Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a marine product data management system, a marine product data management method, and a program. [Background technology]

[0002] Marine products caught in fishing grounds are landed at fishing ports, auctioned at markets, and then shipped. Most markets still use handwritten slips for landing and auction, which creates problems such as administrative burdens and input errors.

[0003] In the fishing industry, there is a chronic lack of manpower due to depopulation and aging, forcing fisheries to operate with fewer people. At the same time, maintaining the prices of marine products is a challenge for the fishing industry. To maintain prices, it is necessary to adjust catch volumes, but with fewer people operating, it is difficult to even record catch volumes.

[0004] The revised Fisheries Act, which came into effect in December 2020, requires reporting catch volumes to local governments and other fisheries resource managers. The Fisheries Agency is also requiring fisheries cooperatives and markets to establish a system for collecting landing information as digital data by 2023. However, in reality, it is difficult for fishermen to individually record and report their catch volumes by hand. For this reason, fisheries cooperatives currently compile the results of fishery transactions through auctions and report them to resource managers (prefectures).

[0005] To address this situation, there are hopes for the emergence of systems that can automate the processes required for trading marine products as much as possible. Examples of such systems include automatic weighing systems and electronic bidding systems for marine products (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 6). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0007] To solve the problems facing the fishing industry as described above, it is necessary to automatically manage the entire process from the capture of marine products to their trading. However, it is difficult to comprehensively manage information on marine products from capture to trading using the automated auction systems, automated fish weighing systems, direct sales systems for fish caught, and data entry systems for fishing logs disclosed in Patent Documents 1 to 6. Regional and seasonal differences in the types of fish landed, the variety of sales formats (packed in ice, live fish boxes, sold by the fish), and the existence of different auction methods depending on the market and region are major barriers to the widespread adoption of such comprehensive management systems.

[0026] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or equivalent parts are designated by the same reference numerals.

[0027] As shown in Figure 1, producers board fishing boats 2 to catch seafood in fishing grounds and land the catch at port. The landed seafood is auctioned in the market, sold at retail stores, and then delivered to the final consumer.

[0028] The fishery product data management system according to this embodiment combines data on fishery products from when they are caught in fishing grounds to when they are landed, i.e., fishing ground and fishing data, with measurement data on the fishery products that are landed, and generates integrated data from these. This integrated data is used in trading processes such as auctions of fishery products.

[0029] [Basic configuration] First, the basic configuration of the seafood data management system according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in Fig. 1, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment includes a fishing ground and fishing effort data acquisition unit 10, a measurement data acquisition unit 20, a data integration unit 30, and an integrated data storage unit 40. The data integration unit 30 and the integrated data storage unit 40 are built on a server computer that manages seafood. Hereinafter, this server computer will be referred to as a seafood data management server 50.

[0030] [Fishing Grounds and Fisheries Data Collection Department] The fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 acquires fishing ground and fishing data 10a together with producer ID (IDentification) 10b. The fishing ground and fishing data 10a includes at least one of fishing ground data indicating the fishing ground where the marine products are harvested and fishing data indicating the fishing activity for harvesting the marine products. The producer ID 10b is producer identification data that identifies the producer who harvests the marine products. In other words, the producer ID 10b is a unique identification code assigned to each producer.

[0031] As shown in Figure 2, the fishing boat 2 is equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) system 2a, a fish finder 2b, and various sensors 2c for detecting fishing ground conditions such as tides and water temperature. The fishing boat 2 is also equipped with a fishing ground and fishing data generation unit 2d and a wireless transmission unit 2e that generate fishing ground and fishing data 10a. The fishing ground and fishing data generation unit 2d generates the fishing ground and fishing data 10a based on the detection results of the GPS system 2a, the fish finder 2b, and the various sensors 2c. The fishing ground and fishing data generation unit 2d also has a timer that measures time, and data indicating the date and time can be obtained from the time measured by the timer.

[0032] The fishing ground data includes not only data indicating the date and time, but also data indicating the weather conditions, oceanographic conditions, tidal currents, water temperature, and fish school data when the fishery products were caught. In Figure 2, these data are shown as date and time data, weather data, oceanographic conditions data, tidal current data, water temperature data, and fish school data.

[0033] The fishing data includes data indicating fishing methods, data indicating the track of fishing activities obtained from the GPS system 2a, and data indicating fishing waters. In Figure 2, these data are shown as fishing method data, track data, and fishing waters data. The fishing methods indicated by the fishing method data include various methods such as trawl net, purse seine, fixed net, gill net, longline, pole and line fishing, trawl, aquaculture, and diving.

[0034] The fish finder 2b may be capable of dividing the ocean into three layers, surface, mid-layer, and bottom layer, and detecting the size of the school of fish in each layer. In this case, the school of fish data included in the fishing ground data is divided into surface school of fish data, mid-layer school of fish data, and bottom school of fish data.

[0035] As shown in Figure 2, the fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b generated by the fishing ground and fishing data generation unit 2d are sent by wireless transmission from the wireless transmission unit 2e to the wireless receiving unit 11 provided in the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 installed on land. The fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 acquires the fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b received by the wireless receiving unit 11 and sends them to the data integration unit 30.

[0036] [Measurement data acquisition section] 1, when the marine product is landed, the measurement data acquisition unit 20 measures the marine product and acquires measurement data 20a of the marine product together with a producer ID 20b. The measurement data acquisition unit 20 includes a producer data acquisition unit 21, a measurement unit 22, and a measurement data generation unit 23.

[0037] The producer data acquisition unit 21 includes an IC card on which the producer ID 20b held by the producer who landed the seafood is recorded, and a reader (not shown) that reads the barcode in a non-contact manner. The barcode may be a two-dimensional barcode. The producer data acquisition unit 21 acquires the producer ID 20b read by the reader.

