The information processing system S includes an information processing device 1, an SNS server 2, a farmer terminal 3, and a consumer terminal 4. The information processing device 1, the SNS server 2, the farmer terminal 3, and the consumer terminal 4 can communicate with each other through an external network N such as the Internet. The information processing device 1 is, for example, a server computer, and is owned by a business operator (administrator) that manages information about farmers. The SNS server 2 is a server computer that manages information about SNS (Social Networking Service), stores information about various accounts and information about posts, and outputs the stored contents by listing them on a page. The farmer terminal 3 is a terminal owned by a farmer who produces crops, and holds a farmer account on the SNS. The consumer terminal is a terminal owned by a consumer who purchases crops, and holds a consumer account on the SNS. The farmer terminal 3 and the consumer terminal 4 are, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, or a personal computer.

[0012] The information processing device 1 issues a two-dimensional barcode indicating the farmer account of the farmer producing the crop. The farmer attaches the two-dimensional barcode to the crop he produces and sells it. After purchasing the crop, a consumer can make a post indicating an evaluation of the farmer account through the consumer account on the SNS by reading the two-dimensional barcode with a consumer terminal. The information processing device 1 obtains information (posting information) regarding the posts indicating the evaluation of the farmer account by the consumer account from the SNS server 2, and creates a ranking of the evaluations of the farmer account for each crop. The information processing device 1 outputs the created ranking to the SNS server 2 through a management account stored in the information processing device 1. The SNS server 2 outputs a page on which the rankings are posted to the consumer terminal 4 in response to a request from the consumer terminal 4.

[0013] The farmer terminal 3 transmits production information of crops produced by the farmer and facility information of the farmer to the information processing device 1. The information processing device 1 stores the production information and facility information acquired from the farmer terminal 3, and outputs the stored production information and facility information related to the multiple farms to the SNS server 2. The SNS server 2 outputs the production information and facility information related to the multiple farms acquired from the information processing device 1 to the consumer terminal 4.

[0014] In addition, the farmer terminal 3 transmits posts including production information of the crops produced by the farmer and facility information of the farmer to the SNS server 2.

FIG. 10A is a page on which a list of farmer's production information and facility information is posted. The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 reads out the production information and facility information of each farmer from the memory unit 12, and transmits the read out production information and facility information to the SNS server 2 to complete the posting displaying the farmer's production information and facility information. For example, when a request for information related to the posting displaying the farmer's production information and facility information is received from the consumer terminal 4, the SNS server 2 transmits the posting displaying the farmer's production information and facility information to the consumer terminal 4.

[0044] FIG. 10B is an explanatory diagram showing an example of an evaluation ranking page. The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 acquires posts indicating evaluations of farmer accounts by consumer accounts from the SNS server 2. The control unit 11 judges whether each post is a post with positive content or a post with negative content by inputting the posts into a learning model that executes natural language processing such as Transformer, BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) or GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer). The control unit 11 stores information related to the posts acquired from the SNS server 2 in the farmer evaluation table 123. The control unit 11 counts the number of posts with positive content to the farmer account in a predetermined period (for example, one month) for each crop. The control unit 11 regards the counted number of posts with positive content as the number of evaluations for the farmer account for the crop, and creates a ranking based on the number of evaluations for the farmer account for each crop. The ranking may be created based on the number of evaluations adjusted by a coefficient based on the number of followers of the farmer account or the number of posts by the farmer account. The control unit 11 transmits the created ranking to the SNS server 2 and completes the post displaying the ranking. For example, when a request for information related to the post displaying the ranking is received from the consumer terminal 4, the SNS server 2 transmits the post displaying the ranking from the consumer terminal 4. A command to display production information and facility information is displayed in the post displaying the ranking displayed on the display unit 44 of the consumer terminal 4. That is, the production information and facility information are output in association with the ranking.

[0045] FIG. 11 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a page related to a farmer account. The page related to the farmer account describes production information and facility information for each crop, and is displayed, for example, on the display unit 44 of the consumer terminal 4. When a command to display the production information and facility information is selected on the evaluation ranking page related to the managed account on the consumer terminal 4, the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 requests the page related to the farmer account from the SNS server 2. The SNS server 2 transmits the page related to the farmer account including the production information and facility information to the consumer terminal 4. When the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 receives the page related to the farmer account from the SNS server 2, it causes the display unit 44 to display the page related to the farmer account including the production information and facility information.

