Description

  The present invention relates to an article management system using a communication network, and in particular, accepts the existence and history of a person involved in the manufacture, distribution, and use of the article in a multifaceted and continuous manner. The credit quality information is used as management information for goods.

As complications, miniaturization, and division of labor progress, it is difficult to grasp the structure and identify the parties from production to disposal, which causes the following four main problems.
(1) Problems in the production stage For example, mistakes in the production process (mixing of materials, mixing of foreign substances, etc.), fraud in the production process (falsification of performance data, use of non-display materials, concealment of materials used), (2) Problems in the distribution stage For example, mistakes in the distribution process (misplacement of objects, mistakes in storage work, withdrawal during transportation, etc.), fraud in the distribution process (intention of goods) Replacement, disguise of distribution channels, etc.)
(3) Problems at the ownership stage For example, owner information problems (privacy protection, contact information management, true owner identification, display of shared information, etc.)
(4) Problems at the disposal stage For example, disposal problems (identification of illegal dumping agents, illegal cross-flow of discarded products, etc.)

Conventionally, in order to manage an article, a process for attaching the identification information to the article, such as stamping a production number or printing a barcode, has been performed.
Also, with the recent development of electronic technology, in recent years, article management such as adding identification information by storing electronic information in articles using electronic tags or RFID tags, or changing stored information required in the process of distribution Methods are also becoming mainstream. At this time, the stored electronic information includes traceability information relating to the production date and producer, supply chain information relating to distribution and retail conditions, ID information for individually identifying articles, etc., using a communication network. It has been said that centralized processing improves the credibility of product information and prevents counterfeiting of product information.

As one of the enhancements of the article management processing based on such electronic information, a traceability system using the electronic tag technology disclosed in Patent Document 1 has been proposed.
In this patent document 1, it is possible to provide a means for attaching identification information in each processing stage to a product, associating change information in each process based on product identification information, and specifying a distribution route of each individual product. It has become.

On the other hand, as one of the enhancements of personal authentication processing, system control using spatial information recognition as disclosed in Patent Document 2 has been proposed.
In this patent document 2, not only the collation of personal information but also the personal authentication process is performed taking into account the continuity of the time and space in which the personal information for collation is input and read. It is possible to provide high.
Patent No. 3946243

However, even in this traceability system that strengthens the aspect of article management information, the processing depends on the behavior of the information input side, so the aspects of falsification, concealment, and erroneous input of electronic information by related parties are completely eliminated. It was difficult to prevent.
In particular, when personal information is attached, it is easy for a third party to pass on to another person by bringing an electronic tag for entering or leaving the room, or by considering the person to be authenticated by matching the personal password input to the device. There was a chance to impersonate and there was a problem with the legitimacy of personal information.
On the other hand, system control related to personal authentication is mainly for human use, and there is a problem that the management of articles is not clearly defined.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and manufacture, transportation and management of articles when managing articles via a network using electronic information that can be easily tampered and concealed.・ Note that possession, use, consumption, etc. (hereinafter referred to as “utilization of goods”) are all part of human behavior related to the goods, and that humans involved in the utilization of managed goods By authenticating the existence of individuals within the network and attaching the authentication information to the goods, it is possible to control the execution of fraud, facilitate the identification of goods related to the fraudster, and improve the safety and reliability of the goods. An object of the present invention is to provide an article management system that realizes the above.

  In order to achieve this object, the present invention provides a server group including a database for managing article information, an information input device operated by a person related to the article, and a personal authentication server for authenticating the individual existence of the person. An article management system in which a group is connected via a communication network, and the personal authentication server group performs personal authentication based on information input by the person, and moves information created as an authentication result When the server receives the movement information from the personal authentication server group, the server group creates an article identification ID attached to the article based on the received movement information, and attaches the article identification ID to the article. It is characterized by doing.

  In addition, the movement information includes spatial information based on the installation position of the information input device that is the movement information transmission source, time information indicating when the information was input by the person, and a personal identification ID unique to the person. It is included.

  Further, according to the present invention, the article identification ID includes information representing an individual existence rate of the person.

  Further, according to the present invention, the item identification ID includes information representing the personal credit of the person.

  It should be noted that any combination of the above-described constituent elements, and the constituent elements and expressions of the present invention replaced with each other among methods, apparatuses, authentication systems, computer programs, recording media storing computer programs, and the like are also included in this book. This is effective as an aspect of the invention.

The system is to change the article management information in the article management system according to the physical presence of the parties concerned, to prevent falsification by third parties, and to suppress the information hiding and information tampering of the parties concerned It is possible to improve the reliability of the article management.

<Basic principle>
1 to 3 are diagrams showing the basic configuration principle of the article management system of the present invention, and the basic configuration principle and basic operation principle of the system will be described.

(Current article management system)
FIG. 1A is a basic configuration diagram showing the system of the present invention from a bird's eye view.
In the current article management system, since the main purpose is distribution and history management, it is a form in which a general article database capable of inputting or storing article information in a unified manner and related parties are connected via a network. On the other hand, in the personal authentication system used by the parties concerned, the selection of the system introduction is an independent judgment of the parties concerned. System technology, operation, accuracy, etc. are not complete.
For this reason, the system as a whole is operated in a state where the parties to the article cannot be clearly identified, and it is assumed that the parties (individuals) who register (input) the article information in the article general database act in good faith and without negligence. This is an operational system established in As a result, the registrant (input person) is actually a person related to the article, and the registrant has no problems related to credit, such as unauthorized input or concealment. Not in.
Therefore, there is no mechanism for consumers to verify the legitimacy and truthfulness of the information source economically and effectively, and the current human information exists in the employee authentication database within each relevant party. However, since it is not disclosed, the reality and legitimacy of human information cannot be judged, so there is a problem that the company (individuals) registered (entered) in the general article database has no choice but to look back on it. Yes.

(Article management system of the present invention)
The article management system of the present invention provides a personal authentication database that guarantees the existence of an individual related to the product, and verifies the physical existence of the parties based on personal information, time information, and spatial information. Precise personal identity verification is performed, and the result is utilized in the article management system.
That is, result information of personal authentication, or conversion result information obtained by converting the result information into an algorithm corresponding to the situation or modified result information attached to predetermined information is attached to the article. This process makes it possible to easily identify the authenticity of an article, the identification of a person involved in the production, the history status from the production process to the possession, the identification of the current owner and user, and the like.
In addition, by requiring personal identity verification for the use of the article management system (for example, entering the product number), the identification of the actor, the psychological prevention of unauthorized manipulation, and the exclusion of persons unrelated to the production / distribution of the article Or, it is possible to reveal hidden personal information while related.
Furthermore, by releasing the history information and reliability of the person as necessary, the consumer can easily acquire the reliability of the personal information of the article.

(Basic principle of personal real authentication system)
As shown in FIG. 1B, the basic configuration principle of the personal real authentication system used in the article management system of the present invention is configured by an authentication server 1, a management server 2, and a personal information input device 3.
The authentication server 1 is provided with a database for managing personal information of registrants to be authenticated. The authentication server 1 is connected to a plurality of management servers 2 via a communication line network. The personal information transmitted from the personal information input device 3 via the management server 2 and the personal information in the database. The identity of the registrant is verified by collating with the information.
The management server 2 is an information processing that collectively manages the personal information input device 3 for each predetermined building, organization, or area unit, such as a registrant's home, work place, Otemachi 1-chome, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. It is a device and is connected to a plurality of personal information input devices 3 grouped by unit via a communication network. The management server 2 is also provided with the above-described personal information database. The personal information received from the connected personal information input device 3 is compared with the personal information in the database. Authenticate the existence of the registrant.
The personal information input device 3 is a device installed in every place of a registrant's living space such as a door, road or station ticket gate, work office entrance, factory entrance, store entrance, etc., and registers biometric information etc. The personal information of the person is input (read), and the personal information is transmitted to the management server 2.
The personal information input device 3 may also be provided with the above-described personal information database. At this time, the personal information input device 3 includes the biometric information in the database and the input biometrics. You may make it collate with information etc. and perform personal authentication of a registrant himself.

