Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a product information management system and a service information management system. Specifically, it relates to a product information management system and a service information management 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 aspects such as what the products themselves and their raw materials are.

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

[0004] However, simply attaching information that is merely described or recorded to products for provision makes it easy to tamper with or forge such information, and there are indeed facts where information has been 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 instead of simply attaching information that is merely 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 management system and a service information management system that enable consumers to select products and services with greater confidence. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] To achieve the above objective, the product information management system of the present invention comprises: product provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a product provider's terminal as product provider information; and information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a terminal of an information provider different from the product provider as information provider information, wherein the product provider information comprises information of a predetermined product and first information for understanding the quality of the product, and the information provider information comprises information of the product provided by the product provider and second information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider, the second information which should have the same content as the first information, and further comprises: reference information generation means for generating reference information for understanding the quality of the product based on the product information recorded in the product provider information recording means or the product information provided by the product provider recorded in the information provider information recording means; and reference information recording means for recording the reference information generated by the reference information generation means, wherein the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the product provider information.

[0011] Furthermore, the product information management system of the present invention comprises: product provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a product provider's terminal as product provider information; and information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a terminal of an information provider different from the product provider as information provider information, wherein the product provider information comprises information of a predetermined product and first information for understanding the quality of the product, and the information provider information comprises information of the product provided by the product provider and second information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider, the second information which should have the same content as the first information, and further comprises: generation signal output means for outputting a generation signal to a predetermined reference information generation means for generating reference information for understanding the quality of the product based on the product information recorded in the product provider information recording means or the product information provided by the product provider recorded in the information provider information recording means; and reference information recording means for recording the reference information generated by the reference information generation means, wherein the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the product provider information.

[0012] Furthermore, the product information management system of the present invention comprises a product provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a product provider's terminal as product provider information, and an information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from an information provider's terminal different from the product provider as information provider information, wherein the product provider information comprises information about a predetermined product and first information for understanding the quality of the product, and the information provider information comprises information about the product provided by the product provider and second information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider, the second information which should have the same content as the first information, and further comprises a reference information recording means for recording reference information for understanding the quality of the product generated by a predetermined reference information generation means based on the product information recorded in the product provider information recording means or the product information provided by the product provider recorded in the information provider information recording means, and the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the product provider information.

[0013] Here, by recording "product information" and "first information for understanding product quality" as product provider information in the product provider information recording means, it becomes possible to identify the "product" and "product quality" that the product provider provided to the information provider. Furthermore, "Information 1" refers to information for understanding the quality of the product; in other words, information indicating the quality of the product, and does not include identification symbols used to distinguish the product from other products (for example, lot numbers or code numbers used in traceability technology).

[0014] Furthermore, by recording "information about the product provided by the product provider" and "secondary information for understanding the quality of the product provided by the product provider" in the information provider information recording means, the information provider can identify the "product" and "quality of the product" provided by the product provider.

[0015] Furthermore, product provider information and information provider information are recorded in correspondence, and by identifying the "product" and "product quality" based on information from both the provider (product provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery. In other words, by recording information that should be identical (such as "product information" or "information for understanding product quality") from both the provider (product provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter the falsification or forgery of information.

[0016] Furthermore, a reference information recording means that records reference information (information for understanding product quality generated by the reference information generation means based on "product information recorded in the product provider information recording means" and "product information recorded in the information provider information recording means") can record information (average and ordinary information) mechanically generated by the reference information generation means (for example, generative AI). Furthermore, when assessing product quality, considering "reference information" in addition to "primary and secondary information" allows for a more objective understanding of product quality, as reference information is average and typical, without relying solely on information recorded (provided) by product providers or information providers.

[0017] For example, if "the first or second piece of information" differs significantly from "reference information," it means that it is far removed from "average and ordinary information," which can lead to the realization that "the first or second piece of information" may be incorrect. This allows for a more objective understanding of the product's quality.

