The information storage unit 57 is not limited to the storage 33 in the server 30, and may be a storage device separate from the server 30.
[0017] 5 is a diagram showing an example of setting a temple account in the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. The temple account may be set from the temple terminal 20, for example.
[0018] The temple terminal 20, for example, accesses an account creation URL and inputs account creation information (step S11). The account creation information is basic information such as a login ID, password, temple name, address, telephone number, and email address. The temple terminal 20 transmits the input account creation information to the server 30. The server 30 that receives the account creation information creates authentication information using the account setting unit 51 (step S12) and transmits the authentication information to, for example, the email address of the account creation information. The temple terminal 20 inputs information required for authentication based on the authentication information received at the email address (step S13) and transmits it to the server 30. The server 30 that receives the information required for authentication performs authentication using the account setting unit 51 (step S14) and transmits, for example, information to be additionally input to the email address. The temple terminal 20 inputs payment information, worship available date and time information, etc. as additional input information based on the additional information to be input received at the email address (step S15), and transmits it to the server 30. Server 30, which has received the additional input information, performs the setting process for the temple account based on the received additional input information (step S16), and sends a notification that the setting has been completed to the email address. This completes the setting of the temple account (step S17).
[0019] 6 is a diagram showing an example of setting a user account in the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. The user account may be set from the user terminal 10, for example.
[0020] The user terminal 10, for example, accesses an account creation URL and inputs account creation information (step S21). The account creation information is basic information such as a login ID, password, name, address, telephone number, email address, and the name of the temple to be registered. The user terminal 10 transmits the input account creation information to the server 30. The server 30 that has received the account creation information creates authentication information by the account setting unit 51 (step S22) and transmits the authentication information to, for example, the email address of the account creation information. The user terminal 10 inputs information required for authentication based on the authentication information received at the email address (step S23) and transmits the information to the server 30. The server 30 that has received the information required for authentication performs authentication by the account setting unit 51 (step S24), performs a user account setting process, and transmits a message to the email address indicating that the setting has been completed. This completes the setting of the user account (step S25).
[0021] FIG. 7 is an example of a temple parishioner database stored in the information storage unit 57. In the temple parishioner database, for example, ID, name, address, telephone number, grave visit date information, last grave visit date information, plot number (number indicating the location of the grave in the cemetery or graveyard), etc. are stored for each temple. These may be created using the grave visit system 1 from information obtained from the user account and information previously owned by the temple. Grave visit date information is information on the dates on which grave visits are customarily recommended, such as the anniversary of death, monthly death anniversary, Bon, spring equinox, and autumn equinox. It may be set independently by the temple, independent of custom. Instead of or together with the plot number, the location of the grave shown on a still image map may be stored, or the location of each user's grave may be registered on a map accessible online, and access information to the map (such as a URL for accessing web content) may be stored.
[0022] 8 is a diagram showing an example of a grave visiting service (reservation for visiting a grave) by the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. The server 30 transmits a grave visiting reservation guide to the user terminal 10 (step S31). The user terminal 10 makes a grave visiting reservation and makes a payment to the server 30 (step S32). The server 30 provides reservation information and access information to the user terminal 10 and the temple terminal 20 based on the grave visiting reservation from the user terminal 10 (steps S33, S34).
[0023] 9 is an example of a flowchart of processing by the server 30 regarding a grave visiting service (grave visiting reservation guide) by the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, grave visiting reservation processing by the grave visiting system 1 (server 30) will be described.
[0024] First, the guidance providing unit 52 acquires grave visit date information, for example, from the parishioner database stored in the information storage unit 57 (step S41). Then, based on the grave visit date information, it is determined whether or not to create a grave visit reservation guide (step S42). For example, based on the date of death information of the deceased acquired as the grave visit date information and today's date, if it is a predetermined period (for example, 1 to 2 months) before the date of death, it is determined that a grave visit reservation guide should be created (step S42-Yes). If not (step S42-No), the process ends.
