Description

  The present invention relates to a purchaser's product or harvest (hereinafter referred to as “producer etc.”) between a purchaser such as a consumer, a production contractor, or a harvest contractor, and a producer or harvester (hereinafter referred to as “producer etc.”). The present invention relates to an information processing apparatus that mediates a transaction of a product or the like while considering a purchase desired condition for a product or the like ”and a production situation of a producer or the like.

In recent years, as consumers' interest in the safety and quality of products and the like has increased, the conditions of purchase desires for products and the like of purchasers have been diversified. For example, in the case of agricultural products such as vegetables and fruits, the quality differs greatly depending on the use of agricultural chemicals, as well as the production area and producer, etc. Producers that do not use pesticides or organically grown products that do not use pesticides, such as producers and producers desired by the purchaser, or products that are harvested at the time the buyer desires There is a tendency to require directly connected products. Therefore, it is important for a purchaser to be able to purchase a safe product with high quality easily and safely, and it is necessary to know all traceability related to production and processing from the producer to the consumer.
However, the purchaser cannot easily know in detail where, by whom, and how the product was produced, and confirms the production status and processing process of the product etc. that he / she purchases. If you want to do so, you have to go to the place where you want to produce it at an appropriate time and check it.

  In addition, as a producer, etc., it can be differentiated from other producers' products by assuring the safety and quality that the buyer can feel secure. It is possible that the production conditions such as shortage of the product or the shipping time will be significantly changed are likely to occur, and the purchase may be canceled for this reason.

Therefore, an identification code that uniquely identifies the produced product is attached to the product, the identification code attached to the product is read at each stage of distribution, and the information registered in the VAN (value-added communication network) A system has been proposed in which it is confirmed that the product is a genuine product by confirming that the product is a genuine product, and a counterfeit product is detected at an early stage of product distribution (see Patent Document 1).
In addition, if the safety standard data of the crop in each stage from the selection of the cultivation area to the consumer is prescribed in advance, and the measurement for safety is performed for each lot, and the result does not conform to the safety standard data There has also been proposed a system that does not proceed to the next stage of distribution (see Patent Document 2).
A system has also been proposed in which production information relating to agriculture is stored in a database so that the state of crops can be grasped in real time (see Patent Document 3).
In addition, there is a system in which GPS function is installed in the code issuance request device installed in the production area, and location information and issuance time are included in the production area guarantee code issued by this device to prevent production area disguise. It has been proposed (see Patent Document 4).

However, in any system, information for identifying safety is disclosed, but it is difficult to say that a product desired by the purchaser can be obtained only by disclosing information.
In some cases, a production contract is presented before production, and a sales contract is concluded. However, after the contract, shipment may not be performed according to the contract conditions due to weather or poor breeding. Changes in the shipping status of products, etc. due to various reasons can naturally occur, and changes in the shipping information based on the above circumstances after the contract has been concluded cannot be changed if it is a minor change. However, if there is a significant change, it may lead to a serious loss of the credibility of the transaction, so it is necessary to check the status of the change, but so far no measures have been proposed. Not.

In addition, regarding the safety of products, etc., it is indicated on the packaging of the product that the product conforms to the standards and quality labeling standards established by national, local governments, industry groups, and other public organizations, and the product is given to the purchaser. Appealing the safety of things. The purchaser determines the quality of the product based on the presence or absence of the display, and uses it for purchase determination. However, there are a wide variety of inspection items used for conformity inspections of the standards and standards used for the above indications, and the safety of the indicated products is judged after the details of these inspection items are fully understood and understood. There are few buyers who can do it. Furthermore, even if it can be determined that the safety within a certain standard is ensured by the above display, it is difficult to determine whether or not it is optimal for the purchaser's own preference.

(Third embodiment)
Further, following the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the server 1 registers the production progress information and the transaction ID received from the producer terminal 3 in the production progress information storage unit DB6, and stores the production progress information database. Create (see (20)). An example of the production progress information database can be shown in FIG. In FIG. 7, the production progress information database 160 is configured by, for example, production progress information such as a transaction ID, a product name, a production place, and an agrochemical. The produced production progress information database 160 is stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6.

