Abstract

It is possible to track the status of tags added by users. [Solution] The collection container comprises an input port for inserting wireless tags, a user terminal that is communicatively connected to a server that collects information about wireless tags, a wireless communication unit that performs short-range wireless communication with a different communication path between the user terminal and the server, a reading unit that reads tag identification information that identifies the wireless tag from the wireless tag inserted into the input port, and a control device that transmits the reading result from the reading unit to the user terminal via the wireless communication unit.