[0046] FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of a recording process of production information and facility information.

The farmer terminal control unit 31 also acquires information on the field and equipment from the management device of the agricultural facility F (S2). The farmer terminal control unit 31 causes the input unit 35 to accept input of information on the taste of crops and the farmer account (S3). The farmer terminal control unit 31 transmits (outputs) production information including fertilization, yield, and taste of crops, facility information including the farmer's field, equipment, and agricultural machine M, and the farmer account to the information processing device 1 (S4). The farmer terminal control unit 31 also transmits the acquired or input production information and facility information to the SNS server 2 by the farmer account (S5), and ends the process.

[0047] The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 receives (acquires) the farmer's production information, facility information, and farmer account from the farmer terminal 3 (S6). The control unit 11 stores the acquired production information in the production information table 122 (S7). The control unit 11 also stores the acquired facility information and farmer account in the farmer information table 121 (S8). The control unit 11 issues a two-dimensional barcode corresponding to the crop produced by the farmer (S9), stores the issued two-dimensional barcode in the production information table 122 (S10), and ends the process.

[0048] FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of the ranking creation process. The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 reads the two-dimensional barcode by having the photographing unit 46 photograph the two-dimensional barcode attached to the crop (S21). The consumer terminal control unit 41 displays the farmer account main page on the display unit 44 based on the read two-dimensional barcode (S22). The consumer terminal control unit 41 displays the posting screen on the display unit 44 by accepting the selection of a command to instruct the display of a posting input screen (S23). The consumer terminal control unit 41 causes the input unit 45 to accept the input of a posting indicating an evaluation (S24). The consumer terminal control unit 41 transmits the posting indicating an evaluation to the SNS server 2 (S25) and ends the process. The SNS server 2 receives the posting indicating an evaluation from the consumer terminal control unit 41 (S26), and stores the received posting and the date and time of receiving the posting (posting date and time) (S27). The SNS server 2 transmits the stored posting and posting date and time to the information processing device 1 (S28).

[0049] The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 receives the post indicating the evaluation and the posting date and time from the SNS server 2 (S29), and stores the received post and the posting date and time in the farmer evaluation table 123 (S30). The control unit 11 judges whether the post stored in the farmer evaluation table 123 has a positive content or a negative content (S31). The control unit 11 stores the judgment result in S31 in the evaluation field of the farmer evaluation table 123 (S32). The control unit 11 counts the number of posts with positive content (number of evaluations) for each crop and farmer based on the farmer evaluation table 123 (S33). In addition, in S33, the control unit 11 counts the number of evaluations for a predetermined period (for example, one month) in the farmer evaluation table 123 based on the posting date and time field. The control unit 11 creates a ranking of farmer accounts for each crop in descending order of the number of evaluations that has been counted (S34). The control unit 11 transmits the created ranking to the SNS server 2 by the management account (S35), and ends the process. The SNS server 2 receives the ranking from the information processing device 1 (S36). The SNS server 2 stores the received ranking (S37) and ends the process.

[0050] FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing an example of a display process of ranking, production information, and facility information. The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 transmits information requesting a page (rating ranking page) on which rankings related to the managed account are posted to the SNS server 2 (S41). The SNS server 2 receives information requesting the rating ranking page related to the managed account from the consumer terminal 4 (S42). The SNS server 2 transmits the rating ranking page related to the managed account to the consumer terminal 4 (S43).

The consumer terminal control unit 41 causes the input unit 45 to accept the input of a posting indicating an evaluation (S74). The consumer terminal control unit 41 transmits the posting indicating an evaluation to the SNS server 2 (S75) and ends the process. The SNS server 2 receives the posting indicating an evaluation from the consumer terminal control unit 41 (S76), and stores the received posting and the date and time of receiving the posting (posting date and time) (S77). The SNS server 2 transmits the stored posting and posting date and time to the information processing device 1 (S78).

