Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a remote diagnosis and treatment device for animals, which can exchange medical information for the diagnosis and treatment of animals among veterinarians in multiple animal hospitals via communication lines (networks) such as the Internet, and also relates to a diagnosis and treatment device for animals that can commission a direct mail distribution service. Background Art

[0002] Veterinarians in animal hospitals examine the bodies of domestic animals such as pet dogs and cats (i.e., pets) or other animals to judge and "examine" the condition, and based on the examination results and examination data, they "diagnose" to determine the treatment policy and perform "treatment" for the cure of diseases and the alleviation of symptoms. In this specification, diagnosis and treatment sometimes refer to any one or more of these examinations, diagnoses, and treatments.

[0003] In recent years, the role played by veterinarians in animal hospitals has been significant, and the information processed by animal hospitals has been increasing year by year. In animal medicine, in principle, veterinarians are so-called general practitioners who provide general diagnosis and treatment for a variety of animals. However, depending on the medical field, there are inevitably areas of expertise and non-expertise among veterinarians. Therefore, sometimes it is impossible to carry out high-level diagnosis and treatment smoothly and quickly relying solely on general practitioners. To solve this problem, in other countries, a specialist system divided according to the professional diagnosis and treatment subjects of veterinarians has been established in some places.

[0202] (h1)A DM distribution control communication circuit 78 that receives DM distribution information 49 from a first control communication circuit 18 via a server control communication circuit 38;

[0203] (h2)A DM distribution memory 76 that stores the DM distribution information 49 received by the DM distribution control communication circuit 78; and

[0204] (h3)A DM distribution unit 79 that distributes a DM to the delivery destination of the owner for each of the animals on the DM distribution scheduled date 67g ( Figure 4L ). A diagnostic report 15 based on the additional examination data 16 can be produced by a second veterinarian. In addition, a third medical record 13 including the second medical record 12 and the additional examination data 16 is sent from the first control processing circuit 1 to the second control processing circuit 2 via the server 3, and a diagnostic report 15 based on the third medical record 13 can be produced. Such a configuration is also included in the present invention.

[0205] According to the present invention, a remote medical treatment device 100 for animals and a remote medical treatment method using the device that can smoothly and quickly perform a high-level medical treatment on animals can be realized. For example, a general practitioner, i.e., a first veterinarian, of one or more first animal hospitals A, B, C (hereinafter, generally only represented as A) sends a second medical record 12 of an animal for which a diagnosis is requested to a specialist, i.e., a second veterinarian, of one or more second animal hospitals D, E (hereinafter, generally only represented as D). The second veterinarian makes a diagnosis based on the second medical record 12 and produces a diagnostic report 15, which is data recording the diagnosis result in characters, graphics, images, etc., i.e., a diagnostic report of a high-level medical treatment. The first veterinarian can obtain the diagnostic report 15 and perform a diagnosis and treatment. In addition, when the second veterinarian cannot make a diagnostic report 15 based only on the second medical record 12, the second veterinarian can additionally request the first veterinarian for additional examination data 16. Thus, the second veterinarian can produce a diagnostic report 15 of a higher-level medical treatment based on the data including the second medical record 12 and the additional examination data 16 and provide it to the first veterinarian.

[0206] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first control processing device 1 may only send the additional examination data 16 additionally requested by the second veterinarian, or may produce and send a third medical record including the second medical record 12 and the additional examination data 16.

[0207] The first control processing device 1 of the first animal hospital A and the second control processing device 2 of the second animal hospital D are connected to the server 3 via communication lines 5 and 6, so that a high-level medical treatment on animals can be smoothly and quickly performed.

[0208] From the first control processing device 1 of the first animal hospital A to the second control processing device 2 of the second animal hospital D, not only the second medical record 12 and the additional examination data 16 or the third medical record 13 based on the additional request are sent, but also the main application program 14 is sent simultaneously. Therefore, even if the main application program 14 executed in a certain first control processing device 1 is different from the program already executed in other second control processing devices 2, for example, the second medical record 12 can be read by re-executing the same main application program 14 as the first control processing device 1 in the second control processing device 2, and the additional examination data 16 or the third medical record 13 based on the additional request can also be read. In addition, a diagnosis report 15 can be created, and the first control processing device 1 can receive and read the diagnosis report 15. The main application program 14 sent to the second animal hospitals D and E can be only a program for the arithmetic processing required for the second doctor to create the diagnosis report 15 and to additionally request the additional examination data 16 from the first doctor. However, it can also include other programs. For example, it can also include programs for the arithmetic processing of all execution environments of each of the first animal hospitals A, B, and C.

