JP6850451B2 - Agricultural traceability system - Google Patents

Description

The present invention relates to a crop traceability system, more specifically, in the distribution process, to crop traceability system that can record the history of crop subdivision is performed.

As a basic invention relating to a traceability system for agricultural products , there is an invention described in Patent Document 1. In the invention described in Patent Document 1, a consumer has a computer in which a distribution history is recorded in a computer of a neutral institution by pasting an ID number different for each individual agricultural product and an access destination for obtaining individual information. However, the distribution history can be viewed by accessing the computer of the neutral institution using the access destination.

In the invention described in Patent Document 1, it must be adhered one by one to the ID number of crops, for crops can not be given an ID number to one single crop, described in Patent Document 1 The invention of is not applicable. For example, root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, onions, radishes, and gobos, rice grains such as rice, wheat, and miscellaneous grains, beans such as soybeans and red beans, fruits such as strawberries and blueberries, and leafy vegetables such as spinach, Japanese mustard spinach, and water vegetables. In addition, there are many agricultural products such as green onions and mushrooms for which it is practically impossible to attach an ID number to each agricultural product, and the invention described in Patent Document 1 cannot be applied as it is.

For agricultural products for which the ID number cannot be pasted one by one, the ID number will be pasted in a boxed, bagged, or bundled state. Patent Documents 2 to 4 describe conventional techniques for attaching an ID number to such a bagged agricultural product, taking rice grains as an example.

Patent Document 2 discloses a technique for assigning a code "unit milled lot number" for a small bag after milling to a code "unit shipping lot number" for a large bag of brown rice.

Patent Document 3 discloses a system regarding traceability in the case of changing from paddy to brown rice, and is supposed to issue a barcode or lot number of shipping brown rice, print it, and attach it to a bag. As shown in FIG. 6 of Patent Document 3, in the rice milling factory, the brown rice information and the rice milling information are associated with each other and a production lot number is assigned.

In Patent Document 4, a lot number is assigned each time processing is performed, and each lot number is associated with each other and recorded on a server. The system also allows tracing when blending rice.

Japanese Patent No. 3355366 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2004-118309 Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2005-309902 Japanese Patent No. 4158710

However, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, the system administrator provides the producer with a unit rice milling lot number associated with the producer in advance. That is, the "unit shipping lot number" of the large bag and the "unit milling lot number" of the small bag are linked and managed in advance. Therefore, at the time of subdivision, it is necessary to attach the "unit milling lot number" of the small bag corresponding to the "unit shipping lot number" of the large bag to the small bag, which is very troublesome. Further, in the case of the invention of Patent Document 2, brown rice from a plurality of producers cannot be blended. Nor can it be blended with surplus rice or returned rice. At the actual site, products from various producers are subdivided, commercialized and shipped, and as in the technology described in Patent Document 2, the "unit shipping lot number" of the large bag and the "unit shipping lot number" of the small bag are used. If the "unit rice milling lot number" is managed in association with each other in advance, flexible history management cannot be supported. Therefore, the invention described in Patent Document 2 cannot be practically used.

In the invention described in Patent Document 3, the bar code or lot number of the shipped brown rice is printed and issued each time, and affixed to the bag. In Patent Document 3, it is unclear how to attach the barcode or lot number to the milled rice after subdivision, but if it is considered in the same way as the shipping brown rice, it is said that the rice is printed using a printing machine. Conceivable. However, when a producer or a processor prints and pastes a barcode, it is necessary to install an appropriate printing machine on the producer or the processor. In addition, the server must manage the same barcode so that it is not issued twice. In this way, it is necessary to demand capital investment for printing machines from producers and the like, and it is very difficult to actually introduce them.

In the invention described in Patent Document 4, a lot number is issued each time a process is performed, recorded on a server, and each information is linked, so that the history can be traced back from the final product to the consumer. Etc. are provided so that they can be viewed, but as in Patent Document 3, it is necessary for the processing company to issue a lot number each time, and the issued lot number is pasted on the product. Since it is necessary to attach it, it is necessary to introduce a printing machine. As mentioned above, it is difficult to introduce a printing machine to a producer or the like. Therefore, it is difficult to introduce the invention described in Patent Document 4 as a practical system.

As described above, conventionally, there has been no system for easily recording the distribution and processing history of agricultural products to be sold in small portions without introducing a printing machine or the like. In particular, since the producers of agricultural products are often small-scale micro businesses, it is necessary to have a system that realizes traceability easily and accurately without burdening equipment as much as possible. In recent years, the need for traceability of agricultural products has been said, but at present, a simple and practical traceability system has not been developed, so in the end, producers and processors store slips and the like. , Only history management is performed to the extent that history information is recorded. It is desired to develop a traceability system that can realize history management by a simple method while making the best use of IT technology.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a traceability system for agricultural products that is easily introduced.

The present invention has the following features in order to solve the above problems. The present invention is an agricultural product traceability system for managing the history of agricultural products, and provides a management server for recording the history, a producer-side terminal capable of communicating with the management server via a network, and a network for the management server. A parent code identifier containing information on the parent code is provided in advance to the producer who uses the producer side terminal and is equipped with a processor side terminal capable of communicating via the processor side. It is assumed that the processor who uses the terminal is provided with a child code identifier containing information about the child code in advance.

The management server includes a recording means, and the recording means records the parent code and the child code without associating them with each other when the parent code identifier and the child code identifier are provided in advance.

The producer-side terminal includes a first parent code reading means for reading the parent code identification object, a raw material information associating means for associating raw material information with the parent code read by the first parent code reading means, and a raw material information associating means. The parent code associated with the raw material information mapping means and the raw material information are included as a parent code transmitting means for transmitting to the management server.

The management server includes a receiving means capable of receiving information from the producer side terminal and / or the processor side terminal via the network, and the recording means has the receiving means transmitted from the producer side terminal. When the parent code and the raw material information are received, the raw material information is linked to the recorded parent code and recorded.

On the processor side, the processor side terminal has a second parent code reading means for reading the parent code identifier, a child code reading means for reading the child code identifier, and a child read by the child code reading means. A parent-child associating means for associating a code with a parent code read by a second parent code reading means, and a child code transmitting means for transmitting the child code and the parent code associated by the parent-child associating means to the management server. Including.

Then, when the receiving means receives the child code and the parent code transmitted from the processor side terminal in the management server, the recording means associates the child code with the recorded parent code and records it.

In one embodiment, the processor side terminal further includes a subdivision information associating means for associating the subdivision information regarding the subdivision of the agricultural product with the child code read by the child code reading means.

Then, the child code transmitting means transmits the subdivision information to the management server in association with the child code, and in the management server, the recording means subdivides the information transmitted from the processor side terminal to the recorded child code. Is linked and recorded.

Further, in one embodiment, the processor side terminal associates the processing information related to the processing of the agricultural product with the parent code read by the second parent code reading means or the child code read by the child code reading means, and associates the management server with the child code. Further includes a processing information transmitting means to be transmitted to the server.

Then, in the management server, the recording means associates the recorded parent code or child code with the processing information transmitted from the processor side terminal and records it.

Specifically, for example, the processing information includes information on the yield at the time of processing.

Preferably, the parent-child associative means may determine whether or not there is an error in associating the parent code with the child code.

At that time, the parent-child associative means may determine the presence or absence of an error based on the number of child codes that can be associated with the parent code.

Further, the parent-child associative means may determine whether or not there is an error depending on whether or not the parent code has been shipped or whether or not the raw material information is associated with the parent code.

Preferably, the second parent code reading means may determine whether or not there is an error in the read parent code.

At that time, the second parent code reading means is whether or not the parent code has been processed, whether or not the raw material information is associated with the parent code, or whether or not the parent code has been read a second time or more. Whether or not there is an error should be judged.

In one embodiment, in the management server, the recording means can associate the child code and the parent code with respect to the residuals after processing.

Further, in one embodiment, in the management server, the recording means can link the child code and the parent code even to the fractional object before processing.

