Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a product information providing system and a service information providing system. More specifically, it relates to a product information providing system and a service information providing system that enable consumers to safely select products and services.

Background Art

[0002] Conventionally, the safety of products, mainly food products, has attracted the attention of consumers. When consumers select products, they have come to show interest even in points such as what the products themselves and their raw materials are.

[0003] Therefore, product providers provide products by describing information such as the ingredients, origin, manufacturing date, etc. of the products and their raw materials on labels attached to the product packaging or recording them on IC tags.

[0004] However, simply attaching information described or recorded to products for provision makes it easy to tamper with or forge such information, and there is in fact a situation where information is tampered with or forged. As a result, the credibility for consumers is low, and it has been difficult for consumers to safely select products.

[0005] Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has proposed a technique of providing food by attaching a sample of raw material powder obtained by powdering the raw materials of the food, rather than simply attaching information described or recorded to the food (see Patent Document 1).

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] Incidentally, the quality of various products, including food, and the quality of various services are strongly influenced by various factors in the process by which those products and services are provided to consumers.

[0008] Therefore, while a sample of raw material powder for food products can provide information about the quality of the food, it is only one factor, and the technology described in Patent Document 1, which involves attaching a sample of raw material powder to the food product before providing it, may not be sufficient to achieve the objective of enabling consumers to confidently choose products and services.

[0009] This invention was conceived in view of the above points, and aims to provide a product information provision system and a service information provision system that enable consumers to select products and services with greater confidence. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] To achieve the above objectives, the product information provision system of the present invention includes: product provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of a product provider as product provider information; information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of an information provider different from the product provider as information provider information; information output means for outputting the product provider information and the information provider information to the terminals of the product provider and a consumer different from the information provider; and reference information generation means for generating reference information of the information provider information based on selection criterion information transmitted from the consumer's terminal for selecting the output target of the information output means. A product information provision system comprising: a means for creating information; and an information selection means for selecting selected information provider information, which is the information provider information to be output by the information output means, from among the information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means, based on the reference information generated by the reference information generation means, wherein the product provider information has first information for understanding the quality of the product, and the information provider information has second information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider, which should have the same content as the first information, and the information output means outputs the selected information provider information selected by the information selection means.

[0011] Furthermore, the product information provision system of the present invention comprises: product provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of a product provider as product provider information; information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of an information provider different from the product provider as information provider information; information output means for outputting the product provider information and the information provider information to the terminals of the product provider and a consumer different from the information provider; and information selection means for selecting selected information provider information, which is the information provider information to be output by the information output means, from among the information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means, based on reference information transmitted from the consumer's terminal for selecting the output target of the information output means, wherein the product provider information has first information for understanding the quality of the product, and the information provider information has second information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider, which should have the same content as the first information, and the information output means outputs the selected information provider information selected by the information selection means.

[0012] Here, by recording "first information" as product provider information in the product provider information recording means, the quality of the product provided by the product provider can be identified.

[0013] Furthermore, by recording "second information" as information provider information in the information provider information recording means, the quality of the goods provided by the goods provider can be identified from the information provider's perspective.

[0014] Furthermore, by recording information that should be identical (information for understanding product quality) from both the provider (product provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery.

[0015] Furthermore, if "the second piece of information contains information that corresponds to the first piece of information," in other words, if "the second piece of information contains information that does not correspond to the first piece of information," then it can be expected that the information provider will provide information of equal or higher quality than that of the product provider.

[0016] Furthermore, if "information on a specified product" is recorded in the product provider information recording means as product provider information, the product provided by the product provider can be identified.

[0017] Furthermore, if "information about products provided by product providers" is recorded in the information provider information recording means as information provider information, the products provided by product providers can be identified from the perspective of the information provider.

[0018] Furthermore, by recording information that should be identical (product information) from both the provider (product provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery.

[0019] Furthermore, when the reference information generation means generates reference information (reference information for "information provider information") based on selection criteria information, it can obtain information to refer to when selecting the output target for the information output means from the "information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means".