[0209] Thus, for example, a structure can be realized in which a non-specific plurality of first control processing devices 1 and a non-specific plurality of second control processing devices 2 in different countries are commonly connected to the server 3. In this way, one of the plurality of first doctors can receive the diagnosis report 15 from one or more of the plurality of second doctors, and therefore, a high-level diagnosis based on the diagnosis report 15 can be reliably obtained.

[0210] In one embodiment of the present invention, since the first control processing device 1 sends the main application program 14 together with the second medical record 12 to the second control processing device 2, thereafter, when sending the additional examination data 16 or the third medical record from the first control processing device 1 to the second control processing device 2, the main application program 14 can be sent together, but the main application program 14 can also not be sent.

[0211] The second medical record 12, which is information obtained by deleting at least a part of the customer information (for example, information such as the name and address that can identify a specific pet owner) from the first medical record 11, is provided from the first control processing device 1 of the first doctor to the second control processing device 2 of the second doctor. Therefore, an objective diagnosis evaluation from the second doctor can be easily obtained. The first medical record 11 contains a large amount of customer information, pet information, etc., and is used for the diagnosis of the first animal hospital A based on the first processing circuit 17, and is also used for the retrieval of various information.

[0212] The first medical record 11 preferably includes the dates of diagnosis and examination, and can be used for observing the progress of the results of diagnosis and examination for diagnosis. However, the dates can also not be included.

[0213] In this specification, the name and address 72a of the owner in the customer information ( Figure 4J ), 72b ( Figure 4K ) also include the email address etc. such as the Internet email, and the email address is represented in the form of "account name @ (at sign) domain name", for example.

[0214] According to the present invention, the DM issuance information 49 stored in the first memory 10 of the control processing device 1 provided in the animal hospital A is sent via the communication lines 5 and 7 and then via the server 3, and is stored in the DM issuance memory 76 of the DM issuance device 4. The DM issuance device 4 is provided in the consignment object F of the business of issuing the direct mail 75. The DM issuance unit 79 issues the DM 75 to the delivery destinations 72a ( Figure 4J ) and 72b ( Figure 4K ) of each owner for each animal according to the DM issuance information 49. The DM 75 is typically a postal postcard 70 and also includes the concept such as email. The DM issuance information 49 includes: the vaccination history 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ) including the date for each animal; and the history 51 ( Figure 4A ), 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ) of the diagnosis data including the date. In addition, based on the diagnosis report 15 from the second control processing device 2 via the server 3, the vaccination history 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ) and the history 51 ( Figure 4A ), 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ) of the diagnosis data including the date are changed. As a result, the first processing circuit 17 calculates the DM issuance planned date 67g ( Figure 4L ). Therefore, the DM 75 recording the following content is issued on the DM issuance planned date 67g ( Figure 4L ). The content is the preset text 71a ( Figure 4J ) for reminding vaccination for each animal treated by the animal hospital A and the preset text 71b ( Figure 4K ) for asking about the treatment of the animal. In addition, the preset text 71a ( Figure 4J ) for reminding the owner of vaccination and the preset text 71b ( Figure 4K ) for asking about the treatment of the animal in the DM issuance information 49 can also be changed by the first processing circuit 17 based on the diagnosis report 15. Thus, the operation of issuing and delivering the direct mail (DM) 75 to the owners of the animals in the animal hospital is significantly reduced as much as possible.

[0215] In addition, according to the present invention, a remote diagnosis and treatment device 100 for animals capable of smoothly and quickly performing high-level diagnosis and treatment on animals, and a remote diagnosis and treatment method using the device can be realized. For example, a general practitioner, i.e., a first diagnosing doctor, in the first animal hospital A sends the second medical record 12 of the animal for which a diagnosis is requested to a specialist doctor, i.e., a second diagnosing doctor, in the second animal hospital D. The second diagnosing doctor makes a diagnosis based on the second medical record 12 and creates a diagnosis report 15 of high-level diagnosis and treatment that records the diagnosis result in characters, graphics, images, etc. The first diagnosing doctor can obtain the diagnosis report 15 and perform diagnosis and treatment. In addition, it can also be configured such that when the second diagnosing doctor cannot make a diagnosis of the animal based only on the second medical record 12 and creates a diagnosis report 15, the second diagnosing doctor can additionally request additional examination data 16 from the first diagnosing doctor. Thus, the second diagnosing doctor can create a diagnosis report 15 of higher-level diagnosis and treatment based on data (for example, the third medical record 13) including the second medical record 12 and the additional examination data 16, and provide it to the first diagnosing doctor.

