[Figure 7] Figure 6 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow from ordering the lid to delivering the storage unit, using the management system shown. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0012] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Figure 1 is a front view showing the pet urn 1 of this embodiment. Figure 2 is a front view showing the storage section 20 of the pet urn 1. Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the lid 10 of the pet urn 1 placed on the mounting base 30. Figure 4 is a bottom view showing the lid 10 of the pet urn 1.
[0013] Pet urn 1 is capable of containing the bones of a pet and can also be used for decorative purposes. The pets are not particularly limited and include, for example, mammals such as dogs and cats, birds, reptiles, etc.
[0014] As shown in Figure 1, the pet urn 1 comprises a storage section 20 and a lid section 10 that serves as a lid for the storage section 20.
[0015] The storage section 20 is a bottomed cylindrical container capable of storing pet bones. The storage section 20 has a plate-shaped bottom 21, cylindrical sides 22, and an opening 23 through which pet bones can be inserted and removed.
[0016] The base 21 is circular in plan view, but its shape is not particularly limited. For example, the base 21 may be elliptical or polygonal in plan view.
[0017] The side portion 22 forms the side surface 221 of the accommodating portion 20 and is a portion that rises from the peripheral edge side on the upper surface of the bottom portion 21. The pet's bone is accommodated in an accommodation space which is a space surrounded by the bottom portion 21 and the side portion 22. In the present embodiment, the bottom portion 21 and the side portion 22 are separate members and are formed so as to be separable from each other. The bottom portion 21 is formed of a plate-like member, and the side portion 22 is formed of a cylindrical member.
[0018] On the side portion 22, a pet name display portion 222, a lifespan display portion 223, and a manufacturing identification display portion 224 are displayed on its outer peripheral surface that forms the side surface 221 of the accommodating portion 20. As shown in FIG. 2, the pet name display portion 222, the lifespan display portion 223, and the product identification display portion 224 are formed on the central side in the axial direction X of the accommodating portion 20 in the side portion 22. The name of the pet is displayed on the pet name display portion 222, the lifespan of the pet is displayed on the lifespan display portion 223, and the age of the pet is displayed on the age display portion 224.
[0019] A plurality of ventilation holes 225 and 226 that communicate the outside of the accommodating portion 20 and the accommodation space are formed in the side portion 22. A plurality of ventilation holes 225 are formed on one end side in the axial direction X in the side portion 22, that is, on the opening 23 side. The openings of the plurality of ventilation holes 225 are holes having a substantially circular shape.
[0020] One ventilation hole 226 is formed on the other end side in the axial direction X, that is, on the bottom portion 21 side. The ventilation hole 226 is formed such that its opening extends in the circumferential direction of the side portion 22, and the opening area thereof is larger than the opening area of each ventilation hole 225. The cylindrical member forming the side portion 22 in the present embodiment has a notch portion at the edge on the other end side in the axial direction X thereof. In the present embodiment, the ventilation hole 226 is formed by closing the portion of the notch portion of the cylindrical member that is open to the other end side in the axial direction X with the plate-like member forming the bottom portion 21. The ventilation holes 225 and 226 can circulate the air in the accommodation space and the outside air to remove the moisture in the accommodating portion 20 and prevent the deterioration of the bone.
[0021] The opening 23 is an area enclosed by the upper edge 227 of the side portion 22 and is formed in a position opposite the bottom portion 21. The opening 23 is closed by attaching the lid portion 10 to the upper edge 227.
[0022] The lid 10 is detachable from the storage section 20 so as to cover the opening 23 of the storage section 20, and functions as a lid for the pet urn 1 as well as a decorative object. The lid 10 has a plate-shaped base 11 and a three-dimensional image 12 of the pet in question.
[0023] Image 12 is an image formed based on 3D data relating to the external shape of the pet in question. The 3D data may be data obtained by 3D scanning, which involves taking pictures of the pet from various angles. Alternatively, the 3D data may be data generated using photogrammetry technology from multiple still images or videos taken from various angles. By using 3D data relating to the external shape of the pet obtained through 3D scanning, etc., a three-dimensional image 12 that more realistically reproduces the pet's external shape is formed. It is preferable that the 3D data be data obtained by 3D scanning, etc., of a living pet, as this allows for the reproduction of a lively and energetic appearance of the pet.