[0020] Furthermore, by having the information selection means select the "output target of the information output means" based on reference information ("reference information generated by the reference information generation means" or "reference information transmitted from the consumer's terminal"), the "output target of the information output means" can be selected based on information transmitted by the consumer ("selection criterion information" or "reference information"), even if the consumer does not select specific information. The "output targets of the information output means" selected by the information selection means may be singular or plural.

[0021] Here, when a consumer transmits selection criterion information as the "criterion for information to be selected", the reference information generated based on the selection criterion information (criterion for information to be selected) can be regarded as "model information as the output target of the information output means (i.e., information that the consumer wants to select)". Therefore, when the selection criterion information is transmitted as the "criterion for information to be selected", the "information provider information" with a high similarity to the reference information (model information) will be selected.

[0022] Similarly, when a consumer transmits reference information as the "reference information for information to be selected", the "information provider information" with a high similarity to the reference information (model information) will also be selected.

[0023] On the other hand, when a consumer transmits selection criterion information as the "criterion for information not to be selected", the reference information generated based on the selection criterion information (criterion for information not to be selected) can be regarded as "negative example information as the output target of the information output means (i.e., information that the consumer does not want to select)". Therefore, when the selection criterion information is transmitted as the "criterion for information not to be selected", the "information provider information" with a low similarity to the reference information (negative example information) will be selected. <0000​​​​​​​​​Similarly, considering the point of more directly identifying the information that consumers want to select and fully reflecting the consumers' thoughts, it is preferable to send "reference information of the information to be selected" as reference information.

[0027] Also, in order to achieve the above object, the service information providing system of the present invention includes: a service provider information recording means for recording the information transmitted from the terminal of the service provider as service provider information; an information provider information recording means for recording the information transmitted from the terminal of an information provider different from the service provider as information provider information; an information output means for outputting the service provider information and the information provider information to the terminal of a consumer different from the service provider and the information provider; a reference information generating means for generating reference information of the information provider information based on the selection criterion information transmitted from the terminal of the consumer and for selecting the output target of the information output means; an information selection means for selecting, from the information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means, the selection information provider information that is the information provider information to be the output target of the information output means based on the reference information generated by the reference information generating means; wherein the service provider information has first information for understanding the quality of the service, and the information provider information has second information for understanding the quality of the service provided by the service provider, and the second information should have the same content as the first information; and the information output means outputs the selection information provider information selected by the information selection means.

[0028] Furthermore, the service information provision system of the present invention comprises: a service provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a service provider's terminal as service provider information; an information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from an information provider's terminal different from the service provider as information provider information; an information output means for outputting the service provider information and the information provider information to the service provider and a consumer's terminal different from the information provider; and an information selection means for selecting selected information provider information, which is the information provider information to be output by the information output means, from among the information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means, based on reference information transmitted from the consumer's terminal for selecting the output target of the information output means, wherein the service provider information has first information for understanding the quality of the service, and the information provider information has second information for understanding the quality of the service provided by the service provider, which should have the same content as the first information, and the information output means outputs the selected information provider information selected by the information selection means.

[0029] Here, by recording "first information" as service provider information in the service provider information recording means, the quality of the service provided by the service provider can be identified.

[0030] Furthermore, by recording "second information" as information provider information in the information provider information recording means, the quality of the services provided by the service provider can be identified from the information provider's perspective.

[0031] Furthermore, by recording information that should be identical (information for understanding the quality of a service) from both the provider (service provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter the falsification or forgery of information.

[0032] Furthermore, if "the second piece of information contains information that corresponds to the first piece of information," in other words, if "the second piece of information contains information that does not correspond to the first piece of information," then it can be expected that the information provider will provide information of equal or higher quality than that of the service provider.

[0033] Furthermore, if "information on a specified service" is recorded in the service provider information recording means as service provider information, the service provided by the service provider can be identified.

[0034] Furthermore, if "information about services provided by a service provider" is recorded in the information provider information recording means as information provider information, the services provided by the service provider can be identified from the perspective of the information provider.

[0035] Furthermore, by recording information that should be identical (service information) from both the provider (service provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery.

