This allows individuals to customize the content of their wishes on the charm to suit their individual needs. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2009-273649 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, these methods have the problem that the content of the desires remains a personal wish or hope, and it is difficult to convey the desires to a third party. This means that desires that could be fulfilled with the intervention of a third party, such as the desire for a relationship, are difficult to share.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a portable intention-expressing mascot that can be carried around to convey one's wishes to a third party and create new forms of communication. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the portable intention expression mascot of the present invention has an attachment part that can be attached to a personal item and a mascot part, and the mascot part is configured so that the user can write their wishes on its surface using a writing instrument, and by indicating the user's wishes through a combination of color and writing position, it is possible to communicate the wishes to third parties.

[0007] The above-mentioned portable intention expression mascot is preferably characterized in that the user's wishes can be communicated to third parties by combining a mark having a predetermined shape with the color and position when writing the mark.

[0008] In the above portable intention expression mascot, the mascot part preferably comprises at least a torso part, a body part including hands and feet attached to the torso part, and a head part attached to the body part. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] The portable intention expression mascot of the present invention has an attachment part that can be attached to belongings, and a mascot part, and the user can write their wishes on the surface of the mascot part with a writing implement, and by indicating the content of the wish by a combination of color and writing position, by attaching the portable intention expression mascot to belongings and carrying it, the user can convey their wishes to a third party who sees it. This can give rise to new forms of communication. Also, by expressing wishes with a combination of color and position in this way, wishes can be distinguished by color and position, so it is possible to convey a single mascot You can list multiple wishes in the Scot section.

[0010] In the portable intention expression mascot, it is preferable that the user's wish be expressed by a combination of a mark having a predetermined shape and the color and position when writing the mark. In this way, when the portable intention expression mascot is attached to an item and carried, the number of elements for expressing the wish increases, allowing the wish to be expressed in more detail. Furthermore, by using a mark, the area for displaying the wish content can be reduced, making it possible to write multiple wishes.

[0011] In the portable intention expression mascot, it is preferable that the mascot part has at least a body part including a trunk part, hands and feet attached to the trunk part, and a head part attached to the body part. This makes it possible to express the user's wishes more intuitively. Furthermore, by configuring the mascot with body parts corresponding to the positions in the combination of colors and positions when conveying wishes, the content and variety of wishes that can be conveyed can be increased.

[0013] (First embodiment) A first embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to Figures 1 to 4. Figure 1 shows a schematic front view of a portable strap ST1, which serves as an example of a portable intention expression mascot according to the embodiment and can be attached to a user's belongings such as a bag or a mobile phone.

[0014] The mobile strap ST1 consists of a strap part 1 as an attachment part and a mascot part 2. The portable intention expression mascot ST1 is an example of a portable strap with a three-dimensional shape in which the mascot part 2 is a human figure.

[0015] The strap unit 1 is composed of a strap string 11 that the user can attach to their belongings or a bag, and a fastener 12 for attaching the strap string 11 to the mascot unit 2. A tag 13 is wrapped around the strap string 11, and the surface of the tag 13 has a rule explanation section 13a in which a matrix-type two-dimensional code such as a QR code (registered trademark) is written. By reading the matrix-type two-dimensional code in the rule explanation section 13a with a mobile phone or the like, the user can refer to the rules for writing their wishes into the portable intention-expressing mascot ST1. In addition to the matrix-type two-dimensional code, the rule explanation section 13a may also contain an internet URL, or the rules may be written directly in the rule explanation section 13a.

[0016] Next, the mascot part 2 will be described using Figures 2 to 4. Figure 2 shows a front view of the mascot part 2, Figure 3 shows a side view of the mascot part 2, and Figure 4 shows a rear view of the mascot part 2. The mascot part 2 has a head part 21, a body part 22, hands 23, and feet 24. The head part 21 has body parts including a face part 21a, eyes 21b, ears 21c, and a mouth 21d, while the body part 22 has body parts including an abdomen 22a. The hands 23 and feet 24 are attached to the body part 22. In Figure 2, the mascot part 2 is preferably shaped three-dimensionally, including its body parts, but may also be drawn. The surface of the mascot part 2 is configured so that the user can freely write with a writing implement, and they can write their wishes using a writing implement suitable for the material of the mascot part 2. For example, if the mascot part 2 is made of resin, they can write with an oil-based pen or the like. The surface of the mascot part 2 is configured so that no coloring other than the base color is used, making it easier to distinguish the color when writing wishes. Users can also freely decorate the mascot part 2 by drawing or coloring hair, eyes, mouth, clothes, etc., allowing them to create an original mascot part 2. Users refer to the rules in the rule explanation section 13a of the tag 13 and write their wishes in the mascot part 2 according to those rules. Note that the dashed lines in the figure indicate the approximate area of the mascot part 2 indicated by the leading lines, and are not actually written on the mascot part 2.

[0017] In this way, the user can carry the portable intention expression mascot ST1 by writing their wish on the mascot part 2 and attaching it to a personal item using the strap string 11. In Fig. 2, it is assumed that the height of the mascot part 2 is about 30 mm, the length of the strap string 11 is about 100 mm when unlooped and stretched straight, and the length of the tag 13 is about 20 to 30 mm, but these are not limiting as long as the size is small enough to allow for easy portability.

