JP-A-2004-78743

A restaurant typically places an order for fruits and vegetables with a wholesaler by describing the items and quantities of the fruits and vegetables on the purchase order. A wholesaler delivers specified items and specified quantities of fruits and vegetables together with a delivery note to the food service company. With this system, it is difficult for restaurants to acquire traceability information (that is, producer information and transaction history information) of fruits and vegetables, and therefore it is difficult to provide traceability information to customers. On the other hand, the needs of customers who want to know the traceability information of food ingredients (fruits and vegetables, etc.) provided by restaurants are increasing year by year.

In view of the circumstances described above, the purpose of the present invention is to enable restaurants, in particular, to acquire traceability information (that is, producer information and transaction history information) of fruits and vegetables.

A traceability management server according to one aspect of the present invention includes:
a producer information database that associates and stores producer information that is information on the side of producers that produce fruits and vegetables, standard product codes that identify the items of the fruits and vegetables, and brand codes that identify the producers;
When the brand code is input by the final purchaser who purchased the fruits and vegetables specified by the standard product code, the producer information stored in the producer information database is linked to the inputted brand code. , a traceability information supply unit for supplying to the final purchaser;
Equipped with

The final purchaser can know the producer information using the brand code. As a result, the final purchaser can provide the customer with producer information as traceability information. can meet the growing needs of

further comprising a transaction information database that associates and stores transaction history information, which is information when the fruits and vegetables have been traded one or more times, the standard product code, and the brand code,
The traceability information supply unit may supply the transaction history information for a specific period stored in the transaction information database in association with the input brand code to the final purchaser.

The final purchaser can know the transaction history information using the brand code.

The traceability management server
a partition information database that associates and stores partition information for selling and selling the fruits and vegetables, the standard product code, and the brand code;
The partition information stored in the partition information database is updated based on the number of sales transactions, and the partition information based on the number of sales transactions, the standard product code, and the brand code are used to mediate the sales transactions of the fruits and vegetables. a partition information supply unit that supplies one or more transaction servers that
may be further provided.

Since the partition information supply unit supplies the partition information to the transaction server, it is possible to conduct sales transactions of fruits and vegetables via the transaction server.

The partition information indicates the quantity of the fruits and vegetables, the unit price of the fruits and vegetables, and the scheduled delivery time of the fruits and vegetables,
The partition information supply unit may supply the partition information and the standard product code to a transaction server that mediates sales transactions of the fruits and vegetables to be delivered at the scheduled delivery time before the scheduled delivery time. good.

By supplying partition information to the transaction server prior to the scheduled delivery date, it may be possible to trade fruits and vegetables as futures before the fruits and vegetables physically arrive. This eliminates the time required for sales transactions after the fruits and vegetables physically arrive, so that the fruits and vegetables can be distributed in a fresher state.

The traceability management server
A request for the brand code linked to the standard product code identifying the fruits and vegetables to be purchased by the final purchaser is received from the final seller who sells the fruits and vegetables to the final purchaser via the transaction server. When,
The brand code linked to the transaction history information of the fruits and vegetables purchased by the final seller during a specific period is read out from the transaction information database and supplied to the final seller via the transaction server. further comprising a part,
The brand code provided to the ultimate seller may be included in invoice data generated by the ultimate seller and provided to the ultimate purchaser via the transaction server.

Unlike packaging, delivery note data is often stored without being discarded for a long period of time. When the final purchaser wants to know the producer information and the transaction history information after the fact, the brand code described in the statement of delivery data can be used to know the producer information and the transaction history information.

The transaction history information may indicate the time of the sales transaction of the fruits and vegetables, the quantity of the fruits and vegetables traded, and the seller and purchaser of the sales transaction.

As a result, for example, when food poisoning occurs, it is possible to narrow down the location of the accident and the parties to the accident based on the timing of the sales transaction, the seller and purchaser of the sales transaction, etc. included in the transaction history information.

