Each user of the garbage information service uses a garbage bag 41 on which an identification code 5 including identification information of the garbage bag 41 is printed when discharging garbage. The user discharges garbage using different garbage bags 41 depending on the sorting type and capacity of the garbage to be stored. The garbage bags 41 are sold at stores or distributed by local governments and the like for use by users.

The identification code 5 is, for example, a bar code or a two-dimensional code. The identification code 5 may be added to the garbage bag 41 by pasting on the garbage bag 41 a print medium 42 such as a paper medium or a sticker sheet on which the identification code 5 is printed. In addition, for garbage that is discharged without using the garbage bag 41, such as large garbage, the identification code 5 can be added to the garbage by pasting the print medium 42 on which the identification code 5 is printed. good. The identification code 5 is generated including a garbage ID that identifies the garbage bag 41, print medium 42, etc. to which the identification code 5 is attached. Note that the identification code 5 may be an IC tag including a garbage ID. The identification code 5 is acquired by each user terminal device 2 at the time of garbage discharge, and is transmitted to the information processing device 1.

The information processing device 1 is, for example, a server computer. The information processing device 1 collects garbage information regarding garbage discharge from the user terminal device 2, and provides information regarding garbage information services based on the collected garbage information. In the first embodiment, the information processing device 1 will be described as one server computer, but functions or processing may be distributed among multiple server computers, or multiple servers virtually generated on one large computer may be used. It may be one of the server computers (instances).

Each of the user terminal devices 2 is a general-purpose information terminal device having a function for reading the identification code 5 and a communication function, such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. A user can use the user terminal device 2 to send garbage information about the garbage he or she generates to the information processing device 1, and receive information provided by the information processing device 1 based on the garbage information sent. Note that a user of the information processing system 100 may be, for example, an individual user, or a corporate user such as a company, hospital, restaurant, or workshop.

The configuration and detailed processing contents of such information processing system 100 will be described below.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of each device making up the information processing system 100. As described above, the user terminal device 2 uses a smartphone. The user terminal device 2 includes a control section 20, a storage section 21, a communication section 22, a display section 23, an operation section 24, a reading section 25, and a position information acquisition section 26.

The control unit 20 may be configured as one piece of hardware (SoC: System On a Chip) that integrates a processor, a memory, a storage unit 21, and a communication unit 22. The control unit 20 executes information processing based on the terminal program 2P stored in the storage unit 21.

The storage unit 21 uses nonvolatile memory such as flash memory. The storage unit 21 stores not only the terminal program 2P but also other programs and data that the control unit 20 refers to. For example, the terminal program 2P is an application program for registering and referencing information regarding garbage. The terminal program 2P may be recorded in a computer-readable manner on a recording medium. The storage unit 21 stores the terminal program 2P read from the recording medium by a reading device (not shown). Alternatively, the terminal program 2P may be downloaded from an external computer (not shown) connected to a communication network (not shown) and stored in the storage unit 21.

The communication unit 22 is a wireless communication module that realizes transmission and reception of information with the information processing device 1 via the network N. The communication unit 22 may perform wired communication via the network N using a network card.

The display unit 23 uses a display device such as a liquid crystal panel or an organic EL (Electro Luminescence) display. The operation unit 24 is an interface that accepts user operations, and uses physical buttons, a touch panel device with a built-in display, and the like. The operation unit 24 may use a speaker, a microphone, etc. (not shown), recognize the operation content from the input voice with the microphone, and accept the operation in an interactive format with the voice output from the speaker.

The reading unit 25 is a reader that reads the identification code 5. The reading unit 25 is, for example, a barcode reader, a camera, a wireless tag reader, or the like. The reading section 25 notifies the control section 20 of the read identification code 5.

The position information acquisition unit 26 measures the position of the user terminal device 2, including an antenna that receives signals based on, for example, GPS (Global Positioning System). The location information acquisition unit 26 may specify the location by communicating with a plurality of access points and base stations included in the network N. The position information acquisition unit 26 outputs position information (for example, latitude and longitude) indicating the measured position to the control unit 20.

As described above, the information processing device 1 uses a server computer. The information processing device 1 includes a control section 10, a storage section 11, and a communication section 12.

The control unit 10 is a processor using one or more CPUs, GPUs, etc., and controls each component using built-in memories such as ROM and RAM to execute processing. The control unit 10 executes information processing based on the program 1P stored in the storage unit 11.