  When the server 1 receives the production progress information, the server 1 continuously determines the quality level with reference to the determination criterion information storage unit DB7 (see (21)). In the determination criterion information storage unit DB7, for example, a combination determination for preliminarily storing determination criterion information for determining a quality level based on a combination of items that are observed and items that are not observed in the production schedule information A compliance information criteria database that stores in advance a criteria information database or criteria information that determines the quality level based on the compliance rate weighted for each item indicated in the production schedule information and the total compliance rate is stored. Has been. Therefore, the quality level may be derived using any one of the determination criterion information databases, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the quality level may be derived using another determination criterion information database.

  An example of the combination criterion information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 8, the combination determination criterion information database 170 is configured by information indicating the compliance status of production condition items such as production areas and agricultural chemicals and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the compliance status includes “◯” indicating compliance, “×” indicating non-compliance, and “−” indicating whether compliance is unknown. In addition, the information indicating the quality level is composed of five stages, with the highest “5” being all compliant and the lowest “1” being non-compliant. The created combination criterion information database 170 is stored in the criterion information storage unit DB7.

  Therefore, when the quality level is determined using the combination determination reference information database 170, first, the transaction based on the production progress information and the transaction ID stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 together with the production progress information. The production schedule information extracted from the information storage unit DB5 is compared, and the compliance status is determined as “◯” when the information is consistent (observed), and as “×” otherwise. At this time, if “Compliance” or “Not comply” is selected from the pull-down menu as the production progress information, “Compliance” is required without actually comparing with the production schedule information. Alternatively, a comparison can be made from the information “not compliant”, and the quality level can be easily determined. Next, the determination result is temporarily stored, and after the compliance status determination is completed for all items, the combination determination criterion information database 170 is referred to. For example, all the items are “◯”. In this case, the quality level is derived such that the quality level is “5”, the agrochemical item is “x”, and the other items are “o”, and the quality level is “3”.

  On the other hand, an example of the compliance rate determination criterion information database can be shown in FIG. In FIG. 9, the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180A is configured by information indicating weighting of production condition items such as production areas and agricultural chemicals, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180B indicates, for example, the compliance rate of the production condition items. It consists of information and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the weighting indicates how much importance is given to each production condition item as a percentage, and is configured, for example, as 50% for the production area, 30% for the agricultural chemical, and the like. Further, the information indicating the compliance rate is a value obtained by summing the weighting ratios with reference to the information indicating the weighting as to how much the production condition item is observed, “80-99%”,...・ "29-0%" is divided into five, and the information indicating the quality level is "100" for the highest "5" and "29-0%" for the lowest "1" It consists of five stages. The created combination compliance rate determination criterion information databases 180A and 180B are stored in the determination criterion information storage unit DB7.

  Therefore, when determining the quality level using the compliance rate determination reference information databases 180A and 180B, first, based on the production progress information and the transaction ID stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 together with the production progress information. The production schedule information extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB5 is compared, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180A is referred to. Add weight values together. At this time, if “Compliance” or “Not comply” is selected from the pull-down menu as the production progress information, it is not necessary to actually compare with the production schedule information, and “Compliance” "Or" Not complying "information can be compared, and the quality level can be easily determined. Next, the total of the weight values is temporarily stored, and the compliance rate determination criterion information database 180B is referred to. For example, when the information of all items matches and the weight value is “100%” Is the quality level “5”, the information on the item of pesticide does not match, the information on the other items match and the weight value is “70%”, the quality level “3”, etc. To derive.

  Then, after the quality level is determined, the server 1 registers the production progress information including the determined quality level information in the product information storage unit DB 9 as product information, and creates a product information database (see (22)). . An example of the product information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 11, the product information database 200 includes, for example, a purchaser ID, a producer ID, a product name, a production location, and a pesticide extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB 5 based on a product information ID and a transaction ID received together with production progress information. It consists of product information and quality level. The created product information database 200 is stored in the product information storage unit DB9. The product information ID may be newly issued as the product information is stored in the product information storage unit DB9, or the transaction ID may be used as it is. In the product information database 200 shown in FIG. 11, a product information ID of N101 is newly assigned instead of the transaction ID of T010 so far. In the product information database 200 shown in FIG. This will be described later.

