[0012] (First embodiment) A first embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a system configuration diagram showing an example of the configuration of a collection determination system SYS according to the first embodiment of the present invention. The recycling determination system SYS of the present invention includes a recycling determination device 100 and a user terminal device 200. The collection determination device 100 and the user terminal device 200 are connected via a network so as to be able to communicate with each other.

[0013] The recycling determination system SYS is a system that stores information regarding items to be recycled, acquires images of the items to be recycled that represent images of the items to be recycled, and determines whether the items are items to be recycled based on the information regarding the items to be recycled and the images of the items to be recycled.

[0014] The collected items are products that are subject to recycling, reuse, recall, voluntary recall, collection of used items, etc. In this embodiment, an example in which the collected items are cosmetics will be described. The collected items may be any products, such as automobiles, electrical appliances, stationery, furniture, consumables, and food.

[0015] The information on recalled products is information that identifies the recalled products, and is information in which the JAN code, product name, model number, color, manufacturer name, product image, information on whether the product is recalled, etc. are associated with each product. The information on recalled products may be a stock keeping unit (SKU) that subdivides the product by size, design, color, etc., the condition of the recalled products such as the presence and degree of dirt or damage, information on the remaining contents of the recalled products, etc. The information on recalled products may also include information used for sorting, such as a sorting method for the recalled products.

[0016] The product images include at least one of images of the product in an unused state, images of the product in use (also referred to as a state where use has been discontinued or a state where it has been partially used), and images of the product in a used state. The product images may include images that include part or all of the product, images of the product taken from different angles, images of the product depending on the state of the product, such as the presence or absence and degree of dirt or damage, images of the product including remaining contents, etc.

[0017] A recalled product is a product that is to be recalled, i.e., a product that is in the possession of a user and is to be recalled. In other words, a recalled product is a product that may be recalled, i.e., a product that is in the possession of a user and is to be determined as to whether it is a recalled product.

[0018] The collected item image is an image of the collected item photographed (scanned) by the user. The collected item image may be a still image or a moving image.

[0019] The user terminal device 200 is a terminal device such as a smartphone or a tablet terminal. The user terminal device 200 starts an application or connects to a website by reading a two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) attached to a collection kit KIT distributed or purchased by a user. The user terminal device 200 also takes an image of the collection item, and if the collection item corresponds to a collection target item, inputs additional information and a questionnaire. The additional information is the user's gender, date of birth, email address, etc. The additional information may be the user's age, address, name, telephone number, identification document, etc.

[0020] The collection determination device 100 accepts a collection request for a collection item when the two-dimensional code is read by the user terminal device 200. Specifically, the collection determination device 100 acquires an image of a collection item from the user terminal device 200. The collection determination device 100 refers to information on collection items stored in the device itself, and determines whether or not the collection item in the collection item image is a collection item. If the collection item is a collection item, the collection determination device 100 accepts a collection request for the collection item by having the user input additional information.

[0021] In this way, the recycling determination system SYS can efficiently collect recycling items. Also, it can determine whether or not a recycling item is a recycling item before it is collected. Even if a JAN code or the like is not attached to a recycling item, it can determine whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item, thereby improving user convenience.

[0022] In addition, the recycling determination system SYS stores information regarding items to be recycled including whether or not they are eligible for recycling, acquires images of the items to be recycled that represent an image of the items to be recycled, determines whether or not the items to be recycled are eligible for recycling based on the information regarding the items to be recycled and the images of the items to be recycled, accepts a request for recycling of the items to be recycled if the items to be recycled are eligible for recycling, and does not accept a request for recycling of the items to be recycled if the items to be recycled are not eligible for recycling, and stores the images of the items to be recycled and information regarding the items to be recycled in a memory unit in association with each other.

[0023] By doing this, even if the collected item is not subject to collection, the usage status of the collected item can be understood from the collected item image, which can be used for marketing purposes by the manufacturer that produced the collected item, for example.