[0024] Image 12 is fabricated by a 3D printer using 3D data of the acquired pet's external shape. The method for forming image 12 by 3D printing is not particularly limited and includes well-known methods such as vat photopolymerization, material spraying, binder spraying, powder bed fusion bonding, material extrusion, directed energy volumetric deposition, and sheet lamination. Image 12 may be made of metal, resin, or ceramic. Image 12 is preferably made of metal from the viewpoint of design and durability.
[0025] The base portion 11 can be stably placed on a flat surface and is a part that can be attached to and detached from the side portion 22 of the housing portion 20 so as to cover the opening 23. In this embodiment, the base portion 11 is formed in a disc shape as a whole. Specifically, the base portion 11 is a short cylindrical shape and has a portion of the same diameter 113 in which its bottom surface 112 is formed, and a portion of reduced diameter 114 extending from the portion of the same diameter 113 in which the top surface 111 is formed.
[0026] The same-diameter portion 113 is formed with a diameter that is approximately equal from the bottom surface 112 side to the boundary with the reduced-diameter portion 114. The reduced-diameter portion 114 is formed so that its diameter decreases as it moves from the same-diameter portion 113 toward the top surface 111 side. Due to the shape of this reduced-diameter portion 114, a tapered surface is formed on the side surface of the base portion 11 toward the top surface 111.
[0027] As shown in Figure 3, an image 12 is erected on the upper surface 111 of the base 11. The bottom surface 112 of the base 11, that is, the surface that covers the opening 23 of the housing 20 when attached to the housing 20, is flat as shown in Figure 4, and a groove 115 is formed on the inner side of its outer circumference 116. The groove 115 is formed continuously in the circumferential direction of the base 11 in a circle smaller than the outer diameter of the bottom surface 112. The groove 115 fits with the upper edge 227 of the housing 20. This configuration of the bottom surface 112 allows the lid 10 to function as a lid and also ensures aesthetic appeal when used as an ornament.
[0028] When the lid portion 10 is used as an ornament, for example, the lid portion 10 may be placed on a dedicated mounting base 30 as shown in Figure 3. The mounting base 30 is plate-shaped, and its upper surface, the mounting surface of the lid portion 10, is flat. When the lid portion 10 is placed on a flat surface such as the mounting base 30 (hereinafter referred to as the flat surface), the bottom surface 112, excluding the groove portion 115, is in contact with the flat surface, and there is no step between the flat surface and the side surface of the base portion 11.
[0029] According to the pet urn 1 of this embodiment, the following effects are achieved.
[0030] The pet urn 1 according to this embodiment comprises a cylindrical storage section 20 capable of accommodating the bones of the pet, a base 11, a three-dimensional image 12 of the pet formed based on 3D data relating to the external shape of the pet and erected from the upper surface 111 of the base 11, and a lid 10 that is detachable from the storage section 20 so as to cover the opening 23 of the storage section 20, the lid 10 can also be used as an ornament.
[0031] Many people involved with pets (hereinafter referred to as "pet-related parties") feel uncomfortable having an urn made for their pet's remains while the pet is still alive. For this reason, pet-related parties find it difficult to imagine having an image of their pet while it is still healthy preserved for the urn, and they experience psychological resistance to this idea. Pet-related parties include, for example, pet owners, their relatives, friends, and acquaintances.
[0032] According to this embodiment, since the lid 10 can also be used as an ornament, for example, while the pet is alive, the lid 10, on which a three-dimensional image 12 of the pet is formed, can be used as an ornament without the bone storage section 20, which may cause psychological resistance. By placing this lid 10 in the living space of pet owners, they can feel closer to their pet. Furthermore, after the pet has passed away, it can be used as both an urn with the pet's bones stored in the storage section 20 and an ornament with a three-dimensional image 12 showing the pet's appearance when it was alive and healthy. Therefore, the urn can be used effectively without psychological resistance both while the pet is alive and after its death.
[0033] In the pet urn 1 according to this embodiment, ventilation holes 225 and 226 are formed on the side surfaces 221 of one end and the other end of the storage section 20 in the axial direction X.
