Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a future family tree construction system, and more particularly to a future family tree construction system for comprehensively managing family information including data related to family trees based on personal information. [Background technology]

[0002] Various technologies have been proposed in the past as systems for managing image data, typically photographs (see, for example, Patent Document 1, Patent Document 2, and Patent Document 3). The technology described in Patent Document 1 allows users to search for unsorted photographic images using search terms or sentences entered by the user. However, this DB only stores photographic images and sentences, and has the problem of being unsuitable for storing other information.

[0003] Paper-based album systems that manage family data and personal history data in association with image data have also been proposed (see, for example, Patent Documents 2 and 3). However, because these are paper media, there are problems such as the risk of image quality deterioration and loss due to earthquakes, tsunamis, etc., and the inability to store data in a distributed manner.

[0004] Furthermore, the technology described in Patent Document 3 is a technology for creating an album that shows careers and kinship relationships at a glance, and a death register in which faces can be identified. This family album is produced by placing a photograph on the right or left page of a spread, and recording the name, posthumous Buddhist name, age at death, career, a brief family tree showing the relationship of the relatives, religious sect, etc. of the person in the photograph on the other page. However, there are still problems with this technology, such as the deterioration of photographs, their duplication, and the difficulty of storing them in separate locations. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-235910 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2012-37966 [Patent Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 9-123637 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] This invention provides a database and program that can store not only image data but also personal data such as family trees, videos, and copies of wills on a server connected to the Internet for long-term safe storage.It also provides a system that generates a metaverse space and allows virtual conversations with avatars of deceased people. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The futuristic family tree construction system of the present invention is a system for managing data having various attributes such as basic information, family tree data for at least three generations, documents, images, videos, wills, will videos, family precepts, beliefs, ways of thinking, and lessons for each individual, by associating each of the attributes, and is characterized by comprising: an individual basic database that stores basic data for each individual; an attribute-specific database that stores management data classified based on attributes and associates it with the individual basic data; data input means (keyboard, mouse, touch panel, image scanner, data reading device) for inputting the individual basic data and the management data; search condition acquisition means for acquiring data that matches the input search conditions; data extraction means for referencing the individual basic database and the attribute-specific database to extract data that matches the acquired search conditions; and output means (display device, printer) for outputting the extracted data with its association clearly indicated.

[0008] The individual basic database and attribute-specific database are preferably stored in multiple locations in a distributed manner. Alternatively, they are stored in a distributed manner in the cloud. In this case, since the information is personal information, it is preferably encrypted and stored so that it cannot be viewed by external parties. Furthermore, it is preferable to record the information on physical storage media (CDs, DVDs, MDs, tapes, etc.) and store it in multiple regions.

[0009] The management data may include family tree data showing kinship relationships, photographic and / or video data, correlation data showing the relationships between individuals, legacy data that each individual should pass on to future generations, congratulatory and condolence data for each individual (including data on past attendees of a person's family weddings, funerals, etc., the head priest in charge of the funeral, the temple, the funeral schedule, and the church), schedule data related to each individual (including memorial service schedules), and address data for each individual. By storing this data, funerals and other events can be easily held even if a parent or other relative dies while their children or grandchildren are still living in their hometowns.

[0010] The data output by the output means may be at least one of an album, a family tree, a relationship chart, a timeline and chronology, a tradition, a will, a video will, celebrations and condolences, a calendar, a collection of achievements, family mottos, beliefs, ways of thinking about things, lessons, an address book, and personal information.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention also includes a configuration in which a metaverse space (also called a virtual space) is generated using the data, and rooms for photographs, videos, and materials of the deceased are created, allowing logged-in users to freely browse through them. In other words, a metaverse space and an exhibition space for the deceased's photographs, materials, videos, etc. can be created, and visitors can visit the space to view materials and videos. Furthermore, a prayer room is provided, allowing visitors to log in at their convenience and pray at the Buddhist altar in the virtual space. In the case of the deceased, the metaverse creation means creates an avatar that resembles the deceased, and visitors can also create their own avatars, allowing the visitors and the deceased to converse within the metaverse. In this case, it is preferable to analyze the deceased's body movements using images, memorize their habits, and reproduce them in the metaverse.