Further, in one embodiment, the processor side terminal reads the child code or parent code attached to the returned item, the residual item, or the fractional item and transmits the child code or the parent code to the management server.

At this time, when the management server receives the data related to the child code or parent code related to the returned goods, residuals, or fractions, the management server can link the child code to the recording means also for the returned goods, residuals, or fractions. It shall be managed as such.

Further, in one embodiment, the processor side terminal associates a new child code with the agricultural product to which the child code is permitted to be linked on the management server as a raw material, and transmits the correspondence to the management server. To do.

At this time, the management server shall link the child codes to each other.

Further, in one embodiment, the management server may make a determination according to a predetermined criterion based on the weight associated with the parent code and the weight associated with the child code.

When the crop is rice cereals, the degree of rice milling recognized by the ratio of the weight associated with the parent cord to the weight associated with the child cord may be used as a predetermined standard.

In addition, the management server may record the determination result.

According to the present invention, when the parent code identifier and the child code identifier are provided in advance, they are not linked to each other. Therefore, the producer and the processor can attach the parent code and the child code to the packaging of the product without worrying about the order and the correspondence relationship of the parent code and the child code. Then, in the processor, after processing, the parent code is associated with the child code for the first time by associating the parent code with the child code, and the child code is read and the history is tracked to correspond to the parent code. It is possible to reach the raw material information. In the present invention, it is troublesome to have a producer or a processor introduce a printing machine for printing a parent code or a child code, or issue a lot number or an identification number at each production or processing. Can be omitted at all. According to the present invention, the history of products can be recorded as accurately as possible. Therefore, according to the present invention, in addition to providing a traceability system that is easy to introduce, it is possible to realize history management of products as accurately as possible.

By associating the subdivision information with the child code, it is possible to record the subdivision history.

By associating the processing information with the parent code or the child code, it is possible to record the processing history.

By including the yield in the processing information, it is possible to accurately manage the residuals and accurately manage the number of child codes that can be associated with the parent code.

By performing an error determination in the parent-child associating means, it is possible to prevent padding and camouflage due to improper linking.

By performing an error determination in the second parent code reading means, it is possible to prevent padding and camouflage due to reading an illegal parent code.

By making it possible to link the leftovers, fractions, and returned goods with the child code, it is possible to record the history of the reuse status of the leftovers, fractions, and returned goods.

By making it possible to link child codes with each other, it is possible to link leftovers, fractions, and returned goods with the child code, and the history of reuse status of leftovers, fractions, and returned goods is also recorded. It will be possible to leave it in.

By making a judgment according to a predetermined standard based on the weight associated with the parent code and the weight associated with the child code, fraud such as padding or mixing is performed on the product with the child code. It is possible to judge whether or not it is not.

For example, when the present invention is used for rice grains, if the degree of rice milling recognized by the ratio of the weight associated with the parent cord and the weight associated with the child cord is used as a criterion, padding or illegal mixing is performed. In such a case, there will be a discrepancy between the weight ratio and the degree of rice milling. This makes it possible to confirm whether or not fraud has been committed.

By recording the judgment result, if the judgment result remains as a history, it will be possible to objectively know where the fraud is being carried out, so each trader will be aware that the fraud will not be carried out. ..

Prior to the description of the embodiment of the present invention, four typical patterns in the case of subdividing and packaging agricultural products from a large bag to a small bag will be described. In the following, the term "bag" will be used, such as large bag and small bag, but this is just an example of the packaging form, depending on the type of crop, such as boxes, bundles, containers, and cases. Appropriate packaging can be used properly.

FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram showing a machining pattern 1. The processing pattern shown in FIG. 1 is the simplest pattern, and is a case where one large bag from the producer A is subdivided into n small bags and commercialized by the processor a. In the present invention, the processor refers to a company that cleans, sorts, and polishes agricultural products from producers, and the processing method is not particularly limited, and agricultural products are not particularly limited. It is also considered that processing is performed when only subdividing is performed without processing. Further, the producer and the processor may be different persons or the same person.

As shown in FIG. 1, the large bag A shipped from the producer A arrives at the processor a via an intermediate company. After arrival, the processor a processes it and subdivides it into sachets a1 to an. At this time, the one that is less than the capacity of one pouch becomes the residual pouch an + 1. The sachets a1 to an are shipped and delivered to the consumer through an intermediary and a retailer. The residual pouch an + 1 will remain in the hands of the processor.

FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the machining pattern 2. The pattern shown in FIG. 2 is a pattern in which agricultural products are mixed. For example, when considering potatoes, there are cases where potatoes received in m large bags from producer A are mixed and washed by a processor to make n small bags, or m large bags from producer A. It is assumed that the brown rice received in the above is mixed and milled by a processor to make n sachets. It is also possible to mix large bags from different producers. Even in such a case, a pouch of residuals an + 1 may occur.

FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the processing pattern 3. The pattern shown in FIG. 3 is a pattern in which m sachets are mixed. For example, there is a case where m subdivided sachets are reprocessed to make n sachets. The pouches used are, for example, fractional pouches with fractions that came out before processing, residual pouches after processing, and pouches after returns. Taking rice as an example, brown rice delivered from a producer in a large bag of 30 kg may contain a little more brown rice, for example, 33 kg. When such brown rice is milled to make three 10 kg sachets, the fractional brown rice that does not need to be processed becomes a fractional product, although it depends on the yield. Also, if all 33 kg of rice is milled, some grams will remain as residue when 3 bags of 10 kg are made, depending on the yield. Further, in the case of rice, if the returned rice is milled again, it can be sold as a product, so that when a 10 kg sachet is returned, the sachet can be processed. As described above, the processing pattern 3 is a pattern in which a small bag of a fraction, a residue, and a returned product is processed and commercialized. In addition to rice, there are cases where the processing pattern 3 is similarly applied to each crop.

FIG. 4 is a conceptual diagram showing the processing pattern 4. The pattern shown in FIG. 4 is a pattern in which a large bag and a small bag are mixed and processed. In the example shown in FIG. 4, a case is shown in which m large bags and k small bags are processed to make n small bags. In this case as well, the pouch an + 1 becomes a residue.

There may be other processing patterns, but in the examples of FIGS. 1 to 4, the processing patterns of agricultural products can be generally understood. Based on the above, an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

FIG. 5A is a diagram showing equipment used in the crop traceability system 1 (hereinafter, simply referred to as system 1) according to the embodiment of the present invention. The system 1 includes a management server 2, a barcode printing / issuing device 3, one or more producer-side terminals 4, one or more intermediary-side terminals 5, one or more processor-side terminals 6, and one or more. It includes a store-side terminal 7 and one or more consumer-side terminals 8. Each device is communicably connected to the management server 2 via a network 9 including a mobile phone network, a wireless or wired LAN network, an optical fiber network, a telephone line network, an Internet network, and the like.

The management server 2, the bar code printing / issuing device 3, the producer-side terminal 4, the intermediate-side terminal 5, the processor-side terminal 6, the dealer-side terminal 7, and the consumer-side terminal 8 are computer devices, respectively. It is equipped with an input device, an output device, a control device, an arithmetic device, a recording device (recording means), and a communication device (transmitting means and receiving means), and realizes the system 1 by executing an installed program. It has become. The characteristic functions of each device will be described below.

The management server 2 has a recording means for recording information sent from each device via the network 9, and has a function of associating the information recorded in the recording means with each other. In the present invention, associating information is referred to as associating.

