FIG. 1 is a block diagram for explaining a paint effective utilization method according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a modified example of the paint efficient utilization method shown in FIG. 1 . 1 is a block diagram for explaining a paint efficient utilization system according to the present invention. 1 is a block diagram for explaining a paint efficient utilization system according to the present invention.

Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. First, a method for effectively utilizing paint according to the present invention will be described. This method for effectively utilizing paint is a method for effectively utilizing paint formed between a paint product sales business that sells paint products in which paint is stored in sealed containers and multiple businesses that use paint products, and preferably, a method for effectively utilizing paint formed between a paint product sales business that sells paint products in which paint is stored in sealed containers and multiple businesses that purchase and use paint products from this paint product sales business. Here, businesses that use paint products are not particularly limited, but examples include construction contractors and product manufacturers.

As shown in the block diagram of Figure 1, the paint utilization method according to the present invention includes an excess inventory collection process S1, a paint quality confirmation process S2, a sealing process S3, a quality confirmation labeling process S4, and a delivery process S5.

The surplus inventory collection process S1 is a process in which a paint product sales company collects surplus inventory from a plurality of businesses that store paint products in sealed containers as unused surplus inventory, more preferably, from a paint product sales company that purchases paint products in sealed containers and stores the paint products as unused surplus inventory. When collecting surplus inventory, the paint product sales company may collect the surplus inventory directly from the person in charge of the business that stores the surplus inventory, or may collect it by mail. The form of the paint product is not particularly limited, but it is common for the paint product to have an opening at the top of the container and a lid member that fits into the opening, or a discharge port at the top of the container and a lid member that screws into the opening of the discharge port.

The paint quality confirmation step S2 is a step of opening the surplus stock items that have been collected and checking the quality of the paint, and is preferably performed by a color matcher. In this paint quality confirmation step S2, for example, the presence or absence of significant dents or rust in the container that contains the paint, whether the paint product is unopened, whether the color of the paint has deteriorated, whether the volume of the paint contained in the container has not changed, whether some of the components of the paint contained in the container have precipitated, the date of manufacture of the paint, etc. are confirmed. In the paint quality confirmation step S2, the surplus stock items that are judged to be usable as paint without any problems are subjected to the following sealing step S3. In addition, in the paint quality confirmation step S2, the paint items that are judged to be unusable are processed according to a predetermined disposal method. In addition, the paint quality confirmation step S2 may be performed at the place where the surplus stock items are collected, that is, at the business establishment (for example, a warehouse or a factory) of the business operator that manages the surplus stock items, or at the business establishment of the paint product sales business operator.

The sealing step S3 is a step in which the opened excess inventory is resealed. This sealing step S3 is preferably performed while injecting nitrogen gas in order to prevent deterioration of the paint inside.

The quality confirmation labeling process S4 is a process of attaching a label indicating that the quality has been confirmed to the surplus stock that was determined to be usable as paint without any problems in the paint quality confirmation process S2. For example, a sticker printed with the words "Quality OK" or "Quality confirmed" is affixed to the surface of the container.

The delivery process S5 is a process of delivering surplus stock marked as quality confirmed to a business operator among multiple businesses that wishes to purchase the surplus stock. The business operator that wishes to purchase selects the desired quality confirmed surplus stock based on a list of quality confirmed surplus stock held by the paint product sales business operator and communicates it to the paint product sales business operator, and the paint product sales business operator delivers the corresponding surplus stock to the business operator that wishes to purchase the surplus stock.

The paint product sales business collects the price of the surplus inventory delivered to the business that wishes to purchase the product from the business, and pays all or part of that amount to the business that initially stored the surplus inventory and delivered it to the paint product sales business. The price of the surplus inventory is set lower than the price of new paint products. The paint product sales business may also donate part of the price collected to welfare organizations, etc.

As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 2, the system may be configured to further include a stirring step S6 for stirring the paint in the opened surplus stock after the above-mentioned paint quality confirmation step S2. By including such a stirring step S6, it is possible to prevent some of the paint components (pigments) from settling, and to achieve even more uniform quality. In addition, a business operator who purchases surplus stock whose quality has been confirmed can immediately carry out work such as painting.

According to this method for effective use of paint, it is possible to redistribute unused paint products (surplus stock) stored by construction contractors and other businesses as surplus stock and that may be discarded in the future, back into the market, thereby enabling effective use of surplus stock. In addition, since the number of unused paint products to be discarded can be reduced, the cost required for disposal can be reduced, and the amount of carbon dioxide generated by incineration can also be reduced, thereby reducing the burden on the environment. Furthermore, in order to achieve the above effects (reduced costs required for disposal, reduced environmental burden), it is expected that construction contractors and other businesses will actively use the mechanism of the method for effective use of paint according to the present invention, which will result in a significant reduction in illegal dumping of paint products.