The authentication system determines the existence of the registrant by performing temporal / spatial integrity authentication in addition to authentication of coincidence / non-coincidence of personal information such as biometric information.
For example, when information indicating that the biometric information is read at home at 17:00 is stored in the authentication server 1, the personal information input device 3 at a point 100 km away from the home at 17:05 on the same day. When the biometric information of the same registrant is read and transmitted to the authentication server 1, the authentication server 1 determines that the existence of the individual is not established. In addition, in order to prevent unauthorized use of the system, control information that restricts or rejects operations such as operation authentication of the article management system device based on the biometric information of the registrant is transmitted to the personal information input device 3. .

  In order to easily determine the temporal and spatial continuity described above, the authentication system uses information indicating that “authenticated” as a result of the actual authentication and time information indicating the time when the authentication was performed (individual Information including the time when the information is read / input), spatial information (terminal identification ID and identification number assigned to the terminal), and movement information that combines information of four items of the personal identification ID of the person to be authenticated Is transmitted and received between each terminal and server.

Here, as shown in FIG. 2, the personal existence authentication method will be described based on the flow of the personal existence authentication system from the time when the registrant leaves the home to the place of work.
When the registrant leaves home, personal information (for example, fingerprint information) is read by the personal information input device 1 installed at the entrance door of the home (step S1), and the reading time and reading location are the personal information input device. 1 is transmitted to the home management server (step S2).
The home management server compares and collates the received personal information, time information, space information, and registration information in its own database (step S3), and creates the movement information when the identity verification is completed (step S4). Then, information indicating the start of movement is added to the movement information (hereinafter referred to as movement start information) and transmitted to the personal existence authentication server (step S5).
The personal existence authentication server compares the movement information immediately before the registrant stored in its own apparatus with the movement information received in step S5 to determine the existence (step S6), and the registrant enters the personal information input device 1 Recognizing that it has moved from the space and that it does not actually exist (step S7).
Subsequently, when the registrant arrives at the nearest station and gets on the train, personal information (for example, face information) is read by the personal information input device 2 installed on the train (step S8), and the reading time and the reading are read. Information indicating that the place is the personal information input device 2 is transmitted to the transportation management server (step S9).
The transportation management server compares and compares the received personal information, time information, space information, and registration information in its own database (step S10), and creates the movement start information when the identity verification is completed (step S10). S11), and transmits to the personal real authentication server (step S12).
Here, the personal real authentication server compares and compares the movement information (movement start information) received from the home management server in the aircraft with the movement information (movement start information) received from the transportation management server. -Spatial continuity is determined (step S13). As a result, when the consistency is obtained, the registrant recognizes that it has moved from the space of the personal information input device 2 and does not actually exist in the space (step S14).
Similarly, when the registrant arrives at the office, personal information (for example, palm vein information) is read by the personal information input device 3 installed at the office door (step S15), and the reading time and the reading place are read. Is transmitted to the work management server (step S16).
The workplace management server compares and collates the received personal information, time information, spatial information, and registered information in its own database (step S17). ), Information indicating the end of movement is attached to the movement information (hereinafter referred to as movement stop information) and transmitted to the personal real authentication server (step S19).
Here, the personal real authentication server compares and compares the movement information (movement start information) received from the transportation management server in the aircraft with the movement information (movement stop information) received from the work management server. The spatial and spatial continuity is determined (step S20). As a result, when the consistency is obtained, the registrant recognizes that the registrant actually exists in the space near the personal information input device 3 (step S21).

In FIG. 1B, a plurality of personal information input devices 3 are connected to one management server 2. The composition ratio consisting of one upper terminal and one or more lower terminals managed by the terminal is defined as “unit”, and “terminal of the same unit” refers to terminals managed by the same terminal. “Terminal terminals” refers to terminals under the control of different terminals.
In the situation where the personal information input device is attached to various items, the “unit” composed mainly of the management server is a building, a structure such as a structure, a room, an aircraft, a vehicle, a vehicle, an automobile, a trunk, a box, A certain space such as a tent, a capsule, a locker, a mobile phone base station, or a park site is enclosed by the system configuration. Therefore, when the registrant's personal information is input at the terminal in the unit, it is possible to recognize that the registrant exists in the space.
In this system, a space where an individual is mainly present such as a home is a main unit, and a space frequently present daily such as a workplace or a school is a subunit.

In this configuration, when the authentication server 1 or each management server 2 and the affiliated personal information input device 3 recognize that the individual is in a unit, the authentication server 1 or the management server 2 Is limited to the terminals in this unit, and control signals that force the terminals outside the unit to stop using their personal existence information and the individual's personal existence information are used outside the unit. Information that indicates abnormal use is transmitted through the communication network.
Further, when the authentication server 1 or the management server 2 recognizes that the personal existence information is utilized outside this unit, it sends warning information to the terminals and servers in the authentication system through the communication line network. .

(Basic principle of goods management system)
Next, the basic configuration principle of the article management system includes an article server 4, an accumulation server 5, an article information input device 6, and an individual real authentication system as shown in FIG.
The article server 4 is provided with a database for storing information on the target article. The article server 4 is connected to a plurality of storage servers 5 via a communication network, and the article information transmitted from the article information input device 6 via the storage server 5 and the articles in the database. Check the information and register necessary information. Further, the article server 4 is connected to a personal existence authentication system via a communication network, and passes personal information, personal existence information, movement information, and the like.
The storage server 5 is, for example, a predetermined building such as the owner's home, factory material warehouse, production line, product warehouse, raw material manufacturer, transportation company, retail store, 7-7-7 Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, An information processing apparatus that collectively manages the article information input device 6 for each organization or area unit, and is connected to a plurality of article information input devices 6 that are grouped for each unit via a communication line network.
The storage server 5 is also provided with the above-described article information database. The article information received from the connected article information input device 6 is compared with the article information in the database. Register necessary information. The storage server 5 is connected to the personal existence authentication system through the communication line network in the same manner as the article server 4 and transfers personal information, personal existence information, movement information, and the like.
The article information input device 6 is a device installed in every place of the registrant's living space, such as a personal computer, a mobile phone, a handy terminal, a home appliance, etc. Information related to the article such as information in the electronic tag and two-dimensional barcode information is input (read) and transmitted to the storage server 5. Further, the personal information input device 3 is provided together with or integrated with the product information input device 6 to input personal information such as biometric information of persons concerned with the product such as a handling person, a manufacturing person, and an owner. (Reading) can be transmitted to the storage server 5 and the personal existence authentication system as personal information of the input person (reader, terminal operator) together with information related to the article.

Next, as shown in FIG. 3, the basic operation principle of the article management system will be described. Here, as for the product information, a manufacturing number, a product code, an identification ID, etc. are stored as electronic information in an electronic tag attached to the surface of the product.
The person in charge uses the article information input device 6 to read the article information, personal information for identifying the person in charge, time information, and space information from the electronic tag on the surface of the article (step S51). It transmits to the accumulation server 5 (step S52). Based on the received article information, the article server 4 and the storage server 5 search and identify whether the article information exists in the article information in the database stored in advance (step S53).
At the same time, the article server 4 and the storage server 5 transmit the received personal information and the like to the authentication server 1 and the management server 2 (step S54), and the person in charge actually exists in the space read by the article information input device 6. Authentication is requested and the result is received as movement information or authentication information (steps S55 to S59).
The article server 4 and the accumulation server 5 permit system processing such as new input, change, registration, etc. of article information when the article information is specified and the individual existence of the person in charge is authenticated (step S60). In step S61, system use permission information is transmitted to the article information input device 6 (step S62), and new article information is input (step S63) and transmitted (step S64). Thereafter, the article server 4 and the storage server 5 create an article identification ID based on the input information in step S63 and the movement information in step S59, and register it in the own machine together with a series of occurrence information (step S65).

If there is no corresponding article information at the time of the process of step S53 and the person's personal existence is authenticated by the process of step S57, in principle, the new article physically exists in the space where the person in charge exists. It is recognized as a new situation, and is registered as new article information in the database managed by the article server 4 and the storage server 5.
In addition, if the article information corresponding to the processing at step S53 is specified, but the personal existence of the person in charge is not authenticated by the processing at step S57, there is a possibility of unauthorized use of the system by impersonation. Suspend or restrict use, and request the implementation of personal identity verification again.
If there is no corresponding article information at the time of the process of step S53, and the personal existence is not authenticated by the process of step S57, it is considered that an abnormality has occurred and the utilization of the system is immediately stopped.