The bar code printing issuing device 3 is a device capable of issuing and printing a bar code, and information on the issued bar code can be registered in the management server 2 via the network 9. Here, in order to explain that the parent code and the child code described later are barcodes, the barcode printing / issuing device 3 is given as an example, but the parent code and the child code issued in the system 1 are bars. Not limited to the code, any information such as a lot number, an identification number, an identification label, an IC tag, etc., which can manage the parent code and the child code without duplication. Needless to say, the bar code is not limited to a one-dimensional code, but also includes a two-dimensional code, a so-called two-dimensional code. Further, the barcode or the like may be printed or pasted on a large bag, a small bag or the like in advance. If it is printed on the bag in advance, it is better to use a printing device that can print different barcodes one by one. If it is pasted on the bag in advance, it can be pasted by a person or the barcode etc. It is advisable to use a device for pasting. Similarly, when a form other than a bag such as a box, a bundle, a container, or a case is used as the packaging, a barcode or the like may be printed or pasted on the packaging in advance, and such printing or pasting may be performed. It is preferable that a device capable of the above is used. Items containing information about the parent code, such as barcodes, lot numbers, identification numbers, identification labels, and IC tags, are referred to as parent code identification items. Similarly, a product containing information on a child code, such as a barcode, lot number, identification number, identification label, and IC tag, is referred to as a child code identification material. Needless to say, even when an identification object that is difficult to print, such as an IC tag, may be used, such an identification object may be attached to the packaging in advance.

The producer-side terminal 4 needs to have a reading means capable of reading the parent code and the child code. The producer-side terminal 4 can be realized, for example, by installing a program necessary for a personal computer or an information device to which a barcode reader is connected, but one embodiment is assumed to have a camera function. Future phones, smartphones, and tablet terminals. At the time of this application, the producer-side terminal 4 assumes a smartphone or tablet terminal as an optimal embodiment, and installs the application necessary for realizing the system 1 on the producer's smartphone or tablet terminal. It is assumed that the system 1 can be easily used by the producer. However, it is not limited to these.

Like the producer-side terminal 4, the intermediary-side terminal 5 also needs to have a reading means capable of reading the parent code and the child code, and the embodiment is the same as that of the producer-side terminal 4.

Like the producer-side terminal 4, the processor-side terminal 6 also needs to have a reading means capable of reading the parent code and the child code. Similar to the producer terminal 4, a smartphone or tablet terminal can be used. It should be noted that the processor often uses a personal computer to which a barcode reader is connected.

The store-side terminal 7 also needs to have a reading means capable of reading the parent code and the child code, like the producer-side terminal 4, and the embodiment is the same as that of the producer terminal 4.

Like the producer-side terminal 4, the consumer-side terminal 5 also needs to have a reading means capable of reading the parent code and the child code, and the embodiment is the same as that of the producer-side terminal 4.

However, the programs and applications to be installed on the producer-side terminal 4, the intermediate-side terminal 5, the processor-side terminal 6, the dealer-side terminal 7, and the consumer-side terminal 8 may be programs or applications required for each. Therefore, it does not have to be the same program. In particular, the programs installed on the producer-side terminal 4, the intermediate-side terminal 5, the processor-side terminal 6, and the retailer-side terminal 7 need to have access restrictions, so a specially issued ID is used. You need to be able to log in if you don't use it. Since the program installed on the consumer-side terminal 8 only needs to have a function of viewing history information, it is not necessary to set a login restriction in particular.

Based on the above system configuration, the outline of the operation in the system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5B to 5K. 5B to 5K are described so that the transition of the information recorded in the management server 2 can be understood according to the operation of the system 1.

FIG. 5B is a diagram showing a concept of operation of the system 1 at the time of issuing a barcode. First, the barcode printing / issuing device 3 (hereinafter referred to as the issuing device 3) issues a paper of a parent code group on which a bar code sticker (parent code identification object) corresponding to a plurality of parent codes is printed. Next, the issuing device 3 issues a sheet of the child code group on which the bar code stickers (child code identification objects) corresponding to the plurality of child codes are printed. Here, the barcode is taken as an example, but when a lot number, an identification number, or an identification label is used as the parent code and the child code, the paper of the parent code group or the child code group on which the corresponding sticker is printed is printed. Is issued by the issuing device 3. When an IC tag is used as the parent code and the child code, the issuing device 3 issues a parent code group and a child code group to which the IC tag is attached. In addition, when printing or pasting a unique barcode, lot number, identification number, identification label, etc. on the bag in advance, a printing device that can print or paste a different barcode, etc. on each sheet is available. It should be used.

The issuing device 3 registers information about the parent code and the child code in the management server 2 at the time of issuance. In response to this, the management server 2 records the parent code and the child code. At this point, the parent code and the child code are only independently recorded in the management server 2, and each code is not linked.

Then, the parent code group is provided to the producer in advance, and the child code group is provided to the processor in advance. One of the points of the present invention is this point, and when the parent code group is provided to the producer and the child code group is provided to the processor, each code is not linked, so that the producer and the processor Do not need to be aware of which parent code and child code should be used, their order, code contents, correspondence, etc., but be aware of the order and correspondence of the codes at hand during production or processing. All you have to do is paste it without it. In addition, when a unique barcode or the like is printed or affixed to the bag in advance, it is not necessary to be aware of the order in which the bags are used and the correspondence relationship at the time of production or lowering. Below, it is necessary to distinguish between the case where the barcode etc. is pasted on the bag and the case where the barcode etc. is printed on the bag in advance if the barcode etc. is attached to the bag. Therefore, in the following explanation, a case where a barcode or the like is attached to the bag will be described as a representative, but when a bag having a barcode or the like pre-printed or attached is used, the barcode or the like is attached to the bag. In the process of pasting, the present invention shall be understood by reading it as using such a prepared bag.

FIG. 5C is a diagram showing a concept of operation of the system 1 when a producer packs a product in a large bag and ships it. The producer removes the sticker from the parent cord group and attaches it to the large bag to be used. You don't have to worry about the order of pasting and the correspondence. Then, the producer reads the pasted barcode using the producer-side terminal 4. Similarly, when using stickers or IC tags other than barcodes, there is no need to worry about the order, and the producer terminal 4 is provided with a means for reading the parent code such as the lot number and IC tag. It shall be.

Next, the producer sends information on raw materials such as the type of crop , the name of the producer, the place of production, the date of production, the usage history of pesticides, and the weight (hereinafter referred to as raw material information) to the producer side terminal 4. input. The producer-side terminal 4 may have the producer input the raw material information in advance and store the raw material information. Further, the producer inputs information related to shipping (hereinafter, referred to as shipping information) such as a shipping place, a shipping destination, and a shipping date and time into the producer side terminal 4. The producer-side terminal 4 may be made to have the producer input frequently used shipping information such as a shipping place and a shipping destination in advance, and may be stored. The weight of the raw material may be input in the shipping information.

When the input of the raw material information and the shipping information is completed, the producer-side terminal 4 associates the read parent code with the raw material information and the shipping information and transmits them to the management server 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5C, the parent code (A1 to Am in the figure) is associated with the raw material information and the shipping information, and is recorded in the recording means of the management server 2.

Next, it is assumed that the producer directly delivers the large bag with the parent code A1 to the processor. FIG. 5D is a diagram showing a concept of operation of the system 1 when a processor receives a large bag. The processor uses the terminal 6 on the processor side to read the parent code attached to the large bag. When a sticker or IC tag other than a barcode is used, it is assumed that the processor-side terminal 6 is provided with a means for reading a parent code such as a lot number or an IC tag.

After reading the parent code, the processor inputs information related to arrival (hereinafter referred to as arrival information) such as the arrival location, the shipping source, and the arrival date and time into the processor side terminal 6. In addition, the processor side terminal 6 may be made to have the processor input frequently used arrival information such as the arrival place and the shipping source in advance, and may be stored.

When the input of the arrival information is completed, the processor side terminal 6 associates the read parent code with the arrival information and transmits it to the management server 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5D, the arrival information is associated with the parent code (A1 in the figure) and recorded in the recording means of the management server 2.

As a result, as shown in FIG. 5E, the processing information is associated with the parent code (A1 in the figure) and recorded in the recording means of the management server 2. Although the processing information is associated with the parent code here, the processing information may be associated with the child code attached to the processed product.