[0034] This protects the pet bones stored in the storage compartment 20 from moisture and other elements.
[0035] In the pet urn 1 according to this embodiment, the base 11 has a flat bottom surface 112, and a groove 115 is formed on the inner side of the outer circumference 116 that fits with the edge 227 of the housing 20.
[0036] As a result, the groove 115 formed on the bottom surface 112 fits with the edge 227, allowing the lid 10 to be attached to the storage section 20 more securely, and because the bottom surface 112 is flat, the aesthetic appeal of the lid 10 when used as an ornament is ensured.
[0037] Next, a diagram shows how to provide end-of-life care services using the pet urn 1 according to this embodiment. I will explain this while referring to Figure 5. Figure 5 is a flowchart showing an example of the flow of how end-of-life planning services are provided.
[0038] The method for providing end-of-life care services for pets according to this embodiment includes a lid creation step of creating a lid 10, a lid provision step of providing the lid 10 to pet-related parties, a storage unit creation step of creating a storage unit 20, and a storage unit provision step of providing the storage unit 20 to pet-related parties.
[0039] The lid creation step includes a data acquisition step, a base creation step, and an image creation step. The process shown in Figure 5 is initiated when an order for the lid 10 is received from a pet owner. In this embodiment, the lid creation step is performed while the pet is still alive. The pet owner orders the lid 10 for use as a decorative object.
[0040] As shown in Figure 5, in the data acquisition step S11, 3D data of the pet's external shape is acquired. For example, 3D scanning is performed in all 360 degrees to acquire 3D data of the pet.
[0041] In the base creation step S12, the base 11 is created. In this embodiment, a base 11 of a type selected by the pet owner is created.
[0042] In the image creation step of step S13, a three-dimensional image 12 of the pet is created based on the 3D data acquired in step S11. Specifically, in the image creation step, the image 12 is fabricated by a 3D printer that has been loaded with the 3D data. The 3D data loaded into the 3D printer is, for example, data that shows the external shape of the pet in a desired pose, selected by the pet owner from the 3D data acquired in step S11. In the image creation step of this embodiment, the base 11 created in step S12 is used as the base plate of the 3D printer, and the image 12 is fabricated so that it stands upright on the upper surface 111 of the base 11. This creates a lid 10 having the base 11 and the image 12. As in this embodiment, by using the base 11 as the base plate for fabricating the image 12 with a 3D printer, the base plate as a consumable item can be eliminated, and operating costs can be reduced.
[0043] In step S14, the lid provision step, the lid 10 created in step S13 is provided to pet-related parties.
[0044] If a predetermined condition is met in step S15, step S16 is executed. The predetermined condition may be that an order for the storage unit 20 is received from a pet-related party. For example, a pet-related party may order the storage unit 20 to store the bones of a pet when the pet whose model of the image 12 created in step S13, i.e., the pet whose 3D data was acquired in step S11, passes away.
[0045] In step S16, the storage section creation step, a storage section 20 corresponding to the base 11 created in step S11 is created. That is, in the storage section creation step, a storage section 20 is created to which the base 11 can be attached and detached so as to cover the opening 23.
[0046] In step S17, the storage unit provision step, the storage unit 20 created in step S16 is provided to the pet-related party who ordered the storage unit 20 in step S15.
[0047] In the example shown in Figure 5, the storage compartment creation step was executed when the predetermined conditions were met in step S15. However, the storage compartment creation step may be executed before the predetermined conditions are met. That is, the storage compartment 20 corresponding to the lid 10 created in step S13 may be created before receiving an order for the storage compartment 20 from a pet-related party.
[0048] The method of providing end-of-life care services for pets according to this embodiment yields the following effects.
[0049] The method for providing end-of-life care services for pets according to this embodiment includes the steps of creating a lid 10, which include: creating a three-dimensional image 12 of the pet based on 3D data relating to the external shape of the target pet, and creating the lid 10 using the created three-dimensional image 12 of the pet; providing the lid 10 created in the lid creation step to the target pet owner; creating a storage compartment 20; and providing the storage compartment 20 to the target pet owner after the lid provision step, provided that predetermined conditions are met.
