Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a method and system for regenerating Phalaenopsis orchids, and more particularly to a method and system for providing tribute flowers to bereaved families on the first anniversary of the death of a deceased person, in order to commemorate the deceased. [Background technology]

[0002] Orchids are perennial plants, and Phalaenopsis plants have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Therefore, if the plant is well cared for, it can bloom many times. Taking advantage of this characteristic, a flowering regeneration system that reproduces the flowering of orchids is known.

[0003] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a system in which a user sends an orchid plant to an orchid grower after enjoying the flowers, and the collected orchid is subjected to a flower restoration process and returned to the user in a bloomed state. Patent Document 2 also discloses a floral tribute system in which flowers from an orchid plant whose flowers have been placed in a coffin as farewell flowers are restored as tribute flowers in memory of the deceased and delivered to the bereaved family.

[0004] Usually, Phalaenopsis orchid plants with their flowers cut off are left as they are and often die. However, in the floral offering system described in Patent Document 2, orchid plants are subjected to a flowering regeneration treatment, and the regenerated flowering orchids are provided to the bereaved family on the first anniversary of the death, allowing the bereaved family to look at the orchids regenerated from the parted flowers and remember and mourn the deceased. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2010-220491 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-171732 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, the flowering orchids used as funeral flowers are very large, so when transporting large orchids over long distances, they must be wrapped in tissue paper or nonwoven fabric to prevent damage and then placed in a cardboard box. Furthermore, the orchids must be secured to the cardboard box with tape or other means during transport.

[0007] This increases the cost of transportation, and also requires careful handling to avoid damaging the flowers, which takes time and effort.

[0008] In addition, the invention described in Patent Document 2 recycles orchids used at funerals and provides them to the bereaved family on the first anniversary of their deaths, but the IC tag is what proves that they are the same. However, if the IC tag is detachable or rewritable, the IC tag alone cannot prove that they are the same. For the bereaved family, added value is only realized if the orchid used at the funeral and the recycled orchid are the same.

[0009] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and its first objective is to provide a method and system for providing flowers for funerals that can expand the business scope of orchid growers by shortening the distance between the orchid growing site and the funeral hall, thereby facilitating the transportation of orchids. The second objective of the present invention is to reliably guarantee that the orchid used at the funeral and the reproduced orchid provided to the bereaved family on the first anniversary of the death are the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] The floral tribute system of the present invention is characterized by comprising: an orchid having an unremovably attached recording medium that records at least individual identification information; a cloud server that stores the information on the recording medium; a cultivation greenhouse connected to the cloud server via a network in which an orchid grower makes the orchids sprout flower buds and applies a regeneration process to orchids whose flowers have been cut to make the regenerated orchids sprout again; a flowering greenhouse connected to the cloud server via a network in which a funeral home makes the flower buds of the orchids delivered from the cultivation greenhouse bloom and re-bloom the regenerated orchids; and a mobile terminal that confirms that the regenerated orchid delivered by the funeral home to the bereaved family when they hold a memorial service for the first anniversary of the deceased's death is the same as the orchid used at the funeral of the deceased. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the floral tribute system of the present invention, by separating the growing greenhouse from the flowering greenhouse and setting up a larger number of flowering greenhouses near the funeral parlor, the transportation of orchids becomes easier and less costly, and the business area of ​​orchid growers can be expanded. Furthermore, according to the floral tribute system of the present invention, a recording medium containing individual identification information is irremovably attached to the orchids, so that by verifying the individual identification information, it can be proven that the orchids used at the funeral of the deceased and the regenerated orchids used for the first anniversary of the death are the same.

[0013] The floral tribute providing system of the present invention will be described below based on an embodiment with reference to the drawings. The drawings are schematic representations of the floral tribute providing method, the floral tribute providing system, and peripheral components of the floral tribute providing system, and the actual dimensions and dimensional ratios of these items do not necessarily correspond to those shown in the drawings. Further, redundant explanations will be omitted where appropriate. As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the floral tribute providing system 10 according to this embodiment comprises an orchid grower 1, a funeral parlor 2 that cultivates and sells orchids that have already sprouted, and an orchid user 3 who is a bereaved family member.