FIG. 5F is a diagram showing a concept of operation of the system 1 when a processor packs it in a pouch. The processor appropriately removes the sticker from the child cord group and attaches it to the pouch to be used. You don't have to worry about the order of pasting and the correspondence. Then, the processor reads the bar code of the pasted child code (child codes a1 to an in FIG. 5F) using the processor side terminal 6. Similarly, when using stickers or IC tags other than barcodes, there is no need to worry about the order, and the processor terminal 6 is equipped with a means for reading child codes such as lot numbers and IC tags. It shall be.

Next, the processor inputs information on the subdivision (hereinafter, referred to as subdivision information) such as the subdivision unit (quantity, mass, capacity) and the subdivision method into the processor side terminal 6. The processor-side terminal 6 may be made to have the processor input frequently used subdivision information such as a subdivision unit and a subdivision method in advance, and may be stored.

When the input of the subdivision information is completed, the processor side terminal 6 associates the subdivision information with the child code, associates the child code with the parent code, and transmits the subdivision information to the management server 2. As a result, as shown in FIG. 5F, the subdivision information is associated with the child code (a1 to an in FIG. 5F), and the child code (a1 to an in FIG. 5F) is associated with the parent code (in FIG. 5F, in FIG. 5F. A1) will be tied. When there are a plurality of child codes, different subdivision information may be associated with each child code, for example, the child code a1 may be subdivided into 3 kilograms, and the child code an may be subdivided into 5 kilograms.

At the time of FIG. 5F, the parent code and the child code are linked for the first time. Up to this point, the producer and the processor can appropriately select a sticker from the provided parent or child code group and put it in the bag without worrying about the order or correspondence of the parent or child code to be pasted. I just pasted it and used each terminal to send the information to the management server 2. As described above, the system 1 of the present invention can appropriately record the history on the management server 2 even though the method of use is very simple.

In this way, the history of the distribution process in the middle is also recorded in the management server 2.

Up to this point, using FIGS. 5B to 5K, the transition of information on the management server 2 is shown for an example of the operation of the system 1 when n small bags are associated with one large bag. ,explained. It should be noted that the data structures shown in FIGS. 5B to 5K are merely described so that the associative situation can be easily imagined, and the actual data structure is not particularly limited.

Next, the data structure in the management server 2 when a complicated association is made will be described with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6D. Although the description of the linking of the arrival information and the shipping information at the middleman or the store is omitted, the arrival information and the shipping information are linked to each code as shown in FIGS. 5H to 5K. To go.

FIG. 6A is an example of a data structure in which a small bag is made from a plurality of large bags. Here, the case where the large bags A1 to Am are used for the small bags a1 to an is shown. As shown in FIG. 6A, the parent codes A1 to Am are associated with the child code a1. Further, the parent codes A1 to Am are associated with the child code an. In this way, it is possible to associate multiple parent codes with the child code, so even if there are multiple large bags as raw materials in the commercialized small bags, the history is recorded and viewed. become able to.

FIG. 6B is an example of a data structure when a pouch is made from a plurality of pouches. An example of a pouch being made from a pouch is when the pouch used as a raw material is a residue, a returned item, or a fractional item. Here, it is shown that the large bags B1 to Bp, which are the original raw materials, are used for the small bags b1 to bm, which are the raw materials. The association between the child codes b1 to bm and the parent codes B1 to Bp is the same as in the example of FIG. 6A. Then, the child codes b1 to bm are associated with the child codes a1 to an of the sachets a1 to an. In this way, since it is possible to associate the child code with the child code, even if the raw material of the commercialized pouch is a pouch, the history is recorded and can be browsed. In addition, in the management server 2, when the residual flag, the return flag, or the fraction flag is attached, the child code can be associated with the child code, but the child code and the child code can be linked by a method other than the flag. The association may be managed, and the present invention is not limited. The example of FIG. 6B is an embodiment of the invention according to claim 13. It should be noted that although there is a description referring to the claims in the specification, it is merely given as an example in order to help the understanding of the claims, and it is not intended to limit the interpretation of the present invention. Needless to say, I would like to add that (the same applies to other descriptions).

FIG. 6C is an example of a data structure when a large bag as a raw material is made of a plurality of large bags. An example of making a large bag from a large bag is a modification of the example shown in FIG. 5F. Specifically, a processor receives a large bag and mixes the received large bag to make a large bag. In this case, the parent codes C1 to Cq are associated with the parent codes A1 to Am. Normally, the parent code cannot be linked to the parent code, but as a special case, the processor terminal 6 obtains permission from the management server 2 so that the parent code can be linked to the parent code. , Make it possible to make such a link. This makes it possible to trace back to the history of the raw material of the large bag, which is the raw material of the small bag. If the producer himself makes a large bag by mixing multiple raw materials, the producer can record the history of the raw materials in the large bag by inputting the information of the raw materials mixed in the raw material information. Good.

FIG. 6D is an example of a data structure in which a large bag and a small bag are used as raw materials to make a small bag. The child code b1 uses large bags B1 to Bp as raw materials, as in the case shown in FIG. 6B. The raw materials for the sachets of the child codes a1 to an are the sachet of the child code b1 and the large bag of the parent code Am. In this way, the history can be traced even when the small bag and the large bag are used as raw materials.

It should be noted that the example of the data structure is merely an example in the embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the present invention, and any data structure can achieve the object of the present invention. Data structure may be used.

The rationale for the linking data structure as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D is further clarified by the flowcharts described in FIGS.

Here, an example of display when the consumer side terminal 8 reads the child code will be described. FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of display. In the example shown in FIG. 7, it is assumed that the pouch delivered to the consumer is commercialized by the raw materials A, B, C contained in the three large bags and other raw materials contained in the pouch. .. Speaking of the data structure, it is a data structure similar to the data structure of FIG. 6D, and the raw material of the pouch delivered to the consumer is three large bags of raw materials A, B, and C and one pouch of other raw materials. Is.

As shown in FIG. 7, the display example is roughly divided into a "product information" column and a "distribution history" column. In the "product information" column, the product name, capacity, production area, etc. are displayed, but mainly the information obtained from the subdivision information is displayed. Specifically, when the consumer terminal 8 reads the child code and accesses the management server 2, the management server 2 displays the information associated with the sent child code in the "product information" column. The information to be displayed is extracted and transmitted to the consumer side terminal 8, and the information sent to the consumer side terminal 8 is displayed. It is not necessary to send all the information recorded in the management server 2 to the consumer side terminal 8, public information and non-public information are clearly distinguished on the management server 2, and only the public information is the consumer. It is designed to be transmitted to the side terminal 8. In addition, as the information displayed in the "product information" column, information such as the producer name obtained from the raw material information may be used.

Next, the column of "distribution history" will be described. The "distribution history" column is roughly divided into a column A of "raw material display / distribution history", a column B of "commercialization history", and a column C of "commodity distribution history". In column A, the raw materials used are displayed. As the information displayed in column A, the raw material information of the parent code associated with the child code is used. However, since the other parts of the display example are child cords associated with the child cords, here, as others, the raw materials are checked more deeply so that the raw materials can be understood.

For example, when the raw material A is clicked or tapped, the raw material distribution history is displayed in detail. In the example shown in FIG. 7, the collector and the processing factory can confirm the raw material A from the producer. The raw materials B and C are the same as those of the raw material A. For other raw materials, when clicked or tapped, columns A to C are further displayed as other raw material information. Although not shown, for example, when other raw materials are made from a plurality of raw materials, tapping column A of the display of other raw material information will release the raw materials contained in the other raw materials. It will be displayed. Detailed information will be displayed for columns B and C of other raw materials by tapping them.

In the B column, the commercialization history is displayed, but in terms of the data structure, the information displayed in the B column is extracted from the processing information associated with the parent code. When the processing information is associated with the child code, the information displayed in the B column may be extracted from the processing information associated with the child code.

In column B, when the processor outsources the processing to another processor (consignment processing), the commercialization history at the second processing factory is displayed.

In column C, the distribution history of the product is displayed. In terms of the data structure, the information displayed in the C column is extracted from the arrival information and the shipping information associated with the parent code and the child code and displayed.