[0012] To achieve this, all that is needed is a means to photograph or attach sensors to the body to analyze the characteristics of the body's movements and facial expressions while the body is still alive, and a means to reproduce the analyzed characteristic movements and facial expressions. Technology has already been developed to analyze the characteristics of movements, and technology has already been developed to record and analyze the movements of dedicated farmers. In addition, by capturing and analyzing images or videos of characteristic facial expressions, it is possible to create an avatar that reproduces the characteristics. [Effects of the Invention]

[0013] In the futuristic family tree construction system configured as described above, data with various attributes is associated and managed for each individual. The data managed by this system consists of basic data for each individual and management data categorized based on attributes, with the management data associated with each individual's basic data. When desired search criteria are entered, data matching the search criteria is extracted and can be output as on-screen display data or print data. A metaverse space can also be generated, where photos and videos can be viewed and virtual deceased individuals can be interacted with. This makes it possible to efficiently and comprehensively manage family information, including image data for each individual, for the future based on personal information with a wide range of attributes.

[0014] Furthermore, if the data being managed is distributed and stored in multiple locations in a cloud format, even if data in one location is damaged, the desired data can be restored from data stored in another location, so there is no risk of losing all of the data.

[0015] In addition, the management data may include image data consisting of at least one of still images or video, family tree data showing kinship relationships, correlation data showing the interrelationships between individuals, inheritance data that each individual will pass on to their surviving family members (including family precepts, special secrets, know-how, etc.), inheritance data that each individual should pass on to future generations (including general rules of success and lessons), congratulatory and condolence data regarding each individual's special occasions, and schedule data related to each individual.By outputting the desired data, it becomes possible to manage and use data related to each individual in an even more efficient and comprehensive manner.

[0017] <System Overview> The present invention is a system for managing data with various attributes for each individual by associating each attribute. It can also function as an end-of-life note that can be edited and saved online. The managed data is, for example, management data categorized based on each individual's basic data and attributes. The management data includes at least one of image data consisting of at least one of still images and video, data for generating a metaverse, a copy of a will (which may utilize an electronic authentication system or electronic signature), a video will, genealogy data indicating kinship relationships, correlation data indicating the relationships between individuals, legacy data that each individual should pass on to future generations, congratulatory and condolence data regarding each individual's special occasions, schedule data related to each individual, and address data for each individual. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0018] <System configuration> The future family tree construction system according to an embodiment of the present invention is a system configured with a computer system and its peripheral devices, an external server connected via a network line, etc. As shown in Fig. 1, this future family tree construction system includes an individual basic database 13, an attribute-specific database 14, data input means (keyboard, mouse, touch panel, image scanner, data reading device (not shown)), search condition acquisition means 9, data extraction means 10, output means (display device, printer (not shown)), etc.

[0019] <Computer System> The future family tree construction system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be, for example, a local system implemented by installing a future family tree construction program on a personal computer (PC), or may be a system that operates on a web browser by accessing a server on the Internet from a terminal. Furthermore, the terminal may be a PC, or a mobile information terminal such as a mobile phone, smartphone, or wearable computer. The personal computer includes a transmitting / receiving means, a central processing unit, a ROM, a RAM, a HDD, an input I / F, an output I / F, a search condition input means, and a data extraction command means, and includes, as auxiliary devices, data input means such as a keyboard, a mouse, a touch panel, an image scanner, a data reading device, and output means such as a display device and a printer.

[0020] The transmitting / receiving means comprises devices and programs for transmitting and receiving data via a router to a LAN-connected NAS, a network printer, a network image scanner, a server connected via the Internet, etc. The transmitting / receiving line for transmitting and receiving data may be either wired or wireless.