Moreover, this server 1 will extract the said merchandise information ID, if merchandise information is newly registered into the said merchandise information storage part DB9 (refer (23)).
Next, the server 1 sends the quality level information together with the extracted product information ID to the producer terminal 3 specified by the producer ID extracted from the product information storage unit DB9 (or the transaction information storage unit DB5). Transmit (see (24)).

Next, the producer terminal 3 receives the product information ID and quality level information sent from the server 1 (see (25)).
Upon receiving the product information ID and the quality level information, the producer or the like selects a product information label mount based on the quality level information (see (26)). For the selection of the mount, for example, for each rank indicated in the quality level information, the shape of the mount may be changed to a star shape (star shape), a circle shape (round shape), a square shape (square shape), Alternatively, the entire mount or a part of the color is changed to gold, silver, brown, or the like.
Next, the producer or the like prints predetermined label product information including quality level information and product information ID received by the producer terminal 3 on the selected product information label mount ((27)). reference).
Then, the producer or the like affixes the product information label on which the predetermined label product information is printed on the outer surface of the product or a product container that accommodates the product, and sells the product to the purchaser. (See (28)). An example of the product information label is shown in FIG. In FIG. 22 (a), the product information label L10 is a circled product information label mount "4" indicating the quality level, "XX plantation" indicating the producer, etc., comments from the producer, etc. , Label product information such as “N010” indicating the product information ID and “xxx association” indicating the guarantee source are printed. An example of the product with the product information label attached thereto is shown in FIG. 22B, for example. In FIG. 22B, the product information label L10 is affixed to the outer surface of a product container G10 that houses the product.

The purchaser inputs the merchandise information ID displayed on the merchandise information label L10 attached to the purchased merchandise from the purchaser terminal 2 and transmits it to the server 1 (see (29)).
The product information ID can be input in a form as shown in FIG. 23, for example. FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a product information ID input screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The product information ID input screen P100 has a product information ID input field. Therefore, the purchaser inputs the product information ID affixed to the product he / she purchased into the product information ID input field, and transmits to the server 1 by selecting the transmission button B100 by clicking with the mouse or the like. .

Next, the server 1 receives the product information ID sent from the purchaser terminal 2 (see (30)).
The server 1 continues to search the product information DB 9 based on the product information ID and extracts the corresponding product information (see (31)).
Then, the server 1 returns the extracted product information to the purchaser terminal 2 (see (32)).
The purchaser confirms the transmitted product information on the purchaser terminal 2. The confirmation of the merchandise information can be expressed in a form as shown in FIG. 24, for example. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing an example of a product information browsing screen according to the embodiment of the present invention. The product information browsing screen P110 displays the product information ID and the product name, as well as the production location, agricultural chemicals used, and comments from producers as production progress information. Therefore, the purchaser confirms the displayed product information contents and notifies the server 1 of the end of confirmation by selecting the confirmation button B110 by clicking with the mouse or the like.

  As described above, following the first embodiment and the second embodiment, after the production progress status is reported, the quality level is determined and the product information ID is transmitted. After the product information ID is transmitted, the product information ID is input. Accordingly, the third embodiment for disclosing product information is completed. As a result, it is possible to easily confirm and determine whether or not the product is of a quality level that satisfies the conditions desired by the purchaser.

(Fourth embodiment)
In addition, after the determination of the quality level, the server 1 may refer to the quality level action information storage unit DB8 and perform a predetermined action corresponding to the determined corresponding quality level (see (41)). ). In the quality level action information storage unit DB8, for example, a quality level action information database that uniquely associates a quality level and a predetermined action, a quality level action information database that sets a quality level and a predetermined action for each purchaser, or A quality level action information database in which a quality level and a predetermined action are set for each product (product) is stored. Therefore, it is only necessary to derive and implement a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level using any quality level action information database, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other quality level action information databases are used. It may be used to derive a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level.