[0014] In this embodiment, orchid production is carried out by an orchid grower 1 and a funeral parlor 2, with the roles of the flower bud formation process and the flowering and nurturing process being shared between them. Orchid production can be broadly divided into flower bud formation and flower bud blooming. Flower bud formation is carried out by the orchid grower 1, and flower bud blooming is carried out by the funeral parlor 2. The orchid grower 1 has extensive know-how on the growing conditions suitable for orchids, and it is preferable that the orchid grower 1 manages the entire process from flower bud formation to flower bud blooming.

[0015] Orchid flower budding is a cultivation process that involves growing flower buds on orchid plants that have not yet produced flower buds. The orchid plants (hereinafter referred to as flower budding orchids 4a) are cultivated for a certain period of time by orchid grower 1 and then delivered to funeral home 2.

[0016] The funeral home 2 blooms the flower buds of the flower-sprouting orchid 4a received from the orchid grower 1. Blooming the flower buds of the orchid is a flowering process that causes the flower buds of the flower-sprouting orchid 4a to bloom. The orchid plant before the flower buds bloom (hereinafter referred to as the blooming orchid 4b) is cultivated by the funeral home 2 for a certain period of time, and becomes a blooming orchid 4. The orchid 4 is sold by the funeral home 2 to a user 3 at the funeral or the first anniversary of the death.

[0017] The orchid grower 1 has a growing greenhouse 6 where the flower buds of the flower budding orchids 4a are budding. The growing greenhouse 6 is set to a temperature and humidity close to the natural environment of the flower budding orchids 4a. In the growing greenhouse 6, the flower budding orchids 4a are given fertilizer to promote their growth, and the appropriate frequency and amount of water is provided depending on the growing season. In this way, the orchids are grown for two to four months while managing the fertilization and watering. During this growing process, the orchid grower 1 produces multiple flower buds on the flower budding orchids 4a.

[0018] As shown in Figure 3, individual identification information is attached to the flower budding orchid 4a grown in the growing greenhouse 6. The orchid grower 1 attaches unique identification information to the flower budding orchid 4a. The funeral home stores this identification information on a recording medium 7 and attaches it to the flower budding orchid 4a, for example, by a loop of wire that goes around the base of the flower budding orchid 4a. The diameter of the wire loop is set large enough that the branches and leaves of the flower budding orchid 4a cannot pass through. This prevents the recording medium 7 from falling off the flower budding orchid 4a.

[0019] It is preferable that the recording medium 7 is an irreversible RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tag. Data recorded on an RFID tag can be read wirelessly using radio waves. By using radio waves, the RFID reader 16 can read data on recording media 7 located several meters away without contact. The RFID reader 16 can also read multiple recording media 7 at once. Furthermore, the RFID reader 16 can set reading conditions to read only specific recording media 7.

[0020] The recording medium 7 is composed of an IC chip 7a and an antenna 7b connected to it. The IC chip 7a and antenna 7b are covered with a protective material 7c to improve waterproofing. The recording medium 7, which is an RFID tag, is resistant to dirt, so reading is not affected even if the surface of the recording medium 7 is dirty.

[0021] If the recording medium 7 is an irreversible RFID tag, the individual identification information recorded on the recording medium 7 cannot be changed later. Therefore, the identity of the individual identification information on the recording medium 7 can be maintained.

[0022] The individual identification information is information recorded on an RFID tag and is represented by a combination of the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters a to f. As will be described later, orchid growers 1 and funeral homes 2 manage orchids by linking this individual identification information with information such as the date of death of the deceased and the name of the chief mourner, as shown in Figure 4. As shown by arrow 1 in Figure 2, flower budded orchids 4a with flower buds are delivered to funeral home 2 with the identification information still attached. Note that a barcode or QR code may also be used as the identification information.

[0023] The funeral home 2 has a flowering greenhouse 8 (8A, 8B, 8C, 8D) where the flowering orchid 4b shown in Figure 1 blooms. The temperature of the flowering greenhouse 8 is set lower than that of the cultivation greenhouse 6. A lower temperature than that of the cultivation greenhouse 6 is suitable for the flowering of the flower buds of the flower budding orchid 4a. Therefore, the stems of the flower buds of the flower budding orchid 4a continue to grow, and the flowers can bloom after three to four months.

