Product management apparatus, product management method, and storage medium storing product management program
First Claim
1. A product management apparatus, comprising:
- a tag information receiver that receives first tag information identifying a first wireless tag attached to a first product, and second tag information identifying a second wireless tag attached to a second product;
a group determiner that determines whether a sensor related to the received first tag information is present;
a group generator that generates group information including the first tag information and the second tag information when the group determiner determines that the sensor is present and when a difference between the time of reception of the first tag information by the tag information receiver and the time of reception of the second tag information by the tag information receiver falls within a specific range;
a sensor information receiver that retrieves environment information of an environment surrounding the sensor detected by the sensor; and
a product management unit that associates the retrieved environment information with the first tag information and the second tag information, included in the group information.

13. A product management method executed by a computer, the product management method comprising:
-
receiving, in a first reception step, first tag information identifying a first wireless tag attached to a first product; receiving, in a second reception step, second tag information identifying a second wireless tag attached to a second product; determining whether a sensor related to the received first tag information is present; generating group information, including the first tag information and the second tag information, when the sensor is present and when a difference between the time of reception of the first tag information and the time of reception of the second tag information falls within a specific range; retrieving environment information of a surrounding environment of the sensor detected by the sensor; and associating the retrieved environment information with the first tag information and the second tag information, included in the group information. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A non-transitory storage medium storing a product management program that causes a computer to execute:
-
receiving, in a first reception step, first tag information identifying a first wireless tag attached to a first product; receiving, in a second reception step, second tag information identifying a second wireless tag attached to a second product; determining whether a sensor related to the received first tag information is present; generating group information, including the first tag information and the second tag information, when the sensor is present and when a difference between the time of reception of the first tag information and the time of reception of the second tag information falls within a specific range; retrieving environment information of a surrounding environment of the sensor detected by the sensor; and associating the retrieved environment information with the first tag information and the second tag information, included in the group information. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