The communication unit 12 is a communication module for performing processing related to communication. The control unit 10 is capable of communication via the network N by the communication unit 12.

The storage unit (storage device) 11 can use a nonvolatile storage medium. Examples of nonvolatile storage media include hard disks and SSDs (Solid State Drives). The storage unit 11 stores a program 1P for managing garbage information and executing processing related to providing information based on the garbage information, and also stores other programs and data referred to by the control unit 10. The program 1P may be recorded in a computer-readable manner on a recording medium. The storage unit 11 stores a program 1P read from a recording medium by a reading device (not shown). Alternatively, the program 1P may be downloaded from an external computer (not shown) connected to a communication network (not shown) and stored in the storage unit 11.

The storage unit 11 further stores a garbage information DB (Data Base) 111. In the trash information DB 111, various kinds of information regarding trash associated with the identification code 5 are recorded or managed. The garbage information DB 111 includes a discharge information DB 112 and a privilege information DB 113. The trash information DB 111 may be stored in an external storage device connected to the information processing device 1.

FIG. 3 is a diagram showing an example of the content of information stored in the discharge information DB 112. The information processing device 1 acquires information regarding waste discharge associated with the identification code 5 from the user terminal device 2, and stores it in the discharge information DB 112. The discharge information DB 112 stores garbage discharge information in association with a garbage ID that identifies the garbage information. The garbage ID is included in the identification code 5. The discharge information may include a user ID, reading date and time, reading location, and the like. The user ID is information that identifies the user who discharged the garbage to which the identification code 5 has been added. The reading date/time and reading location are the date/time and location where the identification code 5 was read by the user terminal device 2.

FIG. 4 is a diagram showing an example of the content of information stored in the benefit information DB 113. The information processing device 1 stores the privilege information derived based on each garbage information in the privilege information DB 113. The privilege information DB 113 stores privilege information in association with a garbage ID that identifies garbage information.

The benefit information may include, for example, a lottery date and a lottery result. In this embodiment, the award of benefits is performed based on a lottery process. The lottery date is the day on which the lottery was held. The lottery result is a lottery result such as winning or losing. The lottery result may include details of the winning product related to the winning. Note that FIGS. 3 and 4 are examples, and the storage contents of the discharge information DB 112 and the privilege information DB 113 are not limited.

FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a discharge information collection processing procedure executed by the information processing system 100. When execution of the terminal program 2P is selected on the user terminal device 2, the control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 and the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 execute the following process.

The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 acquires the user ID (step S11). The user ID is acquired, for example, by accepting the input of the login ID on the login screen displayed by the control unit 20 after accepting the selection of the terminal program 2P. Upon receiving the login, the control unit 20 outputs screen information prompting the user to read the identification code 5 to the display unit 13, and acquires the identification code 5 (step S12).

If the identification code 5 is a two-dimensional barcode, in step S12, the control unit 20 uses the reading unit 25, which is a camera, to acquire the identification code 5 included in the two-dimensional barcode. The identification code 5 includes a trash ID.

Next, the control unit 20 acquires the reading date and time and reading location of the identification code 5 (step S13). Specifically, the control unit 20 uses the communication unit 22 to acquire the reading date and time from the network N, and uses the position information acquisition unit 26 to acquire position information indicating the reading location. The control unit 20 may obtain the position information using the communication unit 22 using short-range wireless communication based on a communication standard such as Bluetooth (registered trademark) or Wi-Fi (registered trademark). Instead of acquiring the reading date and time, the control unit 20 may accept a user's input operation and, for example, acquire the scheduled discharge date and time when the user will discharge the garbage. Note that it is not essential to obtain the reading date and time and the reading location.

The control unit 20 transmits the acquired identification code 5 and discharge information including the user ID, reading date and time, reading location, etc. to the information processing device 1 (step S14).

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 receives the acquired identification code 5 and discharge information (step S15). The control unit 10 extracts the garbage ID from the identification code 5. The control unit 10 stores discharge information such as the user ID, reading date and time, and reading location in association with the garbage ID in the discharge information DB 112 (step S16), and ends the series of processing.