[0024] Next, the configuration of the collection determination device 100 will be described.

[0025] FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the collection determination device 100 according to this embodiment. The collection determination device 100 includes a communication unit 11, a storage unit 12, an input unit 13, an output unit 14, and a control unit 15. The communication unit 11 has a function of communicating with the user terminal device 200 via wired or wireless communication. The communication unit 11 outputs various information received from the user terminal device 200 to the control unit 15. In addition, the communication unit 11 transmits various information output from the control unit 15 to the user terminal device 200.

[0026] The memory unit 12 is configured with a storage medium, for example, a hard disk drive (HDD), a flash memory, an electrically erasable programmable read only memory (EEPROM), a random access read / write memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), or any combination of these storage media. The storage unit 12 may be, for example, a non-volatile memory.

[0027] The storage unit 12 stores various data. For example, the storage unit 12 stores collection target product data 121, collection request data 122, questionnaire data 123, and a learning model 124.

[0028] The withdrawal item data 121 is information relating to withdrawal items.

[0029] The collection request data 122 is collection request information. The collection request information includes collection item images, accompanying information, a collection list, and determination information. The determination information is information in which collection item images, collection item candidates, flags, and selection results are associated with each other. The collection list, collection item candidates, flags, and selection results will be described later.

[0030] The questionnaire data is for each recalled product. The questionnaire data includes information such as the connection destination of the questionnaire answering site, questionnaire items, etc. The questionnaire data may be for each classification such as the type or manufacturer of the recalled product.

[0031] The learning model 124 is a learning model that is generated by learning the correspondence between an image of a product and information indicating whether the product is a recalled product. When an image of a recalled product is input, the learning model 124 outputs information indicating whether the product is a recalled product.

[0032] The input unit 13 is an input device such as a mouse or a keyboard connected to the collection determination device 100. The input unit 13 accepts an operation input input from the outside. The input unit 13 outputs an operation signal to the control unit 15 according to the operation input.

[0033] The output unit 14 is an output device such as a display device, etc. The output unit 14 outputs the presentation information output from the control unit 15 to the output device or another device such as the user terminal device 200.

[0034] The control unit 15 has a function of controlling each unit of the collection determination device 100 . The control unit 15 includes a collection request acquisition unit 151 , a target product determination unit 152 , a questionnaire presentation unit 153 , and a learning unit 154 .

[0035] When the two-dimensional code is read by the user terminal device 200, the collection request acquisition unit 151 accepts a connection to its own device by performing user authentication such as logging in or, if not registered, registering an account.

[0036] The target item determination unit 152 determines whether or not a collection item is a collection target. The target product determining unit 152 will be described more specifically. The target product determining unit 152 includes an image acquiring unit 1521 , a candidate extracting unit 1522 , a candidate presenting unit 1523 , and a collection receiving unit 1524 .

[0037] The image acquiring unit 1521 acquires collected item images from the user terminal device 200. The image acquiring unit 1521 outputs the acquired collected item images to the candidate extracting unit 1522.

[0038] When a collection item image is input, the candidate extraction unit 1522 judges whether the collection item image is appropriate. Specifically, the candidate extraction unit 1522 judges whether the collection item image is appropriate based on whether the collection item image is of a quality equal to or higher than a predetermined condition. The predetermined condition is a condition for judging whether the collection item image can be used to judge whether the collection item image is a collection item, such as the resolution and image quality of the collection item image. If the collection item image does not meet the predetermined condition, the candidate extraction unit 1522 causes the image acquisition unit 1521 to reacquire the collection item. On the other hand, if the collection item image meets or exceeds the predetermined condition, the candidate extraction unit 1522 uses the collection item image to extract a collection item candidate corresponding to the collection item. Specifically, the candidate extraction unit 1522 inputs the collection item image to the learning model 124 stored in the storage unit 12 to extract one or more collection item candidates corresponding to the collection item. The candidate extraction unit 1522 outputs information on the extracted one or more collection item candidates to the candidate presentation unit 1523. On the other hand, when the candidate extraction unit 1522 cannot extract one or more candidates for collection items corresponding to the collection item, it acquires information on the collection item from the collection item data stored in the storage unit 12 and outputs the information to the candidate presentation unit 1523. The information on the collection item is, for example, information such as the product name, manufacturer name, color, and model number of the collection item.

