Product evaluation system and product evaluation method

摘要

A product evaluation system and a product evaluation method allow people to quickly, inexpensively, and accurately evaluate large amounts of products including those that do not have information attached in advance in the manufacturing stage. The system comprises an I/O component that functions as a product identification mechanism that identifies product type including at least one of product, product group, product brand, or product category, a characteristic acquisition mechanism that acquires characteristic information of the product, an evaluator that performs authentication and value estimations of products, and a data store that stores information related to the product. The evaluation mechanism performs authentication and value estimations of products based on characteristic information of the product acquired by the characteristic acquisition mechanism, and genuine product characteristic information, counterfeit product characteristic information, and value information and market information for each condition included in the information related to products stored in the data store.

主权项

1. A product evaluation system that evaluates products comprising:
a product identifier that identifies a type of a product selected from the group consisting of a product, a product group, a product brand, and a product category of said product; a product transport device including a transport assembly; a characteristic acquisition mechanism disposed inside of said transport assembly that acquires characteristic information of said product, said characteristic acquisition mechanism comprising at least a surface roughness measurement device; an evaluation mechanism that performs specific evaluation of said product including authentication of said product; and a data store that stores information related to said product, said information including counterfeit product characteristic information of said product, wherein said evaluation mechanism performs authentication of said product by comparing said counterfeit product characteristic information of said product with said characteristic information of said product acquired by said characteristic acquisition mechanism, and wherein said product transport device, said characteristic acquisition mechanism and said evaluation mechanism are configured to allow continuous evaluations of multiple products.
