Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] However, in order to implement the comprehensive pet information management system of Patent Document 1, it is necessary to arrange pet facility employees at the pet facilities where pets are left. Such a personnel requirement hinders the spread of facilities where pets can be left.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to enable reduction of the number of personnel for management in a facility for boarding pets.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0007] (1) A pet rental space facility that forms a pet rental space capable of temporarily accommodating a pet, comprising private rooms that form the pet rental space, wherein the private rooms have doors that can be locked or unlocked by a user who accommodates a pet, characterized as a pet rental space facility.

[0008] In the invention of (1), the pet rental space facility forms a pet rental space capable of temporarily accommodating a pet and comprises private rooms. The private rooms form the pet rental space. And the private rooms have doors that can be locked or unlocked by a user who accommodates a pet.

[0009] According to the invention of (1), the private rooms that form the pet rental space have doors that can be locked or unlocked by a user who accommodates a pet. Thereby, the user can unlock the door of the private room by himself / herself, accommodate the pet in the pet rental space formed by the private room, and lock or unlock the door. Therefore, it is not necessary to station a manager (a person who takes in a pet from a user and accommodates it in a private room) of the pet rental space facility. Thus, in a facility for boarding pets, it becomes possible to reduce the number of personnel for management.

[0010] (2) A pet rental space management system for managing the pet rental space facility according to (1), A pet rental space management system characterized by comprising a usage fee determination means for determining a usage fee of the pet rental space to be charged to a user according to internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room.

The usage fee determination means determines a usage fee of the pet rental space to be charged to a user according to internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room.

[0012] According to the invention of (2), a usage fee of the pet rental space to be charged to a user is determined according to internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room. Thereby, it becomes possible to vary the usage fee according to the usage status inside the private room (for example, it is possible to set a higher usage fee for a user who has used it inappropriately). Therefore, for example, even without arranging a monitor at the pet rental space facility, appropriate use by the user can be expected. Therefore, in a facility for boarding pets, it is possible to reduce the number of staff for management.

[0013] (3) An image information acquisition means for acquiring internal image information showing an image inside the private room, An analysis means for generating an analysis result which is a result of analyzing the internal image information as the internal information, and further comprising: The usage fee determination means determines the usage fee according to the analysis result, and the pet rental space management system according to (2).

The image information acquisition means acquires internal image information showing an image inside the private room. The analysis means generates an analysis result which is a result of analyzing the internal image information as the internal information. And the usage fee determination means determines the usage fee according to the analysis result.

[0015] According to the invention of (3), according to the analysis result which is the result of analyzing the internal image information, the usage fee of the rental space for pets to be charged to the user is determined. Thereby, it becomes possible to analyze the internal image information of the private room and vary the usage fee according to this analysis result (for example, it is possible to set a higher usage fee for a user who has used it inappropriately). Therefore, for example, even if no monitor is arranged in the rental space facility for pets, appropriate use by the user can be expected. Therefore, in the facility for boarding pets, it is possible to reduce the number of personnel for management.

[0016] (4) The image information acquisition means acquires post - use internal image information indicating the internal image after the use of the private room. The analysis means generates the analysis result which is the result of analyzing the post - use internal image information. The usage fee determination means determines an additional fee separate from the basic fee among the usage fees according to the analysis result, which is a pet rental space management system according to (3).

[0017] In the invention of (4), the image information acquisition means acquires post - use internal image information indicating the internal image after the use of the private room. The analysis means generates the analysis result which is the result of analyzing the post - use internal image information. And the usage fee determination means determines an additional fee separate from the basic fee among the usage fees according to the analysis result.

[0018] According to the invention of (4), an additional fee separate from the basic fee among the usage fees is determined according to the analysis result of the post - use internal image information. Thereby, it becomes possible to charge an additional fee separate from the basic fee according to the analysis result of the internal image information after the use of the private room. For this reason, for example, it becomes possible to charge an additional fee separately from the basic fee to a user who has neglected to clean the private room after use. Therefore, it is possible to prompt the user to clean the private room after use by themselves. Therefore, in a facility for boarding pets, it becomes possible to reduce the number of staff for management.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0024] Hereinafter, with reference to the accompanying drawings, embodiments for carrying out the present invention (hereinafter, embodiments) will be described in detail. In the following figures, the same elements are denoted by the same numbers or symbols throughout the description of the embodiments.

[0025] (Basic Concept / Basic Configuration) FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of a rental space facility for pets and a rental space management system for pets according to an embodiment of the present invention. A rental space management system 1 for pets (hereinafter, also referred to as "management system 1") manages a rental space facility 100 for pets that forms a rental space S for pets in which a user can temporarily accommodate a pet P.