[0039] When the candidate presentation unit 1523 receives information on one or more candidates for collection items from the candidate extraction unit 1522, the candidate presentation unit 1523 generates a presentation image that presents one or more product images included in the information on the one or more candidates for collection items in order of highest degree of match, and outputs the generated image to the user terminal device 200. When the candidate presentation unit 1523 receives information on a collection item from the candidate extraction unit 1522, the candidate presentation unit 1523 generates a presentation image that prompts the user to reacquire a collection item image or to select which collection item is to be collected from the information on the collection item, and outputs the generated image to the user terminal device 200. The candidate presentation unit 1523 obtains from the user terminal device 200 the result of the user's selection for the presentation image that prompts the user to select which collection item is to be collected from the information on the collection item. The candidate presentation unit 1523 outputs the selection result to the collection reception unit 1524.

[0040] The collection acceptance unit 1524 generates a collection list in which collection item images are associated with collection item data of the selected collection item candidate based on the selection of one or more collection item candidates corresponding to the collection item as the collection item, and stores the collection list as collection request data in the storage unit 12. In addition, the collection acceptance unit 1524 acquires incidental information from the user terminal device 200, associates the incidental information with the collection list, and stores the collection list as collection request data in the storage unit 12.

[0041] The collection reception unit 1524 presents one or more candidate items for collection, and based on the user's re-acquisition of the collection item image, associates the collection item image before re-acquisition with information on one or more candidate items for collection, and a re-acquisition flag, and stores them in the memory unit 12 as collection request data.

[0042] The collection acceptance unit 1524 presents one or more candidates for collection items, and based on the user's selection of which item is the collection item from the information of the collection item, associates a collection item image, a selection result, and a no candidate flag, and stores them as collection request data in the storage unit 12, generates a collection list that associates the collection item image with the selection result, and stores it as collection request data in the storage unit 12. The collection acceptance unit 1524 also acquires incidental information from the user terminal device 200, associates the incidental information with the collection list, and stores it as collection request data in the storage unit 12.

[0043] When a collection item image is determined to be inappropriate a predetermined number of times, for example, multiple times, for example, three or more times, and the user selects which collection item is the collection item from the information of the collection item, the collection acceptance unit 1524 associates the latest inappropriate collection item image with the selection result and an inappropriate collection item image flag, and stores them as collection request data in the storage unit 12, generates a collection list in which the latest inappropriate collection item image is associated with the selection result, and stores them as collection request data in the storage unit 12. The collection acceptance unit 1524 also acquires incidental information from the user terminal device 200, associates the incidental information with the collection list, and stores them as collection request data in the storage unit 12.

[0044] If the collection reception unit 1524 determines that the collection item image is not a collection item, it does not accept the collection request and stores information indicating that the item is not a collection item, the collection item image, and information regarding the collection item in association with each other as collection request data in the memory unit 12.

[0045] The questionnaire presentation unit 153 reads out the questionnaire data from the storage unit 12 based on the fact that the target product determination unit 152 has accepted the collection request, i.e., based on the fact that the collection list has been generated and the accompanying information has been acquired, and generates a presentation image for encouraging the user to answer the questionnaire. The questionnaire presentation unit 153 causes the user terminal device 200 to output the generated presentation image.