[0024] FIG. 2 shows the process by which an orchid is regenerated and circulated between an orchid grower 1, a funeral parlor 2, and a user 3. As indicated by arrow 2, a blooming orchid 4 is delivered to the funeral home. At the funeral, the flowers of the orchid 4 are cut off and placed in the deceased's coffin as farewell flowers. The funeral parlor 2 then collects the orchid plant from which the flowers have been cut off. Hereinafter, the orchid plant from which the flowers have been cut off will be referred to as a regenerated flower-sprouting orchid 5a.

[0025] Orchids are perennial plants, and even if the flowers are cut, they can sprout and bloom again by undergoing regeneration treatments such as removing the soil from the roots and replacing them with new soil. The funeral parlor 2 and orchid grower 1 can then perform the above-mentioned regeneration treatments on the regenerated orchid 5a and provide the regenerated orchid 5 in a blooming state to user 3 who will be celebrating the first anniversary of the death the following year. The regenerated orchid 5a, whose flowers have been cut and collected from user 3, becomes a blooming regenerated orchid 5 and is returned to the memorial service for the first anniversary, providing user 3 with value that cannot be obtained from other orchids.

[0026] A recording medium 7 is attached to the regenerated flower bud-sprouting orchid 5a in an unremovable manner. The funeral parlor 2 writes the individual identification information of the recording medium 7, as well as information such as the date of death of the deceased and the name of the chief mourner shown in Figure 4, onto the RFID tag. The individual identification information and various other information are stored on a cloud server 9, which will be described later, and are managed by the funeral parlor 2 and the orchid grower 1.

[0027] Figure 4 shows examples of various data linked to individual identification information. Data linked to individual identification information includes the orchid variety name, growth history, delivery date, re-delivery date, re-shipment destination information, flowering management information, funeral home name, funeral date, death date of the deceased, name of the chief mourner, email address, number of image accesses, and related information about the deceased and their relatives. The variety name and growth history are useful information for managing the growth of recovered plants. The delivery date and re-shipment date record the shipping date and re-shipment date. The re-shipment destination information records the re-shipment destination of orchids that have been re-flowered. The first anniversary of death is information used to determine the target flowering date in the re-flowering process.

[0028] As shown by arrow 3 in FIG. 2, the regenerated flower bud-sprouting orchid 5a is delivered to the orchid grower 1 after information such as the date of death of the deceased and the name of the chief mourner is recorded on a recording medium 7.

[0029] The orchid grower 1 performs a regeneration process on the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a in a cultivation greenhouse 6, causing it to re-sprout flowers. The orchid grower 1 can read the individual identification information and the like stored on the recording medium 7 attached to the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a using an RFID reader 16. The orchid grower 1 can also check information such as the date of death of the deceased linked to the individual identification information via a cloud server 9, which will be described later.

[0030] The orchid grower 1 determines the cultivation period by counting backwards from the date of death of the deceased. The cultivation period is determined so that the regenerated orchid 5 will bloom in time for the scheduled first anniversary of the death. The orchid grower 1 can adjust the germination time of the flower buds of the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a by controlling the temperature and humidity of the cultivation greenhouse 6 and the LED irradiation time. The flower bud germination time is adjusted so that the regenerated orchid 5 will bloom approximately 11 months after the date of death of the deceased recorded on the recording medium 7. The regenerated flower bud orchid 5a, which has been regenerated so that it will bloom in time for the first anniversary of the death, is delivered to the funeral home 2.

[0031] As shown by arrow 4 in Figure 2, the funeral home 2 receives the regenerated flower bud orchids 5a delivered from the orchid grower 1 and causes the regenerated flower bud orchids 5a to rebloom in a flowering greenhouse 8. Hereinafter, the orchid plants up to the point where the flower buds bloom will be referred to as regenerated flowering orchids 5b.

[0032] The funeral home 2 can use the RFID reader 16 to read the individual identification information stored on the recording medium 7 attached to the regenerated and flowered orchid 5b. The funeral home 2 can also check information such as the date of death of the deceased linked to the individual identification information via the cloud server 9, which will be described later. Therefore, under the guidance of the orchid grower 1, the funeral home 2 causes the flower buds of the regenerated and flowered orchid 5b to rebloom in time for the first anniversary of the death scheduled by the user 3. The regenerated orchid 5, whose flower buds have rebloomed, is delivered to the user 3 on the first anniversary of the death.