[0038] After the producer data acquisition unit 21 acquires the producer ID 20b, the measurement unit 22 starts measuring the seafood. The measurement unit 22 measures the seafood. When the seafood is landed, it is categorized into various units, such as live fish (in a box where it can swim), packed in ice, packed in a box, or in single fish units that are not packed in a box, depending on the type or season, and traded in these categorized units. In other words, the trading unit for seafood varies, such as a single fish or multiple fish in a box. The measurement unit 22 measures the seafood in this trading unit, for example, while it is still in the box.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 3(A), the measurement unit 22 includes a weight measurement unit 22a, a sensor unit 22b, a control unit 22c, a voice input unit 22d, and a display unit 22e.

[0040] The weight measurement unit 22a measures data indicating the weight of the marine product 4, i.e., the weight. The marine product 4 is placed in a measurement area Ar indicated by a dotted line on the weight measurement unit 22a for each transaction unit, and the weight is measured for each transaction unit. For example, if the transaction unit is one fish, the marine product 4 is placed in the measurement area Ar for each fish, and its weight is measured. Also, if the transaction unit is one box 5, the marine product 4 is placed in the measurement area Ar while still in the box 5, and its weight is measured.

[0041] Immediately after the marine product 4 is placed on the measuring table Tb in the measurement area Ar, the measuring table Tb of the weight measuring unit 22a will vibrate for a while due to the effect of the marine product 4 being placed thereon, making it difficult to measure the weight accurately. Therefore, the weight measuring unit 22a may be configured not to perform measurement until the vibration amplitude of the measuring table Tb falls within a certain range. Furthermore, even when the measuring table Tb is vibrating, the weight may be measured multiple times over a certain period of time and the average value of the measurement results may be calculated as the weight. Even if the marine product 4 is still alive and its movement causes the measuring table Tb to vibrate, the weight can be measured using similar information.

[0042] The weight measurement results of the marine products 4 for each transaction unit measured by the weight measurement unit 22a are sent to the control unit 22c.

[0043] The sensor unit 22b detects the shape, size, freshness, temperature, etc. of the seafood 4 placed in the measurement area Ar of the weight measurement unit 22a.

[0044] The sensor unit 22b includes a pair of cameras. The sensor unit 22b uses the pair of cameras to capture an image of the marine product 4 placed in the measurement area Ar. The captured image data of the marine product 4 is sent to the control unit 22c. The captured image data may be a still image or a video.

[0045] It is possible to identify the type of marine product 4 based on the image data captured by the camera. The control unit 22c has a built-in classifier (not shown) that determines the type of marine product 4 by machine learning, for example, deep learning. The classifier determines the type of marine product 4 based on the image data captured by the camera. If the marine product 4 is a fish, even the fish species can be determined.

[0046] That is, the measurement data acquisition unit 20 acquires imaging data of the marine product 4 as measurement data, and determines the type of the marine product 4 based on the imaging data.

[0047] Note that if the three-dimensional shape of the marine product 4 is not to be detected, only one camera may be used. It is possible to determine the type of marine product 4 even with image data without parallax. The type of marine product 4 may also be acquired by interpreting the voice input by the producer into the voice input unit 22d. In this case, since the same fish species may have different names depending on the region, or may have various names such as standard Japanese names and scientific names, the fish species input by voice may be converted into a standard name and this unified name may be used as the fish species data.

[0048] If imaging data from a pair of cameras is obtained, it is possible to detect the three-dimensional shape of the marine product 4 from the parallax between the cameras. It is also possible to generate a three-dimensional image or a three-dimensional video of the marine product 4 based on the imaging data.

[0049] Instead of the pair of cameras, a laser rangefinder may be provided that detects the three-dimensional shape of the marine product 4. These sensors that can detect the shape of the marine product 4 make it possible to detect data that indicates the shape and size of the marine product 4, such as the body length and body height of the marine product 4.

[0050] If the seafood 4 is placed in a box, the seafood 4 is photographed together with the box 5. The image data of the seafood 4 photographed by the camera is sent to the control unit 22c. The control unit 22c can determine the type of the box 5 based on the image data of the photographed box 5.

[0051] It is also possible to detect data indicating the freshness of the marine product 4, such as the color and luster, based on the image data captured by the camera.

[0052] The sensor unit 22b may also include a temperature sensor that detects the temperature of the seafood 4 and a lipid meter that measures the lipid content of the seafood 4. The temperature sensor may be, for example, an infrared temperature sensor. The infrared temperature sensor can detect the surface temperature of the seafood 4. The lipid meter measures, for example, the electrical resistance of the seafood 4 and detects the lipid content of the seafood 4 based on the electrical resistance value. These detection results are also data that indicate the freshness of the seafood 4. The detection results are sent to the control unit 22c.

[0053] The control unit 22c controls the entire measurement unit 22. The voice input unit 22d inputs the voice of the person performing the measurement with the measurement unit 22. The display unit 22e displays various information. The control unit 22c has a timer and can acquire date and time data when the measurement was performed.

[0054] Basically, the control unit 22c performs control based on voice data input from the voice input unit 22d, and causes the display unit 22e to display information to assist with measurement. For example, measurement of a seafood product by the measurement unit 22 is started by voice input of a command to start measurement into the voice input unit 22d. Then, a message prompting the producer to place the seafood product 4 in the measurement area Ar of the weight measurement unit 22a is displayed on the display unit 22e, and the producer, seeing the message, places the seafood product 4 in the measurement area Ar. This causes the control unit 22c to cause the weight measurement unit 22a and the sensor unit 22b to start measurement. Note that voice output may be used instead of a display.

[0055] When the control unit 22c receives the detection result of the weight of the marine product 4 from the weight measurement unit 22a and various detection results of the marine product 4 sent from the sensor unit 22b, the control unit 22c causes the display unit 22e to display the processing stage in the measurement unit 22 and the detection results detected by the sensor unit 22b, etc. This allows producers and the like to check these detection results.