[0046] The learning unit 154 generates a learning model by learning the correspondence between the product image and the information indicating whether the product is a recalled product, using the product image and the information indicating whether the product is a recalled product as a data set. The learning unit 154 stores the generated learning model in the storage unit 12. Here, when a recalled product image is input, the learning model generated by the learning unit 154 outputs information indicating whether the product is a recalled product. In addition, the learning unit 154 reinforces learning of the learning model 124 stored in the memory unit 12 based on collection request data in which the latest inappropriate collection item image stored in the memory unit 12 is associated with a selection result and an inappropriate collection item image flag, collection request data in which the collection item image is associated with a selection result and a no candidate flag, and collection request data in which the collection item image before re-acquisition is associated with information on one or more candidate collection items and a re-acquisition flag.

[0047] Next, the collection request process in the user terminal device 200 will be described.

[0048] FIG. 3 is a flowchart showing an example of a collection request process in the user terminal device 200 according to this embodiment. In step S101, the user terminal device 200 acquires a two-dimensional code by having the user read the two-dimensional code attached to the collection kit when the user receives the collection kit. After that, the user terminal device 200 executes the process of step S102.

[0049] In step S102, the user terminal device 200 starts a web application based on the two-dimensional code. After that, the user terminal device 200 executes the process of step S103.

[0050] In step S103, the user terminal device 200 connects to the collection determination device 100 and performs user authentication by having the user create an account or log in. After that, the user terminal device 200 executes the process of step S104.

[0051] In step S104, the user terminal device 200 prompts the user to make a collection request for the collection item. After that, the user terminal device 200 executes the process of step S105.

[0052] In step S105, the user terminal device 200, based on the completion of the collection request for the collection item, for example, places the collection item in the collection kit and causes the collection kit (collection item) to be shipped to the user. After that, the user terminal device 200 ends the collection request process in FIG. 3. In addition, the user may send the collected items without using the collection kit distributed to or purchased by the user, and may use any means by which collected items can be sent, such as mail, courier service, etc.

[0053] Next, the collection determination process in the collection determination device 100 will be described.

[0054] FIG. 4 is a flowchart showing an example of the collection determination process in the collection determination device 100 according to this embodiment. In step S201, the collection determination device 100 acquires a collection item image from the user terminal device 200. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S202.

[0055] In step S202, the collection determination device 100 determines whether the collected product image is appropriate. Specifically, the collection determination device 100 determines whether the collected product image is of a quality equal to or higher than a predetermined condition. If the collected product image is equal to or higher than the predetermined condition (step S202 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S203. On the other hand, if the collected product image is of a quality lower than the predetermined condition (step S202 NO), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S213.

[0056] In step S203, the collection determination device 100 extracts one or more candidates for collection items corresponding to the collection item image. The collection determination device 100 causes the user terminal device 200 to present to the user the one or more candidates for collection items corresponding to the extracted collection item image.

[0057] In step S204, the collection determination device 100 determines whether or not the user's selection result for one or more collection target item candidates corresponding to the collection product image has been acquired from the user terminal device 200. When the user's selection result for one or more collection target item candidates corresponding to the collection product image has been acquired from the user terminal device 200, that is, when a collection target item candidate has been selected (step S204 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S205. On the other hand, when the user's selection result for one or more collection target item candidates corresponding to the collection product image has not been acquired from the user terminal device 200, that is, when a collection target item candidate has not been selected (step S204 NO), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S208.

[0058] In step S205, the collection determination device 100 generates a collection list in which the collection product image and the user's selection result for one or more collection target product candidates corresponding to the collection product image are associated with each other. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S206.

[0059] In step S206, the collection determination device 100 acquires the additional information from the user terminal device 200. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S207.

[0060] In step S207, the recycling determination device 100 completes the receipt of the recycling request, and ends the recycling determination process in FIG.

[0061] In step S208, the collection determination device 100 accepts a selection according to a user operation as to whether or not to reacquire a collection item image. If the user selects to reacquire a collection item image (step S208 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S209. On the other hand, if the user does not select to reacquire a collection item image (step S208 NO), or if the user selects which item is a collection item from the information of the collection item, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S210.

[0062] In step S209, the collection determination device 100 stores the collection item image, one or more collection item candidates corresponding to the collection item image, and the reacquisition flag in the storage unit 12. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S201.