[0021] The central processing means includes a CPU, cache memory, etc., and is configured as a device for comprehensively controlling the personal computer and its associated devices in accordance with a program (in this embodiment, a future family tree construction program) stored in a ROM, etc. The ROM and RAM are configured as semiconductor memories, etc., and are devices for storing program data and various data. The HDD is a large-capacity storage device and is a device for storing various data. In this embodiment, the personal basic database and attribute-specific database are stored on the HDD, but the HDD may be local or attached to a server on a network. Note that the number of attribute-specific databases is not limited to one, and multiple databases may exist. The input I / F is an electronic device for receiving data from an input device, and the output I / F is an electronic device for transmitting data to an output device.

[0022] In the following explanation, the term "program" refers not only to software that is stored in RAM or the like and that performs its function by being executed by hardware such as a CPU, but also to logic circuits that can perform equivalent functions. The system of the present invention not only functions locally, but also includes cases where a terminal accesses a server to run a program to input data or output necessary data.

[0023] In this embodiment, to distribute and store data in multiple locations, it is preferable to store the individual basic database and attribute-specific database in a RAID system using HDDs or a cloud server connected via a network (such as the Internet). In this case, each database may be stored in multiple locations using HDDs or NAS built into multiple personal computers connected to a LAN within a personal home, or each database may be stored on a server connected via the Internet. Commercial storage servers connected to personal computers via the Internet generally employ data redundancy systems, so using a commercial storage server is also an effective method for preventing data loss. In this case, considering that the data contains personal information, it is preferable to connect the data in a highly secure manner. For example, a connection via a VPN line or a system that allows access only when a special USB is connected is preferable. Alternatively, a highly secure online storage system may be used. A highly secure storage system such as Microsoft OneDrive may also be used.

[0024] <Individual Basic Database> The personal basic database is a database that stores basic data for each individual. This basic data for each individual includes personal ID, name, date of birth, gender, address, nickname, pen name, blood type, spouse, father, mother, siblings, children, grandchildren, a number indicating each person's distance from the individual (such as degrees of kinship), the name and address of individuals who are authorized to access the basic data, their registered domicile, place of birth, landline phone number, mobile phone number, facsimile number, email address, homepage address, birth record (time, weight, hospital name), zodiac sign, Chinese zodiac sign, physical measurement record, educational background, current obsessions, favorite foods, favorite items, religious sect, main temple or church, attending physician, basic ledger number, registered seal impression, posthumous Buddhist name, etc. Additionally, data such as medical history, genome information, fingerprints, irises, voice, handprints, footprints, dental treatment history, naming certificate, artwork, certificates, and (short) videos may also be added.

[0025] The individual basic data may include only some of the data exemplified above, or may include other data. Age can be calculated and displayed based on the date of birth and the current date and time obtained from the personal computer's clock function. This individual basic database may be stored, for example, on a hard disk drive built into the individual's personal computer, or on a server connected via the Internet. When storing the information on a server via the Internet, a high-security connection such as a VPN is preferable, considering that the information is personal information.

[0026] Although family tree data can be extended to as far as the individual can remember, including great-grandfathers and great-great-grandparents, the present invention is based on creating a family tree covering three generations: the individual, father, mother, and children. This is because it is almost impossible to make a mistake within this range for a normal family.

[0027] If you want to go back further, it is best to ask your parents, great-grandparents, and great-grandparents (if they are still alive) directly. It is possible to go back further than that if there are records in each family lineage, and sometimes records are kept at temples. For families without such a family tree, you may only have hearsay-level information. Therefore, a three-generation family tree is the basis, as it can be reliably created.

[0028] However, it is possible to create a family tree with more generations by linking these three-generation family trees. To do this, you can use the three-generation family tree merging function. This merging can be done manually, or it can be done automatically using AI or other methods.

