Waste disposal cost settlement system

Abstract

To provide a waste disposal cost settlement system which enables waste disposal cost settlement by a waste generator, a disposal company, an intermediate agent, and a settlement agent, while clarifying and simplifying cash flows between the four business operators.SOLUTION: In a waste disposal cost settlement system, terminals and devices are connected to each other over a network. A settlement agent offsets the amount to be paid for disposal cost, or the like, from a waste generator to an intermediate agent, and the amount to be paid for disposal cost from the intermediate agent to a disposal agent, to calculate a difference as an intermediary fee, thereby directly paying the disposal cost from the settlement agent to the disposal agent and paying only the intermediary fee from the settlement agent to the intermediate agent even if the intermediate agent exists. As a result, even if the intermediate agent mediates the settlement for the disposal cost, the disposal cost is directly paid from the waste generator to the disposal agent having an agreement for disposal entrustment, so as to make a material flow of the disposal consistent with a cashflow of the disposal cost.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a waste disposal fee settlement system involving four parties: a waste generator, a waste treatment company, an intermediary company, and a settlement company. [Background technology]

[0002] The proper disposal of waste is a core business in creating a society and economy where resources are recycled. The Waste Disposal and Cleaning Law (hereinafter referred to as the "Law") requires that waste disposal be entrusted to a direct contract between the "waste generator" and the "collection and transportation company" or "disposal company" (collectively referred to as the "disposal company"), and three-party contracts are prohibited. However, as there is no provision in the Law limiting the settlement method for waste disposal fees, an "intermediary" is interposed between the waste generator and the disposal company, and even though there is no disposal entrustment contract relationship between the waste generator and the intermediary, or between the intermediary and the disposal company, it is common for the disposal fees to be settled through the intermediary. In other words, the disposal fee is paid by the waste generator to the intermediary, and then paid by the intermediary to the disposal company.

[0003] While this settlement of disposal fees by intermediaries has the advantage of consolidating the invoices from disposal companies to multiple waste generators, or the invoices from multiple disposal companies to waste generators, it is also common for intermediaries to add or bundle their disposal fee invoice amount to the disposal company and invoice the total amount as disposal fee, or to deduct the invoice amount from the disposal company. In addition, the details of the amount of the invoiced or discounted disposal fee are not clearly stated to the waste generator or disposal company, and there are many cases where the settlement of disposal fees is unclear, which is a factor in waste generators being invoiced for excessive disposal fees by intermediaries and disposal companies being underpaid by intermediaries.

[0004] This kind of non-transparent settlement means that the settlement is not based on the treatment contract between the waste generator and the waste processor, which results in high waste treatment costs and is an obstacle to forming a society and economy that recycles and recycles waste as a resource. For this reason, there is a need for a transparent payment method or system in which the treatment costs are paid directly from the waste generator with which the treatment contract is in place to the treatment processor, even if an intermediary is involved, and the material flow of treatment under the treatment contract matches the cash flow of the treatment costs.

[0005] Patent Document 1, a prior art document, shows a waste disposal fee settlement system linked to an electronic manifest. This system realizes transparency and automation in the settlement of waste disposal fees. However, this system is not a settlement system that assumes the involvement of an intermediary in the settlement of disposal fees. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 7235367 [Non-patent literature]

[0007] [Non-Patent Document 1] Regarding the thorough implementation of responsibility of waste generators regarding waste disposal (notification) (Environmental Waste Management Division Chief and Industrial Waste Management Division Chief, Waste and Recycling Department, Minister's Secretariat, Ministry of the Environment, dated March 21, 2017)

[0008] [Non-Patent Document 2] Regarding ensuring proper disposal of general waste (Notice of No. 72, issued by the Director of the Environmental Improvement Division, Water Supply and Environment Department, Public Health Bureau, Ministry of Health and Welfare, dated August 30, 1999) Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] Also, in order to clarify and simplify the cash flows between the waste generator, the treatment company, and the intermediary, it is possible to consider adding a settlement company to the above three parties. However, no waste treatment fee settlement system has been proposed so far that transfers funds between the four parties of the waste generator, the treatment company, the intermediary, and the settlement company.

[0010] Non-Patent Document 1 points out the problems with settlement through a third party, stating, "The waste generator should decide on its own responsibility which waste disposal company to entrust to the waste disposal company, and when entering into a contract with the waste disposal company, the fundamental details of the treatment entrustment (type and quantity of waste to be entrusted, fee to be paid by the entrustor to the contractor, period of validity of the contract, etc.) are decided between the waste generator and the waste disposal company. From the perspective of fulfilling its responsibilities as a waste generator, the waste generator should not leave these decisions to a third party. Leaving the decision of these details to a third party not only weakens awareness of the importance of the waste generator's responsibility and the direct relationship between the waste generator and the waste disposal company, but also leads to a situation in which intermediation fees are incurred for the third party who acts as an intermediary, and appropriate treatment costs are not paid to the waste disposal company, which may lead to violations of entrustment standards and treatment standards, and even improper treatment such as illegal dumping."