(Features common to all terminals)
Here, a description will be given of features common to the above-described terminals.
1. 1. Storage of installation position information of own machine 2. Auxiliary transmission function such as installation location information of own machine 3. Storage of terminal identification ID Storing the purpose of use information

(Common features of each terminal: 1. Storage of installation position information or installation space information)
Each terminal stores installation position information indicating the position where the terminal is installed.
This installation position information is two-dimensional or three-dimensional information of the position where the information terminal is actually installed, or information indicating the name of the installation position. The two-dimensional information is represented by latitude and longitude, and the three-dimensional information is spatial recognition information represented by the height from the ground or the depth of the basement in addition to the latitude and longitude. The height or depth may be, for example, a display such as the second floor of a building or the first basement floor, or a display above sea level, in addition to a metric display. In addition, examples of the name of the installation position include those in which the installation position is fixed, such as “XX Building 6th Floor”, for example, airplanes, helicopters, trains, trains, automobiles, elevators, escalators, portable terminals For example, the installation position and altitude that change from moment to moment are indicated as, for example, “Oviation owned XX company ΔΔ type aircraft, boarding port right door of aircraft number 123”.
When a position information recognition authentication system represented by a GPS authentication system or a flight recorder is available, the installation position information may be displayed in an information form defined by the position information recognition authentication system. For mobile phones and personal digital assistants, where the position of the terminal changes every moment, it recognizes the applicable area of base stations, radio wave receivers, etc. that perform wireless communication, infrared communication, etc. as space, This is installation location information.
In order to store the location information, only the ID information for identifying the own device is stored in the terminal, the location information linked to the ID information in another terminal in the network is acquired through the communication network 200, and the location information is stored. Needless to say, the recognition method is also included.
In the example described above, each terminal stores information indicating its own installation position in itself. However, if the information terminal includes a device capable of recognizing the current position such as GPS, the device The current position (2D / 3D information or the situation around the installation position) may be recognized.

(Common features of each terminal: 2. Auxiliary transmission function such as installation position information of own device)
Each terminal has a function of transmitting input (reading) information, movement information, and various types of information to the system server and other terminals. At this time, each terminal transmits the transmission information in association with the above-described installation position information of the terminal and the terminal identification ID. This makes it possible to easily determine the information transmission source and spatial information in the system.

(Basic information of each terminal: 3. Storage of terminal identification ID)
Each terminal is assigned unique identification information (including a terminal identification ID) for identifying the terminal itself, and stores the identification information of each terminal.
This identification information may be a character string of several digits such as a general identification ID or a recognition number. Further, it is preferable that the identification information is given a name of the installation location and a specific description. In particular, in the case of terminals installed at one point represented by the same latitude and longitude, identification information is given according to installation altitude and installation purpose so that clear terminal identification is possible.

(Basic information held by each terminal: 4. Storage of usage information of own device)
In addition to the function of authenticating the registrant and transmitting / receiving the authentication result and the personal information of the registrant, each terminal has other functions in combination and can be applied to multiple purposes. Often, information indicating the available functions is stored.
For example, in the case of the terminal 160 installed on the doorknob outside the house entrance, when the registrant holds the doorknob to enter the building, authentication is performed and the door is unlocked to enter the room. Determine whether to allow. At the same time, it may be set such that the operation of instructing the process of automatically turning on the room lamp is performed concomitantly with the recognition that “it will be in the house”. Thus, the convenience of a terminal can be improved by overlapping a plurality of purposes on one terminal.

(Explanation of database configuration example)
As shown in FIG. 4B, the general DB 11 includes an article related information DB 12, a person related information DB 13, and an extracted information DB 14.
Unless otherwise specified, information in the database managed by the article management system server 10, the article storage terminal 110, and the merchandise information terminal 130 is collectively referred to as article information.
Of these, the article-related information DB 12 is a database that stores information related to the history of articles.

(Article ID ID grant time / accompanying method)
It is possible to always attach (name) an article identification ID to an article, and it is also possible to attach a plurality of article identification IDs to one article.
Also, the given article identification ID is stored in an electronic tag attached to the article, printed on the surface of the product as a two-dimensional barcode, and stamped on the product surface layer. Attached to goods.

(Preparation of current product identification ID)
The article identification ID of the current article management system is generally created by combining the following methods (1) to (4) with the following methods (5) to (8).
(1) Number number (2) Character string combining numbers and letters (figure) (3) Character string obtained by multiplying (1), (2), (4) by a certain algorithm (4) (1), (2) A character string obtained by replacing certain characters in (3) with other characters (5) A method of numbering in order (reverse version).
For example, a method of assigning numbers and the like in the order of 1, 2, and 3.
(6) Random assignment For example, a method of randomly assigning a number or the like such as 592, 306, 197.
(7) Regional (country, state, prefecture, municipality, etc.) information supplementation For example, 49 is added to indicate Japan, 13 is to indicate Tokyo, and 01 is to indicate Chiyoda Ward.
(8) Ancillary information on organization (manufacturer, association, producer, etc.) For example, a method of adding 001 indicating A company and 0085 indicating Z company.
(9) A method in which (5) to (8) are combined.

The current product identification ID is used as a unique number arbitrarily selected by each party.
It can be identified inside the parties concerned. However, when an article existing in the whole society is considered, the same character string “A0001” is assigned to the personal computer manufactured by the company A, and “A0001” is also assigned to the personal computer manufactured by the company B. There are some examples of using. For this reason, in the current article management system, there has been a confusion in terms of operation.
In this article management system, in order to rectify this problem and to reliably identify the article to be managed, the human identification information is combined with the article identification ID, and even if the same identification ID is generated, It is characterized by enabling identification based on information.

(Article identification ID of the present invention)
In this system, an article identification ID is created with the main purpose of clarifying a person related to the article and making it possible to easily verify the personal information.
Note that the item identification ID of this system has no limit on the number of characters, the arrangement order of items used to create the ID can be arbitrarily changed, multiple example items can be used, and the usage items can be easily recognized In order to do so, it has the feature that a space or a certain identification symbol can be inserted between items.

(Product ID ID Principle Movement information)
The identification information indicates the movement information itself given by the personal existence authentication system after the person involved in the manufacture of the article, the possessed person, etc. (hereinafter referred to as the article related person) receives the authentication of the individual existence. Use as
Here, the time information constituting the movement information generated when the person of “JP01” is actually authenticated (July 1, 2006, 09:00:37) “20060601090037” and the spatial information (here, the terminal identification ID) By combining “ab” and the person information (person identification ID) “JP01”, “20060701090037abJP01” is set as the article identification ID in the article management system.
As a general rule, the present article management system authenticates the identity of the person who requested the issuance or grant of the article identification ID (hereinafter, including the case of changing or replacing), and the person related to the article. The movement information (3 points of spatial information, time information, and personal identification ID) used for this purpose is incorporated as essential information.
“Individual existence” means that the individual physically exists in a certain space at a specific time, and the same person cannot exist in a different space at the same time. Therefore, by creating an article information ID based on movement information that has authenticated the existence of an individual, it is possible to create a unique article identification ID derived from a human.
Furthermore, since the movement information which is the actual authentication result is used, it is difficult to perform the information operation for the matching by the pre-processing or the post-processing, and the reliability of the article identification ID information can be ensured.

  With this article identification ID, the personal identification ID can be easily recognized, and the person related to the article after the provision of the article identification ID is stored in the history information databases 22, 122, 124 based on this personal identification ID. By referring to personal information such as personal credit information, reputation, and career, it is possible to examine the reliability of related parties as well as the reliability of supply chain information and traceability information of the goods concerned.

(Article ID ID Variant 1 Combining barcode information)
In the variant 1, the current barcode (usually a 13-digit number) attached to the article is combined with the article identification ID indicated in principle to obtain the article identification ID.
In Variant 1, since the current barcode system is linked to the country name, manufacturer name, and product name, it is possible to recognize the general information about the article and to connect with the movement information. Enable easy system migration and operation.