[0029] <Attribute-specific database> The attribute-specific database 14 is a database that stores multiple pieces of management data categorized based on attributes, in association with basic data 13 for each individual. Attributes indicate the type of data, such as image data, video data, family data indicating kinship relationships, correlation data indicating the correlations between individuals, legacy data that each individual should pass on to future generations, will data, congratulatory and condolence data regarding each individual's special occasions, schedule data related to each individual, address data for each individual, and other data. Each piece of data that makes up the attribute-specific database will be described in detail later.

[0030] <Data input method> The data input means consists of devices for inputting basic data and management data for each individual, and can be configured with a keyboard, mouse, touch panel, image scanner, etc. connected to a personal computer. Figure 5 shows an example of an input screen. In the case of image data captured with a digital camera or the like, an interface for importing image data from a data storage medium (SD card, DVD, CD, portable memory, etc.) that stores the image data may function as the data input means. Alternatively, images and videos may be uploaded from a recording medium such as a hard disk, floppy disk, CD, DVD, MD, or USB, or from a photographic device such as a camera, or images and videos stored in the cloud may be imported via the Internet. These images may be imported and organized into an album format, or they may be exhibited in a virtual space (Figure 8).

[0031] <Method for obtaining search conditions> Because the Future Family Tree Construction Program includes personal information, it is preferable to limit the people who can search for a specific individual's data to relatives or individuals within a certain degree of kinship, and the administrator. However, it may also be possible to set it so that the individual can search for their name and / or address, and whether or not it exists in the database, at their own discretion. To do this, it is possible to set the name and / or address in the search database to be searchable or not.

[0032] If a person does not want their existence in the database to be known, they can set their data to not appear in searches, but allow members to access their data by entering the ID, email address, or name and address of a member they have access to. Some data, such as copies of wills and video wills, may be locked to prevent access while the person is alive and only viewable by specific individuals after death is confirmed. Death can be confirmed by submitting a doctor's death certificate or other document to the system administrator. Data such as wills and video wills are preferably affixed with electronically authenticated signatures and recording dates and locked to prevent tampering. Blockchain technology may also be used to prevent tampering. If electronically authenticated wills become legally recognized in the future, a system may be built in accordance with that law, and the system of the present invention may also include legally valid wills. Furthermore, if you keep your parents' wills, records of gifts made during their lifetime, bankbooks, real estate purchase and sale contracts, and real estate-related contract documents (such as boundary agreements) in your parents' folders, you will have the advantage of being able to smoothly complete transactions when buying and selling real estate later, and of making it easier to determine ownership shares when dividing up assets.

[0033] Furthermore, when setting access rights by ID, it is possible to set the scope of data that can be accessed depending on the purpose, such as only those with inheritance rights, family members living in the same household, relatives within the third degree of kinship, distant relatives within the fourth degree of kinship or more, close friends, guarantors (or joint guarantors), creditors and debtors, etc.

[0034] Furthermore, it may be possible to specify the data that each individual can access. To do this, for example, a data list for each member could be displayed on the individual's management screen, with checkboxes or the like provided so that each member can check and set access permissions. One way to achieve this is to create a hierarchical directory for the storage area, and set access permissions for each level. The shallowest level could be the name (and / or address) level, and it could be set so that only this part can be found in a search. If a search finds a hit, the individual can be contacted and negotiate to expand the data that can be viewed.

[0035] To access the search system, a user must log in with an authorized ID. The search condition acquisition means consists of a program for acquiring the entered search conditions. This search condition acquisition means is an element of the future family tree construction program. Specifically, a search condition input screen is displayed on the display screen of a display device connected to a personal computer, which is a terminal. When a user inputs data that will be search conditions using a data input means, the input data is acquired as search conditions in the future family tree construction program. Data that matches the search conditions is acquired locally or from a server and displayed.