[0026] The management system 1 controls various facilities (image acquisition means (such as cameras), air conditioning facilities, lighting means, electronic locks, etc.) provided in the rental space S for pets, and receives internal image information (for example, still images, moving images, etc.) showing the inside of the rental space S for pets and environmental information showing the temperature, etc. inside the rental space S for pets from the rental space facility 100 for pets.

[0027] In addition, in the pet rental space facility 100, the management system 1 transmits the lock information (for example, a password for locking or unlocking an electronic lock) of the individual room key means 112 provided on the individual room door 111 of the individual room 110 that forms the pet rental space S to the user terminal 2 operated by the user.

[0028] The user can temporarily accommodate the pet P in the pet rental space S by unlocking or locking the individual room door 111 of the individual room 110 with the lock information received by the user terminal 2.

[0029] FIG. 2 is a plan view of a pet rental space facility according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a pet rental space facility according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pet rental space facility 100 has a building 101 that forms structures such as a floor, an outer wall, and a roof, and a plurality (five in the example shown in FIG. 2) of booths 102 are arranged in the building 101.

[0030] Each booth 102 includes an individual room 110 arranged on the back side that forms the pet rental space S, and a user work space 120 arranged on the front side of the individual room 110. The individual room 110 is provided with an individual room door 111 through which the user can take the pet P in and out of the pet rental space S. The work space 120 is provided with a booth door 121 through which the user can enter and exit with the pet P, and the booth door 121 is provided with booth key means 122 (see FIG. 2). In addition, each booth 102 is provided with environment information detection means (for example, sensors constituting a thermometer and a hygrometer) capable of detecting the internal environment (temperature, humidity, etc.), air conditioning equipment for air conditioning the interior, and lighting means.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 3, in each booth 102, a plurality (two in the example shown in FIG. 3) of individual rooms 110 are arranged vertically.

[0032] FIG. 4 is a diagram for explaining various facilities provided in a pet rental space facility according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0033] In the individual room 110, there are provided an individual room key means 112 for locking or unlocking the individual room door 111, an imaging means 113 (e.g., a camera, etc.) for imaging the inside of the rental space S for pets, a lighting means 114, and a heating means (e.g., a heater arranged on the floor, etc.) 115. Note that in the individual room 110, not limited to these facilities, for example, a weighing scale or the like may be provided.

[0034] The various facilities described above may be controllable by the management system 1 (see FIG. 1), may be controllable by a user operation via an operation unit provided in the booth 102, or may be controllable by a computer provided in each facility.

[0035] FIG. 5 is a diagram showing the functional configuration of a rental space management system for pets according to an embodiment of the present invention. The rental space management system 1 for pets (management system 1) is connected via a network to various facilities (individual room key means 112, imaging means 113, lighting means 114, etc.) provided in the rental space facility 100 for pets, a user terminal 2 operated by a user, a user management means 10, a key management means 11, an environment management means 12, an image information acquisition means 13, an analysis means 14, a usage fee determination means 15, and a storage means 20.

[0036] Based on user information (e.g., name, address, etc.) transmitted from the user terminal 2, the user management means 10 constructs a user information database (hereinafter, also referred to as "user information DB") and stores it in the storage means 20.

[0037] The user information DB associates user identification information for identifying a user assigned by the user management means 10 with personal information (name, address, contact information, etc.), pet information (dog breed, vaccination certificate, etc.), history information (usage history of the rental space facility 100 for pets, evaluation at the time of use, etc.), reservation information (usage plan of which individual room in the rental space facility 100 (usage start date and time, usage end date and time, etc.), etc.).

[0038] The key management means 11 manages the locking or unlocking of the key means provided in the individual room key means 112 (see FIG. 2) and the booth key means 122 (see FIG. 2) of the pet rental space facility 100, and transmits key information (for example, a password for locking or unlocking an electronic lock, etc.) for locking or unlocking the individual room key means 112 and the booth key means 122 to the user terminal 2.

[0039] In addition, when the individual room key means 112 or the booth key means 122 is unlocked, the key management means 11 receives unlocking information from the individual room key means 112 or the booth key means 122, and when the individual room key means 112 or the booth key means 122 is locked, the key management means 11 receives locking information from the individual room key means 112 or the booth key means 122.

[0040] The user can temporarily accommodate the pet P in the pet rental space S by unlocking or locking the booth key means 122 (see FIG. 2) of the booth 102 provided with the individual room 110 that the user uses and the individual room key means 112 of the individual room 110 that the user uses based on the key information received by the user terminal 2.

