Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a product information providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the product information providing system 100 includes a product information providing server 10, a product related information management server 20, and a consumer terminal 30.

  The product information providing server 10 and the product related information management server 20 are each connected to a communication network 40 such as the Internet. A plurality of product related information management servers may be provided.

  The product information providing server 10 and the product related information management server 20 are each configured by an information processing device such as a WWW server.

  The merchandise information providing server 10 is a headquarter server managed by a system administrator of the merchandise information providing system 100, for example, and executes various processes such as a history information providing process in the traceability system and a history management of the provided information. To do.

  The product information providing server 10 includes a product history information DB 11 that stores product history information indicating the history of each product. The product history information is information indicating the production history and distribution history of the product. For example, the product classification, the product name, the product producer / manufacturer / seller, the product seller / seller, the product production date・ Includes various information such as date of manufacture, product production location, and production location. The product history information DB 11 may be inside or outside the product information providing server 10.

  The product information providing server 10 includes a providing history information DB 12 that stores providing history information indicating a providing history of product related information to each consumer. For example, as shown in FIG. 2, the provision history information includes a provision date and time indicating the date and time when the merchandise related information is provided and a merchandise indicating the provided merchandise related information for each consumer code indicating the consumer of the provision destination of the merchandise related information. Information associated with various types of information such as related information codes. The provision history information DB 12 may be inside or outside the product information provision server 10.

  In this example, consumer information that can identify each consumer is stored in the provision history information DB 12. For example, as shown in FIG. 3, the consumer information includes various information such as a consumer code, a user ID assigned to the consumer in order to uniquely identify the consumer, a password, and card information. The card information is information necessary for the card settlement such as a credit card number, an expiration date, and a date of birth.

  The product related information management server 20 is a server device managed by, for example, a product producer, manufacturer, or sales agency, and includes a product related information DB 21 for storing product related information. The product related information is various information related to the product, and includes information such as a recipe of a menu using the product and various advertisements related to the product. The product related information DB 21 may be inside or outside the product related information management server 20.

  In this example, a product related information search table for searching for product related information is registered in the product related information DB 21. In the product related information search table, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a product related information code indicating product related information, a product code indicating the corresponding product, and a file name of a file storing the product related information are stored. Information is registered in association with each other. The product related information search table is a table used for searching for product related information to be provided from a plurality of product related information registered in advance.

  The consumer terminal 30 is configured by an information processing apparatus such as a personal computer or a portable information terminal, for example, and includes an environment including software and hardware for connecting to the communication network 40.

Next, the operation of the product information providing system 100 of this example will be described.
Here, the case where the consumer Y who purchased the product X makes a history inquiry of the product X using the consumer terminal 30 will be described as an example, and the description will be omitted except for the processing particularly related to the present invention. There may be.

  FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of product information (product history information, product related information) providing processing in the product information providing system 100 of this example. In the product information providing process, first, the consumer terminal 30 accesses the product information providing server 10 according to the operation of the consumer Y (step S101).

  In step S101, for example, it is accessed by a URL (Uniform Resource Locator) given to the store where the product X is purchased. In addition, you may make it access with URL provided to other organizations and organizations, such as the manufacturer which manufactures the goods X. FIG.

  Moreover, in this example, at the time of access in step S101, the consumer terminal 30 transmits the consumer code if a consumer code is given in advance. The consumer code is registered in the consumer terminal 30 in association with, for example, a URL used for access. At the time of access, the consumer code associated with the URL used for access is transmitted. The registration process of the consumer code to the consumer terminal 30 and the automatic transmission process of the consumer code by the consumer terminal 30 may be performed using, for example, a cookie.

  When there is an access from the consumer terminal 30, the product information providing server 10 generates a code input screen for inputting a traceability code (product code) given to the product, and transmits it to the consumer terminal 30 ( Step S102).

  The consumer terminal 30 displays the code input screen from the merchandise information providing server 10 on the display device provided therein (step S103). For example, as shown in FIG. 6, the code input screen includes a display area in which the name of the store is displayed, a code input area for inputting a traceability code, and the traceability code input in the code input area. A search button or the like that is pressed when performing a search is provided.

  When the code input screen is displayed, the consumer Y inputs the traceability code given to the product X in the code input area.

