Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a childcare gift system in which childcare services are provided. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, support systems for people raising children have been proposed to reduce the burden on them. For example, such support systems include a system that provides a childcare service to look after children, or a support service for purchasing childcare products (see Patent Document 1).

[0003] On the other hand, people who are raising children have a stronger sense of responsibility for their children than most people, and because they focus too much on raising their children, it is difficult for them to find time for anything other than raising their children. If a parent tries to find time for anything other than raising their children, they have to apply for childcare services of their own accord. However, if a parent applies for childcare services of their own accord, it feels like they are leaving childcare to someone else, and so the parent feels inferior.

[0004] In addition, childcare items could be donated to those who are raising children to help them find time for other activities. However, even if such childcare items were donated, the person raising children would not be able to use the time they spent on childcare for other activities. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2022-176721 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention was conceived from the new idea of ​​donating time to those who are raising children to use for activities other than raising the children, and its main objective is to enable those who are raising children to receive childcare services without hesitation. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] In other words, the childcare gift system of the present invention is a childcare gift system in which a childcare gift that allows childcare services to be received is purchased, and a childcare user who has received the childcare gift from a donor who purchased the childcare gift applies for the childcare services through the childcare gift, and is characterized in that it comprises a donor terminal that the donor operates when purchasing the childcare gift, and a server that is connected to the donor terminal via a network so that they can communicate with each other, and the donor terminal has a purchase request information input unit that is configured to allow the donor to input purchase request information indicating a wish to purchase the childcare gift, and the server has a purchase request information receiving unit that accepts the purchase request information inputted into the purchase request information input unit, a childcare gift information generation unit that generates childcare gift information to identify the childcare gift when the purchase request information receiving unit accepts the purchase request information, and a childcare gift information output unit that outputs the childcare gift information generated by the childcare gift information generation unit.

[0008] In this childcare gift system, when a donor inputs purchase information, the server generates and outputs childcare gift information, so the donor can purchase a childcare gift based on the output childcare gift information and give the purchased childcare gift to a childcare user. Since the childcare user receives childcare services from a donor who is a different person through a childcare gift, the childcare user can receive the childcare services without hesitation and can do things other than raising the child while receiving the childcare services.

[0009] A specific method of outputting childcare gift information includes having the childcare gift information output unit output the childcare gift information as electronic data, and the purchaser terminal further including an electronic data receiving unit that receives the childcare gift information output as electronic data. With this configuration, the childcare gift information is output as electronic data, so the donor can quickly donate the childcare gift by transmitting the electronic data of the childcare gift information to the childcare user.

[0010] Specific examples of the childcare gift information include a number or letters unique to the childcare gift, a code for an application-only page linked to the childcare gift, or a URL for an application-only page linked to the childcare gift.

[0011] The childcare gift information output unit outputs the childcare gift information on paper. With this configuration, the childcare gift information is output on paper, so the childcare gift can be mailed in paper form.

[0012] The childcare gift system further includes a childcare user terminal which is operated by the childcare user when the childcare gift is presented, and which is connected to the server via a network so that they can communicate with each other, and it is desirable that the childcare user terminal has a childcare gift information input unit configured to input the childcare gift information, and the server has a childcare gift information reception unit which accepts the childcare gift information inputted to the childcare gift information input unit, and an application form output unit which outputs an application form for applying for the childcare service when the childcare gift information reception unit accepts the childcare gift information. With this configuration, the childcare gift information is input from the childcare gift information input unit, and the application form is output from the application form output unit, so the childcare user who has received the childcare gift can apply for childcare services using the application form. Therefore, since the childcare user applies for childcare services using the childcare gift that was given to them, they can do things other than raising their child without hesitation while receiving childcare services.

[0013] The childcare user terminal further includes an application form acceptance unit which accepts the application form output by the application form output unit, and a childcare type selection unit which is configured to allow the childcare user to select in the application form the childcare type indicating the type of childcare service desired when the application form acceptance unit accepts the application form, and it is desirable that the server has a childcare type acceptance unit which accepts the childcare type selected by the childcare type selection unit, and an application completion output unit which outputs a notification that the application for the childcare service has been completed when the childcare type acceptance unit accepts the childcare type. With this configuration, the childcare user can select the type of childcare, and by selecting the type of childcare that the childcare user desires, the childcare user can receive childcare services that meet the needs of the childcare user.

[0014] Specific aspects of the type of childcare include the location where the childcare service is received, the time when the childcare service is received, whether or not there is an interview regarding the childcare service, or the childcare worker providing the childcare service.