[0018] Furthermore, by having product providers refer to "reference information" when recording "first information," and by having information providers refer to "reference information" when recording "second information," it becomes possible to record more objective (and, in a good way, less individualistic) information.

[0019] Here, when product provider information is recorded in the product provider information recording means, the reference information generating means generates reference information. When the reference information generated by the reference information generating means is recorded in the reference information recording means, if the notification means notifies the "terminal of the product provider" to that effect, it is possible to inform the "product provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, it can be expected that through recording the first information (new recording, modified recording) referring to the reference information, the first information will become more objective.

[0020] Also, when product provider information is recorded in the product provider information recording means, the reference information generating means generates reference information. When the reference information generated by the reference information generating means is recorded in the reference information recording means, if the notification means notifies the "terminal of the information provider" to that effect, it is possible to inform the "information provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, it can be expected that through recording the second information (new recording, modified recording) referring to the reference information, the second information will become more objective.

[0021] In addition, when the "first information" is recorded in the product provider information recording means and the notification means notifies the "first information" to the terminal of the information provider, it is possible to confirm the similarities and differences between the "notified 'first information'" and the quality of the product (actual item) actually provided by the product provider, and an improvement in the quality of the "second information (information provider information)" can be expected.

[0022] Also, when information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means, the reference information generating means generates reference information. When the reference information generated by the reference information generating means is recorded in the reference information recording means, if the notification means notifies the "terminal of the information provider" to that effect, it is possible to inform the "information provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, it can be expected that through recording the second information (new recording, modified recording) referring to the reference information, the second information will become more objective.

[0023] In addition, the product information management system may have "reference information generation means", or the product information management system and "external reference information generation means" may cooperate to generate reference information. That is, the product information management system has "generated signal output means", and the "generated signal output means" outputs a "generated signal for generating a reference signal for understanding the quality of the product" to the "external reference information generation means", and the "external reference information generation means" may generate a reference signal.

[0024] In addition, in order to achieve the above object, the service information management system of the present invention includes service provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of the service provider as service provider information, and information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from the terminal of an information provider different from the service provider as information provider information. The service provider information has information on a predetermined service and first information for understanding the quality of the service. The information provider information has information on the service provided by the service provider and 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. A service information management system, comprising reference information generation means for generating reference information for understanding the quality of the service based on the information on the service recorded in the service provider information recording means or the information on the service provided by the service provider recorded in the information provider information recording means, and reference information recording means for recording the reference information generated by the reference information generation means. At the same time, the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the service provider information.

[0025] Furthermore, the service information management 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; and an information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a terminal of an information provider different from the service provider as information provider information, wherein the service provider information comprises information of a predetermined service and first information for understanding the quality of the service, and the information provider information comprises information of the service provided by the service provider and second information for understanding the quality of the service provided by the service provider, the second information which should have the same content as the first information, and further comprises: a generation signal output means for outputting a generation signal to a predetermined reference information generation means for generating reference information for understanding the quality of the service based on the information of the service recorded in the service provider information recording means or the information of the service provided by the service provider recorded in the information provider information recording means; and a reference information recording means for recording the reference information generated by the reference information generation means, wherein the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the service provider information.

[0026] Furthermore, the service information management 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, and an information provider information recording means for recording information transmitted from a terminal of an information provider different from the service provider as information provider information, wherein the service provider information comprises information of a predetermined service and first information for understanding the quality of the service, and the information provider information comprises information of the service provided by the service provider and second information for understanding the quality of the service provided by the service provider, the second information which should have the same content as the first information, and further comprises a reference information recording means for recording reference information for understanding the quality of the service generated by a predetermined reference information generation means based on the information of the service recorded in the service provider information recording means or the information of the service provided by the service provider recorded in the information provider information recording means, and the information provider information recording means records the information provider information in correspondence with the service provider information.

