The measuring device 40 is, for example, a device that captures an image of a cultivated land (a field or a paddy field) of agricultural products from above. As the measuring device 40, an earth observation satellite that acquires satellite images, an unmanned aerial vehicle (drones) that acquires images from above, a manned aircraft that acquires images from above, and the like can be used.

As illustrated in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c), a plurality of measurement locations A to F, each having a latitude range and a longitude range, are defined in the crop cultivation area. FIG. 2(a) is a diagram illustrating an example of a cultivated land when the growth of crops is at a predetermined stage. FIG. 2(b) is a diagram exemplifying a state of a cultivated land when crops have grown (growing conditions have progressed) compared to FIG. 2(a). FIG. 2(c) is a diagram exemplifying a state of a cultivated land when crops have grown further (growing conditions have progressed) than in FIG. 2(b).

As illustrated in FIGS. 2(a) to 2(c), the state of the cultivated land changes as the growth of crops progresses. For example, as crops grow and grow, the area of crops occupying a cultivated land increases, and the area of green crops gradually becomes larger than the area of brown or black soil. Alternatively, as crops grow and change color, the color of the cultivated land gradually changes. Therefore, by acquiring a color image of the cultivated land from the measuring device 40, it is possible to grasp the growth state of the agricultural products in the cultivated land. If the growth status can be grasped, it will be possible to predict whether or not agricultural products suitable for harvesting can be delivered on the delivery date. For example, by accumulating past reference images one week or two weeks before the scheduled delivery date in advance and comparing the reference image with the image of the specified measurement location, It becomes possible to determine whether or not the agricultural products at the measurement site can be delivered on the delivery date.

As exemplified in FIG. 4, the contract information database stores producer ID, purchaser ID, measurement location, measurement date and time, (a) item major classification, (b) item minor classification, (c) in association with the contract ID. ) origin, (d) delivery date, (e) shipping destination, (f) unit price per unit weight, and (g) delivery amount. This contract information is information related to the futures contract. Therefore, the delivery date represents a future (future) date. The futures contract here refers to a contract related to futures trading, such as a verbal promise, a contract when a seal or signature is affixed to the contract document, a contract when the contract information is converted to an electronic file such as PDF ( (regardless of the presence or absence of a seal or signature), a contract when notifying the seller terminal 20 of the seller subject to the contract and the purchaser terminal 30 of the purchaser subject to the contract that the contract has been completed, etc. including. If the notice includes the terms and conditions of sale that have been bid on, it may include a link to a web page containing the terms and conditions of sale that have been bid on. The measurement site is the cultivated land where the contracted agricultural products are grown. The measurement date and time is the measurement date and time specified for the measurement location.

FIG. 5 is a diagram exemplifying a sales conditions database stored in the sales conditions storage unit 12. As shown in FIG. As exemplified in FIG. 5, in the sales condition database, producer ID, (a) item major classification, (b) item minor classification, (c) production area, (d) delivery date, Sales conditions such as (e) shipping destination, (f) unit price per unit weight, (g) delivery amount, and (h) planned cultivation area are associated. The sales conditions are information input by each producer using the input device 31 of his/her own producer terminal 30 . The producer ID may be an ID entered by the producer when logging in, or may be an ID assigned to each producer terminal 30 . (h) The planned cultivation area may be information registered in advance when the producer ID is issued. Each sales condition is accumulated in the sales condition database by each producer inputting the sales conditions.

(a) The item major classification is the type of merchandise and the like, and is an item for roughly classifying merchandise. (a) The item major classification is, for example, the item. Examples of crops include strawberries, apples, spinach, lettuce, and the like. (b) Item small classification is an item for classifying products in more detail. (b) The small item classification is, for example, the brand name or variety name of each product. Examples of brand names include Ichigo no Amaou (registered trademark). (c) The place of production is the place where the product is cultivated, for example, each prefecture or each city. (d) The delivery date is the desired delivery date of the product. (d) The delivery date may be a date of one day, or may have a period of several days. (e) The shipping destination is the place where the product is shipped, for example, each prefecture, each city, etc., and may be a specific place such as a warehouse designated by the purchaser.