The transaction history information may be input to the transaction information database by one or more transaction servers that mediate the fruit and vegetable sales transactions.

As a result, one or more independent transaction servers can be virtually linked via the traceability management server. The traceability management server can collectively manage data handled by one or more transaction servers.

An optically readable access code for accessing said producer information stored in said producer information database, said access code being printed on a print medium and containing and/or packaging said fruits and vegetables in containers and/or bags. an access code creating unit that creates an access code to be attached to the product and supplies the access code to the producer.

It is possible to optically read the access code affixed to the fruits and vegetables and access the producer information.

The optically readable access code may be a two-dimensional code or a one-dimensional code.

For example, a two-dimensional code is a QR code (registered trademark), and a one-dimensional code is a barcode. This allows a general purpose mobile device to be used to optically read the access code and access the producer information.

The producer information is entered into the producer information database by the producer,
The name of the producer, the name of the production area, the size of the field in the production area, the agricultural chemicals used, the fertilizer used, the time of seeding and/or the time of harvest may be indicated.

By entering producer information, producers can enter what they consider to be appealing points.

The partition information may be entered into the partition information database by a primary purchaser who has purchased the fruits and vegetables from the producer.

The primary purchaser, such as the local market, who purchased fruits and vegetables from the producers, enters partition information, so it is possible to enter appropriate partition information.

The final purchaser may be a restaurant operator.

A restaurant typically places an order for fruits and vegetables with a wholesaler by describing the items and quantities of the fruits and vegetables on the purchase order. A wholesaler delivers specified items and specified quantities of fruits and vegetables together with a delivery note to the food service company. With this system, it is difficult for restaurants to acquire traceability information (that is, producer information and transaction history information) of fruits and vegetables, and therefore it is difficult to provide traceability information to customers. On the other hand, the needs of customers who want to know the traceability information of food ingredients (fruits and vegetables, etc.) provided by restaurants are increasing year by year. According to this embodiment, the restaurant can know the producer information and the transaction history information using the brand code. As a result, the final purchaser can provide the customer with the producer information and transaction history information as traceability information.

1. Overview of the environment in which the traceability management system is used

FIG. 1 schematically shows an overview of the environment in which the traceability management system according to one embodiment of the present invention is used.

The environment in which the traceability management system 1 is used is from the producer, through the local market (primary purchaser), receiving market and wholesaler (final seller), to the restaurant (final purchaser), fruits and vegetables (vegetables and fruit (same hereafter)) distribution environment. A producer is a farmer or the like who produces fruits and vegetables, and transports the produced fruits and vegetables to the local market for sale. The local market is a distribution base for shipping fruits and vegetables delivered from producers to the receiving market, and purchases fruits and vegetables from the producers and resells them to the receiving market. The receiving market receives the fruits and vegetables shipped from the local market, purchases the fruits and vegetables from the local market, and resells them to wholesalers belonging to the receiving market. A wholesaler purchases fruits and vegetables from a receiving market to which the wholesaler belongs, subdivides the fruits and vegetables, and resells them to restaurants.

A producer has a producer terminal 20, a local market has a local market terminal 30, a receiving market has a receiving market terminal 40, a wholesaler has a wholesaler terminal 50, and a restaurant has a restaurant terminal 60. Each terminal 20 to 60 is an information processing device for end users such as a personal computer, a tablet computer, and a smart phone. A local market uses a local market terminal 30, a receiving market uses a receiving market terminal 40, a wholesaler uses a wholesaler terminal 50, and a restaurant uses a restaurant terminal 60 to carry out sales transactions of fruits and vegetables.

The traceability management system 1 has a traceability management server 10 , a first transaction server 70 , a second transaction server 80 and a third transaction server 90 . The traceability management server 10, the first transaction server 70, the second transaction server 80 and the third transaction server 90 are information processing devices such as personal computers.