[0027] Here, by recording "service information" and "first information for understanding service quality" as service provider information in the service provider information recording means, it becomes possible to identify the "service" and "quality of service" that the service provider provided to the information provider. Furthermore, "Information 1" refers to information for understanding the quality of the service; in other words, information indicating the quality of the service, and does not include identification symbols used to distinguish the service from other services (for example, lot numbers or code numbers used in traceability technology).

[0028] Furthermore, by recording "information about the service provided by the service provider" and "secondary information for understanding the quality of the service provided by the service provider" in the information provider information recording means, the information provider can identify the "service" and "quality of service" provided by the service provider.

[0029] Furthermore, service provider information and information provider information are recorded in correspondence, and by identifying "services" and "service quality" based on information from both the provider and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter information falsification and forgery. In other words, by recording information that should be identical (such as "service information" or "information for understanding service quality") from both the provider (service provider) and the recipient (information provider), it is possible to deter the falsification or forgery of information.

[0030] Furthermore, a reference information recording means that records reference information (information for understanding service quality generated by the reference information generation means based on "service information recorded in the service provider information recording means" and "service information recorded in the information provider information recording means") can record information (average and ordinary information) mechanically generated by the reference information generation means (for example, generative AI). Furthermore, when assessing the quality of a service, considering "reference information" in addition to "primary and secondary information" allows for a more objective understanding of the service quality, as reference information is average and ordinary, without relying solely on information recorded (provided) by the service provider or information provider.

[0031] For example, if "the first and second pieces of information" differ significantly from "reference information," it means they are far removed from "average and ordinary information," and this can serve as an opportunity to realize that "the first and second pieces of information" may be incorrect, allowing for a more objective understanding of the service quality.

[0032] Furthermore, by referring to "reference information" when service providers record "first information," and by referring to "reference information" when information providers record "second information," it becomes possible to record more objective (and, in a good way, less individualistic) information.

[0033] Here, when service provider information is recorded in the service provider information recording means, the reference information generation means generates reference information, and when the reference information generated by the reference information generation means is recorded in the reference information recording means, the notification means can notify the "service provider's terminal" of this fact, thereby informing the "service provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, by referring to the reference information and recording the first piece of information (new entries, revised entries), it can be expected that the first piece of information will become more objective.

[0034] Furthermore, when service provider information is recorded in the service provider information recording means, the reference information generation means generates reference information, and when the reference information generated by the reference information generation means is recorded in the reference information recording means, the notification means notifies the "information provider's terminal" of this fact, thereby informing the "information provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, by referring to the reference information and recording the second piece of information (new entries, revised entries), it can be expected that the second piece of information will become more objective.

[0035] Furthermore, if the notification means notifies the information provider's terminal of the "first information" once the "first information" is recorded in the service provider information recording means, it is possible to confirm the similarities and differences between the "notified 'first information'" and the "quality of the service (physical item) actually provided by the service provider," and an improvement in the quality of the "second information (information provider information)" can be expected.

[0036] Furthermore, when information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means, the reference information generation means generates reference information, and when the reference information generated by the reference information generation means is recorded in the reference information recording means, the notification means notifies the "information provider's terminal" of this fact, thereby informing the "information provider" that the reference information has been recorded. Therefore, by referring to the reference information and recording the second piece of information (new entries, revised entries), it can be expected that the second piece of information will become more objective.

[0037] Furthermore, while a service information management system may have its own "reference information generation means," it may also generate reference information in cooperation with an "external reference information generation means." In other words, the service information management system may have a "generation signal output means," and the "generation signal output means" may output a "generation signal for generating a reference signal for understanding the quality of the service" to an "external reference information generation means," which may then generate the reference signal.

[0038] By the way, "specified goods" here includes food products. Furthermore, "specified goods" include both primary and secondary products.