Next, a first embodiment of the paint efficient utilization system according to the present invention will be described. As shown in the block diagram of FIG. 3, the paint efficient utilization system 1 according to the first embodiment includes a server terminal device 2, a plurality of business terminal devices 3, and a network 4 such as the Internet to which the server terminal device 2 and each business terminal device 3 are connected. The network 4 is preferably a broadband network using optical fiber or the like. Furthermore, the network 4 may be either a public line or a dedicated line, and may further be a wired line, a wireless line, or a line that combines these.

The server terminal device 2 is a device managed by a paint product sales business that sells paint products in which paint is stored in sealed containers, and includes a surplus inventory information storage unit 21, a quality-confirmed product information storage unit 22, a quality-confirmed product information transmission unit 23, and a delivery command information generation unit 24.

The business operator terminal device 3 is a device managed by a plurality of businesses that store paint products, in which paint is contained in sealed containers, as unused surplus inventory, or more preferably, by a plurality of businesses that purchase paint products from a paint product sales business and store the paint products as unused surplus inventory, and is equipped with a surplus inventory information input/transmission unit 31 and a purchase request transmission unit 32. Examples of the business operator terminal device 3 include a portable terminal such as a smartphone, or a fixed terminal such as a desktop or notebook personal computer.

The surplus inventory information input transmission unit 31 provided in each business terminal device 3 is a means for inputting information about paint products stored by each business as unused surplus inventory and transmitting it to the server terminal device 2, and is configured to display a specified input form on the business terminal device 3. Each business that stores surplus inventory inputs various information related to the surplus inventory that they wish to register in the server terminal device 2 in the surplus inventory information input transmission unit 31, and transmits it to the server terminal device 2 by tapping or clicking a separately provided "send" button. Examples of the information input in the surplus inventory information input transmission unit 31 include the product name, use, color, presence or absence of gloss, capacity, quantity, date of manufacture, and manufacturer name of the surplus inventory (paint product). The above-mentioned uses refer to, for example, uses such as base material, sealer/primer, rust prevention, main material, for exterior walls, for interior decoration, for ceilings, for iron parts, for roofs, for floors/waterproofing materials, for wood, and for tiles/concrete. Furthermore, the specific method for inputting information on surplus inventory items in the surplus inventory information input/transmission unit 31 is not particularly limited, and may be a character input method, or a method of selecting and inputting a specific item from a selection box displayed on the business operator terminal device 3. Also, if there is an error in the input content, such as a specific item not being input correctly, the system may be configured to display this to the operator.

The information on surplus inventory sent from the business operator terminal device 3 is received by the server terminal device 2 managed by the paint product sales business operator and stored in the surplus inventory information storage unit 21. At this time, the information on surplus inventory is stored in the surplus inventory information storage unit 21 in association with identification information that identifies the business operator terminal device 3 (business operator) that sent the information on surplus inventory. In addition, when the information on surplus inventory sent from the business operator terminal device 3 is stored in the surplus inventory information storage unit 21, a notification such as an e-mail may be sent to the business operator terminal device 3 operated by the business operator that sent the information on surplus inventory to inform the business operator that the information was registered without any problems.

Based on the information on the surplus stock stored in the surplus stock information storage unit 21 and the identification information identifying the business terminal device 3 that transmitted the information on the surplus stock, the paint product sales business visits the business's office or warehouse, picks up each of the stored surplus stock items, and performs paint quality confirmation of the surplus stock items in the above-mentioned paint quality confirmation process S2. For surplus stock items that are determined to be usable as paint without any problems, information related to the surplus stock items is stored in the quality confirmed product information storage unit 22. The quality confirmed product information storage unit 22 stores information on surplus stock items associated with the identification information identifying the business terminal device 3. The surplus stock items stored in the quality confirmed product information storage unit 22 may include surplus stock items that have undergone the above-mentioned sealing process S3, the stirring process S6 if necessary, and the quality confirmation label attachment process S4, as well as paint products stored by the paint product sales business itself as surplus stock items. In addition, paint products related to surplus stock that is stored by the paint product sales business itself due to incorrect ordering, etc., have already been quality checked, so the above-mentioned paint quality checking process S2, etc. can be omitted.

The quality-confirmed product information transmission unit 23 provided in the server terminal device 2 is a means having a function of transmitting information about surplus stock items whose quality has been confirmed and stored in the quality-confirmed product information storage unit 22 to each business terminal device 3. Information about each surplus stock item transmitted to the business terminal device 3 by this quality-confirmed product information transmission unit 23 can include, for example, the product name, use, color, whether or not it has a glossy finish, capacity, number in stock, date of manufacture, manufacturer name, and a photo of the product's appearance.