[0036] Furthermore, when the reference information generation means generates reference information ("reference information for information provider information") based on selection criteria information, it can obtain information to refer to when selecting the output target for the information output means from the "information provider information recorded in the information provider information recording means".

[0037] Furthermore, by having the information selection means select the "output target of the information output means" based on reference information ("reference information generated by the reference information generation means" or "reference information transmitted from the consumer's terminal"), the "output target of the information output means" can be selected based on information transmitted by the consumer ("selection criterion information" or "reference information"), even if the consumer does not select specific information. The "output targets of the information output means" selected by the information selection means may be singular or plural.

[0038] In this case, if a consumer transmits selection criteria information as "criteria for the information they wish to select," the reference information generated based on the selection criteria information (criteria for the information they wish to select) can be considered "model information as the output target of the information output means (i.e., the information the consumer wishes to select)." Therefore, if you submit selection criteria information as the "criteria for the information you want to select," the system will select "information provider information" that has a high degree of similarity to the reference information (model information).

[0039] Similarly, when consumers submit reference information as "reference information for the information they want to select," they will choose "information provider information" that has a high degree of similarity to the reference information (model information).

[0040] On the other hand, when consumers transmit selection criteria information as "criteria for information they do not want to select," the reference information generated based on the selection criteria information (criteria for information they do not want to select) can be considered "information that serves as a negative example as an output target for the information output device (i.e., information that consumers do not want to select)." Therefore, if you submit selection criteria information as "criteria for information you do not want to select," you will end up selecting "information provider information" that has a low similarity to reference information (information that serves as a cautionary tale).

[0041] Similarly, when consumers submit reference information as "reference information for information they do not want to select," they will choose "information provider information" that has a low similarity to the reference information (information that serves as a cautionary tale).

[0042] Furthermore, compared to submitting "criteria for information you do not want to select" as selection criteria information, submitting "criteria for information you want to select" as selection criteria information allows for a more direct identification of the information consumers want to select. Therefore, considering the need to fully reflect consumers' wishes, it is preferable to submit "criteria for information you want to select" as selection criteria information.

[0043] Similarly, considering the need to more directly identify the information consumers want to select and fully reflect their preferences, it is preferable to send "reference information for the information you want to select" as reference information.

[0044] By the way, the term "commodity" here includes food products. Furthermore, "commodity" includes both primary and secondary products, and both tangible and intangible objects.

[0045] Furthermore, "service" here refers to various acts of assistance performed for the customer or efforts made for the benefit of others, regardless of whether they are paid or unpaid. [Effects of the Invention]

[0046] The product information provision system and service information provision system of the present invention enable consumers to select products and services with greater confidence, thereby improving the reliability of products and services. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[0047] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of the food information provision system of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how to use the food information provision system of the present invention. [Figure 3] This is a schematic diagram illustrating a modified example of the food information provision system of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0048] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the invention (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments").

[0049] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a food information provision system to which the product information provision system of the present invention is applied. The food information provision system 1 shown in Figure 1 is configured to exchange various types of information via the internet 6 with food provider terminals 2 used by food providers, information provider terminals 3 (3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E) used by information providers, a generating AI 4, and consumer terminals 5. Furthermore, while the consumer terminal 5 here does not limit the user to a specific entity, it does not include food provider terminals 2 or information provider terminals 3.

[0050] Furthermore, information providers who use the information provider terminal 3 include (1) those who have received food from the food provider through a route other than the food provider, (2) customers who have received food from the food provider in the past (existing customers), and (3) research companies and evaluation companies whose business is to research and evaluate various foods, and there are no particular restrictions on such individuals. In addition, it is also acceptable for (1) to (3) to be combined as appropriate, such as when all information providers are those who have received food through a route other than the food provider, when all information providers are existing customers, when all information providers are research companies or evaluation companies, or when some information providers are those who have received food through a route other than the food provider and some are research companies or evaluation companies. In this embodiment, the information provider is described as "(2) a customer who has previously received food from a food provider (existing customer)."

[0051] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has a food provider information recording means 7 that records food provider information transmitted from the food provider terminal 2.

