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.

1. A product evaluation system, comprising:
a characteristic acquisition device that acquires characteristic information of a product; and a computer that evaluates a product,the computer comprising:
a product information memory that stores a product type of a product including at least one of a product, a product group, a product brand and a product category, and identification information of the product; a characteristic acquisition method memory that stores an acquisition method for acquiring characteristic information corresponding to the product; a product identifier that identifies a product type of a product targeted for evaluation including at least one of a product, a product group, a product brand, or a product category, based on input information; at least one of a genuine product characteristic information memory that stores genuine product characteristic information of the product and a counterfeit product characteristic information memory that stores counterfeit product characteristic information of the product; a product condition memory that stores value information for each condition of the product; a market information memory that stores market information corresponding to the value information of the product; an evaluation task memory that stores a type of evaluation including any one of authentication, a value estimation, or authentication and a value estimation; an evaluation task acquisition unit that acquires the type of evaluation from the evaluation task memory; and an evaluation unit that performs a predetermined evaluation of the product targeted for evaluation,wherein:
the evaluation unit acquires the identification information of the product targeted for evaluation from the product information memory based on the product type identified by the product identifier, acquires the characteristic acquisition method for the product targeted for evaluation from the characteristic acquisition method memory based on the identification information, and acquires the characteristic information of the product targeted for evaluation from the characteristic acquisition device compatible with the characteristic acquisition method; the evaluation unite references the type of evaluation acquired by the evaluation task acquisition unit; when the type of evaluation includes the authentication, the evaluation unit performs the authentication by acquiring at least one of the genuine product characteristic information and the counterfeit product characteristic information of the product targeted for evaluation with reference to at least one of the genuine product characteristic information memory and the counterfeit product characteristic information memory based on the identification information of the product targeted for evaluation, and by comparing the acquired at least one of the genuine product characteristic information and the counterfeit product characteristic information with the characteristic information of the product targeted for evaluation acquired from the characteristic acquisition device; and when the type of evaluation includes the value estimation, the evaluation unit performs the value estimation by acquiring the value information of the product targeted for evaluation from the product condition memory based on the identification information of the product targeted for evaluation and the characteristic information related to the condition of the product targeted for evaluation acquired from the characteristic acquisition device, and by acquiring the market information of the product targeted for evaluation with reference to the market information memory based on the acquired value information.
