[0001] The present invention relates to a temple and cemetery introduction method and a temple and cemetery introduction system for introducing temple and cemetery locations where new gravestones can be erected. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, an information providing system has been proposed that provides information related to graves using the Internet (see, for example, Patent Document 1). In addition, there are websites that introduce cemeteries via the Internet. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3199463 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, the information provision system of Patent Document 1 only provides information related to graves, and does not provide information on temple cemeteries where new gravestones can be erected. Also, if you want to erect a new gravestone in a temple cemetery, you have to directly inquire at the temple whether there is any space in the temple cemetery, which is not an easy thing to find. And when you find a temple with space in the temple cemetery and decide to erect a gravestone with that temple, you have to go through the cumbersome process of finding a stonemason who will erect the gravestone, consulting with the stonemason about the shape of the gravestone that will fit the size of the temple cemetery, and requesting the stonemason to erect the gravestone.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a temple cemetery introduction method and a temple cemetery introduction system that can easily find temple cemeteries where new gravestones can be erected and stonemasons who can erect gravestones in those temple cemeteries. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] According to this temple and cemetery introduction method, the terminal device can easily search for the temple and cemetery where a new gravestone can be erected and the stonemason that will erect a gravestone in the temple and cemetery.

[0008] Here, the temple cemetery display step may be a step of displaying the temple cemetery and the stonemason in association with each other. The temple cemetery display step may also be a step of displaying information about the stonemason in charge of the temple cemetery as one piece of information about the temple cemetery. Furthermore, the temple cemetery display step may be a step of displaying a selection screen on which the temple cemetery can be selected. In addition, the temple cemetery display step may be a step of displaying information about the stonemason with a hyperlink to a page specific to the stonemason. Furthermore, the method may further include a progress display step of displaying progress information in the process of erecting the tombstone in the temple cemetery on the terminal device.

[0009] In addition, in this method of introducing temples and cemeteries, a denomination display step of displaying a denomination selection screen on the terminal device; a temple display step of displaying on the terminal device a selection screen for a temple corresponding to the sect selected in the sect display step; The temple and cemetery displaying step may be a step of causing the terminal device to display information about the temple and cemetery for the temple selected in the temple displaying step.

[0010] This makes it easier to find a temple cemetery that matches the sect of the person searching for the temple cemetery.

[0011] The temple and cemetery introduction system of the present invention solves the above problems, A storage means for storing information on temple graveyards where new gravestones can be erected and information on stonemasons in charge of said temple graveyards; a server device that displays the information on the temple and cemetery stored in the storage means on a terminal device via the Internet; The server device is characterized in that it displays information about the stonemason in charge of the temple cemetery on the terminal device as one piece of information about the temple cemetery.

[0012] According to this temple and cemetery introduction system, a user can easily search from the terminal device for temple and cemetery locations where a new gravestone can be erected and for stonemasons who will erect gravestones in those locations. Effect of the Invention

[0013] According to the present invention, a temple cemetery introduction method and a temple cemetery introduction system can be provided that can easily search for temple cemeteries where new gravestones can be erected and stonemasons that can erect gravestones in those temple cemeteries.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0015] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0016] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a temple and cemetery introduction system 1 according to one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 also shows a terminal device 3 on which information is displayed by the temple and cemetery introduction system 1, a server administrator 4, a stonemason 5 that provides the information displayed on the terminal device 3, and a temple 6 that has entered into a contract with the stonemason 5.

[0017] As shown in FIG. 1, the temple and cemetery introduction system 1 includes a server device 2. This server device 2 displays various information on a terminal device 3 such as a personal computer PC or a mobile phone MP owned by a user (viewer) via the Internet IN. The server device 2 includes a storage means 21. The storage means 21 is composed of an SSD, HDD, or the like, and a database is constructed therein. The server device 2 displays various information on the terminal device 3 based on the data stored in the storage means 21.

[0018] The server device 2 is managed by a server administrator 4. The server administrator 4 manages the information stored in the storage means 21, and edits and changes the information to be displayed on the terminal device 3 by the server device 2. There may be one server administrator 4 or there may be multiple server administrators. The server administrator 4 adds information to the storage means 21 and rewrites the information in the storage means 21. The server administrator 4 may also modify the programs stored in the server device 2.

[0019] The server administrator 4 receives requests from multiple stonemasons 5 and information on the progress of the gravestone construction, which will be described later. The stonemasons 5 enter into a contract with the temple 6 to take charge of the temple graveyard owned by the temple 6. The temple graveyard that is the subject of this contract is a temple graveyard where a new gravestone can be erected. Hereinafter, a temple graveyard where a new gravestone can be erected may be referred to as an empty graveyard. The contract stipulates that when a gravestone is to be erected in the empty graveyard, the contracted stonemasons 5 will basically be in charge of the construction. The stonemasons 5 that have entered into a contract with the temple 6 transmit to the server administrator 4 a request to post information about the temple 6 with which they have a contract to be in charge on the website. The method of transmission is mainly email, but other transmission rules such as telephone may also be used.