Since the tracing of the arrival information at the store is optional on the system 1, if there is no arrival information at the store, the store name column is left blank.

An example of the data structure shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D and an example of the display shown in FIG. 7 outline how the history information traced by the system 1 is displayed on the consumer side terminal 8. It can be understood. It should be noted that the display example shown here is merely an example and does not limit the present invention.

Based on the above outline understanding, the operation of the system 1 will be explained in detail with reference to the flowchart.

FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the overall flow of the system 1. Hereinafter, the overall flow of the system 1 will be described with reference to FIG. In FIG. 8, the recorded information recorded in the management server 2 is described in ().

First, the producer performs a shipping process using the producer-side terminal 4 (S101). At this time, the raw material information and the shipping information associated with the parent code are recorded in the management server 2.

Next, the middleman who obtained the raw material from the producer uses the middleman side terminal 5 to perform the arrival processing (S102) and the shipping processing (S103). At this time, the arrival information and the shipping information associated with the parent code are recorded in the management server 2.

Next, at the processing factory G where the raw material is obtained from the intermediate company, the receiving process is performed using the processor terminal 6 (S104). At this time, the arrival information associated with the parent code is recorded in the management server 2. If the received raw material is a returned item, the processor uses the processor terminal 6 to set a returned item flag for the child code (or parent code) attached to the returned item. When the received raw material is a residual material, the processor uses the processor terminal 6 to set a residual material flag for the child code assigned to the residual material. When the received raw material is a fractional item, the processor uses the processor terminal 6 to set a fractional item flag for the child code assigned to the fractional item. Returned items, leftovers, and fractions will be described later.

The processor stores the raw material after receiving the raw material (S104). When the raw material is processed after storage (S105), the processor terminal 6 associates the processing information with the parent code of the raw material. Here, at the time of processing, the weight before processing is weighed (S106), the weight after processing is measured (S107), the weight before processing and the weight after processing are calculated, and the yield at the time of processing is calculated (S). S108), the yield is included in the processing information. At this time, the processing information including the yield associated with the parent code is recorded in the management server 2. When the processing information is associated with the child code, the processing information is associated with the child code by the operation of S110. The weight before processing and the weight after processing, including their respective numerical values and their differences, are not recorded in the management server 2.

In the processing of S105, a single raw material is used, but a plurality of raw materials may be used. Therefore, when processing a plurality of raw materials in parallel with the processing of S105, the other raw materials are also processed with S106, S107, and S108 as in S109 to obtain processing information and other raw materials. Processing information is associated with the parent code of. The raw material may be 3 or more, and even when 3 or more raw materials are used, the processing of S106, S107, and S108 is performed for each raw material to obtain processing information, and the processing information is associated with the parent code. To do.

When the raw material is a returned item, a residual item, or a fractional item, the processing information is associated with the child code of the returned item, the residual item, or the fractional item in S108.

Fractions may appear during processing. In that case, a child code is assigned to the fraction, the fraction information (described later) is associated with the fraction, and the fraction information is recorded in the management server 2 (S111).

In addition, residuals may be left after processing. In that case, as shown in S112, a child code is assigned to the residuals, the residual information (described later) is associated with the residuals, and the residuals are recorded in the management server 2 (S112).

In S110, the processed product is subdivided and commercialized. At this time, the parent code as a raw material and the child code after commercialization are associated and recorded in the management server 2, and the child code is associated with the input subdivision information and recorded in the management server 2.

When the processing is outsourced to a factory other than the processor G, the processing is recorded in the management server 2 so that the processing can be understood as the outsourced processing.

After the subdivision, the processor G ships the subdivided products (S113). At this time, the management server 2 associates the shipping information with the child code. When the processing company H performs the consignment processing after shipping, the processing information, the subdivision information, and the shipping information are associated with the parent code or the child code in the same manner as in S105 to S110. It is also conceivable that the processor G sends the product to which the parent code is attached to the processor H without processing. In this case, the processor H associates the parent code of the large bag with the child code after commercialization, as in the operation of the previous processor G.

After that, assuming that the goods arrive at the middleman, the middleman associates the arrival information with the child code by using the middleman side terminal 5 (S115). As a result, the management server 2 records the arrival information in association with the child code. Next, assuming that the middleman ships the product, the middleman associates the shipping information with the child code by using the middleman side terminal 5 (S116). As a result, the management server 2 records the shipping information in association with the child code.

Finally, assuming that the product arrives at the store, the store associates the arrival information with the child code using the terminal 7 on the store side (S117). As a result, the management server 2 records the arrival information in association with the child code. Whether or not the retailer records the arrival information is arbitrary.

When the store returns the unsold goods, the returned goods arrive at the processor G (S118). At this time, the processor G uses the terminal 6 on the processor side to associate the child code of the returned product with information on the returned product (hereinafter, returned product information) such as where the returned product is from and the date and time of the returned product. At the same time, the management server 2 is made to attach the return flag corresponding to the child code by using the terminal 6 on the processor side. In addition, as an irregular case, products sold with the parent code attached will be treated as returned goods with the parent code attached, so regarding returned goods with the parent code Also, by setting the returned goods information and the returned goods flag, it can be used for processing.

Based on the above overall operation, the detailed operation of each terminal will be described with reference to the flowcharts shown in FIG. 9 and below.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing the operation of the producer-side terminal 4. The producer-side terminal 4 reads the parent code of the large bag (S201: first parent code reading means). Next, the producer-side terminal 4 causes the producer to input the raw material information of the product contained in the large bag (S202). Next, the producer-side terminal 4 causes the producer to input shipping information (S203). Then, the producer-side terminal 4 associates the parent code with the raw material information and the shipping information (raw material information associating means), and transmits data to the management server 2 (S204: parent code transmitting means). The management server 2 receives the data from the producer-side terminal 4 and stores the parent code, the raw material information, and the shipping information in association with each other (S205).

FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the operation of the intermediate trader side terminal 5 that has received the large bag. The intermediary terminal 5 reads the parent code of the large bag (S301). Next, the middleman side terminal 5 causes the middleman to input the arrival information (S302). Then, the intermediary terminal 5 associates the parent code with the arrival information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S303). The management server 2 receives the data from the intermediate company terminal 5 and stores the parent code and the arrival information in association with each other (S304).

Next, when shipping, the intermediary terminal 5 reads the parent code of the large bag (S305). Next, the middleman side terminal 5 causes the middleman to input the shipping information (S306). Then, the intermediary terminal 5 associates the parent code with the shipping information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S307). The management server 2 receives the data from the intermediate company terminal 5 and stores the parent code and the shipping information in association with each other (S308).

FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing the operation of the processor-side terminal 6 that has received the large bag. The processor side terminal 5 reads the parent code of the large bag (S401). Next, the processor side terminal 6 causes the intermediate company to input the arrival information (S402). Then, the processor side terminal 6 associates the parent code with the arrival information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S403). The management server 2 receives the data from the processor side terminal 6 and stores the parent code and the arrival information in association with each other (S404).

FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing the operation of the processor side terminal 6 when the processor processes the raw material. The processor-side terminal 5 reads the parent code of the large bag (S501: second parent code reading means). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 makes an error determination as to whether or not the impersonation has been performed (S502: error determination of the second parent code reading means). Various error determinations can be considered here, but an example will be described below.

For example, if the already processed parent code is read, it is determined that an error has occurred. This makes it impossible to read the parent code of the parent bag attached to the already empty large bag and use the product used for camouflage. This determination may be performed by the processor-side terminal 6 by itself, or the management server 2 determines and sends the determination result back to the processor-side terminal 6, and the processor-side terminal 6 notifies the error. May be good. The same applies to other error determinations described later.

If a child code to which the return flag, the residual flag, and the fraction flag are not added is read, it is determined that an error has occurred. This makes it impossible to read the child code and disguise the product.

Further, when the parent code to which the raw material information is not given is read, it is determined that an error occurs. If the raw material information is not given, it means that the product is not properly shipped by the producer, so it is possible to read such an empty parent code to prevent inflating or disguising the production area. be able to.