[0011] According to Non-Patent Document 2, "When a third party outside the reach of municipal regulatory authority intervenes in a contract between a general waste generator and a disposal company and acts as mediator, intermediary, agent, etc. (hereinafter referred to as "mediation by a third party"), there is a risk that the responsibility of the general waste generator will become unclear, and depending on the actual content of the contract and the actual disposal of general waste based on the contract, the municipality may determine that this constitutes an act of entrusting general waste disposal that is prohibited by Article 7, Paragraph 10 of the Law, and there is a possibility that the actual disposal of general waste will not conform to the municipality's general waste disposal plan, and this may hinder the assurance of proper disposal under the principle of municipal disposal responsibility." This points out the problems with settlement through the mediation of a third party outside the reach of municipal regulatory authority.

[0012] However, no payment system has been proposed or realized to solve the problems of third-party payment intermediation pointed out by the Ministry of the Environment and others. The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, namely, to enable waste disposal fee settlement among four parties: waste generator, waste treatment company, intermediary company, and settlement company. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention has the configurations defined in the following items [1] to [7].

The settlement agent's terminal device acts as an agent for the payment of the processing fee (hereinafter referred to as the "second processing fee") between the terminal device of the intermediary and the terminal device of the waste disposal company, the first processing fee which the intermediary's terminal device bills and receives from the terminal device of the waste disposal company, and the second processing fee which the intermediary's terminal device bills and receives from the terminal device of the waste disposal company are associated and offset by a computer device as a series of payments or a single payment by assigning a common identification code, and if there is a difference between the payment amount between the terminal device of the waste disposal company and the intermediary's terminal device and the payment amount between the intermediary's terminal device and the terminal device of the waste disposal company, the settlement agent's terminal device pays the difference to the intermediary's terminal device, and the payment amount between the terminal device of the waste disposal company and the intermediary's terminal device is paid by the settlement agent's terminal device directly to the waste disposal company without going through the intermediary's terminal device. This is a waste disposal fee settlement system involving four parties (the waste disposal company, the processing company, the intermediary and the settlement agent).

[0014] [2] A waste disposal fee settlement system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a waste disposal fee settlement system involving four parties, a waste generator, a waste processor, an intermediary, and a settlement agent. In a case where the waste generator and the waste processor are subscribers to an electronic manifest system, the waste generator's terminal device automatically receives or acquires the treatment completion report information registered in the electronic manifest system by the waste generator's terminal device and the treatment completion report approval information registered in the electronic manifest system by the waste generator's terminal device, thereby automatically billing the intermediary's terminal device for a predetermined amount obtained by multiplying the treatment unit price information previously agreed upon and registered in advance by the treatment quantity information in the electronic manifest as the amount of the second disposal fee, and / or automatically billing the intermediary's terminal device for an amount obtained by deducting a previously agreed upon intermediary fee of a predetermined rate or amount from the amount of the second disposal fee, and at the same time a second processing fee is automatically charged from the intermediary's terminal device to the waste discharger's terminal device, and / or an amount equal to the second processing fee plus a brokerage fee of a previously agreed rate or amount is automatically charged from the intermediary's terminal device to the waste discharger's terminal device as the first processing fee; the processing fee, etc. paid between the intermediary's terminal device and the waste discharger's terminal device and the processing fee, etc. paid between the waste discharger's terminal device and the intermediary's terminal device are offset by being associated with each other as a series of payments or a single payment by a computer device by assigning a common identification code; if there is a difference in the payment amounts, the settlement agent's terminal device pays the difference to the intermediary's terminal device, and the payment amount between the waste discharger's terminal device and the intermediary's terminal device is paid by the settlement agent's terminal device directly to the waste discharger's terminal device without going through the intermediary's terminal device.

[0015] [3] A waste disposal fee payment system according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a waste disposal business operator terminal of a waste disposal business operator, a waste disposal business operator terminal of a waste disposal business operator, an intermediary business operator terminal of an intermediary business operator, and a payment business operator terminal of a payment business operator, and is an information processing system which controls transactions between the waste disposal business operator and the waste disposal business operator via the intermediary business operator. The payment business operator terminal executes payment of a first processing fee between the waste disposal business operator terminal and the intermediary business operator terminal, and payment of a second processing fee between the intermediary business operator terminal and the waste disposal business operator terminal, associates and offsets the first processing fee and the second processing fee by assigning a common identification code as a series of payments or as a single payment, and if there is a difference between the first processing fee and the second processing fee, the difference is paid from the payment business operator terminal to the intermediary business operator terminal.

[0016] [4] A waste disposal fee payment system according to one embodiment of the present invention is the waste disposal fee payment system described in [3], in which the payment agent terminal pays the second processing fee directly from the payment agent terminal to the processing agent terminal without going through an intermediary agent terminal.

[0017] [5] A waste disposal fee payment system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a waste disposal fee payment system as described in [1] or [3], in which the payment company terminal presents the difference to the waste generator terminal and the waste disposal company terminal.

[0018] [6] A waste disposal fee payment system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a waste disposal fee payment system as described in any of [1] to [3], in which, when a specified amount based on an electronic manifest system is automatically billed from the waste disposal company terminal to the intermediary company terminal, the intermediary company terminal automatically bills the waste generator terminal for the above-mentioned specified amount.

