farmers is under pressure, so secondary conditions prepared in advance by the system for the orderer (for example, if the unit price is higher than 20%, the unit price is given priority). It is preferable to correct the variation in allocation by making it essential to select at least one of allocation, giving priority to organic cultivation, and attaching a photograph of the producer to the package. Here, the matching program calculates the degree of variation in allocation when the secondary condition is not used based on a preset calculation formula, and when the degree of variation exceeds the allowable value, the secondary condition is dynamically set. You may do it.

When the matching process for order information i is completed, if there is no other order information that has not been matched, the matching process is terminated. If there is other order information that has not been matched, Matching processing is performed on the order information (STEP 56). That is, if there is other order information that has not been subjected to matching processing, the value of i is incremented by 1, and the processing of STEP 52 to STEP 55 is repeated (STEP 57).
For example, orderer A inputs lettuce 600 kg unit price 1200 yen / kg, orderer B inputs lettuce 300 kg unit price 900 yen / kg, orderer C inputs lettuce 300 kg unit price 1000 yen / kg, and producer A inputs lettuce 500 kg unit price 800 yen. Suppose that producer B inputs lettuce 300 kg unit price 900 yen, producer C inputs lettuce 800 kg unit price 1000 yen, and producer D inputs lettuce 200 kg unit price 1400 yen (conditions such as cultivation method are omitted). First, matching is performed for the orderer A having the highest input unit price. In the matching for the orderer A, the producers A, B, and C are extracted, and the matching of the lettuce 200 kg is established between the orderer A and the producers A, B, and C. Next, matching with the orderer C having the second highest input unit price is performed. In the matching for the orderer C, the producers A, B, and C are extracted, and the matching of the lettuce 100 kg is established between the orderer C and the producers A, B, and C. Finally, matching for the orderer B is performed. In this matching for the orderer B, the production schedule information of the producers A and B is extracted, but since B has no production capacity, no allocation is performed, and a lettuce of 200 kg is placed between the orderer B and the producer A. Matching is established. This completes the matching process for all order information (i = 1 to 3). In this example, matching is not established for the producer D who has input a price higher than the input prices of the producers A, B, and C, and the matching is not established for the producer C for 500 kg of lettuce.

  STEP 6: When the matching process for all the order information i is completed, the matching result is presented to the producer and the orderer. That is, when the producer and the orderer access the Web page provided by the matching server device 1 and log in, the matching result is displayed on the display device of the client terminal. FIG. 6 shows an example of the matching result. Here, the matching server device 1 may deliver an e-mail notifying that the matching is completed or the matching result to the producer and the orderer.

STEP 7-1: The producer confirms the matching result, and if the content is satisfactory, clicks an approval button, and if the content is not satisfactory, clicks a reject button. In the case where a plurality of different matchings are established according to the cultivation conditions for one crop, approval is made for all of them.
STEP 7-2: The orderer confirms the matching result, and if the content is satisfactory, clicks an approval button, and if the content is not satisfactory, clicks a reject button. When a plurality of different matchings are established for one crop depending on the cultivation conditions, one of the conditions is selected and approved.
STEP8: When both the matched producer and the orderer approve the matching result, the cultivation contract is established. If either the producer or the orderer rejects the matching result, the cultivation contract is not established.

<Rematching>
In the embodiment, the primary bid period and the secondary bid period are set before the start of sowing. Producers and orderers who have not been matched during the first bidding period can obtain another matching opportunity during the second bidding period. The matching procedure in the second bidding period is the same as the matching procedure in the first bidding period. For example, in the case of lettuce cultivation, since seeding begins in August, it is disclosed that a primary bidding period of 2 weeks is provided in late June and a secondary bidding period of 1 week is provided in early July. . Whether to set up a third or subsequent bidding period depends on the operation of the system administrator. For example, an additional bidding period may be provided before harvesting when the harvest amount is expected to be insufficient due to bad weather, or when the harvest time is delayed. Information for determining whether or not to provide an additional bidding period (for example, deviation in harvest amount or harvest time) is received from the production management system, warning text is displayed on the Web screen, warning text is delivered by e-mail, etc. May be issued to the system administrator.

<Display of matching history>
This system holds a history of matching results in a database and can be referred to at an arbitrary timing. The history of matching results may be a matching result or a temporary matching result. FIG. 7 is a screen image diagram of the supply and demand matching history list, and FIG. 8 is a screen image diagram of the demand and supply matching history details.

  The matching history is displayed by inputting a narrowing-down condition into a search condition field composed of “crop”, “agricultural chemical”, “target period”, and “number of balls”. The “Crop” and “Pesticide” fields are entered by selecting from the lists displayed in the drop-down list. When the number of crops displayed in the “Crop” field is large, it is preferable to provide a function of narrowing the display target by “Akasana ...” as illustrated. When a button labeled “Please press this button after input” is pressed, a matching history list that displays a list of matching histories corresponding to the narrowing condition in order of search date and time is displayed (see FIG. 7).

In the matching history list displayed on the matching history list screen, detailed buttons arranged vertically are displayed. When this detail button is pressed, a matching history detail screen for displaying a detailed information list of the row corresponding to the detail button is displayed. In the detailed information list, “scheduled production number”, “reserved number”, “remaining number” (= surplus production amount) and “actual price” at the time of the matching search are listed in the order of the producer name. In addition, the presence / absence of allocation in the allocation process is displayed.
Thus, in this system, it is possible to search the matching history under a predetermined condition and display a list. The search for matching history can be performed within the scope of setting authority. The setting authority can be set for each field of the search condition field, each column of the matching history list, and each column of the detailed information list.

<Cooperation with production management system>
This system can be linked with a production management system including five production management server devices. As the production management system, it is possible to use a publicly known system that is already provided on the market. The linkage with the production management system is not an essential configuration but an additional configuration.
The production management system is a system that stores production result information of previous years in a storage device and predicts production of the next year. More specifically, the production management system stores temperature information, sunshine information, rainfall information, and past production record information collected by sensors in a storage device, and integrated temperature, accumulated sunshine hours, rainfall, and past production record. It is possible to predict the crop yield and harvest time from the correlation with
This system can capture production performance information of the production management system and automatically generate production schedule information. In addition, the system can pull up information on the crop yield and harvest time from the production management system, and issue an alert prompting the establishment of an additional bidding period, as described above.
Furthermore, this system can present to the producer a list that associates the information on the production-planned crop information with the presence or absence of contract cultivation. According to this, the producer can easily grasp how much his / her crop needs to find a buyer.

  The production result information is input to the matching server device 1 by, for example, downloading production result data such as an order received from the production management server device 6 in a file format such as CSV and uploading it to the matching server device 1. Done. The data linkage with the production management system is more preferably automatic linkage by a batch program that executes production result data according to a predetermined schedule.

  Although some embodiments have been described in detail in the present disclosure by way of example only, modifications that do not substantially depart from the novel teachings and advantageous effects of the present invention are also included in the present invention.