[0216] The second medical record 12, which is information obtained by deleting at least a part of the customer information (for example, information such as the name and address that can identify a specific pet owner) from the first medical record 11, is provided from the first control processing device 1 of the first diagnosing doctor to the second control processing device 2 of the second diagnosing doctor. As the name and address 72a ( Figure 4J ), 72b ( Figure 4K ) of the sender and the delivery destination, i.e., the pet owner of the animal, are not sent to the second control processing device 2 of the second diagnosing doctor. Therefore, an objective diagnosis evaluation from the second diagnosing doctor can be easily obtained. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0230] In this specification, sometimes the owner of an animal is called a customer when viewed from the animal hospital side. The aggregate of information, data, etc. related to the customer as the owner and animals such as pets is called a medical record. In addition, each medical record includes a medical record obtained through arithmetic processing of retrieval from a large amount of information, data, etc. For example, it can be realized by a so-called electronic medical record system for inputting, outputting, and managing the content written on a paper medical record through a personal computer or the like. The spirit of the present invention is not limited to customers and pets and should be interpreted in a broad sense.

[0231] Figure 1 It is a block diagram showing the structure of remote medical treatment device 100 for an animal capable of commissioning the issuance of direct mail, which represents an embodiment of the present invention.

[0232] In recent years, veterinarians in animal hospitals have played a major role, and the information processed by animal hospitals has been increasing year by year. In animal medicine, in principle, veterinarians are so-called general practitioners who provide general medical treatment for various animals. However, depending on the medical field, veterinarians inevitably have areas of strength and weakness. Therefore, sometimes it is impossible to carry out high-level medical treatment smoothly and quickly relying solely on general practitioners. To solve this problem, in other countries, a specialist system divided according to the professional medical treatment subjects of veterinarians has been established in some places.

[0233] A system as follows has been proposed: To accurately remotely examine animals such as pets between the pet owner and the veterinarian, the quality of the images of the animal's body taken by the pet owner with a camera and the sound between them is improved for support (the aforementioned Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2022-44667). According to this prior art, for example, for the medical treatment in the medical field that a general practitioner of a certain veterinarian is not good at, it is impossible to supplement it with the medical knowledge that another veterinarian, that is, a specialist, is good at, and a higher level of medical treatment for animals is expected. The remote medical treatment device 100 for animals capable of commissioning direct mail publication can smoothly and quickly carry out high-level medical treatment for animals.

[0234] The remote medical treatment device 100 for animals capable of commissioning direct mail publication can smoothly and quickly carry out high-level medical treatment for animals.

[0235] The remote medical treatment device 100 for animals is configured to include: (a) first control processing devices 1a, 1b, 1c for first treating physicians, such as general practitioners, each provided in a plurality of first animal hospitals A, B, C; (b) second control processing devices 2d, 2e for second treating physicians, such as specialists, each provided in a plurality of second animal hospitals D, E; and (c) servers are respectively connected to the first control processing device 1 and the second control processing device 2 via communication lines 5a, 5b, 5c; 6d, 6e. In addition, a direct mail (abbreviated as DM) publication device 4 of a commissioning object F provided in the first animal hospital A is connected to the server 3 via a communication line 7.

[0236] Figure 2It is a block diagram showing the structure of the first control processing device 1. The first control processing device 1 includes a first memory 10, a first processing circuit 17, and a first control communication circuit 18. An input keyboard for medical data, etc. and an input / output device 41 for output display are connected to the first processing circuit 17, and a clock circuit 42 is provided. The clock circuit 42 outputs a signal of the current time indicating the date, input time, etc. of each data of medical treatment and examination. Examination data, etc. of the examination device 8 are provided to the first processing circuit 17. The examination device 8 outputs, for example, as described below, examination data related to blood, examination data of images based on X-ray films, ultrasonic images, pathological states based on microscopes, etc., and other examination data, and provides them to the first processing circuit 17 and stores them in the first memory 10.