[0019] [7] A waste disposal fee payment system according to one embodiment of the present invention is a waste disposal fee payment system described in any of [1] to [3], in which, when the intermediary terminal automatically bills the processor terminal for an amount obtained by deducting a specified intermediary fee from a specified amount as the second processing fee based on an electronic manifest system, the intermediary terminal automatically bills the waste generator terminal for an amount obtained by adding the intermediary fee to the specified amount as the first processing fee. Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present invention, in the settlement procedure between the four parties of the waste disposal business operator, the waste disposal business operator, the intermediary, and the settlement business operator, the settlement business operator offsets the payment of the waste disposal business operator's ... In addition, by linking the electronic manifest system with the payment system, it is possible to not only make the settlement of industrial waste disposal costs more transparent, but also to automate the settlement of disposal costs. Furthermore, while the settlement of general waste collection and transportation fees also involves the involvement of intermediaries, in the case of general waste that does not have an electronic manifest system, by regarding the automatic weighing systems installed at municipal waste incineration plants, etc. that are responsible for general waste treatment as a treatment quantity confirmation system equivalent to an electronic manifest system and linking it to the said settlement system, it is possible to not only make the settlement of general waste treatment fees more transparent but also to automate the settlement of treatment fees.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Fig. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of an information processing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the information processing system of the present invention includes at least a communication network 1, a waste generator terminal device of a waste generator (hereinafter, waste generator terminal 2), a waste processor terminal device of a waste processor (hereinafter, processor terminal 3), an intermediary terminal device of an intermediary that mediates the waste generator and the processor in a processing outsourcing contract (hereinafter, intermediary terminal 4), a settlement agent terminal device of a settlement agent that settles the processing fee between the waste generator, the intermediary, and the processor (hereinafter, settlement agent terminal 5), and a computer device 6. In addition, it is at least necessary that an electronic manifest server 7 that operates an electronic manifest system, which is an external system of the information processing system of the present invention, and a bank system 8 are connected via the communication network 1.

[0023] The waste generator terminal 2 is a terminal device operated by a waste generator when using the information processing system of the present invention (hereinafter also referred to as this system). Here, a waste generator is a business that generates and discharges waste (industrial waste or general business waste). Waste generators are required by law to issue a manifest (industrial waste management slip) or register an electronic manifest when discharging industrial waste.

[0024] The waste disposal company terminal 3 is a terminal device operated by waste disposal companies when using this system. A waste disposal company is a business entity that collects, transports, disposes of, or recycles waste. Waste disposal companies are required by law to return a manifest or register a disposal completion report in an electronic manifest after completing the disposal of industrial waste.

[0025] The intermediary terminal 4 is a terminal device operated by the intermediary when using this system. Here, the intermediary is a business entity that mediates between the waste discharger and the waste processor and is entrusted by the waste discharger and / or the waste processor with acting on behalf of and providing advice on various tasks incidental to the conclusion of the contract and the execution of the contracted work, as well as the execution of the contracted work. In other words, the intermediary terminal 4 acts as an agent for the billing of the waste discharger terminal 3 to the waste discharger terminal 2, and the payment of the processing fee from the waste discharger terminal 2 to the waste discharger terminal 3. In the following, intermediaries may also be referred to as waste management companies or waste consulting companies.

[0026] The settlement agent terminal 5 is a terminal device of the settlement agent that settles the processing fee and the like between the waste generator and the intermediary, between the intermediary and the processor, and between the processor and the waste generator. In other words, the settlement agent terminal 5 handles the settlement of the processing fee between the waste generator terminal 2 and the intermediary terminal 4, and between the intermediary terminal 4 and the processor terminal 2. The settlement agent here refers to a financial institution that transfers funds, deposits funds, withdraws funds, remits funds, deposits funds, lends funds, provides credit, provides payment means, etc., such as a bank, trust bank, credit card company (credit company), settlement agent, or money transfer agent, and the like, and the type and form of the business involved is not particularly important as long as the settlement of this system can be carried out. In addition, there are three methods for settling processing fees between the waste generator and the intermediary, and between the intermediary and the processing company, depending on the type of settlement company: simultaneous settlement (remittance), advance settlement of the amount paid by the waste generator (deposit), or advance settlement of the amount received by the processing company (credit). Any of these methods are acceptable in this system.

[0027] Each of the waste generator terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, and the settlement agent terminal 5 is not particularly limited as long as it is a computer (terminal) having at least a display screen, an input unit, a control unit, a storage unit, and a communication unit. In addition, each of the above terminals may be installed at the business premises of each business operator, or may be carried by each business operator. For example, a personal computer, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a mobile phone, a PDA, etc. can be used as each of the above terminals.

[0028] The computer device 6 has at least a control unit, a storage unit, and a communication unit, and is connected to the waste disposal company terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, the settlement company terminal 5, the electronic manifest server 7, and the bank system 8 via the communication network 1. The computer device 6 is not particularly limited as long as it is a server device that shares and exchanges information input from the input unit of each terminal, information stored in the storage unit of each terminal, and information acquired by the communication unit of each terminal, and controls and substitutes for the transmission and reception of information by the communication unit of each terminal and the information processing by the control unit of each terminal. For example, a mainframe, a supercomputer, an office computer, a workstation, etc. can be used as the computer device 6 of the present invention. In the following description, communication or connection between terminals, communication or connection between each terminal and the electronic manifest server 7, and communication or connection between the bank system 8 and the electronic manifest server 7 may be understood as communication or connection via the computer device 6.