[0018] Next, a method for expressing a wish by a combination of color and position when writing the wish and showing the wish of the user to a third party will be described.

[0019] The seller of the portable intention-expressing mascot determines rules in advance so that wishes can be expressed by a combination of color and position, as follows: Figures 5 to 8 show an example of rules for expressing wishes using a round symbol 3 on the mascot part 2 of the portable intention-expressing mascot ST1.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 5, the mascot part 2 has cheeks 21g as a body part. Drawing the symbol 3 on the cheeks 21g using pink color means "looking for a lover." Also, drawing the symbol 3 on the cheeks 21g using blue color means "looking for friends." Also, as shown in FIG. 6, the mascot part 2 has abdomen 22a as a body part. It has been determined that drawing the symbol 3 on the abdomen 22a in yellow means "achieving fertility."

[0021] As shown in FIG. 7, drawing the symbol 3 in green on the surface of the mascot 2 corresponding to the body part where the user is experiencing pain or illness signifies "pain relief / recovery from illness." FIG. 7 shows an example of a case where the user wishes for pain relief in the foot, with the symbol 3 drawn on the foot 24 of the mascot 2. As shown in FIG. 8, drawing the symbol 3 in orange on the surface of the mascot 2 corresponding to the body part where the user wishes to improve is defined as "improvement in the ability of the part where the symbol 3 is drawn." FIG. 8 shows an example of a case where the user wishes for "improvement in academic performance," with the symbol 3 drawn on the head 21 of the mascot 2. FIG. 8 also shows an example of a case where the symbol 3 is drawn on the foot 24 of the mascot 2, with the symbol 3 drawn on the foot 24 of the mascot 2, signifying the desire to "become faster."

[0022] By defining rules in this way, the user's wishes can be expressed by a combination of color and position. Furthermore, the user's wishes can be shown to third parties who know the rules. Third parties can get an overview of the wish from the color drawn on the mascot part 2, and can intuitively know the details of the wish from the location drawn. This provides an opportunity or trigger for communication with third parties who want to make the wish come true. Note that the rules are merely examples and are not limited to those shown here.

[0023] When expressing a desire, it is possible to use several symbols as symbol 3 to represent the type of desire. For example, if it is decided that a heart symbol is used to represent "looking for someone," then in FIG. 3, a heart symbol can be used in place of a circle symbol, and symbol 3 can be drawn in pink on cheek 21g to represent "looking for a lover." Alternatively, a blue heart symbol can be drawn on one cheek to represent "looking for friends." Furthermore, in FIG. 6, an arrow symbol can be used in place of a circle symbol to represent "improving abilities." In this way, using several symbols makes it possible to express the user's desire more intuitively. In this case, it is advisable to select symbols that are intuitively easy to understand for third parties.

[0024] It is also possible to use initials as the symbol 3. For example, in Fig. 5, the initials of a particular person may be drawn on the cheek 21g to signify the fulfillment of love with that person.

[0025] In this way, the user's wishes can be expressed according to predetermined rules and can be shown to third parties.

[0026] (Second embodiment) A second embodiment will be described as a modification of the first embodiment. The portable intention expression mascot ST2 is composed of a strap part 1 as an attachment part and a mascot part 2. Everything except the mascot part 2 in the second embodiment is the same as in the first embodiment, and redundant explanations will be omitted.

[0027] 9 to 12 show the mascot part 2 of the portable intention expression mascot ST2 according to the second embodiment, with FIG. 9 being a front view, FIG. 10 being a right side view, FIG. 11 being a left side view, and FIG. 12 being a rear view.

[0028] In the portable intention expression mascot ST2, the mascot part 2 has a head 21, a body 22, hands 23, and feet 24. The head 21 has body parts such as a face 21a, eyes 21b, ears 21c, a mouth 21d, a nose 21e, eyebrows 21f, cheeks 21g, and hair 21h. The body 22 also has hands 23, feet 24, and clothing 25. The doll has shoulders 22b, a waist 22c, a buttocks 22d, a back 22e, a neck 22f, fingers 23a, and toes 24a as body parts, which are shaped three-dimensionally. Increasing the number of body parts in this way allows for more desires to be expressed.

[0029] The surface of the mascot part 2 is colored only with the base color, and these body parts are formed three-dimensionally. Although the mascot part 2 is shown in a sitting position, it is not limited to this and can be configured in various positions. Furthermore, the body parts are not limited to those described here.

[0030] As in the first embodiment, the portable intention-expressing mascot ST2 refers to the rules from the rule explanation section 13a in the tag 13 and writes the user's wish in the mascot section 2 according to the rules. In this way, the portable intention-expressing mascot ST2 can indicate the user's wish and convey that wish to a third party. This can provide an opportunity or trigger for new communication with a third party.

[0031] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. Although the mascot part 2 has a humanoid shape in the above example, the mascot part 2 is not limited to a humanoid shape. It may be an anthropomorphized animal or object. Furthermore, although the mascot part 2 has a three-dimensional shape in the above example, it may also be a two-dimensional shape.

[0032] In the above embodiment, a portable strap that can be attached to a bag or a mobile phone is shown as the portable intention expression mascot, but the present invention is not limited to this. It may also be a key holder or the like.

[0033] The mascot unit 2 of the present invention may be configured so that the mascot can be used as one's own avatar in the metaverse space, which is a virtual space on the Internet. [Explanation of symbols]
