Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a fiber bundle providing system, a fiber bundle providing method, and a fiber bundle treatment method. [Background technology]

[0002] 2. Description of the Related Art Artificial hair fiber bundles that imitate human hair have been used as materials for head accessories such as wigs, extensions, braids, and hair bands (for example, Patent Document 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2010-47846 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Conventionally, when a practitioner provides a patient with artificial hair fiber bundles, the practitioner uses a product in which a predetermined amount of artificial hair fiber bundles is stored in a bag, removes the artificial hair fiber bundles from the bag, and applies the artificial hair fiber bundles to the patient. The practitioner then bills the patient for the cost of the product and the treatment fee.

[0005] However, depending on the person receiving the treatment, there may be cases where the person does not use all of the artificial hair fiber bundles stored in the bag, resulting in excess artificial hair fiber bundles. In such cases, the person receiving the treatment may feel as if they have lost out because they are charged the full cost of the product even if they have not used all of the artificial hair fiber bundles.

[0006] Also, some patients may wish to use multiple types of artificial hair fiber bundles. In such cases, the amount of each type of artificial hair fiber bundle used is smaller than when only one type is used, so the practitioner calculates the cost according to the weight of each type of artificial hair fiber bundle and charges the patient the combined cost per weight and the treatment fee. This makes it complicated for the practitioner to calculate the amount of artificial hair fiber bundle used and its cost, and may result in leftover artificial hair fiber bundles.

[0007] In this way, patients have a desire to pay a fee based on the amount of artificial hair fiber used, and practitioners have a desire to be able to easily charge patients a fee based on the amount of artificial hair fiber used.

[0008] Therefore, the present invention aims to provide a fiber bundle providing system and a fiber bundle providing method that can easily charge a practitioner or a patient a fee according to the amount of fiber bundle used, and a fiber bundle treatment method that can easily charge a practitioner to a patient a fee that includes the cost of the fiber bundle used by the practitioner to the patient.

[0021] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 1, the fiber bundle provision system 1 of the first embodiment of the present invention mainly comprises a management server 2 and one or more practitioner-side management terminals 3, and the management server 2 and the practitioner-side management terminals 3 are connected via a network 5 such as the Internet or an intranet. The fiber bundle providing system 1 of this embodiment is capable of executing a treatment providing operation and a cost billing operation, as described below.

[0023] The management server 2 is a server that manages the usage status of the fiber bundle 23 (see FIG. 2) in the fiber bundle storage unit 21 connected to each practitioner-side management terminal 3. The hardware configuration of the management server 2 is a computer equipped with a central processing unit consisting of a control device that controls each device and a calculation device that performs calculations on data, a memory device that stores data, an input device that inputs data from the outside, and an output device that outputs data to the outside. As shown in FIG. 1, the management server 2 is made up of a data selection unit 10, a server-side data storage unit 11, and a server-side communication unit 12 as its main components.

[0024] The data selection unit 10 is a component that selects fiber bundle data from the fiber bundle data stored in the server-side data storage unit 11 in accordance with style data 40 corresponding to the hairstyle expected after application of the fiber bundle 23. The server-side data storage unit 11 is a part that stores fiber bundle data including treatment data such as the color, type, and material of each fiber bundle 23 linked to the style data 40, and the estimated treatment time and estimated treatment cost expected for each fiber bundle 23. The server side communication unit 12 is a part capable of mutual data communication with the network 5 wirelessly or via wire.

[0025] The practitioner side management terminal 3 is, as shown in FIG. 2, mainly used in a treatment space 20 such as a beauty salon or a barber shop, and is a terminal used when a practitioner 100 provides treatment to a patient 101. A plurality of fiber bundle storage units 21 are provided in the treatment space 20, and a desired fiber bundle 23 can be taken out from each fiber bundle storage unit 21. The fiber bundle storage section 21 is composed of a storage box 22 in which a fiber bundle 23 is stored, and a weight detection means 24 for detecting the weight of the storage box 22. The fiber bundle 23 is a fiber for artificial hair in which a plurality of fibers are bundled. The types of fiber bundles 23 are classified according to differences in cross-sectional shape, the presence or absence of crimp, density, and the like. The material of the fiber bundle 23 may be, for example, modacrylic fiber, acrylic fiber, polyvinyl chloride fiber, nylon fiber, PET fiber, polypropylene fiber, or the like.

[0026] Practitioner side management terminal 3 is a terminal managed by practitioner 100, and is a terminal for informing patient 101 of the contents of treatment. The practitioner's management terminal 3 has a hardware configuration including a central processing unit composed of a control device that controls each device and a calculation device that performs calculations on data, a memory device that stores data, an input device that inputs data from the outside, and a computer equipped with an output device that outputs data to the outside. The therapist side management terminal 3 stores a service application, which will be described later, and is capable of performing a service providing operation by executing the service application. As shown in FIG. 1, the practitioner side management terminal 3 is composed of a touch panel unit 30, a terminal side data storage unit 31, a weight specifying means 32, and a terminal side communication unit 33 as main components.