[0029] The electronic manifest server 7 is an external server or system (corresponding to an electronic manifest system) different from this system that manages information on the progress of waste treatment entrusted to the processor by the generator.Specific examples include JWNET, operated by the Japan Waste Management Center, a public interest incorporated foundation designated by the Minister of the Environment as an electronic manifest information processing center that centrally manages the progress of industrial waste treatment in Japan as electronic manifest information, and EDI version electronic manifests developed by other private companies and connected to JWNET via EDI (hereinafter collectively referred to as "electronic manifests"). The electronic manifest system is used by waste generators and waste treatment companies. In more detail, waste generators register the location of industrial waste discharged, the items entrusted, the amount entrusted, the treatment contractor, the transport destination, the treatment method, and the final disposal method, etc., and waste treatment companies register reports on the completion of collection and transportation, the completion of intermediate treatment, and the completion of final disposal. The waste generator then registers its approval of the series of reports in the electronic manifest system. Note that manifests or electronic manifests are systems that are legally required to be used only for industrial waste, but systems with similar functions to electronic manifests, such as processing completion confirmation systems, logistics management systems, and traceability systems (tracking systems), may also be used voluntarily for general waste, disaster waste, and recyclable materials. Therefore, the use of electronic manifests in this system is not necessarily limited to industrial waste. Also, electronic manifests are not necessarily limited to those required by law.

[0030] The information on the progress of waste treatment managed by the electronic manifest server 7 includes information on the progress of waste collection and transportation, information on the progress of intermediate waste treatment, information on the progress of secondary collection and transportation, and information on the progress of final waste disposal. In this system, from among this information, information on the completion of collection and transportation, information on the completion of intermediate treatment, information on the completion of secondary collection and transportation, information on the completion of final disposal, and information on the approval of these information by the waste generator are downloaded, and information contained therein, such as the type of waste, the amount of waste treated / transported, the treatment method, and the date and time of completion of treatment, is obtained as treatment performance information of the treatment company or treatment facility for a specified period, and used for settlement of treatment fees. In the following, unless otherwise noted, information managed by the electronic manifest server 7 and obtained by the computer device 6 and each terminal from the electronic manifest server 7 is treated as "treatment performance information" or "electronic manifest information".

[0031] The electronic manifest server 7 may be replaced by another server or another information providing service that manages waste treatment progress information equivalent to the electronic manifest information, or equivalent waste treatment performance information.

[0032] The bank system 8 may be a system of a financial institution other than a bank, or a system operated by a payment service provider, so long as it is a system capable of opening an account for funds or payment means, transferring funds or payment means between accounts, transferring, debiting, moving, issuing electronic registered claims, granting credit, etc. When the bank system 8 is a system operated by a payment service provider, the computer device 6 and the bank system 8 may be an integrated system.

[0033] As described above, the waste generator terminal 2, the processor terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, and the payment processor terminal 5 are connected to the computer device 6 via the communication network 1. In addition, the computer device 6 is preferably always connected to the electronic manifest server 7 and the bank system 8 via the communication network 1, but it is sufficient if the computer device 6 can be connected as needed.

[0034] The computer device 6 may be replaced by a cloud computing system whose location as a server of the present system is not specified. In other words, the computer device 6 may be a server computer for ASP (Application Service Provider), SaaS (Software as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), or IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service).

[0035] The payment processor terminal 5 and the computer device 6 may be integrated into one device.

[0036] Next, the configurations of the waste discharger terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, and the computer device 6 will be described with reference to Fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the waste discharger terminal 2 according to one embodiment of the present invention. The waste discharger terminal 2 comprises a control unit 21, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 22, a storage unit 23, a graphics processing unit 24, a display unit 25, an input unit 27, a communication interface unit 28, and an interface unit 29, each of which is connected by an internal bus. The display unit 25 may include, for example, a display screen 26 and / or a touch input unit 27a.

[0037] The control unit 21 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), etc. The control unit 21 executes programs stored in the storage unit 23 and controls the waste discharger terminal 2. The RAM 22 is a work area for the control unit 21. The storage unit 23 is a memory area for saving programs and data.

[0038] The control unit 21 reads out and processes programs and data from the RAM 22. The control unit 21 processes the programs and data loaded in the RAM 22, and outputs drawing commands to the graphics processing unit 24.

[0039] The graphics processing unit 24 is connected to the display unit 25. The display unit 25 has a display screen 26. When the control unit 21 outputs a drawing command to the graphics processing unit 24, the graphics processing unit 24 outputs a video signal for displaying an image on the display screen 26. Here, the display unit 25 may be a touch panel screen equipped with a touch input unit 27a.

[0040] The communication interface unit 28 can be connected to the communication network 1 wirelessly or via a wire, and transmits and receives information to and from the computer device 6 via the communication network 1. Data received via the communication interface unit 28 is loaded into the RAM 22, and the control unit 21 performs arithmetic processing.

