Food Product Information Supplement System - Corresponding to Consumer Needs for Shopping and Eating Out

In this paper, the authors propose an effective information system that can supply food product information to meet consumer needs. Consumer awareness of food safety has recently intensified, and food allergy issues seem to be of increasing concern these days, hence the need for effective solutions are required. Improving the quality of food might be an important solution, but supplementation with key information for consumers might also be considered important. To help resolve this issue, the authors developed a prototype system to meet consumer needs based on the survey conducted. PlaceEngine is implemented for this system, allowing users to estimate their current location by utilizing Wi-Fi devices, and obtain information as to where they can obtain food that meets their requirements nearby.