The identifying unit 14 acquires contract information about the contract ID of a predetermined futures contract from the contract information database stored in the contract information storage unit 11 . Next, the specifying unit 14 specifies the measurement location and the measurement date and time of the contract information from the contract information acquired from the contract information database.

Next, the growing condition acquiring unit 15 acquires the growing condition of the crop at the measurement location and the measurement date and time specified by the specifying unit 14 from the measuring device 40 . For example, the growth condition acquiring unit 15 acquires an image of the measurement location and the measurement date specified by the specifying unit 14 from the measuring device 40 . A date before the delivery date is specified as the measurement date and time. For example, as the measurement date and time, dates such as three days before the delivery date, one week before, and two weeks before are specified. The difference between the delivery date and the measurement date and time may be common to each crop, or may be determined individually for each type of crop.

Next, the judging unit 16 judges the contract nonfulfillment risk of the futures contract according to the growth status acquired by the growth status acquisition unit 15 . For example, the determination unit 16 quantifies the possibility that the agricultural products related to the futures contract cannot be delivered on the delivery date in an appropriate growth state. For example, the determination unit 16 converts the probability into a numerical value between 1% and 100%. For example, if the ratio of the crop area to the cultivated area (total of soil and crops) in the image of the specified measurement date and time is within the appropriate range, the value is lowered, and if it is out of the appropriate range. If so, increase the number. Alternatively, if the color of the crop in the image of the designated measurement date and time is within the appropriate range, the numerical value is decreased, and if it is out of the appropriate range, the numerical value is increased. Alternatively, the higher the similarity to the reference image of the same measurement location in the past, the lower the numerical value, and the lower the similarity to the reference image, the higher the numerical value.

The result transmission unit 17 transmits the determination result (quantified default risk) of the determination unit 16 to the producer terminal 30 of the producer ID included in the contract information of the futures contract. For example, the result transmission unit 17 transmits the determination result to the producer terminal 30 using e-mail or the like.

The determination result transmitted by the result transmission unit 17 is displayed on the display device 32 of the producer terminal 30 . Based on the judgment result displayed on the display device 32, the producer judges whether or not the contracted futures contract can be fulfilled. When the producer determines that the futures contract can be fulfilled, the producer uses the input device 31 or the like to transmit information indicating that the futures contract can be fulfilled to the monitoring device 10 . When the producer determines that the futures contract cannot be fulfilled, the producer uses the input device 31 or the like to transmit information to the monitoring device 10 indicating that the futures contract cannot be fulfilled. In this case, the producer may transmit information to the effect that the contract for the entire delivery amount cannot be fulfilled, or may transmit information to the effect that the contract cannot be fulfilled for a specified delivery amount.

The change history storage unit 13 stores the information received from the producer terminal 30 in the change history database. FIG. 6 is a diagram exemplifying the change history database. As exemplified in FIG. 6, the change history database stores default delivery quantities and sales condition IDs in association with contract IDs. The change history storage unit 13 first identifies the contract ID and the default delivery amount from the information received from the producer terminal 30, and stores them in the change history database.

The alternative plan transmission unit 18 refers to the change history database stored in the change history storage unit 13 and identifies the default delivery amount related to the contract ID. Next, the alternative plan transmission unit 18 refers to the sales condition database stored in the sales condition storage unit 12, and selects an alternative plan for the futures contract. There may be one alternative or multiple alternatives. The alternative sending unit 18 sends the selected alternative to the purchaser terminal 20 . In this case, the alternative sending unit 18 recalculates the payment fee and sends it to the purchaser terminal 20 . If the payment fee for the alternative plan is higher than the payment fee for the futures contract, the alternative sending unit 18 subtracts the difference between the original plan and the alternative plan and sends information about the payment of the payment fee for the futures contract to the purchaser. The terminal 20 transmits the difference between the original plan and the alternative plan to the operator terminal 60. - 特許庁Accordingly, the purchaser can accept alternative agricultural product arrivals at the rate paid for the futures contract.