An example of the quality level action information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 10A, the quality level action information database 190a includes information indicating the type of quality level action and information indicating the quality level. The information indicating the type of the quality level action is “production process notification” for informing production progress information or “transaction” for inquiring whether or not to continue the transaction when the quality level is changed. Continuation inquiry "and" transaction cancellation (order cancellation) "for notifying that the transaction will be canceled when the quality level is changed. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”.
Therefore, when deriving a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level performed using the quality level action information database 190a, if the determined quality level is “4”, the production progress information is notified, If the quality level is “3”, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to continue the transaction. If the quality level is “2” or “1”, a notification that the transaction is to be canceled is sent. To implement.

In FIG. 10B, the quality level action information database 190b shows information specifying the purchaser, information indicating the type of quality level action, and the quality level corresponding to the quality level action for each purchaser. Consists of information. The information for specifying the purchaser is a purchaser ID that is unique identification information assigned to identify the purchaser. The information indicating the type of the quality level action is “production process notification” for informing production progress information, or inquiring whether to continue the transaction when the quality level is changed. Inquiry "and" Transaction Cancellation (Order Cancellation) "for notifying that the transaction is canceled due to a change in the quality level. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”.
Therefore, when a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level to be implemented is derived using the quality level action information database 190b, the determined quality level is “4” and the purchaser has the purchaser ID A001. If there is a purchaser, the production progress information is notified, and if the purchaser has the same quality level “3” and the purchaser ID is A001, the customer is inquired whether to continue the transaction, If the purchaser has the same quality level “2” or “1” and the purchaser ID is A001, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to continue the transaction, and the same quality level is “2” or “1”. If it is “1”, it is notified that the transaction will be canceled.

Further, in FIG. 10C, the quality level action information database 190c shows information for specifying the product, information indicating the type of the quality level action, and the quality level corresponding to the quality level action for each product. Consists of information. The information specifying the product is the product name. The information indicating the type of the quality level action is “production process notification” for informing production progress information, or inquiring whether to continue the transaction when the quality level is changed. Inquiry "and" Transaction Cancellation (Order Cancellation) "for notifying that the transaction is canceled due to a change in the quality level. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”.
Therefore, when a predetermined action corresponding to the quality level to be implemented is derived using the quality level action information database 190c, if the determined quality level is “4” and the product name is melon, the production progress If the quality level is “3” and the product name is melon, an inquiry is made as to whether or not to continue the transaction, and the quality level is “2” or “1”. If the product name is melon, a notification is made that the transaction will be cancelled.

  As described above, after the determination of the quality level of the third embodiment, the fourth embodiment for performing a predetermined action based on the quality level is completed. As a result, when the quality level determination results in a difference between the quality level desired by the purchaser and the reported quality level, an appropriate action set in advance corresponding to the difference is efficiently derived. It becomes possible to carry out.

(Fifth embodiment)
Further, following the fourth embodiment, the server 1 registers the action information derived based on the quality level in the product information storage unit DB9 together with the quality level information (see (42)). An example of the product information database can be shown in FIG. 11 as described above.
As a result of the determination of the quality level, the server 1 continuously searches for an alternative producer or an alternative purchaser with reference to the product information storage unit DB9 when the order cancellation information indicating transaction cancellation is registered as the implementation action information. (Refer to (43)). More specifically, for example, if the transaction ID is used as it is as the product information ID, the search for the alternative producer is performed by searching the product information storage unit DB9 to find the transaction ID of the transaction in which the order cancellation information is stored. Based on the transaction ID of the transaction in which the production progress information stored in the production progress information storage unit DB6 based on the extracted transaction ID and the order cancellation information indicating the cancellation of the transaction are registered is extracted. Compared with the transaction information extracted by the part DB5, the quality level is determined, and further, the quality level action information storage part DB8 is referred to and the setting of the predetermined action according to the quality level does not indicate that the transaction is stopped. The right partner is chosen as an alternative producer. On the other hand, the alternative purchaser is also selected in the same manner.

