A process of remembering and recalling an animal, whether existing or having existed.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for creating a document using a QR code to commemorate an animal's life and / or its aftermath. This method of remembering and preserving the memory of an existing or former animal is characterized by the creation and compilation of a book or collection, with or without a guided method, using a specialized website incorporating a software application designed for this purpose. The author includes texts, illustrations, drawings, photos, and videos providing information about the animal's life during its lifetime or after its death. The resulting book or collection is then registered and validated by a certificate containing a personalized QR code to make the content accessible. This QR code is affixed temporarily or permanently to an object, product, or any medium that allows it to be scanned by a tablet, smartphone, or other device designed for this purpose.

Description

Title of the invention: A method for remembering and recalling an existing or formerly existing animal

[0001] The present invention relates to a method of creating a document using a QR-Code to enhance the value of an animal while it is alive and / or following its death.

[0002] The process can be applied to an urn or a trophy or a painting or a rosette or a personalized cup, as well as to many accessories to commemorate deceased animals or by creating a collection of prizes won at animal exhibitions which incorporates a secure dynamic QR-Code which refers to specific sequences or extracts or to the entire collection or book of life.

[0003] The invention aims to prove that the pet existed and what its life story was. Thanks to the invention, it will be possible to remember the deceased companion by creating a work incorporating text, illustrations, drawings, photos, and videos.

[0004] It will also allow professional breeders to keep track of the prices and diplomas of said companion.

[0005] Prior art describes the existence of urns modeled according to the animal's breed or tombstones referring to the animal in question after its death. However, it is not possible to produce an entire secure structure where only certain portions are accessible according to authorizations delegated by the owner. The invention also applies to animals that are alive and win prizes at animal shows.

[0006] In plain terms, the invention acts as a life passport for the animal, of its life journey with a private individual or a professional breeder thanks to a personalized, dynamic and secure QR code accessible by a computer and / or a tablet and / or a smartphone whose work or collection of the animal's life is previously time-stamped and recorded on the blockchain to create a digital fingerprint of proof.

[0007] The invention aims to remedy the above drawbacks while providing solutions based on current technical knowledge.

[0008] A method for remembering and commemorating an existing or formerly existing animal by creating and compiling a work or collection, with or without a guided method, using a specialized website incorporating a software application designed for this purpose. The author includes texts, illustrations, drawings, photos, and videos providing information on the animal's life during its lifetime or after its death. The work or collection thus created is then registered and validated by a certificate containing a personalized QR code to make the content accessible. QR Code which is affixed temporarily or permanently to an object or product or to any medium allowing it to be scanned by a tablet or smartphone or from a device designed for this purpose.

[0009] The QR-Code is static or dynamic and, according to one variant, is provided with a photo of the animal and / or the name in its middle part.

[0010] The formation of the QR-Code and its application will depend on the material as the receiving support.

[0011] Thus, variants of the application of said QR-Code are possible in the following variations:

[0012] For rigid or semi-rigid substrates such as, for example, plastics, biodegradable and / or compostable plastics, ferrous or non-ferrous metals, alloys, composite materials, glass, wood, reconstituted wood, leather, synthetic leather, natural or synthetic rubber, latex, stone, reconstituted or artificial stone, the process will use the technical means of mechanical or manual engraving, computer-controlled mechanical engraving, laser engraving, embossing, die-casting and if the engraving is on glass, laser engraving is made possible in the subsurface, which will result in a surface alteration that is more subject to wear.

[0013] For other media such as cardboard, paper, textile, coated or composite textile, non-woven or non-woven, Paperstone (registered trademark) the QR-Code is printed with printers using conventional or vegetable inks or by the sublimation technique or cold or hot foil stamping.

[0014] According to another preference or variant of the invention, the QR-Code is directly molded into the material that makes the final product and will use the technique of injection or thermoforming or molding from a mold or 3D printing.

[0015] According to yet another variant, the QR-Code is affixed to labels whose function is permanent or removable, as well as fragmentable labels.

[0016] Access to the work or collection may be restricted to certain authorized persons. Thus, scanning the QR code opens a window that displays general information accessible to the public, while an identification code or password is required to access more confidential information.

[0017] According to yet another preference, the QR code displayed on a computer, tablet, or smartphone has a button function triggered by a mouse click or a touch button triggered by a finger press. Activation allows the display of general information, and additional secure information can be viewed either by accessing a password or by activating a fingerprint or biometric fingerprint.

[0018] It is perfectly understandable that the invention or one of the innovative parts may be applicable to humans or even to products or objects.

[0019] According to a variant of the provisions of the invention to strengthen the authentication of the data contained in the work or collection and before the production of the QR-Code, said work or collection is time-stamped and deposited on the blockchain to validate a digital signature and a hash fingerprint and then produce a certificate including a QR-Code containing all the information and that the QR-Code allows the information to be viewed and that its materialization on a given medium includes in its middle part the readable hash or the hash previously transformed itself into a barcode or a QR-Code.

[0020] Finally, it is specified that the software application for creating the collection or work allows a part of the work to be finalized and saved by producing a QR-Code and to be completed as the said work or collection progresses and that all the QR-Codes will form a Thematic QR-Code Block.

[0021] This written description uses examples to disclose embodiments of the invention, and also to enable any person skilled in the art to carry out embodiments of the invention, including the manufacture and use of any device or system and the performance of any incorporated process. The patentable scope of the invention is defined by the claims and may include other examples that are apparent to a person skilled in the art.

[0022] These other examples are intended to fall within the scope of the claims if they have structural elements that do not differ from the literal language of the claims, or if they include equivalent structural elements with non-substantial differences from the literal language of the claims.

[0023] Of course, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments or fields of activity previously described.