[0033] As described above, in the floral tribute system 10 of this embodiment, orchids are regenerated and circulated among the orchid grower 1, the funeral home 2, and the user 3. During this circulation process, the orchid's growing period is determined and the recipient of the re-delivery is confirmed based on the information recorded on the recording medium 7 that is irremovably attached to the orchid.

[0034] The floral tribute providing system 10 according to this embodiment is provided with a cloud server 9 that stores information on the recording medium 7. The cloud server 9 stores the individual identification information of the recording medium 7 and information related to the user 3 linked to the individual identification information. The cloud server 9 is also connected to the growing greenhouse 6 and the flowering greenhouse 8 via a network 11. By installing a predetermined application on the mobile terminal 12 of the user 3, it can be given the function of reading information from the RFID tag 15.

[0035] This allows user 3 to read the individual identification information on recording medium 7 attached to recycled orchid 5 using mobile terminal 12 and confirm that it is the same orchid used at the funeral. Furthermore, user 3 can access cloud server 9 using mobile terminal 12 to check various information linked to the individual identification information. Furthermore, by entering the individual identification information of orchid 4 at the funeral or taking an image of the individual identification information using mobile terminal 12, user 3 can confirm that the orchid 4 used at the deceased's funeral and the recycled orchid 5 delivered on the first anniversary of the death are the same.

[0036] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, the cultivation greenhouse 6 and the flowering greenhouse 8 are located in different regions. In the cultivation greenhouse 6, flower buds are produced on flower-emerging orchids 4a and regenerated flower-emerging orchids 5a. The cultivation process of producing flower buds on orchid plants that have not yet produced flower buds requires specialized knowledge, such as soil management, fertilization to promote growth, and adjusting the amount of water appropriately depending on the cultivation period. For this reason, the cultivation process of producing flower buds on orchid plants must be carried out by an orchid grower 1 with orchid cultivation know-how.

[0037] Because the flower sprout orchid 4a and the regenerated flower sprout orchid 5a are small and not in bloom, they can be transported long distances at low cost. For this reason, the cultivation greenhouse 6 does not need to be located near the funeral home 2 or the user 3. As shown in FIG. 1, the flower sprout orchid 4a and the regenerated flower sprout orchid 5a cultivated in the cultivation greenhouse 6 are delivered at low cost to multiple funeral homes 2 (e.g., funeral home 2A, funeral home 2B, funeral home 2C, and funeral home 2D) located throughout the country.

[0038] On the other hand, flowering orchids 4 and regenerated orchids 5 are large and therefore difficult to transport over long distances. Transporting large flowers over long distances without damaging them requires approximately 10 times the cost compared to short-distance transport of pre-flowering orchids, which requires only transporting the pots. Therefore, it is preferable to set up the flowering greenhouse 8 near the user 3 (funeral home). According to the inventor's calculations, the same volume required to transport flowering orchids (3 plants) can transport 50 flower budded orchids (approximately 17 times the volume).

[0039] The flowering process for causing the flower buds to bloom does not require specialized knowledge, as it can be performed simply by adjusting the temperature and humidity of the flowering greenhouse 8 and the duration of irradiation (light environment) using LED lighting. For this reason, it can be performed in the flowering greenhouses 8 (for example, flowering greenhouses 8A, 8B, 8C, and 8D) of funeral homes 2 that do not have much know-how about growing orchids.

[0040] In conventional orchid cultivation, the growing greenhouse 6 and the flowering greenhouse 8 are integrated, and the flowering orchids are delivered by the orchid grower 1. As mentioned above, long-distance transportation of large orchids after flowering is costly (logistics costs account for approximately 25% of the selling price), and this limits the business scope of the orchid grower 1. However, according to the flower offering system 10 of this embodiment, the growing greenhouse 6 and the flowering greenhouse 8 are separated, and the flowering greenhouse 8 is located near the funeral home of the user 3, thereby expanding the business scope of the orchid grower 1.

