Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus, method, and program for processing certification information for origin of woody biomass, which is fuel for biomass power generation. [Background technology]

[0002] Based on the Act on Special Measures Concerning the Promotion of Procurement of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources, the FIT (Feed-In Tariff) system purchases electricity generated by renewable energy power generation companies at a fixed price, and the FIP (Feed-In Premium) system aims to encourage investment incentives for power generation companies and promote the spread of renewable energy by providing renewable energy power generation companies with a fixed premium (subsidy amount) on top of the revenue from selling the electricity they generate in the wholesale electricity market. Under these systems, the purchase price varies depending on the classification of power generation fuel, especially for the use of woody biomass, and the fee is directly passed on to electricity users. Therefore, in order to gain the trust of the public, the Forestry Agency has established the "Guidelines for Certification of Woody Biomass Used for Power Generation (hereinafter referred to as the "Forestry Agency Guidelines") (Non-Patent Document 1), which requires appropriate segregation management and clear proof of origin at each distribution stage.

[0003] Regarding the certificate of origin, the handler is required to certify to the relevant business operators at the next distribution stage that the delivered item is the wood biomass in question and that it is being managed separately. In addition, the handler is required to keep and be able to present the issued certificate and other related documents for at least five years. On the other hand, woody biomass has a wide variety of origins, including that derived from thinning wood and what is called general woody biomass. There are also various distribution routes for woody biomass, starting from wood material producers in forests and connecting them with lumber companies, chip processing companies, power plants, etc.

[0004] In response to this situation, there has been known a wood management system and method that is compatible with the feed-in tariff system for renewable energy, in which a wireless IC tag is attached to wood and equipped with a memory unit, and during the process of the tag being transported from a wood supply site and shipped to a purchaser as wood biomass, wood information including the type of wood to which the wireless IC tag is attached is stored in the memory unit, and the type of wood determined based on the wood information stored in the memory unit is displayed on the display unit of each information terminal, such as a management server, a forestry business entity terminal, a processor terminal, a purchaser terminal, and an electric power company terminal (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2016-212581 A [Non-patent literature]

[0006] [Non-Patent Document 1] Issued by the Forestry Agency, "Guidelines for Certification of Woody Biomass for Power Generation", published in June 2012 (last revised in April 2024), searchable on the Internet on September 18, 2024: https: / / www.rinya.maff.go.jp / j / riyou / biomass / attach / pdf / hatudenriyou_guideline-7.pdf Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] However, wood biomass is distributed in a variety of forms, such as logs felled or cut from forests, sawmill residues (offcuts, bark, sawdust, etc.) after logs are processed by lumber companies, driftwood from dams, and wood chips processed by chip processing companies, so there was a problem in that it was not practical to attach wireless IC tags to wood.

[0008] The current situation is that the certificate of origin is prepared individually on paper by distributors at each distribution stage and handed over to the delivery destination company. However, the certificate of origin required by the Forestry Agency is specified in detail for each distribution stage, and it is somewhat complicated for wood biomass distributors to operate and requires ingenuity. In addition, for example, when it rains, the paper for the certificate of origin gets wet, making it difficult to store, or when the wood biomass is blown around by strong winds at the delivery destination, it can be difficult to properly attach (paste) the weighing slip and certificate of origin after it has been transported, resulting in issues with the efficiency of work on site. Furthermore, compared to the "Industrial Waste Management Sheet based on the Waste Disposal Act," which is an important core system for tracking and managing the distribution and processing of industrial waste, there is no government-led centralized core system for wood biomass. Therefore, the operation and management system for the certificate of origin stipulated in the Forestry Agency's guidelines to appropriately reflect the different purchase prices according to fuel classification under the FIT / FIP system is left to the voluntary understanding and judgment of each distributor, and there have been issues in clarifying traceability. Under the FIT / FIP system, the government pays the price at which power generation companies sell electricity to electric power companies, and the cost is directly passed on to the public as a renewable energy surcharge, so electricity consumers also consider it an important issue.

[0009] Therefore, the present invention aims to realize sound proof of origin and enable sound fuel procurement by automatically creating, printing, and storing certificates of origin at the same time as weighing wood biomass at each distribution stage. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] A woody biomass-derived certification information processing device according to one embodiment is an information processing device installed at each distribution company, including a power generation company, which distributes woody biomass delivered to a power generation company from a wood material producer at each distribution stage, and includes a company basic information registration unit that registers in advance basic company information, which is basic information about a company that delivers woody biomass to the distribution company, and stores it in a first memory unit; a transport vehicle information registration unit that registers transport vehicle information, which is information about one or more transport vehicles used by the company to transport woody biomass, and stores it in a second memory unit; When the net weight of the wood biomass delivered by the company is measured using a weighing device, the device generates certificate of origin data in a certificate of origin format corresponding to the type of wood biomass and the distribution stage of the distributor based on the net weight, basic company information stored in the first memory unit, transportation vehicle information stored in the second memory unit, and pre-stored information about the distributor, and displays and / or prints on paper the certificate of origin based on the certificate of origin data, and stores image data of the certificate of origin in the third memory unit for at least a predetermined period of time. Effect of the Invention

[0011] According to the present invention, by automatically creating and printing a certificate of origin at the same time as weighing woody biomass at each distribution stage, sound proof of origin can be achieved, enabling sound fuel procurement. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a functional block diagram of a woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 is, for example, a personal computer, and is installed in each of the distribution companies, including the power generation company, which distributes woody biomass 110 at each distribution stage, which is delivered to the power generation company from the wood material producer through one or more distribution stages.

[0014] The basic company information registration unit 101 registers in advance basic company information, which is basic information on a company that delivers woody biomass 110 to a distributor, and stores the information in the first storage unit 104 .

[0015] The transport vehicle information registration unit 102 registers transport vehicle information, which is information about one or more transport vehicles 109 used by a company to transport woody biomass 110, and stores the information in the second storage unit 105. The transport vehicles 109 used by a company may be either vehicles owned by the company, or vehicles commissioned by the company to a transport company for use.