[0056] There are various types of boxes into which the seafood 4 can be placed. Therefore, as described above, when the seafood 4 is placed in the box 5, the control unit 22c determines the type of box 5 into which the seafood 4 is placed based on the image capture results of the seafood 4. The control unit 22c stores the weight of the box 5 for each type. The control unit 22c identifies the type of box 5 from the image data and specifies the weight of the identified box 5 that has been registered in advance. The control unit 22c then calculates the weight of the seafood 4 by subtracting the weight of the identified box 5 from the weight sent from the weight measurement unit 22a.

[0057] Furthermore, if the seafood 4 is placed in a box 5 and water or ice is placed in the box 5, the sensor unit 22b estimates the weight of the water and ice in addition to the type of box 5 based on the image data of the seafood 4. The control unit 22c calculates the weight of the seafood 4 by subtracting the estimated weight of the box 5 and the weight of the water and ice from the weight sent from the weight measurement unit 22a. Machine learning, for example, deep learning, can be applied to identify the box 5 and estimate the weight of the water, ice, etc.

[0058] That is, when the marine product 4 is placed in the box 5, the measurement data acquiring unit 20 acquires the weight of the entire box 5 containing the marine product 4 and image data of the box 5 and its contents as measurement data. Then, the measurement data acquiring unit 20 calculates the weight of the marine product 4 by subtracting the weight of the box 5 and the parts of the box 5 other than the marine product 4, estimated from the image data, from the weight of the entire box 5.

[0059] In this way, by making it possible to apply various types of boxes 5 as a transaction unit, it becomes possible to ship small lots, i.e., each box 5. If it becomes possible to ship small lots, the discount rate can be reduced, and the unit price of the marine products 4 can be increased.

[0060] As shown in Figure 3(B), the control unit 22c transmits to the measurement data generation unit 23, in addition to the date and time data when the measurement was performed, fish species data indicating the type of seafood 4, number data indicating the number of seafood 4, weight data indicating the weight of the seafood 4, box type data indicating the type of box 5 in which the seafood 4 is placed, shape and size data indicating the shape and size of the seafood 4, and freshness data indicating the freshness of the seafood 4.

[0061] In addition, the control unit 22c may determine the quality or grade of the seafood 4 based on the detection results of the weight measurement unit 22a and the sensor unit 22b, and send the determination result to the measurement data generation unit 23 together with the detection results.

[0062] In this way, the measurement unit 22 can perform contactless measurement using an IC (Integrated Circuit) card or voice input, without having to press a control button or the like with dirty or wet hands.

[0063] The measurement data generating unit 23 generates the measurement data 20a of the marine product shown in Fig. 3(B) based on the data sent from the control unit 22c. Then, as shown in Fig. 1, the measurement data generating unit 23 associates the generated measurement data 20a with the producer ID 20b acquired by the producer data acquiring unit 21, and assigns an auction number 20c to this measurement data 20a.

[0064] [Data Integration Department] Returning to Figure 1, the data integration unit 30 acquires fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b from the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10, and also acquires measurement data 20a, producer ID 20b, and auction information 20c of the marine product 4 from the measurement data acquisition unit 20. The data integration unit 30 integrates the measurement data 20a of the marine product 4 with the fishing ground and fishing data 10a to generate integrated data 31 of the marine product 4.

[0065] Specifically, as shown in Fig. 4, the data integration unit 30 generates integrated data 31 using the producer IDs 10b and 20b as a key, based on the fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b sent from the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10, and the measurement data 20a, producer ID 20b, and auction number 20c sent from the measurement data acquisition unit 20. The integrated data 31 includes the producer ID 31a, auction number 31b, measurement data 31c, and fishing ground and fishing data 31d. The producer ID 31a is the same as the producer IDs 20b and 10b, the auction number 31b is the same as the auction number 20c, the measurement data 31c is the measurement data 20a, and the fishing ground and fishing data 31d is the same as the fishing ground and fishing data 31d.

[0066] The integrated data 31 is a compilation of information about the marine product 4 from the time it is caught until it is landed. By referring to this integrated data, information about the marine product 4 from the time it is caught until it is landed can be obtained.

[0067] In generating the integrated data 31, the date and time data included in the fishing ground and fishing data 10a may be compared with the date and time data included in the measurement data 20a. Also, the auction number 31b may be generated by the data integration unit 30 instead of the measurement data generation unit 23.

[0068] [Integrated Data Storage Unit] Returning to FIG. 1 , the integrated data storage unit 40 stores the integrated data 31 generated by the data integration unit 30. The integrated data 31 is generated for each marine product 4 that is a trading unit and accumulated in the integrated data storage unit 40. This results in a huge amount of integrated data 31. Therefore, the integrated data storage unit 40 needs a large capacity to store a huge amount of integrated data 31.

[0069] The integrated data storage unit 40 also stores marine product data indicating data on the producers who catch the marine products 4. The producer data includes personal information such as the producer's name, address, and affiliation. The producer data also includes the producer ID 31a, and the producer data can be obtained using the producer ID 31a as a key.

[0070] This integrated data 31 is used when trading the marine products 4 after landing, that is, when auctioning, etc. For this reason, each marine product 4 is referenced using the auction number 31b as a key.

[0071] [Hardware configuration] The seafood data management server 50 including the data integration unit 30 and the integrated data storage unit 40 shown in FIG. 1 is realized, for example, by a computer having the hardware configuration shown in FIG. 5 executing a software program.

[0072] Specifically, the seafood data management server 50 is composed of a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 51 that controls the entire device, a main memory unit 52 that acts as a working area for the CPU 51, an external memory unit 53 that stores the operating program of the CPU 51, an input / output unit 54, a communication interface 55, and an internal bus 58 that connects these.