Then, when an alternative purchaser is selected, the server 1 produces the production progress of a producer or the like whose purchaser who is a trading partner disappears due to the cancellation of the transaction together with alternative transaction inquiry information for inquiring whether or not an alternative transaction is possible Information is transmitted to the purchaser of the alternative purchaser (see (44A)). On the other hand, when an alternative producer is selected, the transaction information of the purchaser who has lost the other producer due to the cancellation of the transaction is displayed together with the alternative transaction inquiry information for inquiring whether or not the alternative transaction is possible. (See (44B)).
As a result, even if there are no producers or buyers who are counterparties due to the cancellation of transactions, this is an alternative that can be adapted from producers or purchasers whose counterparties are lost due to cancellation of other transactions. Find a trader and generate a new deal without giving up.

(Sixth embodiment)
In addition, after the quality level is determined, the server 1 may refer to the discount rate information storage unit DB10 and calculate a discount rate corresponding to the determined corresponding quality level (see (51)). In the discount rate information storage unit DB10, for example, a discount rate information database in which a quality level and a discount rate are uniquely linked is stored.
An example of the discount rate information database is shown in FIG. In FIG. 12, the discount rate information database 210 includes information indicating the quality level and information indicating the discount rate. The information indicating the quality level is composed of five levels determined by the server 1, for example, the highest “5” and the lowest “1”. The information indicating the discount rate is composed of numerical values such as 0%, 10%, and 30%.
Therefore, when the discount rate corresponding to the quality level is derived using the discount rate information database 210, if the determined quality level is “4”, the discount rate is 0% and is stored in the production schedule information. If the transaction is executed without discounting the transaction price (desired sales price) and the quality level is “3”, the discount rate is 10%, so the transaction price stored in the production schedule information is discounted by 10%. If the quality level is “2”, the discount rate is 30%, so the discount price is 30% discounted from the transaction price stored in the production schedule information. Conduct a transaction. The discount rate may be arbitrarily set by the producer or the purchaser for each transaction.

Then, when the discount rate is calculated, the server 1 sends the calculated discount rate information to the purchaser terminal 3 specified by the purchaser ID extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB5 based on the transaction ID. Transmit (see (52)).
Thereby, the transaction price of the product can be corrected to an appropriate one according to the quality level determined based on the production progress status, and the continuation of the transaction can be promoted without the transaction being canceled.

Next, an example of a basic operation of the server 1 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIGS. FIGS. 25 to 27 are flowcharts showing the flow in the server 1 that implements the first to third embodiments.
As shown in FIG. 25, first, it is determined whether the producer information receiving unit 11 has received the product information sent from the terminal 3 such as the producer (S10). The product information includes at least product name information that can be produced by a producer or the like.
As a result, when the producer etc. information accepting unit 11 accepts the product information (Y), it is judged whether or not a producer ID specifying the producer etc. is accepted along with the product information (S11). The producer ID is issued and assigned by registering producer attribute information such as the name (name), address, and contact address of the producer. Therefore, when the producer attribute information has been registered in advance, the producer ID is already provided.

On the other hand, when the producer information receiving unit 11 has not received the product information (N), it is determined whether or not the purchase request information receiving unit 12 has received the purchase request information sent from the purchaser terminal 2. (S20). The purchase request information includes at least product name information and production condition information.
In addition, when the producer information receiving unit 11 receives the producer ID together with the product information as a result of determining whether or not the producer information receiving unit 11 receives the producer ID (Y), the received producer The ID is associated with the product information and the producer attribute information and stored in the producer information storage unit DB1 (S14).
On the other hand, when the producer information reception part 11 has not received producer ID (N), it asks for registration of a producer attribute and receives producer attribute information from the producer terminal 3 (S12).
And if producer attribute information is received, the producer information reception part 11 will issue producer ID (S13).
When the producer information receiving unit 11 issues the producer ID, the producer ID, the product information, and the producer attribute information are associated with each other and stored in the producer information storage unit DB1 (S14).

