Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a mobile pet grooming service provision system, and provides a system that enables pets to receive grooming at a desired location and on a desired date, based on a specialized grooming vehicle that complies with the Animal Protection Act. Background Technology

[0002] The animal grooming business is defined as a business that trims or hygienically manages the fur, skin, or claws of companion animals (Article 43, Paragraph 3 of the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act). Regarding the facility and personnel standards for registered businesses (Article 44 of the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act), in the case of an animal grooming business using a vehicle, water supply and sewage tanks of at least 100 liters each must be provided in accordance with Item 2, Subparagraph C of Annex 11 of the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act; lighting and ventilation devices must be installed; and electrical switches, leakage circuit breakers, fire extinguishing equipment, grooming workbenches, bathtubs, hot and cold water facilities, dryers, and disinfectors must be provided. Additionally, fixed-type video information processing devices, i.e., CCTVs, must be installed and managed in accordance with Annex 3 of the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act.

[0003] At this time, a method for providing bathing and grooming services to pets in a mobile manner was researched and developed. In this regard, prior art Korean Registered Patent No. 10-1888858 (published August 16, 2018) and Korean Published Patent No. 2022-0052063 (published April 27, 2022) respectively disclose a configuration for providing bathing services for the convenience of users who find it difficult to travel to an animal hospital or animal grooming salon with a large dog, comprising a bathtub for receiving hot or cold water, a boiler for heating cold water, a transfer device that heats cold water by receiving power from the boiler to supply hot water, and a controller for regulating the temperature of the boiler, as well as a configuration equipped with a bathtub, a grooming stand, a dryer, a counter, and a power supply device on a mobile trailer.

[0004] However, both the former and the latter are patents issued prior to the amendment of the aforementioned Enforcement Rules of the Animal Protection Act, and thus do not possess the facilities required by the Act. Above all, there is no consideration given to the configuration of the intermediary platform for individuals to book grooming appointments, nor to how to secure parking spaces in urban areas where no-parking zones exist. Furthermore, since groomers do not set the breed, age, gender, and price range of pets they can groom, users must individually inquire with the groomer to make reservations. Consequently, groomers face the inconvenience of having to handle customer inquiries during their designated work hours, requiring them to perform both administrative duties and customer service simultaneously. Therefore, research and development of a platform are required that complies with the Animal Protection Act, allows users to easily make reservations, and enables groomers to focus on their work. The problem to be solved

[0005] One embodiment of the present invention provides a mobile pet grooming service provision system that allows the user to determine whether the facility stipulated by the Animal Protection Act complies when registering a special grooming vehicle at a grooming terminal, registers the grooming area where grooming is possible, and registers the pet's species, age, gender, and weight at the grooming terminal, and when making a reservation at a user terminal, selects the pet's species, age, gender, and weight, and then selects the location and date, thereby enabling the user to determine whether their pet can be groomed and what the price is from the moment of reservation, and enabling the groomer to determine whether they are in a suitable area and for the pet's species, and by allowing the use of affiliated parking spaces if parking issues are not resolved, helps the user visit anywhere within the area. However, the technical problem that this embodiment aims to solve is not limited to the technical problem described above, and other technical problems may exist. means of solving the problem

[0006] As a technical means for achieving the aforementioned technical problem, one embodiment of the present invention includes a grooming service providing server comprising: a user terminal that inputs the species, weight, and age of a pet to be groomed, selects a location and date for grooming, and requests a mobile grooming service; a grooming terminal that receives and outputs a request for a mobile grooming service; a storage unit that receives and stores the species, weight, and age of a pet capable of grooming from the grooming terminal; a setting unit that sets a price corresponding to the species, weight, and age of the pet from the grooming terminal; a guidance unit that determines whether grooming is possible at the grooming terminal when the species, weight, and age of the pet are input from the user terminal, and if grooming is possible at the grooming terminal, provides a price; and a reservation unit that transmits to the grooming terminal when payment is made for the location and date for grooming selected from the user terminal. Effects of the invention

[0007] According to any one of the means for solving the problem of the present invention described above, when registering a special grooming vehicle at a grooming terminal, the registration is made by determining whether the facility stipulated in the Animal Protection Act is complied with, and the grooming terminal registers the grooming area where grooming is possible, as well as the species, age, gender, and weight of the pet, and when making a reservation at a user terminal, the pet's species, age, gender, and weight are selected, and then the location and date are selected. This allows the user to determine whether grooming of their pet is possible and what the price is from the moment of reservation, enables the groomer to determine whether they are in a suitable area and for the species, and helps the user visit anywhere within the area by allowing the use of affiliated parking spaces in case the parking problem is not resolved.