[0041] The flowering greenhouse 8 is equipped with a fixed-point observation camera 13 and a temperature and humidity sensor 14 that are connected to a cloud server 9. The orchid grower 1 can observe the flowering status of the flowering-treated orchids 4b or regenerated flowering orchids 5b in the flowering greenhouse 8 via the cloud server 9, and can remotely instruct the funeral home 2 on the LED irradiation time for the flowering greenhouse 8 based on the ascertained growth status and growth environment.

[0042] The funeral home 2 takes an image of the regenerated flowering orchid 5b and uploads images and videos showing the flowering state of the regenerated flowering orchid 5b to the cloud server 9. By accessing the cloud server 9, the user 3 can view the flowering state of the regenerated orchid used for the funeral.

[0043] FIG. 5 is an enlarged view of the interior of the flowering greenhouse 8. Using FIG. 5, we will explain how the funeral home 2 sends images and videos of the regenerated and flowered orchids 5b to the user 3. The funeral home 2 pre-registers the individual identification information of a specific user 3 in an RFID tag 15. In the flowering greenhouse 8, multiple flowering-treated orchids 4b and regenerated and flowering-treated orchids 5b have been flowered, each with a recording medium 7 attached. The RFID reader 16 can read multiple recording media 7, and the RFID tag 15 has pre-registered the individual identification information of the specific user 3. Therefore, it is possible to read only the recording medium 7 of a specific user 3 from among the multiple flowering-treated orchids 4b and regenerated and flowering-treated orchids 5b.

[0044] Using the RFID tag 15 and RFID reader 16, the funeral home 2 can locate a specific user 3's regenerated and flowered orchid 5b and significantly reduce the effort required to photograph the regenerated top of the desired orchid. The funeral home 2 uses a camera 17 to photograph the identified regenerated and flowered orchid 5b, and the images and videos taken by the camera 17 can be uploaded to the cloud server 9 via the network 11 or sent to the specified user 3. The funeral home 2 can promote the purchase of the regenerated orchid 5b by photographing the flowering state of the regenerated and flowered orchid 5b as it blooms and delivering the images to the user 3.

[0045] Figure 6 shows a series of time charts in which orchids that have sprouted and bloomed are delivered to a user 3, then collected, regenerated, and re-supplied. The orchid grower 1 attaches individual identification information to the sprouted orchids 4a, causes them to sprout, and delivers the easily transportable pre-bloomed orchids 4a to a blooming greenhouse 8 of the funeral home 2 (Figure 6(1)). The funeral home 2 receives the sprouted orchids 4a delivered by the orchid grower 1, records the individual identification information on a recording medium 7, blooms the flower buds of the sprouted orchids 4a, and delivers the bloomed orchids 4a to the funeral parlor where the funeral will be held (Figure 6(2)).

[0046] The funeral parlor 2 collects the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a, which is an orchid stub whose flower was placed in the deceased's coffin as a parting flower at the funeral (Fig. 6(3)), and links at least the date of death of the deceased and information on the surviving family to a recording medium 7 that is unremovably concealed in the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a, and delivers it to the orchid grower 1 (Fig. 6(4)). The orchid grower 1 performs a regeneration process on the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a, causing it to re-flower and delivers it to the funeral parlor 2 (Fig. 6(5)). The funeral parlor 2 receives the regenerated flower bud orchid 5a delivered by the orchid grower 1, causes it to re-bloom, and provides the regenerated orchid 5 to the surviving family member, user 3, who is approaching the first anniversary of the deceased's death (Fig. 6(6)).

[0047] In this way, the floral tribute system 10 according to this embodiment shortens the distance between the flowering greenhouse 8, where the orchids are grown, and the user 3 (funeral home), thereby facilitating the transportation of the orchids 4 or the regenerated orchids 5 and expanding the business scope of the orchid grower 1. Furthermore, the floral tribute system 10 can reliably guarantee, using the recording medium 7 irremovably attached to the orchid and the mobile terminal 12 of the user 3, that the orchid 4 used at the funeral and the regenerated orchid 5 provided to the bereaved family on the first anniversary of the death are the same.

[0048] The distribution route shown in the floral tribute delivery system 10 of the present invention is an example, and the present invention is not limited thereto. The various periods shown here are described for ease of explanation, and the present invention is not limited thereto. Information linked to the recording medium 7, the fixed observation camera 13 for observing the blooming state of the orchids, and the temperature and humidity sensor 14 can be added or changed as appropriate.