[0016] When the net weight of wood biomass 110 delivered by the company's transport vehicle 109 is measured by a weighing device 108 at the distributor, the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 generates certificate of origin data that contains a certificate of origin for the wood biomass 110 delivered by the company in a certificate of origin format that corresponds to the type of wood biomass 110 and the distribution stage of the distributor, based on the net weight, the company's basic information stored in the first memory unit 104, the transport vehicle information stored in the second memory unit 105, and the pre-stored information of the distributor, and displays and / or prints on paper the certificate of origin based on the certificate of origin data, and stores the image data of the certificate of origin in the third memory unit 106 for at least a predetermined period of time. In this way, by the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 of this embodiment, at each distributor, the net weight of the woody biomass 110 delivered from the company's transport vehicle 109 is measured by the weighing device 108, and at the same time, the measured net weight, which is acquired automatically or by a simple selection operation, and the previously registered company basic information, transport vehicle information of the transport vehicle 109, distributor information, the type of delivered woody biomass 110, and the distribution stage of the distributor are determined, and origin certificate data containing the origin certification of the woody biomass 110 delivered by the company is automatically generated in an appropriate origin certificate format, and the origin certificate can be displayed / printed / saved. This makes it possible to significantly simplify the creation of origin certificates, and ultimately to realize sound origin certification and sound fuel procurement.

[0017] Here, at least one of the first storage unit 104 and the second storage unit 105 may be an IC card recording medium carried by the driver of the transport vehicle 109. In this case, the origin certificate data generation unit 103 may further include an IC card interface unit that reads the company basic information stored in the IC card recording medium when weighing by the weighing scale 108 when the first storage unit 104 is an IC card recording medium, and reads the transport vehicle information stored in the IC card recording medium when weighing by the weighing scale 108 when the second storage unit 105 is an IC card recording medium.

[0018] Alternatively, at least one of the first memory unit 104 and the second memory unit 105 may be an external storage device such as a solid state drive (SSD) or a hard disk connected to the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 connected to the weighing device 108. In this case, the origin certificate data generation unit 103 may operate to read the company basic information stored in the external storage device at the time of weighing by the weighing device 108 when the first memory unit 104 is an external storage device, and to read the transport vehicle information stored in the external storage device at the time of weighing by the weighing device 108 when the second memory unit 105 is an external storage device.

[0019] The transport vehicle information registration unit 102 may use the weighing device 108 to register in advance the unladen weight of the transport vehicle 109 when no woody biomass 110 is loaded, and store it in the second storage unit 105. In this case, the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 can calculate the net weight by subtracting the unladen weight stored in the second storage unit 105 from the total weight of the transport vehicle 109 loaded with woody biomass 110, measured by the weighing device 108. Alternatively, the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 may calculate the net weight by subtracting the empty weight of the transport vehicle 109, measured using the weighing device 108 after delivery of the wood biomass 110, from the total weight of the transport vehicle 109, measured using the weighing device 108 before delivery of the wood biomass 110.

[0020] In addition, the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 generates certificate of origin data that further includes measurement slip data indicating the measurement results of the wood biomass transported by the transport vehicle using the weighing instrument 108, and delivery note data indicating the delivery of the wood biomass, and may display and / or print on paper the measurement slip / delivery note with certificate of origin based on the certificate of origin data, and may store image data of the measurement slip / delivery note with certificate of origin in the third memory unit 106 for at least a predetermined period (e.g., five years).

[0021] The above-mentioned third storage unit 106 may be an external storage device such as an SSD or a hard disk connected to the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100.

[0022] Alternatively, the third storage unit 106 may be a storage device of a cloud system capable of communicating with the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 via the Internet.

[0023] Fig. 2 is an explanatory diagram of company basic information 200 and transport vehicle information 210 registered by the company basic information registration unit 101 and transport vehicle information registration unit 102 in Fig. 1. As described above, the company basic information 200 is registered in the first storage unit 104 by the function of the company basic information registration unit 101 in Fig. 1, and the transport vehicle information 210 is registered in the second storage unit 105 by the function of the transport vehicle information registration unit 102 in Fig. 1.

[0024] As shown in Figure 2(a), company basic information 200 has a company name field 201, abbreviated company name field 202, address field 203, certification number field 204, tree species field 205, telephone number field 206, representative name field 207, remarks field 208, delivery note count field 209, and certificate of origin form number field 220, etc. Items other than the delivery note count item 209 are registered through the company registration process described below, for example by tapping a company registration button 1102 (see FIG. 11) displayed on the touch panel display 1005 (see FIG. 10) described below (see the explanation of step S1211 in FIG. 12(b)). The value of the invoice count item 209 is reset to 0 when the company basic information 200 is registered and every month, and is counted up each time a measurement invoice / invoice with proof of origin is issued by the measurement invoice / invoice with proof of origin issuance process described below (see the explanation of step S1407 in Figure 14). In relation to business certification for handling woody biomass, the values ​​of the company name item 201, company abbreviation item 202, address item 203, and certification number item 204 cannot be changed once they have been registered. In order to re-register, it is necessary to delete the company basic information 200 once and then re-register the certified information (execute the company deletion process in FIG. 12(c) from the company deletion button 1103 in FIG. 11, and the company registration process in FIG. 12(b) from the company registration button 1102 in FIG. 11). The telephone number item 206 and the representative name item 207 are only registered and are not used for issuing the measurement slip / delivery note with certificate of origin. The value of the remarks column item 208 is left blank for the time being, and will be reserved as an input column for life cycle GHG (GHG: greenhouse gas) measures in the future. The certificate of origin form number item 220 will be described later. The items of the company basic information 200 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2(a) and may be changed as necessary.

[0025] As shown in FIG. 2B, the transportation vehicle information 210 includes an affiliation item 211, a vehicle type item 212, a vehicle number item 213, an unladen weight item 214, a vehicle count item 215, and the like. The value of the affiliation item 211 cannot be input directly because the affiliation item 211 of the transportation vehicle information 210 is automatically linked to the company name item 201 of the company basic information 200 and registered (see step S1303 in FIG. 13). The values ​​of the vehicle type item 212 and the vehicle number item 213 can be edited by adding / editing the transportation vehicle information, which will be described later (see the explanation of step S1303 in FIG. 13). As described above, the value of the unladen weight item 214 cannot be directly input because the weight of the transport vehicle 109 measured by the weighing scale 108 when no wood biomass 110 is loaded on the transport vehicle 109 in Figure 1 is registered as the unladen weight (see the explanation of step S1304 in Figure 13). The value of the vehicle count item 215 is reset to 0 when the transport vehicle information 210 is registered and every month, and is counted up each time a measurement slip / delivery note with proof of origin is issued by the measurement slip / delivery note with proof of origin issuance process described below (see the explanation of step S1407 in Figure 14). The items of the transportation vehicle information 210 are not limited to those shown in FIG. 2(b) and may be changed as necessary.