[0237] Figure 3 It is a block diagram showing a part of the structure of the first memory 10. The first memory 10 includes and stores a first medical record 11, a second medical record 12, a third medical record 13, a main application program 14, and a diagnosis report 15 made by a second medical doctor. The first medical record 11 is set for each of one or more animals to be treated, that is, each pet, and includes: customer information related to the owner of each pet, that is, the customer; pet information as identification information related to each animal, that is, the pet; and medical treatment related information 19 made by the first medical doctor. It also includes so-called header information such as the name of the first animal hospital A, and if there is a second animal hospital D, it includes its name, etc. The customer information includes the customer's name, address, email address, and customer code. The pet information includes the pet's name, whether it is an object of pre-set direct mail (abbreviation: DM), and pet code. The customer code and pet code are, for example, identification codes composed only of numbers, which cannot be recognized by a second medical doctor other than the first medical doctor, etc., for a specific customer individual and a specific pet. The medical treatment related information 19 includes: medical treatment data 52, 53, 55 to 57, etc. described later regarding examination, diagnosis, and treatment; examination data 54 including images; and the dates, histories, etc. of preventive vaccinations, medical treatments, and examinations.

[0238] The second medical record 12 includes the customer code and pet code in the customer information and pet information of the first medical record 11, and also includes the medical treatment related information 19, etc. of the first medical record 11.

[0239] On the basis of the second medical record 12, the third medical record 13 includes additional examination data 16 added by the first medical doctor corresponding to an additional request signal 47 (refer to Figure 8 ), and the additional request signal 47 is a signal from the second control processing device 2 made by the second medical doctor described later.

[0240] The first memory 10 also stores receipt information 48, DM distribution information 49, etc. The receipt information 48 includes the expenses of the customer who checks out, as well as the medication (prescription, dispensing) of the pet of the pharmacy, food products, haircuts, etc.

[0241] The DM distribution information 49 is information provided by the first animal hospital A to the entrusted object F such as a company for the entrusted operation, which is to issue and deliver DM to each customer. If the main contents of the DM distribution information 49 are listed, such as Figure 3 shown, for example, it includes the email address, text, summer greetings, New Year cards, photos of pets, etc. of the entrusted object F, and also includes the name, address, email address, etc. of the customer required for delivering the DM. The text is the content recorded in the emails, postcards, summer greetings, New Year cards, etc. delivered to the customers who are the pre-set DM objects. For example, it is a notice for vaccines for pets, filariasis prevention, flea prevention, etc., a notice of filariasis, etc.

[0242] An example of the more detailed content of the DM distribution information 49 is shown in Table 1 below. The DM distribution information 49 is classified into a total of three categories of items I, II, and III, namely, I prevention category, II customer category, and III pet category. The DM distribution information 49 at least includes: the name and address 72a ( Figure 4J ), 72b ( Figure 4K ) of the delivery destination of the owners of multiple animals; the vaccination history 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ) including the date for each of the animals, and the history 51 ( Figure 4A ) of the diagnostic data including the date, 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ); and the pre-set text 71a ( Figure 4J ) for reminding the owner of vaccination and the pre-set text 71b ( Figure 4K ) for asking about the diagnosis of the animal.

[0243] The first processing circuit 17 also appropriately changes and corrects the vaccination history 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ) and the history 51 ( Figure 4A ) of the diagnostic data including the date, 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ) based on the diagnostic report 15 from the second control processing device 2 via the server 3. As a result, the first processing circuit 17, for example, calculates the date after a pre-set number of days from the last vaccination date, and obtains the DM distribution planned date 67g ( Figure 4L), and thereby appropriately change and correct the preset text 71a for reminding the pet owner of vaccination in the DM distribution information 49 ( Figure 4J ), and the preset text 71b for conducting a medical examination of the animal ( Figure 4K ), etc. Therefore, the DM is distributed on the DM distribution scheduled date 67g ( Figure 4L ), and this DM records the preset text 71a for reminding the vaccination of each of the animals treated at the animal hospital A ( Figure 4J ), and the preset text 71b for conducting a medical examination of the animal ( Figure 4K ). In addition, the first processing circuit 17 can also change the preset text 71a for reminding the pet owner of vaccination in the DM distribution information 49 based on the diagnosis report 15 ( Figure 4J ), and the preset text 71b for conducting a medical examination of the animal ( Figure 4K ). The content of the text of the DM can also be like this, including vaccination notifications, filarial worm notifications, medical examinations, prognoses, postoperative progress, etc., medication (prescription, dispensing), food, hair trimming, and other contents. Thereby, the operation of distributing and delivering direct mail (DM) to the pet owners of the animals at the animal hospital A is reduced as much as possible.