[0028] FIG. 2 is a block diagram for explaining a beauty service providing server included in the system of FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 are drawings for explaining an embodiment in which a mobile pet grooming service according to an embodiment of the present invention is implemented.

[0029] Referring to FIG. 2, the beauty service providing server (300) may include a storage unit (310), a setting unit (320), a guidance unit (330), a reservation unit (340), a facility standard verification unit (350), a location verification unit (360), a subscription management unit (370), a real-time streaming unit (380), an abuse prevention unit (390), and a parking rental unit (391).

[0030] When a beauty service providing server (300) or another server (not shown) operating in conjunction with a beauty service according to one embodiment of the present invention transmits a mobile pet beauty service application, program, app page, web page, etc. to at least one user terminal (100), at least one beauty terminal (400), and at least one parking terminal (500), the at least one user terminal (100), at least one beauty terminal (400), and at least one parking terminal (500) may install or open the mobile pet beauty service application, program, app page, web page, etc. Additionally, a service program may be operated on at least one user terminal (100), at least one beauty terminal (400), and at least one parking terminal (500) using a script executed in a web browser. Here, a web browser refers to a program that enables the use of web (WWW: World Wide Web) services and receives and displays hypertext described in HTML (Hyper Text Mark-up Language), and includes, for example, Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Safari, Firefox, Whale, UC Browser, etc. Additionally, an application refers to an application on a terminal, and includes, for example, an app running on a mobile terminal (smartphone).

[0031] Referring to FIG. 2, the storage unit (310) can receive and store the species, weight, and age of a pet that can be groomed from the grooming terminal (400). The species may be a species such as a cat or a dog, or among dogs, it may be a breed such as a Jindo dog, a Pungsan dog, or a Saint Bernard. Also, regarding age, the older the pet, the more chronic diseases it has, and if there are many chronic diseases, it often dies suddenly while bathing, so the groomer can specify the age of the pet that can be bathed and groomed.

[0032] The setting unit (320) sets a price corresponding to the breed, weight, and age of the pet from the grooming terminal (400). In most cases, the price may be set differently depending on how good or finicky the pet's breed is, how much hair or hair volume the breed has, and whether or not the hair is matted. Even for small dogs, the difficulty level is bound to increase when grooming breeds that are close to aggressive dogs in temperament, such as Malteses or Pomeranians. Also, when grooming a Saint Bernard, even if the temperament is good, if its body weight exceeds 50 kg or even 100 kg, the area where the clipper is used is larger depending on the size, so the clipper blade must be sharpened frequently or the blade wears out quickly, and a lot of water and time must be used, so the price is bound to increase. In addition, in the case of a Standard Poodle, which has a good temperament and a moderate build but has matted fur, grooming cannot be done with clippers. Since the grooming requires untangling the fur completely or cutting the matted hairs one by one with scissors, the difficulty level increases sharply, inevitably leading to a higher price. Accordingly, prices may be set based on breed, weight, age, etc. Of course, the factors used to set the price are not limited to those listed, nor are they excluded for reasons not listed.

[0033] The guidance unit (330) can determine whether grooming is possible at the grooming terminal (400) when the pet's breed, weight, and age are entered at the user terminal (100), and can provide a price if grooming is possible at the grooming terminal (400). The user terminal (100) can enter the pet's breed, weight, and age to be groomed. If there is only one groomer, it can identify and provide guidance on whether that groomer can groom the user's pet. If there are multiple groomers, it can extract the groomer who can groom the pet entered by the user and provide a price for the extracted groomer.

[0034] The reservation unit (340) can transmit to the beauty terminal (400) when the user terminal (100) selects a location and date for beauty treatment and pays an amount corresponding to the price. At this time, the date can be disabled so that a date with a full schedule is not selected, so that a date is selected when the beautician's schedule is free. After selecting the location and date for beauty treatment, the user terminal (100) can request a mobile beauty service. The beauty terminal (400) can receive and output the request for the mobile beauty service.

[0035] The facility standard verification unit (350), when a special grooming vehicle is registered at the grooming terminal (400), can determine whether the facility standard of the special grooming vehicle satisfies at least one pre-set facility standard, and then begin mediation of the special grooming vehicle by the grooming terminal (400). At this time, at least one facility standard may include standards for a water tank of 100 liters or more, a sewage tank, lighting facilities, ventilation facilities, an electric switch, grooming equipment disinfection equipment, and a grooming work table of a pre-set size. The Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act, newly established in 2021, is as shown in Table 1 below.