[0041] An input unit 27 consisting of a mouse, keyboard, etc. can be connected to the interface unit 29. Information input from the input unit 27 by a user of the waste discharger terminal 2 is stored in the RAM 22, and the control unit 21 executes various arithmetic processing based on the input information. The input unit 27 can also be replaced by a touch input unit 27a of the display unit 25 equipped with a touch panel.

[0042] For the configurations of the recycler terminal 3, intermediary terminal 4, and settlement agent terminal 5 shown in Figures 3 to 5, the configuration of the waste discharger terminal 2 shown in Figure 2 can be adopted or utilized to the extent necessary.

[0043] 6 is a block diagram showing the configuration of a computer device 6 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The computer device 6 includes at least a control unit 61, a RAM 62, a storage unit 63, and a communication interface unit 64, which are connected to each other via an internal bus.

[0044] The control unit 61 is composed of a CPU, a ROM, etc., and executes programs stored in the storage unit 63 to control the computer device 6. The control unit 61 also has an internal timer that measures time. The RAM 62 is the work area of ​​the control unit 61. The storage unit 63 is a memory area for saving programs and data. The control unit 61 reads out the programs and data from the RAM 62, and performs program execution processing based on various information received from the waste generator terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, the payment processor terminal 5, and the electronic manifest server 7.

[0045] The communication interface unit 64 can be connected to the communication network 1 wirelessly or by wire, and can transmit and receive data via the communication network 1 with the waste generator terminal 2, the processor terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, the payment processor terminal 5, the electronic manifest server 7, and the bank system 8. Data received via the communication network 1 is loaded into, for example, the RAM 62, and the control unit 61 performs arithmetic processing.

[0046] Next, the association between waste disposal cost information at a disposal facility and a predetermined classification code in the electronic manifest information will be described.

[0047] As a preliminary step for the calculation of the assessed amount of the processing fee, first, the contract processing unit price information for each processing item of the waste processor is registered in the computer device 6, and the registered contract processing unit price information is stored in association with a predetermined classification code related to waste processing. This information registration is performed based on information inputted from the input unit 27, 37, 47 of any one of the waste generator terminal 2, the waste processor terminal 3, or the intermediary terminal 4, transmitted from the communication interface unit 28, 38, 48 of the terminal to the computer device 6 via the communication network 1, and received by the communication interface unit 64 of the computer device 6. Here, the predetermined classification code is determined in advance based on a predetermined classification standard for waste disposal and is associated with disposal record information or electronic manifest information, and for example, a code table adopted by JWNET is used. The types of predetermined classification codes include, for example, classification codes for waste items, classification codes for waste disposal methods, classification codes for waste quantity units, and classification codes for waste transportation methods (see FIG. 10). In addition, for example, a predetermined classification code may be adopted as identification information for identifying a disposal company or a disposal facility, and a unique code may be associated with each disposal company or disposal facility, or each type of business of a disposal company. The contract disposal unit price is registered in the computer device 6 in association with the classification code based on the disposal entrustment contract. Information on the disposal entrustment contract may be compiled into a database in advance and stored in the computer device 6.

[0048] As a specific embodiment of the present invention, a case will be described below in which a treatment fee settlement agency contract is concluded between a treatment company and an intermediary, and between the intermediary and a waste discharger.

[0049] The treatment fee settlement agency contract is a contract in which the intermediary acts on behalf of the treatment company in billing the waste disposal company for treatment fees and the waste disposal company in paying the treatment fees, and the treatment company is the party to bill the treatment company for treatment fees and the intermediary is the party that bills the waste disposal company for treatment fees. The advantage of the treatment fee settlement agency contract is that for treatment companies, billing to multiple waste disposal companies is consolidated, streamlining of settlement procedures, and for waste disposal companies, streamlining of settlement procedures by consolidating billing from multiple treatment companies.

[0050] <<Embodiment Mode Pattern 1>> The information processing pattern (hereinafter, pattern 1) regarding the processing fee settlement in the first embodiment of the present invention is a processing flow of electronic manifest reference settlement when a processing fee settlement agency contract has been concluded. The procedure of pattern 1 will be described below with reference to Figs. 7 and 9 to 13. In pattern 1, steps S1 to S10 shown in Fig. 7 are performed in this order. Each step is performed by a corresponding terminal device among the waste generator terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, and the settlement agent terminal 5.

[0051] (Step S1 in FIG. 7) The recycler terminal 3 downloads the processing completion report information (hereinafter referred to as "report information") registered by the recycler and the processing completion report approval information (hereinafter referred to as "approval information") registered by the waste generator from the electronic manifest server 7 via the communication interface unit 38, and stores it in RAM 32 (Figure 11). The control unit 31 checks whether the report information and the approval information correspond to each other. If they correspond, the control unit 31 refers to the processing unit price information (Figure 12) corresponding to the item, quantity unit, collection and transportation method, and disposal method classification (Figure 10) based on the processing contract that has been stored in advance in the storage unit 33, and the processing completion quantity of the report information stored in RAM 32 (more specifically, processing quantity information where the processing completion has been reported and the report has been approved), generates a processing fee billing amount (hereinafter referred to as "recycler billing information"), stores it in RAM 32 (Figure 13), and transmits the recycler billing information to the intermediary terminal 4 via the communication interface unit 38. The processing cost indicated by the processing unit price information multiplied by the processing completion quantity indicated by the report information corresponds to the processing fee (predetermined amount) based on the electronic manifest system. The processing fee indicated by the processing company billing information corresponds to the second processing fee in pattern 1.