[0052] Here, the food provider information recording means 7 is configured to record at least information 7a of the food that the food provider provides to consumers, information (text information) 7b of the quality of such food, and information 7c of the information provider.

[0053] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has a food provider information transmission means 9 that is linked to the food provider information recording means 7. When food provider information is recorded in the food provider information recording means 7, the food provider information transmission means 9 transmits a message to the information provider terminal 3 indicating that "food provider information has been recorded."

[0054] Furthermore, the content transmitted to the information provider terminal 3 may not only be "that food provider information has been recorded," but may also be part or all of the "food provider information" recorded in the food provider information recording means 7.

[0055] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 includes an information provider information recording means 8A for recording information provider information A transmitted from information provider terminal 3A, an information provider information recording means 8B for recording information provider information B transmitted from information provider terminal 3B, an information provider information recording means 8C for recording information provider information C transmitted from information provider terminal 3C, an information provider information recording means 8D for recording information provider information D transmitted from information provider terminal 3D, and an information provider information recording means 8E for recording information provider information E transmitted from information provider terminal 3E.

[0056] Furthermore, the information provider information recording means 8A is configured to record at least information 8Aa about food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information (text information) 8Ab about the quality of such food, and "other information 8Ac" that is different from the "food quality information 8Ab".

[0057] Similarly, the information provider information recording means 8B is configured to record at least information 8Ba of food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information (text information) 8Bb of the quality of such food, and "other information 8Bc" that is different from the "food quality information 8Bb".

[0058] Similarly, the information provider information recording means 8C is configured to record at least information 8Ca of food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information (text information) 8Cb of the quality of such food, and "other information 8Cc" that is different from the "food quality information 8Cb".

[0059] Similarly, the information provider information recording means 8D is configured to record at least information 8Da of food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information (text information) 8Db of the quality of such food, and "other information 8Dc" that is different from the "food quality information 8Db".

[0060] Similarly, the information provider information recording means 8E is configured to record at least information 8Ea of food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information (text information) 8Eb of the quality of such food, and "other information 8Ec" that is different from the "food quality information 8Eb".

[0061] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has an information provider information transmission means 10 that is linked to the information provider information recording means 8 (8A to 8E). When information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8 (8A to 8E), the information provider information transmission means 10 transmits a message to the food provider terminal 2 indicating that "information provider information has been recorded."

[0062] Furthermore, the content transmitted to the food provider terminal 2 may not only be "that information provider information has been recorded," but may also be part or all of the "information provider information" recorded in the information provider information recording means 8 (8A~8E).

[0063] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has a selection criteria information recording means 11 that records "selection criteria information for selecting food quality information 8Ab~8Eb (hereinafter simply referred to as "selection criteria information")" transmitted from a consumer terminal 5 used by a new customer (prospective customer). In this embodiment, the selection criteria information recording means 11 records "the criteria for information on the quality of food that consumers wish to select" as selection criteria information.

[0064] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has a model information generation means (an example of a reference information generation means) 12 that generates "model information on food quality" (hereinafter simply referred to as "model information").

[0065] Here, the model information generation means 12, when selection criterion information is recorded in the selection criterion information recording means 11, inputs the "selection criterion information" into the general-purpose generative AI (generating AI) 4 and generates model information by obtaining the output result of the generating AI 4. When new model information is generated, it will be registered in place of the previous model information (overwritten).

[0066] For example, in the selection criteria information, (1) The explanation is given using simple language without using technical jargon. (2) The explanation uses specific data. (3) The testimonials must include personal experiences using the food. (4) It does not contain any expressions that may offend others. If this information is recorded, the contents of (1) to (4) are input into the generating AI to generate model information.

[0067] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has an information selection means 13 that selects the "food quality information (i.e., selected information provider information)" to be output from among the "food quality information 8Ab~8Eb" based on the model information.

[0068] Here, when selection criterion information is recorded, the information selection means 13 selects the "food quality information" with the highest similarity to the "model information" from among the "food quality information 8Ab~8Eb" as the information provider information.