If the parent code is read more than once, it is determined that an error has occurred. As a result, it is possible to prevent the disguised product from being inflated while the parent code is read twice or more.

The error processing for the camouflage determination shown above is only an example, and various other camouflage determinations can be used in the present invention. When reading the parent code, error handling should be executed so that padding and production area camouflage are not performed.

If there is an error, in S508, the processor-side terminal 6 displays a display notifying the processor of the error and stops so as not to proceed to the next process (S509). This prevents the processor from performing any suspected camouflage that could result in an error. After the stop, the processor-side terminal 6 may request reloading.

If there is no error, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input the processing information (S503). At this time, although it is assumed that the yield has not been determined yet at this point, the yield may be input as processing information from the past experience value without performing the measurement by S504 described later.

After S503, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input the weight before processing and the weight after processing (S504). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 calculates the yield from the weight before processing and the weight after processing (S505). The yield obtained by this calculation will be added to the machining information. The operation of S503 may be performed after the operations of S504 and S505. The weight before processing and the weight after processing, including their respective numerical values and their differences, are not recorded in the management server 2.

The processor side terminal 6 associates the parent code with the processing information and transmits data to the management server 2 (S506: processing information transmitting means). The management server 2 receives the data from the processor side terminal 6 and stores the parent code and the processing information in association with each other (S507). In the case of the embodiment in which the child code and the processing information are associated with each other, the child code and the processing information are associated with each other and transmitted to the management server 2 in S708 of FIG. 14 described later.

FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the processor side terminal 6 when the processor processes the fraction. When the processor packs the fractions in a bag (S601), the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code of the packed fractions (S602). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 associates the read child code with the parent code as a raw material (S603). At this time, when a plurality of raw materials are used, a plurality of parent codes are associated with the read child code. When the raw material is a residue or a fraction, the child code of the residue or the fraction is associated with the read child code. If the returned item is the raw material, the child code (or parent code) of the returned item is associated with the read child code.

Next, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input information about the processor from which the fraction was obtained and information regarding the fraction (referred to as fraction information) such as the date and time (S604). After that, the processor-side terminal 6 transmits the data related to the parent code corresponding to the child code and the fractional information corresponding to the child code to the management server 2 (S605). The management server 2 receives the data from the processor side terminal 6 and stores the child code and the parent code in association with each other, and stores the fractional information in association with the child code (S606: claim). 11).

FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the operation of the processor side terminal 6 at the time of subdivision after processing. After the processor performs the subdivision work (S701), the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code attached to the pouch (S702: child code reading means). Then, the processor terminal 6 causes the processor to input the subdivision information and associates the child code with the subdivision information (S703: subdivision information associating means).

In S703, the subdivision information is input for each child code. For example, the child code a1 is input with the information of 10 kg as the subdivision information, the child code a2 is input with the information of 10 kg as the subdivision information, and the child code a3 is input with the subdivision information. Information of 5 km can be input, and information of 2 km can be input as subdivision information for the child code a4.

Next, the processor-side terminal 6 associates the read child code with the parent code as a raw material (S704: parent-child associating means). At this time, when a plurality of raw materials are used, a plurality of parent codes are associated with the read child code. When the raw material is a residue or a fraction, the child code of the residue or the fraction is associated with the read child code. If the returned item is the raw material, the child code (or parent code) of the returned item is associated with the read child code.

Next, the processor terminal 6 executes an error determination regarding the number of associations (S705: error determination of the parent-child association means). Various error processing regarding the number of associations can be considered, and for example, the following example can be considered. For example, the upper limit of the child code that can be associated with the parent code is calculated in consideration of the yield and the weight when subdividing, so that the child code exceeding the upper limit cannot be associated with the parent code. For example, in the case of rice grains, if the parent code has raw material information of 30 kg and the yield is 90%, 10% is garbage such as bran and stones at the time of rice milling. Therefore, even 30 kg of brown rice weighs 27 kg after milling. Therefore, if a small code is used for a 5 kg pouch, the number of child codes associated with the parent code is 5 kg x 5 bags = 25 kg, and the upper limit is five. If a child code is used for a 10 kg, 5 kg, or 2 kg pouch, four child codes, 10 kg x 2 bags, 5 kg x 1 bag, and 2 kg x 1 bag, are associated with the parent code. It turns out that. In addition, it is possible to associate 10 kg x 1 bag, 5 kg x 3 bags, and 2 kg x 1 bag. In addition, various combinations can be considered, but in any case, the upper limit of the number of child codes associated with the parent code is determined in consideration of the weight to be subdivided. Depending on the method of subdivision, the residue after processing may appear as a residue, but the handling of the residue will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. 15 described later. The error processing of the number of associations is not limited to the above, and the case where the combination of the parent code and the child code cannot be theoretically established may be determined as an error. ..

For example, if information such as 10 kg x 2 bags, 5 kg x 1 bag, 2 kg x 2 bags is input as subdivision information in S703, the raw material of the parent code is 30 kg and the yield is 90%. Since one bag of 2 kg is theoretically not valid, it is judged as an error.

If there is an error in the error processing of S705, the processor side terminal 6 gives an error notification (S710). After the error notification, the processor-side terminal 6 may stop the process or request the process to be redone.

Next, if it is determined in the error processing of S705 that there is no error, the processor side terminal 6 executes the error processing regarding the correspondence relationship of S706 (error determination of the parent-child associating means). The error handling for the correspondence is an example as follows.

For example, it is preferable that the child code is not associated with the parent code that has already been associated with the child code and has already been shipped. Further, the child code may not be attached to the parent code to which the raw material information is not associated.

If there is an error in the error processing of S706, the processor side terminal 6 issues an error notification (S710) and requests the processing to be stopped or the processing to be redone.

When it is determined that there is no error in the error processing of S706, the processor side terminal 6 transmits the data related to the child code and the parent code associated with the child code to the management server 2 and is associated with the child code. Data related to the subdivision information is transmitted to the management server 2 (S708: child code transmission means).

The management server 2 that receives the data from the processor side terminal 6 associates the child code with the parent code, and records the child code with the subdivision information (S709).

FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the operation of the processor-side terminal 6 with respect to the residue. It is assumed that the processor has leftovers after performing the subdivision work (S801). At this time, the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code attached to the pouch (S802). Then, the processor terminal 6 causes the processor to input information (referred to as residual information) regarding the residual such as the weight of the residual and the date and time of occurrence, and associates the residual information with the child code (S803).

Next, the processor-side terminal 6 associates the child code of the residue with the parent code of the raw material (S804: Example of the invention according to claim 10). At this time, when a plurality of raw materials are used, a plurality of parent codes are associated with the read child code. When the raw material is a residue or a fraction, the child code of the residue or the fraction is associated with the read child code. If the returned item is the raw material, the child code (or parent code) of the returned item is associated with the read child code.

As for the residuals, the following cases can be considered as an example. For example, in the case of rice grains, if the parent code has raw material information of 30 kg and the yield is 95%, 5% is garbage such as bran and stones at the time of rice milling. Therefore, even 30 kg of brown rice weighs 28.5 kg after milling. At this time, if the bag is divided into 10 kg x 2 bags, 5 kg x 1 bag, and 2 kg x 1 bag, 1.5 kg is leftover.

Normally, the residual amount is one bag, so if the residual information is associated with the child code, the child code can be associated with the parent code without being subject to the error determination in S705 of FIG. It should be possible.

After that, in S805, as in FIG. 14, the error determination of the correspondence relationship is performed, and if there is no error, the processor side terminal 6 transmits the data related to the child code and the parent code associated with the child code to the management server 2. At the same time, the data related to the residual information associated with the child code is transmitted to the management server 2 (S806). The management server 2 receives the data from the processor side terminal 6, associates the child code with the parent code associated with the child code, and associates the child code with the associated residual information. (S807).

FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the operation of the terminal 6 on the processor side at the time of shipment. The processor side terminal 6 reads the child code of the pouch (S901). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 makes an error determination (S902). This error determination is a process of determining whether or not the subdivision information and the parent code are associated with the child code. At the time of shipment, it is determined again whether or not there is any omission in the association, and the history is not recorded. This is a process to prevent the product from being shipped by mistake or a disguised product from being shipped.

If there is an error in S902, the processor-side terminal 6 notifies the error (S906) and prompts the processor to reprocess.

If there is no error in S902, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input the shipping information (S903), and transmits the data associated with the child code and the shipping information to the management server 2 (S904). The management server 2 receives the data from the processor side terminal 6 and records the child code and the shipping information in association with each other (S905).

FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the operation of the intermediate trader side terminal 5 that has received the pouch. The intermediary terminal 5 reads the child code of the pouch (S1001). Next, the intermediary company terminal 5 causes the intermediary company to input the arrival information (S1002). Then, the intermediary terminal 5 associates the child code with the arrival information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S1003). The management server 2 receives the data from the intermediate company terminal 5 and stores the child code and the arrival information in association with each other (S1004).

FIG. 18 is a flowchart showing the operation of the intermediate trader side terminal 5 when shipping the pouch. At the time of shipping, the intermediate company terminal 5 reads the child code of the pouch (S1101). Next, the intermediate company terminal 5 causes the intermediate company to input the shipping information (S1102). Then, the intermediary terminal 5 associates the child code with the shipping information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S1103). The management server 2 receives the data from the intermediate company terminal 5 and stores the child code and the shipping information in association with each other (S1104).

FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing the operation of the store-side terminal 7 that has received the pouch. The retailer-side terminal 7 reads the child code of the pouch (S1201). Next, the store-side terminal 7 causes the store to input the arrival information (S1202). Then, the store-side terminal 7 associates the child code with the arrival information and transmits the data to the management server 2 (S1203). The management server 2 receives the data from the store terminal 7 and stores the child code and the arrival information in association with each other (S1204).

FIG. 20 is a flowchart showing an operation when the processor-side terminal 6 accepts a returned product (example of the invention according to claim 12). When the processor accepts the returned goods (S1301), the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code (or parent code) attached to the returned goods (S1302). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input information (referred to as returned goods information) such as the date and time of receipt of the returned goods and the return source (S1303). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 transmits data in which the read child code (or parent code) is associated with the returned goods information to the management server 2 (S1304). The management server 2 records the returned goods information in association with the child code (or parent code) based on the data transmitted from the processor side terminal 6 (S1305), and returns the product to the child code (or parent code). A flag is added (S1306). After that, the management server 2 manages the child code (or parent code) to which the return flag is attached so that the child code can be further associated with the child code, so that the returned goods can be reused and traced. To.

FIG. 21 is a flowchart showing an operation when the processor terminal 6 accepts the residuals (example of the invention according to claim 12). When the processor accepts the residuals, the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code attached to the residuals (S1401). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input information (residual information) regarding the reception date and time of the residual, the source of the residual, and the like (S1402). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 transmits data in which the read child code and the residual information are associated with each other to the management server 2 (S1403). Based on the data transmitted from the processor side terminal 6, the management server 2 records the child code in association with the residual information (S1404), and adds the residual flag to the child code (S1404). After that, the management server 2 manages the child code to which the residual flag is attached so that the child code can be further associated with the child code, so that the residual can be reused and traced.

FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an operation when the processor terminal 6 accepts fractions (example of the invention according to claim 12). When the processor accepts the fraction, the processor-side terminal 6 reads the child code attached to the fraction (S1501). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 causes the processor to input information (fractional information) regarding the reception date and time of the fractional object, the source of the fractional object, and the like (S1502). Next, the processor-side terminal 6 transmits data in which the read child code and the fractional information are associated with each other to the management server 2 (S1503). Based on the data transmitted from the processor side terminal 6, the management server 2 records the child code in association with the fractional information (S1504), and adds the fractional flag to the child code (S1504). After that, the management server 2 manages the child code to which the fractional flag is attached so that the child code can be further associated with the child code, so that the fractional object can be reused and traced.

FIG. 23 is a flowchart showing the operation at the time of display on the consumer side terminal 8. The consumer-side terminal 8 reads the child code attached to the pouch (S1601). The child code includes connection information (URL, etc.) related to the network 9, and the consumer terminal 9 connects to the management server 2 via the network 9 based on the connection information, and the management server 2 The child code information is transmitted to the management server 2 to start communication with the management server 2 (S1602). The management server 2 transmits the information permitted to be disclosed to the consumer side terminal 8 based on the data related to the child code received from the consumer side terminal 8. As a result, the consumer-side terminal 8 receives the information permitted to be disclosed (S1603) and displays it (S1604).

As described above, in the embodiment of the present invention, the management server 2 associates the parent code and the child code with each other by associating the parent code identifier and the child code identifier, which are initially issued separately and independently, at the processor. Can be linked. As a result, consumers, etc. who receive the product to which the child code identifier is attached can browse the raw material and distribution history of the parent code, the processing history in commercialization, etc. by reading the child code. It will be possible. In the system 1 of the present invention, it is not necessary to introduce a printing machine for issuing a parent code on the producer side or a printing machine for issuing a child code on the processor side. , When attaching the parent code or child code to the packaging, it can be used without worrying about the order or correspondence of each code. Therefore, the producer or the processor can easily introduce the system 1 and use it easily.

Needless to say, the management server 2 may be realized not only by a single server but also by the cooperation of a plurality of servers.

Here, the dedicated application for reading the code will be described. The dedicated app runs on various terminals. When the code is read by the dedicated application, the terminal communicates with the management server 2 or the server for decoding on the network, or decodes the information in the code by the decoder in the application and sends it to the management server 2. The management server 2 transmits a data set of history information corresponding to the decoded information to the terminal side. Then, the dedicated application receives the transmitted decode set and displays based on the decode set. In this way, by using the dedicated application and acquiring the history information from the management server 2, it is possible to display it on the terminal side. Even if you try to read the code with a non-dedicated application, the history information cannot be displayed because the communication with the management server 2 cannot be performed normally.

(Example of processing when linking parent code and child code)
Next, an example of the determination process on the management server 2 after associating the parent code and the child code will be described with reference to FIGS. 24 to 27. For example, the process described below is a process useful for fraud prevention. After associating the parent code and the child code, for example, the time of shipment may be considered, but the case law processing described below may be performed separately from the time of shipment, not limited to the time of shipment.

FIG. 24 is a flowchart showing an example of the determination process in the management server 2 after associating the parent code and the child code. In FIG. 24, the management server 2 recognizes the weight corresponding to (linked) to the parent code after the association between the parent code and the child code is completed (S1701). For example, the weight of the raw material is associated with the raw material information or shipping information of FIG. 5C, and is associated with, for example, S205 of FIG.

Next, the management server 2 recognizes the total weight of the pouch associated with the child code associated with the parent code (S1702). For example, in the case of the example of FIG. 5F, the child code associated with the parent code A1 is a1 to an. In such a case, the management server 2 has the weight associated with the child code a1 to an. To calculate the total weight. The case of a complicated associative state as shown in FIGS. 6A to 6D will be described later.

The order in which S1701 and S1702 are performed and the flow of the flow are not particularly limited. For example, when the pouch is shipped or in the pre-shipment determination process, when the child code corresponding to the pouch is read, the determination process starts, and the management server 2 recognizes the parent code corresponding to the child code. The weight of the parent code may be recognized, and all the child codes associated with the parent code may be recognized to recognize the total weight of all the child codes. In any case, if the weight of the parent code and the total weight of the child code are recognized by the management server 2, it does not matter what kind of flow the recognition is performed.

Then, the management server 2 determines the type of rice grain to which the child code is attached based on a predetermined determination criterion (S1703). Various predetermined determination criteria can be considered, but here, the determination criteria shown in FIG. 25 is shown as an example. However, the judgment criteria are not limited to those shown in FIG. 25, and can be appropriately changed according to the actual conditions of the agricultural products to be used and the industry.