[0063] In step S210, the recycling determination device 100 generates a presentation image for selecting, for example, in a pull-down format, which of the recycling items is the recycling item from the information of the recycling item, and allows the user to select it via the user terminal device 200. After that, the recycling determination device 100 executes the process of step S211.

[0064] In step S211, the collection determination device 100 determines whether or not a selection result indicating that the user has selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item has been acquired. If the user has selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item (step S211 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S212. On the other hand, if the user has not selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item (step S211 NO), the collection determination device 100 ends the collection determination process in FIG. 4.

[0065] In step S212, the collection determination device 100 stores the collection product image, a selection result indicating which of the collection products is selected by the user from the information of the collection target products, and a no candidate flag in the storage unit 12. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S205.

[0066] In step S213, the collection determination device 100 determines whether the number of times the collection item image is determined to be inappropriate is three or more. If the number of times the collection item image is determined to be inappropriate is three or more (step S213 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S214. On the other hand, if the number of times the collection item image is determined to be inappropriate is less than three (step S213 NO), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S201.

[0067] In step S214, the recycling determination device 100 generates a presentation image for selecting, for example, in a pull-down format, which of the items is the recycling item from the information of the recycling target item, and has the user select it via the user terminal device 200. Thereafter, the recycling determination device 100 executes the process of step S215.

[0068] In step S215, the collection determination device 100 determines whether or not a selection result indicating that the user has selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item has been acquired. If the user has selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item (step S215 YES), the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S216. On the other hand, if the user has not selected which of the collection items is the collection item from the information of the collection item (step S215 NO), the collection determination device 100 ends the collection determination process in FIG. 4.

[0069] In step S216, the collection determination device 100 stores the latest inappropriate (inappropriate) collection product image, a selection result indicating which collection product is selected by the user from the information of the collection target product, and an inappropriate (inappropriate) collection product image flag in the storage unit 12. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S205.

[0070] Next, examples of images displayed on the user terminal device 200 will be described.

In the example shown in the figure, the "application date", "application ID", "quantity" of the collection items, "received status" of the collection items, "receipt registration date" of the collection items, "gender" of the user, "age" of the user, and the like are displayed. The "application date" is the date on which the collection request for collection items was generated. The "application ID" is identification information that identifies the collection request for collection items. The "received status" is information that indicates whether the collection request for collection items is "unreceived" or "received". In the example shown in the figure, when each record is selected, the display screen transitions to an example of a display screen in which the collection request for collection items corresponding to the record is displayed in detail.

[0086] The example shown in FIG. 17 is an example of a display screen of a detailed display displayed by selecting the records of "Application Date" "YYYY / MM / DD", "Application ID" "123456789", "Quantity" "5", "Receipt Status" "Not received", "Receipt Registration Date" "-", "Gender" "Male", and "Age" "24" in the list display shown in FIG. 16. The display area of ​​"Basic Information" includes display areas of "Application Date", "Application ID", "Receipt Status", "Gender", "Age", "Receipt Registration Date", etc. The display area of ​​"Receipt Registration Image" displays an image of the received collection item, an image of the received collection kit, etc. Here, the "Receipt Registration Image" is, for example, an image obtained by photographing at least one of the collection item and the collection kit received by the administrator when the administrator receives the collection item placed in the collection kit dispatched by the user. The display area of ​​"Collection Item List" displays the collection items registered in the collection request. The display area of ​​the "Collected Goods List" includes display areas for "No.", which is identification information for identifying the collected goods, "Registered Image," which is an image of the collected goods, "Category" of the collected goods, "Item Name" of the collected goods, "Color" of the collected goods, and "Material," which is the main material of the collected goods. The display area of ​​the "Collected Goods List" may also display the contents that make up the collected goods and the material of each component. For example, if the collected goods is eye shadow, in addition to the contents, that is, eye shadow (coloring material), the specifications of each component, such as the case, lid, plate, brush, etc. (ABS resin, stainless steel, paper, etc.) may be displayed.