In Figure 4L In it, the DM distribution planned date, i.e., the delivery planned date 67g of the postcard 70, fees, number of copies, etc. generated by the entrusted object F for the business of distributing direct mail 70 are recorded.

[0249] Refer to again Figure 2 、 Figure 3, the first processing circuit 17 executes the main application program 14 stored in the first memory 10, creates the first medical record 11 to the third medical record 13, and stores them in the first memory 10. The first control communication circuit 18 outputs to the server 3: a request signal 44 of an animal for which a second veterinarian at the second animal hospital D is requested to diagnose, selected by the first veterinarian; the second medical record 12 of the pet for which the diagnosis is requested; the main application program 14; and the third medical record 13 corresponding to the additional request signal 47 ( Figure 8 ). The first control communication circuit 18 receives the consent signal 46 ( Figure 8 ) and the diagnosis report 15 from the second veterinarian of the pet for which the diagnosis is requested from the server 3, and stores them in the first memory 10. The first processing circuit 17 and the first control communication circuit 18 are implemented by a computer that executes the main application program 14 and the like.

[0250] Figure 5 is a flowchart for explaining the operations of the first processing circuit 17 and the first control communication circuit 18. It transfers from step r1 to r2 to create the first medical record 11 of the pet to be treated. In step r3, if there is no instruction from the first veterinarian for remote diagnosis through the input / output device 41, it is judged in step r4 whether there is an instruction for a business commission issued by the DM. If it is judged in step r3 that there is an instruction for remote diagnosis, the second medical record 12 is created in step r5. If one or more second veterinarians at the second animal hospital D, which are designated as the request objects for treatment by the first veterinarian, in step r6, the first control communication circuit 18 outputs the request signal 44 to the server 3 for the designated second animal hospital D in step r7, and outputs the second medical record 12 and the main application program 14 to the server 3 in step r8.

[0251] In the second control processing device 2 of the designated second animal hospital D, the request signal 44 via the server 3 is received, the main application program 14 is executed, and the second veterinarian studies the second medical record 12. As a result, when the request for treatment is agreed, the consent signal 46 is sent from the second control processing device 2 (refer to step u5 of Figure 9 described later). The consent signal 46 is provided to the first control communication circuit 18 via the server 3, is received in step r9, and the output of the request signal 44 is stopped in step r10. In other embodiments of the present invention, it may also be configured that when each diagnosis report 15 is desired based on the consent of each of the multiple second animal hospitals D for which treatment has been requested, the number of receptions of the consent signal 46 from each second animal hospital D is counted, and when it reaches the number of requests for treatment, the output of the request signal 44 is stopped.

[0252] In step r11, it is judged whether an additional request signal 47 from the second control processing device 2 of the second animal hospital D via the server 3 is received. In the second control processing device 2, when the second veterinarian deems the second medical record 12 insufficient and requests the first veterinarian to additionally send additional examination data 16 for the accurate diagnosis of the pet, an additional request signal 47 for sending the additional examination data 16 is sent and received by the first control communication circuit 18 via the server 3.

[0253] If the additional request signal 47 is not received in step r11, then in step r12, a diagnosis report 15 made by the second veterinarian based only on the second medical record 12 is received from the second control processing device 2 and stored in the first memory 10 in step r13. The first veterinarian can determine the treatment policy for the pet based on the diagnosis report 15 made by the second veterinarian to perform a high-level diagnosis and treatment. The operation ends in the next step r14.

[0254] If the additional request signal 47 is received in step r11, then in step r15, the first veterinarian makes and inputs the additional examination data 16 requested by the additional request signal 47, and in step r16, it is stored in the first memory 10 by the first processing circuit 17. The first processing circuit 17 makes a third medical record 13 for the second veterinarian that includes the additional examination data 16 based on the second medical record 12. In step r17, the first control communication circuit 18 sends the third medical record 13 and the main application program 14 to the second control processing device 2 via the server 3. In step r12, a diagnosis report 15 made by the second veterinarian based on the third medical record 13 is received. The third medical record 13 includes the additional examination data 16 based on the second medical record 12 and is stored in the first memory 10 in step r13. In this way, the first veterinarian can determine the treatment policy for the pet based on the diagnosis report 15 made by the second veterinarian based on the third medical record 13 to perform a high-level diagnosis and treatment.

[0255] In other embodiments of the present invention, instead of steps r16 and r17, the transmission of the information of the second medical record 12 and the main application program 14 sent in step r8 before can be omitted, the third medical record 13 is not made and sent, only the additional examination data 16 is sent, or the additional examination data 16 is sent together with the pet code for determining the additional examination data 16, etc.