[0073] CPU 51 is a processor (arithmetic device) that executes a software program (hereinafter simply referred to as a "program"). Program 59 is loaded into main memory 52 from external memory 53. CPU 51 executes program 59 stored in main memory 52. This realizes the functions of data integration unit 30. The functions of integrated data providing unit 60, bid data receiving unit 61, selection unit 62, successful bid result data generating unit 63, successful bid result data providing unit 64, successful bid result data input unit 65, request receiving unit 66, document data generating unit 67, document data providing unit 68, integrated data reading unit 69, integrated data providing unit 70, big data generating unit 71, big data providing unit 72, predicted data generating unit 73, and predicted data providing unit 74, which will be described later, are also the same (see FIGS. 7 to 13).

[0074] The main memory unit 52 is composed of RAM (Random Access Memory) etc. A program 59 of the CPU 51 is loaded into the main memory unit 52 from the external memory unit 53. The main memory unit 52 is also used as a working area (temporary data storage area) for the CPU 51.

[0075] The external storage unit 53 is composed of a non-volatile memory such as a flash memory, a hard disk, etc. A program 59 to be executed by the CPU 51 is stored in advance in the external storage unit 53. The external storage unit 53 realizes the function of the integrated data storage unit 40.

[0076] The input / output unit 54 is an interface for inputting and outputting data to and from external devices. In this embodiment, the input / output unit 54 is connected to the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 and the measurement data acquisition unit 20. The fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b sent from the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10, and the measurement data 20a, producer ID 20b and auction number 20c sent from the measurement data acquisition unit 20 are input via the input / output unit 54.

[0077] The communication interface 55 is an interface for a communication network. Data communication with a communication terminal and data communication with other server computers is performed via the communication interface 55. The fishing ground and fishing effort data acquisition unit 10 and the measurement data acquisition unit 20 may be connected to the fishery product data management server 50 via the communication interface 55.

[0078] The seafood data management server 50 may further include an operation unit for inputting operation inputs, a display unit for displaying output, and an audio input / output unit for audio input / output.

[0079] [Fishery product data management processing] Next, the operation of the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment, that is, the seafood data management process (fish product data management method) executed by the seafood data management system 1 will be described.

[0080] After the fishing boat 2 leaves port and engages in fishing activities in a fishing ground, as shown in Fig. 6, the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 receives fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b transmitted from the wireless transmission unit 2e installed on the fishing boat 2, and acquires the fishing ground and fishing data 10a together with the producer ID 10b (step S1; fishing ground and fishing data acquisition step). The fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 sends the acquired fishing ground and fishing data 10a and producer ID 10b to the data integration unit 30 (step S2). In other words, steps S1 and S2 are performed during fishing activities.

[0081] The fishing boat 2 returns to port and unloads the caught marine products 4. During this unloading, the producer data acquisition unit 21, which is part of the measurement data acquisition unit 20, acquires the producer ID by reading an IC card or barcode held by the producer (step S3).

[0082] Next, the marine products 4 are divided into transaction units, and the measurement unit 22 constituting the measurement data acquisition unit 20 measures the marine products 4 for each transaction unit. That is, the measurement data acquisition unit 20 measures the marine products 4 for each transaction unit and acquires the measurement data 20a together with the producer ID 20b (step S4; measurement data acquisition step). After completing acquisition of the measurement data 20a, the measurement data acquisition unit 20 transmits the acquired measurement data 20a, producer ID 20b, and auction number 20c to the data integration unit 30 (step S5).

[0083] Next, as shown in FIG. 4, the data integration unit 30 integrates the producer IDs 10b, 20b, the fishing ground and fishing work data 10a, and the measurement data 20a to generate integrated data 31 (step S6; data integration step). The data integration unit 30 stores the generated integrated data 31 in the integrated data storage unit 40 (step S7). Thereafter, the seafood data management system 1 ends the seafood data management process. The integrated data 31 stored in the integrated data storage unit 40 is used when the corresponding seafood is traded at an auction or the like.

[0084] [Electronic bidding] After landing, the marine products 4 are put up for auction. The marine product data management system 1 according to this embodiment is capable of bidding by electronic bidding. The marine product data management server 50 is connected to a communication terminal 80 via a communication network 3 so as to be able to communicate data therewith. The communication terminal 80 is a communication terminal connectable to the communication network 3 and may be a personal computer, a mobile terminal, or a smartphone. This also applies to communication terminals 81 to 85, which will be described later. The communication terminals 80 include those of brokers who conduct bidding by electronic bidding. The communication terminals 80 may also include those of entities other than brokers, such as producers, employees of fisheries cooperatives, retailers, and consumers. An application (app) for conducting electronic bidding is installed on these communication terminals 80.

[0085] As shown in Figure 7, the seafood data management server 50 includes, in addition to a data integration unit 30 and an integrated data storage unit 40, an integrated data providing unit 60, a bid data receiving unit 61, a selection unit 62, a winning bid result data generating unit 63, and a winning bid result data providing unit 64.

[0086] The integrated data providing unit 60 provides the integrated data 31 to the communication terminal 80 as seafood trading data indicating the trading status of the seafood 4. The communication terminal 80 displays a list of the seafood producer ID 31a, auction number 31b, measurement data 31c, and fishing ground and fishing data 31d included in the integrated data 31. The integrated data providing unit 60 can provide the integrated data 31, that is, the seafood trading data indicating the trading status of the seafood 4, to the communication terminal 80, regardless of whether the communication terminal 80 belongs to a broker or not.

[0087] At the communication terminal 80 of a broker participating in the auction, the broker operates the terminal 80 to input a bid price for the seafood he or she wishes to purchase based on the displayed information. When the bid price is input, the electronic bidding application of the communication terminal 80 generates bid data including the auction number, the bidder (broker), and the bid price, and transmits the bid data to the seafood data management server 50 via the communication network 3.

[0088] The bid data receiving unit 61 receives bid data including the auction number, bidder, and bid price sent from the communication terminal 80. The bid data receiving unit 61 receives bid data for the same seafood from multiple communication terminals 80 for a predetermined period of time. When the predetermined period has elapsed, the bid data receiving unit 61 stops receiving bid data.