[0020] In FIG. 1, the temple 6 that has signed a contract with the stonemason 5 is connected to the stonemason 5 by a two-dot chain line. As shown in FIG. 1, a stonemason 5 named a1 Stoneworks has signed a contract with a temple 6 named A1 Temple, a stonemason 5 named a2 Stone has signed a contract with a temple 6 named A2 Temple and a temple 6 named A3 Temple, and a stonemason 5 named a3 Stone Industry has signed a contract with a temple 6 named A2 Temple. Note that FIG. 1 shows only three stonemason 5 and three temples 6 for simplicity, but in reality, many other contracts are signed and requests and information are transmitted to the server administrator 4. Note that one stonemason 5 is in charge of one vacant graveyard, so in principle, two or more stonemason 5s are not in charge of the same vacant graveyard. Therefore, in Figure 1, Temple 6 named A2 Temple owns two or more vacant graveyards, and has concluded a contract of care for each of the different vacant graveyards with Stoneworker 5 named a2 Stone and Stoneworker 5 named a3 Stoneworker. However, as an exception, if the stoneworkers 5 agree with each other, it is possible for two or more stoneworkers 5 to conclude a contract of care for one vacant graveyard.

[0021] In the storage means 21, information on the temple 6 that owns the vacant graveyard, information on the vacant graveyard, and information on the stonemason 5 in charge of the vacant graveyard are stored in association with each other by the server administrator 4. In addition, in the storage means 21, the server administrator 4 successively stores information such as the decision on the person who will erect a gravestone in the temple graveyard that was vacant, and progress information on the erection of the gravestone. The information stored in the storage means 21 can then be displayed on the terminal device 3 via the Internet by the server device 2, and is displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3 when accessed by the terminal device 3.

[0022] FIG. 2 is a flowchart of a method for introducing temples and cemeteries according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] Each stonemason 5 individually negotiates with the temple 6 and concludes a contract for the specific vacant graveyard owned by the temple 6 (step S11). This contract for the vacant graveyard corresponds to an example of an association between the stonemason 5 and the vacant graveyard, and step S11 corresponds to an example of an association process. The stonemason 5 may conclude a contract for the vacant graveyards owned by the temple 6.

[0024] The stonemason 5 who has concluded the contract informs the server manager 4 of the conclusion of the contract and of the temple 6 and the vacant graveyard for which the contract has been concluded, and requests that the information be posted on the website (step S12). Based on the request, the server manager 4 stores the received information on the temple 6, the vacant graveyard, and the stonemason 5 in charge in the storage means 21, and makes the information viewable from the terminal device 3. Thus, when there is a request from the terminal device 3, the server device 2 displays the information on the temple 6, the vacant graveyard, and the stonemason 5 in charge on the screen of the terminal device 3 in response to the request (step S13). That is, by posting the information on the website viewable via the Internet, the stonemason 5 who has concluded the contract, the temple 6, and the vacant graveyard are displayed on the screen of the terminal device 3 in response to the request from the terminal device 3. At that time, the server device 2 also displays information for contacting the stonemason 5 who has concluded the contract. In this step S13, the process of displaying the information on the vacant graveyard and the information on the stonemason 5 in charge of the vacant graveyard on the terminal device 3 corresponds to an example of a temple and graveyard display process. This step S13 can be considered as an example of a stonemason's shop display step of displaying information about the stonemason's shop 5 with which the contract has been concluded. Step S13 also includes a sect display step of displaying on the terminal device 3 a sect selection screen for selecting a sect, and a temple display step of displaying on the terminal device 3 a temple selection screen for selecting a temple 6 corresponding to the selected sect. The display contents in step S13, including these steps, will be described in detail later. When posting information, the server administrator 4 may receive a posting fee from the stonemason 5.

[0025] Thereafter, when a contract is made between the user who viewed the posted information on the stonemasonry 5, temple 6, and vacant graveyard and the stonemasonry 5 and temple 6 to erect a gravestone in the vacant graveyard, and the owner of the vacant graveyard is decided (YES in step S14), construction of the gravestone begins (step S15). Prior to the start of construction, the stonemasonry 5 notifies the server administrator 4 that a contract has been made to identify the vacant graveyard and erect a gravestone, as well as the ID and password decided by the owner. The server administrator 4 rewrites the information in the storage means 21 about the vacant graveyard for which the construction contract has been made. As a result, the fact that the server device 2 has decided on the person who will erect the gravestone in the vacant graveyard is posted on the website.

