Food A1 and food 1B are both secondary products and are the same food. However, the production date of food 1B is earlier than that of food 1A (in other words, food 1B is produced before food 1A).

Here, the food 1A is a food that is also traded as a single unit, and is distributed at a price (fixed price) of 1,100 yen (excluding tax: 1,000 yen). That is, in the present embodiment, the case where the food is provided together with the food 1B is taken as an example, but the food 1A alone is a food that is provided in the market.
Food 1A is a food whose best-before date has not yet passed (because the best-before date has not yet passed, the expiration date has not yet passed). Specifically, the food 1A is a food whose expiration date is May 31, 2022.

Food 1B is priced at 110 Yen (100 Yen excluding tax).

[effect]
In one example of the food product to which the present invention is applied, since the food 1A and the food 1B are integrated, when providing the food 1A, not only the food 1A but also the food 1B are inevitably provided. It will happen. In this way, the food 1B can be provided to consumers together with the food 1A, and food loss can be reduced by suppressing the disposal of the food 1B.

In one example of a food product to which the present invention is applied, the price of food 1B is set at a low price (specifically, the regular price of 1,000 yen is set at 100 yen), and the consumption of food 1A is For the consumer, the food 1B, which is the same food as the food 1A, can be purchased at a good price, and thus the consumer's willingness to purchase can be aroused.

By the way, even if the food 1B is sold alone at a low price (for example, the food 1B is sold for 100 yen regardless of the food 1A), a certain number of sales can be expected.
However, for those who wish to purchase food 1A (consumers), the food they want to obtain (want to purchase) is food 1A. Therefore, even if food 1B is sold alone, it is not possible to meet consumer expectations. Further, for food providers (distributors of food 1A and food 1B), even if food 1B is sold alone, it does not contribute to sales expansion, and there is a possibility that continuous sales will be difficult.
Therefore, in one example of the food product according to the present embodiment, by integrating the food 1A and the food 1B, the consumer's need to obtain (purchase) the food 1A is met, and the sales of the food provider are increased. In addition, by providing food 1B to consumers, food loss has been reduced.

Here, "food of the same kind and kind" means a relationship in which foods can be regarded as the same food. For example, cream buns and jam buns are similar in that they are sweet buns, but they are not the same type of food because they are different types of sweet buns. In addition, if cream buns have different cream colors, they are not the same type of food. In other words, different colors in appearance are not the same type of food. Also, even if red wine and white wine are produced using the same farming method and from the same farm, they are not in a relationship that can be considered the same as food, so they cannot be said to be of the same kind.

<2. Second Embodiment>
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram for explaining an example of the configuration of a sales system for food products to which the present invention is applied. is a configuration example of a system for

A food product sales system 11 shown in FIG. 3 is configured to exchange various information with a consumer terminal 13 used by a person (consumer) who wishes to purchase a food product via the Internet 12 .

The food product sales system 11 also has inventory information recording means 14A and 14B, inventory information confirmation means 15, price calculation means 16, and information output means 17. FIG.

Here, the inventory information recording means 14A stores at least information 14Aa on the name of the food 1A, information 14Ab on the inventory quantity of the food 1A, information 14Ac on the expiration date of the food 1A, and information 14Ad on the expiration date of the food 1A. , and price information 14Ae of the food 1A.
Specifically, for food 1A whose best-before date has not yet reached (because the best-before date has not yet reached, the expiration date has not yet reached), the name, number of stocks, best-before date, expiration date, and price are recorded. be done.

In addition, the inventory information recording means 14B includes at least information 14Ba of the name of the food 1B, information 14Bb of the inventory quantity of the food 1B, information 14Bc of the expiration date of the food 1B, information 14Bd of the expiration date of the food 1B, Information 14Be of the price (fixed price) of the food 1B can be recorded.
Specifically, the name, number of items in stock, expiration date, use-by date, and price (fixed price) are recorded for food 1B whose expiration date has passed but whose expiration date has not yet arrived.

In addition, the inventory information confirmation means 15 records inventory information when the consumer requests the information on the food 1A, or the information on the food 1B, or the information on the food product A. It is configured so that the stock quantity recorded in means 14A and 14B can be confirmed.
Specifically, when information indicating a desire to output information on food 1A, food 1B, or food product A is received from the consumer terminal 13, information 14Ab on the stock quantity of food 1A and the stock quantity of food 1B are received. The information 14Bb is accessed to confirm the inventory quantity.

Note that the inventory information confirmation means 15, in addition to the "inventory quantity information 14Ab of the food 1A" and the "inventory quantity information 14Bb of the food 1B", has the "expiration date 14Ad of the food 1A" and the "expiration date 14Bd of the food 1B". ” is confirmed. When the expiration date 14Ad of the food 1A has passed, the food 1A is judged to be out of stock, and when the expiration date 14Bd of the food 1B has passed, the food 1B is judged to be out of stock.