[0089] The selection unit 62 selects the bid data with the highest bid price from the bid data accepted by the bid data acceptance unit 61. If one piece of bid data is accepted for the same seafood 4, the selection unit 62 selects that bid data for that seafood 4. If multiple pieces of bid data are accepted, the selection unit 62 selects the bid data with the highest bid price from the multiple pieces of bid data.

[0090] The bidding result data generation unit 63 generates bidding result data 31e based on the bid data selected by the selection unit 62. The bidding result data 31e includes the bidding number, data indicating the successful bidder, and data indicating the successful bid price.

[0091] The data integration unit 30 adds the bidding result data 31e to the integrated data 31. Specifically, based on the bidding result data 31e sent from the bidding result data generation unit 63, the data integration unit 30 adds the bidding result data 31e to the integrated data 31 having the same bid number 31b.

[0092] The bidding result data providing unit 64 provides the bidding result data 31e selected by the selecting unit 62 to the communication terminal 80. Specifically, the bidding result data providing unit 64 inputs the bidding result data 31e from the bidding result data generating unit 63, and transmits the bidding result data 31e to the communication terminal 80 via the communication network 3.

[0093] The communication terminal 80 receives the bidding result data 31e for the marine product 4 and displays the bidding result indicated by the data. Based on the received bidding result data 31e, the communication terminal 80 displays the successful bid number, the successful bidder, and the successful bid price. This allows brokers, market staff, retailers, and consumers using the communication terminal 80 to check the bidding status of the marine product 4 in the electronic bidding auction.

[0094] Electronic bidding is conducted using the seafood data management system 1 configured as described above. The successful bidder's seafood 4 is shipped to the successful bidder. Shipping data indicating the shipping details may be added to the integrated data.

[0095] [Send to financial management server] The bidding result data provider 64 transmits the bidding number 31b of the successful bid and the bidding result data 31e to a financial management server 90 that manages the finances of the fishery cooperative as transaction data for the marine product 4. The financial management server 90 generates financial statements such as a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement based on the sales data, including the successful bid price, contained in the bidding result data 31e.

[0096] [Addition of traditional auction winning bids] The seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment can also handle auctions other than conventional electronic bidding (normal auctions). As shown in Fig. 8, the seafood data management server 50 is connected to a communication terminal 81 of an administrator of the auction in the market, for example, an employee of a fisheries cooperative, via a communication network 3. An application for adding successful bids in normal auctions is installed on the communication terminal 81.

[0097] The seafood data management server 50 includes a data integration unit 30, an integrated data storage unit 40, an integrated data providing unit 60, a successful bid result data providing unit 64, and a successful bid result data input unit 65.

[0098] The integrated data providing unit 60 provides the integrated data 31 to the communication terminal 81 as marine product transaction data indicating the transaction status of the marine product 4. The communication terminal 81 displays a list of the marine product producer ID 31a, auction number 31b, measurement data 31c, and fishing ground and fishing work data 31d included in the integrated data 31.

[0099] When a regular auction, not an electronic bidding, is held for a seafood product 4 displayed on the list and the seafood product 4 is sold, the administrator of the auction operates the communication terminal 81 to generate successful bid data 31e including the auction number, the successful bidder, the successful bid price, etc. of the seafood product 4. The communication terminal 81 sends this successful bid data 31e to the seafood product data management server 50 via the communication network 3.

[0100] The bidding result data input unit 65 inputs the data sent from the communication terminal 81, i.e., the bidding result data 31e when the seafood 4 is sold in the auction. The data integration unit 30 adds the bidding result data 31e to the integrated data 31 having the same auction number 31b, using the auction number 31b as a key. The integrated data providing unit 60 may provide the integrated data 31 to which the bidding result data 31e has been added to the communication terminals 80 and 81 as seafood transaction data indicating the transaction status of the seafood 4. This allows brokers, market staff, retailers, and consumers using the communication terminals 80 to check the bidding status of the seafood 4 in the electronic bidding auction.

[0101] According to the seafood data management system 1 having this configuration, even when a regular auction, not an electronic bidding, is held for the seafood 4, the bidding results can be added and integrated into the integrated data 31. Since only the bidding result data 31e is added, it is possible to add the bidding result data 31e in the same way as with electronic bidding, regardless of the bidding method.

[0102] [Send to financial management server] The bidding result data provider 64 transmits the bidding result data 31e to a financial management server 90 that manages the finances of the fishery cooperative as transaction data for the marine product 4. The financial management server 90 generates financial statements such as a balance sheet and a profit and loss statement based on the sales data, including the winning bid price, contained in the bidding result data 31e.

[0103] [Consolidation of bidding result data] As shown in Figure 9, the seafood 4 may be landed at a fishing cooperative's local market, then pass through several markets, including local fish markets, urban fish markets, and metropolitan fish markets, before reaching consumers via mass retailers and retail stores. In this case, multiple stages of auctions are held for the same seafood 4. At each stage, i.e., each time a seafood product is sold, the data integration unit 30 sequentially adds winning bid data 31e to the integrated data 31.

[0104] 9, for example, integrated data 31 can be generated by adding bidding result data D1 at a fishing cooperative production area market, bidding result data D2 at a regional fish market, bidding result data D3 at a city fish market, and bidding result data D4 at a metropolitan fish market in the order of bidding. When the marine product 4 is wholesaled from the regional fish market to a mass retailer or the like, the bidding result data D1 and D2 are added to the integrated data 31. When the marine product 4 is wholesaled from the city fish market to a mass retailer or the like, the bidding result data D1 to D3 are added to the integrated data 31.

[0105] Even if a multi-stage auction involves a mixture of electronic bidding and regular bidding, a seafood data management system 1 having both the configuration shown in Figure 7 and the configuration shown in Figure 8 can generate integrated data 31 in which multi-stage bidding result data 31e is linked, as shown in Figure 9.