For example, it is assumed that the delivery amount of the initial futures contract was 100 kg at a unit price of 100 yen/kg, and is changed to 80 kg due to poor growth. On the other hand, it is assumed that another producer delivers 20 kg at a unit price of 120 yen/kg according to the alternative plan. In this case, the difference of 20 yen/kg×20 kg is not borne by the purchaser, but by others (for example, the operator of the contract management system 100).

When the change history storage unit 13 receives information indicating acceptance of any of the alternatives from the purchaser terminal 20, the change history storage unit 13 stores the sales condition ID of the accepted alternative in the change history database in association with the contract ID. to store As a result, the contract processing server or the like that performs contract processing performs contract processing between the purchaser associated with the contract ID and the producer associated with the sales condition ID. The monitoring device 100 may have functions such as a contract processing server that performs contract processing.

Here, an example of a method of selecting alternatives will be described. For example, the alternative sending unit 18 refers to the sales conditions database stored in the sales conditions storage unit 12, and selects sales conditions that match or are similar to the sales conditions input by the producer as alternatives. , create a prioritized list. The alternative proposal transmission unit 18 may extract all the sales conditions stored in the sales condition database and give priority to them. In addition, the alternative plan transmission unit 18 refers to the change history database stored in the change history storage unit 13 to identify the default delivery amount related to the contract ID, and the contract information storage unit 11 determines the contract conditions other than the default delivery amount. After linking the contract information in the stored contract information database with the contract ID, the purchase conditions may be disclosed on the web page or notified to the producer terminal 30 . The steps 1 to 3 for creating a list of sales conditions will be described in detail below.

Let i related to a futures contract be a contract ID, and contract information x(i) is defined as (a(i), b(i), c(i), d(i)). a(i) is the item major classification of the contract information i, such as strawberries (for raw consumption). b(i) is the item small classification b(i) of the contract information i, such as Amaou (registered trademark). c(i) is the origin of the contract information i, such as Fukuoka prefecture, for example. d(i) is the delivery date of the contract information i, which is August 3, 2021 as an example.

When the contract information x(i) is input, each sales condition p(j)=(a(j), b(j), c(j) in the sales conditions database stored in the sales conditions storage unit 12 , d(j)) are ranked. "j" corresponds to the sales condition ID.

(Creation process 1)
First, the alternative sending unit 18 identifies a set of p(j) where a(i)=a(j). That is, the group G whose item major classification is "strawberries (for eating raw)" is specified.

(Creation process 2)
The alternative sending unit 18 defines one week as "seven days from Monday to Sunday". Note that the delivery time d(i) can be a section such as August 3rd to August 5th, but does not span different weeks. In other words, the alternative sending unit 18 determines only one week to which any delivery time d(i) belongs. The alternative sending unit 18 represents the week to which d(i) belongs as w(d(i)). This w(d(i)) means that the d(i)-th day from the service start date belongs to the w(d(i))-th week.

The alternative plan transmission unit 18 determines the distance between the two delivery times d(i) and d(j) by the "difference between the weeks to which they belong". Specifically, the alternative sending unit 18 calculates the distance dist(d(i), d(j)) as |w(d(i))-w(d(j))|. For example, d(i) = August 3 belongs to w(d(i)) = 10th week of service start, and d(j) = August 17 belongs to w(d(j)) of service start. = belonging to the 12th week, the distance dist(d(i), d(j))=|10−12|=2.