[0026] Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing the relationship between distribution routes of woody biomass materials and certificate of origin forms. As shown in the figure, various distribution routes exist between the time when woody biomass, for example, felled from a wood material producer in a forest, is delivered to a power generation company as woody biomass fuel. Depending on the type of woody biomass and the distribution stage of the distributor, the format of the certificate of origin handed over from the current company (company) to the next distributor also varies.

[0027] In an embodiment of the present invention, the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 of the wood biomass origin certification information processing device 100 operating at one distributor shown in Figure 1 can generate certificate of origin data containing the certificate of origin of the wood biomass 110 delivered by the company in a certificate of origin format corresponding to the type of wood biomass 110 and the distribution stage of the distributor, based on the net weight, when the net weight of the wood biomass 110 delivered from the company's transport vehicle 109 is measured by the weighing device 108 at the distributor, the basic company information stored in the first memory unit 104, the transport vehicle information stored in the second memory unit 105, and the pre-stored information of the distributor, as described above. The following describes the forms corresponding to each certificate of origin format.

[0028] If we focus on the first distributor 304 in Figure 3, which is a lumber company, and the woody biomass 110 in Figure 1 is wood derived from so-called thinning materials from forests, and the company that supplies the woody biomass 110 to the first distributor 304 is the first wood material producer 301, which is a material producer of wood derived from thinning materials from forests, the certificate of origin form 310 (#1) of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 includes at least a certification that all of the woody biomass 110 delivered is wood derived from thinning materials from forests, a clear statement of the separate management of the woody biomass 110, the name of the distributor to which the woody biomass 110 is sold, the sales quantity of the woody biomass 110, and information regarding the felling location and felling area of ​​the woody biomass 110. Here, "wood derived from thinning materials from forests, etc." refers to thinning materials, removal cutting materials, forests subject to forest management plans, protected forests, or national forests, and more specifically refers to the following wood: 1. Thinned wood For the purpose of healthy forest development, wood generated through felling carried out in forests where competition between standing trees has begun due to stagnation, where the felling rate in terms of timber volume is 35% or less, and where it is deemed certain that the forest will re-stagnate approximately five years after the year of felling. This includes cutting by thinning (cutting carried out to remove trees that hinder the growth of target tree species in forests before they become congested, in order to promote the healthy growth of target tree species). 2. Timber harvested from forests by methods other than those mentioned in 1 above Timber that is harvested and produced from any of the forests described in 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 below (only those whose land continues to be forest after harvesting) by a method other than 1. above, in accordance with operational practices properly established in accordance with forest-related laws and regulations. 2.1 Forests subject to forest management plans approved under Article 11, Paragraph 5 of the Forest Act (Act No. 249 of 1951) (including forest operation plans that are still governed by previous practices pursuant to Article 8 of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act Partially Amending the Forest Act (Act No. 20 of 2011) (hereinafter referred to as "forest management plans"). 2.2 Protection forests designated pursuant to Article 25 or Article 25-2 of the Forest Act and forests within security facility areas designated pursuant to Article 41 of the same Act (hereinafter referred to as "protection forests, etc."). 2.3 Forests subject to the National Forest Management Implementation Plan set forth in Article 12, Paragraph 1 of the National Forest Administration and Management Regulations (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Instruction No. 2 of 1999) and the Public Forest Management Plan set forth in Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Procedures for Enforcement of the Public Forest Management Act (Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Instruction No. 11 of 1955). In the following explanation, the above 1 and 2 (2.1, 2.2, 2.3) will be collectively referred to as "wood derived from thinned materials, etc. from forests."

[0029] Fig. 4 is a diagram showing a specific data configuration example of the certificate of origin form 310(#1) shown in Fig. 3, which is a certificate of origin (measurement slip and delivery note with certificate of origin to be described later) displayed on a touch panel display 1005 (see Fig. 10) to be described later or printed on paper by a printer 1002 (see Fig. 10) to be described later based on the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 in Fig. 1. This certificate of origin form 310(#1) complies with Appendix 1 described in the Forestry Agency guidelines mentioned above.

[0030] The header item 401 contains the name of the distributor (indicated by "Dear Customer") (the company name of the first distributor 304) which is stored separately, a certification that all of the wood biomass 110 delivered is wood derived from thinning materials from forests, etc., and a clear description of the separate management of the wood biomass 110.

[0031] The date field 402 and the time field 403 are automatically filled with the values ​​at the time when the measurement was performed.

[0032] The value of the tree species item 205 pre-stored in the first storage unit 104 by the company basic information registration unit 101 in Fig. 1 is read out and automatically inserted into the tree species item 404. Alternatively, a plurality of tree species may be registered as the tree species item 205, and a pull-down menu for selecting one of the plurality of tree species may be displayed in the tree species item 404 as shown in Fig. 4. Furthermore, or alternatively, the tree species item 404 may be printed as a blank field, and the driver of the transport vehicle 109 (Fig. 1) or a checker at the distribution office may handwrite the value each time.

[0033] Although not shown, the type item 405 displays a pull-down menu for selecting one of the options, such as "thinned wood," "cutting wood," "forests subject to forest management plan," "protected forest," and "national forest," as the type of woody biomass 110 (FIG. 1). Alternatively, the type item 405 may be printed as a blank field, and the driver of the transport vehicle 109 (FIG. 1) or a checker at the distribution office may handwrite the type each time.

[0034] The value of the vehicle number item 213 stored in the second memory unit 105, which is, for example, an IC card carried by the driver of the transport vehicle 109, by the transport vehicle information registration unit 102 in Figure 1 is read from the IC card and automatically inserted into the vehicle number item 406 when the driver inserts it into an IC card interface (IC card reader) not specifically shown when the transport vehicle 109 is weighed using the weighing scale 108.

[0035] The value of the transporter item 407 is printed or the like as a blank column, and the driver of the transport vehicle 109 (FIG. 1) stamps or handwrites his / her signature each time. Alternatively, the transporter may be registered in advance, for example, on an IC card by the transport vehicle editing process (steps S1303 and S1308 in FIG. 13) described later, and the information may be read from the IC card and automatically printed at the time of weighing.