[0087] The example shown in FIG. 18 is an example of a display screen for reading a two-dimensional code attached to a collection kit received from a user. In the example shown, the administrator selects and operates the "code reading" operator, which starts reading the two-dimensional code. In addition, in the example shown, when the two-dimensional code is read, the display screen shown in FIG. 17 is displayed, and a display image including a character string "Do you want to register receipt?" and an operator for "Yes" and an operator for "No" is displayed in a pop-up display in response to a user operation, such as a selection operation, on the operator for "receipt registration" on the display screen shown in FIG. 17. When the operator for "Yes" is selected in the pop-up display, the "receipt status" in the example display screen shown in FIG. 18 is changed to "received", and the "date" on which the administrator read the two-dimensional code is entered in the "receipt registration date".

[0088] The example shown in FIG. 19 is an example of a display screen that displays the withdrawal target products registered in the withdrawal target product data.

[0089] 20 is an example of a display screen on which the administrator can confirm collection request data in which the latest inappropriate collection item image stored in the storage unit 12 is associated with the selection result and an inappropriate collection item image flag, collection request data in which the collection item image is associated with the selection result and a no candidate flag, and collection request data in which the collection item image before reacquisition is associated with information on one or more collection item candidates and a reacquisition flag. In this display screen example, the administrator confirms and modifies each collection request data, and the confirmed and modified collection request data is used for reinforcement learning.

[0090] Thus, the recycling determination system SYS of this embodiment includes a memory unit 12 that stores information regarding recycling target items to be recycled, an acquisition unit (image acquisition unit 1521) that acquires a recycling target item image representing an image of the recycling target item to be recycled, and a determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) that determines whether or not the recycling target item is a recycling target item based on the information regarding the recycling target item and the recycling target item image.

[0091] In this way, the recycling determination system SYS can efficiently collect recycling items. Also, it can determine whether or not a recycling item is a recycling item before it is collected. Even if a JAN code or the like is not attached to a recycling item, it can determine whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item, thereby improving user convenience.

[0092] In the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS, the information on the recycling target product includes at least one of an image showing a used state of the recycling target product and an image showing a state in which the use of the recycling target product has been discontinued.

[0093] In this way, the recycling determination system SYS can determine whether or not a recycling item is eligible for recycling based on images of the item in an unused state, an image of the item in a state in which it is in use (also referred to as a state in which it has ceased to be used or a state in which it is partially used), an image of the item in a used state, and an image of the item being recycled, thereby improving the accuracy of the determination.

[0094] In addition, in the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS, the determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) determines whether or not an item is eligible for recycling by inputting an image of a recycled item into a learning model 124 that has learned the correspondence between at least one of an image showing a used state of a recycled item and an image showing a state in which the use of a recycled item has been discontinued, and information indicating whether or not the item is eligible for recycling.

[0095] In this manner, the recycling determination system SYS can accurately determine whether or not a recycling item is eligible for recycling.

[0096] In addition, the recycling determination device 100 of this embodiment is equipped with a memory unit 12 that stores information regarding the recycling target items to be recycled, an acquisition unit (image acquisition unit 1521) that acquires a recycling target item image representing an image of the recycling target item to be recycled, and a determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) that determines whether the recycling target item is a recycling target item based on the information regarding the recycling target item and the recycling target item image.

[0097] In this way, the recycling determination device 100 can efficiently collect recycling items. Also, it is possible to determine whether or not a recycling item is a recycling item before the recycling of the recycling item. Even if a JAN code or the like is not attached to the recycling item, it is possible to determine whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item, thereby improving user convenience.

[0098] Second embodiment A second embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment, an example of visualizing the collection status in the collection of a collection target item will be described. In the second embodiment, the difference from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and the description of the other parts will be omitted by citing the description of the first embodiment. Here, the collection determination device 100 according to the second embodiment is suitable for the case where the collection item is used for reuse or recycling, but is not limited thereto.