(Creation step 3)
The alternative proposal transmission unit 18 divides the group G into a plurality of groups (eg, 17 groups), and ranks the prices and transportation costs within each group in order of preference for the purchaser. For example, the alternative sending unit 18 may transmit x(i)=(a(i), b(i), c(i), d(i))=(Strawberry (for raw consumption), Amaou (registered trademark), Fukuoka Prefecture, August 3, 2021) are grouped by p(j) as follows.
_1st group G1: Amaou (registered trademark), same week, Fukuoka prefecture 2nd group _G2 : Amaou (registered trademark), same week, non-Fukuoka prefecture 3rd group _G3 : Amaou (registered trademark), 1 week different , Fukuoka Prefecture 4th Group G ₄ : Amaou (registered trademark), 1 week different, non-Fukuoka Prefecture 5th Group G ₅ : Amaou (registered trademark), 2 weeks different, Fukuoka Prefecture 6th Group G ₆ : Amaou (registered trademark) ), 2 weeks different, non-Fukuoka prefecture 7th group G ₇ : Amaou (registered trademark), 3 weeks different, Fukuoka prefecture 8th group G ₈ : Amaou (registered trademark), 3 weeks different, non-Fukuoka prefecture 9th group G ₉ : Strawberry (for raw consumption), same week, Fukuoka prefecture 10th group G ₁₀ : Strawberry (for raw consumption), same week, non-Fukuoka prefecture 11th group G ₁₁ : Strawberry (for raw consumption), 1 week different, Fukuoka prefecture No. 12 Group G ₁₂ : Strawberry (for raw eating), 1 week difference, non-Fukuoka Prefecture 13th Group G ₁₃ : Strawberry (for raw eating), 2 weeks difference, Fukuoka Prefecture 14th Group G ₁₄ : Strawberry (for raw eating), 2 weeks No, non-Fukuoka Prefecture 15th Group G ₁₅ : Strawberry (for raw consumption), 3 weeks difference, Fukuoka Prefecture 16th Group G ₁₆ : Strawberry (for raw consumption), 3 weeks difference, Fukuoka Prefecture 17th Group G ₁₇ : 4 weeks or more different

A higher group with a smaller group number has a higher rank of p(j). Also, within each group _Gm , (x(j), p(j)) are ranked in order of price and transportation cost advantage to the purchaser.

The process of creating a list of alternatives is not limited to the above. For example, a(i), b(i), c(i), and d(i) of contract information x(i)=(a(i), b(i), c(i), d(i)) ) are quantified, and a(j), b(j), c(j) of each sales condition p(j) = (a(j), b(j), c(j), d(j)), and d(j) may be quantified, the distance between the contract information x(i) and each sales condition p(j) may be calculated, and the sales conditions may be rearranged in ascending order of the distance.

Next, exchange of information between the units will be described. FIG. 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the operation of the contract management system 100. As shown in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 7, the identifying unit 14 acquires contract information of a specific contract ID from the contract information database stored in the contract information storage unit 11.

When the change history storage unit 13 receives information on nonfulfillment of the contract from the producer terminal 30, the change history storage unit 13 stores the nonfulfilled delivery amount and sales condition ID in the change history database. The alternative sending unit 18 refers to the sales terms in the sales terms database stored in the sales terms storage unit 12 and the default delivery amount in the database stored in the change history storage unit 13, and selects or purchases an alternative plan for the futures contract. It is registered as a condition and transmitted to the purchaser terminal 20. - 特許庁When the change history storage unit 13 receives information indicating acceptance of any of the alternatives from the purchaser terminal 20, the change history storage unit 13 stores the sales condition ID of the accepted alternative in the change history database.

FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating a flowchart representing details of the operation of the monitoring device 10. As shown in FIG. As illustrated in FIG. 8, the identification unit 14 acquires contract information of a specific contract ID from the contract information database stored in the contract information storage unit 11 (step S1). For example, the identification unit 14 acquires an unacquired contract ID from the contract information database stored in the contract information storage unit 11 .

Next, the specifying unit 14 specifies the measurement location and the measurement date and time of the contract information from the contract information acquired from the contract information database (step S2).