In addition, the price calculation means 16, when the consumer requests the information of the food 1A, when the consumer requests the information of the food 1B, or when the consumer requests the information of the food product A, the inventory information recording means It is configured so that the price recorded in 14A can be confirmed.
Specifically, when receiving information from the consumer terminal 13 requesting information output of the food 1A, food 1B, or food product A, access the price information 14Ae of the food 1A to confirm the price. conduct.

Further, the price calculation means 16 calculates the price of the food 1B according to the "days elapsed from the expiration date information 14Bc of the food 1B" and the "price (fixed price) information 14Be of the food 1B".
For example, if the price (fixed price) of food 1B is 1,000 yen, if it is one day past the expiration date, it will be 200 yen (80% discount on the list price), and if it is two days past the expiration date, is 100 yen (90% discount of list price), 50 yen (95% discount of list price) if three days past expiration date, 10 yen (99% discount of list price) if four days or more past expiration date ).

In addition, "the number of days elapsed from the information 14Bc of the expiration date of the food 1B" is based on the date when the consumer requested the information (in other words, based on the date when the price calculation means 16 calculates the price), the food It is calculated in comparison with the expiration date information 14Bc of 1B. In the case of the present embodiment, it is determined that "one day has passed since the expiration date" for the food 1B based on January 21, 2022.

Further, the information output means 17 is configured to be capable of outputting information to the consumer terminal 13 based on the confirmation results and calculation results of the inventory information confirmation means 15 and the price calculation means 16 .
The output information of the information output means 17 in this embodiment is as follows.

(When food 1A and food 1B are in stock)
As a result of confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, when the food 1A and the food 1B are in stock, it is indicated that "all of the food 1A, the food 1B, and the food product A can be sold" and "the food 1A, Price information for food 1B and food product A" is output.

(If food 1A is out of stock)
As a result of confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if only the food item 1A is out of stock (in other words, if only the food item 1B is in stock), the following message will be displayed: and that only the food item 1B can be sold" and "price information of the food item 1B" are output.

(If food 1B is out of stock)
As a result of confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, if only the food 1B is out of stock (in other words, if only the food 1A is in stock), it is determined that "because food 1B is out of stock, sales of food 1B and food product A and that only food 1A can be sold" and "price information of food 1A" are output.

(When food 1A and food 1B are out of stock)
When the food 1A and the food 1B are out of stock as a result of confirmation by the inventory information confirmation means 15, the message "The food 1A, the food 1B, and the food product A cannot be sold because the food 1A and the food 1B are out of stock. Effect” is output.

Note that, in the present embodiment, as in the first embodiment, the description is based on January 21, 2022 as a reference. For example, the inventory information recording means 14A records the information of the food 1A whose best-before date has not yet arrived, and the inventory information recording means 14B records the information of the food 1B whose best-before date has passed. I am explaining.
However, whether or not the expiration date has passed (whether or not the expiration date has passed) depends on the judgment reference date. It is determined whether or not the food has passed the expiration date.

Specifically, if food A has a best-before date of May 31, 2022, and food B has a best-before date of January 20, 2022, then (1) January 20, 2022 Before 2022, both food A and food B fall under food 1A (in other words, food that has not reached its expiration date), and (2) from January 21, 2022 to May 31, 2022, Food A corresponds to food 1A (in other words, food that has not reached its expiration date), food B corresponds to food 1B (in other words, food that has passed its expiration date), and (3) 2022 After June 1, both food A and food B fall under food 1B (in other words, food whose best-before date has passed).

More specifically, the inventory information confirming means 15 records the inventory information recording means 14A and 14B on the basis of the date when the consumer requested information (in other words, on the basis of the date on which the inventory information confirming means 15 confirms the inventory quantity). After determining which of food 1A and food 1B corresponds to each of food A and food B recorded in , the inventory information of food 1A and food 1B is confirmed.

Therefore, even when the information recorded in the inventory information recording means 14A and 14B does not change (specifically, when the expiration date information of the food A and the food B does not change), (1) (2) ) and (3), the information output by the information output means 17 changes.

[effect]
In the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied, even if the consumer desires information on the food 1A (in other words, does not desire information on the food 1B), the stock of the food 1B By outputting information about food 1B and food product A on the condition that there is a can.

In addition, in the food product sales system 11 to which the present invention is applied, information on the price of the food 1B can be output, and the consumer can be informed that the price of the food 1B is set at a low price. of purchase intention can be aroused.