[0052] (Step S2 in FIG. 7) The intermediary terminal 4 receives recycler billing information from the recycler terminal 3 via the communication interface unit 48 and stores it in RAM 42, downloads report information and approval information related to the recycler billing information from the electronic manifest server 7 and stores it in RAM 42, and checks in the control unit 41 whether the report information, approval information, and recycler billing information correspond.If they do correspond, the control unit 41 generates a processing fee billing amount (hereinafter referred to as ``intermediary billing information'') and stores it in RAM 42, and transmits the intermediary billing information to the waste generator terminal 2 via the communication interface unit 48. The processing fee indicated by the intermediary billing information corresponds to the first processing fee in pattern 1.

[0053] (Step S3 in FIG. 7) The waste discharger terminal 2 receives intermediary billing information from the intermediary terminal 4 via the communication interface unit 28 and stores it in RAM 22, downloads report information and approval information related to the intermediary billing information from the electronic manifest server 7 and stores it in RAM 22, checks in the control unit 21 whether the report information and the approval information correspond to each other, and if they correspond, the control unit 21 generates information confirming the intermediary billing information (hereinafter referred to as "intermediary billing confirmation information") and stores it in RAM 22, and transmits the intermediary billing confirmation information to the intermediary terminal 4 via the communication interface unit 28.

[0054] (Step S4 in FIG. 7) The intermediary terminal 4 receives intermediary billing confirmation information from the waste generator terminal 2 via the communication interface unit 48 and stores it in RAM 42. The control unit 41 then attaches a code (hereinafter referred to as "association code 1") that associates the recycler billing information and the intermediary billing information as billing information relating to a series of payments or a single payment to the recycler billing information and the intermediary billing information, and stores it in RAM 42 (see Figure 9). The association code 1 is assigned to the recycler billing information and the intermediary billing information, and corresponds to a common identification code for a series of payments in which these information are processed, or for an integrated payment.

[0055] Also, in step S4, if there is information on the amount of brokerage fee or brokerage fee rate that the broker will charge the recycler, which has been stored in advance in the storage unit 43, the intermediary terminal 4 refers to this information by the control unit 41, generates the amount of brokerage fee that the intermediary will charge the recycler (hereinafter referred to as "recycler fee information"), attaches a code (hereinafter referred to as "association code 2") that associates the recycler billing information and the recycler fee information as being a series or integrated payment, to the recycler billing information and the recycler fee information, and stores the code in RAM 42 (see FIG. 9). Here, the brokerage fee that the recycler pays to the intermediary is a commission fee for introducing waste dischargers or brokering a contract, acting as a contract preparation agent, acting as an electronic manifest processing agent, and acting as a billing agent to enable a lump-sum billing of processing fees, etc. The association code 2 is assigned to the recycler billing information and the recycler fee information, and corresponds to a common identification code for a series of payments or an integrated payment in which these pieces of information are processed.

[0056] Also, in step S4, if there is information on the amount of brokerage fee or brokerage fee rate that the broker charges the waste discharger, which has been stored in advance in the storage unit 43, the intermediary terminal 4 refers to this information by the control unit 41, generates the amount of brokerage fee that the broker charges the waste discharger (hereinafter referred to as "waste discharger fee information"), attaches a code that associates the broker billing information with the waste discharger fee information (hereinafter referred to as "association code 3") to the broker billing information and the waste discharger fee information, and stores the code in RAM 42 (see FIG. 9). Here, the brokerage fee that the waste discharger pays to the intermediary is a commission fee for introducing a treatment company or brokering a contract, acting as a contract preparation agent, acting as an electronic manifest processing agent, and consolidating bills to enable a lump-sum payment of treatment fees. The association code 3 is assigned to the intermediary billing information and the waste generator fee information, and corresponds to a common identification code for a series of payments in which these pieces of information are processed, or for an integrated payment.

[0057] (Step S5 in FIG. 7) The intermediary terminal 4 transmits the recycler billing information, intermediary billing information, recycler fee information, and waste generator fee information stored in RAM 42 to the payment agent terminal 5 via the communication interface unit 48.

[0058] The settlement agent terminal 5 receives the recycler billing information, the intermediary agent billing information, the recycler fee information, and the waste generator fee information via the communication interface unit 58 and stores them in the RAM 52.

[0059] (Step S6 in FIG. 7) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 compares the processor billing information and the processor fee information associated by the association code 2 and offsets them against each other to generate the amount to be paid from the intermediary business to the processor (hereinafter referred to as "processor receipt amount information") and stores it in the RAM 42. In the offsetting process in step S6, the processing fee billing amount indicated by the processor billing information is offset against the intermediary fee amount indicated by the processor fee information to calculate the processor receipt amount information.