[0036] The family tree construction program of the present invention may quantify the distance to the individual by quantifying the degree of kinship starting from the individual. For example, the first degree of kinship is assigned a number of 1, the second degree a number of 2, etc., and further, if necessary, the closeness to the individual can be expressed by assigning numbers such as 1.1, 1.2, etc. to each person.

[0037] By quantifying distance, the relative positional relationship can be expressed as the distance between nodes, even if each person's node is moved. Furthermore, by using positive and negative values ​​for past and future, it is possible to determine the positional relationship between generations past and future than the individual. By entering these values, it is easy to create a family tree. An example of a three-generation family tree is shown in Figure 4.

[0038] Furthermore, even if a person's position is moved, the node positions of other people can be changed in conjunction with that, while maintaining their relative positions. Another advantage is that the degree of kinship can be automatically recalculated, whether the person is a parent, child, or grandchild, allowing for infinite extension into the future. For example, if a child at position -1 takes over the family tree, they will be counted as 0, and each previous generation will be added by +1. If a grandchild takes over, +2 will be added to each person's value, making it easy to create a continuous family tree into the future.

[0039] In this case, to avoid complexity, nephews and nieces may not appear on the family tree. Alternatively, the distance used to calculate the position of nephews and nieces on the family tree may be expressed as a decimal point, such as 1.1 or 1.01. Further descendants may be numbered, such as 1.11 or 1.011.

[0040] It is also possible that previously unrelated families may become connected when children or grandchildren marry, and in such cases, the family trees can be integrated by linking them using data on the degree of kinship between spouses.

[0041] It is preferable to place the person in the center of the family tree, with the parents at the top and the children at the bottom. While it is common for the person and their children to be at the bottom of a family tree, it is also possible to place the person at the top and have the tree grow downwards from there. In other words, while a family tree is generally a look at the past of one's family lineage from oneself, by placing oneself at the top, one can place one's children and grandchildren even higher, creating a future-oriented family tree in which the past is at the bottom, making the present the most important position.

[0042] You can set whether or not others can view your family tree. You can search by name and ask the person directly if they want to view it with one click. If the other person agrees, you can view their family tree, and if there is someone who can link it to yours, you can ask them if it's OK to link it, and if there's no problem, you can link the family trees.

[0043] <Data extraction method> The data extraction means 10 is a program for referencing the individual basic database and the attribute-specific database to extract data that matches the search criteria acquired by the search criteria acquisition means. This data extraction means is, for example, an element of a future family tree construction program. Specifically, the function of the future family tree construction program is to access the individual basic database 13 and the attribute-specific database 14 based on the data entered as search criteria, and extract data that matches the entered criteria.

[0044] <Output method> The output means comprises a device for outputting the extracted data with its relationships clearly indicated. This output means, for example, a display device connected to a personal computer, a wearable virtual space display device (such as VR goggles), a printer, a recording medium writing device, etc. Furthermore, outputting data with its relationships clearly indicated means, for example, associating data that identifies an individual with family lineage, relationships, traditions, celebrations and condolences, schedules, addresses, etc., and outputting the data in a way that makes the relationships clear. The output data can be displayed on the display screen of a display device, printed by a printer, or stored on a storage medium such as a DVD, CD, or portable memory.

[0045] <Management data configuration> As mentioned above, the management data is data that is configured by associating data classified based on attributes with basic data for each individual. Specifically, as shown in Figure 1, the management data includes image data, family data showing kinship relationships, correlation data showing the correlations between individuals, legacy data that each individual should pass on to future generations, congratulatory and condolence data related to each individual's special occasions, schedule data related to each individual, address data for each individual, etc.