FIG. 25 is a table showing the criteria for determining the degree of milling of white rice, split rice, and brown rice as the determination criteria. In FIG. 25, the management server 2 determines the type of rice based on the percentage value when the total weight of the pouch associated with the child code is divided by the weight of the parent code. If the percentage value is less than 90%, it means that the bran has been scraped off by 10% or more of the brown rice in the large bag with the parent code. It can be determined that it is white rice. Further, when the percentage value is 90% or more and less than 92%, it can be determined that the percentage value is 3/4. Similarly, if the percentage value is 92% or more and less than 95%, it is judged to be brown rice, if it is 95% or more and less than 98%, it is judged to be three minutes, and if it is 98% or more and 100% or less, it is judged to be brown rice. it can.

The management server 2 outputs the determination result to the processor side terminal, and the confirmation is performed on the processor side terminal (S1704). If the processor operating the terminal on the processor side has no mistake in the determination result, the confirmation result is transmitted to the management server 2 (S1704). Then, the management server 2 records the determination result in association with the child code (S1705). The management server 2 may record the determination result in association with the parent code. As a result, the distributor, the consumer, and the like can confirm the type of rice determined by the management server 2 as information on traceability.

Here, a case where there is an error in the determination result will be described. For example, if the product enclosed in a pouch is white rice, but the judgment result is brown rice, what does it mean? For example, a large bag of 30 kg of brown rice. On the other hand, 6 sachets of 5 kg were produced. However, it is impossible to produce a total of 30 kg of white rice sachets from a 30 kg brown rice sachet. In such a case, the large bag originally contained 30 kg or more of brown rice, depending on the processor. Either the padding was performed during processing, or the yield assumed by the management server 2 was inaccurate.

Regarding the yield by the management server 2, it is possible to improve the accuracy by repeating the production, and the producer can accurately input the raw material information and the shipping information of the large bag to obtain the information of the large bag. It is also possible to increase the accuracy.

However, improper inflating of raw materials on the processor side results in a problem on the ethics of the processor side. If the system of the present invention is used, the determination result is recorded as traceability information. Therefore, if the padding is performed illegally, the record of brown rice remains even though the shipped pouch is white rice. Therefore, it is practically impossible for a processor to perform such an illegal padding.

Therefore, it is expected to prevent unauthorized padding by determining the type of product based on the weight of the parent code and the total weight of the child code associated with the parent code and recording the determination result. it can.

If the processor is not fraudulent, it is advisable to notify S1704 that the management server 2 has a determination error and change the history information to the correct one.

In addition, although not all cases are fraudulent by the processor, if such a determination error occurs frequently, it is advisable to check the rice milling status at the processor by the administrator of the management server.

In addition, although FIG. 25 describes the determination of the type of rice cereal, FIG. 26 shows other determination criteria. FIG. 26 is a diagram for explaining a method of authenticity determination by the management server 2. In FIG. 26, the percentage value is the same as in FIG. 25, but the type of rice grain self-reported by the processor is recorded in the management server 2 as “contents registered in the child code by the processor”. Then, the management server 2 determines that the registered contents and the type determined by the management server 2 are true, and if they do not match, it is determined to be fake. For example, in the case of FIG. 26, when the percentage value is less than 90%, if a indicates white rice, it is determined to be true, and if a is other than white rice, it is determined to be fake. .. Other percentage values can be determined in the same manner as shown in FIG. Such a judgment result may be disclosed as traceability information, but it is kept private and recorded on the management server 2 side. , It will be possible to take measures such as providing guidance.

FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing an operation example of display on the consumer terminal side or a terminal on which history information can be viewed. By displaying the type of rice registered by the processor on the consumer terminal side (S1801) and displaying the type of rice or the authenticity judgment result determined by the management server (S1802), the consumer terminal side or the like can display the type of rice. It is also possible to confirm the authenticity of the product. It should be noted that the type of rice and the authenticity determination result are not displayed on the consumer terminal side or the like, and may only be recorded as non-public information on the management server 2 as history information, and only those who have viewing authority can view the rice. You may be able to do it.

Next, the case of a complicated associative state will be described. When a small bag is made from a plurality of large bags as shown in FIG. 6A, the total weight associated with the parent cord of all the large bags is calculated. Then, the total weight of all the sachets associated with the parent code of all the sachets is calculated. This makes it possible to calculate the total weight of all large bags ÷ the total weight of all small bags. Then, based on the calculation result, it is possible to determine the type and authenticity of the rice in the same manner as in FIGS. 25 and 26.

When a pouch is made from a plurality of pouches as shown in FIG. 6B, the total weight associated with the child cords of all the pouches (raw material pouches) is calculated. Then, the total weight of all the sachets (commercialized sachets) associated with the small cords of all the raw material sachets is calculated. Naturally, the weight is recorded in association with the child code of each pouch. This makes it possible to calculate the total weight of all the raw material sachets divided by the total weight of all the commercialized sachets. Then, based on the calculation result, it is possible to determine the type and authenticity of the rice in the same manner as in FIGS. 25 and 26.

In the case of FIG. 6C, the determination can be made in the same manner as in the case of FIG. 6A.

As shown in FIG. 6D, when the raw material bag is a mixture of a large bag and a small bag, the total weight associated with the parent or child cord of all the raw material large bags or small bags is calculated. Then, the total weight of all commercialized sachets associated with the parent or subcord of the large bag or sachet that is the raw material is calculated. This makes it possible to calculate the total weight of all the raw materials, the large bag or the small bag, and the total weight of all the commercialized small bags. Then, based on the calculation result, it is possible to determine the type and authenticity of the rice in the same manner as in FIGS. 25 and 26.

When a plurality of small bags are made from one large bag, it can be considered that the total weight of the one large bag is only one. Therefore, the weight of one large bag is also the weight. It can be said that it is the sum of.

In addition, although the rice milling has been described above, it is possible to make a determination in the same manner for the refining of grains other than rice. When the crop is rice cereals, the degree of rice polishing (white rice, brown rice, mashing) recognized by the ratio of the weight associated with the parent code to the weight of the child code (percentage value in the above example) is used as a predetermined criterion. By using rice), it is possible to increase the possibility of preventing fraud.

Further, the above determination can be used not only for rice grains but also for agricultural products whose weight increases or decreases due to processing. For example, if a large bag (including a large box, the same applies to others) contains multiple potatoes, and the total weight of the potatoes in the small bag is larger than the weight of the large bag, the potatoes may be discarded. There may be fraud such as potatoes that have been returned. For example, if you have multiple leeks in large bag, if you have multiple leek sachets (aliquots were bundle including. Other as well), with leeks were sachets, than weight of the large bag If the total weight of the pouch is large, there may be fraud such as the inclusion of green onions that have been discarded or returned. In addition, the above-mentioned determination method can be used for agricultural products whose fraud can be detected by increasing or decreasing the weight.

As described above, in the above determination process, the sum of the weights associated with the parent code (which can be conceptualized simply by expressing it as weight) and the sum of the weights of the child codes associated with the parent code (similarly). It is possible to determine the type of crop , authenticity, etc. based on a predetermined criterion based on (which can be conceptualized simply by expressing it as weight). Taking rice cereals as an example, in other words, the management server determines the type and authenticity of the commercialized rice cereals based on the total weight recorded for the raw material rice cereals and the total weight after commercialization. It becomes possible to do. The management server can be expected to prevent unauthorized processing by recording the determination result as history information.

In the above embodiment, agricultural products are used as products, but the traceability system of the present invention can also be used for foods other than agricultural products, and foods received from producers are subdivided and commercialized. It can be used for all foods sold in Japan. The present invention is also useful as a food traceability system.

The traceability system of the present invention is most suitable for history recording of rice cereals, but the target of history recording is not limited to rice cereals.

Although the present invention has been described in detail above, the above description is merely an example of the present invention in all respects, and the scope thereof is not intended to be limited. Needless to say, various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention.

The present invention has industrial applicability with respect to traceability systems.