In addition, when the purchase request information receiving unit 12 receives the purchase request information as a result of determining whether or not the purchase request information receiving unit 12 receives the purchase request information (Y), the purchaser ID together with the purchase request information is displayed. (S21). The purchaser ID is issued and given by registering purchaser attribute information such as the purchaser's name (name), address, and contact information. Therefore, when the purchaser attribute information has been registered in advance, or a purchaser who has experienced transaction in the past in the server 1 already has a purchaser ID.
On the other hand, if the purchase request information receiving unit 12 has not received the purchase request information (N), the production request inquiry unit 14 continues to receive the production schedule information, the producer ID, and the request ID sent from the producer terminal 3. It is determined whether or not (S30). The production schedule information may include production condition change information.
In addition, when the purchase request information receiving unit 12 receives the purchaser ID as a result of determining whether or not the purchase request information receiving unit 12 has received the purchaser ID together with the purchase request information, the received purchaser is received (Y). A request ID is issued for the ID and purchase request information (S25).
On the other hand, if the purchase request information receiving unit 12 does not receive the purchaser ID (N), the purchaser attribute is requested and the purchaser attribute is received from the purchaser terminal 2 (S22).
And if purchaser attribute information is received, purchase wish information reception part 12 will issue purchaser ID (S23).
When the purchase request information receiving unit 12 issues a purchaser ID, the purchaser ID and purchaser attribute information are associated with each other and stored in the purchaser information storage unit DB2 (S24).
When the purchaser ID is issued, the purchase request information receiving unit 12 issues a request ID for the issued purchaser ID and the received purchase request information (S25).

Next, when the purchase request information receiving unit 12 issues a request ID, the purchase request information receiving unit 12 stores the received purchase request information and the purchaser ID in association with the request ID in the purchase request information storage unit DB3. (S26).
Further, when the request ID is issued, the production availability inquiry unit 13 refers to the producer information storage unit DB1, and the corresponding production is performed by the search process for the producer information database 110 based on the product name information included in the purchase request information. A person or the like is selected (S27). In addition, the number of producers etc. selected is not necessarily one.
When a corresponding producer or the like is selected, the production availability inquiry unit 13 transmits the purchase request information to each producer terminal 3 such as the producer and inquires about the availability of production (S28).

Next, the production request inquiry unit 14 determines whether production schedule information, a producer ID, and a request ID have been received from the producer terminal 3 in response to the transmission of the purchase request information (S30), and as a result, the production request inquiry When the unit 14 accepts production schedule information and the like (Y), the purchase request information based on the request ID received together with the production schedule information by the production request inquiry unit 14 referring to the purchase request information storage unit DB3. The corresponding purchaser is identified by the search process for the database 130, the production schedule information and the producer ID are transmitted to the purchaser terminal 2, and an inquiry is made as to whether or not production is requested under the conditions based on the production schedule information. Perform (S31).
On the other hand, if the production request inquiry unit 14 has not received production schedule information or the like (N), it is determined whether or not the production request unit 15 has received the order information sent from the purchaser terminal 2 (S40). At this time, together with the order information, a producer ID for specifying a producer or the like from which the purchaser requests production of the product is also accepted.
Then, when the production request inquiry unit 14 receives the production schedule information and the transmission of the production schedule information and the producer ID to the specified purchaser terminal 2 is completed, the producer ID and the production schedule information are sent to the request. The production schedule information storage unit DB4 stores the ID and the purchaser ID in association with each other (S32).

Next, as a result of determining whether or not the production request unit 15 has received the order information, if the production request unit 15 has received the order information (Y), the production request unit 15 specifies a transaction ID for identifying the transaction. At the same time, the transaction establishment information including the transaction ID and the production schedule information is transmitted to the producer terminal 3 to request production of the product (S41).
On the other hand, when the production request unit 15 has not received the order information (N), it is determined whether the production progress information reception unit 16 has continuously received the production progress information and the transaction ID sent from the producer terminal 3. (S50). The production progress information may include production schedule change information.
Then, when the production request unit 15 issues a transaction ID, the production schedule information and purchaser ID extracted from the production schedule information storage unit DB4 based on the producer ID received together with the order information are associated with the transaction ID. It memorize | stores in transaction information storage part DB5 (S42).