[0036] The value of the checker item 408 is also printed or the like as a blank column, and the person in charge at the distribution establishment stamps or writes it by hand or the like each time. Alternatively, the checker name may be registered in advance by the company information registration process (see step S1201 in FIG. 12) described later, and the name may be printed automatically.

[0037] The total weight item 409 is automatically inserted with the total weight of the transportation vehicle 109 loaded with the woody biomass 110, which is measured by the weighing device 108 in FIG.

[0038] The value of the aforementioned empty vehicle weight item 214 (see Figure 2 (b)), which is registered in the second memory unit 105, such as an IC card, by the transport vehicle information registration unit 102 in Figure 1, is read and automatically inserted into the empty vehicle weight item 410.

[0039] The weight of the transported wood biomass 110 (Figure 1), calculated by subtracting the value set in the empty weight item 410 from the value set in the gross weight item 409, is automatically inserted in the net weight item 411.

[0040] The remarks column item 412 may be printed or otherwise left blank for the time being, and the driver of the transport vehicle 109 or the person in charge at the distribution business may write any content therein each time. As mentioned above, the remarks column item 208 may be used in the future as an input column for the life cycle GHG measures mentioned above.

[0041] The company name item 413 is automatically inserted by the company basic information registration unit 101 in Figure 1 reading out the value of the company name item 201 (see Figure 2 (a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, such as the aforementioned IC card or external storage device.

[0042] The company address item 414 is also automatically inserted with the value of the address item 203 (see FIG. 2(a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, such as the aforementioned IC card or external memory device, read by the company basic information registration unit 101 in FIG. 1.

[0043] The value of the certification number item 204 (see Figure 2 (a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, such as the aforementioned IC card or external memory device, is read and automatically inserted into the certification number item 415 by the company basic information registration unit 101 in Figure 1.

[0044] The values ​​of the forest location item 416, felling area item 417, felling permit date item 418, attached documents item 419, permit number item 420, issuer item 421, and source forest management signature item 422 may be printed as blanks, and may be written by hand each time by the driver of the transport vehicle 109 in Figure 1 or a staff member at the distribution facility. In the attachments field 419, relevant documents such as felling and post-felling afforestation notifications are entered, and copies of those documents are attached to the Certificate of Origin Form 310 (#1) (Appendix 1). Specifically, the attachments are attached according to the selections in the type field 405. The source forest management signature field 422 is filled in by hand when national forest is selected as the type field 405 .

[0045] In the left footer item 423, although not shown, the first two characters are automatically filled in with fixed characters unique to this certificate of origin form 310 (#1), and the next two alphabetical characters are automatically filled in with the company name abbreviation 202 (see FIG. 2(a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, for example the IC card mentioned above, read by the company basic information registration unit 101 in FIG. 1, and the next four digits, for example with a hyphen symbol between them, are automatically filled in with today's year (the last two digits of the Gregorian calendar year) and month, and further, for example, at the end, after the hyphen symbol, the value of the delivery note count 209 (see FIG. 2(a)) of the company basic information 200, which is reset monthly and updated as necessary by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 in FIG. 1 on the first memory unit 104, is automatically filled in.

[0046] The right footer item 424 automatically displays the value of the vehicle count 215 (see Figure 2 (b)) of the company basic information 200, which is reset monthly on the second memory unit 105 by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 in Figure 1 and updated as necessary.

[0047] Next, if we look again at the first distributor 304 in Figure 3, if the woody biomass 110 in Figure 1 is wood derived from felling in a forest related to general woody biomass for which there is no forest management plan as described above and a felling and afforestation notification is required, and the company supplying the woody biomass 110 to the first distributor 304 is the second wood material producer 302, which is a material producer of wood derived from felling in a forest related to general woody biomass as described above, the certificate of origin form 310 (#2) of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 at least includes a certificate that all of the woody biomass 110 delivered is general woody biomass, a clear statement of the separate management of the woody biomass 110, the name of the distributor to which the woody biomass 110 is sold, the sales quantity of the woody biomass 110, and information regarding the felling location and felling area of ​​the woody biomass 110. Here, "general woody biomass" refers to woody biomass other than the above-mentioned woody biomass derived from thinning materials from forests and construction material waste, and is derived from the following wood materials, etc. 1. Lumber residues Remaining materials such as scraps, sawdust, and bark that are generated during wood processing. 2. Wood of other verifiable origin 2.1 Timber derived from felling in forests that do not have a forest management plan and for which a felling and afforestation notification is required. 2.2 Other wood that has not been subject to a felling and afforestation notification, such as trees from residential forests, standing trees in development areas, forest residues, roadside trees, pruned branches including fruit trees, and driftwood from dams. In the following explanation, the above 1 will be referred to as "lumber residues from lumbering and other processes related to general woody biomass," the above 2.1 will be referred to as "wood derived from felling in forests related to general woody biomass," and the above 2.2 will be referred to as "other wood related to general woody biomass."

[0048] Fig. 5 is a diagram showing a specific data configuration example of the certificate of origin form 310(#2) shown in Fig. 3, which is a certificate of origin (measurement slip and delivery note with certificate of origin to be described later) displayed on a touch panel display 1005 (see Fig. 10) or printed on paper by a printer 1002 (see Fig. 10) based on the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generating unit 103 in Fig. 1. This certificate of origin form 310(#2) complies with Appendix 1-1 of the Forestry Agency guidelines mentioned above.

[0049] In Fig. 5, the same items as in Fig. 4 are given the same reference numbers as in Fig. 4. The explanation of those items is omitted because they are the same as in Fig. 4. The only difference between Fig. 5 and Fig. 4 is the header item 501.

[0050] The header item 501 contains the name of the distributor (indicated by "Dear Customer") (the company name of the first distributor 304) which is stored separately, a certification that all of the wood biomass 110 delivered is general wood biomass, and a statement of the separate management of the wood biomass 110.

[0051] Next, if we look again at the first distributor 304 in Figure 3, if the woody biomass 110 in Figure 1 is, as mentioned above, a residential forest, standing trees in a development area, forest residues, street trees, or pruned branches including fruit trees, dam driftwood, or other wood related to general woody biomass for which there is no felling and afforestation notification, and the company that supplies the woody biomass 110 to the first distributor 304 is a third wood material producer 303 that is a material producer of the other wood related to the general woody biomass described above, the certificate of origin form 310 (#3) of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 includes at least a certificate that the woody biomass 110 being supplied is derived from the other wood related to the general woody biomass described above, the name of the distributor to which the woody biomass 110 is sold, the sales quantity of the woody biomass 110, and information regarding the location of generation and tree species of the woody biomass 110.