[0039] Furthermore, "specified services" here refers to various services provided for the customer or efforts made for the benefit of others, regardless of whether they are paid or unpaid. [Effects of the Invention]

[0040] The product information management system and service information management 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]

[0041] [Figure 1] This is a schematic diagram illustrating an example configuration of the food information management system of the present invention. [Figure 2] This is a schematic diagram illustrating the method of using the food information management system of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0042] The following describes embodiments for carrying out the invention (hereinafter referred to as "embodiments").

[0043] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram illustrating an example of the configuration of a food information management system to which the product information management system of the present invention is applied. The food information management system 1 shown in Figure 1 consists of a food provider terminal 2 used by food providers, an information provider terminal 3 used by information providers, and a server 4. Furthermore, the food provider terminal 2 and the information provider terminal 3 are configured to exchange various types of information with the server 4 via the internet 5.

[0044] Furthermore, the server 4 has a food provider information recording means 6 that records food provider information transmitted from the food provider terminal 2.

[0045] Here, the food provider information recording means 6 is configured to record at least information 6A of the food that the food provider provides to the information provider, information 6B of the quality of such food, and information 6C of the information provider.

[0046] Furthermore, Server 4 has a food provider information transmission means 7 that is linked to the food provider information recording means 6. When food provider information is recorded in the food provider information recording means 6, the food provider information transmission means 7 transmits a message to the information provider terminal 3 indicating that "food provider information has been recorded."

[0047] 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 6.

[0048] Furthermore, Server 4 includes a quality information generation means 10 and a quality information recording means 11. When "food information 6A" is recorded in the food provider information recording means 6, the quality information generation means 10 uses "food information 6A" as input information and generates "quality information 11Ba" using a general-purpose generative AI.

[0049] Furthermore, the "quality information 11Ba" generated by the quality information generation means 10 is recorded in the quality information recording means 11.

[0050] Furthermore, Server 4 has a quality information transmission means 12 that is linked to the quality information recording means 11. The quality information transmission means 12 transmits a message to the food provider terminal 2 and the information provider terminal 3 indicating that "quality information 11Ba has been recorded" when "quality information 11Ba" is recorded in the quality information recording means 11 (specifically, when "quality information 11Ba" generated using "food information 6A" as input information is recorded).

[0051] Furthermore, the content transmitted to the food provider terminal 2 and the information provider terminal 3 may not only be "that quality information 11Ba has been recorded," but may also be part or all of the "quality information 11Ba" recorded in the quality information recording means 11.

[0052] Furthermore, Server 4 has an information provider information recording means 8 that records information provider information transmitted from the information provider terminal 3. In addition, the information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8 in correspondence (in other words, associated) with the food provider information recorded in Food Provider Information Recording Means 6. The solid line indicated by the symbol 'a' in Figure 1 represents the correspondence between information provider information and food provider information.

[0053] Here, the information provider information recording means 8 is configured to record at least information 8A of food provided to the information provider by the food provider, information 8B of the quality of such food, and other information 8C that is different from the quality information 8B.

[0054] Furthermore, Server 4 has an information provider information transmission means 9 that is linked to the information provider information recording means 8. When information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8, the information provider information transmission means 9 transmits a message to the food provider terminal 2 stating that "information provider information has been recorded."

[0055] 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.

[0056] Furthermore, when "food information 8A" is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8, the aforementioned quality information generation means 10 uses "food information 8A" as input information and generates "quality information 11Bb" using a general-purpose generative AI.

[0057] Furthermore, the "quality information 11Bb" generated by the quality information generation means 10 is recorded in the quality information recording means 11. Furthermore, the quality information recording means 11 already has "quality information 11Ba" generated using "food information 6A" as input information recorded in it, and in addition to this, "quality information 11Bb" generated using "food information 8A" as input information will be recorded in it. In other words, the quality information recording means 11 will record multiple pieces of information, such as "quality information 11Ba" generated based on "food information 6A" and "quality information 11Bb" generated based on "food information 8A".