[0025] The guidance providing unit 52 can use at least one of the following as the grave visiting date information for determining whether to create a grave visiting reservation guide: the anniversary of death, the monthly anniversary of death, Bon, the spring equinox, the autumn equinox, and the like. The grave visiting date information to be prioritized for creating a grave visiting reservation guide may be determined unilaterally for all users (for example, a grave visiting reservation guide is sent to all users before the equinox), or the setting may be changed for each user. The guidance providing unit 52 may also acquire information on the date of past grave visiting together with the grave visiting date information from the information storage unit 57. For example, the guidance providing unit 52 determines whether to create a grave visiting reservation guide for a user based on the grave visiting date information and the grave visiting date information. It may determine to create a grave visiting reservation guide for a user who has not visited a grave for a predetermined period of time in the past (for example, within one year, two years, three years, etc.).
[0026] If it is determined that the grave visit reservation guide should be created, the guide providing unit 52 creates the grave visit reservation guide (step S43), provides the grave visit reservation guide to the user terminal 10 (step S44), and ends the process.
[0027] 10 is an example of a flowchart of processing by the user terminal 10 regarding a grave visiting service (reservation for visiting a grave) by the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the grave visiting reservation processing by the grave visiting system 1 (user terminal 10) will be described.
[0028] First, the user terminal 10 accesses the grave visit reservation from the grave visit reservation URL or the like (step S51). Then, the grave visit reservation date and time is input and transmitted to the server 30 (step S52). The grave visit reservation date and time can be input or selected based on the available visit date and time information set by the temple account. Furthermore, payment information is input and transmitted to the server 30 (step S53). The payment information includes the payment amount, and the payment amount may be determined and input by the user, or may be set to be selected from amounts set in advance by the temple. In addition to the date and time and the payment amount, options such as offering flowers and offerings can be input or selected, and the cost of these options may be added to the payment amount and transmitted. The user terminal 10 acquires reservation date and time information and grave visit access information from the server 30 (step S54). The reservation date and time information is information such as the reservation person's information and the date and time of the grave visit, and the grave visit access information is, for example, a URL for accessing Web content. This completes the reservation process.
[0029] 11 is an example of a flowchart of processing by the server 30 regarding a grave visiting service (reservation for visiting a grave) by the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment. Hereinafter, the grave visiting reservation processing by the grave visiting system 1 (server 30) will be described.
[0030] First, the reservation information receiving unit 53 receives reservation date and time information and payment information for visiting the grave from the user terminal 10 (steps S61 and S62). Then, the access information generating unit 54 generates grave visit access information based on the reservation date and time information (step S63). The first information providing unit 55 provides the grave visit access information to the user terminal 10, and the second information providing unit 56 provides the reservation date and time information, payment information, and grave visit access information to the temple terminal 20 (step S64). The reservation date and time information is information on the person who made the reservation and the date and time of visiting the grave, the payment information is information on the payment method and the payment amount, and the grave visit access information is, for example, a URL for accessing Web content. The payment information may be provided separately. Based on the temple parishioner information database stored in the information storage unit 57, the second information providing unit 56 can provide the temple terminal 20 with the plot number of the reserved user's grave (a number indicating the location of the grave in the cemetery or graveyard), the location of the grave shown on a still image map, the location of the grave shown on an online accessible map, and the like as location information. This completes the reservation process.
[0031] The communication between the user and the temple for the grave visit guidance and reservation described above can be carried out using a contact tool between the user and the temple, such as a chat app or a talk app on a smartphone, and a history can be left on the user terminal 10 and the temple terminal 20. The server 30 provides the contact tool between the user and the temple.
[0032] FIG. 12 is an example of a flowchart relating to a grave visiting service (provision of online grave visiting) by the grave visiting system 1 according to the first embodiment.
[0033] User terminal 10 and temple terminal 20 access grave visit access information according to reservation date and time information (step S71). Temple terminal 20 distributes in real time to user terminal 10 via network 40 the video of the monk visiting the grave captured by camera 21 of temple terminal 20 and the audio of the monk chanting sutras from microphone 22 of temple terminal 20 (step S72). The chief priest (monk) himself operates temple terminal 20 and distributes the grave visit with temple terminal 20 fixed to a tripod or the like. When the series of steps for visiting the grave is completed, the distribution ends.