[0041] The environment management means 12 receives environment information (information indicating temperature, information indicating humidity, information indicating brightness, etc.) from environment information detection means (for example, sensors constituting a thermometer and a hygrometer, etc.) provided in the pet rental space facility 100. Then, based on the received environment information, the environment management means 12 controls the air conditioning equipment, the lighting means 114, etc. provided in the pet rental space facility 100.

[0042] When the image information acquisition means 13 described later acquires internal image information after use, the environment management means 12 may control the imaging means 113 provided in the pet rental space facility 100 to cause the illumination means 114 to emit light that clarifies the dirt in the private room 110 at the timing of imaging by the imaging means 113. In this case, for example, the illumination means 114 is configured to be able to emit black light, and the environment management means 12 causes the illumination means 114 to emit black light at the timing when the image information acquisition means 13 acquires internal image information after use (when the imaging means 113 images after the private room 110 is used by the user).

[0043] The image information acquisition means 13 acquires internal image information indicating the internal image of each private room 110 imaged by the imaging means 113 provided in each of the plurality of private rooms 110 of the pet rental space facility 100, and stores it in the storage means 20. Further, the image information acquisition means 13 acquires, in association with each other, internal image information indicating the internal image of each booth 102 imaged by the imaging means provided in each of the plurality of booths 102 of the pet rental space facility 100 and time information indicating the imaging time, and stores it in the storage means 20.

[0044] FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the image information acquisition means in the pet rental space management system according to the embodiment of the present invention. The image information acquisition means 13 acquires pre-use internal image information, during-use internal image information, and post-use internal image information.

[0045] The image information acquisition means 13 may control the imaging means 113 provided in the pet rental space facility 100. In this case, the image information acquisition means 13 controls the timing of imaging by the imaging means 113 for acquiring pre-use internal image information, during-use internal image information, and post-use internal image information, and acquires pre-use internal image information, during-use internal image information, and post-use internal image information from the imaging means 113.

[0046] The internal image information before use is information indicating an image captured before the private room 110 is used by the user. For example, in a state where the private room key means 112 and the booth key means 122 are locked (for example, a state where the user is not in the pet rental space facility 100), the image information acquisition means 13 acquires the internal image information before use after the key management means 11 receives the unlocking information from the booth key means 122 and before the key management means 11 receives the unlocking information from the private room key means 112, around a predetermined time (for example, 10 minutes, etc.) before the time when the private room 110 is scheduled to be used by the user. Such internal image information before use is used for the administrator side of the pet rental space facility 100 to confirm the state of the private room 110 before use by a certain user.

[0047] The internal image information during use is information indicating an image captured while the private room 110 is being used by the user. For example, the image information acquisition means 13 may transmit the internal image information during use to the user terminal 2 of the user using the private room 110. Thereby, the user can confirm the state of the pet P accommodated in the private room 110 on the user terminal 2.

[0048] The internal image information after use is information indicating an image captured after the private room 110 is used by the user. For example, the image information acquisition means 13 acquires the internal image information after use when the key management means 11 receives the unlocking information from the private room key means 112 after the elapse of the scheduled end time of use of the private room 110 by the user. Such internal image information after use indicates the state of the private room 110 after use by the user. For example, when the pet has soiled the private room 110, it is used to determine whether the user has cleaned the stain.

[0049] Incidentally, the image information acquisition means 13 may acquire pre-use internal image information and post-use internal image information from the user terminal 2. In this case, for example, the user uses the user terminal 2 to capture an image of the interior of the private room 110 before using the private room 110 and transmits the image as pre-use internal image information to the management system 1. Further, the user uses the user terminal 2 to capture an image of the interior of the private room 110 after using the private room 110 and transmits the image as post-use internal image information to the management system 1.

[0050] Returning to FIG. 5, the analysis means 14 generates an analysis result that is the result of analyzing the internal image information as internal information. Specifically, the analysis means 14 generates an analysis result that is the result of analyzing the pre-use internal image information and the post-use internal image information acquired by the image information acquisition means 13.

[0051] FIG. 7 is a diagram for explaining the processing of the analysis means in the rental space management system for pets according to the embodiment of the present invention. In FIG. 7, the upper diagram shows the pre-use internal image information or the post-use internal image information that results in a cleaned state in the analysis result of the analysis means 14, and the lower diagram shows the pre-use internal image information or the post-use internal image information that results in an uncleaned state in the analysis result of the analysis means 14.