[0256] The request signal 44 includes a code signal, etc., of the first control processing device 1 that determines the sending of the request signal 44. The consent signal 46 and the additional request signal 47 include code signals, etc., of the second control processing device 2 that determines the sending of them. Thus, the first control processing device 1 and the second control processing device 2 can accurately exchange signals such as information and data with each other.

[0257] Figure 6 It is a block diagram showing the structure of server 3. Server 3 includes a server control communication circuit 38, a server memory 30, and a server processing circuit 37. The server control communication circuit 38 is connected to the first control communication circuit 18 and the second control processing device 2 via communication lines 5 and 6.

[0258] The server processing circuit 37 stores the request signal 44 received from the first control communication circuit 18 by the server control communication circuit 38, the second medical record 12, the third medical record 13, and the main application program 14 in the server memory 30, and sends them to the second control processing device 2 through the server control communication circuit 38. In addition, the server processing circuit 37 stores the consent signal 46, the additional request signal 47, and the diagnostic report 15 received from the second control processing device 2 by the server control communication circuit 38 in the server memory 30, and sends them to the first control communication circuit 18 through the server control communication circuit 38. The server processing circuit 37 and the server control communication circuit 38 are implemented by a computer that executes the main application program 14 and the like.

[0259] Figure 7 It is a flowchart for explaining the operations of the server processing circuit 37 and the server control communication circuit 38. From step s1, it transfers to s1a. If no signal for commissioning DM issuance is received from the first control processing device 1, it transfers to the next step s1b. If it is determined that the request signal 44 based on the execution of step r7 of the aforementioned FIG. 5 is received from the first control communication circuit 18, then in step s2, the second medical record 12 and the main application program 14 based on the execution of step r8 of the aforementioned FIG. 5 are received from the first control communication circuit 18, and the server processing circuit 37 stores them in the server memory 30. In the next step s3, the request signal 44, the second medical record 12, and the main application program 14 stored in the server memory 30 are sent from the server control communication circuit 38 to the second control processing device 2.

[0260] In step s4, it is judged whether the server control communication circuit 38 has received the consent signal 46 from the second control processing device 2. In the second control processing device 2 of the second animal hospital D designated by the first treating physician, as described above, the request signal 44 from the server 3 is received, the main application program 14 is executed, and the second treating physician studies the second medical record 12. As a result, when the request for treatment is consented, the consent signal 46 is sent from the second control processing device 2 to the server 3. If the server control communication circuit 38 does not receive the consent signal 46, the operation ends in step s5.

[0261] If in step s4 the server control communication circuit 38 receives the consent signal 46 from the second control processing device 2, the server processing circuit 37 stores it in the server memory 30, and in step s6 sends the consent signal 46 to the first control processing device 1, and executes step r9 of FIG. 5 described above.

[0262] In step s7, it is judged whether the server control communication circuit 38 has received the additional request signal 47 from the second control processing device 2. If the additional request signal 47 has not been received in step s7, in the next step s11, the diagnosis report 15 made by the second medical examiner only based on the second medical record 12 from the second control processing device 2 is received, and then in step s12, the server processing circuit 37 stores the diagnosis report 15 in the server memory 30, and the server control communication circuit 38 sends the diagnosis report 15 to the first control processing device 1. Thus, step r12 of FIG. 5 described above is executed in the first control processing device 1.

[0263] In order to accurately diagnose the pet, it is insufficient for the second medical examiner to rely only on the second medical record 12. In order to request the first medical examiner to additionally send the additional examination data 16, the additional request signal 47 for the additional examination data 16 is sent from the second control processing device 2.

[0264] If in step s7 the server control communication circuit 38 receives the additional request signal 47, the server processing circuit 37 stores it in the server memory 30. The server control communication circuit 38 sends the additional request signal 47 to the first control processing device 1 in step s8, and executes step r11 of FIG. 5 described above. Thus, the first medical examiner makes the additional examination data 16 requested by the additional request signal 47, and makes and sends the third medical record 13 for the second medical examiner including the additional examination data 16 based on the second medical record 12 in steps r16 and r17 of FIG. 5 described above.