[0046] <Image data> Image data includes various data related to photographs or videos taken with digital cameras or digital video cameras, scanned data from image scanners, and images captured from recording media. This image data can include various data, such as image ID, data acquisition date and time (photographed date and time), file type, file size, settings data (digital camera settings), image content, owner ID (photographer ID), and other related information. The various data constituting the image data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. These can be easily viewed by selecting images or videos from a menu. Photos can be organized like web albums, or a virtual photo room can be created and viewed with an avatar. Multiple albums can be created, and they can be organized by time period, event, grade, etc.

[0047] <Family Data> Genealogy data is data that extends the basic data for each individual and indicates the genealogical ties of each individual. Therefore, genealogy data can also be included in the basic data for each individual. This genealogy data can include various data such as a family ID, an individual ID with a genealogical connection, an identification value indicating the genealogical ties of each individual ID (degree of kinship between each individual), an image ID of each individual's facial image, and other related information. In the present invention, the main input items are basically data for three generations: the individual himself / herself, siblings, parents, and children. This is because within this range, the possibility of error is extremely low, allowing for the creation of a highly reliable family tree. The various data that make up the family data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. In particular, by using the family data, a family tree can be created that includes facial photographs of each individual.

[0048] <Correlation Data> Correlation data is data that expands on individual basic data and indicates the correlations between individuals (e.g., friendships, acquaintances, business relationships). Therefore, correlation data can be included in individual basic data. This correlation data can include various data, such as correlation IDs, correlated individual IDs, identification values ​​indicating the correlations between individual IDs, image IDs of each individual's facial image, and other related information. By linking the various data that make up the correlation data with other data, desired data can be extracted. In particular, correlation data can be used to create correlation diagrams that include each individual's facial photograph. Correlation data can be created using artificial intelligence (AI) to display people with many commonalities as correlation candidates. This can be done using a program similar to the one used to display "Maybe Friends" on various social networking sites.

[0049] <Traditional Data> Traditional data is data that expands on basic data for each individual, and consists of various data that each individual should pass on to future generations (others). Therefore, traditional data can also be included in basic data for each individual. This traditional data can include various data such as a traditional ID, a personal ID, traditional content (family crest, family precepts, secret teachings, matters to be passed on, etc.), and other related information. The various data that make up traditional data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. In particular, traditional data can be used to provide various information that each individual wants to pass on to future generations (others).

[0050] <Congratulatory and condolence data> Congratulatory and condolence data is an extension of individual basic data and consists of various data that can be used as a congratulatory and condolence expense management ledger. Therefore, congratulatory and condolence data can also be included in individual basic data. This congratulatory and condolence data can include various data such as congratulatory and condolence ID, the individual's personal ID, the recipient's personal ID, the amount of congratulatory and condolence money paid, the amount of condolence money, cemetery location data (GPS data), cemetery image data or image ID, and other related information. The various data that make up the congratulatory and condolence data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. In particular, congratulatory and condolence data can be used to manage congratulatory and condolence expenses of people who are friends with each individual.

[0051] <Schedule data> Schedule data is an extension of personal basic data and consists of various data that can be used for calendar management, etc. Therefore, schedule data can also be included in personal basic data. This schedule data can include various data such as schedule ID, personal ID, birthday, anniversary, memorial date, date of enrollment, birthdays of relatives, friends, and pets, event schedules around the world and in Japan, and other related information. The various data that make up schedule data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. In particular, schedule data can be used to manage each individual's schedule.

[0052] <Address data> Address data is an extension of individual basic data and consists of various data that can be used for address book management. Therefore, address data can also be included in individual basic data. This address data can include various data, such as address IDs, personal IDs, addresses of friends and acquaintances, phone numbers of friends and acquaintances, scanned data of New Year's cards and greeting cards, and other related information. The various data constituting address data can be linked with other data to extract desired data. In particular, address data can be used to manage the delivery of New Year's cards and summer greeting cards. Address data can also be linked with data from address book management software, such as postcard printing software. Address book management software, such as postcard printing software, generally allows users to select CSV as the output data format. Therefore, address data in the present invention can be easily created by importing address data output in CSV format.

