First, in step SP1, the person in charge of the fishermen's cooperative association 3 uses the Web browser of the fishermen's cooperative association terminal 30 to access the Web application for the fishing fish purchase service provided by the operator's server 20S. Then, the person in charge of the fishing cooperative 3 concludes a term contract for the fishing fish purchase service with the service provider 2 on this Web application. This contract is a contract for the fishery cooperative 3 to purchase the fish caught by the angler 5 for a predetermined period (for example, one month).

During the period contract for the fishing fish purchase service, in step SP2, the person in charge at the fishery cooperative 3 uses the web browser of the operator terminal 20T to access the web application provided by the operator server 20S at any time (for example, every morning). The user accesses the Web application and inputs the type of fish that can be purchased and the purchase price. The control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S stores and manages the type of fish that can be purchased and the purchase price input from the fishery cooperative terminal 30 in the storage unit 22 as fish information by the information management unit 28 .

On the other hand, when the person in charge of the service provider 2 accesses the provider server 20S using the web browser of the provider terminal 20T, and recognizes that the fishery cooperative 3 has signed a term contract, in step SP3, A rental consignment contract for the IoT cooler box 60 is concluded with the fishing tackle shop 4, and the fishing tackle shop 4 is asked to place the IoT cooler box 60 for rental.

At step SP4, the angler 5 activates the application for the fishing purchase service installed in the angler terminal 50, and applies for use of the fishing purchase service on this application. Specifically, the angler 5 inputs angler identification information such as a user ID and account information indicating a transfer destination of the payment on the application. The control unit 51 of the angler's terminal 50 transmits the information input on the application for the fishing purchase service to the business server 20S through the communication unit 55 as usage application information.

When the control unit 21 of the operator server 20S receives the usage application information from the angler terminal 50 through the second communication unit 24, the information management unit 28 stores and manages this as angler information of the angler 5 in the storage unit 22. do. Then, in step SP5, the control unit 21 of the operator server 20S sends usage permission information indicating permission to use the fishing purchase service (for example, permission to use only one day) to the angler terminal 50 that has transmitted the usage application information. Send. This use permission information indicates that the use of the fishing fish purchase service is permitted, and that the IoT cooler box 60 is rented from the fishing tackle shop 4 and is instructed to be registered.

When the control unit 51 of the angler's terminal 50 receives the use permission information from the business operator server 20S through the communication unit 55, it is displayed on the application for the fish purchase service, thereby allowing the angler 5 to confirm it. At step SP6, the angler 5 rents the IoT cooler box 60 from the fishing gear shop 4 based on this usage permission information. Here, in order to register the IoT cooler box 60, the angler 5 follows the instructions displayed on the application of the fishing fish purchase service, and the box identification information (bar code) is imaged by the camera unit 54 of the angler terminal 50 .

At step SP7, the control unit 51 of the angler terminal 50 transmits the box identification information captured by the camera unit 54 together with the angler identification information input at step SP4 to the business operator server 20S through the communication unit 55. When the control unit 21 of the provider server 20S receives the box identification information together with the angler identification information from the angler terminal 50 through the second communication unit 24, the information management unit 28 stores and manages the box identification information. It is stored and managed in the storage unit 22 as angler information of the angler 5 . At this point, the angler identification information, the account information, and the box identification information are associated and registered as the angler information of the angler 5 in the storage unit 22 of the operator server 20S. Here, the business operator server 20S may transmit a registration completion notice of the IoT cooler box 60 to the angler terminal 50 .

After registering the IoT cooler box 60 in this way, the angler 5 heads to the fishing spot and starts fishing. Then, when a fish is caught, the lid portion 62 of the IoT cooler box 60 is opened, the caught fish is placed in the accommodation portion 61, and the lid portion 62 is closed.

In step SP8, when the opening/closing detection sensor 63 detects that the lid 62 is closed, the control unit 64 of the IoT cooler box 60 captures an image of the internal space of the storage unit 61 with the camera unit 66 (that is, the storage unit 61 The image data is obtained by imaging the fish put in the storage unit 65, and the image data and the box identification information stored in the storage unit 65 are transmitted by the communication unit 67 to the provider server 20S.