[0265] If in step s9 the server control communication circuit 38 receives the third medical record 13 from the first control communication circuit 18, the server processing circuit 37 stores it in the server memory 30, and in step s10 the server control communication circuit 38 sends it to the second control processing device 2. Therefore, the second medical examiner can make the diagnosis report 15 based on the third medical record 13 including the additional examination data 16 on the basis of the second medical record 12. Similarly to the above, if in step s11 the server control communication circuit 38 receives the diagnosis report 15 based on the third medical record 13 from the second control processing device 2, the server processing circuit 37 stores it in the server memory 30, and the server control communication circuit 38 sends the diagnosis report 15 to the first control processing device 1. Therefore, the first medical examiner can perform a high-level diagnosis based on the diagnosis report 15 made by the second medical examiner based on the third medical record 13.

[0266] Figure 8 It is a block diagram showing the structure of the second control processing device 2. The second control processing device 2 includes a second control communication circuit 28, a second memory 20, and a second processing circuit 27. The second memory 20 stores the second medical record 12, the third medical record 13, and the main application program 14 downloaded from the server 3 for each of the pets corresponding to the consent signal 46. The second control communication circuit 28 receives the request signal 44 between it and the server control communication circuit 38, and when the second diagnostician consents to the diagnosis request for each of the pets, sends the consent signal 46 for each of the pets, sends an additional request signal 47 from the second processing circuit 27 requesting the second diagnostician to perform the examination data not included in the second medical record 12 as additional examination data 16, receives the additional examination data 16 added by the first diagnostician corresponding to the additional request signal 47, and sends the diagnosis report 15 from the second processing circuit 27. The second processing circuit 27 executes the main application program 14 stored in the second memory 20, outputs an additional request signal 47 requesting the examination data not included in the second medical record 12 as additional examination data 16, and creates a diagnosis report 15 by the second diagnostician based on the third medical record 13.

[0267] Figure 9 It is a flowchart for explaining the operations of the second processing circuit 27 and the second control communication circuit 28. It transfers from step u1 to u2. If it is determined that the request signal 44 for the execution based on step r7 of the aforementioned FIG. 5 is received from the first control communication circuit 18 via the server 3, in step u3, the second medical record 12 and the main application program 14 for the execution based on step r8 of the aforementioned FIG. 5 are received from the first control communication circuit 18, and the second processing circuit 27 stores them in the second memory 20. By executing the main application program 14, the second diagnostician can study the second medical record 12. As a result of this study, when the second diagnostician consents to the diagnosis request, if it is determined in step u4 that the input / output device 43 is operated and the consent signal 46 is sent from the second processing circuit 27, then in step u5, the second control communication circuit 28 sends the consent signal 46 to the server 3. The reception of the consent signal 46 in the first control processing device 1 is judged in step r9 of the aforementioned FIG. 5. As a result after the second diagnostician studies the second medical record 12, etc., when the diagnosis request is not consented to, the consent signal 46 is not sent, and it transfers from step u4 to u12 and ends the operation.

[0268] If the second treating doctor studies the second medical record 12 and is able to diagnose the pet without additional examination data 16, then in step u6, the second treating doctor does not request the first treating doctor to additionally send the additional examination data 16, and thus, the additional request signal 47 is not sent. In the next step u10, the second treating doctor prepares and inputs a diagnosis report 15 based on the second medical record 12. In step u11, the second control communication circuit 28 sends the diagnosis report 15. The diagnosis report 15 is received in the first control processing device 1 via the server 3 in step r12 of FIG. 5 described above and is received by the first treating doctor.

[0269] In step u6, relying solely on the second medical record 12 is insufficient for the second treating doctor. When the second treating doctor requests the first treating doctor to additionally send the additional examination data 16 for the accurate diagnosis of the pet, the additional request signal 47 for sending the additional examination data 16 is sent in step u7.

[0270] The additional request signal 47 is received in the first control communication circuit 18 via the server 3 in step r11 of FIG. 5 described above. The first treating doctor prepares the additional examination data 16 requested by the additional request signal 47. In step r17, the third medical record 13 for the second treating doctor including the additional examination data 16 based on the second medical record 12 is sent by the first control communication circuit 18 together with the main application program 14.

[0271] The second control communication circuit 28 determines in step u8 the reception of the third medical record 13 and the main application program 14 via the server 3, and receives and stores them in the second memory 20 in step u9. The second treating doctor prepares a diagnosis report 15 based on the third medical record 13 including the additional examination data 16 based on the second medical record 12. The input diagnosis report 15 in step u10 is sent by the second control communication circuit 28 in step u11, received in step r12 of the first control communication circuit 18 via the server 3, and obtained by the first treating doctor. The first treating doctor can perform a high-level diagnosis and treatment through the diagnosis report 15 made by the second treating doctor.