This certificate of origin form 310(#3) complies with Appendix 1-2 of the Forestry Agency guidelines mentioned above.

[0053] In Fig. 6, the same items as in Fig. 4 are given the same reference numbers as in Fig. 4. Explanations of those items are omitted as they are the same as in Fig. 4. Fig. 6 differs from Fig. 4 in a header item 601, a product name item 602, a generation location item 603 of the biomass, and a left footer item 604.

[0054] The header item 601 contains the name of the distributor (indicated as "Dear Customer") (the company name of the first distributor 304) which is stored separately, a certification that all of the wood biomass 110 delivered is general wood biomass and that the wood biomass 110 is derived from other wood related to general wood biomass (e.g., pruned branches), a clear statement that the wood biomass 110 will be managed separately, and an approval that the other wood related to general wood biomass (e.g., pruned branches) sold to the distributor will be used as raw material for producing biomass fuel chips, etc.

[0055] The item name item 602 contains the fixed text "pruning branches."

[0056] The item 603 for the location of generation of the biomass may be printed or otherwise left blank, and the driver of the transportation vehicle 109 in FIG. 1 may handwrite the location of generation of the woody biomass 110.

[0057] In the left footer item 604, the first two characters are automatically filled in with fixed characters unique to this certificate of origin form 310 (#3), the next two alphabetical characters are automatically filled in with the company name abbreviation 202 (see FIG. 2(a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, for example, the IC card mentioned above, read by the company basic information registration unit 101 of FIG. 1, similar to the left footer item 423 of FIG. 4, and the next four digits, for example, with a hyphen symbol between them, are automatically filled in with today's year (the last two digits of the Gregorian calendar year) and month (two digits), and further, for example, at the end, separated by a hyphen symbol, the value of the delivery note count 209 (see FIG. 2(a)) of the company basic information 200, which is reset monthly and updated as necessary in the first memory unit 104, is automatically filled in by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 of FIG. 1, similar to the left footer item 423 of FIG. 4.

[0058] Next, if we focus on the second distributor 307 in Figure 3, which is a chip processing company, and the woody biomass 110 in Figure 1 is wood derived from thinning materials from the forest described above, and the company supplying the woody biomass 110 to the second distributor 307 is the first wood material producer 301 described above, the certificate of origin form of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 is the same as the certificate of origin form 310 (#1) shown as an example in Figure 4 for the case in which the first wood material producer 301 supplies the woody biomass 110 to the first distributor 304, except that the distributor name in the header item 401 is different (the company names of the first distributor 304 and the second distributor 307 are different).

[0059] Furthermore, if we focus on the fourth distributor 305 in Figure 3, which is a chip processing company, and the woody biomass 110 in Figure 1 is wood derived from felling in a forest related to the general woody biomass described above, and the company supplying the woody biomass 110 to the fourth distributor 305 is the second wood material producer 302 described above, the certificate of origin form of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 is the same as the certificate of origin form 310 (#2) illustrated in Figure 5 for the case in which the second wood material producer 302 supplies the woody biomass 110 to the first distributor 304, except that the distributor name in the header item 501 is different (the company names of the first distributor 304 and the fourth distributor 305 are different). It should be noted that the fourth distributor 305 may be the same as the second distributor 307 .

[0060] Furthermore, if we focus on the fourth distributor 305 in Figure 3, when the wood biomass 110 in Figure 1 is other wood related to the general wood biomass described above, and the company supplying the wood biomass 110 to the fourth distributor 305 is the third wood material producer 303 described above, the certificate of origin form of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 is the same as the certificate of origin form 310 (#3) illustrated in Figure 6 for the case where the third wood material producer 303 supplies the wood biomass 110 to the first distributor 304, except that the distributor name in the header item 601 is different (the company names of the first distributor 304 and the fourth distributor 305 are different).

[0061] On the other hand, if we focus on the fourth distributor 305 in Figure 3, when the company supplying the wood biomass 110 to the fourth distributor 305 is the third distributor 306, which is a material producer of lumber residues generated by the first distributor 304 and produces lumber residues related to general wood biomass generated by the first distributor 304, the certificate of origin form 310 (#4) of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 includes at least a certification that all of the logs of the wood biomass 110 are wood derived from thinning materials from the forests mentioned above, wood derived from felling in the forests related to the general wood biomass mentioned above, or other wood related to the general wood biomass mentioned above, a clear statement of the separate management of the wood biomass 110, and basic company information, the name of the distributor to which the wood biomass 110 is sold, and information regarding the sales quantity of the wood biomass 110.

[0068] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing a specific data configuration example of the certificate of origin form 310(#5) shown in Fig. 3, which is a certificate of origin (measurement slip and delivery note with certificate of origin to be described later) displayed on a touch panel display 1005 (see Fig. 10) or printed on paper by a printer 1002 (see Fig. 10) based on the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generating unit 103 in Fig. 1. This certificate of origin form 310(#5) complies with Appendix 2-1 of the Forestry Agency guidelines mentioned above.

[0069] In Fig. 8, the same items as in Fig. 6 (including Fig. 4) are given the same reference numbers as in Fig. 6 (including Fig. 4). Explanations of those items are omitted because they are the same as in Fig. 6 (including Fig. 4). Fig. 8 differs from Fig. 6 (including Fig. 4) in a header item 801, a vehicle model item 802, and a left footer item 803.

[0070] The header item 801 contains the name of the distributor (indicated by "Dear Customer") (the company name of the fifth distributor 300) which is stored separately, a certificate that the wood biomass 110 being delivered is wood biomass derived from thinning materials from the forest as mentioned above, and a statement of separate management.

[0073] Finally, when attention is focused again on the fifth distributor 300 in FIG. 3, the woody biomass 110 is sawmill residues related to the general woody biomass described above, wood derived from felling in forests related to the general woody biomass described above, or other wood related to the general woody biomass described above, and the company that delivers the woody biomass 110 to the fifth distributor 300 is a second wood material producer 302, a third wood material producer 303, or a third distributor 306, each of which has the function of processing wood into chips, a fourth distributor 305 that processes wood from general woody biomass into chips, or Although not shown in the figure, in the case of a material storage business that, for example, temporarily collects and stores materials from the second wood material producer 302, the third wood material producer 303, or the third distributor 306 in order to collect and transport materials, the certificate of origin form of the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 includes at least a certification that all of the wood biomass 110 delivered is general wood biomass, a clear statement of the separate management of the wood biomass 110, the name of the distributor to which the wood biomass 110 is sold, and information regarding the sales quantity of the wood biomass 110.