[0053] <Output screen> In the future family tree construction system according to the embodiment of the present invention, desired data can be extracted using the functions of the search condition acquisition means and the data extraction means. The content of the extracted data varies depending on the search conditions entered, but as mentioned above, various data can be output, such as albums, family trees, relationship charts, tradition charts, congratulations and condolences records, schedule management charts, and address books. First, enter your registration information on the registration screen shown in Figure 6. This information may include, for example, your first and last name, furigana (phonetic reading), nationality, nickname, date of birth, family register, gender, dominant hand, favorite saying / motto, educational background (nursery school, kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, high school, university, graduate school, vocational school, etc.), company name, job history, birthplace / address, time of birth, current address, email address, ID, and password. Images, videos, and images related to the metaverse are uploaded and saved in a separate upload folder. They can then be displayed in a virtual space or album as needed.

[0054] Figure 6 shows the metaverse screen of the system of the present invention. You can use the buttons on this screen to display each room (such as a room of memorable photos or a room of documents) (Figures 8 to 10). After moving to each room, you can use the arrows or other movement keys to move around and look at the photos and documents. If you find a photo or document that interests you, you can click on the image to see more detailed information.

[0055] The family tree in Figure 4 lists the kinship relationships of a specific individual. This makes the kinship relationships and their details for a specific individual clear at a glance, allowing users to easily learn about the kinship relationships without relying solely on each individual's memory. Data management can be performed easily and reliably in other charts as well.

[0056] At a fixed time each year, an administrator managing the system of the present invention automatically sends greeting cards to the email addresses of the individual and designated relatives. If a read receipt is received, the database is maintained. If no read receipt is received, emails are automatically sent on the second, fifth, fourteenth, and thirtieth days until a read receipt is received. If a read receipt is not received within seven days of the 30th-day email, an alarm automatically displays requesting the printing of a postcard or letter. Based on this, a postcard or letter can be sent to the individual's address, or a call or visit can be made to confirm the individual's survival. The frequency of this contact can be adjusted as appropriate depending on the user's situation. If there is a possibility of dementia, emails can be sent to the individual's relatives or adult guardian. Furthermore, the frequency of emails and contacts can be set to contact users who may be near death due to cancer or old age more frequently. Phone calls can also be made by automated voice calls from the system.

[0057] A will is entered as a special document. The input items include, for example, who (spouse, children, etc.) will inherit the amount of assets such as land, buildings, savings, cash, precious metals, stocks, and cars. If possible, the will should be signed electronically or in handwriting on the screen. If necessary, a notarized document may be created at a notary public's office and a copy of it may be stored in the system of the present invention.

[0058] If the death of a person is confirmed, the necessary data will be made accessible to relatives upon request from the person in advance. This can be individually cancelled by the administrator, or it can be set while the person is alive, and once the death is confirmed, all the data can be made accessible according to the member level.

[0059] The futuristic family tree construction system of the present invention can also function as a graveyard on the Internet. As shown in Figure 10, a Buddhist altar can be set up in the virtual space, allowing people to pray. Furthermore, a virtual graveyard space can be created in addition to the room with the altar, and the graveyards of family members can be displayed. The location of the graveyard can be stored using GPS data, and linked to the real graveyard.

[0060] The future family tree construction system of the present invention can further generate a metaverse space (virtual space), within which rooms such as a room for memorable photos, a document exhibition room, a sponsor room, a worship room, and a conversation room can be generated, and viewers can visit each room by operating their terminal. Specifically, when a room is specified, an image of that room is displayed on the display of the viewer's terminal. The entrance to the virtual space may be displayed in the menu of each screen.

[0061] The system for creating a metaverse space (virtual space) can be independently programmed or created using a system provided by another company. For example, a virtual space can be created using spatial (https: / / www.spatial.io / ). Spatial is a metaverse platform operated by an American startup company.