[0034] The user can also use the user terminal 10 to make a donation during or after the distribution of the grave visit from the temple terminal 20. For example, the donation is paid by transmitting payment information from the user terminal 10 to the server 30 or another server, and the server 30 or another server accepts the payment information and makes a payment. In addition to prepayment, it is possible to pay the donation (reward) after viewing the actual grave visit.
[0035] The server 30 can store the payment information at the time of reservation and the payment information at the time of distribution, and can manage the payment amount. For example, the server 30 can provide the user terminal 10 with information on the amount of donations made so far, and can provide the temple terminal 20 with information on revenues made so far, and each of the terminals 10 and 20 can manage the total payment information, donation information, and revenue information provided so far.
[0036] As described above, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a grave visiting system is provided in which a user terminal, a temple terminal equipped with a camera and a microphone, and a server are communicatively connected via a network. The grave visiting system (for example, a server) includes a guide providing unit that provides a user terminal with a guide for a grave visit reservation, a reception unit that receives grave visit reservation date and time information and payment information from the user terminal, an access information generating unit that generates grave visit access information based on the reservation date and time information, a first information providing unit that provides the grave visit access information to the user terminal, and a second information providing unit that provides the reservation date and time information and the grave visit access information to the temple terminal. When the temple terminal and the user terminal access the grave visit access information according to the reservation date and time information, the temple terminal distributes in real time to the user terminal via the network the video of the monk visiting the grave captured by the temple terminal's camera and the audio of the monk chanting sutras through the temple terminal's microphone.
[0037] In addition, in the first embodiment of the present invention, a method for providing a grave visiting service by a grave visiting system in which a user terminal, a temple terminal equipped with a camera and a microphone, and a server are communicatively connected via a network is provided. The grave visiting service method causes the grave visiting system to execute a guide providing step of providing a grave visiting reservation guide to the user terminal, a reception step of receiving grave visiting reservation date and time information and payment information from the user terminal, an access information generating step of generating grave visiting access information based on the reservation date and time information, a user information providing step of providing the grave visiting access information to the user terminal, and a temple information providing step of providing the reservation date and time information and the grave visiting access information to the temple terminal. When the temple terminal and the user terminal access the grave visiting access information according to the reservation date and time information, the temple terminal distributes in real time to the user terminal via the network the image of the monk visiting the grave captured by the temple terminal's camera and the sound of the monk chanting sutras through the temple terminal's microphone.
[0038] According to the grave-visiting system of the first embodiment, for example, a user who is a parishioner can be guided to visit the grave. The grave-visiting system of this embodiment contributes to communication between temples and users, and by guiding users to visit the grave, it can help prevent users from stopping visiting the grave. The grave-visiting system of this embodiment can prevent the flow of grave-visiting services to agents other than temples (family temples with which temples have been connected for generations), secure the temple's profits, and contribute to maintaining good relationships with existing parishioners. In addition, it can replace the traditional method of sending postcards or letters by mail, and can reduce the use of paper and stamps, and can reduce the effort and cost of providing information. Digitalization can also contribute to the SDGs. In addition, the grave-visiting system can centrally manage communications between users and temples, making it highly convenient.
[0039] According to the first embodiment, the user inputs payment information at the time of reservation, and the server accepts the payment information. In other words, the user prepays (pays in advance) the fee for visiting the grave. Prepayment allows the temple to ensure profits at the time of reservation.
[0040] According to the first embodiment, a user receives real-time delivery of a video of a temple monk visiting a grave and audio of sutra chanting from a user terminal. The grave visiting system according to this embodiment can provide a full-scale grave visit with a live broadcast in which a monk visits the grave, rather than a virtual grave visit video or photo on the web. By providing a full-scale grave visit that differs from a grave visit by an agent, even elderly people with weak legs can visit a grave in a formal manner without having to go out, and the user's needs for ancestor worship can be met. The user can experience a realistic grave visit even from a remote location, and can obtain a sense of satisfaction.
[0041] In addition, the payment information can be set to select from amounts preset by the temple, which allows the temple to ensure that it receives a certain amount of revenue at the time of reservation.
[0042] The second information providing unit can obtain location information on the location of the grave from the information storage unit and provide the location information to the temple terminal. The location information can be information such as a plot number indicating the location of the grave in a cemetery or graveyard, the location of the grave shown on a still image map, or the location of the grave shown on an online accessible map. This allows the location information on the location of the grave to be confirmed from the temple terminal, and can assist the head priest, monks, etc. who actually visit the grave to arrive without getting lost.