The predetermined cycle may be every two hours, every day, every week, every month, or every time a receipt of a collection item is registered. Specifically, the output information generating unit 155 compiles statistics on the amount of collection items that have been collected or are scheduled to be collected for each predetermined division, and the amount of collection items that have been collected or are scheduled to be collected for each material of the collection items, based on the collection request data 122 stored in the storage unit 12. The predetermined division may be, for example, for each collection item, for each category of collection items, for each manufacturer of collection items, for each age of a user who has requested collection, or for each gender of a user who has requested collection. The predetermined division may be selectable by an administrator. The output information generating unit 155 generates output information using the statistical results.

[0101] The output information generation unit 155 may refer to collection item data corresponding to the collection items and generate output information used to sort the collection items, such as output information presenting a method for sorting the collection items, location information and collection locations of the collection items from the time the user accepts the collection items until they are sent in a collection kit and sorted, or output information presenting the amount of carbon dioxide reduction that would be achieved by reusing or recycling the items instead of discarding them, taking into account the materials and quantities of the collected items.

[0102] Next, the output process in the collection determination device 100 will be described.

[0103] FIG. 22 is a flowchart showing an example of the output process in the collection determination device 100 according to this embodiment. In step S301, the administrator of the collection determination device 100 receives the collected item. After that, the administrator reads the two-dimensional code attached to the collection kit of the collected item, and the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S302.

[0104] In step S302, the collection determination device 100 acquires the two-dimensional code based on the administrator reading the two-dimensional code of the collection kit, and executes receipt registration of the collection item based on the two-dimensional code. After that, the collection determination device 100 executes the process of step S303.

[0105] In step S303, the collection determination device 100 generates output information by referring to the collection request data stored in the storage unit 12. After that, the output process in FIG.

[0106] Next, an example of a display screen for output information will be described.

[0107] FIG. 23 is a diagram showing an example of a display screen of the collection determination device 100 according to this embodiment. In the illustrated example, a display area for "Collection amount (daily cumulative)," a display area for "Collection amount (monthly cumulative)," a display area for "Collection amount (cumulative)," a display area for "Gender," and a display area for "Amount of cosmetics collected per age group" are displayed. In the display area of ​​"Collected amount (daily cumulative)", the collected amount of each material of the collected items is displayed for each day for a predetermined period. The "collection amount (monthly cumulative)" display area displays the quantity of collected items for the specified month for each material of the items requested to be collected. The "collection amount (monthly cumulative)" display area may also display the quantity of collected items relative to the quantity of items scheduled to be collected for the specified month. The "collection amount (cumulative)" display area displays the quantity of collected items for the entire period for each material of the items requested to be collected. The "collection amount (cumulative)" display area may display the quantity of collected items relative to the quantity of items scheduled to be collected for the entire period. The "gender" display area displays the gender ratio of users who have made collection requests. The display area for "amount of collected cosmetics per age group" displays the amount of collected products by category of collected products for each age group of users who have made collection requests.

[0108] In addition to the above-mentioned "amount collected" and "gender," the display screen of the collection determination device 100 may also display, for example, location information and collection location of the collected items from the time the user accepts the collected items to the time they are sent in a collection kit and sorted, or it may display the amount of carbon dioxide reduction that would be achieved by reusing or recycling the collected items rather than discarding them, taking into account the material and amount of the collected items.

[0109] Thus, the recycling determination system SYS of this embodiment includes a memory unit 12 that stores information regarding recycling target items to be recycled, an acquisition unit (image acquisition unit 1521) that acquires a recycling target item image representing an image of the recycling target item to be recycled, and a determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) that determines whether or not the recycling target item is a recycling target item based on the information regarding the recycling target item and the recycling target item image.