(Article ID ID Variant 2 Combined Organization Information)
In the variant 2, “20060601090037abJP01IHC” in which the organization information (here, IHC) to which the person concerned of the article belongs is combined with the article identification ID indicated in principle is set as the article identification ID.
Consumers (households) who own the goods or organizations that only use the goods (for example, hospitals and schools) are not eligible for registration under the current barcode system, so most goods are owned / It does not have information to identify the affiliation related to the current situation such as occupation / use. Due to variant 2, individuals, companies, associations, organizations, etc. will incorporate their attribute information into the item identification ID, making it possible to easily identify the parties concerned at the moment, causing loss or neglect, etc. Even to be able to identify the necessary contacts.

(Combination of article identification ID variant 3 personal authentication terminal identification ID)
The terminal identification IDs of the personal authentication system server 20, personal authentication terminal 120, and personal information terminal 140 that authenticate the movement information that is the basis for creating the basic article identification ID (in this example, JPT01 “20060601090037abJP01JPT01” combined with the item identification ID.
It is allowed to incorporate the terminal identification ID that has been subjected to the personal existence authentication into the article identification ID according to the modification 3. By clarifying the terminal that authenticates the existence of an individual, if it is necessary to verify the legitimacy of the item identification ID, the terminal that manages the necessary personal information, movement information that is the object of comparison, etc. It will be easy to grasp and make the process more efficient.

(Conversion by article identification ID modification 4 algorithm)
A number or character different from the number or character of the principle, which is calculated by multiplying all or part of the item identification ID indicated in principle by a predetermined algorithm, is used as the item identification ID.
As a result, it is difficult to obtain the movement information used to create the article identification ID, and it is possible to prevent forgery of the article identification ID, detect illegal IDs, and protect privacy.

The algorithms are generally the following (1) to (5).
(1) Convert basic numbers, characters and figures (hereinafter referred to as numbers and characters) to numbers and characters defined in the conversion law.
For example, as an alphabet conversion part, when applying the same rule in the following order, the alphabet “A or a” in the article identification ID of the principle to the number “01”, the alphabet “B or b” to the number “02”, The letter “Z or z” is converted to the number “26”. Since the letter “J” is converted to the number “10” and the letter “P” is converted to the number “16”, the article identification ID indicated in principle is displayed as “31165111293151311192900101020210161113”.
(2) Multiply and convert the basic number and the character set to the mathematical formula.
For example, the number “0” in the principle article identification ID is applied to “1 + 2 ⁰ ”, the number “1” is applied to “1 + 2 ¹ ”, and the same rule is applied in order, the number “9” is converted to “1 + 2 ⁹ ”. Calculate as As a result, the number “0” is converted into “1”, the number “1” is converted into “1 + 2” and “3”, the number “9” is converted into “1 + 512” and “513”, and displayed in the article identification ID.
(3) The part corresponding to the condition is converted within a certain range of numbers and characters.
For example, when the condition is set to convert the arrangement of “23” for every five characters to “AA”, “12345567890” is converted to “1AA4567890” and displayed as the article identification ID.
(4) Multiply and convert the number sequence and function determined by the base number and characters.
For example, when a condition is set to add a numerical value of an arithmetic sequence of “first term 1, add constant number 2 one after another” for each character of number “1234”, number 1 is “1 + 1− = 2”, The number 2 is converted to “2+ (1 + 2) = 5”, the number 3 is converted to “3+ (3 + 2) = 8”, the number 4 is converted to “4+ (5 + 2) = 11”, and “25811” is set as the item identification ID.
(5) A method combining (1) to (4).
For example, it refers to performing a plurality of conversion methods such as combining (3) with the result obtained after (1) is performed.

(Display of product identification ID modification 5 conversion method)
When the basic article identification ID is converted by an algorithm (including a calculated method and formula), information indicating the used algorithm is incorporated into the article identification ID. When the algorithm (1) of the modified example 4 is “A01”, “A013116115129315131119190010101021010161113” is set as the item identification ID.
When the product identification ID before conversion is required based on the information indicating the algorithm used, it is possible to easily disassemble with the algorithm using the current product identification ID.

(Display of product identification ID variant 6 branch number)
When a plurality of articles are produced simultaneously or consecutively by a single personal authentication, a common article identification ID is determined, and branch numbers corresponding to the number produced are incorporated into the determined article identification ID. The item identification ID is used.
In this case, not only the branch number but also information indicating that the branch number is incorporated (for example, “EB”), the total number of branch numbers, or another processing unit such as production / processing is managed. If it is, the management ID may be attached.
By incorporating the branch number, it is possible to cope with an article identification ID of a mass production method such as a machine part or processed food, or a production line use method.
The article identification ID based on the movement information is a unique identification ID due to the characteristics of the movement information. By adding branch number information to the basic information, the identification ID assigned to each article is a characteristic as a unique ID. Continue to have.

(Article ID ID Variant 7 status code)
The article identification ID is obtained by combining the article identification ID shown in principle with a code (hereinafter referred to as a situation code) indicating the status and possession state of the article when the article identification ID is attached.
By easily recognizing the state of the article based on the status code and rearranging based on the situation code, it is possible to create the history information of the article. At the same time, it will be possible to prevent the infringement of property rights such as unauthorized use and unauthorized transfer of such goods, and to clarify the conditions of use such as sublease restrictions, and to strengthen article management.
FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of the status code list, and classifies information relating to the state generated in the article and related parties from item 1 indicating the outline to item 4 indicating the detailed contents. A code corresponding to each classification, contents explaining the range and contents included in each classification, and information such as an identifier that defines whether or not processing is restricted are listed.
For example, in the case where the article identification ID includes an unauthorized transfer prohibition code “WA”, the ownership change process is performed by performing a personal identity verification of the conventional owner and confirming the intention. As a result, it becomes difficult to impersonate the system by improperly operating the system, and it is possible to easily protect the ownership.

(Article ID ID 8) When there are multiple parties in the same article 1)
In a production line of a general manufacturing factory, the factory manager (Mr. A) who is in charge and the person in charge (Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D) who performs each work process (for example, processing, assembly, inspection) Consists of. The plant manager manages the personnel information database that stores the attendance status, working attitude, department in charge, proficiency level, etc. of each person in charge, and the production management information database that stores the production quantity, quality, work status, etc. of the product. If the factory manager is recognized as a representative, the movement information of the factory manager, the organization information on the factory side, and a code (for example, “GR”) indicating that there are a plurality of related parties are combined to identify the product. ID.

In the present article management system, the existence of a person related to an article is clarified, thereby making it possible to identify the article, determine the authenticity, and whether there is a problem. Therefore, the movement information linked to the related person is used as the basis of the article identification ID.
When multiple people are involved in the manufacture and distribution of the same item at the same time or in close proximity, adding the movement information of all members related to the item identification ID increases the amount of information and overloads the communication network. It becomes a burden. Therefore, when it is clear that they are related to the goods jointly, it is not the movement information of each related person but the movement information of the representative, the information indicating the organization to which the related party belongs, and the existence of multiple parties. It combines with the information which shows, and makes it item identification ID.
(1) Example of producing or producing goods by sharing work at the same time or close time Factory production line, restaurant food processing, fleet-type fishing, livestock industry such as ranch management and poultry farm, cottage industry , Building work, etc. (2) Example of joint work from production or production of goods to distribution and sales Agricultural cooperatives (collecting from individual farmers and bringing them into the wholesale market), with multiple material suppliers If the processing company has a contract for consistent production (for example, beverages and alcoholic beverages supplied by a contracted farmer supplying vegetables or fruits and processed by a beverage maker or brewery, or contracted farmers or livestock farmers Supplies agricultural and livestock products, cosmetics and health foods processed and sold by cosmetic manufacturers)

When individual related party information is required, the time information and the spatial information in which the article is processed are identified from the article identification ID, and the person existing in the spatial information corresponding to the corresponding time information is identified as a personnel information database and production management. By comparing and verifying with the information database, it can be easily grasped.
The representative only designates a specific person, such as a line length for managing a production line, a group leader for managing a limited range, or any one of a plurality of persons in charge. Therefore, when the factory manager is absent (vacation, business trip, etc.), the movement information of the representative of the factory manager who works at the factory is used.
In addition, when the work is shared between a small number of people or a family, such as in a cottage industry, a fishing boat, or a farm, a database that manages personnel information and production management information may be exempted.