[0272] Figure 10 is a block diagram showing the structure of the DM issuing device 4. The DM issuing device 4 includes a DM issuing control communication circuit 78, a DM issuing memory 76, and a DM issuing unit 79. The DM issuing control communication circuit 78 receives the DM issuing information 49 via the server 3 from the first control communication circuit 18. The DM issuing memory 76 stores the DM issuing information 49 received by the DM issuing control communication circuit 78. The DM issuing unit 79 issues a DM to the delivery destination of the pet owner for each animal on the DM issuing scheduled date 67g ( Figure 4L )

[0273] Figure 11This is for explaining Figure 2 The flowchart that follows Figure 5 and shows the operations of the first processing circuit 17 and the first control communication circuit 18 shown in Figure 2 . If it is determined in step r4 of the aforementioned Figure 5 that there is an instruction for a business consignment for DM issuance based on the input / output device 41, then it proceeds to Figure 11 Step r20, where pet information such as the name of the pet and whether it is a pre-set DM target is read from the first memory 10, and the name, address, email address, etc. of the customer are read in step 21. In step 22, the vaccination histories 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ), which include dates, for each of the animals are read, and in step 23, the history 51 ( Figure 4A ), 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ), which include dates, of the diagnostic data are read.

[0274] In step 24, through the operation of the first processing circuit 17 or the input / output device 41, the scheduled date for the next vaccination is determined based on the vaccination histories 67a, 67b ( Figure 4H ), which include dates. Therefore, the appropriate scheduled date for DM issuance corresponding to before the scheduled date for the next vaccination is determined through the operation of the first processing circuit 17 or the input / output device 41. Additionally, it can be appropriately changed and corrected based on the diagnostic report 15. Regarding the history 51 ( Figure 4A ), 67c ( Figure 4E ), 67d, 67e ( Figure 4F ), 67f ( Figure 4G ), which include dates, of the diagnostic data, the appropriate scheduled date for DM issuance for conducting a veterinary consultation for the animal is also determined in the same way. In step 25, through the operation of the first processing circuit 17 or the input / output device 41, the pre-set text 71a ( Figure 4J ) for reminding the owner of the vaccination and the pre-set text 71b ( Figure 4K ) for conducting a veterinary consultation for the animal are determined. In this way, in step 26, the DM issuance information 49 for the first memory 10 is created, and in step 27, it is sent to the server 3 through the first control communication circuit 18, and it returns to step r14 of Figure 5.

[0275] Figure 12 This is for explaining Figure 2 The flowchart that follows and shows the operations of the server processing circuit 37 and the server control communication circuit 38 shown in Figure 2 . If it is determined in step s1a of the aforementioned Figure 7 that there is an instruction for a business consignment for DM issuance based on the input / output device 41, then it proceeds to Figure 7 Step s20, and then it proceeds to Figure 12In step S20, the DM distribution information 49 is received and stored in the server memory 30, and then sent to the DM distribution device 4 in step S21. Subsequently, the process returns to step S5 in FIG. 5.

[0276] Figure 13 It is a flowchart for explaining the operations of the DM distribution processing circuit 77, the DM distribution control communication circuit 78, and the DM distribution unit 79 of the DM distribution device 4. The process proceeds from step Q1 to Q2, where it is judged whether the DM distribution control communication circuit 78 has received the DM distribution information 49. When the DM distribution information 49 is received, it is stored in the DM distribution memory 76 in step Q3. As described above Figure 4L If, for example, a business commission for DM distribution is received in step Q4, an acknowledgment of the commission is returned from the DM distribution control communication circuit 78 to the first control processing device 1 via the server 3. In step Q5, the DM distribution unit 79 distributes the DM 75. For example, as Figure 4J shown, it is printed on a postal postcard 70 by a printer and then delivered. Additionally, as Figure 4K shown, for example, it is sent to the terminal device of the pet owner via an e-mail or the like through a communication line 9 such as the Internet.

[0277] In other embodiments of the present invention, instead of the structure via the server 3 between the first control processing device 1 and the DM distribution device 4, the server 3 may be omitted, and the first control processing device 1 and the DM distribution device 4 are connected via a communication line.

[0278] As described above, the embodiments of the present disclosure have been described in detail. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various changes, improvements, etc. can be made without departing from the gist of the present disclosure. All or part of each of the foregoing embodiments can be combined within a suitable and non-contradictory range.