The information on each surplus stock item transmitted from the quality-confirmed product information transmission unit 23 in the server terminal device 2 is received by each business operator terminal device 3, and the purchase request transmission unit 32 equipped in each business operator terminal device 3 displays, for example, a list of product names. The operator who operates the business operator terminal device 3 selects the surplus stock item (paint product) that he/she wishes to purchase from the displayed list of product names (surplus stock items), and sends it to the server terminal device 2 by tapping or clicking a separately provided "Send" button. The purchase request transmission unit 32 may be added with a function that allows the operator who operates the business operator terminal device 3 to search for the desired surplus stock item (paint product) using the product name, purpose, color, etc. as a search keyword. In addition, it is preferable to configure the purchase request transmission unit 32 so that when the operator who operates the business operator terminal device 3 selects the surplus stock item (paint product) that he/she wishes to purchase, information on the selected surplus stock item (for example, purpose, color, presence or absence of gloss, capacity, number in stock, manufacturing date, manufacturer name, and product appearance photo) is displayed to the operator.

The delivery command information generating unit 24 provided in the server terminal device 2 is a means having a function of issuing command information to deliver the corresponding quality-confirmed surplus stock item to the business that sent the purchase request based on the purchase request sent from the purchase request sending unit 32 provided in the business terminal device 3. Based on this command information, the paint product sales business proceeds with the procedure to deliver the corresponding quality-confirmed surplus stock item to the business that sent the purchase request.

When command information is issued to deliver to the business that sent the purchase request, the information about the surplus inventory corresponding to the purchase request stored in the quality confirmed product information storage unit 22 is configured to be modified. For example, the inventory quantity of the surplus inventory corresponding to the purchase request is modified to a number obtained by subtracting the number of surplus inventory items actually requested for purchase, and this modified information about the surplus inventory is stored in the quality confirmed product information storage unit 22, and the modified information is sent to the business terminal device 3 via the quality confirmed product information transmission unit 23 in the server terminal device 2, and is displayed on each business terminal device 3.

In addition, when command information is issued to deliver to the business that sent the purchase request, a notification such as an e-mail informing the business that sent the purchase request of the delivery time and price may be sent to the business terminal device 3 operated by the business that sent the purchase request.

In addition, when the delivery command information generating unit 24 issues command information to deliver to the business that sent the purchase request, it may be configured to send a notification such as an e-mail to the business terminal device 3 operated by the business that registered the surplus stock item, to inform the business that registered the paint product related to the surplus stock item requested to be purchased in the server terminal device 2 that another business has purchased the paint product.

The paint product sales business collects the cost of the surplus stock delivered to the business that sent the purchase request from that business, and pays all or part of that amount to the business that registered the paint product related to the surplus stock requested for purchase in the server terminal device 2. The cost (price) of the surplus stock is set lower than the price of a new paint product.

Here, in the paint effective utilization system 1 according to the present invention, each business operator terminal device 3 may be configured to have a transmission history display unit 33 that stores and displays history information related to surplus inventory items transmitted to the server terminal device 2. By providing such a transmission history display unit 33, the person (business operator) operating the business operator terminal device 3 can easily manage the surplus inventory items registered in the server terminal device 2. The transmission history display unit 33 may also be configured to add a function that allows the registration of surplus inventory items to be canceled. Furthermore, when another business operator purchases a paint product related to the surplus inventory items, the information related to the surplus inventory items stored in the transmission history display unit 33 may be deleted based on a command from the server terminal device 2.

The above-mentioned paint efficient utilization system 1 makes it possible to efficiently redistribute unused paint products (surplus stock) stored as surplus stock by construction contractors and other businesses and likely to be discarded in the future back into the market, thereby reducing the number of unused paint products that are discarded, cutting the costs of disposal, and reducing the amount of carbon dioxide generated by incineration and the number of paint products that are illegally dumped.

In addition, for businesses that store surplus inventory, they can sell surplus inventory that may be discarded in the future, which not only reduces the cost of disposal but also allows them to receive the sale proceeds. For businesses that purchase surplus inventory, they can purchase paint products at a lower price than buying new paint products. Because of these effects, it is expected that the number of businesses that wish to use this system will increase, which will result in a significant reduction in the amount of carbon dioxide generated by incineration, the number of paint products that are landfilled, and the number of paint products that are illegally dumped, making it possible to effectively suppress the burden on the environment caused by surplus paint inventory (environmental pollution such as increased carbon dioxide and groundwater contamination).

Next, a second embodiment of the paint efficient utilization system according to the present invention will be described. As in the first embodiment, the paint efficient utilization system 1 according to the second embodiment includes a server terminal device 2, a plurality of business operator terminal devices 3, and a network 4 such as the Internet to which the server terminal device 2 and each of the business operator terminal devices 3 are connected, as shown in the block diagram of FIG. 4.