(Article ID ID Variant 9 When there are multiple parties in the same article 2)
Three of the four persons in charge (Mr. B, Mr. C, Mr. D, and Mr. E) attended the production line of the manufacturing plant, and shared work processes (processing, assembly, and inspection) in the three fields. ing.
FIG. 6A is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a person-in-charge situation matrix in which the attendance date of the person in charge and the work process in charge are stored. Includes information that is digitized, textualized (including symbolized), or coded, and the scope of response ranges from managing work sharing within the same organization to managing personnel and role sharing of the entire supply chain system is there.
In variant 9, the movement information of Mr. B representing the person in charge of work and a code indicating that Mr. B, Mr. C and Mr. D worked and worked (for example, “PA01” or multiple numerical values “P92M05C73”) Combined to make an article identification ID.
Mainly, if the code of each work is fixed or the sharing status can be easily grasped, multiple quantification is used when the work sharing of each individual fluctuates daily or when it is difficult to grasp the sharing status In addition, the status is simply displayed, and the involvement status of a plurality of parties is incorporated into the item identification ID.
In addition, when a plurality of articles are produced at the same time or close to each other, the transfer information provider (representative) used for the article identification ID is changed for each article, and an irregular article identification ID is attached to the article. The forgery prevention effect of identification ID can also be heightened.

(Attached item identification ID modification example 10 personal existence rate)
The item identification ID is obtained by combining the item identification ID indicated in principle with the information (for example, “RE85”) representing the individual real rate of the person.
In the modified example 10, the registered personal information of the person included in the article identification ID is converted into a numerical value to calculate the actual rate, and the actual accuracy of the person can be recognized. As a result, the higher the actual ratio value included in the item identification ID, the clearer the identification of the actor and the location of responsibility.

The real rate, which is an index representing the authenticity of realism, is calculated by any of the following formulas 1-5.
(Formula 1)
Reality rate (%) = 1-Risk probability (Formula 2)
Reality rate (%) = Risk rate consideration points ÷ Reality points × 100
(Formula 3)
Reality rate (%) = Credit evaluation factor / Actual number x 100
(Formula 4)
Reality rate (%) = total mining rate ÷ number of mining rates used for addition (Formula 5)
Each real rate calculated by Equations 1 to 3 is multiplied by the real rate calculated by Equation 4 to calculate each real rate.
Real ratio (%) = (Real ratio calculated by Formula 1 to Formula 3) × (Real ratio calculated by Formula 4)

For each piece of personal information registered in the personal authentication system, a score is determined based on the reliability, uniqueness, quantity, etc. of the registered information. The score is multiplied by the score or evaluation rate taking into account the elapsed time from the registration time point, the expiration date, the verification result, and the elapsed time from the verification time point to calculate the acquired score, and the actual score is calculated as the total.
Further, the basic score is calculated by multiplying the score obtained by the index (1-risk rate) reflecting the element of the risk of fraud, and the risk rate consideration score is calculated as the total.
Credit assessment consideration score is obtained by multiplying the above-mentioned basic score by the credit rating degree (1 is the highest value and 0 is the lowest value) of the issuing organization such as the person or group who proved the registrant's existence, ID card, etc. The calculated points are summed up to calculate the credit evaluation consideration points.
The mining rate is calculated according to how much the behavior pattern of the recent certain period matches the behavior pattern of the registrant in the past certain period.
Verification base mining rate = number of corresponding pattern actions during a certain period in the past ÷ number of days in a target period Target mining rate = number of corresponding pattern actions during the most recent period ÷ number of days in the last fixed period Mining rate (%) = target destination mining rate ÷ Verification base mining rate

(Article ID ID Modification Example 11 Personal credit incidental)
By combining information (for example, “TR1”) representing the personal credit of the person with the item identification ID indicated in principle, the item identification ID is obtained.
In the modified example 11, the system usage status of the person is quantified and the trustworthiness is calculated so that the trustworthiness of the person can be recognized. As a result, the higher the reliability value included in the article identification ID, the clearer the person who has less problems with past system use.

The reliability of the system usage status is calculated using the following formula.
(formula)
Credit rating = initial set score + credit addition score-credit loss score If this results in a credit rating exceeding "0", "TRP" and a numerical value are combined (for example, "TRP5"), and if below "0" “TRM” is combined with a numerical value and displayed (for example, “TRM3”), and “TRE” is displayed when it is “0”. When the calculated credit quality is the same as the initially set credit quality, “TRS” indicating that there is no change in the credit quality is displayed.
In order to distinguish between long-term users and first-time users of the system, the reliability of the first user is set to “TRB” for a certain period from the start of system participation or until the number of times of system utilization reaches a certain level. It may be displayed.

The initial set number is a numerical value that is set uniformly for all the users at the start of system use.
The credit addition score is a numerical value that is given by evaluating the achievements that have been actively involved in improving the accuracy of the system and system construction, the labor involved in reporting or detecting unauthorized use of the system, and the like.
The credit loss score is a numerical value calculated when an illegal act stipulated by the system is performed. It is a numerical value obtained by evaluating and subtracting a phenomenon regarded as an act of damaging credit from the aspect of system operation. It is unrelated to the punishment that is made.
FIG. 6B is a diagram illustrating an example of the entire content of the credit score table, and FIGS. 7 and 8 are diagrams illustrating an example of the detailed content. The credit scoring table shows the matters that have occurred or discovered, the degree of involvement in those matters, the degree of achievement to the system and society, the degree to which human life is concerned, the approximate number of people affected or the number of people expected to be affected, the economy Loss estimation, system and social validity period, elapsed time since fraud was discovered or publicized, designated fields (food and medical care that directly affects human life, and electricity and water that have a large impact on society as a whole And infrastructure related to transportation, etc.), provisions such as system usage periods without violations, warning information indicating the occurrence of new points, etc. can be registered. In addition, a table for replacing each item with a numerical value is prepared, and the contents are constantly disclosed and updated.

Credit score = Total credit score + No violation period Credit score = Accrual x Degree of involvement x Achievement x Effectiveness period Credit loss = Total credit loss points Credit loss = (credit loss 1 + credit Lost point 2) x Designated field Credit loss point 1 = Discovery matter x Degree of involvement x Life influence level x Person influence coefficient x Elapsed period Credit loss point 2 = Discovery matter x Degree of involvement x Economic loss factor x Elapsed period

  Since the actual ratio and the credit rating are related to the personal history information, the calculation result information, the transition of the result, and the like are stored in the personal authentication system server or the like. In addition, the actual ratio and the credit rating may be disclosed by the registrant himself.

(Judgment of legitimacy and identity of goods)
The determination of the legitimacy and identity of an article is verified by utilizing spatial information, time information, and personal information included in the article identification ID. By verifying the continuity and consistency between the pieces of movement information that are the basis of the article identification ID, it is possible to determine authenticity determination, owner determination, legitimacy of article history, and the like.
The following (1) to (3) are examples of determining “injustice” or “fear”.
(1) Inconsistency in time information In the case of home appliances, the time information determined from the item identification ID attached to the parts constituting the product is not before the time information of the item identification ID attached at the time of completion or inspection processing. Information is considered discontinuous. This is because a product is completed by assembling parts, and the parts must exist before the product is completed.
Also, if the time information of the product identification ID at the time of product completion is 10:00 on July 1, 2006, the shortest travel time between the UK and Japan (average 11 hours by aircraft) If goods exist in Japan before 5:00 on July 2, 2006, taking into account the time difference (8 hours), time information becomes inconsistent.
(2) Contradiction of spatial information In the case of a purely domestic product, the spatial information of all article identification IDs attached to the product and the part is information indicating the domestic space. However, if there is spatial information of foreign countries or customs / bonded warehouses, it is regarded as discontinuity of the spatial information. This is because purely domestic products are limited to domestic spaces.
In addition, when branded goods are imported from Italy to Japan, goods identification IDs are created at the time of passage through customs in Japan, at the time of warehouse storage in Japan, at the time of delivery to an authorized dealer, etc., and managed as a series of information within the system. If so, the goods are deemed to exist in Japan. For this reason, the sale of branded goods with the same product identification ID outside of Japan is a contradiction in spatial information.
(3) Contradiction of status code When the status code is included in the item identification ID, it is possible to determine the legitimacy and identity in detail based on the consistency between the status code and the current status.
When the status code in the product identification ID attached to the product indicates “in possession”, the product is not sold as a new product at the store. This is inconsistent with the situation where once owned ones are new.

FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of the contents of a determination table that summarizes the items to be subjected to the determination process and the determination contents for validating validity and identity, and the identity of item identification ID, time information, and spatial information And main judgment items such as continuity and consistency of status codes. In addition, the consistency of creation items (excluding spatial information, time information, and status codes) included in the item identification ID, the type of IC tag or IC chip that stores the item identification ID, the identity of the manufacturer, model number, etc. It is also possible to verify auxiliary items such as safety, personal reliability, risk rate due to the length of time from the previous authentication to the current authentication request, and the identity of the article name and shape.
It should be noted that the contents of determination of the legitimacy and identity of an article are set in the system, and main items are automatically verified during the article authentication process. The determination table is created when the person who requests the certification of the article requests verification of auxiliary items.

(Registration history of goods information transition)
In the system, when processing such as changing or correcting the article identification ID attached to an article, the article identification ID before processing and the creation element item are correlated, and the article identification ID after processing and the creation element item are correlated. Register as history information.

<First Embodiment>
(Attached to product identification ID)
FIG. 10A is a diagram showing a terminal configuration example in each management organization and manufacturer factory.
FIG. 11 is a sequence chart showing an operation example of the article management system when information about a person related to the article is added to the article information in the first embodiment of the present invention.

The personal information terminal 140A reads the personal information when the employee goes to work (step S111), and transmits the personal information, the time information during the reading process, and the spatial information of the own device to the personal authentication terminal 120A (step S112). . The personal authentication terminal 120A collates the received personal information (step S113), and if it matches, creates movement stop information (step S114) and transmits it to the personal authentication system server 20 (step S115). The personal authentication system server 20 recognizes the personal existence by comparing the movement information (steps S116 to S117), and as a result, indicates that the real authentication can be performed with the information that permits entry into the factory (door unlocking). Information is transmitted to the personal authentication terminal 120A to recognize that it is a real space (steps S118 to S119).
A terminal in which the personal information terminal 140B and the product information terminal 130B are integrated is installed in the production line. When the product is completed, the employee reads the personal information by the personal information terminal 140B (step S120), and requests the personal information, time information at the time of the reading process, spatial information of the own device, and permission to use the product information terminal 130B. Information is transmitted to the personal authentication terminal 120A (step S121).
The personal authentication terminal 120A collates the received personal information, creates movement stop information from the received information if they match, and examines whether or not it matches the movement information recognized by the own device (movement stop information in step S115). When the consistency is established, it is determined that the individual exists, and the employee recognizes that it exists in the production line space (step S122), and transmits information that permits the use of the employee to the product information terminal 130B (step S123). At the same time, the employee movement stop information and the information permitting use of the product information terminal 130B are transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A (step S124). By the processing in step S126, the article accumulation terminal 110A recognizes that the processing request information is transmitted from the product information terminal 130B.

The employee requests the article storage terminal 110A to assign an article identification ID to the article storage terminal 110A using the merchandise information terminal 130B (step S125). An article identification ID is created (step S126), the article identification ID and movement stop information are transmitted to the article system server 10, and an authentication request for the created article identification ID is made (step S127).
The article system server 10 compares the article identification ID registered in the article identification ID list provided in its own apparatus with the requested article identification ID, and there is no identical article identification ID (unused) ) Is verified (step S128), and if the same item identification ID does not exist, the item identification ID, movement information, etc. are registered in the item identification ID list (step S129). Thereafter, the authentication result is transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A (step S130).
Upon receiving the authentication result information, the article storage terminal 110A stores the article identification ID in the article-related information DB 112 in the own machine as necessary (step S131), and transmits the article identification ID to the merchandise information terminal 130B ( Step S132).
The merchandise information terminal 130B has an article identification ID as an essential item, a registration time as an optional item, a registration time, an own device and a related terminal (the article accumulation terminal 110A, the article system server 10) on an electronic tag attached to the product with the received article identification ID. A terminal identification ID and the like are registered (step S133).

FIG. 10B is a diagram illustrating an example of the contents of the article identification ID list, the article identification ID, the movement information that is the basis for creating the article identification ID, the reception time of the authentication request information, the transmission source terminal, It contains information such as the total number of branch numbers and algorithms.
In addition, the article identification ID list is used not only in the article management system, but also in supply chain information utilized by individual parties, in order to browse the history information of the article, verify authenticity, and investigate related persons. Linked with traceability information, ownership information, personal history information, etc.
On the other hand, FIG.10 (c) is a modification of FIG.10 (b), and stores the item identification ID list and the element item used for producing the said item identification ID in another database.
In this figure, first, an item list is provided, and the movement information and the reception time, the conversion method, the calculation method, and the human-related information such as the article identification ID as the calculation result are stored. At the same time, an article identification ID conversion correspondence table is provided to store the article identification ID and information indicating the algorithm used to calculate the identification ID. Then, an article identification ID list is provided, and only the article identification ID of the calculation result is stored. By storing the creation element item of the article identification ID in a separate database, information leakage due to unauthorized access or hacking is limited.

In the conventional personal authentication, only a single action such as password entry and possession of an authentication card is possible, and an unauthorized operation is possible.
In the present article management system, an article identification ID based on personal existence information is used, so that an actor can always be identified and has an anti-fraud effect.

<Second Embodiment>
(When the same product identification ID exists)
FIG. 12 shows the operation of the article management system in the second embodiment of the present invention when duplicate article identification IDs exist in the article identification ID list of the article system server 10 in the first embodiment. It is a sequence chart which shows an example.

The article system server 10 performs the same process as step S128 of the first embodiment (step S151). As a result, if the same ID as the article identification ID newly requested for authentication already exists, the article system server 10 Authentication of the article identification ID is rejected (step S152), and authentication rejection result information and information indicating that the same article identification ID already exists in the article management system are transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A. (Step S153).
When receiving the same ID presence information as the authentication rejection information, the article accumulation terminal 110A temporarily stores the article identification ID created initially in the article-related information DB 112 in its own apparatus as a hold (step S154). Thereafter, a new article identification ID is created by multiplying the movement information used to create the article identification ID by another algorithm, or by adding / deleting items used for creation (step S155).
Subsequent processes are the same as steps S128 to S133 of the first embodiment (steps S156 to S163). At this time, when the re-created article identification ID is authenticated, the article storage terminal 110A deletes the information stored in step S154 (step S161).
However, if the same product identification ID already exists for the re-created product identification ID, the processes in steps S151 to S155 in the second embodiment are repeated.

  If the same product identification ID exists even after the above process is repeated, the product system server 10 requests the product storage terminal 110A to authenticate the identity of the user again, and the product identification ID based on the new movement information. Request creation. This is in order to prevent a new item identification ID from being created due to a change in the basic item and a time lapse risk from occurring by verifying the individual existence again.

However, the exception is that the same article identification ID in the system is the exception, such as when converting to conform to the database standards of existing systems, or when the article identification ID creation method or algorithm is limited and cannot be converted again. Admit that it exists.
In this case, as shown in FIG. 13A, information (for example, identifier “1”) indicating that the same item identification ID is duplicated and the movement information that is the creation basis from the spatial information and time information. Are extracted and displayed in the article identification ID list or item list.
In the case of article verification processing or history information acquisition, article identification IDs having data approximated based on the space and time in which an article currently exists are sequentially searched and specified.
As shown in FIG. 13 (b), the product name, model number, specific features, general name, etc. may be displayed together on the item identification ID list to facilitate the search. .
Since the item identification ID is based on the individual's actual information (movement information), in principle there is no duplication of the same item identification ID. However, by multiplying a plurality of algorithms, the calculation result may coincide with the same number or character string. Therefore, even if the article identification ID on the surface is the same, the detailed information based on the movement information is different, so that it can be finally determined, and the same article identification ID is allowed to be duplicated.