[0027] The touch panel unit 30 includes a data input unit 35 and a data display unit 36 ​​. The data input unit 35 is a site where the style data 40 desired by the practitioner 100 or the patient 101 or the fiber bundle data desired by the practitioner 100 or the patient 101 is input. The data display unit 36 ​​is a portion capable of displaying style data 40 relating to a hairstyle proposed to the patient 101 and fiber bundle data relating to the fiber bundle 23 received from the management server 2.

[0028] The terminal-side data storage unit 31 is a part that stores an identification number individually assigned to the recipient 101, treatment history data such as the color, type, cost, and amount of fiber bundle 23 used in the past that are linked to the identification number, and style data 40 related to the hairstyle after treatment. The weight determination means 32 is connected to the weight detection means 24 of the fiber bundle storage section 21 and is connected to one or more fiber bundle storage sections 21 arranged within the treatment space 20, and determines the change in weight of the fiber bundle 23 in each fiber bundle storage section 21. The terminal side communication unit 33 is a part capable of mutual data communication with the network 5 wirelessly or via wire.

[0029] Next, the treatment providing operation of the fiber bundle providing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0030] The fiber bundle providing system 1 of this embodiment is capable of starting up a treatment application on the practitioner side management terminal 3 and executing a treatment providing operation for supporting the practitioner 100 in providing treatment to the patient 101. Specifically, first, when the therapist 100 launches a treatment application on the therapist's management terminal 3, the therapist's management terminal 3 displays, on the data display unit 36, style data 40 (40a to 40c) that has been registered in advance and can be provided in the treatment space 20, as shown in Figures 4 and 5 (step S1-1).

[0031] At this time, on the data display section 36, as shown in FIG. 5, style data 40a to 40c each showing a plurality of types of hairstyle, a style decision button 41, and a cancel button 42 are displayed.

[0032] Then, the therapist 100, together with the person being treated 101, looks at the style data 40a to 40c displayed on the data display unit 36, selects the style data 40a desired by the person being treated 101, as shown in Fig. 5, and presses the style decision button 41. Then, as shown in Fig. 4, the selected style data 40a is sent to the management server 2 (step S1-2).

[0033] When the cancel button 42 is pressed to stop the treatment for some reason, such as to discontinue the treatment, the treatment application is terminated.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 4, when the management server 2 receives the style data 40a from the practitioner-side management terminal 3 in step S1-2, the data selection unit 10 selects one or more fiber bundle data from the fiber bundle data stored in the server-side data storage unit 11 in accordance with the received style data 40a (step S1-3), and transmits the selected fiber bundle data to the practitioner-side management terminal 3 (step S1-4).

[0035] At this time, in the selection of fiber bundle data, fiber bundle data that reproduces a hairstyle corresponding to the received style data 40a is extracted.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 4, when the practitioner-side management terminal 3 receives the selected fiber bundle data from the management server 2, it displays each fiber bundle data on the data display unit 36 ​​(step S1-5).

[0037] At this time, on the data display section 36, as shown in FIG. 6, simplified data 50a to 50c which are a portion of the fiber bundle data, a selection completion button 51, and a back button 52 are displayed. The simplified data 50a to 50c include an identification number, the color of the fiber bundle 23, the material of the fiber bundle 23, an estimated treatment time, and an estimated treatment cost.

[0038] The practitioner 100 checks the simplified data 50a to 50c displayed together with the patient 101, selects the simplified data 50a desired by the patient 101 from the simplified data 50a to 50c as shown in Fig. 6, and presses the selection completion button 51 (step S1-6). Then, as shown in Fig. 7, detailed data 54 showing details of the fiber bundle data corresponding to the simplified data 50a is displayed on the data display unit 36. When the back button 52 is pressed, the process returns to step S1-1 and transitions to the screen of the style data 40a to 40c.

[0039] At this time, when the selection completion button 51 is pressed, the display screen of the data display unit 36 ​​transitions, and detailed data 54 of the selected fiber bundle data, a treatment start button 55, and a back button 56 are displayed in the data display unit 36, as shown in FIG. 7. Like the simplified data 50a, this detailed data 54 includes an identification number, the color of the fiber bundle 23, the material of the fiber bundle 23, the estimated treatment time, the estimated treatment cost, and further includes the practitioner's treatment level and word-of-mouth reviews.

[0040] The practitioner 100 looks at the detailed data 54 displayed together with the patient 101, and if there is no problem with the selection of the fiber bundle 23 corresponding to the detailed data 54, the practitioner 100 presses the treatment start button 55 to select the fiber bundle 23 and starts treatment on the patient 101 (step S1-7).