[0026] In addition, the stonemason 5 notifies the server administrator 4 of the progress and construction schedule during the tombstone construction process. The server administrator 4, upon receiving the notification, saves the progress information of the tombstone construction in the storage means 21. As a result, the server device 2 posts the progress information on the website, and the progress can be viewed by at least the owner, who is the user who has signed the construction contract (step S16). When construction is complete (YES in step S17), the stonemason 5 notifies the server administrator 4 that construction is complete. The server administrator 4, upon receiving the completion notification, saves the construction completion information of the target temple cemetery in the storage means 21 and deletes the posting of the target temple cemetery from the website (step S18). Note that in step S18, instead of deleting the posting, the construction completion information may continue to be posted.

[0027] The following describes an example of a screen that the server device 2 causes the terminal device 3 to display. These screens are appropriately changed or updated by the server administrator 4 rewriting the data stored in the storage means 21.

[0028] FIG. 3 is an example of a screen displayed on the terminal device 3 in step S13 described above.

[0029] As shown in Fig. 3(a), the home screen displayed on the terminal device 3 displays a screen for selecting whether to search for vacant graveyards from temples 6 or stonemasons 5. The selection is completed by clicking on an underlined character among the characters displayed on the terminal device 3, and the next screen according to the selection is displayed.

[0030] When "Search by temple" is selected on this screen, the temple search screen of FIG. 3(b1) is displayed. As shown in FIG. 3(b1), a screen is displayed that allows the user to "search by region" and "search by sect / sect" for temples 6. In "search by region," prefectures are displayed as selectable options. However, regions other than prefectures, such as regional divisions and cities, towns, and villages, may also be displayed as selectable options. In "search by sect / sect," sects and sects are displayed as selectable options. The process of displaying this sect / sect selection screen on the terminal device 3 corresponds to an example of a sect display process. Hereinafter, both sects and sects may be referred to as sects.

[0031] When "Search by stonemason" is selected on the screen of Fig. 3(a), the stonemason search screen of Fig. 3(b2) is displayed. In "Search by stonemason", prefectures are displayed as selectable areas. However, areas other than prefectures, such as regional divisions and cities, towns, and villages, may be displayed as selectable areas, and a list of stonemason 5 as shown in Fig. 4 described later may be displayed directly without displaying prefectures.

[0032] Figure 4 is a stonemason's store selection screen that is displayed when a region (prefecture) is selected on the screen shown in Figure 3(b2). Note that "..." shown at the bottom of Figure 4 indicates that there are other stonemason's stores 5, but their display has been omitted. If there are too many stonemason's stores 5 to fit on the screen, scrolling the screen downwards will display more stonemason's stores 5.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 4, the stonemason's store selection screen displays a list of stonemason's stores 5 in the specified area. The process of executing the display of FIG. 4 corresponds to an example of a stonemason's store display process. As shown in FIG. 4, the list of stonemason's stores 5 displays, for each stonemason's store 5, the location of the stonemason's store 5, the name of the stonemason's store, the number of selectable temples indicating the number of contracted temples 6, the number of selectable graveyards indicating the number of contracted temple graveyards, and a comment from the stonemason's store 5. Of these, the name of the stonemason's store has a hyperlink that transitions to a unique website owned by each stonemason's store 5. Therefore, clicking on the name of the stonemason's store displays the website of the stonemason's store 5. Also, clicking on the number of selectable temples displays the selectable temples.

[0034] FIG. 5 is a temple selection screen that is displayed when a region for temple search is selected on the screen shown in FIG. 3(b1). In the explanation using FIG. 5, the explanation will be based on the case where a region is selected on the temple search screen of FIG. 3(b1). However, when a sect is selected on the temple search screen of FIG. 3(b1) and when a region is selected via the stonemason selection screen of FIG. 4, a similar temple selection screen is displayed except that temples 6 with different extraction conditions are displayed, so an explanation of the case where these are selected and the temple selection screen is displayed will be omitted. That is, when a sect is selected on the temple search screen of FIG. 3(b1), a temple 6 corresponding to the sect is extracted, and the extracted temple 6 is displayed on the terminal device 3. Similarly, when a stonemason 5 is selected on the stonemason selection screen of FIG. 4, a temple 6 that the stonemason 5 is in charge of and contracted with is extracted, and the extracted temple 6 is displayed on the terminal device 3. Among these, the process of executing the display of FIG. 5 in response to the selection of a sect on the temple search screen of FIG. 3(b1) corresponds to an example of a temple display process. Note that the "···" shown at the bottom of FIG. 5 indicates that the display of the temple 6 is omitted, and by scrolling downward, further temples 6 are displayed.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 5, the temple selection screen displays a list of temples 6 in the specified area. As shown in FIG. 5, the list of temples 6 displays, for each temple 6, the name of the temple 6, the location of the temple 6, the sect of the temple 6, the number of selectable graveyards (the number of vacant graveyards) owned by the temple 6, a photo of the main hall, a photo of the water drawing place, a photo of the parking lot, and a photo of the permanent memorial tower. Each photo may be enlarged by clicking on it. The temples 6 displayed here are the temples 6 that have contracted with the stonemason 5, and temples 6 whose contracts have all been terminated will no longer be displayed on this website. However, the number of selectable graveyards may be set to 0 and the display may continue. Users browsing the website can select a temple 6 of interest and click on the name of the temple 6 to view detailed information about the temple 6 and the vacant graveyards.