The first transaction server 70, the second transaction server 80 and the third transaction server 90 are constructed using a common API (Application Programming Interface). Thereby, the independent and separate first transaction server 70 , second transaction server 80 and third transaction server 90 can be virtually connected via the traceability management server 10 . The traceability management server 10 can collectively manage data handled by the first transaction server 70 , the second transaction server 80 and the third transaction server 90 .

Traceability Management Server 10 , First Transaction Server 70 , Second Transaction Server 80 , Third Transaction Server 90 , Producer Terminal 20 , Local Market Terminal 30 , Consignment Market Terminal 40 , Wholesaler Terminal 50 and Restaurant Terminal 60 is connected to a network such as the Internet.

The producer uses the producer terminal 20 to input producer information and the like to the traceability management server 10 .

The staff of the local market uses the local market terminal 30 to input the sorting information (unit price of fruits and vegetables, etc.) etc. of fruits and vegetables purchased from producers into the traceability management server 10 .

The first transaction server 70 communicates with the local market terminal 30 and the receiving market terminal 40, and mediates fruit and vegetable sales transactions between the local market and the receiving market. The second transaction server 80 communicates with the receiving market terminal 40 and the wholesaler terminal 50, and mediates sales transactions of fruits and vegetables between the receiving market and wholesalers. The third transaction server 90 communicates with the wholesaler terminal 50 and the restaurant terminal 60 and mediates fruit and vegetable sales transactions between the wholesaler and the restaurant. The first transaction server 70 , the second transaction server 80 and the third transaction server 90 input transaction history information to the traceability management server 10 .

The traceability management server 10 receives information such as producer information input from the producer using the producer terminal 20, partition information input from the local market using the local market terminal 30, the first transaction server 70, the second It manages transaction history information input from the second transaction server 80 and the third transaction server 90 .

In addition, there may be multiple receiving markets between the local market and the wholesaler. In this case, there will be a plurality of consignment market terminals 40, and in some cases there may be four or more transaction servers. Processing executed by each consignment market terminal 40 and transaction server will be described below. This is the same as the process for In this embodiment, it is assumed that there is a single consignment market, a single consignment market terminal 40, and three

transaction servers

70, 80, and 90. FIG.

In addition, the traceability management system 1 is assumed to be a system that connects producers, local markets, and transaction servers in various parts of the country and collectively manages them. Therefore, in the environment where the traceability management system 1 is used, there are a plurality of producer terminals 20, local market terminals 30, receiving market terminals 40, wholesaler terminals 50, and restaurant terminals 60. FIG. However, in this embodiment, for the sake of brevity of explanation, it is assumed that there are one producer terminal 20, one local market terminal 30, one consignment market terminal 40, one wholesaler terminal 50, and one restaurant terminal 60. FIG.

2. Functional configuration of the traceability management server

Fig. 2 shows the functional configuration of the traceability management server.

In the computer 110 of the traceability management server 10, the CPU loads a traceability management program recorded in a ROM, which is one form of a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium, into a RAM and executes it to create an access code. It operates as a section 101 , a partition information supply section 102 , a brand code supply section 103 and a traceability information supply section 104 .

The traceability management server 10 has a producer information database 200, a partition information database 300, and a transaction information database 400. All or part of the producer information database 200, the partition information database 300, and the transaction information database 400 are provided in a large-capacity non-volatile recording medium 120 (HDD, SSD, etc.) built into the traceability management server 10. Alternatively, it may be provided in a recording medium connected to the traceability management server 10 via a network or directly connected via a USB terminal or the like.

3. An overview of how the traceability management system works

Figure 3 shows the operational flow of the traceability management system.

The producer uses the producer terminal 20 to input the standard product code 201, the brand code 202, and the producer information 203 of the fruits and vegetables produced by the producer into the producer information database 200 of the traceability management server 10. . The producer information database 200 of the traceability management server 10 associates and stores the standard product code 201, the brand code 202, and the producer information 203 input by the producer (step S101).

