Therefore, the embodiments described in the specification and the drawings shown in the drawings are only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and do not represent all of the technical idea of the present invention, various modifications that can be replaced at the time of the present application It should be understood that there may be equivalents and variations.

1 is a diagram illustrating a network configuration for implementing a product history management service method using an identification tag according to the present invention. Referring to the drawings, the product history management service method using the identification tag of the present invention, the product history management service system using the identification tag (hereinafter, the product history management service system 100) is a product history information input / output unit through an information communication network ( 200 and the consumer terminal 300, the product history information input and output unit 200 is recorded in the identification tag (10.N) by contacting a plurality of identification tags (10.N) or contactlessly through radio waves. The identification code is read, and the consumer directly inputs the identification code of the identification tag into the consumer terminal.

The information communication network refers to a data communication network in a comprehensive sense, which is connected to each other by various networks including a LAN, a WAN, an intranet, and similar internal networks, and provides access to the Internet. It is to be understood to include a broadband network (BcN) as well as a wired network including PSTN) and a mobile network such as a satellite communication network, and a wireless network such as IMT2000.

The product history management service system 100 matches the product history information inputted according to the product history information input / output request of the product history information input / output unit 200 with an identification code, and stores the product history information input / output unit 200 or a consumer. According to the request for inquiry of the product history information of the terminal 300, the product history information input / output device 200 or the consumer terminal 300 that requests the product history information corresponding to the identification code is provided through the information communication network. Detailed description of the components will be described later in conjunction with FIG.

Identification tag (10.N) is a marker that can be read or input directly or optically or electronically by the product history information input and output unit 200 or consumer terminal 300 is recorded with a unique identification code, one-dimensional barcode, two-dimensional barcode , IC chip, RFID tag, etc., but the present invention is not limited thereto. On the other hand, the identification tag (10.N) may be attached to a variety of products, including agricultural products, aquatic products, livestock products or processed products thereof.

The product history information input / output unit 200 reads the unique identification code recorded in the identification tag 10.N, and transmits the product history information together with the identification code to the product history management service system 100 to produce the product history information. Request input, and inquiries of the product history information of the product with the identification tag (10.N) attached to the product history management service system 100 using the read identification code in some cases, and accordingly the product history management service Product history information received from the system 100 may be displayed.

Figure 4 is a flow chart of the product history information input step of the product history management service method using the identification tag (10.N) according to the present invention. Referring to the drawings, the producer first selects the 'input of history information' from the menu provided from the product history management service system 100 using the product history information input / output device 200 (step S110). Then, the producer reads the identification code recorded in the identification tag 10.N using the product history information input / output unit 200 (step S120). Then, the producer shoots a still image or video of the current state of the product using the product history information input and output unit 200 (step S130). When the identification tag (10.N) is attached or the product to be attached is a processed product of the original product and the original product exists (step S140), the identification code of the original product is generated using the product history information input / output unit 200. Read (step S150). The product history information input / output unit 200 transmits the product history information including the still image or the video through an information communication network (step S160), and the product history management service system 100 receives an input request together with the product history information. Received (step S170) and stores it in the history information database 170 (step S180). When the identification code of the original product is read, the identification code of the original product is also included in the product history information and received.

5 is a flowchart of a product history information inquiry step of the product history management service method using the identification tag (10.N) according to the present invention. Referring to the drawing, a consumer accesses the product history management service system 100 using a consumer terminal (step S210). Then, select 'inquiry of history information' from the menu provided from the product history management service system 100 (step S220). The consumer inputs an identification code and requests an inquiry of the product history information stored and matched with the identification code to the product history management service system 100 (step S230). The product history management service system 100 having received the inquiry request reads the product history information matching the received identification code from the history information database (step S240). In the case of the processed products of the original product, since the identification code of the original product is also stored in the product history information, the product history management service system 100 determines whether the original product exists by whether the identification code of the original product is stored. It is determined whether or not (S250). If the product history management service system 100 does not have an identification code of the original product, only the product history information matching the identification code is transmitted to the consumer terminal through the information communication network (step S260). The product history information matched to and the original product history information matched with the identification code of the original product are transmitted together to the consumer terminal through the information communication network (S270). Receiving the product history information, the consumer terminal reproduces the product history information composed of text or video through the display unit, and the product history information composed of voice is reproduced through the audio output unit (step S280).