[0106] [Provision of electronic document data] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment can provide electronic document data necessary for trading seafood 4. As shown in Fig. 10, the seafood data management system 1 includes an integrated data storage unit 40 and an integrated data providing unit 60, as well as a request receiving unit 66, a document data generating unit 67, and a document data providing unit 68.

[0107] The integrated data providing unit 60 transmits the integrated data 31 stored in the integrated data storage unit 40 to the communication terminal 82 via the communication network 3. The communication terminal 82 is a terminal owned by a producer, a market employee, or a broker. An electronic document data creation application is implemented in the communication terminal 82. The electronic document data creation application displays a list of the integrated data 31 on the communication terminal 82. The communication terminal 82 selects from the list the data of the broker included in the producer ID 31a, the bid number 31b, or the successful bid result data 31e of the integrated data 31 that is the target of electronic document data generation.

[0108] Furthermore, the type of electronic document data to be generated is selected on the communication terminal 82, and generation request data is generated that includes the producer ID 31a, the auction number 31b or the broker data and data indicating the type of electronic document. For example, types of electronic document data include a landing slip, a broker's bid form, a list of buyers, a sales result slip, a sales price invoice, etc. The generation request data is transmitted to the seafood data management server 50 via the communication network 3.

[0109] The request receiving unit 66 receives, from the communication terminal 82, data requesting the generation of electronic document data required for the transaction of the marine product 4, and accepts the request. The generation request data is sent to the document data generating unit 67.

[0110] The document data generation unit 67 reads, from the integrated data storage unit 40, the integrated data 31 corresponding to the producer ID 31a, the bid number 31b, or the broker data included in the production request data. Then, the document data generation unit 67 generates electronic document data of the type included in the production request data based on the integrated data 31 read from the integrated data storage unit 40. For example, if the requested electronic document data is a landing slip for a certain producer, the integrated data 31 is read with reference to the producer ID 31a, and the landing slip is generated based on the read integrated data 31. If the requested electronic document data is a slip showing the sales results of individual seafood products 4, the integrated data 31 is read with reference to the bid number 31b, and a slip is generated based on the read integrated data 31 and in the requested electronic document format. If the requested electronic document data is an invoice for the sales price to a broker, the integrated data 31 is read with reference to the broker data included in the successful bid result data 31e, and an invoice is generated based on the read integrated data 31. When there are a plurality of pieces of integrated data 31, the integrated data 31 may be sorted, for example, in chronological order.

[0111] Document data providing unit 68 provides the electronic document data generated by document data generating unit 67 to communication terminal 82 that made the generation request via communication network 3. The person who requested the generation of electronic document data then prints out the electronic document data provided to communication terminal 82 and performs subsequent procedures.

[0112] [Traceability] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment enables traceability, allowing purchasers of the seafood 4 to trace back to where the seafood 4 was caught, landed, and sold.

[0113] 11 , in response to a request from the communication terminal 83 of a purchaser who has purchased the seafood 4, the seafood data management server 50 provides the integrated data 31 as traceability data that traces the process of the seafood 4 from when it was caught until it reached the purchaser. Specifically, the seafood data management server 50 includes a request receiving unit 66, an integrated data reading unit 69, and an integrated data providing unit 70.

[0114] The request receiving unit 66 receives a request from the communication terminal 83. This request includes the bid number 31b. The integrated data reading unit 69 reads out the integrated data having the same bid number 31b. The integrated data providing unit 70 transmits the read integrated data 31 to the communication terminal 83 via the communication network 3.

[0115] A traceability application is installed in the communication terminal 83. When the communication terminal 83 receives the integrated data 31, the provided integrated data 31 is displayed.

[0116] Based on the displayed integrated data 31, i.e., fishing ground and fishing data 31d, measurement data at the time of landing 31c, and successful bid data 31e, the purchaser can confirm when, where, by what fishing method and environment the purchased marine product 4 was caught, when it was landed, what the measurement results were at the time of landing, and what the successful bid details were.

[0117] [Utilizing big data for resource management] In the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment, a large amount of integrated data 31 is accumulated as big data in the integrated data storage unit 40. The seafood data management system 1 enables the utilization of the accumulated big data.

[0118] For example, as shown in FIG. 12, big data including a large amount of integrated data 31 can be provided to a server computer of a resource manager, such as a local government, that manages marine resources around fishing grounds, i.e., a resource management server 91.

[0119] More specifically, the seafood data management system 1 includes a request receiving unit 66, a big data generating unit 71, and a big data providing unit 72.

[0120] The request receiving unit 66 receives a request to transmit big data for resource management from a communication terminal 84 of an employee of the fisheries cooperative.

[0121] The big data generation unit 71 generates big data for a resource manager who manages the marine resources from which the marine products 4 are harvested, based on the integrated data 31 accumulated in the integrated data storage unit 40. The integrated data 31 that is the subject of big data generation may be data generated during a specified period. Each piece of integrated data 31 is organized according to the auction number 31b. The big data generation unit 71 sorts the integrated data 31, for example, into data by water area or data by fish species, to generate big data for resource management.

[0122] The big data providing unit 72 transmits the big data generated by the big data generating unit 71 to the resource management server 91 via the communication network 3 as big data for resource management.

[0123] In addition, if the resource manager rearranges the integrated data 31 into data for resource management, the fishery product data management server 50 may send the integrated data 31 accumulated in the integrated data storage unit 40 to the resource management server 91 as is.

[0124] [Catch forecast] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment can predict the future catch volume of the seafood 4. To achieve this prediction, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment includes a request receiving unit 66, a predicted data generating unit 73, and a predicted data providing unit 74, as shown in FIG.

[0125] The request receiving unit 66 receives a request for generating forecast data from a communication terminal 85 of a purchaser or the like via the communication network 3. The forecast data generating unit 73 generates forecast data of the future catch amount of the marine product 4 based on the accumulation result of the integrated data 31 accumulated in the integrated data storage unit 40.