<Third Embodiment>
(Rewriting article identification ID)
FIG. 14 shows that in the third embodiment of the present invention, when a new event or a related person occurs in an article attached with an article identification ID, information indicating the fact is added to the article identification ID by movement information. It is a sequence chart which shows the operation example of the article | item management system at the time of doing.

(Basic example: Addition type)
The employee recognizes the real space by going through steps S111 to S119 of the first embodiment and steps S120 to S124 of the first embodiment when the parts arrive, so that the product information terminal 130B Get permission to use.
The employee reads the article identification ID attached to the part arrived by the commodity information terminal 130B (step S201), and transmits the read article identification ID and information for requesting the change of the article identification ID to the article storage terminal 110A. (Step S202).
When the article storage terminal 110A receives the change request information for the article identification ID from the merchandise information terminal 130B, the article accumulation terminal 110A adds the movement information received in step S124 to the article identification ID to create a new article identification ID (step S203). With respect to the article system server 10, the article identification ID read in step S201, the article identification ID created in step S203, the movement information received in step S124, the change authentication request for the article identification ID, and the addition of information to the DB 11 A registration request is made (step S204).
The article system server 10 extracts registration information of the article identification ID list in the own machine based on the article identification ID read in step S201 (step S205), and verifies the consistency between the article identification ID and the registration information (step S205). Step S206). If it is determined that there is consistency, the article identification ID created in step S203 is attached to the article by the same processing as in steps S128 to S133 of the first embodiment (steps S207 to S213).
When registering the article identification ID, movement information, etc. in step S203 in the article identification ID list, link information is set between the old and new article identification IDs so that mutual information can be utilized (step S209).

(Modification 1 of the third embodiment 1 Compression type, algorithm type, replacement type)
In the basic example, the item identification ID based on the movement information at the time of change is added to the existing item identification ID to obtain the item identification ID after the change. There was a problem that the amount of information increased.
In the modified example, it is possible to grasp the change of the item identification ID and the link destination of the related information while compressing the information amount of the item identification ID during the process of step S203.
In the compression type, when the article identification ID attached to the component is read, the conventional article identification ID is compressed to a predetermined number of characters and information amount. At this time, the product identification ID (for example, “C01”) obtained by compressing the information (for example, “C”) indicating that compression is performed and the information (for example, “01”) indicating the total number of compressions of the product identification ID. To join. The compressed article identification ID is combined with the article identification ID created based on the new movement information to create the article identification ID.
In the algorithm type, the existing article identification ID and the content created based on the new movement information are converted by an algorithm to create a new article identification ID with a reduced amount of information. At this time, it is desirable to combine information indicating compression by an algorithm (for example, “M”) and information indicating the total number of compressions with a new article identification ID.
In the replacement type, in the process of step S203, the conventional article identification ID is replaced with a new article identification ID created based on the movement information received in step S124. At this time, it is desirable to combine information (for example, “R”) indicating that replacement has been performed with the new article identification ID.
Examples of this variation include the transition of article identification ID, compression code, original article identification ID, new article identification ID, information indicating compression and replacement processing, algorithm method, article identification ID list link destination, etc. Prepare a list of information.

(Modification example 2 limited replacement type of the third embodiment)
In the replacement type of the modification example 1, both the spatial information and the time information are updated by attaching a new article identification ID. However, the owners of goods are often not only individuals but also organizations such as corporations, voluntary organizations, and households. A difference arises, and store space information, which is space information at the time of purchase, differs from a space (for example, home) existing after purchase.
In the following cases (1) to (3), a replacement type of partial information constituting the article identification ID may be used. Here, a description will be given by performing the processing of the third embodiment in a space existing after purchase.
(1) When the owner is the same individual, it is allowed to replace spatial information.
In the process of step S202, information requesting “change of spatial information by owner” is also transmitted. In the process of step S203, the spatial information included in the conventional article identification ID is replaced with the spatial information in the movement information created by the new personal authentication. At this time, it is desirable to combine information (for example, “P”) indicating that the spatial information has been replaced and information indicating the total number of changes with the new article identification ID.
(2) If the relationship between the individual and the organization that is the owner is clearly registered in the system, the person information can be replaced with the organization information, and the spatial information can be replaced.
In the process of step S202, information for requesting “registration of article organization information” and “change of spatial information by owner” is also transmitted. In the process of step S203, the article storage terminal 110A charges and acquires “the personal organization information of the person” from the personal authentication terminal 120A that is the transmission source of the movement information in step S124 at the time of purchase. Then, the spatial information is replaced with the spatial information in the movement information created by the new personal authentication in place of the belonging organization information obtained from the personal information included in the conventional article identification ID. At this time, it is desirable to combine information indicating replacement (for example, “O”) and information indicating the total number of changes with the new article identification ID.
(3) When the main (sub) unit information related to the individual is clearly registered on the system, the person information and the spatial information are allowed to be replaced with the unit spatial information.
In the process of step S202, information requesting “change of spatial information by owner” or “registration of unit information” is also transmitted. In the process of step S203, the article storage terminal 110A requests and obtains the individual unit information from the personal authentication terminal 120A that is the transmission source of the movement information in step S124 at the time of purchase. Then, the human information and the spatial information included in the conventional article identification ID are replaced with the acquired unit information. At this time, it is desirable to combine information (for example, “U”) indicating that replacement has been performed and information indicating the total number of changes with the new article identification ID.

In this article management system, when a new event occurs in an article, a new article identification ID is created based on the movement information of the parties concerned, and the article history is managed.
In principle, goods (excluding livestock and fishery products) do not move freely on their own will, and humans are always involved in the movement and movement of the place. For this reason, it is possible to provide the responsible person and credit information by utilizing the movement information derived from the actual information of the person related to the event applied to the article for the transition history of the article.

<Fourth embodiment>
(Storing ownership information)
FIG. 15 shows that in the fourth embodiment of the present invention, when an owner is determined for an article attached with an article identification ID, information indicating that it is owned and owner information are added to the article identification ID. It is a sequence chart which shows the operation example of the article management system at the time of going.
In this embodiment, the description will be based on the possession of goods. By using together with the situation code corresponding to the situation, the relationship between the person and the article at the time of creation of the article identification ID is clarified.

(Basic example Reality authentication based on the basic principle)
When the employee goes to work and the purchaser (hereinafter including the owner) visits the store, the system recognizes the real space by the same processing as steps S111 to S119 in the first embodiment.
When the purchaser determines the purchased product, the employee recognizes the real space through the same processing as steps S120 to S124 in the first embodiment, using the personal information terminal 140C provided at the warehouse entrance and exit, and the product information terminal The article identification ID attached to the product is read with the use permission of 130C (step S251), and the read article identification ID and information requesting “change of article identification ID by sale” are transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A. (Step S252).
When the article storage terminal 110A receives the “change of article identification ID by sale” billing information from the merchandise information terminal 130C, the article storage terminal 110A recognizes that the process of attaching the owner information and the ownership status code to the received article identification ID is performed at the same time. The information registration preparation (step S253) and the received employee movement stop information are deleted (step S254).
Subsequently, the purchaser causes the personal information terminal 140C to recognize the real space through the same processing as steps S120 to S124 in the first embodiment, and obtains the use permission of the product information terminal 130C to identify the product attached to the product. The ID is read (step S255), and the read article identification ID and information requesting “change of the article identification ID by purchase” are transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A (step S256).
Upon receipt of the “change of the item identification ID by purchase” billing information from the product information terminal 130C, the item storage terminal 110A identifies the corresponding “change of the item identification ID by sale” billing information based on the item identification ID, and the same It is verified that the request is for processing an article (step S257).
If the article storage terminal 110 </ b> A determines that the articles are the same article, the article storage terminal 110 </ b> A creates an article identification ID that combines the article identification ID with the received movement stop information of the purchaser and a code indicating the ownership status (step S <b> 258). The article identification ID read in step S255, the article identification ID created in step S257, the purchaser's movement stop information, the change authentication request by purchasing the article identification ID, and the information to the DB 11 to the article system server 10 An additional registration request is made (step S259). The subsequent processing is the same as steps S206 to S213 in the third embodiment.