[0069] In other words, once the "selection criteria information" is recorded, the model information generation means 12 generates model information, and then the information selection means 13 selects the "food quality information" with the highest similarity to the model information as the output target.

[0070] Furthermore, the food information provision system 1 has an information output means 14 that outputs the information selected by the information selection means 13 when a consumer who is a new customer (prospective customer) requests information.

[0071] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of how to use the food information provision system described above. In the following explanation, we will assume that consumers 50 (new customers) are gathering information when considering whether or not to accept food from food providers 20.

[0072] [1. Recording of various information] In one example of how to use the food information provision system of the present invention, various types of information need to be recorded in the food information provision system 1 in order for consumers 50 to obtain information. Therefore, the recording of various types of information in the food information provision system 1 will be explained.

[0073] In one example of how to use the food information provision system of the present invention, first, the food provider 20 provides a predetermined food product 200 to the information provider 30A. Here, the predetermined food product 200 may be a primary product or a secondary product.

[0074] Furthermore, when providing the designated food 200, the food provider 20 transmits food provider information (information 7a about the designated food 200, information 7b about the quality of the designated food 200, and information 7c about the information provider 30A) to the food information provision system 1 using the food provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) (step indicated by the symbol (1) in Figure 2). Note that "information on the quality of the specified food 200" (7b) here is an example of "first information for understanding the quality of the product."

[0075] Here, once the food provider information is recorded in the food provider information recording means 7, a message to that effect is transmitted to the information provider terminal 3A (not shown in Figure 2) based on the information 7c of the information provider 30A (step indicated by the symbol (2) in Figure 2).

[0076] Next, the information provider 30A, who has been provided with the specified food 200, uses the information provider terminal 3A (not shown in Figure 2) to transmit to the food information provision system 1 information 8Aa about the specified food 200 provided by the food provider 20, information 8Ab about the quality of the specified food 200, and other information 8Ac (the step indicated by the symbol (3) in Figure 2). Note that "information on the quality of the specified food 200 items 8Ab" here is an example of "secondary information for understanding the quality of the product."

[0077] Furthermore, since "that fact" is transmitted in step (2) above, the information provider 30A can access the food provider information recording means 7 and check the "information 7a of the specified food 200" and the "information 7b of the quality of the specified food 200" to confirm any differences with the specified food 200 (actual product) that was actually provided.

[0078] When the information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8A, a message to that effect is sent to the food provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) (step indicated by the symbol (4) in Figure 2).

[0079] Here, we explain using the example of information provider 30A recording "information 8Aa about the specified food 200," "information 8Ab about the quality of the specified food 200," and "other information 8Ac." However, information providers 30B, 30C, 30D, and 30E also record information in a similar manner. Please note that information providers 30A to 30E will not be recording at the same time, but rather sequentially.

[0080] After recording the various types of information described above, it becomes possible to provide the consumer 50 with that information.

[0081] It should be noted that this explanation only describes the case where the information provider 30 records various information about the food 200 provided by the food provider 20. However, the information recorded in the food information provision system 1 is not limited to "food 200 provided by the food provider 20," but also includes information about "food other than food 200 provided by the food provider 20" and "food provided by a food provider other than the food provider 20." In other words, in this embodiment, we will explain using the example of a consumer 50 obtaining information about food 200 provided by food provider 20 (as described later), but the food information provision system 1 can also provide information about "food other than food 200 provided by food provider 20" and "food provided by a food provider other than food provider 20".

[0082] [2. Provision of various information] Consumers 50 who wish to receive various information related to the food 200 provided by the food provider 20 access the food information provision system 1 via the internet 6 using a consumer terminal 5 (step indicated by the symbol (5) in Figure 2).

[0083] When consumer 50 accesses the food information provision system 1, a list of food providers who can provide information is displayed on the consumer terminal 5, and consumer 50 selects "Food Provider 20" from the displayed list. After selecting "Food Provider 20," a list of foods provided by Food Provider 20 is displayed, and consumer 50 selects "Food 200" from the displayed list.