[0058] Furthermore, the quality information transmission means 12 transmits a message to the food provider terminal 2 and the information provider terminal 3 indicating that "quality information 11Bb has been recorded" when "quality information Bb" is recorded in the quality information recording means 11 (specifically, when "quality information 11Bb", which was generated using "food information 8A" as input information, is recorded).

[0059] Furthermore, the content transmitted to the food provider terminal 2 and the information provider terminal 3 may not only be "that quality information 11Bb has been recorded," but may also be part or all of the "quality information 11Bb" recorded in the quality information recording means 11.

[0060] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram illustrating how to use the food information management system described above. In the following explanation, we will assume that consumers (new customers) 40 are gathering information when considering whether or not to accept food from food providers 20.

[0061] [1. Recording of various information] In one example of how to use the food information management system of the present invention, various types of information need to be recorded on the server 4 in order for the consumer 40 to obtain information. Therefore, the recording of various types of information on the server 4 will be explained.

[0062] In one example of how to use the food information management system of the present invention, first, a food provider 20 provides a predetermined food product 200 to an information provider 30. Here, the predetermined food product 200 may be a primary product or a secondary product.

[0063] Furthermore, when providing the specified food 200, the food provider 20 transmits food provider information (information 6A about the specified food 200, information 6B about the quality of the specified food 200, and information 60C about the information provider 30) to the server 4 using the food provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) (the step indicated by the symbol (1) in Figure 2). Note that "information 6B on the quality of the specified 200 foods" here is an example of "the first piece of information for understanding the quality of food."

[0064] Here, once the food provider information is recorded in the food provider information recording means 6, a message to that effect is transmitted to the information provider terminal 3 (not shown in Figure 2) based on the information 6C of the information provider 30 (the step indicated by the symbol (2) in Figure 2).

[0065] Furthermore, when food provider information is recorded in the food provider information recording means 6, the quality information generation means 10 generates "quality information 11Ba," and when "quality information 11Ba" is recorded in the quality information recording means 11, a message to that effect is transmitted to the food provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) (the step indicated by the symbol (3) in Figure 2).

[0066] Since the message "that fact" has been sent in step (3) above, the food provider 20 can access the quality information recording means 11, check the "quality information 11Ba" and use it as a reference.

[0067] For example, after checking "Quality Information 11Ba," you can either [1] record new "Quality Information 6B," or [2] modify an existing "Quality Information 6B."

[0068] Note that [1] is the case where "Quality Information 11Ba" is checked before "Quality Information 6B" is recorded, and [2] is the case where "Quality Information 11Ba" is checked after "Quality Information 6B" is recorded (in this embodiment, even if "Quality Information 6B" is not recorded, "Quality Information 11Ba" is generated when "Food Information 6A" is recorded).

[0069] Furthermore, when "quality information 11Ba" is recorded in the quality information recording means 11, a message to that effect is also transmitted to the information provider terminal 3 (not shown in Figure 2) based on the information 6C of the information provider 30 (step indicated by the symbol (4) in Figure 2).

[0070] Next, the information provider 30, having received the specified food 200, uses the information provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) to transmit to the server 4 information 8A about the specified food 200 provided by the food provider 20, information 8B about the quality of the specified food 200 provided by the food provider 20, and other information 8C (the step indicated by the symbol (5) in Figure 2). Note that "information 8B on the quality of the specified food 200 provided by the food provider 20" is an example of "secondary information for understanding the quality of the food."

[0071] Furthermore, since "that fact" is transmitted in step (2) above, the information provider 30 can access the food provider information recording means 6 and check the information 6A of the specified food and the quality information 6B of the specified food to confirm any differences with the specified food 200 (actual product) that was actually provided.

[0072] Furthermore, since "that fact" is transmitted in step (4) above, the information provider 30 can access the quality information recording means 11, check the "quality information 11Ba" and use it as a reference.

[0073] For example, after verifying "Quality Information 11Ba," a new record of "Quality Information 8B" might be created.