[0060] The control unit 51 of the settlement agent terminal 5 compares the intermediary agent billing information and the waste discharger fee information associated with each other by the association code 3, and adds them up to generate the payment amount from the waste discharger to the intermediary agent (hereinafter referred to as "waste discharger payment amount information"), which is stored in the RAM 42. In the addition process in step S6, the processing fee billing amount indicated by the intermediary agent billing information and the intermediary fee amount indicated by the waste discharger fee information are added up, and the total amount is calculated as the waste discharger payment amount information.

[0061] (Step S7 in FIG. 7) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 attaches a code (hereinafter referred to as "association code 4") that associates the processor receipt information and the waste generator payment amount information from association code 1, which associates the processor invoice information and the intermediary invoice information, to the intermediary payment amount information and the waste generator payment amount information, and stores them in RAM 52. The association code 4 is assigned to the recycler receipt information and the waste generator payment information, and corresponds to a common identification code for a series of payments in which these pieces of information are processed, or for an integrated payment.

[0062] (Step S8 in FIG. 7) The payment processor terminal 5 offsets the recycler receipt information and the waste generator payment information associated with the association code 4 using the control unit 51, generates the difference (hereinafter referred to as ``intermediary receipt information''), and stores it in RAM 52.

[0063] (Step S9 in FIG. 7) The settlement agent terminal 5 transmits, via the communication interface unit 58, to the bank system 8, information on the processor's receipt amount pertaining to the transfer of funds to the processor's account, information on the intermediary's receipt amount pertaining to the transfer of funds to the intermediary's account, and information on the emitter's payment amount pertaining to the withdrawal of funds from the emitter's account, and entrusts the execution of settlement to the bank system 8. At this time, the bank system 8 can also effect settlement by methods other than the transfer of funds to an account or the withdrawal of funds from an account, such as remittance, provision of credit, delivery or exchange of electronically recorded claims, delivery or exchange of digital currency, delivery or exchange of virtual currency (crypto assets), or offsetting with other payments.

[0064] (Step S10 in FIG. 7) The payment processor terminal 5 receives payment confirmation information of the processor receipt amount information and intermediary receipt amount information from the bank system 8 via the communication interface unit 58, stores it in RAM 52, and transmits the same information to the waste processor terminal 2, and the waste processor terminal 2 receives the same information via the communication interface unit 28, stores it in RAM 22, creates a display image in the graphics processing unit 24, and displays the image on the display screen 26 of the display unit 25, making it possible to check the payment status. The processor terminal 3 and intermediary terminal 4 also receive the same information, and similarly display it on the display units 35, 45, making it possible to check the payment status.

[0065] In each step of the above-mentioned pattern 1, all or part of the information processing in each terminal can be information processing by the computer device 6 via the communication interface unit of each terminal.

[0066] <<Embodiment Mode 2>> The information processing pattern (hereinafter, pattern 2) regarding the processing fee settlement in the second embodiment of the present invention is a process flow of automatic settlement linked to an electronic manifest when a processing fee settlement agency contract has been concluded. The procedure of pattern 2 will be described below with reference to Figs. 8 to 13. In pattern 2, steps S11 to S20 shown in Fig. 8 are carried out in this order. Each step is carried out by a corresponding terminal device among the waste generator terminal 2, the recycler terminal 3, the intermediary terminal 4, and the settlement agent terminal 5.

[0067] (Step S11 in FIG. 8) The control unit 31 of the recycler terminal 3 automatically receives (in detail, automatically downloads) the report information registered by the recycler and the approval information registered by the waste generator from the electronic manifest server 7 periodically (for example, every Monday, etc.) and stores it in the RAM 32 (FIG. 11), automatically checks whether the report information and the approval information correspond to each other, and if they correspond, automatically refers to the processing unit price information (FIG. 12) corresponding to the item, quantity unit, collection and transportation method, and disposal method classification (FIG. 10) based on the processing commission contract stored in the storage unit 33 in advance, and the processing end quantity of the report information stored in the RAM 32, automatically generates the recycler billing information, stores it in the RAM 32 (FIG. 13), and automatically transmits the recycler billing information to the intermediary terminal 4 by the communication interface unit 38. That is, the recycler terminal 3 automatically bills the intermediary terminal 4 for the processing fee indicated by the recycler billing information. Here, the processing fee indicated by the recycler billing information corresponds to the second processing fee in pattern 2.

[0068] (Step S12 in FIG. 8) The control unit 41 of the intermediary terminal 4 is set to automatically receive processing fee billing information from the recycler terminal 3 through the communication interface unit 48 and store it in the RAM 42, automatically download report information and approval information related to the billing from the electronic manifest server 7 and store it in the RAM 42, automatically check whether the report information and the approval information correspond, and if they do, automatically generate a processing fee billing amount (hereinafter referred to as "intermediary billing information") and store it in the RAM 42, and automatically transmit the intermediary billing information to the waste generator terminal 2 through the communication interface unit 48. In other words, the intermediary terminal 4 automatically bills the waste generator terminal 2 for the processing fee amount indicated in the intermediary billing information.