[0015] It is preferable that the childcare user terminal further comprises a message data input unit configured to enable the childcare user to input message data which is a message to the donor when the childcare user uses the childcare gift, and that the server further comprises a message data acceptance unit which accepts the message data input to the message data input unit, a processed data generation unit which, when the message data is accepted by the message data acceptance unit, generates processed data by processing the message data, and a processed data output unit which outputs the processed data generated by the processed data generation unit to the donor terminal. With this configuration, when a childcare user uses a childcare gift, the processed data is output to the donor's terminal, so that the donor can not only know that the childcare gift has been used, but also feel touched by having donated the childcare gift through the processed data. Furthermore, by providing the donor with a moving experience of giving a childcare gift, the server can stimulate the donor to give another childcare gift and can use the message data for advertising to promote the use of childcare gifts. Effect of the Invention

[0016] According to the present invention thus configured, people raising children can receive childcare services without hesitation. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the childcare gift system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0019] <Overall structure of the childcare gift system> The childcare gift system 100 of this embodiment is a system for purchasing a childcare gift G that allows childcare services to be received, and also a system for applying for childcare services via the childcare gift G. Here, childcare services refer to a service in which a person raising a child has a childcare worker temporarily look after their child, or a service in which a childcare worker supports a family raising a child by giving advice or accompanying the family.

[0020] The childcare gift G is given to a childcare user, and when the user applies for childcare services, a childcare worker will visit the user and the user can receive childcare services. Here, the childcare gift G may be an electronic medium such as an email, or may be a paper medium.

[0021] Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the childcare gift system 100 comprises a donor terminal 200 operated by a donor who donates a childcare gift G, a childcare user terminal 300 operated by a childcare user to whom the childcare gift G has been gifted, and a server 400 connected to the donor terminal 200 and the childcare user terminal 300 via a network NT so that they can communicate with each other.

[0022] The donor terminal 200 is a terminal device operated by the donor when purchasing the childcare gift G, such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. The donor here includes not only natural persons, but also corporations such as companies that purchase the childcare gift G for employee benefits, etc.

[0023] The childcare user terminal 300 is a terminal device for applying for childcare services via the childcare gift G when the childcare user is presented with the childcare gift G, and is, for example, a smartphone, tablet, or computer. The childcare user here refers to a person who wishes to spend time other than childcare during the visit of a childcare worker, or a person who wishes to be advised or accompanied by a childcare worker, for example, during parental leave. The childcare user may be employed by the above-mentioned corporation, and may use the childcare gift G as an employee benefit, for example.

[0024] The server 400 is a computer that performs processes such as purchase processing for purchasing a childcare gift G or application processing for applying for childcare services via the childcare gift G between the donor terminal 200 and the childcare user terminal 300.

[0025] The functions of the donor terminal 200, the childcare user terminal 300 and the server 400 will be described below.

[0026] First, the functions and operations of the donor terminal 200 and the server 400 when the donor purchases the childcare gift G will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3(a).

[0027] The donor terminal 200 has a purchase request screen display unit 201 that displays a purchase request screen W1 on a display for inputting purchase request information for the purchase of childcare gift G, and a purchase request information input unit 202 that inputs purchase request information using the purchase request screen W1.

[0028] The purchase request screen display unit 201 displays a purchase request screen W1 for inputting purchase request information. Specifically, the purchase request information includes a request to purchase a childcare gift G, the donor's name, a selection of the type of childcare gift G (e.g., electronic or paper), or a desired purchase price for the childcare gift G. This purchase request input screen W1 is preset by the donor terminal 200.

[0029] The purchase request information input unit 202 is configured to allow the donor to input purchase request information into the purchase request screen W1 in order to purchase the childcare gift G. When the purchase request information is input into the purchase request screen W1, the purchase request information input unit 202 outputs the purchase request information to the server 400.

[0030] The server 400 has a purchase request information receiving unit 401 that receives purchase request information, a childcare gift information generation unit 402 that generates childcare gift information for identifying a childcare gift G, and a childcare gift information output unit 403 that outputs childcare gift information.

[0031] The purchase request information receiving unit 401 receives the purchase request information input to the purchase request information input unit 202. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3(a), the purchase request information receiving unit 401 receives the purchase request information output by the purchase request information input unit 202 via the network NT (S1).