[0110] In this way, the recycling determination system SYS can efficiently collect recycling items. It can also determine whether or not a recycling item is a recycling item before it is collected. Even if a JAN code or the like is not attached to the recycling item, it can determine whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item, improving user convenience. It can also prevent secondary distribution of recycling items such as cosmetics at auctions, flea markets, and the like, thereby preventing skin troubles caused by the use of partially used cosmetics and the like.

[0111] In the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS, the information on the recycling target product includes at least one of an image showing a used state of the recycling target product and an image showing a state in which the use of the recycling target product has been discontinued.

[0113] In addition, in the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS, the determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) determines whether or not an item is eligible for recycling by inputting an image of a recycled item into a learning model 124 that has learned the correspondence between at least one of an image showing a used state of a recycled item and an image showing a state in which the use of a recycled item has been discontinued, and information indicating whether or not the item is eligible for recycling.

[0114] In this manner, the recycling determination system SYS can accurately determine whether or not a recycling item is eligible for recycling.

[0115] In addition, the recycling determination device 100 of this embodiment is equipped with a memory unit 12 that stores information regarding the recycling target items to be recycled, an acquisition unit (image acquisition unit 1521) that acquires a recycling target item image representing an image of the recycling target item to be recycled, and a determination unit (recycling reception unit 1524) that determines whether the recycling target item is a recycling target item based on the information regarding the recycling target item and the recycling target item image.

[0116] In this way, the recycling determination device 100 can efficiently collect recycling items. Also, it is possible to determine whether or not a recycling item is a recycling item before the recycling of the recycling item. Even if a JAN code or the like is not attached to the recycling item, it is possible to determine whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item, thereby improving user convenience.

[0117] In addition, the recycling determination system SYS of this embodiment includes a recycling reception unit 1524 that receives recycling requests for recycling items that are to be recycled for reuse or recycling, and a generation unit (output information generation unit 155) that generates progress information regarding the recycling of the recycling items based on the recycling requests and the recycling status of the recycling items.

[0118] In this way, the collection judgment system SYS can visualize the collection status of collected items, so that the collection status of collected items can be grasped. In addition, the collection status can be shared with reuse and recycling companies, logistics companies, etc., so that the work efficiency related to the collection of collected items can be improved.

[0119] In addition, the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS further includes a memory unit 12 that stores information regarding the recycling item including whether or not it is a recycling item, and an acquisition unit (image acquisition unit 1521) that acquires a recycling item image representing an image of the recycling item to be collected, and the recycling acceptance unit 1524 determines whether or not the recycling item is a recycling item based on the information regarding the recycling item and the recycling item image, and accepts a recycling request for the recycling item if the recycling item is a recycling item, and does not accept a recycling request for the recycling item if the recycling item is not a recycling item, and stores the recycling item image and information regarding the recycling item in association with each other in the memory unit 12.

[0120] In this way, even if the product is not subject to collection, it is possible to understand how the user is using the product based on the collected product image, which can be used for marketing purposes. Also, the efficiency of work during and after collection can be improved.

[0121] In the above-mentioned recycling determination system SYS, the recycling status of the recycled products is the recycling amount of the recycled products.

[0122] In this way, the recycling determination system SYS can grasp the recycling status, that is, the extent to which the recycling items have been recycled.

[0123] In addition, in the recycling determination system SYS, the information on recycling items includes information used for sorting the recycling items.

[0124] In this way, the collection judgment system SYS can suggest how to separate collected items after collection, improving work efficiency after collection. In addition, by allowing collected items to be properly separated, it can contribute to the creation of a recycling-oriented society.

[0125] In addition, the collection determination device 100 of this embodiment is equipped with a collection reception unit that receives collection requests for collection items that are to be collected for reuse or recycling, and a generation unit that generates progress information regarding the collection of the collection items based on the collection requests and the collection status of the collection items.

[0126] In this way, the collection determination device 100 can visualize the collection status of the collected items, so that the collection status of the collected items can be grasped. In addition, the collection status can be shared with reuse and recycling companies, logistics companies, and the like, so that the efficiency of work related to the collection of collected items can be improved.