[0052] Specifically, the analysis means 14 analyzes the pre-use internal image information and the post-use internal image information (hereinafter also referred to as "image information") to analyze (determine) whether the region due to the stain D is included in these image information. If the stain D is not included, an analysis result indicating that it has been cleaned is generated. If the stain D is included, an analysis result indicating that it has not been cleaned is generated, and the analysis result is stored in the storage means 20. The stain D analyzed by the analysis means 14 includes pet feces and used pet supplies (sheets), etc.

[0053] For example, the analysis means 14 analyzes (determines) whether the image information contains an area due to dirt D by AI (Artificial Intelligence). Further, the analysis means 14 may analyze (determine) whether the image information contains an area due to dirt D based on whether the image information contains a predetermined number or more of pixels indicating the characteristics of the area due to dirt D. In this case, the pixels indicating the characteristics of the area due to dirt D are, for example, pixels having a luminance or brightness indicating a value equal to or greater than a predetermined value, or pixels having characteristics (for example, color, brightness, etc.) different from the characteristics of the pixels indicating the walls and floors of the private room 110. Note that the analysis means 14 can analyze (determine) whether the image information contains an area due to dirt D by any method as long as it can analyze (determine) whether the area due to dirt D is present in the image information.

[0054] Returning to FIG. 5, the usage fee determination means 15 determines the usage fee of the pet rental space S to be billed to the user according to the internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room. Specifically, the usage fee determination means 15 determines the usage fee according to the analysis result of the analysis means 14 and stores it in the storage means 20. Specifically, the usage fee determination means 15 determines, as the usage fee, a basic fee, an additional fee, and a deduction fee according to the analysis result.

[0055] The usage fee determination means 15 determines the basic fee based on the fee table stored in the storage means 20. The fee table defines the basic fee according to the usage period of the pet rental space S. Note that the usage fee determination means 15 may determine a predetermined fee stored in the storage means 20 as the basic fee.

[0056] In addition, when the analysis result by the analysis means 14 for the internal image information after use acquired by the image information acquisition means 13 is uncleaned, the usage fee determination means 15 determines a predetermined fee as the additional fee.

[0057] In addition, when the analysis result by the analysis means 14 for the internal image information before use acquired by the image information acquisition means 13 is uncleaned, the usage fee determination means 15 determines a predetermined fee as the deduction fee.

[0058] The usage fee determination means 15 may transmit the determined usage fee to the user terminal 2 of the user to whom the usage fee is billed, or may transmit it to an external server that operates payment by credit card, for example.

[0059] That is, when the user does not clean the private room 110 in which the pet P is housed after using the rental space S for pets, in addition to the basic fee, an additional fee will be billed as the usage fee. On the other hand, when the private room 110 to be used is dirty before using the rental space S for pets (when the previous user did not clean it), the amount obtained by reducing the deduction fee from the basic fee will be billed as the usage fee.

[0060] Note that the usage fee determination means 15 may subtract the additional fee from a preset deposit instead of billing the additional fee in addition to the basic fee. Also, instead of reducing the deduction fee from the basic fee, the usage fee determination means 15 may give added value (such as points available to the user) to the user.

[0061] The user terminal 2 is composed of, for example, a smartphone, a tablet terminal, a personal computer, etc., accepts the input operation of the user, and transmits and receives information to and from various facilities provided in the management system 1 and the pet rental space facility 100 via a network.

[0062] Specifically, the user terminal 2 receives lock information (for example, a password for locking or unlocking an electronic lock) for locking or unlocking the private room key means 112 or the booth key means 122 from the key management means 11 of the management system 1 in order to use the private room 110 scheduled to be used in the pet rental space facility 100. The user can use the private room 110 scheduled to be used with this lock information.

[0063] In addition, the user terminal 2 receives the internal image information during use from the imaging means 113 provided in the pet rental space facility 100 and the image information acquisition means 13 of the management system 1, and displays it on a display means such as a display. The user can view the state of the pet P housed in the private room 110 based on this internal image information during use.

[0064] The functional configuration of the above-described system is merely an example, and one functional block (database and functional processing unit) may be divided, or a plurality of functional blocks may be combined into one functional block. Each functional processing unit is realized by a computer program (for example, core software or an app that causes the CPU to execute the above-described various processes) stored in a storage device (storage unit) such as a ROM (Read Only Memory), flash memory, SSD (Solid State Drive), or hard disk, which is read by a CPU (Central Processing Unit) built into a device or terminal and executed by the CPU. That is, each functional processing unit reads and writes necessary data such as tables from a database (DB; Data Base) stored in the storage device and a storage area in the memory by this computer program, and in some cases, controls related hardware (for example, input / output devices, display devices, communication interface devices). Also, the database (DB) in the embodiment of the present invention may be a commercial database, but also means a mere collection of tables or files, and the internal structure of the database itself is not limited.