Next, when the production progress information receiving unit 16 receives the production progress information and the transaction ID as a result of determining whether or not the production progress information receiving unit 16 receives the production progress information and the transaction ID (Y), The progress report unit 17 refers to the transaction information storage unit DB5, specifies a purchaser corresponding to the transaction information database 150 based on the received transaction ID, and determines the production progress information and the transaction ID. The progress of the product is reported by transmitting to the purchaser terminal 2 (S51).
On the other hand, when the production progress information receiving unit 16 has not received the production progress information and the transaction ID (N), the product information reporting unit 20 continues to use the product information ID sent from the purchaser terminal 2 or the producer terminal 3. It is determined whether it has been accepted (S80).
And if production progress information and transaction ID are transmitted to the applicable buyer terminal 2, transaction ID and production progress information will be linked | related and memorize | stored in production progress information storage part DB6 (S52).

  Here, the production progress information is received by the production progress information receiving unit 16 after the transaction establishment information is sent, the production progress status inquiry unit 18 refers to the transaction information storage unit DB5, and based on the transaction ID. It is also possible to send production progress status inquiry information for inquiring of the producer terminal 3 about the production progress status at a predetermined time by a search process for the transaction information database 150, and accept it accordingly (S43).

Further, when the production progress information receiving unit 16 receives the production progress information, the quality level determination unit 19 refers to the production progress information storage unit DB6, and the production progress information database based on the transaction ID received together with the production progress information. The corresponding production schedule information is extracted by the search process for 160. Next, the extracted production schedule information is compared with the production progress information, and the quality information is stored with reference to the determination standard information storage unit DB7 that stores in advance the determination standard information for determining the compliance status for each item indicated in the production schedule information. The level is determined (S53).
When the quality level determination unit 19 determines the quality level, the production progress information including the determined quality level information is stored in the product information storage unit DB 9 as product information (S54). At this time, the merchandise information is stored in association with a merchandise information ID that uses the merchandise information ID that is newly issued as the merchandise information is stored in the merchandise information storage unit DB9 or the transaction ID as it is.
Further, when product information is newly registered in the product information storage unit DB9, the product information report unit 20 extracts the product information ID (S55).
And the merchandise information report part 20 specifies the producer etc. which correspond by the search process with respect to the transaction information database 150 based on transaction ID received with the said production progress information, and quality with the said merchandise information ID to the said producer terminal 3 Level information is transmitted (S56).

  On the producer side, the product information ID and quality level information sent from the server 1 are received by the producer terminal 3, and a product information label mount is selected based on the received quality level information. In addition, predetermined label product information including quality level information and product information ID received by the producer terminal 3 is printed. Next, the producer or the like affixes the product information label on which the predetermined label product information is printed on the outer surface of the product or a product container that accommodates the product, and sells the product to the purchaser. .

Then, as a result of determining whether or not the product information reporting unit 20 has received the product information ID sent from the purchaser terminal 2 of the purchaser who has purchased the product, the product information reporting unit 20 has received the product information ID. If the product information is present (Y), the product information reporting unit 20 refers to the product information DB 9 and extracts the corresponding product information through a search process for the product information database 200 based on the received product information ID (S82).
On the other hand, when the product information reporting unit 20 has not received the product information ID (N), the determination is repeated again whether or not the producer information receiving unit 11 has received the product information sent from the producer terminal 3. (S10).
And if the merchandise information report part 20 extracts merchandise information, the said merchandise information will be transmitted to the said buyer terminal 2 or the producer terminal 3, and merchandise information will be disclosed on the buyer terminal 2 (S83). As a result, a basic series of operations in the server 1 is completed (ended).