[0076] The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 receives the post indicating the evaluation and the posting date and time from the SNS server 2 (S79), and stores the received post and the posting date and time in the store evaluation table 126 (S80). The control unit 11 judges whether the post stored in the store evaluation table 126 has positive or negative content (S81). The control unit 11 stores the judgment result in S81 in the evaluation field of the store evaluation table 126 (S82). The control unit 11 identifies the crops that are cooked and included in the dish whose evaluation is stored in the store evaluation table 126 based on the cooked crop table 125 and the farmer account of the farmer that produces the crops (S83). The control unit 11 stores the evaluation of the store account based on the store evaluation table 126 as an evaluation of the farmer account of the farmer that produces the crops that are included in the dish (cooked and provided) provided by the store to the consumer in the farmer evaluation table 123 (S84). The control unit 11 counts the number of positive posts (number of ratings) for each crop and farmer based on the farmer evaluation table 123 (S85). In S85, the control unit 11 counts the number of ratings for a predetermined period (e.g., one month) based on the posting date and time field in the farmer evaluation table 123. The control unit 11 creates a ranking of farmer accounts for each crop in descending order of the counted number of ratings (S86). The control unit 11 transmits the created ranking to the SNS server 2 by the management account (S87) and ends the process. The SNS server 2 receives the ranking from the information processing device 1 (S88). The SNS server 2 stores the received ranking (S89) and ends the process.

[0077] The display process of rankings, production information, and facility information in the second embodiment is the same as that in the first embodiment (see Figs. 10 and 14). According to this embodiment, when a consumer account posts an evaluation of a store account, it is possible to create a ranking of the farmer accounts by regarding the evaluation as being for the farmer who produces the crops that are cooked and included in the dishes provided by the store. Note that in this embodiment, the store is a restaurant that cooks crops and provides them to consumers, but is not limited to this. The store may be, for example, a supermarket, a direct sales store, a retail store, or a market.

[0078] (Embodiment 3) Hereinafter, the present invention according to embodiment 3 will be described with respect to the differences from embodiment 1. Therefore, among the configurations according to embodiment 3, the same configurations as those in embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

[0079] The information processing device 1 according to the third embodiment stores farmer accounts in association with location information of the farmer's fields. The information processing device 1 outputs the location information of the farmer's fields on a map stored in a map server.

[0081] FIG. 26 is an explanatory diagram showing an example of a map page. The map page is displayed on the display unit 44 of the consumer terminal 4, for example. The location of the field and the farmer account, which are read from the farmer information table 121 stored in the information processing device 1 and output to the map server, are output in association with each other on the displayed map. FIG. 26A is a map page showing a list of farms on a map. On the map, field marks showing the location of the field of each farmer are displayed. A number is assigned to each field mark, and the farmer name corresponding to each number is displayed in a list format at the bottom of the map. In addition, an icon of the crop produced by each farmer is displayed near the field mark. Note that the display method, such as the color or size of the field mark, may be changed based on the ranking in which the farmer account of the farmer is posted on the SNS. In this case, the control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 stores the created ranking, identifies the ranking in which the farmer account is posted from the stored ranking, and transmits information related to the page in the SNS in which the identified ranking is posted to the map server 6.

[0082] FIG. 26B is a page on which detailed information related to the farmer is posted. When any of the farmer names included in the mark or list is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 26A, the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 displays the location of the field of the selected farmer, a command to instruct access to a page related to the farmer account of the selected farmer (view SNS page), and a command to instruct access to a page related to the management account in which rankings including crops produced by the selected farmer are posted (view rankings). When the command to instruct access to the page related to the farmer account is selected, the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 requests information on the page related to the farmer account from the SNS server 2. The SNS server 2 transmits the page related to the farmer account in the SNS to the consumer terminal 4. When the command to instruct access to the page related to the management account in which rankings are posted is selected, the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 requests the page related to the management account in which rankings are posted from the SNS server 2.

The map server 6 receives the farmer's location information and farmer's account (S93). The map server 6 outputs the location information and farmer's account on a map in association with each other (S94).