[0065] (Processing flow) FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a pet rental space management processing flow executed by the pet rental space management system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The pet rental space management process shown in FIG. 8 is a process executed by the pet rental space management system 1 (management system 1), and is a process of determining the usage fee to be charged to a user (a user who uses the private room 110) who uses the pet rental space facility 100.

[0066] In step S1, the key management means 11 receives unlocking information from the individual room key means 112 corresponding to the used individual room 110 of the pet rental space facility 100. That is, this unlocking information indicates that the individual room key means 112 of the individual room 110 has been unlocked by the user in order to take out the pet P from the used individual room 110.

[0067] In step S2, the image information acquisition means 13 acquires the internal image information after use of the individual room 110 corresponding to the individual room key means 112 that transmitted the unlocking information.

[0068] In step S3, the analysis means 14 generates an analysis result, which is the result of analyzing the internal image information after use in step S2, as internal information.

[0069] In step S4, the analysis means 14 analyzes (determines) whether the area due to the stain D is included in the internal image information after use. If the analysis means 14 determines that the stain D is included, it generates an analysis result of uncleaned and stores the analysis result in the storage means 20. In this case, the management system 1 proceeds to step S5. On the other hand, if the analysis means 14 determines that the stain D is not included, it generates an analysis result of cleaned and stores the analysis result in the storage means 20. In this case, the management system 1 proceeds to step S6.

[0070] In step S5, the usage fee determination means 15 determines a pre - defined fee as an additional fee for the internal image information after use acquired by the image information acquisition means 13 in step S3 because the analysis means 14 determined it was uncleaned in step S4.

[0071] In step S6, the usage fee determination means 15 determines the usage fee for the pet rental space S to be billed to the user according to the internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room. Specifically, when the additional fee has not been determined in step S5 (when the analysis means 14 did not determine in step S4 that it was not cleaned), the usage fee determination means 15 determines the basic fee as the usage fee. On the other hand, when the additional fee has been determined in step S5 (when the analysis means 14 determined in step S4 that it was not cleaned), the usage fee determination means 15 determines the additional fee in addition to the basic fee as the usage fee.

[0072] According to such a pet rental space facility 100, the private room 110 forming the pet rental space S has a private room door 111 that can be locked or unlocked by the user who accommodates the pet P. Thereby, the user can unlock the private room door 111 of the private room 110 by himself / herself, accommodate the pet P in the pet rental space S formed by the private room 110, and lock or unlock the private room door 111. Therefore, it is not necessary to station the administrator of the pet rental space facility (the person who receives the pet from the user and accommodates it in the private room). Therefore, in the facility for boarding pets, the number of personnel for management can be reduced.

[0073] Also, according to the pet rental space management system 1 (management system 1), the usage fee for the pet rental space S to be billed to the user is determined according to the internal information indicating the usage status inside the private room 110. Thereby, it becomes possible to vary the usage fee according to the usage status inside the private room 110 (for example, it is possible to set a higher usage fee for a user who has used it inappropriately). Therefore, for example, even if no monitor is arranged in the pet rental space facility, appropriate use by the user can be expected. Therefore, in the facility for boarding pets, the number of personnel for management can be reduced.

[0074] In addition, according to the management system 1, the usage fee for the pet rental space S to be charged to the user is determined according to the analysis result which is the result of analyzing the internal image information. Thereby, it becomes possible to analyze the internal image information of the private room and vary the usage fee according to the analysis result (for example, it is possible to set a higher usage fee for a user who has used it inappropriately). Therefore, for example, even if no monitor is arranged in the pet rental space facility, appropriate use by the user can be expected. Therefore, in the facility for boarding pets, it is possible to reduce the number of personnel for management.

[0075] In addition, according to the management system 1, according to the analysis result of the internal image information after use, an additional fee separate from the basic fee is determined among the usage fees. Thereby, it becomes possible to charge an additional fee separate from the basic fee according to the analysis result of the internal image information after the use of the private room 110. For this reason, for example, it becomes possible to charge an additional fee separately from the basic fee to a user who has neglected to clean the private room 110 after use, so that the user can be urged to clean the private room 110 after use by himself / herself. Therefore, in the facility for boarding pets, it is possible to reduce the number of personnel for management.

[0076] As described above, the present invention has been described using the embodiments.