In addition, after determining the quality level, the server 1 performs a predetermined action based on the quality level, or after the transaction is stopped due to the execution of the predetermined action and there is no trading partner, the alternative trader is searched for and replaced. You can also make inquiries about transactions. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a flow in the server 1 that implements the fourth embodiment and the fifth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 28, after the quality level is determined (S53), the quality level action execution unit 22 refers to the quality level action information storage unit DB8 and corresponds to the quality level based on the determined quality level information. The predetermined action information set for is derived, and this is executed (S61). The predetermined action information may be received in advance by the quality level action setting information receiving unit 21 for setting predetermined action information to be performed for each quality level.
Next, when the quality level action executing unit 22 derives a predetermined action, the action information is associated with the transaction ID and stored in the product information storage unit DB9 (S62).

Further, as a result of the quality level action execution unit 22 deriving predetermined action information, when the order cancellation information indicating transaction stoppage is stored in the product information storage unit DB9, the substitute selection unit 23 stores the product information storage. The corresponding product information is extracted by searching the product information database 200 based on the order cancellation information with reference to the part DB 9. Next, the substitute selection unit 23 extracts corresponding product information by a search process for the product information database 200 based on the product name information included in the product information in which the order cancellation information is stored. Furthermore, if the transaction ID is used as it is as the product information ID included in the extracted product information, the substitute selection unit 23 searches the transaction information storage unit DB5 based on the transaction ID to produce Based on the schedule information and the transaction ID, the transaction information storage unit DB5 is searched to extract the production schedule information, and the production producer or the like who can trade by comparing the production schedule information and the production progress information A person is selected (S63). At this time, the selection of the tradeable surrogate producer or the surrogate purchaser is not performed by the simple comparison in the substitute selection unit 23, but the quality level information derived by the quality level determination unit 19 or the implementation of the quality level action is performed. You may perform using the quality level action information derived | led-out by the part 22. FIG.
When an alternative purchaser is selected, the substituter selecting unit 23 transmits production progress information to the purchaser terminal 2 of the alternative purchaser. When an alternative producer is selected, the substituter selecting unit 23 23 sends the transaction information to the producer terminal 3 of the alternative producer, thereby inquiring transaction execution (S64).

Further, the server 1 can also calculate a discount rate associated with the quality level after the quality level determination. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing the flow in the server 1 for implementing the sixth embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 29, after the quality level determination (S53), the discount rate calculation unit 24 discounts the quality level information and the desired sales price according to the quality level information determined by the quality level determination unit 19. A discount rate corresponding to the quality level information is calculated with reference to the discount rate information storage unit DB10 that stores the rate information in association (S71).
Next, when the discount rate calculation unit 24 calculates the discount rate, the discount rate information report unit 25 uses the purchaser ID extracted from the transaction information storage unit DB 5 based on the transaction ID received by the production progress information reception unit 16. The discount rate information is transmitted to the identified purchaser terminal 2 (S72).

As described above, according to the present invention, the purchaser presents the transaction conditions first, and the producer who can produce the product corresponding to this will bid. Those who want to purchase products, those who want to purchase products with a focus on production methods (for example, organic farming or indifferent agricultural chemicals for crops), and products with an emphasis on taste. It is possible to trade products that meet the needs of various purchasers such as those who wish.
In addition, since the items and criteria to be emphasized are different, when the purchaser is a retail store such as a department store or a supermarket, for example, the quality of the gold product at the store A and the silver product at the store B is the same, The 1,000 yen gold product is higher in quality than the C store's 1,500 yen gold product, the store A places importance on safety, the store B places importance on taste, and the store C places importance on the appearance. The features of each store appear, and you can purchase the products you like according to the attention of consumers.
In addition, the items that place importance on the criteria differ depending on the difference in their commitments. From the perspective of the A person, even if the transaction is canceled because one item has fallen below the reference value, the B person From the point of view, it is possible to establish a new transaction by searching for an alternative trading partner by sufficiently satisfying the standard. Moreover, by reporting the situation during production, even if the transaction is canceled during production, it becomes possible to search for a wide range of alternative trading partners, and the product is a product that emphasizes freshness. It becomes a very effective transaction means.