[0074] Here, once the information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8, a message to that effect is transmitted to the food provider terminal 2 (not shown in Figure 2) (step indicated by the symbol (6) in Figure 2).

[0075] Furthermore, when information provider information is recorded in the information provider information recording means 8, the quality information generation means 10 generates "quality information 11Bb," and when "quality information 11Bb" is recorded in the quality information recording means 11, a message to that effect is transmitted to the information provider terminal 3 (not shown in Figure 2) (the step indicated by the symbol (7) in Figure 2).

[0076] Since the information "that fact" has been transmitted in step (7) above, the information provider 30 can access the quality information recording means 11, check the "quality information 11Bb" and use it as a reference. Furthermore, since "quality information 11Ba" is also recorded in the quality information recording means 11, "quality information 11Ba" and "quality information 11Bb" can be used as reference.

[0077] For example, after checking "Quality Information 11Ba" and "Quality Information 11Bb", you can either [1] record a new "Quality Information 8B" or [2] modify an existing "Quality Information 8B".

[0078] Note that [1] is the case where "Quality Information 11Ba" and "Quality Information 11Bb" are checked before "Quality Information 8B" is recorded, and [2] is the case where "Quality Information 11Ba" and "Quality Information 11Bb" are checked after "Quality Information 8B" is recorded (in this embodiment, even if "Quality Information 8B" is not recorded, "Quality Information 11Bb" is generated when "Food Information 8A" is recorded).

[0079] After recording the various types of information described above, it becomes possible to provide the consumer 40 with that information.

[0080] Here, we only describe the case where the information provider 30 records various information about the food 200 provided by the food provider 20. However, the information recorded on the server 4 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 40 obtaining information related to food 200 provided by food provider 20 (as described later), but the server 4 can also provide information related to "food other than food 200 provided by food provider 20" or "food provided by a food provider other than food provider 20".

[0081] [2. Provision of various information] Consumers 40 who wish to receive various information related to the food 200 provided by the food provider 20 access the server 4 via the internet 5 using a consumer terminal (not shown) (step indicated by the symbol (8) in Figure 2).

[0082] When the consumer 40 accesses server 4, a list of food providers who can provide information is displayed on the consumer terminal, and the consumer 40 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 the consumer 40 selects "Food 200" from the displayed list.

[0083] Then, when "Food 200 from Food Provider 20" is selected from the consumer terminal, various pieces of information (6A-6C, 8A-8C, 11Ba, 11Bb) recorded on the server 4 are displayed on the consumer terminal.

[0084] Subsequently, if consumer 40 receives food 200 from food provider 20 (purchases food 200 from food provider 20), food provider 20 provides food 200 to consumer 40.

[0085] [effect] In the food information management system of the present invention described above, not only "quality information 6B" and "quality information 8B" can be provided, but also "quality information 11Ba" and "quality information 11Bb," allowing consumers 40 to understand the quality of food from a more objective perspective.

[0086] Furthermore, by having food providers 20 record "Quality Information 6B" using "Quality Information 11Ba" as a reference, an improvement in the quality of "Quality Information 6B" can be expected.

[0087] Furthermore, by having the information provider 30 record "Quality Information 8B" while referring to "Quality Information 11Ba" and "Quality Information 11Bb," an improvement in the quality of "Quality Information 8B" can be expected.

For example, the server 4 may output a generation signal to an external quality information generation means 10, and the quality information generation means 10 may generate "quality information 11Ba" and "quality information 11Bb".

[0089] [Differentiation 2] In the embodiments described above, the example of a case where the handled product is "food" is used for explanation, but the handled product does not necessarily have to be "food"; it may be "other than food".

[0090] [Difference 3] In the embodiments described above, the case where the object of handling is "food" is given as an example, and in the modified example 1 described above, the case where the object of handling is "goods" is given as an example. However, the object of handling does not necessarily have to be "food" or "goods"; it may also be a "service". [Explanation of symbols]