[0126] For example, as shown in Figure 14, if the catch volume of a certain fish species, seafood A, B, and C, has periodically increased and decreased over the course of a year in the past based on integrated data 31, prediction data for the catch volumes of seafood A, B, and C can be generated based on the periodically fluctuating catch volumes.

[0127] The forecast data providing unit 74 provides the forecast data generated by the forecast data generating unit 73 to the communication terminal 85 of the producer via the communication network 3.

[0128] The forecast data is displayed on the communication terminal 85. For example, a graph like the one shown in Fig. 14 may be displayed. After viewing the displayed forecast data, producers can create fishing plans that will increase the catch volume based on the forecast data for the catch volumes of marine products A, B, and C.

[0129] The prediction data generation unit 73 can generate a variety of prediction data. It may determine conditions for a large catch based on the date and time data, fish species data, weather data, oceanographic data, and water temperature data included in the fishing ground and fishing data 10a, select dates that meet these conditions based on weather forecasts, and provide those dates as prediction data. This enables highly accurate catch predictions based on weather and oceanographic data. Furthermore, machine learning, such as deep learning, can be used for such predictions.

[0130] The Fisheries Products Data Management System 1 not only provides forecast data but can also create fishing plans, i.e., determine fishing dates, based on the forecast data. In order to prevent prices from dropping due to overfishing, it is desirable to create plans that allow fishing to take place on dates when a catch is expected that will keep prices at an appropriate level.

[0131] [Consumer Applications] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to this embodiment can be used to create applications for purchasers, for example, consumers. The fishing ground and fishing effort data 10a and measurement data 20a provide useful information for purchasers when purchasing the seafood 4. In this case, the seafood data management system 1 can have the configuration shown in FIG. 11.

[0132] The integrated data providing unit 60 of the seafood data management server 50 provides the integrated data 31 to the purchaser's communication terminal 83. The integrated data 31 is displayed on the communication terminal 83. If a purchaser views the integrated seafood data 31 and selects the seafood 4 they wish to purchase, the fishing cooperative can sell the seafood 4 directly to the purchaser. This application can also be used to communicate with the purchaser, for example, by providing recommended cooking methods for the seafood 4. This makes it possible to expand demand for the seafood 4, such as by attracting new consumers. If a consumer desires to know more about the producer, producer data may be provided to the consumer.

[0133] As described above in detail, according to the above embodiment, the producer IDs 10b, 20b that identify the producers who harvest the marine product 4, the measurement data 20a of the marine product 4, and the fishing ground and fishing data 10a at the time the marine product 4 was harvested are integrated to generate integrated data 31 of the marine product 4 from harvest to trade, and stored in the integrated data storage unit 40. Using this integrated data 31, the process of the marine product 4 from harvest to trade can be automatically and comprehensively managed.

[0134] In the above embodiment, the measurement data 20a includes data indicating the type of seafood 4, as well as data indicating the shape, size, weight, freshness, temperature, lipid content, and imaging data for the seafood 4.

[0135] However, the present invention is not limited to this, and it is sufficient if the data includes at least one of data indicating the shape of the seafood 4, data indicating the size, data indicating the weight, data indicating the freshness, data indicating the temperature, data indicating the fat content, and image data.

[0136] Furthermore, in the above embodiment, it is possible to determine the type of marine product 4 from the imaging data. When the type is recognized by voice input, it is possible to eliminate regional differences in the names of marine product 4 and manage the types of marine product 4 using a unified name.

[0137] Alternatively, the weight of the marine product 4 may be measured while it is still in the box 5, and the box 5 may be identified from the image data, and the weight of the ice or other items in the box 5 may be estimated and subtracted to calculate the weight of the marine product 4. In this way, the weight of the marine product 4 can be accurately measured regardless of the type of box 5, without removing the marine product 4 from the box 5.

[0138] In the above embodiment, the fishing ground data includes at least one of data indicating weather conditions, data indicating sea conditions, data indicating tidal currents, data indicating water temperature, and data indicating schools of fish when the marine products 4 were caught, and the fishing data includes data indicating fishing methods, data indicating the track of the fishing activity, and data indicating the fishing area. The fishing ground and fishing data 10a may include only fishing ground data or only fishing data.

[0139] However, the present invention is not limited to this. The fishing ground data may include at least one of data indicating meteorological conditions, data indicating sea conditions, data indicating tidal currents, data indicating water temperatures, and data indicating schools of fish. The fishing data may include at least one of data indicating fishing methods, data indicating the track of the fishing activity, and data indicating the fishing area.

[0140] Furthermore, the marine product data management system 1 according to the above embodiment enables electronic bidding via multiple communication terminals 80. The successful bid data 31e from the electronic bidding is added to the integrated data 31 of the marine product 4. In this way, data on the trading stage of the marine product 4 can also be stored together with the fishing ground and fishing data 10a and the measurement data 20a. This makes it possible to collectively manage data on the marine product 4 from the harvesting stage to the trading stage.

[0141] Furthermore, according to the marine product data management system 1 according to the above embodiment, it is possible to add to the integrated data 31 successful bid result data 31e, which is the result of a normal auction that is not an electronic bidding.

[0142] In this way, it becomes possible to uniformly manage the successful bid data 31e of the marine products 4 regardless of the bidding method.

[0143] In this seafood data management system 1, each time the same seafood 4 goes through an auction, the bidding result data 31e is added to the integrated data 31. By referring to this integrated data 31, it is possible to know what market the seafood 4 went through and how it was sold.

[0144] Furthermore, the marine product data management system 1 according to the above embodiment can generate integrated data 31 that integrates fishing ground and fishing operation data 10a at the time the marine product 4 is caught and measurement data 20a of the marine product 4, and the integrated data 31 can be used as data for reporting to the resource manager of the marine resources from which the marine product 4 was caught (fishery report required by the revised Fisheries Act). This reduces the burden on fishery cooperatives that are obligated to submit reports.