[0074] Fig. 9 is a diagram showing a specific data configuration example of the certificate of origin form 310(#6) shown in Fig. 3, which is a certificate of origin (measurement slip and delivery note with certificate of origin to be described later) displayed on a touch panel display 1005 (see Fig. 10) or printed on paper by a printer 1002 (see Fig. 10) based on the certificate of origin data generated by the certificate of origin data generating unit 103 in Fig. 1. This certificate of origin form 310(#6) complies with Appendix 2-4 of the Forestry Agency guidelines mentioned above.

[0075] In Fig. 9, the same items as in Fig. 8 (including Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) are given the same reference numbers as in Fig. 8 (including Fig. 4 and Fig. 6). Explanations of those items are omitted because they are the same as in Fig. 8 (including Fig. 4 and Fig. 6). Fig. 9 differs from Fig. 8 (including Fig. 4 and Fig. 6) in a header item 901 and a left footer item 902.

[0076] The header item 901 contains the name of the distributor (written as "Dear Customer") (the company name of the fifth distributor 300) which is stored separately, a certification that all of the delivered wood biomass 110 is derived from general wood biomass, and a clear statement of separate management.

[0077] In the left footer item 902, the first two characters are automatically filled in with fixed characters unique to this certificate of origin form 310 (#6), and in the next two alphabetical characters, the company name abbreviation 202 (see FIG. 2(a)) stored in the first memory unit 104, for example, the IC card described above, is read and automatically filled in by the company basic information registration unit 101 in FIG. 1, as in the case of the left footer item 423 in FIG. 4, and the current year (the last two digits of the Gregorian calendar year) and month (two digits) are automatically filled in as the next four digits, for example, with a hyphen symbol between them, and further, at the end, for example, with the hyphen symbol between them, the value of the delivery note count 209 (see FIG. 2(a)) of the company basic information 200, which is reset every month and updated as necessary in the first memory unit 104, is automatically filled in by the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 in FIG. 1, as in the case of the left footer item 423 in FIG. 4.

[0078] FIG. 10 is a block diagram showing an example of a hardware configuration for implementing the functions of 101 to 106 shown in FIG. 1 with respect to the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100. As shown in FIG. This hardware comprises a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 1001, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 1002 for storing programs, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 1003 to which programs are loaded and executed from the ROM 1002, an external memory device 1004 that performs the functions of the first memory unit 104, the second memory unit 105, or the third memory unit 106 of Figure 1, a touch panel display 1005, a weighing device interface 1006 that communicates with the weighing device 108 of Figure 1, an IC card reader / writer 1007 that reads and writes company basic information 200 and transport vehicle information 210, etc. to an IC card 1012 carried by the driver of the transport vehicle 109, a printer 1008 that prints a weighing slip / delivery note with proof of origin, and a system bus 1009 that communicatively connects each of the devices 1001 to 1007 to each other.

[0079] 10, a weighing device 108 similar to that in Fig. 1 is equipped with an IC card reader 1011 into which the driver of a transport vehicle 109 inserts an IC card 1012 to read its contents, and a weighing device display 1013 that displays the results of weighing the net weight of woody biomass 110 by the weighing device 108, and each of these communicates with the woody biomass origin certification information processing device 100 via a weighing device interface 1006. Note that the weighing device display 1013 is not necessary.

[0080] FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of the screen configuration of the display screen of the touch panel display 1005 of FIG. By tapping the weighing execution button 1100, weighing is performed on the transport vehicle 109 mounted on the weighing scale 108 in Figure 10, and the net weight of the woody biomass 110 loaded on the transport vehicle 109 is measured. Based on the weighing results, a weighing slip / delivery note with certification of origin can be displayed on the touch panel display 1005 in Figure 10, printed out by the printer 1008, and saved in the external storage device 1004 in Figure 10. Company registration button 1101, company registration button 1102, company deletion button 1103, transportation vehicle edit button 1104, and certificate search button 1105 will be described later.

[0081] Fig. 12 is a flowchart showing an example of company registration / deletion processing. First, Fig. 12(a) is a flowchart showing an example of company registration processing. This flowchart shows processing in which the CPU 1001 in Fig. 10 reads out a company registration processing program stored in the ROM 1002 into the RAM 1003 and executes it when the company registration button 1101 is tapped on the touch panel display 1005 by an administrator of the distribution company or the like.

[0082] In this process, CPU 1001 executes a company information registration process (step S1201). Specifically, CPU 1001 causes the user to input the company's distribution establishment name, distribution establishment address, distribution establishment telephone number, etc., from a company information registration form displayed on touch panel display 1005, and stores the input contents in external storage device 1004 of FIG.

[0083] Fig. 12(b) is a flowchart showing an example of company registration processing. This flowchart shows processing in which the CPU 1001 in Fig. 10 reads a company registration processing program stored in the ROM 1002 into the RAM 1003 and executes it when the manager of the distribution company taps the company registration button 1102 on the touch panel display 1005. This company registration processing corresponds to the function of the basic company information registration unit 101 in Fig. 1.

[0084] In the flowchart of Fig. 12(b), first, the CPU 1001 judges YES in step S1210, and then causes the user to input each item of the company basic information 200 described in Fig. 2(a) using the company basic information registration form displayed on the touch panel display 1005. When the input is completed, the CPU 1001 stores the input company basic information 200 in the external storage device 1004 in Fig. 10, which corresponds to the first storage unit 104 in Fig. 1 (step S1211).

[0085] Next, based on the relationship between its own company and the company registered in step S1211, the CPU 1001 determines which of the certificate of origin forms 310 #1 to #6 described in Figure 3 will be used in the certificate of origin compatible measurement slip / delivery note issuance process (Figure 14) described below, and stores the determined number #1 to #6 in the certificate of origin form number item 220 of the company basic information 200 in the external storage device 1004 of Figure 10, which corresponds to the first memory unit 104 of Figure 1 (step S1212).

[0086] This completes the registration of one piece of company basic information 200. After that, CPU 1001 proceeds to the determination process of step S1210.

[0087] If it is desired to further register the basic company information 200 by, for example, screen input on the touch panel display 1005 (YES in step S1210), the CPU 1001 repeats the above-described process of registering the basic company information 200 in steps S1211 and S1212.