  And consumer terminal 30 will transmit the traceability code of goods X inputted by consumer Y to goods information offer server 10, if press of a search button is received (Step S104).

  When the traceability code is received, the product information providing server 10 refers to the product history information stored in the product history information DB 11 and searches the product history information of the product X using the received traceability code (step S105). . Specifically, product history information associated with a traceability code (product code) is extracted from the product history information stored in the product history information DB 11.

  In this example, in step S105, a product related information code indicating product related information that can be provided for the product X is extracted using the received traceability code. In this case, the product related information code associated with the received traceability code is extracted using the available product related information search table stored in the product history information DB 11. That is, the providable product related information search table is a table in which a traceability code is associated with a product related information code indicating product related information that can be provided for the product indicated by the traceability code.

  When searching for the product history information of the product X and searching for the product related information code about the product related information of the product X that can be provided, the product information providing server 10 browses the searched product history information and searches for the product A list of product related information of products X that can be provided indicated by the related information code is presented, a product history information browsing screen for selecting product related information desired to be browsed is generated, and transmitted to the consumer terminal 30 (step) S106).

  The consumer terminal 30 displays the merchandise history information browsing screen from the merchandise information providing server 10 on its own display device (step S107). For example, as shown in FIG. 7, the product history information browsing screen includes a display area in which product history information of the product X is displayed, a product related information selection region for selecting product related information related to the product X, and the like. It has been. That is, in this example, the product history information browsing screen is also a product related information selection screen for selecting product related information related to the product X.

  When the product history information browsing screen is displayed, the consumer Y browses the product history information displayed on the product history information browsing screen, and the product related information desired to be browsed from the list of product related information that can be viewed. Select. Here, a plurality of product related information may be selectable.

  Then, the consumer terminal 30 requests the product information providing server 10 to provide the product related information that presents the product related information code associated with the product related information selected by the consumer Y (step). S108).

  Upon receiving the request for providing the product related information, the product information providing server 10 performs a user registration process (step S109), which will be described later, and then sends a request to the product related information management server 20 from the consumer terminal 30. The included product related information code is presented and a product related information provision request is made (step S110).

  The product related information management server 20 searches for product related information using the product related information search table in response to the request for providing the product related information (step S111). Specifically, the product related information having the file name associated with the received product related information code is extracted from the product related information stored in the product related information DB 21. Thereafter, the product related information management server 20 transmits the searched product related information to the product information providing server 10 (step S112).

  Upon receiving the product related information from the product related information management server 20, the product information providing server 10 generates a product related information providing screen (step S113). Then, the product information providing server 10 transmits the generated product related information providing screen to the consumer terminal 30 (step S114). Further, the product information providing server 10 provisionally registers the product related information provided on the product related information providing screen and the provision history information including the provision date and time in a storage medium provided for the product information providing server 10 (step S115).

  The consumer terminal 30 displays the product related information providing screen from the product information providing server 10 on the display device provided therein (step S116). For example, as shown in FIG. 8, the product related information providing screen displays a display area in which product related information of the product X acquired from the product related information management server 20 is displayed, or “return” that is pressed when returning to the previous screen. ”Button, an“ end ”button that is pressed when the screen display is completed and the processing here is completed.

  The consumer Y browses the product related information of the product X requested by himself / herself on the product related information providing screen. Then, when another product related information about the product X is browsed, the “return” button is pressed, and when the process is ended, the “end” button is pressed.

  When the “return” button is pressed (Y in step S117), the consumer terminal 30 returns to step S107 and displays the merchandise history information browsing screen again. Then, each time the product related information is browsed, provision history information is provisionally registered by the product information providing server 10 in step S115.

  When the “end” button is pressed (N in step S117), the consumer terminal 30 issues a browsing end notification for instructing the merchandise information providing server 10 to complete the browsing process of the product related information (step S117). S118).

  Upon receipt of the browsing end notification, the product information providing server 10 executes a consumer code generation process (step S119) described later, and if the consumer code is generated by the consumer code generation process, the generated consumer The code is transmitted to the consumer terminal 30 (step S120).

  When the consumer terminal 30 receives the consumer code from the merchandise information providing server 10, the consumer terminal 30 registers, for example, as cookie data in a storage medium included in the consumer terminal 30 (step S121). In step S121, if there is an existing consumer code, the received consumer code is updated, and if there is no existing consumer code, the received consumer code is newly registered.

  FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an example of user registration processing (step S109) in the product information providing system 100 of this example. In the user registration process, first, when the consumer code is presented in step S101 (Y in step S201), the merchandise information providing server 10 converts the presented consumer code into consumer information (see FIG. 3). If it matches any of the consumer codes stored as), the user registration has been completed in the past, and the processing here ends.

  If the consumer code is not presented in step S101, the merchandise information providing server 10 accepts registration of user information (step S202). Note that registration of user information is also accepted when the presented consumer code does not match any of the consumer codes stored as consumer information (see FIG. 3). For example, a user information registration screen is transmitted to the consumer terminal 30, and user information input on the registration screen is received. The user information includes, for example, a user ID, a password, and card information. The user ID and password may be determined by the product information providing server 10.

  Then, the product information providing server 10 registers user information including a user ID, a password, and card information (step S203).

  FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing an example of the consumer code generation process (step S119) in the product information providing system 100 of this example. In the consumer code generation process, first, when the consumer code is presented in step S101 (Y in step S301), the merchandise information providing server 10 converts the presented consumer code into consumer information (FIG. 3), it is determined whether or not a consumer code update condition is satisfied (step S302).

  If the update condition is not satisfied (N in step S302), the merchandise information providing server 10 ends the process here. Note that the processing here is also terminated when the presented consumer code does not match any of the consumer codes stored as consumer information (see FIG. 3).

  The consumer code update condition is satisfied, for example, when a predetermined period has elapsed since the consumer code was given, or when the consumer code has been used a predetermined number of times. In this way, the consumer code can be updated as appropriate, and the safety of the system can be improved.

  On the other hand, when the consumer code is not presented in step S101 (N in step S301), or when the consumer code update condition is satisfied (Y in step S302), the product information providing server 10 In the example, a consumer code is generated using the product related information code of the provision history information provisionally registered in step S115 and the traceability code used for the search in step S105 (step S303). In this example, it is assumed that the traceability code used for the search in step S105 is stored in a predetermined storage area.

  Specifically, in step S303, for example, a part or all of the traceability code and a part or all of one or more product related information codes are combined (for example, the codes are combined side by side) or combined (for example, each The consumer code is generated by combining the components of the code by arranging them in order while replacing the code). In this case, which part of the code is used, how it is combined, and how it is combined are predetermined.

  Note that the consumer code may be generated using not only the traceability code and the product related information code but also a part or all of the user ID, password, provision date and time, and the like. In addition, a predetermined calculation may be performed when the consumer code is generated. Furthermore, in order to set the number of digits to a predetermined number or to keep it below the predetermined number, a predetermined part of the codes obtained by combination or combination may be used as a consumer code.

  Moreover, you may make it produce | generate a consumer code only with a goods related information code instead of a traceability code and a goods related information code. In this case, for example, a code obtained by processing the product related information code by a predetermined arithmetic expression may be used as the consumer code.

  Further, the consumer code may be generated not by the traceability code and the product related information code but by the history information, that is, the product related information code and the provision date and time.

  If the consumer code is generated using the traceability code and the product related information code as described above, a unique consumer code can be generated with high reliability. In particular, when the provision date and time of each product related information code is used in addition to the traceability code and the product related information code, there are infinite combinations, so a unique consumer code with higher reliability can be obtained. Can be generated.

  Then, the merchandise information providing server 10 registers the generated consumer code together with the merchandise related information code and provision date and time temporarily registered in step S115 (step S304). In step S304, the consumer code is newly registered or updated and registered in the provision history information (FIG. 2) stored in the product information provision server 10. At this time, the consumer code is also newly registered or updated and registered in the consumer information (FIG. 3) stored in the product information providing server 10.

  As described above, by registering the generated consumer code together with the product-related information code and provision date and time provisionally registered in step S115, the browsing history of the product-related information is accumulated as information for billing. .

  FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing an example of billing information aggregation processing in the product information providing system 100 of this example. The billing information totaling process is executed periodically, for example, every day, every week, every month, or in response to an instruction from the system administrator. Here, a case where the billing amount for the consumer Y is calculated will be described as an example.