[0036] FIG. 6 is a temple and temple cemetery details screen that is displayed when Temple 6 is selected on the screen shown in FIG.

[0037] As shown in FIG. 6, the temple and temple cemetery details screen displays the details of the selected temple 6, including the name of the temple 6, the sect of the temple 6, the location of the temple 6, and the location of the vacant grave within the temple 6, as well as a plan of the temple 6. In addition, the dimensions of the vacant grave, the name of the stonemason 5 under contract, and a photo of the vacant grave are displayed for each vacant grave as a set of related information. The process of executing the display of FIG. 6 corresponds to an example of a temple cemetery display process. In the plan of the temple 6 described above, the temple cemetery where a gravestone has already been erected is shown as a black rectangle, the vacant grave is shown as a white rectangle with a symbol, and the temple cemetery under construction is shown as a hatched rectangle. In addition, the detailed information of the vacant grave is displayed with the same symbol as the symbol attached to the vacant grave, so that the relationship between the location of the vacant grave and the information on the vacant grave can be understood. The name of the stonemason 5 displayed in the detailed information of the vacant grave is provided with a hyperlink that transitions to a unique website owned by the stonemason 5. In addition, the detailed information of the vacant graveyard also displays a button that displays a pop-up (not shown) for writing questions or inquiries to the contracted stonemason 5. In FIG. 6, the button is shown as a double rectangle. In addition to the name, other information such as the address may be displayed as information about the stonemason 5. In addition, the display of the temple graveyard for which a contract has already been made between the user, the stonemason 5, and the temple 6 to erect a gravestone includes a link to a client's dedicated page that displays the progress of the gravestone erection on the terminal device 3 of the client, who is the contracted user. The client's dedicated page can be accessed by clicking on the client's dedicated page displayed in the detailed information of the vacant graveyard and entering a predetermined ID and password.

[0038] Figure 7 is a screen showing the progress of the tombstone construction process on the owner's personal page.

[0039] As shown in Fig. 7, the owner-only page displays the name of the construction process in the construction of the gravestone, the status of each construction process (completed or incomplete), the completion date or expected completion date, and a photo of the current state of the temple graveyard during construction. The process of executing the display of Fig. 7 corresponds to an example of a progress display process. This display allows the owner to easily grasp the progress of the construction of the gravestone without having to go to the construction site.

[0040] According to the temple graveyard introduction system 1 and temple graveyard introduction method of this embodiment, the user can easily search for vacant graveyards owned by temples 6 and stonemasons 5 that will erect gravestones in those vacant graveyards from the user's terminal device 3. Moreover, it is easy to obtain information on vacant graveyards, and by using the stonemasons 5 as a consultation window, the user can consult about vacant graveyards more easily than by consulting the temples 6 directly. In addition, it is expected that the stonemasons 5 will be able to sell themselves to the temples 6 by posting vacant graveyards on the website. In addition, since the temples 6 and the vacant graveyards owned by the temples 6 can be selected by sect, the user who is searching for a vacant graveyard can more easily find a vacant graveyard that matches the sect of the user. Furthermore, since the user can select a vacant graveyard after selecting a stonemasons 5, the user can select a better vacant graveyard by obtaining information useful for selecting a vacant graveyard from the stonemasons 5.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various modifications can be made within the scope of the claims. For example, in the present embodiment, the server device 2 is provided with the storage means 21, but the storage means 21 located outside the server device 2 may be used if it is accessible from the server device 2. In addition, in FIG. 6, an example is shown in which the information on the temple 6, the temple graveyard, and the stonemason 5 are displayed on one screen, but the information on the temple 6, the temple graveyard, and the stonemason 5 may be displayed on separate screens if the association between the temple graveyard and the stonemason 5 is known. In addition, it is possible to select two or more of the sect, region, and stonemason 5 to perform a composite search such as an AND search or an OR search. Furthermore, the detailed information on the vacant graveyard shown in FIG. 6 may also display information such as the distance to the water drawing place.

[0042] In addition, even if a constituent element is included only in the description of each of the modified examples described above, that constituent element may be applied to other modified examples. [Explanation of symbols]