[0032] The childcare gift information generating unit 402 generates childcare gift information when the purchase request information receiving unit 401 receives purchase request information. Here, the childcare gift information is, for example, a number or letters specific to the childcare gift G, such as a serial number or password, a code (for example, a QR code or barcode) of an application-only page linked to the childcare gift G, or a URL of the application-only page. In this embodiment, the application-only page is configured so that a number or letters specific to the childcare gift G can be input. The application-only page may be generated uniquely for each childcare gift G, or may be generated commonly for all childcare gifts G.

[0033] In this embodiment, the childcare gift information generating unit 402 generates at least a number or letters unique to the childcare gift G and a code or URL of a dedicated application page, and more specifically, as shown in Fig. 3(a), generates at least a serial number of the childcare gift G and a QR code of a dedicated application page (S2). Note that the childcare gift information generating unit 402 may generate any of the above childcare gift information.

[0034] The childcare gift information output unit 403 outputs the childcare gift information generated by the childcare gift information generation unit 402. Specifically, as shown in Fig. 3(a), the childcare gift information output unit 403 outputs the childcare gift information generated by the childcare gift information generation unit 402 as electronic data (S3), and the output childcare gift information is accepted by the electronic data acceptance unit 203 of the donor terminal 200 via the network NT.

[0035] When the electronic data reception unit 203 receives the childcare gift information, the donor can receive a childcare gift G based on the childcare gift information, and can donate the childcare gift G to a childcare user. The childcare user who has received the childcare gift G can then apply for childcare services via the childcare gift G using the childcare user terminal 300.

[0036] Next, the configuration and operation of the childcare user terminal 300 and the server 400 when a childcare user applies for childcare services via the childcare gift G will be described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3(b).

[0037] The childcare user terminal 300 has an input screen display unit 301 that displays an input screen on a display for entering childcare gift information, a childcare gift information input unit 302 that enters childcare gift information using the input screen, an application form acceptance unit 303 that accepts an application form W2 for applying for childcare services, a childcare type selection unit 304 configured to allow the user to select a childcare type, which is the type of childcare service, and an application completion acceptance unit 305 that accepts the completion of an application for childcare services.

[0038] The input screen display unit 301 displays an input screen for inputting childcare gift information. In this embodiment, when a childcare user reads the code or URL of the application-only page using the childcare user terminal 300, the input screen display unit 301 displays the application-only page. The application-only page is configured so that a number or letters specific to the childcare gift G can be input.

[0039] The childcare gift information input unit 302 is configured to allow a childcare user to input childcare gift information. When a number or letters unique to the childcare gift G is entered on the application page, the childcare gift information input unit 302 outputs the number or letters unique to the childcare gift G to the childcare gift information reception unit 404 of the server 400.

[0040] When the childcare gift information receiving unit 404 receives the childcare gift G-specific number or letters, which is the childcare gift information, the application form output unit 405 of the server 400 generates an application form W2 and outputs it to the childcare user terminal 300.

[0041] The application form receiving unit 303 receives the application form W2 output by the application form output unit 405. In this embodiment, the application form receiving unit 303 receives the application form W2 and displays the application form W2 on a display.

[0042] The childcare type selection unit 304 is configured to allow the childcare user to select the desired childcare type in the application form W2 when the application form reception unit 303 receives the application form W2. The childcare type here refers to the place where the childcare service is received, the time when the childcare service is received, whether or not an interview regarding the childcare service is to be held, or the childcare worker who will provide the childcare service.

[0043] The application form W2 has a childcare type selection field for selecting and inputting the childcare type for each childcare type, and when the application form reception unit 303 receives the application form W2, the childcare type selection unit 304 is configured to allow the user to select a childcare type from the application form selection field.

[0044] In this embodiment, the childcare type selection unit 304 is configured to select the place where the childcare service is received from the childcare user's home, a nursery school, or other places such as a coffee shop or an auto parts store. The childcare type selection unit 304 is also configured to select the time for receiving the childcare service, such as the date and time or the usage time. Furthermore, the childcare type selection unit 304 is configured to select the childcare worker who provides the childcare service, for example, according to the number of years of experience or the ability of the childcare worker. The childcare type selection unit 304 may be configured to select whether or not the childcare worker will participate in a seminar on child rearing, or whether or not the childcare worker will provide postpartum dietary support.

[0045] When the childcare user selects a childcare type via the childcare type selection unit 304, the application form W2 with the selected childcare type is sent from the childcare user terminal 300 via the network NT to the childcare type reception unit 406 of the server 400 (S4). When the childcare type reception unit 406 receives the application form W2, the application completion output unit 407 of the server 400 outputs a completion of the application for childcare services (S5).