[0069] (Step S13 in FIG. 8) The control unit 21 of the waste discharger terminal 2 is configured to automatically receive intermediary billing information from the intermediary terminal 4 via the communication interface unit 28 and store it in RAM 22, automatically download report information and approval information related to the intermediary billing information from the electronic manifest server 7 and store it in RAM 22, automatically check whether the report information and the approval information correspond, and if they do, automatically generate intermediary billing confirmation information and store it in RAM 22, and automatically send the intermediary billing confirmation information to the intermediary terminal 4 via the communication interface unit 28.

[0070] (Step S14 in FIG. 8) The control unit 41 of the intermediary terminal 4 is configured to automatically receive intermediary billing confirmation information from the waste generator terminal 2 via the communication interface unit 48 and store it in RAM 42, and to automatically attach an association code 1 to the recycler billing information and intermediary billing information, which associates the recycler billing information and the intermediary billing information as billing information relating to a series of payments or a single payment, and store it in RAM 42 (see Figure 9).

[0071] Also, in step S14, if there is information on the amount or rate of the intermediary fee that the intermediary will charge the recycler, which has been stored in advance in the storage unit 43, the intermediary terminal 4 automatically references this in the control unit 41 and automatically generates recycler fee information that the intermediary will charge the recycler.Then, the intermediary terminal 4 automatically attaches an association code 2, which associates the recycler billing information and the recycler fee information as being a series of payments or an integrated payment, to the recycler billing information and the recycler fee information, and stores this in the RAM 42 (see FIG. 9).

[0072] Also, in step S14, if there is information on the amount of brokerage fee or brokerage fee rate that the broker will charge the waste discharger, which has been stored in advance in the storage unit 43, the control unit 41 of the intermediary terminal 4 automatically references this information, automatically generates waste discharger fee information that the intermediary will charge the waste discharger, and automatically attaches an association code 3 that associates the intermediary billing information with the waste discharger fee information to the intermediary billing information and the waste discharger fee information, and stores it in RAM 42 (see Figure 9).

[0073] (Step S15 in FIG. 8) The control unit 41 of the intermediary terminal 4 is configured to automatically transmit the processor billing information, intermediary billing information, processor fee information, and waste generator fee information stored in RAM 42 to the payment processor terminal 5 via the communication interface unit 48.

[0074] The control unit 51 of the settlement agent terminal 5 is set to automatically receive recycler billing information, intermediary agent billing information, recycler fee information, and waste generator fee information via the communication interface unit 58 and store them in the RAM 52.

[0075] (Step S16 in FIG. 8) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 automatically compares the processor billing information and the processor fee information, which are associated by the association code 2, and performs offsetting processing to automatically generate processor receipt information from the intermediary to the processor, and store it in the RAM 42. As a result, the intermediary terminal 4 automatically bills the processor terminal 3 for the amount obtained by deducting the intermediary fee indicated by the processor fee from the processing fee (second processing fee) indicated by the processor billing information.

[0076] The control unit 51 of the settlement agent terminal 5 automatically compares the intermediary agent billing information and the waste discharger fee information associated with each other by the association code 3, and performs an adding-up process to automatically generate waste discharger payment amount information from the waste discharger to the intermediary agent, and stores the information in the RAM 42. As a result, the waste discharger terminal 2 automatically bills the intermediary agent terminal 4 for the processing fee indicated by the intermediary agent billing information plus the intermediate fee indicated by the waste discharger fee. This automatically billed amount corresponds to the amount of the first processing fee.

[0077] (Step S17 in FIG. 8) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 automatically attaches association code 4, which associates the processor receipt information and the waste generator payment amount information, to the intermediary payment amount information and the waste generator payment amount information, based on association code 1, which associates the processor invoice information and the intermediary invoice information, and stores it in RAM 52 (see Figure 9).

[0078] (Step S18 in FIG. 8) The payment processor terminal 5 is configured to automatically generate intermediary processor receipt information by offsetting the processor receipt information and the waste generator payment information associated by the association code 4 in the control unit 51 and store the information in RAM 52.

[0079] (Step S19 in FIG. 8) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 is configured to automatically transmit, via the communication interface unit 58, to the bank system 8, information on the processor receipt amount relating to the transfer of funds to the processor's account, information on the intermediary receipt amount relating to the transfer of funds to the intermediary's account, and information on the waste emitter payment amount relating to the withdrawal of funds from the waste emitter's account, and entrust the execution of the payment to the bank system 8.

[0080] (Step S20 in FIG. 8) The control unit 51 of the payment processor terminal 5 receives payment confirmation information of the processor receipt amount information and intermediary receipt amount information from the bank system 8 via the communication interface unit 58, stores the information in RAM 52, and transmits the information to the waste generator terminal 2, and the waste generator terminal 2 receives the information via the communication interface unit 28, stores it in RAM 22, creates a display image in the graphics processing unit 24, and displays the image on the display screen 26 of the display unit 25 to confirm the payment status. The processor terminal 3 and intermediary terminal 4 are also set to receive the same information and confirm the payment status in a similar manner.

[0081] In each step of the above-mentioned pattern 2, all or part of the information processing in each terminal can be information processing by the computer device 6 via the communication interface unit of each terminal. [Industrial Applicability]
