Method for discriminating production background of product by bar code system
First Claim
1. A method for discriminating a production background of a product by a bar code system, comprising the steps of:
- preparing an ES code (environmental protection and safety code) system for discriminating the production background of a product for an understanding by a consumer, the ES code system consisting of digit values of;
origin (country), district, commodity classification, gene modification, safety inspection, environmental contamination management, production environment, production method of raw materials, their production time, and serial number of goods shipped;
marking the ES code, an internet domain address bar code, a conventional producer ID bar code, and a serial number of goods shipped on each product;
reading the ES code and the bar codes by means of a reading means to obtain bar code signals, and connecting to an internet ES code service exclusive server to transmit the signals of the ES code and the bar codes so as to request for the production background of a commodity; and
receiving the requested production background of the product and its analysis result from the exclusive server through the ES code system, whereby the consumer can understand and discriminate the production background of the product.

Abstract
A method for discriminating the production background of products by a bar code system (related to Korean Patent Application No. 2000-12346) is disclosed, in which the production background of a desired product can be known quickly and easily by an ES code (environmental protection and safety code) marked on the products for the sake of the convenience of the consumers. The ES code system of the present invention is for consumers, whereas the conventional bar codes are for only producers and distributors. The ES code and a producer ID bar code are marked side by side on each product. A consumer can read these bar codes by means of a reading means, and can be connected to an ES code service exclusive internet server to transmit the read signals. The server can analyze the requested data (production background) on various items such as soil, water quality, air pollution degree, analysis information, factory noise, foul odor, generation of dusts, exhaustion gas, release of waste water, management of waste materials, ecological evaluation, and other analysis data. Then the server transmits the analyzed data to the consumer, so that the consumer can understand the production background of the product. Thus the procurements of environmentphilic products are encouraged, while the procurements of anti-environmental products are discouraged. Accordingly, the environment can be protected from contamination and pollution, while the product safety is promoted.