(Modification of Fourth Embodiment Use of Induction Electronic Recording Medium)
The personal authentication terminal 120A is mainly used for employee personal authentication, and usually does not store personal information and movement information necessary for the personal authentication of the purchaser. Since the personal authentication system server 20 has an enormous number of registrations, it may take time to retrieve the purchaser's personal information and movement information and perform the authentication process.
Therefore, an inclusion called “induction electronic recording medium” is used to assist in obtaining information necessary for real authentication. “Induction electronic recording medium” refers to an electronic recording medium such as an IC chip or IC tag, and is provided in a portable information object such as an IC card or a mobile phone. Inside, a personal identification ID and a terminal identification ID such as a personal authentication terminal that manages the main unit or subunit are stored as the recording medium storage ID.
Each terminal reads the personal information for authentication and the recording medium storage ID when requesting personal authentication, and connects the main unit management terminal and the personal authentication terminal 120A, which are the main collection locations of the registrant's personal information, via the network. Connection is made, personal authentication is performed, and movement information and an article identification ID can be created.
In the present article management system, when the owner of the article is determined, a new article identification ID is created based on the movement information and status code at the time of purchase procedure or receipt of the article, and the possession status of the article is clarified.
As a result, for example, the owner is specified when the same article is mixed, when a lost item is found, when it is stolen, or when it is left without permission.

(Example of goods that store ownership information)
For example, the following items (1) to (3) are listed as the items accompanying the item identification ID and the status code.
(1) Items that require ancillary information about the owner, etc., from the article side due to legislation, social norms, the economic value of the article, and the importance of the article.
For example, automobiles, bicycles, home appliances, furniture, medicines, housing materials, large waste materials, industrial waste, pets, keys, various cards, various portable terminals, wallets, banknotes, important documents, jewelry and precious metals.
(2) Since it is frequently handled as a “lost item” in daily life, it requires an accessory of information such as the owner from the article side.
For example, umbrellas, shoes, bags.
(3) All items that the owner or other interested party wishes to receive additional information on their own will

<Fifth embodiment>
(Store ownership information in mail order)
FIG. 16 shows an example of the operation of the article management system when processing to change the owner information non-face-to-face when mailing an article with an article identification ID in the fifth embodiment of the present invention. It is the sequence chart shown.
In the fourth embodiment, both parties exist in the same space, and the article identification ID is changed using the same personal information terminal 140 and product information terminal 130.
In the case of mail-order sales, online auctions, etc., both parties do not exist in the same physical space, and the processing for changing the item identification ID also causes a time difference. In this case, the status code is interposed to ensure the continuity of the articles, and the article identification ID can be changed.

  The purchaser recognizes the real space by the same processing as steps S120 to S124 of the first embodiment by the personal information terminal 140D at hand when determining the purchased product (when determining the successful bid in the online auction), Obtaining permission to use the product information terminal 130D, order information such as the product name and quantity desired to be purchased, successful bid product information, personal information such as the address and name of the recipient, purchase price settlement information, seller information (order destination Terminal information (here, the article storage terminal 110A) is input (step S271), and the input order information is transmitted to the article storage terminal 110D (step S272). Information such as the purchaser's movement information is also transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A that is the order destination (step S273).

Upon receiving the order information from the article storage terminal 110D, the article storage terminal 110A registers the order information in its own database (step S274), and then transmits the order information and the like to the product information terminal 130A (step S275) for display. (Step S276). As a result, the seller side recognizes that there is a purchase application (step S277), and determines whether to accept the sale.
The seller uses the personal information terminal 140A on the seller side to recognize the real space through the same processing as steps S120 to S124 in the first embodiment, obtains the use permission of the product information terminal 130A, and converts it into a sale product. The attached article identification ID is read (step S278), and the article storage terminal 110A is requested to read the read article identification ID, the order information received in step S273, and the “change of the article identification ID by mail order”. (Step S279), and the terminal managing the article information of the merchandise is registered in the sale merchandise (step S280). Thereafter, the product is shipped to the purchaser.
Upon receipt of the “change of article identification ID by mail order” billing information from article information terminal 130A, article storage terminal 110A specifies data from the article identification ID list based on the simultaneously received article identification ID (step S281). In the data, the status code indicating “commodity shipping by mail order” or “commercial shipping by net auction”, the purchaser's movement information received in step S273, and the movement of the employee who performed the process of step S281. Information is added and registered (step S282). This status code is information indicating that the item information change is temporarily suspended and that the item information change is limited to the purchaser.

When the purchaser receives the product, the purchaser processes the personal information terminal 140D in the same manner as steps S120 to S124 in the first embodiment, obtains use permission of the product information terminal 130D, and identifies the product attached to the received product. The ID and the article information management terminal of the product are read as the article storage terminal 110A (step S283), and the article identification ID read and the article information management terminal of the product are the article storage terminal for the article storage terminal 110D. 110A and information requesting “change of article identification ID upon receipt of mail order merchandise” is transmitted (step S284).
Upon receiving the item identification ID change request information from the product information terminal 130D, the product storage terminal 110D sends the product storage ID 110 information to the product storage terminal 110A in the received information, and The ID change request information and the new purchaser's movement information are transmitted together (step S285).
When the article storage terminal 110A receives the article change request information in step S285 from the article storage terminal 110D, the article storage terminal 110A specifies the corresponding data from the article identification ID list in its own machine based on the article identification ID (step S286). The movement information in step S285 and the movement information in step S273 are compared to verify that they are the same person, and permission to change the item identification ID is determined (step S287).
If the article storage terminal 110A determines that they are the same person, the article storage terminal 110A creates an article identification ID that combines the article identification ID with the movement information in step S285 and the code indicating the possession status (step S288). Processing for requesting authentication and requesting additional information registration and obtaining approval is the same as steps S204 to S211 of the third embodiment.
The article storage terminal 110A stores the authentication result information, transmits the authenticated article identification ID and change permission information to the article storage terminal 110D (step S289), and the merchandise information terminal 130D performs a change registration process (steps S290 to S290). S291).

  In the present article management system, problems such as fictitious orders and spoofed listings that occur when a transaction party exists in a different space are prevented by ensuring individual existence. Also, if theft or embezzlement occurs during the transportation of goods, the unauthorized person cannot register the possession information by the status code, so that the crime deterrent effect and easy determination of illegal income items can be made.

<Sixth Embodiment>
(Disclosure range setting for product information)
FIG. 17 shows an article when a person concerned with article information sets a disclosure range of article information and personal information (hereinafter referred to as article information) for each terminal in the sixth embodiment of the present invention. It is a sequence chart which shows the operation example of a management system.

The owner uses the personal information terminal 140A at hand to recognize the real space through the same processing as steps S120 to S124 in the first embodiment, obtains the use permission of the product information terminal 130A, and attaches it to the article. The article identification ID is read, and the read article identification ID and information for requesting “disclosure range registration of article information etc.” are transmitted to the article storage terminal 110A (step S311).
Upon receiving the “disclosure range registration of article information” billing information and the like from the merchandise information terminal 130A, the article storage terminal 110A transmits the received article identification ID and the movement information received in step S124 to the article system server 10. Then, an authentication request for authenticity is made (step S312), and the authentication result information is received (step S313) after processing similar to steps S205 to S206 of the third embodiment. An article information sheet for registering conditions is created (step S314), and a registration condition input is requested to the merchandise information terminal 130A (step S315).
Upon receipt of the condition input request from the article storage terminal 110A, the merchandise information terminal 130A displays that fact (step S316), and the owner inputs the article information and the disclosure range condition in accordance with the instructions on the screen (step S317). Then, it transmits to the article storage terminal 110A (step S318).
When the article storage terminal 110A receives conditions, article information, and the like from the merchandise information terminal 130A, the contents are registered in the article information sheet (step S319), and the article information sheet is transmitted to the article system server 10 (step S320). . When the article system server 10 receives the entered article information sheet such as the disclosure condition, it registers it in its own machine (step S321), and executes the information disclosure process based on the registration condition (step S322).
Note that the registration of the disclosure conditions may be exemplified by model cases, trends, and the like according to the type of article. In order to prevent unauthorized use or leakage of information, the system may be configured such that processing such as information download, screen printing, and screen saving on the browsing side cannot be performed.