[0036] Facility and personnel standards for registered businesses pursuant to Annex 11 of Article 44 of the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act a) Vehicles used for animal grooming businesses shall be any of the following. In this case, the vehicle used for animal grooming businesses shall be deemed the business premises of the animal grooming business. (1) Passenger vehicles (limited to special types) or special vehicles (limited to special-purpose types) as specified in Annex 1 of the Enforcement Rule of the Automobile Management Act (2) A vehicle tuned for animal grooming business purposes in accordance with Article 34 of the Automobile Management Act b) The business premises must be structured to prevent wastewater from leaking to the outside, and the business premises must be equipped with the following facilities: (1) Install a water supply tank capable of storing and supplying water and a wastewater tank with a discharge valve, each with a size of at least 100 liters, and mark the volume on the surface of each tank. (2) Install lighting and ventilation devices. However, if ventilation is possible using the vehicle's ventilation devices, such as windows or roof windows (sunroofs), a separate ventilation device may not be installed. (3) If electricity is used, install an electric switch. (4) The vehicle shall be equipped with a leakage circuit breaker and fire extinguishing equipment in accordance with Article 57 of the “Rules on Performance and Standards of Automobiles and Automobile Parts”. (5) When installing or using parts, devices, or protective gear on a vehicle, ensure that they meet the performance and standards required for safe operation in accordance with Article 29, Paragraph 2 of the Automobile Management Act. c) Provide a beauty studio, and ensure that the studio is equipped with a beauty workbench and sufficient workspace. (d) The grooming workbench shall be equipped with a restraining device to prevent animals from falling, and the recommended size of the grooming workbench is as follows. (1) Grooming workbench for small and medium-sized dogs: Width 75cm × Length 45cm × Height 50cm or larger (2) Grooming workbench for large dogs: 100cm wide × 55cm deep or larger e) The grooming studio shall be equipped with a bathtub of sufficient size for bathing animals, water supply and drainage facilities, hot and cold water facilities, and a dryer. f) The beauty studio shall be equipped with equipment for sterilizing beauty tools, such as sterilizers and UV sterilizers. d) Install and manage fixed image information processing devices in accordance with Annex 3 of the Enforcement Decree.

[0037] The location verification unit (360) receives a grooming-available location or zone from the grooming terminal (400), and when a location is entered from the user terminal (100), it can determine whether to accept the reservation from the user terminal (100) after verifying whether it is a grooming-available location or zone. For example, if a user requests grooming in Seoul but the groomer has set the Busan zone, the user cannot groom. Of course, if the user requests it from the groomer and the groomer agrees to a corresponding price through mutual agreement, it may be possible even if the location is outside the zone; however, generally, the user can determine whether to accept the reservation by extracting groomers within the zone and verifying whether they are within the zone. Even in this case, the user may be allowed to request a reservation after extracting only groomers who meet all of the user's conditions. The subscription management unit (370) provides a subscription-type package for pet grooming, and when the user terminal (100) uses the subscription-type package, it can provide a pre-set number of grooming services during a pre-set period. For dogs that do not shed and have long hair, it is common to wash them about once every two weeks and groom them once every three months. Since this assumes that grooming is done at least four times a year, offering a subscription package is beneficial for the platform as it can secure a year's worth of customers in advance, and for the user as a customer as it can receive grooming at a lower price.

[0038] The real-time streaming unit (380) may grant access rights to view in real-time on the user terminal (100) the video received from the camera linked to the shop owner terminal after the user of the user terminal (100) has entrusted the grooming of their pet. Recently, as various abuse and assault incidents have been rampant in the dog grooming industry—such as using physical force like fists and feet, or using tools like clippers, leashes, or clubs to beat dogs to death from shock, or leaving them with bruises even if they do not die—for reasons such as the dog not obeying instructions or the groomer being stressed for no reason, the government established the Enforcement Rule of the Animal Protection Act in 2021 to make CCTV mandatory. However, although CCTV has been made mandatory, there are many cases where users request to view the CCTV footage only after a problem has occurred, so users who are guardians often send their pets to the groomer in worry, not knowing whether the groomer will hit their dog or not. Accordingly, the real-time streaming unit (380) can be configured to turn on the CCTV or camera so that the user terminal (100) can have access rights when the special beauty vehicle arrives at the user's location and the date and time match the reserved date and time.