Based on the plurality of identification codes 5 acquired as described above, the information processing device 1 grants benefits to the user. The benefit is given based on the winning result of the lottery process, for example. FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for awarding benefits that is executed by the information processing system 100. The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 starts the following process at a predetermined timing, for example once a month.

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 refers to the garbage information DB 111 and extracts a garbage ID to be selected for lottery (step S21). The control unit 10 extracts the garbage ID corresponding to the reading date and time within a predetermined lottery period, based on the reading date and time stored in the garbage information DB 111, for example. The control unit 10 performs a lottery process on the garbage IDs to be randomly selected (step S22), and determines the winning garbage ID and the winning product.

The user corresponding to the winning garbage ID is given products such as food, garbage bags, daily necessities, etc., for example. The product may be points, virtual passes, etc. In this case, points or virtual passes may be issued using blockchain technology. The privilege may be granted by reduction or exemption of taxes paid to the local government.

The control unit 10 acquires the lottery results of the garbage IDs associated with each user ID, and generates lottery result screen information including the acquired lottery results. The control unit 10 transmits lottery result screen information including the generated lottery results to the user terminal device 2 (step S23).

The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 receives lottery result screen information including the lottery result (step S24). The control unit 20 displays a lottery result screen on the display unit 23 based on the received lottery result screen information (step S25), and ends the series of processing.

FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of the lottery result screen 231. The lottery result screen 231 displays the reading date and time corresponding to the garbage ID of the lottery target period and the lottery result extracted for each user ID. For example, the information processing device 1 receives the reading period of the display target selected by the user, refers to the discharge information DB 112, and extracts the garbage ID including the accepted reading period and user ID. The control unit 10 refers to the privilege information DB 113, obtains the lottery result corresponding to the extracted garbage ID, and transmits the obtained information to the user terminal device 2. The user terminal device 2 displays the history of the received lottery results in a list on the display unit 23 in order of reading date and time. The user can accurately recognize the lottery results using the user terminal device 2.

In step S22 described above, the control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 may change the granting rate of benefits for each garbage ID, that is, the winning rate of the lottery. For example, when the discharged garbage is recyclable garbage such as recyclable garbage or large garbage, the information processing device 1 draws a lottery so that the winning rate of the garbage ID included in the identification code 5 attached to the garbage is high. It is a good idea to set conditions. Note that it is preferable that the information processing device 1 obtains the information as to whether the waste is recyclable or not, in association with the identification code 5, for example.

In the above, an example has been described in which the granting of benefits is executed according to the winning result of the lottery process, but the method of granting benefits is not limited to this. For example, some kind of benefit (for example, points, virtual passage, etc.) may be given to all the acquired identification codes 5. Furthermore, the granting of benefits is not limited to being performed at predetermined intervals, and may be performed each time the identification code 5 is acquired.

According to the present embodiment, by giving benefits to garbage information using the identification code 5, it is possible to improve the user's motivation for using the garbage information.

(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, collection information regarding garbage collection is acquired using a vendor terminal device. FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of the information processing system 200 in the second embodiment. In the following, differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be explained. Since the other configurations except for those described later are the same as those in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals are given to the common configurations and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted. The information processing system 200 includes a plurality of vendor terminal devices 3 in addition to an information processing device 1 and a plurality of user terminal devices 2 . Each of the plurality of vendor terminal devices 3 can communicate with the information processing device 1 via a network N such as the Internet, and can transmit and receive information.

The trader terminal devices 3 are each managed by, for example, a garbage collection trader or a waste disposal trader. The merchant terminal device 3 is a general-purpose information terminal device having a function of reading the identification code 5 added to the garbage bag 41 and a communication function, and is, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or the like. The collection company uses the company terminal device 3 to acquire the identification code 5 and collection information such as the collection date and time of the garbage, the collection location, and the correctness or failure of separating the collected garbage, and sends the acquired collection information to the information processing device 1. do.

FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing the internal configuration of each device making up the information processing system 200. The vendor terminal device 3 includes a control section 30, a storage section 31, a communication section 32, a display section 33, an operation section 34, a reading section 35, and a position information acquisition section 36. The storage unit 31 is a nonvolatile memory such as a flash memory, and stores programs and data referenced by the control unit 30. The reading unit 35 functions as a reading device that reads the identification code 5. The hardware configuration of the vendor terminal device 3 is the same as that of the user terminal device 2, so a detailed explanation will be omitted.