The standard product code 201 is a five-digit number that identifies the item of fruits and vegetables provided by the Council for Promoting Computerization of Fresh Food Transactions. For example, the standard product code for Japanese radish is defined as 30100. The brand code 202 is an identification code for uniquely identifying the producer. The producer information 203 is information on the side of producers who produce fruits and vegetables. For example, the producer information 203 indicates the name of the producer, the name of the place of production, the size of the field in the place of production, the pesticide used, the fertilizer used, the time of seeding and/or the time of harvest.

When the producer information 203 and the like are input and stored in the producer information database 200, the access code creation unit 101 of the traceability management server 10 creates an optically readable access code for accessing this producer information 203. and supply the access code to the producer via the producer terminal 20 (step S102). The optically readable access code is a two-dimensional code (QR code (registered trademark), etc.) or a one-dimensional code (bar code, etc.). If necessary, the producer uses the producer terminal 20 to print the access code on a print medium (printed paper in the form of a sticker label, etc.), and stores the fruits and vegetables in a container such as a cardboard box, a styrofoam box, or a container. It can be attached to a bag for subdividing and packaging fruits and vegetables. It should be noted that the physical attachment of the access code to the fruits and vegetables before shipment is for the purpose of providing a service to the purchaser, and is not essential for realizing the present embodiment.

Producers transport fruits and vegetables to the local market and sell them there. The local market purchases fruits and vegetables brought in by producers.

The staff of the local market (primary purchaser) use the local market terminal 30 to view the producer information database 200 of the traceability management server 10 as necessary, and obtain the standard product code 301 of the fruits and vegetables purchased from the producer, The brand code 302 and partition information 303 are entered into the partition information database 300 of the traceability management server 10 . The partition information database 300 associates and stores the standard product code 301, the brand code 302, and the partition information 303 (step S103). The standard product code 301 and brand code 302 are the same as the standard product code 201 and brand code 202 stored in the producer information database 200, respectively.

The partition information 303 indicates the quantity of fruits and vegetables, the unit price of fruits and vegetables, and the scheduled delivery time of fruits and vegetables. The quantity of fruits and vegetables is a combination of numerical values and sales units (pieces, books, packages, kilograms, etc.). The unit price is the sales price of fruits and vegetables per sales unit. The unit price of the partition information 303 input by the staff of the local market using the local market terminal 30 is the unit price of the sales transaction from the local market to the consignment market.

The partition information supply unit 102 of the traceability management server 10 uses the standard product code 301, the brand code 302, and the partition information 303 stored in the partition information database 300 to mediate sales transactions of fruits and vegetables between the local market and the receiving market. (Step S104). The partition information supply unit 102 supplies the standard product code 301, the brand code 302, and the partition information 303 prior to the scheduled delivery time included in the partition information 303, and performs sales transactions of fruits and vegetables to be delivered at the scheduled delivery time. It may be supplied to the intermediary first transaction server 70 . By supplying the partition information 303 and the like to the first transaction server 70 before the scheduled delivery time, the local market and the receiving market can exchange the fruits and vegetables as futures before the fruits and vegetables physically arrive at the receiving market from the local market. It may be possible to conduct purchase and sale transactions of This eliminates the time required for sales transactions after the fruits and vegetables physically arrive, so that the fruits and vegetables can be distributed in a fresher state.

Based on the standard product code 301 supplied from the traceability management server 10 and the partition information 303, the first transaction server 70 mediates fruit and vegetable sales transactions between the local market and the consignment market. Specifically, the first transaction server 70 communicates with the local market terminal 30 and the consignment market terminal 40, and designates fruits and vegetables specified by the standard product code 301 supplied from the traceability management server 10 as the partition information 303. It brokers a sales transaction for selling at a unit price (step S105).