[0084] The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 transmits information requesting a map page to the map server 6 (S95). The map server 6 receives information requesting a map page from the consumer terminal 4 (S96). The map server 6 transmits information of a map page including a map output in association with the location information of the farmer's field and the farmer's account to the consumer terminal 4 (S97), and ends the process. The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 receives information of the map page from the map server 6 (S98). The consumer terminal control unit 41 causes the display unit 44 to display the map page (S99), and ends the process.

[0085] FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing an example of a display process of rankings, production information, and facility information according to the third embodiment. The consumer terminal control unit 41 judges whether or not an instruction to access a page related to a farmer account on which production information and facility information are posted, or an instruction to access a page related to a management account on which rankings are posted, has been input in the input unit 35 (S101). If neither instruction has been input (S101: NO), the consumer terminal control unit 41 returns the process to S101 and waits until any instruction is input. If either instruction has been input (S101: YES), the consumer terminal control unit 41 judges whether or not the input instruction is an instruction to access a page related to a farmer account (S102). If the input instruction is an instruction to access a page related to a farmer account (S102: YES), the consumer terminal control unit 41 transmits information requesting a page related to a farmer account to the SNS server 2 (S103). The SNS server 2 receives information requesting a page related to a farmer account from the consumer terminal 4 (S104). The SNS server 2 transmits a page related to the farmer's account on which the production information and facility information are posted to the consumer terminal 4 (S105). The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 receives the page related to the farmer's account from the SNS server 2 (S106). The consumer terminal control unit 41 causes the display unit 44 to display the page related to the farmer's account on which the production information and facility information are posted (S107), and ends the process.

[0086] If the input instruction is not an instruction to access a page related to the farmer's account (S102: NO), i.e., if it is an instruction to access a page related to the management account, the consumer terminal control unit 41 transmits information requesting a page related to the management account to the SNS server 2 (S108). The SNS server 2 receives information requesting a page related to the management account from the consumer terminal 4 (S109). The SNS server 2 transmits a page related to the farmer's account on which the ranking is posted to the consumer terminal 4 (S110), and ends the process. The consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 receives the page related to the management account from the SNS server 2 (S111). The consumer terminal control unit 41 causes the display unit 44 to display the page related to the farmer's account on which the ranking is posted (S112), and ends the process.

[0087] According to this embodiment, consumers can view information about farmers or crops based on the location information of the farm fields. In this embodiment, the location information of the farm fields is output on a map, but the location information of a store that sells the crops produced by the farmer or a store that cooks and serves the crops may also be output on the map.

[0088] (Modification) In each of the above-described embodiments, the farmer's production information and facility information are posted on a page related to the farmer's account on the SNS, but this is not limited to this. The farmer's production information or facility information may be posted on a page of a website managed by the information processing device 1. In this case, when an instruction to display the production information and facility information is input, the consumer terminal 4 of the consumer terminal 4 transmits information to the information processing device 1 requesting a page on the website on which the farmer's production information or facility information is posted.

[0089] In each of the above-described embodiments, the ranking of reviews is posted on a page related to a management account in the SNS, but is not limited to this. The ranking of reviews may be posted on a page of a website managed by the information processing device 1. In this case, when an instruction to display the ranking of reviews is input to the consumer terminal 4, the consumer terminal 4 transmits information to the information processing device 1 requesting a page on which the ranking of reviews of the website is posted.

[0090] In each of the above-mentioned embodiments, the number of evaluations is the number of posts with positive content on the farmer account or the store account on the SNS, but is not limited thereto. The control unit 11 of the information processing device 1 may extract positive words from the posts indicating evaluations acquired from the SNS server 2, and calculate the evaluation value of each post based on the number of extracted words. In this case, the ranking of the evaluations is created based on the total evaluation value of multiple posts indicating evaluations on the farmer account or the store account. In addition, the control unit 11 may input the posts acquired from the SNS server 2 into a learning model that executes natural language processing such as Transformer or GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer), and output the evaluation value of the post. Alternatively, the consumer terminal control unit 41 of the consumer terminal 4 may display a post input screen including an evaluation value field for inputting an evaluation value on a five-level scale on the display unit 44, and may cause the input unit 45 to accept the input of the evaluation value.