[0050] First, since only the lid 10 of the pet urn 1 is provided to pet owners and related parties for use as a decorative object, pet owners and related parties can be provided with the lid 10, which has a three-dimensional image of the pet while it was alive, without having to think about saying goodbye to their pet in the future. Then, after the pet passes away, the lid 10, which has an image 12 of the pet while it was healthy, can be used as the lid of the urn, allowing them to reminisce about the time when their pet was healthy. Therefore, pet owners and other pet owners and related parties can effectively provide end-of-life care services without any psychological resistance.
[0051] Next, we will explain the management system 100 that enables the provision of end-of-life planning services.
[0052] The management system 100 is a system for sending and receiving information with customer terminals 5 and for providing pet urns 1 from end-of-life service providers to customers who are pet owners. The management system 100 consists of a server 4, a scanning terminal 6, and a manufacturing terminal 7.
[0053] Customer terminal 5 is a terminal operated by pet-related personnel who order items such as the lid 10, storage compartment 20, and pet urn 1.
[0054] Scanning terminal 6 is a terminal on the end-of-life care service provider's side and is used to perform 3D scans of pets.
[0055] The manufacturing terminal 7 is a terminal on the provider side of the end-of-life care service, and is used to manufacture the lid 10 and the storage compartment 20.
[0056] Server 4 is a device that manages order information for the lid 10 and storage compartment 20, 3D data of pets, and information regarding the manufactured lid 10 and storage compartment 20, as well as sending and receiving information with various terminals.
[0057] Server 4 comprises a processor 40 that implements various functions of Server 4, and a storage unit 46 that is a storage area for various programs and various data.
[0058] The processor 40 includes a first order receiving unit 41, a second order receiving unit 42, a 3D data processing unit 43, a manufacturing processing unit 44, and a delivery processing unit 45.
[0059] The first order receiving unit 41 executes a process to receive order information for the lid unit 10 (hereinafter referred to as lid order information) from the customer terminal 5. Examples of lid order information include customer information, the type of lid unit 10, and scan information such as the date and time of scanning requested by the customer. The first order receiving unit 41 manages the lid order information in the storage unit 46, linking it to an order ID.
[0060] The second order receiving unit 42 executes a process to receive order information for the storage unit 20 (hereinafter referred to as storage unit order information) from the customer terminal 5. Examples of storage unit order information include customer information, desired delivery date, pet's name, pet's lifespan, pet's age, etc. The second order receiving unit 42 reads from the storage unit 46 the lid order information that includes the same customer information as the received storage unit order information, and identifies the type of storage unit 20 that corresponds to the type of lid 10 indicated by the read lid order information. That is, the second order receiving unit 42 identifies the type of storage unit 20 to which the lid 10 can be attached and detached, which was previously ordered by the same customer. The second order receiving unit 42 then stores the identified type of storage unit 20 in the storage unit 46, linked to the order ID, along with the lid order information of the same customer as the storage unit order information.
[0061] The 3D data processing unit 43 transmits the scan information received by the first order receiving unit 41 to the scan terminal 6. The end-of-life care service provider operates the scan terminal 6, confirms the scan information, and performs a 3D scan of the customer's pet at the scheduled scan date and time.
[0062] Furthermore, the 3D data processing unit 43 acquires the 3D data of the pet transmitted from the scanning terminal 6 and manages it in the storage unit 46, linking it with the order ID of the customer's lid 10. At this time, the 3D data processing unit 43 generates 3D preview data from the 3D data for selecting a pose for the pet for the statue 12 and transmits it to the customer terminal 5. The 3D data processing unit 43 acquires the result of the pose selection for the pet for the statue 12 (hereinafter referred to as pose selection information) selected by the pet owner from the 3D preview data from the customer terminal 5.
[0063] The manufacturing processing unit 44 performs the process of transmitting manufacturing information for the lid 10 and manufacturing information for the storage unit 20 to the manufacturing terminal 7.
[0064] Information for manufacturing the lid includes 3D data of the pet, pose selection information, and types of lids 10. The provider of the end-of-life care service operates the manufacturing terminal 7 and manufactures the lids 10 corresponding to the information while checking the lid manufacturing information.