In the next step SP10, the control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S acquires the purchase price corresponding to the identified fish type from the fish information stored and managed in the storage unit 22 by the fish price acquisition unit 29. Then, the fish price acquisition unit 29 acquires the purchase price as game fish information, which indicates the type of fish, the number of each type, the purchase price per fish for each type, the total purchase price, and the current time (that is, the date and time when the fish was caught). Generate pricing information. This purchase price information is, for example, character information such as "3 red sea bream, purchase price (reference), 2000 yen per fish, 6000 yen in total for 3 fish, fishing date and time 2019/1/1/7:30". The fish purchase price indicated in the purchase price information is a guideline, and the actual purchase price may fluctuate depending on the size, freshness, etc., or a handling fee may be deducted from the purchase price.

The control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S stores and manages the purchase price information thus generated in the storage unit 22 by the information management unit 28 in association with the angler information of the angler 5 . Then, in the next step SP11, the control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S transmits this purchase price information to the angler terminal 50 through the second communication unit 24 in response to the request from the angler terminal 50 of the angler 5. do. On the side of the angler terminal 50, the received purchase price information can be confirmed on the application for the fish purchase service.

Note that the processing of steps SP8 to SP11 is executed each time the angler 5 opens and closes the IoT cooler box 60 (that is, each time the caught fish is put into the IoT cooler box 60), and the operator server 20S The purchase price information generated each time is transmitted to the angler terminal 50 of the angler 5.

The angler 5 checks the purchase price information every time he catches a fish and puts it in the IoT cooler box 60, so that he can know the kind of fish he put in and the rough estimate of the purchase price. In other words, the angler 5 can easily determine which of the caught fish to sell to the fishermen's cooperative association 3 and which to bring back by themselves, etc., based on this purchase price information. This purchase price information also serves as an opportunity for the angler 5 to sell expensive fish to the fishermen's cooperative association 3 . The control unit 51 of the angler terminal 50 accumulates the purchase price information acquired from the business operator server 20S in the storage unit 52 so that the history of the purchase price information can be checked at any time on the application of the fish purchase service. It's becoming

After that, the angler 5 who has finished fishing returns the IoT cooler box 60 to the fishing gear store 4 with the fish he wants to purchase in it in step SP12. In step SP13, the clerk of the fishing gear store 4 sends the returned IoT cooler box 60 to the fishery cooperative 3 by cool delivery.

When the person in charge of the fishery cooperative 3 receives the IoT cooler box 60, he or she uses the Web browser of the fishery cooperative terminal 30 to access the Web application for the fish purchase service provided by the operator server 20S, and is connected to the fishery cooperative terminal 30. A box identification information reader (not shown) reads the box identification information (barcode) attached to the IoT cooler box 60 . As a result, the box identification information of the IoT cooler box 60 is input to the web application provided by the provider server 20S.

Furthermore, in step SP14, the person in charge of the fishery cooperative 3 takes out the fish from the IoT cooler box 60, checks it, determines the purchase price for each fish, and calculates the total purchase price. Then, the person in charge of the fishermen's cooperative association 3 uses the fishermen's cooperative association terminal 30 to input the total purchase price on the web application provided by the business server 20S, and presses the completion button on the web application. This purchase price is the amount obtained by subtracting the commission received by the fishermen's cooperative association 3 from the actual selling price (that is, the wholesale price). The control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S executes transfer processing for transferring the total amount of the purchase price input from the fishery cooperative terminal 30 from the account of the fishery cooperative 3 to the account of the service business operator 2 . It is assumed that the account information indicating the account of the fishery cooperative 3 and the account information indicating the account of the service provider 2 are registered in the storage unit 22 .

Subsequently, the control unit 21 of the business operator server 20S calculates the amount obtained by subtracting the commission received by the service operator 2 and the commission paid to the fishing gear store 4 from the total purchase price input from the fishery cooperative terminal 30. . This amount is finally paid to the angler 5. Then, in step SP15, the control unit 21 of the operator server 20S executes transfer processing for transferring the fee to the account of the fishing tackle shop 4 based on the account information of the fishing tackle shop 4 registered in the storage unit 22. do. As a result, the commission has been paid to the fishing tackle store 4 .