The first transaction server 70 stores the standard product code 401, the brand code 402, and the transaction history information 403 in the transaction information database 400 of the traceability management server 10 when the sales transaction of fruits and vegetables between the local market and the receiving market is established. Enter The transaction information database 400 associates and stores the standard product code 401, the brand code 402, and the transaction history information 403 (step S106). The standard product code 401 and brand code 402 are the same as the standard product code 301 and brand code 302 stored in the partition information database 300 .

The transaction history information 403 is information when the fruits and vegetables were traded, and includes the timing of the fruits and vegetables trade, the quantity of the traded fruits and vegetables, the seller (the local market in this example) and the buyer of the trade. (in this example, the receiving market). The quantity of fruits and vegetables traded is the quantity actually traded between the local market and the consignment market, and is a value equal to or less than the quantity contained in the partition information 303 stored in the partition information database 300 . The timing of the sales transaction indicates the date and time or day when the sales transaction was concluded.

The partition information supply unit 102 of the traceability management server 10 updates the partition information 303 stored in the partition information database 300 based on the number of sales transactions (step S107). Specifically, the partition information supply unit 102 updates the quantity of fruits and vegetables included in the partition information 303 by subtracting the quantity of fruits and vegetables traded from the quantity of fruits and vegetables included in the partition information 303 . In addition, the partition information supply unit 102 updates the unit price of fruits and vegetables included in the partition information 303 by adding a margin based on the number of sales transactions. Also, the partition information supply unit 102 updates the scheduled delivery time included in the partition information 303 .

The partition information supply unit 102 of the traceability management server 10 transmits the standard product code 301, the brand code 302, and the updated partition information 303 based on the number of sales transactions stored in the partition information database 300 to the receiving market and wholesalers. to the second transaction server 80 that mediates the sales transaction of fruits and vegetables (step S108).

FIG. 8 shows the operation flow of the brand code supply unit of the traceability management server.

A method for describing the brand codes 717 and 718 in the statement of delivery data 700 in step S203 will be described.

The wholesaler's staff uses the wholesaler's terminal 50 to specify the standard product code that specifies the item name 711 of the fruits and vegetables (fruits and vegetables purchased by the restaurant) for which the brand code 717 is to be acquired, and the delivery date 701. A request for the brand code linked to the standard product code is input to the traceability management server 10 via communication between the wholesaler terminal 50 and the third transaction server 90 .

The brand code supply unit 103 of the traceability management server 10 receives a request for the brand code linked to the standard product code from the wholesaler via communication between the wholesaler terminal 50 and the third transaction server 90 (step S301). The brand code supply unit 103 reads, from the transaction information database 400, the brand code 402 linked to the transaction history information 403 of fruits and vegetables specified by the standard product code 401 included in the request purchased by the wholesaler during a specific period. (Step S302). The specified period is, for example, a period within the past three days including the delivery date 701 included in the request. The brand code supply unit 103 supplies the read brand code 402 to the wholesaler via communication between the wholesaler terminal 50 and the third transaction server 90 (step S303).

The brand code 402 supplied to the wholesaler is described in the statement of delivery data 700 through communication between the wholesaler terminal 50 and the third transaction server 90, and is used by the restaurant through the third transaction server 90. It is supplied to the restaurant terminal 60 (step S304).

6. Behavior to obtain traceability information from brand code

Fig. 9 shows the operational flow for acquiring traceability information from the brand code.

Next, the operation for the food service company to acquire traceability information from the brand code 717 described in the statement of delivery data 700 (step S304) will be described.

　Traceability information includes producer information and transaction history information. The producer information is producer information 203 stored in the producer information database 200 of the traceability management server 10 . The transaction history information is transaction history information 403 stored in the transaction information database 400 of the traceability management server 10 .

The restaurant staff uses the restaurant terminal 60 to specify the brand code 717 described in the statement of delivery data 700, and send a request for traceability information linked to the specified brand code 717 to the wholesaler terminal 50. Input to the traceability management server 10 via communication with the third transaction server 90 .