[0065] The information used for manufacturing the storage unit includes the type of storage unit 20 identified by the second order receiving unit 42, the customer's desired delivery date, and so on. The provider of the end-of-life care service operates the manufacturing terminal 7 and manufactures the storage unit 20 while confirming the information used for manufacturing the storage unit.
[0066] The delivery processing unit 45 transmits lid delivery information and storage unit delivery information from the manufacturing processing unit 44 to the customer terminal 5 and performs processing to manage the information in the storage unit 46. Examples of lid delivery information include information about the lid 10 to be delivered and the scheduled delivery date and time. Examples of storage unit delivery information include information about the storage unit 20 to be delivered and the scheduled delivery date and time.
[0067] Next, an example of an end-of-life service using the management system 100 will be explained with reference to Figure 7. Figure 7 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the flow from ordering the lid 10 to the delivery of the storage unit 20 using the management system 100.
[0068] As shown in Figure 7, in step S21, the pet-related party sends lid order information to the server 4 via the customer terminal 5, including the type of lid 10 they wish to purchase and the desired date and time for scanning their pet.
[0069] In step S22, the server 4 stores the acquired lid order information linked to the order ID, and also transmits scan information such as the type of lid 10 and the desired date and time for scanning from the lid order information to the scanning terminal.
[0070] In step S23, the 3D data of the pet obtained by 3D scanning based on the scanning information is transmitted from the scanning terminal 6 to the server 4.
[0071] In step S24, server 4 generates 3D preview data from the 3D data acquired in step S23 and transmits the generated 3D preview data to customer terminal 5.
[0072] In step S25, the pet owner selects a pose for the pet to be used in the image 12 from the 3D preview data and sends the selection result as pose selection information to the server 4 via the customer terminal 5.
[0073] In step S26, server 4 acquires the pose selection information transmitted in step S25 and transmits manufacturing information for the lid, including this pose selection information, the 3D data of the pet acquired in step S23, and the type of lid 10 selected by the customer, to manufacturing terminal 7.
[0074] In step S27, after the lid 10 is created based on the lid manufacturing information, the server 4 obtains the lid delivery information of the created lid 10 from the manufacturing terminal 7, stores it in the storage unit 46, and transmits it to the customer terminal 5. This allows pet owners who ordered the lid 10 to access information about the manufactured lid 10 and the scheduled delivery date and time via the customer terminal 5. At this point, since pet owners only purchase the lid 10 with the three-dimensional image 12 of their pet, they can use the lid 10 as a decorative object without having to think about saying goodbye to their pet in the future.
[0075] In step S28, the pet owner who purchased the lid 10 sends the storage unit order information to the server 4 via the customer terminal 5 in order to store the pet's bones in the lid 10 if the pet that is the model for the image 12 on the lid 10 has passed away.
[0076] In step S29, the server 4, having received the storage unit order information, reads the lid order information from the storage unit 46, which includes the same customer information as indicated by the storage unit order information, and identifies the type of storage unit 20 that corresponds to the type of lid 10 indicated by the read lid order information. That is, the second order receiving unit 42 identifies the type of storage unit 20 to which the lid 10 can be attached and detached, which was previously ordered by the same customer. The second order receiving unit 42 then transmits the identified type of storage unit 20 and the storage unit order information to the manufacturing terminal 7.
[0077] In step S30, after the storage unit 20 is created based on the storage unit manufacturing information, the server 4 obtains the storage unit delivery information for the created storage unit 20 from the manufacturing terminal 7, stores it in the storage unit 46, and transmits it to the customer terminal 5. This allows pet owners who ordered the storage unit 20 to access information about the manufactured storage unit 20 and the scheduled delivery date and time via the customer terminal 5. Pet owners can then place their pet's ashes in the purchased storage unit 20 and attach the lid 10 purchased in step S27 to use it as a pet urn 1. The lid 10 has an image 12 of the pet when it was healthy, so pet owners can look at the pet urn 1 and reminisce about their pet's healthy days.
[0078] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and can be modified as appropriate.
[0079] In the above embodiment, the bottom 21 and side 22 of the housing 20 were separate components formed to be separable from each other, but the bottom 21 and side 22 may be integrally molded. [Explanation of Symbols]