In the second embodiment, the garbage information DB 111 stored in the storage unit 11 of the information processing device 1 further includes a collection information DB 114 that stores collection information acquired from the vendor terminal device 3.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of the content of information stored in the collection information DB 114. The collection information DB 114 stores collection information in association with the identification code 5. Further, in the second embodiment, the identification code 5 printed on the garbage bag 41 or the print medium 42, etc., includes information on the sorting type and capacity of the garbage specified on the garbage bag 41 or the print medium 42, in addition to the garbage ID. Contains. The classification type is the type of garbage to be stored in the garbage bag 41 to which the identification code 5 has been added, and may include, for example, combustible garbage, non-burnable garbage, bottles/cans/PET, large-sized garbage, etc. The capacity may include, for example, the storage capacity of the garbage bag 41.

The collection information may include collection date and time, collection location, determination result, and the like. The collection date and time and collection location are the date and time and location where the identification code 5 was read by the vendor terminal device 3. The determination result is the result of determining whether the garbage contained in the garbage bag 41 has been sorted according to the sorting type of the identification code 5 attached to the garbage bag 41. For example, if the garbage bag 41 for combustible garbage contains only combustible garbage, OK is stored as the determination result. On the other hand, if the garbage bag 41 for combustible garbage contains garbage other than combustible garbage such as bottles, NG is stored as the determination result.

FIG. 11 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a recovery information collection processing procedure executed by the information processing system 200. For example, when execution of a program is selected on the vendor terminal device 3, each device of the information processing system 200 executes the following processing.

When collecting garbage, a collection company reads the identification code 5 attached to each garbage bag 41 to be collected. The control unit 30 of the vendor terminal device 3 acquires the identification code 5 using the reading unit 35 (step S31), and acquires the garbage ID, classification type, and capacity included in the identification code 5. Furthermore, the control unit 30 acquires the collection date and time and collection location of the identification code 5 using the communication unit 32, the position information acquisition unit 36, etc. (step S32).

The control unit 30 acquires the identification code 5, and displays input screen information on the display unit 33, including, for example, information for accepting input of the garbage ID and classification type of the identification code 5, and the classification determination result. The collection company determines whether the garbage stored in the garbage bag 41 that has read the identification code 5 has been separated according to the sorting type designated by the garbage bag 41, and inputs the determination result using the input screen. For example, if non-combustible garbage is accommodated in the garbage bag 41 for combustible garbage to which the identification code 5, which includes combustible garbage as the classification type, is attached, NG is input as the determination result. If the classification according to the classification type is performed correctly, OK is input as the determination result. The control unit 30 obtains the determination result using the operation unit 34 (step S33). The control unit 30 transmits the acquired identification code 5 and collection information including collection date and time, collection location, determination result, etc. to the information processing device 1 (step S34).

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 receives the identification code 5 and collection information (step S35). The control unit 10 stores the identification code 5 including the garbage ID, sorting type, and capacity in the collection information DB 114 in association with the collection information including the collection date and time, collection location, and determination result (step S36), and executes a series of processes. finish.

In step S31 described above, the acquisition of the identification code 5 is not limited to the acquisition by the reading section 35 of the vendor terminal device 3. For example, the identification code 5 may be acquired by a reader or the like that can communicate with the vendor terminal device 3 attached to the garbage truck, and may be transmitted to the vendor terminal device 3. The identification code 5 may be acquired by a reader or the like that can communicate with the vendor terminal device 3 provided at a garbage collection site or the like, and may be transmitted to the vendor terminal device 3 . In this case, the identification code 5 may be acquired by having a reader or the like read the identification code 5, for example, when the user discharges garbage. Further, the identification code 5 may be acquired by a reader or the like that can communicate with the information processing device 1 and may be directly transmitted to the information processing device 1 without going through the vendor terminal device 3 . Note that the acquisition of the identification code 5 is not limited to the time of garbage collection, and may be performed, for example, at the time of garbage disposal.

Based on the collection information collected as described above, the information processing device 1 provides benefits to the user. FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a procedure for awarding benefits executed by the information processing system 200. Processes that are common to those in FIG. 6 of the first embodiment are given the same step numbers, and detailed explanation thereof will be omitted.