  In the billing information totaling process, first, the product information providing server 10 is browsed by the consumer Y (that is, the consumer terminal 30) within a predetermined period (for example, a predetermined one month when charging every month). The product related information code indicating the product related information is extracted from the provided history information (step S401).

  Next, the merchandise information providing server 10 refers to a billing amount table (a table on which a billing amount for each product related information (amount charged as a consideration for viewing) is posted), and the consumer Y browses during a predetermined period. A billing list in which the product related information is associated with the billing amount is generated (step S402).

  Then, the merchandise information providing server 10 refers to the generated billing list and calculates the sum of the billing amount charged to the consumer Y as consideration for browsing the merchandise related information during a predetermined period (step S403). The calculated billing amount is settled, for example, with a consumer Y credit card registered as user information.

  As described above, in the above-described embodiment, in response to a history information acquisition request from the consumer terminal 30 that presented the traceability code attached to the product, the history information of the product using the traceability code. The product related information that can be provided related to the product indicated by the traceability code presented in the history information acquisition request is presented, and an acquisition request for any of the presented product related information is received from the consumer terminal 30 Sometimes, if a consumer code that can identify the consumer terminal 30 is presented from the consumer terminal 30, product related information is provided to the consumer terminal 30, and the consumer code is presented from the consumer terminal 30. Otherwise, product-related information is provided to the consumer terminal 30 after a predetermined user registration, and provided if the consumer code is not presented from the consumer terminal 30 A consumer code is generated and registered using a merchandise related information code indicating the merchandise related information, and the merchandise related information code of the merchandise related information provided to the consumer terminal 30 is associated with the registered consumer code. And store the generated consumer code to the consumer terminal to calculate the consideration for browsing the product related information without increasing the processing burden on the consumer using the traceability system The product related information code indicating the provided product related information can be easily stored, and the provision contents of the product related information related to the product can be managed.

  In other words, in the above-described embodiment, the consumer code generated using the product-related information code or the like is given to the consumer terminal 30 as an authentication key for the next and subsequent accesses. Since authentication is performed using the presented consumer code and the provision history of product related information is managed in association with the consumer code, the product related information can be stored without increasing the processing burden on the consumer. You can manage the content provided.

  In addition, as described above, the consumer terminal 30 is configured to automatically transmit the consumer code assigned to itself when accessing the product information providing server 10, so the traceability system is used. Can further reduce the processing burden on consumers.

  In the above-described embodiment, the consumer code generated in step S303 is used. However, the consumer code generated in step S303 only when it is confirmed whether the code is unique. May be used.

  FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating another example of the consumer code generation process. In the consumer code generation process here, the merchandise information providing server 10 determines whether the consumer code generated in step S303 matches any of the existing consumer codes (step S305). If so, the process returns to step S303. Specifically, it is determined whether or not the consumer code generated in step S303 matches any of the consumer codes stored as consumer information (see FIG. 3). Returns to step S303 to generate another consumer code again. However, when generating again, it produces | generates by another production | generation method.

  Instead of returning to step S303, a separate code may be generated by applying predetermined processing (for example, partial or whole inversion, shift, etc.) to the consumer code generated in step S303. .

  As described above, the consumer code is generated until the unique consumer code is obtained. When it is confirmed that the unique code is obtained, the process proceeds to step S304. If comprised in this way, a unique consumer code can be produced | generated reliably.

  In the embodiment described above, as the product related information, the menu recipe using the corresponding product, the advertisement of the product used together with the corresponding product, and the like have been exemplified. It may be link information to a posted web page and browsing log (screen transition information).

  In the above-described embodiment, the consumer code is transmitted by the consumer terminal 30 in step S101. However, the consumer code may be transmitted in step S108. In addition, as long as it is before step S108, it may be transmitted at any timing.

  In the above-described embodiment, the consumer terminal 30 automatically transmits the consumer code. However, the consumer's operation for transmitting the consumer code (input of the consumer code, consumer code) The consumer code may be transmitted in response to the extraction, transmission instruction, etc.).

  Also. In the embodiment described above, the product information providing server 10 and the product related information management server 20 are separate servers. However, the product information providing server 10 and the product related information management server 20 are configured by one server device. It may be.