[0043] The information providing unit can also obtain grave visiting date information from the information storage unit and provide a grave visiting reservation guide to the user terminal based on the grave visiting date information. Based on the grave visiting date information, grave visiting reservation guides can be provided for suitable times for grave visiting such as the anniversary of death, monthly anniversary of death, Bon, spring equinox, and autumn equinox, and a grave visiting system in accordance with cultural customs can be provided.
[0044] The information storage unit can also include information on the anniversary of the death of the deceased as the grave-visiting date information, and the guidance providing unit can provide the user terminal with a guide for making a reservation for visiting the grave a predetermined period of time before the death date based on the anniversary of the death information. The grave-visiting system according to this embodiment can contribute to grave-visiting in accordance with cultural customs.
[0045] The information providing unit can also obtain information on the dates of past grave visits from the information storage unit, and provide the user with information on how to make a reservation for visiting the grave based on the grave visit date information and the grave visit implementation date information. The grave visit system according to this embodiment can be useful in preventing users from stopping visiting the grave, for example, by encouraging users who have not visited the grave for a certain period of time to visit the grave.
[0046] The grave visiting system and method for providing a grave visiting service according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described below. In the second embodiment, a grave visiting service is also provided to users other than existing parishioners. Specifically, the grave visiting system and service are provided as a paid grave visiting event on the anniversary of a famous person's death, etc. In the following explanation, the differences from the first embodiment will be mainly described, and explanations of the similarities to the first embodiment (such as the configuration of the system, each terminal and server) will be omitted.
[0047] In the second embodiment, the date and time of the grave visit is set in advance by the temple. That is, the temple terminal provides reservation information including the date and time in the grave visit reservation information. Reservation information may be provided not only to parishioners, but also to all user accounts for which information can be provided. Furthermore, even a user who has not received a reservation information (does not have a user account) can create a new user account and make a reservation. Other points may be the same as the procedure shown in FIG. 8.
[0048] That is, in the second embodiment of the present invention, a grave visiting system is provided in which a user terminal, a temple terminal equipped with a camera and a microphone, and a server are communicatively connected via a network. The grave visiting system (for example, a server) includes a guidance providing unit that provides the user terminal with a guide to visiting the grave at a predetermined date and time, a reception unit that receives registration information and payment information from the user terminal, an access information generating unit that generates grave visiting access information based on the registration information, a first information providing unit that provides the grave visiting access information to the user terminal, and a second information providing unit that provides the grave visiting access information to the temple terminal. The registration information may be necessary information such as a user name. When the temple terminal and the user terminal access the grave visiting access information according to the reservation information, the temple terminal delivers in real time to the user terminal via the network the image of the monk visiting the grave captured by the temple terminal's camera and the sound of the monk chanting sutras through the temple terminal's microphone.
[0049] According to the second embodiment, a paid grave-visiting event can be provided to the general public on the anniversary of the death of a celebrity, leading to revenue for the temple. A user can experience visiting the grave of a celebrity and feel satisfied. The second embodiment can also contribute to communication between the temple and the user, as in the first embodiment. In the second embodiment, the user also inputs payment information when making a reservation, and the server accepts the payment information. That is, the user prepays (pays in advance) the fee for the grave-visit. By prepaying, the temple can secure revenue at the time of reservation. It is possible to provide a full-scale grave-visiting live-streamed by a monk, rather than a virtual grave-visiting video or photo on the Web. In addition, when a celebrity visits the grave, if people actually flock to the grave and a large amount of flowers and offerings are left, it will be a hassle for the temple and cemetery manager to clean up, but the grave-visiting system of this embodiment can reduce such hassle.
[0050] Although each embodiment of the present invention has been described above, various modifications and changes are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the grave visiting system can be used in any form, such as a website where the user terminal and the temple terminal communicate via a browser, a web application, software downloaded and installed on the user terminal and the temple terminal, a mobile application, etc. Although one server is given as the server that constitutes the grave visiting system, the number of servers is not limited to this, and multiple servers may be used.