[0088] If the CPU 1001 does not desire to register any further company basic information 200, for example, by screen input on the touch panel display 1005 (the judgment in step S1210 is NO), the CPU 1001 terminates the company registration process shown in the flowchart of Figure 12(b) and returns the screen display of the touch panel display 1005 to the display example of Figure 11.

[0089] Fig. 12(c) is a flowchart showing an example of a company deletion process. This flowchart shows a process in which the CPU 1001 in Fig. 10 reads a company deletion process program stored in the ROM 1002 into the RAM 1003 and executes it when the manager of the distribution company taps the company deletion button 1103 on the touch panel display 1005.

[0090] In the flowchart of FIG. 12(c), first, CPU 1001 judges YES in step S1220, and then displays on touch panel display 1005 a list of companies stored in external storage device 1004 of FIG. 10, which corresponds to first storage unit 104 of FIG. 1, and allows the user to select a company to be deleted from this list (step S1221).

[0091] CPU 1001 deletes all of the transportation vehicle information 210 (FIG. 2(b)) that belongs to the company selected in step S1221 and that is stored in external storage device 1004 in FIG. 10 that corresponds to second storage unit 105 in FIG. 1 (step S1222).

[0092] Next, CPU 1001 deletes company basic information 200 (FIG. 2(a)) stored in external storage device 1004 of FIG. 10 corresponding to the first storage unit 104 of FIG. 1 in correspondence with the company selected in step S1221 (step S1223).

[0093] This completes the deletion of the company basic information 200 and the transportation vehicle information 210 for one company. After that, the CPU 1001 proceeds to the determination process of step S1220.

[0094] If the deletion of a company is further desired by, for example, screen input on touch panel display 1005 (YES in step S1220), CPU 1001 repeats the company deletion process in steps S1221, S1222, and S1223 described above.

[0095] If the CPU 1001 does not further desire to delete the company, for example, by screen input on the touch panel display 1005 (the judgment in step S1220 is NO), the CPU 1001 terminates the company deletion process shown in the flowchart of Figure 12(c) and returns the screen display of the touch panel display 1005 to the display example of Figure 11.

[0096] Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing an example of a transportation vehicle information editing process. This flowchart shows a process in which the CPU 1001 in Fig. 10 reads a transportation vehicle editing process program stored in the ROM 1002 into the RAM 1003 and executes it when the transportation vehicle editing button 1104 is tapped by the manager of the distribution company or the like on the touch panel display 1005. This transportation vehicle editing process corresponds to the function of the transportation vehicle information registration unit 102 in Fig. 1.

[0097] In the flowchart of Figure 13, first, the CPU 1001 displays on the touch panel display 1005 a list of companies stored in the external storage device 1004 of Figure 10, which corresponds to the first storage unit 104 of Figure 1, and allows the user to select from this list the company for which the user wishes to edit the transport vehicle information 210 (step S1301).

[0098] Next, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the addition of the transportation vehicle information 210 is desired, for example, by screen input from the touch panel display 1005 (step S1302).

[0099] If the addition of the transport vehicle information 210 is desired (the determination in step S1302 is YES), the CPU 1001 causes the user to input each item of the transport vehicle information 210 described in FIG. 2(b) except for the affiliation item 211, the empty weight item 214, and the vehicle-by-vehicle count item 215, by using the transport vehicle information registration form displayed on the touch panel display 1005. When the input is completed, the CPU 1001 stores the inputted company basic information 200 in the external storage device 1004 in FIG. 10 corresponding to the first storage unit 104 in FIG. 1. The CPU 1001 copies and stores the value of the company name item 201 (see FIG. 2(a)) of the company basic information 200 stored in the external storage device 1004 in FIG. 10 corresponding to the first storage unit 104 in FIG. 1 corresponding to the company selected in step S1301, into the affiliation item 211 of the company basic information 200 to be stored (step S1303).

[0100] Next, the CPU 1001 starts weighing by loading the vehicle to be registered that is not loaded with wood biomass 110 onto the weighing scale 108 in Figure 10, obtains the empty weight via the weighing scale interface 1006 in Figure 10, and stores it in the empty weight item 214 (see Figure 2(b)) of the transport vehicle information 210 stored in the external storage device 1004 in step S1303 (step S1304).

[0101] Thereafter, the CPU 1001 stores in the new IC card 1012 inserted into the IC card reader / writer 1007 of FIG. 10 the transport vehicle information 210 for each item other than the vehicle count item 215 of FIG. 2(b) stored in the external memory device 1004 in step S1303, and the company basic information 200 for each item other than the telephone number item 206, representative name item 207, and delivery note count item 209 of FIG. 2(a) stored in the external memory device 1004 corresponding to the company selected in step S1301 (step S1305).

[0102] If the addition of the transportation vehicle information 210 is not desired (NO in step S1302), the CPU 1001 skips the processes in steps S1303, S1304, and S1305 described above.

[0103] Next, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not editing of the transportation vehicle information 210 is desired, for example, by screen input from the touch panel display 1005 (step S1306).

[0104] If editing of the transportation vehicle information 210 is desired (the determination in step S1306 is YES), the CPU 1001 allows the user to select a transportation vehicle to be edited (step S1307). This selection may be performed by inserting the IC card 1012 carried by the transportation vehicle to be edited into the IC card reader / writer 1007 in Fig. 10, or by displaying on the touch panel display 1005 in Fig. 10 a list of transportation vehicles (transport vehicle information 210 with the company name set in the affiliation item 211 in Fig. 2(b)) of the company selected in step S1301 stored in the external storage device 1004 in Fig. 10 corresponding to the second storage unit 105 in Fig. 1, and allowing the user to select the transportation vehicle to be edited from this list.

[0105] The CPU 1001 reads out from the external storage device 1004 the values ​​of the vehicle type item 212 and the vehicle number item 213 that are set to editable in Fig. 2(b) of the transport vehicle information 210 corresponding to the transport vehicle selected in step S1307, and causes the vehicle to be edited by displaying an edit form with those values ​​entered on the touch panel display 1005. When the editing is complete, the CPU 1001 updates the edited transport vehicle information 210 on the external storage device 1004 in Fig. 10, which corresponds to the second storage unit 105 in Fig. 1 (step S1308).