[0041] At this time, when the treatment start button 55 is pressed, the display screen of the data display unit 36 ​​transitions, and detailed data 60 of the selected fiber bundle data, a treatment end button 61, and a cancel button 62 are displayed in the data display unit 36, as shown in FIG. 8. Also, at this time, when the treatment start button 55 is pressed, the practitioner's side management terminal 3 measures the weight of the fiber bundle 23 in the fiber bundle storage section 21 (or the total weight of the fiber bundle storage section 21 and the fiber bundle 23) at the time the treatment start button 55 is pressed using the weight determination means 32. When the back button 56 is pressed, the screen transitions to the simplified data screen 50a to 50c.

[0042] In applying the fiber bundle 23, the practitioner 100 first braids the hair of the person to be treated 101 to form a braided part 110 as shown in FIG. Next, in accordance with the selected fiber bundle data, the fiber bundles 23 are taken out from the fiber bundle storage units 21 and attached to the weaving unit 110, and the fiber bundles 23 are weaved as necessary. Then, a part or the whole of the fiber bundles 23 attached to the braided portion 110 is immersed in a liquid having a predetermined temperature t1 or higher. The liquid used at this time is not particularly limited as long as it does not react with the fiber bundle 23. As the liquid, for example, water can be used. Furthermore, the predetermined temperature t1 is not particularly limited as long as it is a temperature at which the fiber bundle 23 shrinks, and is set appropriately depending on the type and material of the fiber bundle 23. For example, when the fiber bundle 23 is made of modacrylic fiber, the predetermined temperature t1 is preferably 70°C to 90°C.

[0043] When the therapist 100 completes the treatment for the patient 101, the therapist 100 presses a treatment end button 61 displayed on the data display unit . Then, the practitioner-side management terminal 3 recognizes the end of treatment (step S1-8), measures the weight of the fiber bundle 23 in the fiber bundle storage unit 21 at the time when the treatment end button 61 is pressed (or the total weight of the fiber bundle storage unit 21 and the fiber bundle 23), and calculates the difference between the time when the treatment start button 55 is pressed and the time when the treatment end button 61 is pressed. In other words, the practitioner-side management terminal 3 measures the amount of change in weight (amount used) of the fiber bundle 23 in the fiber bundle storage unit 21 (step S1-9).

[0044] When the amount of fiber bundle 23 used in the current treatment is calculated, treatment result data 66 is created, and the treatment result data 66 is displayed on the data display unit 36 ​​as shown in Figs. 4 and 9 (step S1-10).

[0045] At this time, the data display section 36 displays treatment result data 66 and a payment confirmation button 67, as shown in FIG. The treatment result data 66 includes the cost per unit weight of the fiber bundle 23 used in the treatment, the amount used, the treatment fee paid by the practitioner 100, and the total fee paid.

[0046] When the practitioner 100 collects the fee from the patient 101 and presses the payment confirmation button 67, new treatment history data and fiber bundle data are created, the treatment history data stored in the terminal side data storage unit 31 is updated (step S1-12), and the created fiber bundle data is sent to the management server 2 (step S1-13).

[0047] When the management server 2 receives the fiber bundle data, it updates the fiber bundle data stored in the server-side data storage unit 11 or adds fiber bundle data (step S1-14).

[0048] Next, the billing operation of the fiber bundle providing system 1 will be described with reference to FIG.

[0049] The fiber bundle providing system 1 of this embodiment is capable of executing a fee billing operation in which the management server 2 bills the practitioner 100 for a lump sum of fees according to the fiber bundles 23 used for each predetermined period T1. Specifically, first, the management server 2 sets a predetermined point in time, such as the time of initial installation or the end of the previous cost billing operation, as a reference point (step S2-1). When a predetermined period of time T1 has elapsed from the reference point in time (step S2-2), the management server 2 calculates the cost from the total amount of fiber bundles 23 used during the predetermined period of time T1 (total change in fiber bundles 23) (step S2-3), and bills the practitioner 100 for the calculated cost (step S2-4). In this case, the predetermined period T1 is not particularly limited as long as it is equal to or longer than the period required for one treatment to be completed, and is, for example, equal to or longer than one week and equal to or shorter than two months.

[0050] According to the fiber bundle provision system 1 of this embodiment, the weight of the fiber bundle 23 used is identified from the change in weight of the fiber bundle 23 in the fiber bundle storage section 21, and the cost according to the used weight of the fiber bundle 23 is notified to the practitioner 100 or the person being treated 101, making it easy to bill the person being treated 101.

[0051] According to the fiber bundle provision system 1 of this embodiment, the practitioner 100 can be charged a fee corresponding to the weight of the fiber bundle 23 used in the treatment space 20 for each specified period T1, so that charging for the fee is easy from the perspective of the provider of the fiber bundle 23, and the details are easy to understand from the perspective of the practitioner 100.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the practitioner 100 or the patient 101 is notified of the cost by displaying the cost or fee according to the weight of the fiber bundle 23 used on the touch panel unit 30, but the present invention is not limited to this.
