Description

  The present invention relates to a traceability system.

  Seafood is traded through various vendors. For this reason, it is not easy to trace the distribution of marine products displayed in stores and know where they came from. By misusing these points, a display that misrepresents the place of production is unbearable.

  Against the backdrop of the problem of fraudulent production areas, a traceability system is used to disclose production / distribution history information to consumers, appealing that it is a safe and safe marine product, and increasing its added value. ing. Conventionally, for example, a traceability system described in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.

  Although it has been said that the traceability system has been put to practical use, it has not been explosively spread. In the conventional system, the consumer is required to perform a relatively troublesome work in order to determine whether or not the product is a fake that impersonates the production area. In addition, the labor burden imposed on producers and processors with the introduction was relatively large. The present inventor has considered that these are a drag on the spread.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above idea of the inventor, and an object of the present invention is to provide a traceability system that can determine the presence or absence of impersonation relatively easily.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, a traceability system according to an aspect of the present invention includes a server device and at least one producer terminal connected to the server device via a communication network. The server device stores first print data including a holding unit that holds product information related to the product received from the producer terminal, link information for accessing the product information, and image data related to the product. And a server-side transmission unit that transmits to the producer terminal. The producer terminal includes a producer-side output unit that outputs the first printing data in order to cause the printing apparatus to print the first printing data on a companion that moves with the product.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described components, or a conversion of the expression of the present invention between a method, an apparatus, a system, a recording medium, a computer program, and the like is also effective as an aspect of the present invention.

  According to the present invention, it is possible to determine the presence or absence of impersonation relatively easily.

  Drawing 1 is a mimetic diagram showing one mode of distribution course of a product (here fishery products, such as seafood and seaweed). The producer 2 is a fisherman who captures and unloads the product, a fishery cooperative, or the like. When the producer 2 unloads the product, the producer 2 registers information related to the product in a server device (described later in FIG. 4). The producer 2 packs the product in a packing material such as polystyrene foam and sends it to the processor 4 by means of transportation. For example, tuna is packed in ice and sent to the processor 4. In addition, for example, a plurality of plovers are packed together and sent to the processor 4. At this time, a card printed with first printing data (described later in FIG. 2) issued from the server device is attached to the packing material. The producer 2 may send the product directly to the seller 6 or the consumer 8 (that is, directly sell it).

  The processor 4 is a company or organization such as a meat processing center or a wholesale center. The processor 4 processes the product to produce a processed product. When manufacturing the workpiece, the processor 4 registers information related to the workpiece in the server device. The processor 4 packs the processed product in a packing material such as polystyrene foam or corrugated cardboard and sends it to the seller 6 (or another processor 4) by means of transportation. For example, the processor 4 cuts the tuna into slices, packs each fillet, and sends it to the seller 6. Also, for example, a tuna can is manufactured from tuna, and this is packed and sent to the seller 6. At this time, a card printed with second printing data (described later in FIG. 3) issued from the server device is attached to the packing material. The processor 4 may send the processed product directly to the consumer 8 (that is, sell it directly).

In addition to the above, the first print data may include fish type, landing date, and other information.

  Further, for example, when there is a request for issuing the first print data for the product specified by the fish type “Tachiuo” caught on the landing date “2013/12/27”, the first print data generation unit 324 Specifies the product information of the product ID “S003”. Then, first print data including link information indicating the URL “http://traceability.com/s003” of the page including the product information is generated. Since the product information of the product ID “S003” does not include product photo data, if it is requested to include the product image in the first print data, the fish type is used instead of the product photo data. First print data including illustration data “I002.jpg” indicating “tachio” is generated.

  When the second print data generation unit 325 receives the second print data issuance request, the second print data generation unit 325 specifies the work piece information of the work piece corresponding to the issuance request, and the work piece information and the raw material product. Second print data including link information for accessing product information is generated. For example, when the work information is in the state shown in FIG. 11, if there is a request for issuing the second print data for the work specified by the work date “2014/01/10”, the second print data generating unit 325 specifies the workpiece information of the workpiece ID “K004”. Then, second print data including link information indicating the URL “http://traceability.com/k004” of the page including the processed product information is generated. When it is requested to include an image in the second print data, the product photograph data “S004_1.jpg” of the product photograph data “K004.jpg” and the product ID “S004” which is the raw material thereof. ”Is generated. The second printing data may include a processing date and other information in addition to these.

  Further, for example, when there is a request for issuing the second print data for the workpiece specified by the processing date “2014/01/09”, the second print data generation unit 325 processes the workpiece ID “K003”. Identify material information. Then, second print data including link information indicating the URL “http://traceability.com/k003” of the page including the processed product information is generated. In this case, since there is no product photo data of the product with the product ID “S003” which is the raw material, if it is requested to include an image in the second print data, the product photo data “K003.jpg” ”Is generated. Note that second print data including illustration data of the product and processed photograph data may be generated.