[0046] The application completion reception unit 305 receives the completion of the application for the childcare service from the application completion output unit 407 via the network NT. The childcare user can receive the desired childcare service after confirming that the application completion reception unit 305 has received the completion of the application for the childcare service.

[0047] <Effects of this embodiment> According to the childcare gift system 100 of this embodiment, when the purchase information is input from the purchase information input unit 202, the server 400 generates and outputs childcare gift information, so that the donor can purchase the childcare gift G based on the output childcare gift information and can give the purchased childcare gift G to the childcare user. And, since the childcare user receives childcare services from a donor who is a different person through the childcare gift G, the childcare user can receive the childcare services without hesitation and can do things other than raising a child while receiving the childcare services.

[0048] In addition, according to this embodiment, the childcare gift information output unit 403 outputs the childcare gift information as electronic data, so that by transmitting electronic data of the childcare gift information from the donor terminal 200 to the childcare user terminal 300, the childcare gift G can be quickly presented to the childcare user.

[0049] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the childcare gift information is input from the childcare gift information input unit 302, and the application form W2 is output from the application form output unit 405, so the childcare user who has been given the childcare gift G can apply for childcare services from the application form W2. Therefore, since the childcare user applies for childcare services using the given childcare gift G as an opportunity, they can do things other than raising their child without hesitation while receiving childcare services.

[0050] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, childcare users can select a childcare type via the childcare type selection unit 304, so that the childcare users can select the type of childcare they desire and receive childcare services that meet their needs.

[0051] <Modified embodiment of the present invention> The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

[0052] For example, the childcare user terminal 300 may transmit a message to the donor terminal 200 via the server 400. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, the childcare user terminal 300 further includes a message data input unit 306 configured to input message data, which is a message to the donor. The server 400 further includes a message data acceptance unit 408 that accepts the message data input to the message data input unit 306, a processed data generation unit 409 that generates processed data by processing the message data when the message data acceptance unit 306 accepts the message data, and a processed data output unit 410 that outputs the processed data generated by the processed data generation unit 409 to the donor terminal 200. In addition, the donor terminal 200 includes a processed data acceptance unit 204 that accepts the processed data output by the processed data output unit 410.

[0053] When the childcare user finishes receiving childcare services via the childcare gift G, the user inputs message data, such as "Thank you for the childcare gift," into the message data input unit 306. Here, the message data is text, video, or the voice of the childcare user or the child of the childcare user.

[0054] The processed data generating unit 409 processes the message data input to the message data input unit 306 to generate processed data. Here, the processed data may be, for example, data in which characters have been decorated, or data in which subtitles corresponding to video or audio are created.

[0055] Thereafter, the processed data output unit 410 outputs the processed data to the donor terminal 200, and the processed data acceptance unit 204 accepts the processed data.

[0056] With this configuration, when a childcare user uses the childcare gift G, the processed data is output to the donor terminal 200, so that the donor can not only know that the childcare gift G has been used, but also feel touched by having donated the childcare gift G through the processed data. Furthermore, by providing the donor with the moving experience of donating the childcare gift G, the server 400 can stimulate the donor to give the childcare gift G again, and can use the processed data in advertising to promote the use of the childcare gift G.

[0057] In this embodiment, the childcare gift information output unit 403 outputs the childcare gift information in electronic data, but the output of the childcare gift information is not limited to electronic data. For example, the childcare gift information output unit 403 may output the childcare gift information on paper. In such a configuration, the childcare gift information is output on paper, so the childcare gift G can be mailed in paper form.

[0058] In this embodiment, the childcare gift system 100 is equipped with a childcare user terminal 300, but when the donor purchases a childcare gift G, the childcare gift system 100 may be configured not to include the childcare user terminal 300.

[0059] In this embodiment, the childcare user terminal 300 is equipped with an application form reception unit 303 and a childcare type selection unit 304, and the server 400 is equipped with a childcare type reception unit 406, but when a childcare user applies for childcare services through childcare gift G, the childcare user terminal 300 does not have to be equipped with the application form reception unit 303 and the childcare type selection unit 304, and the server 400 does not have to be equipped with the childcare type reception unit 406.

[0060] In this embodiment, the childcare type is selected on the childcare user terminal 300 after childcare gift information is input, but the childcare type may also be selected when childcare gift information is input.

[0061] Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it goes without saying that various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