[0039] The abuse prevention department (390) can send an alarm to the user terminal (100) if the human action recognized by the camera using a pre-set gesture recognition algorithm corresponds to an act of abuse or violence. At this time, the gesture recognition algorithm may be, for example, OpenPose, but is not limited thereto. The process of hitting a dog includes snatching the leash, pulling the hind leg, grabbing the whole body and twisting it, grabbing the neck and choking it, hitting the head or body with clippers held in hand, hitting the face directly with scissors held in hand, or swinging motions such as punching the dog's face with a fist. In addition, these hitting motions have the characteristic that the speed of the motion is faster than that of normal grooming motions. In a case that became an issue in 2022, a hair salon in Changwon, Gyeongnam, there was a case where over 1,000 cases of abuse were captured on CCTV within a month. As such, gestures such as snatching or hitting are fast because the speed of the gesture is proportional to acceleration (F=ma). The abuse prevention department (390) can ① extract features such as gestures (forms or shapes of movements) and speed from the video of such a person (hairdresser), and if there is a scene where such gestures and features are detected, immediately provide guidance to the user terminal (100), then create a clip containing such a scene and create a standard digital evidence pack, and then immediately report to 112 to provide evidence. To do this, the presence of abuse and violence can be predicted through an abuse and violence classification model that combines a pre-trained 2D CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) and LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory) model. Of course, in addition to the above-mentioned model, since detection must be done in real time, a single-stage based YOLO, etc., may also be used.

[0040] At this time, if the sound is also captured by the CCTV ②, the sound of the dog screaming can be recognized together, and this fact can be immediately notified to the user terminal (100). The sound data can be used to identify the characteristics of the sound a dog makes when being abused by using a Log Mel Spectrogram and an MFCC (Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficient). In addition, ③ it is possible to determine whether the dog is being abused by analyzing not only the groomer's behavior but also the pet's behavior, and by analyzing the pet's body language (coming signal) and crying sounds, it is possible to analyze whether the groomer is abusing or using violence. At this time, in order to analyze the coming signal, the body parts of the pet must be classified by region, such as the head, ears, forelegs, tail, and hindlegs, and by using a pre-trained machine learning algorithm based on each detected body region of the pet, it is possible to detect and classify the response when violence occurs, such as standing on two legs, sitting, backing away, lying down, lying prone, hiding in a corner, lowering the tail, hiding the face, and flattening the ears.

[0041] In the case of crying sounds, feature vectors are extracted using the aforementioned MFCC, and then the sounds can be classified into yelping, groaning, barking, purring, howling, etc., through an artificial neural network model. Here, MFCC is a technology that reflects the auditory system operating when humans recognize speech; first, it divides speech data into fixed time units. These divided speech units are called frames, and frequency information is obtained by applying the Discrete Fourier Transform to each frame. Then, the Mel Filter Bank is applied to the obtained frequency information to sample it into the frequency domain actually perceived by humans. Subsequently, the logarithm of the frequency values ​​to which the Mel Filter Bank was applied is called the Mel Spectrum, and the result of applying the Inverse Fourier Transform to the Mel Spectrum to transform it into the time domain is called MFCC. By distinguishing the crying sounds associated with violence in this way, the accuracy of distinguishing abuse or violence can be further enhanced by analyzing sound along with video.

[0042] The parking rental unit (391) receives a parking space from at least one parking terminal (500) of a parking lot, and if the location of the user terminal (100) is a pre-set no-parking zone, it searches for the shortest distance parking space based on the location set by the user terminal (100) and can request the rental of the parking space to the parking terminal (500). In the case of the old downtown area of ​​Seoul, there are many side streets, and on side streets, there are yellow dotted lines where parking is allowed for only 5 minutes, as well as white solid lines where parking is generally allowed. Also, yellow solid lines allow for flexible parking depending on the situation, and yellow double solid lines indicate an absolute no-parking zone. At this time, regarding what parking markings are displayed on each road, the lines displayed can be identified using deep learning via Road View and then displayed on a map. If the government provides this information along with GIS information, public data may also be used.

[0043] In this way, the location desired by the user is first identified as a specific area, and if the location and date or time desired by the user fall under a parking prohibition date and time, a parking space is searched based on the location set by the user, and the date and time to rent the searched parking space are provided to the registered parking terminal (500), thereby allowing a rental request to be made. The settlement for the rented parking space can be performed at a pre-set interval, for example, once a month.