[0145] Furthermore, according to the seafood data management system 1 of the above embodiment, the generated integrated data 31 can be provided as traceability data that traces the process of the seafood 4 from when it was caught until it reached the purchaser, in response to a request from the communication terminal 83 of the purchaser who purchased the seafood 4.

[0146] Furthermore, the marine product data management system 1 according to the above embodiment can predict the future landing amount of marine products 4, i.e., the catch amount. This makes it possible to plan fishing on dates and times when the catch amount is expected to be large.

[0147] In the above embodiment, the integrated data of the seafood 4 is managed by the seafood data management server 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the integrated data 31 of the seafood 4 may be shared and managed by a plurality of server systems. For example, the integrated data 31 may be managed by a blockchain. In this way, it is possible to prevent the integrated data 31 from being tampered with.

[0148] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to the above embodiment provides data on seafood 4 to various communication terminals. The provided data may include information that should be kept confidential, such as personal information, depending on the recipient. The seafood data management system 1 may also restrict the data provided by encrypting it depending on the recipient. The above-mentioned blockchain uses encryption technology that restricts the data that can be viewed.

[0149] The fishery product data management system 1 according to the above embodiment provides various benefits to those involved in the fishing industry. For example, producers who catch and land seafood4 enjoy the following benefits: (1) It is now possible to grasp trading prices in real time, which previously could only be obtained on paper from the next day onwards. (2) It will be easier to decide whether to go fishing the next day or later and to make fishing plans. (3) Based on the accumulated integrated data, fisheries management can be implemented in accordance with the revised Fisheries Law.

[0150] Fisheries cooperatives also have the following advantages: (1) Handwriting and manual input work in sales operations will be eliminated, resulting in improved efficiency and cost reduction in market operations. (2) Labor savings from handwritten record-keeping and manual computer input work, and reduction of input errors (3) By being freed from tedious administrative work, employees will be able to concentrate on tasks related to increasing the added value of marine products4 (branding, expanding sales channels, etc.). (4) It is possible to generate seafood data that complies with the new Wholesale Market Law.

[0151] In addition, buyers of marine products4, such as middlemen or consumers, have the following benefits: (1) It is possible to grasp the landing situation early, regardless of whether you are in a remote location or not. (2) The landing status of seafood4 can be checked from outside the market. This will enable us to respond to the trend of social change in the With / Post-COVID era. (3) Since information on marine products4 from multiple markets can be collected at once, the burden of collecting such information can be reduced. (4) It becomes possible to compare seafood4 in neighboring regions. (5) By adjusting the catch volume, it is possible to prevent the price of seafood4 from falling during times of overfishing. (6) It improves operational efficiency by reducing unnecessary travel and waiting time within the market (waiting time until the auction begins).

[0152] The benefits to resource managers include: (1) Management of fisheries resources will become easier based on the accumulated integrated data. (2) New measures and policies for managing fisheries resources can be formulated quickly. (3) By enabling centralized management of fishery products4 caught in the region, it will be possible to strengthen the industrial competitiveness of the local economy.

[0153] Furthermore, the seafood data management system 1 according to the above embodiment makes it possible to issue a certificate of origin required for seafood 4 intended for hotels and high-end restaurants.

As a result, food safety can be guaranteed and domestic sales and exports under strict international certification can be promoted.

[0154] Furthermore, if a consumer-oriented application is created and consumers can view the integrated data 31, it will be possible to appeal to consumers about the quality of each seafood product 4. This will make it possible to develop new consumers, increase demand for the seafood product 4, and is expected to lead to an increase in the price of the seafood product 4.

[0155] The seafood data management system 1 according to the above embodiment can be accessed by mobile devices owned by producers, fisheries cooperative employees, brokers, and consumers. Furthermore, applying the seafood data management system 1 does not require significant modifications to the fisheries cooperative's existing accounting system, i.e., financial management server. This allows for low initial implementation costs and maintenance costs.

[0156] The area in which the marine products 4 are managed in the marine products data management system 1 according to the above embodiment may be per fishery cooperative, per city, town, or village, or per prefecture. The wider the management area, the higher the utility value of the big data is expected to be.

[0157] In the above embodiment, the fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 and the measurement data acquisition unit 20 are not included in the fishery product data management server 50. However, the present invention is not limited to this. The fishing ground and fishing data acquisition unit 10 and the measurement data acquisition unit 20, excluding the producer data acquisition unit 21 and the measurement unit 22 shown in Fig. 1, may be built on the fishery product data management server.

[0158] In this case, a program that causes the computer to function as the fishing ground and fishing labor data acquisition unit 10, the measurement data acquisition unit 20, and the data integration unit 30 is executed, thereby realizing the fishery product data management server 50.

[0159] The hardware and software configurations of the fishery product data management system 1 are merely examples, and can be changed and modified as desired.

For example, the fishery product data management system 1 that executes the above-described processes may be configured by storing and distributing a computer program for executing the above-described operations on a computer-readable recording medium (such as a flexible disk, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM), and installing the computer program on a computer. Alternatively, the fishery product data management system 1 may be configured by storing the computer program in a storage device of a server device on a communication network such as the Internet, and downloading the computer program into an ordinary computer system.

[0161] When the functions of the fishery product data management system 1 are realized by sharing the functions between an OS (operating system) and an application program, or by cooperation between the OS and the application program, only the application program portion may be stored on a recording medium or storage device.

[0162] It is also possible to superimpose a computer program on a carrier wave and distribute it over a communications network. For example, the computer program may be posted on a bulletin board system (BBS) on the communications network and distributed over the network. The computer program may then be started and executed under the control of an operating system in the same way as any other application program, thereby enabling the above-mentioned processing to be performed.

[0163] This invention allows various embodiments and modifications without departing from the broad spirit and scope of this invention. Furthermore, the above-described embodiments are intended to explain this invention and do not limit the scope of this invention. That is, the scope of this invention is defined by the claims, not the embodiments. Various modifications made within the scope of the claims and the meaning of the invention equivalent thereto are considered to be within the scope of this invention. [Industrial Applicability]