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 refers to the garbage information DB 111 and extracts a garbage ID to be selected for lottery (step S21). The control unit 10 extracts a garbage ID including the reading date and time within a predetermined lottery period, based on the reading date and time of the garbage information stored in the discharge information DB 112, for example.

The control unit 10 determines whether the garbage ID included in the identification code 5 acquired by the user terminal device 2 and the garbage ID included in the identification code 5 acquired by the trader terminal device 3 match (step S41). Specifically, the control unit 10 refers to the garbage information DB 111 and determines whether each garbage ID to be drawn by lottery extracted from the discharge information DB 112 matches the garbage ID recorded in the collection information DB 114. If the garbage ID to be selected as a lottery target is not recorded in the collection information DB 114 and it is not determined that the garbage IDs match (step S41: NO), the control unit 10 excludes the garbage ID from the lottery target (step S44).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the garbage ID to be selected by lottery is recorded in the collection information DB 114 and the garbage IDs match (step S41: YES), the control unit 10 determines whether the collection information corresponding to the garbage ID has been acquired or not. (Step S42). If it is not determined that the collection information has been acquired because the collection information (for example, collection date and time or collection location, etc.) corresponding to the garbage ID in the collection information DB 114 that matches the garbage ID that is the lottery target has not been recorded (step S42 :NO), the control unit 10 excludes the garbage ID from the lottery target (step S44).

On the other hand, if it is determined that the collection information has been acquired because the collection information corresponding to the garbage ID to be selected for lottery has already been recorded (step S42: YES), then the control unit 10 separates and discharges the garbage. It is determined whether or not it has been performed correctly (step S43).

If it is not determined that the sorted discharge was performed correctly because information indicating that the garbage was not separated and discharged correctly (for example, NG) is recorded in the determination result corresponding to the garbage ID to be determined (step S43: NO) , the control unit 10 excludes the garbage ID from the lottery target (step S44). On the other hand, if it is determined that the sorted discharge was performed correctly because information indicating that the garbage was separated and discharged correctly (for example, YES) is recorded in the determination result corresponding to the garbage ID to be determined (step S43: (YES), the control unit 10 advances the process to step S22. Note that the processes in step S42 and step S43 are not essential.

The control unit 10 executes a lottery process on the garbage IDs to be drawn, excluding the garbage IDs determined to be ineligible for the lottery (step S22), and determines the winning garbage ID and the winning product. The control unit 10 then executes the processes from step S23 to step S25, and ends the series of processes.

Note that the method for excluding the granting of benefits to the identification code 5 determined to be ineligible for the lottery is not limited. For example, the control unit 10 may perform a lottery process on all identification codes 5 that are eligible for a lottery, and determine whether or not they are eligible for a benefit after the winning is determined. The control unit 10 determines that the winning identification code 5 is ineligible for receiving benefits because collection information has not been acquired or information indicating that garbage was not properly separated and discharged has been acquired. In this case, processing for canceling the granting of the privilege to the identification code 5 is executed. According to the above, since the award of benefits is executed according to the collection information and the determination result, it is possible to provide the benefits in accordance with the actual state of garbage collection.

Furthermore, in the information processing system 200, various types of information based on the garbage information stored in the collection information DB 114 are provided to the user. FIG. 13 is a flowchart illustrating an example of a processing procedure executed by the information processing system 200.

The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 transmits a request for screen information regarding garbage discharge information to the information processing device 1, for example, through an application screen displayed on the display unit 23 by the terminal program 2P (step S51).

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 receives the request for screen information (step S52). The control unit 10 refers to the collection information stored in the collection information DB 114 and generates screen information including information regarding garbage discharge information (step S53). The screen information includes, for example, the user's garbage discharge history, collection history, advice according to the collection history, and the like. The control unit 10 transmits the generated screen information to the user terminal device 2 (step S54).

The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 receives the screen information (step S55). The control unit 20 displays a screen on the display unit 23 based on the received screen information (step S56), and ends the series of processing.

FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a screen displayed on the display unit 23 of the user terminal device 2. As shown in FIG. FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of a collection history screen 232 based on collection information. The collection history screen 232 displays history information of garbage collected during the target display period, that is, information related to garbage IDs whose collection dates and times include the target display period. The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 receives a display period selection operation through the operation unit 24 and transmits the received display period to the information processing device 1 . The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 extracts a garbage ID that includes the selected display period at the collection date and time associated with the garbage ID. The control unit 10 generates screen information for displaying collection history information including garbage information of the extracted garbage ID, and transmits the generated screen information to the user terminal device 2. The collection history information is shown, for example, in a table that displays a list of reading date and time, collection date and time, sorting type, determination result, lottery result, etc. recorded in association with each garbage ID. Further, the history information may be extracted by classifying the garbage IDs acquired during the display period by classification type and displayed using a graph or the like, for example. In the example of FIG. 14, the collection history screen 232 shows the total amount of garbage discharged during the display period in a graph for each classification type.

Furthermore, the collection history screen 232 may display advice according to the history contents. The control unit 10 refers to a table (not shown) storing advice in accordance with changes in the collection history, and outputs advice corresponding to the extracted collection history information via the display unit 23 of the user terminal device 2. . The advice may be displayed using illustrations, audio, or the like. For example, if the total amount of garbage discharged has decreased from the previous period, advice to evaluate the amount of garbage is displayed to the user. If a large number of NGs are recorded in the garbage sorting information, advice will be displayed urging you to confirm the sorting method.

In this manner, the user can accurately recognize his or her own garbage history using the collection history screen 232. In addition, the collection information has a function as information for ensuring traceability of garbage.

The following process is started, for example, when the information processing device 1 receives from the user terminal device 2 the identification code 5 having the sorting type to be displayed as a disposal method.

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 acquires a disposal method according to the separation method included in the acquired identification code 5 (step S61). The control unit 10 stores a table (not shown) in which a plurality of candidate disposal methods are recorded in association with the sorting type. The disposal method is the disposal method specified for the discharged waste. For example, if the type of garbage is recyclable garbage, the disposal method may include recycling, complete destruction, donation, etc. The control unit 10 generates disposal method reception screen information including the acquired disposal method, and transmits the generated disposal method reception screen information to the user terminal device 2 (step S62).

The control unit 20 of the user terminal device 2 receives the disposal method reception screen information (step S63), and displays the disposal method reception screen on the display unit 23 (step S64). FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of the reception screen 233. The reception screen 233 includes text data 235 indicating a plurality of disposal method candidates according to the classification type of the acquired identification code 5, and a plurality of check boxes 234 that accept selection inputs associated with each disposal method. , a registration button 236 for the selected disposal method is further included. In the example of FIG. 16, "recycle," "complete destruction," and "donation" are displayed as disposal method candidates. When receiving a selection input for the check box 234 associated with "donation", the control unit 20 further displays donation destination candidates and accepts the selection input of a donation destination. The user selects the desired disposal method, disposal details, etc., and presses the registration button 236.

When the registration button 236 on the reception screen 233 is selected, the control unit 20 accepts the selection of the disposal method (step S65), and transmits the accepted disposal method to the information processing device 1 in association with the identification code 5 (step S66). ).

The control unit 10 of the information processing device 1 receives the disposal method (step S67). The control unit 10 outputs the acquired disposal method to an external server or the like managed by the disposal company (step S68), and ends the series of processing. The disposal company disposes of the waste to which identification code 5 is attached according to the acquired disposal method. Note that the above-mentioned disposal method reception process may be performed, for example, when the user acquires the identification code 5 when discharging garbage. Further, in step S61, the information processing device 1 may acquire selectable disposal method candidates according to the condition of the garbage from the collection company that collected the garbage to which the identification code 5 has been added.

According to the present embodiment, the user can specify the garbage disposal method in a simple manner using the identification code 5, thereby increasing the utilization of garbage information and motivating the user to use the garbage information. can be improved.

In this embodiment, when the information processing system 100 is used in a medical institution or the like, the classification types of garbage may include, for example, general waste, industrial waste, and the like. Industrial waste may be further classified into multiple levels depending on the risk of infectious diseases. The information processing device 1 gives points based on the acquired identification code 5. Points may be used, for example, as one of the indicators for determining the cleanliness level of a medical institution or the like that discharged garbage. In this case, the group ID may be used in addition to the user ID to obtain garbage information for the entire medical institution, etc. For example, the information processing device 1 stores a user ID assigned to an individual medical professional and a group ID assigned to a medical institution to which the medical professional belongs in association with each other. When discharging garbage at a medical institution, the information processing device 1 acquires a user ID and a group ID in association with the identification code 5.