[0084] Then, after selecting "Food 200 from Food Provider 20" from the consumer terminal 5, the consumer terminal 5 transmits "Selection Criteria Information" to the food information provision system 1.

[0085] When the "selection criteria information" transmitted to the food information provision system 1 is recorded in the selection criteria information recording means 11, the model information generation means 12 generates model information, and the information selection means 13 selects the information to be output (for example, "information on the quality of food 200 8Bb").

[0086] Next, when the information selection means 13 selects an output target, the information output means 14 outputs the "food information 7a" and "food quality information 7b" recorded in the food provider information recording means 7 (the information is displayed on the consumer terminal 5).

[0087] In addition, the information output means 14 outputs the information selected by the information selection means 13 (the information is displayed on the consumer terminal 5). Specifically, if the information selection means 13 selects "food quality information 8Bb", it outputs "food quality information 8Bb" and "food information 8Ba".

[0088] Subsequently, if consumer 50 receives food 200 from food provider 20 (purchases food 200 from food provider 20), food provider 20 provides food 200 to consumer 50.

[0089] [effect] In the food information provision system 1 of the present invention described above, the quality of the food 200 provided by the food provider 20 can be determined by "information 8Bb on the quality of the food 200". Furthermore, by checking the "Information on the Quality of Food 200 8Bb" before receiving the food 200, consumers 50 can understand the quality of the food 200, thus providing them with information to decide whether or not to accept the food 200 from the food provider 20 (whether or not to purchase the food 200).

[0090] Furthermore, both "Food Quality Information 7b" and "Food Quality Information 8Bb" are output, and by identifying "Food Quality Information 200" based on information from both the food provider (Food Provider 20) and others (Information Provider 30B), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery.

[0091] Similarly, both "Information 7a of Food 200" and "Information 8Ba of Food 200" are output, and by identifying "Food 200" based on information from both the food provider (Food Provider 20) and others (Information Provider 30B), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery.

[0092] Furthermore, since the consumer 50 only needs to submit "selection criteria information," and the information selection means 13 selects the "food quality information" that has the highest similarity to "food quality information that consumer 50 wants to select," the consumer does not need to select specific information from the information provider information, "food quality information 8Ab~8Eb." Furthermore, since the information selection means 13 can select the most appropriate (i.e., information that aligns with the consumer's selection intent) "food quality information," even if the consumer 50 does not have sufficient knowledge about "food contents" or "food quality" (in other words, if it is difficult for the consumer 50 to make a selection based solely on their own knowledge), information that aligns with the selection criteria information (the criteria for the "food quality information" that the consumer 50 wants to select) can be output.

[0093] [Example 1] In this embodiment, the explanation is given using the case where "food quality information 8Bb" is output as an example. However, since it is sufficient for the consumer 50 to be able to check "food quality information 8Bb", identification information (an identifier such as a two-dimensional barcode or color code) that allows access to "food quality information 8Bb" may also be output. In this case, the consumer terminal 5 will use the identification information to access a website or other site where "food quality information 8Bb" is posted and verify the "food quality information 8Bb".

[0094] [Differentiation 2] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the explanation is given using the example where "food quality information 7b" and "food quality information 8Ab~8Eb" are textual information, but it is sufficient if the quality of the food can be identified, and it does not necessarily have to be textual information. For example, "food quality information 7b" and "food quality information 8Ab~8Eb" may include image information (image information only, textual information and image information).

[0095] [Difference 3] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the example given is one in which the consumer terminal 50 transmits "selection criteria information" and the model information generation means 12 generates model information, but the consumer terminal 50 may also transmit "model information". In this case, as shown in Figure 3, a "model information recording means 15" is provided instead of the "selection criteria information recording means 11 and model information generation means 12," and the "model information" transmitted from the consumer terminal 50 is recorded in the model information recording means 15. Based on the "model information" recorded in the model information recording means 15, the information selection means 13 selects the information provider information.

[0096] [Differentiation Example 4] Furthermore, although this embodiment uses the example of handling "food products," the handling products do not necessarily have to be "food products"; they may also be "non-food goods" or "services." [Explanation of symbols]