[0106] Thereafter, the CPU 1001 updates the transportation vehicle information 210 edited in step S1308 on the IC card 1012 of the transportation vehicle to be edited that is inserted into the IC card reader / writer 1007 (step S1309).

[0107] If editing of the transportation vehicle information 210 is not desired (NO in step S1306), the CPU 1001 skips the processes in steps S1307, S1308, and S1309 described above.

[0108] Next, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not the deletion of the transportation vehicle information 210 is desired, for example, by screen input from the touch panel display 1005 (step S1310).

[0109] If the user desires to delete the transportation vehicle information 210 (the determination in step S1310 is YES), the CPU 1001 allows the user to select the transportation vehicle to be deleted (step S1311). This selection may be performed by inserting the IC card 1012 carried by the transportation vehicle to be deleted into the IC card reader / writer 1007 in Fig. 10, as in the case of step S1307, or by displaying on the touch panel display 1005 in Fig. 10 a list of transportation vehicles (transport vehicle information 210 with the company name set in the affiliation item 211 in Fig. 2(b)) of the company selected in step S1301 stored in the external storage device 1004 in Fig. 10 corresponding to the second storage unit 105 in Fig. 1, and allowing the user to select the transportation vehicle to be deleted from this list.

[0110] The CPU 1001 deletes the transport vehicle information 210 corresponding to the transport vehicle selected in step S1311 from the external storage device 1004 corresponding to the second memory unit 105 in Figure 1 (step S1312), and further deletes or initializes the contents of the corresponding IC card 1012 (step S1313).

[0111] If the deletion of the transportation vehicle information 210 is not desired (NO at step S1310), the CPU 1001 skips the processes at steps S1311, S1312, and S1313 described above.

[0112] Thereafter, the CPU 1001 determines whether or not an instruction to end the transportation vehicle information editing process has been given by screen input from the touch panel display 1005 (step S1314).

[0113] If the end of the transportation vehicle information editing process has not been instructed (NO at step S1314), the CPU 1001 returns to the process at step S1302 and repeats the above-mentioned series of processes for other transportation vehicles.

[0114] If an instruction to end the transportation vehicle information editing process has been issued (YES in step S1314), the CPU 1001 ends the transportation vehicle information editing process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 13 and returns the screen display of the touch panel display 1005 to the display example of FIG.

[0115] Fig. 14 is a flow chart showing an example of a measurement slip / delivery note issue process with proof of origin. This flow chart is automatically executed when the measurement execution button 1100 is tapped on the touch panel display 1005 by the manager of the distribution company or the driver of the transport vehicle 109 in Fig. 10, or when the IC card 1012 carried by the driver of the transport vehicle 109 is inserted into the IC card reader 1011 in Fig. 10, and is a process in which the CPU 1001 in Fig. 10 reads out a measurement slip / delivery note issue process program with proof of origin stored in the ROM 1002 into the RAM 1003 and executes it. This measurement slip / delivery note issue process with proof of origin corresponds to the function of the certificate of origin data generation unit 103 in Fig. 1.

[0116] In the flowchart of Figure 14, first, in response to, for example, the insertion of an IC card 1012 into an IC card reader 1011, the CPU 1001 reads the company basic information 200 (Figure 2(a)) and the transport vehicle information 210 (Figure 2(b)) stored in the IC card 1012 into the RAM 1003 (step S1401).

[0117] Next, the CPU 1001 reads the Certificate of Origin form number from the Certificate of Origin form number item 220 in the company basic information 200 read in step S1401, reads form data of the Certificate of Origin form 310 corresponding to that number, for example, from the ROM 1002 or the external storage device 1004 in Fig. 10, and displays the Certificate of Origin form 310 on the touch panel display 1005 in Fig. 10 (step S1402). As a result, any one of the Certificate of Origin forms 310 described in Fig. 4 to Fig. 9 is displayed on the touch panel display 1005.

[0118] At the same time, the CPU 1001 displays the header items, the company basic information 200 read into the RAM 1003 in step S1401, and the transport vehicle information 210 in the format of the certificate of origin form 310 described with reference to FIGS. 4 to 9 (step S1403).

[0119] Furthermore, the CPU 1001 causes the weighing device 108 to weigh the transport vehicle 109, and acquires the weighing result from the weighing device interface 1006. The CPU 1001 sets the acquired weighing result in the total weight item 409 of the certificate of origin form 310, sets the value of the unladen weight item 214 (FIG. 2(b)) of the transport vehicle information 210 read into the RAM 1003 in step S1401 in the unladen weight item 410 of the certificate of origin form 310, and sets the value obtained by subtracting the value of the unladen weight item 410 from the value of the total weight item 409 in the net weight item 411 of the certificate of origin form 310. The value of this net weight item 411 is also displayed on the weighing device display 1013 of FIG. 10 (step S1404).

[0120] Then, the CPU 1001 sets pull-down menus for the tree species item 404 (in the case of Figures 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9) and the type item 405 (in the case of Figures 4 and 5) of the certificate of origin form 310 displayed on the touch panel display 1005.

[0121] Thereafter, CPU 1001 waits for the form to be confirmed, for example, via a confirmation button on the screen of touch panel display 1005 (repeated determination of "unconfirmed" in step S1406).

[0122] When the form is confirmed (the determination in step S1406 is "confirmed"), the CPU 1001 counts up the values ​​of the delivery note count item 209 (FIG. 2(a)) in the company basic information 200 read into RAM 1003 in step S1401 and the vehicle count item 215 (FIG. 2(b)) in the transport vehicle information 210, and writes them back to the external storage device 1004 corresponding to the first memory unit 104 and the second memory unit 105 in FIG. 1 (step S1407).

[0123] Finally, the CPU 1001 stores the data of the confirmed certificate of origin form 310 in the external memory device 1004 corresponding to the third memory unit 106 in Figure 1, and prints the certificate of origin-compatible measurement slip / delivery note on the printer 1008 in Figure 10 based on that data (step S1408).

[0124] Thereafter, the CPU 1001 ends the origin proof compatible measurement slip / delivery note issuance process shown in the flowchart of FIG.

[0125] In the above-described embodiment, each company may be assigned two or more roles among the producers 301, 302, and 303 in FIG. 3. In this case, each company may be able to use multiple certificate of origin forms. 。

[0126] According to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to automatically create and print a measurement slip / delivery note with certification of origin at the same time as weighing wood biomass at each distribution stage, thereby greatly simplifying the work of creating certification of origin.