[0062] Spatial allows visitors to create virtual spaces and commemorate the memory of a deceased loved one. By pressing a button, you can move to the entrance or each room, and by pressing assigned keys, you can move by walking or running. For example, pressing the A, S, D, or W keys will make your avatar walk left, forward, right, or back, while holding down the shift key while pressing the same key will make your avatar run.

[0063] To enter the virtual space, click the virtual space button in the family tree system to enter the entrance to the virtual space. From there, you can use the keys as described above to explore each room. You can also use the buttons displayed on the screen to enter the memorable photo room, document exhibition room, prayer room, etc.

[0064] In the memorial photo room, photographs of the deceased are displayed like a gallery (Figure 8), allowing visitors to look at them and remember the deceased. In the document exhibition room, enlarged documents of the deceased are displayed like a gallery (Figure 9), which visitors can look around. In the worship room, a Buddhist altar and memorial tablets are set up, and visitors can offer prayers (Figure 10).

[0065] Furthermore, visitors can experience a three-dimensional virtual reality space using VR goggles or headsets. Three-dimensional virtual reality is thought to be more immersive and moving.

[0066] A dialogue room can also be set up, where an avatar of the deceased is created in their likeness and can converse with viewers to ask for advice. In this case, the deceased would create a database containing their family mottos, beliefs, and attitudes, and the database would search for answers to similar questions and provide answers. Alternatively, a generative AI like ChatGPT could be used to train the database by inputting answers to questions, and then the generative AI could be used to engage in dialogue with viewers. A set of questions and answers about the deceased's attitudes could be prepared. For example, detailed questions about money, health, marriage, studies, children's education, and relationships could be created in a question-and-answer format and loaded into a computer. The computer would then analyze the meaning and store it in a database (a function similar to IBM Watson). Alternatively, a generative AI like ChatGPT could be trained using these questions and answers. The more questions there are, the better the answers to questions. Ideally, more than 5,000 questions and answers would be desirable, but this number can be increased or decreased depending on the server's performance to avoid slowing down processing. Preferred numbers of question and answer sets are 20 or more, 30 or more, 50 or more, 100 or more, 300 or more, 500 or more, 1000 or more, 2000 or more, 3000 or more, 4000 or more, and 5000 or more. The upper limit on the number of questions and answers may be, for example, 1 million or less, 500,000 or less, but is not limited to these.

[0067] In addition, the future family tree construction system of the present invention may be linked to bank accounts so that by entering a death, all bank accounts, postal savings accounts, investment accounts, cards, etc. can be frozen.

[0068] Furthermore, if the bank's safe deposit box key is an electronic lock system, it may be set up so that a designated relative can unlock the electronic lock at the same time as the death is entered. Alternatively, it may be set up so that the bank contacts the heir designated by the individual upon entering the death notice, and the individual can directly receive a key or card to unlock the safe deposit box, or the key and card or other means of unlocking the safe deposit box can be mailed.

[0069] The meaning of this invention in the eternal recurrence It has been reported that some people are born with memories of their past lives. In such cases, the database of this invention will have the effect of allowing people to recall their past life experiences more accurately. It is possible that reincarnation (reincarnation) may be proven in the future. In such cases, if past records are available, it will be possible to verify this in more detail.

[0070] It is also possible to save documents or videos of what you want to convey to your future reincarnation. This invention upgrades data to the latest storage format according to the times, so it can be played back even hundreds of years from now.

[0071] Currently, if you want to create a family tree, the only way to find the necessary information is to look in a government registry or a temple's death register. However, family register copies are said to be kept for 80 to 150 years, making it extremely difficult for descendants to create a family tree beyond that. However, the system for perpetuating family trees of this invention stores data for at least 200 years, so as long as you remain a member, your family tree will naturally continue to be created forever. [Industrial Applicability]

[0072] The present invention can be used in the family tree creation industry, funeral industry, etc. [Explanation of symbols]