The traceability information supply unit 104 of the traceability management server 10 receives a request for traceability information linked to the brand code 717 from the food service company via communication between the food service company terminal 60 and the third transaction server 90 (step S401). The traceability information supply unit 104 reads the producer information 203 stored in the producer information database 200 in association with the input brand code 202 (step S402). The traceability information supply unit 104 reads the transaction history information 403 of the specific period stored in the transaction information database 400 in association with the brand code 402 that is the same as the input brand code 717 (step S403). The traceability information supply unit 104 supplies the read producer information 203 and the transaction history information 403 of the specific period to the restaurant via communication between the restaurant terminal 60 and the third transaction server 90 (step S404). .

In this example, the restaurant terminal 60 transmits the brand code to the traceability information supply unit 104 of the traceability management server 10 via communication with the third transaction server 90 to acquire traceability information. Alternatively, the restaurant terminal 60 may transmit the brand code to the traceability information supply unit 104 of the traceability management server 10 to obtain traceability information without going through the third transaction server 90 .

The invoice data 500 , purchase order data 600 and statement of delivery data 700 have been described as electronic data provided by communication between the wholesaler terminal 50 or restaurant terminal 60 and the third transaction server 90 . In addition to or in place of the invoice data 500, the purchase order data 600 and the invoice data 700, invoices, purchase orders and invoices printed on print media may be used. In this case, the restaurant acquires traceability information linked to the brand code from the traceability management server 10 by manually inputting the brand code included in the statement of delivery printed on the print medium into the restaurant terminal 60. be able to.

In this way, the food service company uses the brand code 717 described in the statement of delivery data 700 to obtain the producer information 203 (producer's name, name of production area, size of field in production area, pesticide used, use Fertilizer used, seeding time and/or harvest time, etc.) and transaction history information 403 (time of sales transaction, seller and purchaser of sales transaction, etc.) can be known. As a result, traceability information can be provided to customers who come to the store, so it is possible to meet the increasing needs of customers who want to know the traceability information of ingredients (fruits and vegetables, etc.) for dishes provided by restaurants.

By the way, there are cases where an optically readable access code (step S102) for accessing the producer information 203 is affixed to a bag for subdividing and packaging fruits and vegetables. In this case, the restaurant can use the restaurant terminal 60 or other mobile device to optically read the access code and access the producer information 203 .

On the other hand, the access code is not linked to the transaction history information 403 because the producer affixes the access code to the fruits and vegetables before shipping. Therefore, the transaction history information 403 cannot be accessed by optically reading the access code.

On the other hand, the restaurant can use the brand code 717 described in the statement of delivery data 700 to know the transaction history information 403 in addition to the producer information 203. As a result, for example, when food poisoning or the like occurs at a restaurant, the location of the accident and the parties to the accident can be narrowed down based on the timing of the sales transaction, the seller and purchaser of the sales transaction, etc. included in the transaction history information 403. can be done.

Also, unlike packaging, the statement of delivery data 700 is often stored without being discarded for a long period of time. When the food service company wants to know the traceability information (producer information 203 and transaction history information 403) after the fact, the brand code 717 described in the statement of delivery data 700 is used to obtain the producer information 203 and transaction history information 403. can know.

In this embodiment, we explained that the final purchaser is a restaurant. This is an existing system in which a restaurant places an order for fruits and vegetables to a wholesaler by describing the items and quantities of fruits and vegetables in an order form, and the wholesaler delivers the specified items and the specified quantity of fruits and vegetables along with the delivery slip to the restaurant. In this system, it is assumed that it is difficult for restaurants to obtain traceability information for fruits and vegetables. However, this embodiment can also be applied to general consumers, retail stores, etc. as final purchasers.

Although the embodiments and modifications of the present technology have been described above, the present technology is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present technology. Of course.
