Companion aptitude test method and companion animal matching system using the method

Abstract

Statistics show that approximately 42.1% of pet owners, including novice owners, experience the urge to abandon their pets due to a lack of information. Furthermore, a lack of understanding regarding pets is leading to low satisfaction while living with them, and as the pet owner population grows, dissatisfaction is emerging as a social issue. To solve these problems, the present invention provides a method for testing a pet owner's aptitude as follows: a user terminal; a pet matching server system connected to the user terminal via communication; a user pet aptitude test DB displayed on the user terminal screen when the user connects to the pet matching server system through the user terminal, for conducting an aptitude test regarding the user's understanding of pets, the user's rearing environment, and the user's occupation; a pet matching DB provided in the pet matching system, which stores all possible information about the pet, such as food intake, daily routine time, tendency for needing outdoor activities and minimum utilization time when necessary, physiological environment, and shedding cycle, in order to recommend a pet in response to the results of testing the user's aptitude using the user pet aptitude test DB; a step of the user logging into the pet matching server system through the user terminal; a step of registering as a member if necessary for the login; a suitability aptitude test step of conducting the user's pet suitability aptitude test after the login; and a step of querying the contents of the user pet aptitude test DB sequentially or randomly for the pet suitability aptitude test. The present invention provides a method for testing the suitability of a pet owner, characterized in that the above-mentioned pet suitability aptitude test necessarily includes factors such as the user's activity time, economic conditions, spatial requirements for raising the pet, and whether other family members consent. This invention has the effect of increasing the satisfaction of pet owners and reducing the occurrence of abandoned animals by allowing novice pet owners to objectively check whether they have a living environment and economic activities suitable for living with a pet when selecting a pet, and by recommending a pet that is most suitable for their lifestyle patterns, thereby preventing them from adopting a pet due to impulsive emotions.

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a system for matching a pet suitable for the living environment and personality of a pet owner. More specifically, in order to reduce the occurrence of abandoned dogs resulting from incompatibility between the owner and the pet, the invention relates to a technology that identifies the owner's standard of living, housing type, work type, activity level (active or inactive), and knowledge about pets through a questionnaire, and based on this, recommends and matches a pet that satisfies the owner. Background Technology

[0002] Prior art prior to the filing of the present invention discloses a system and method for testing aptitude for individual stock investment using the WPE method. This technology discloses a method that utilizes the Weighted Point Evaluation (WPE) method, which assigns different weights to each factor depending on various stock market conditions, to analyze and provide aptitudes suitable for individual investors in the stock market. This is achieved by quantifying and providing scores based on the user's personal characteristics through aptitude tests covering a total of six tendencies, including decisiveness, patience, foresight, flexibility, emotional stability, and prudence.

[0003] Another prior art discloses a method and system for aptitude testing using personal information. This technology includes an operator computer (server) that analyzes input information and outputs an initial screen when a user accesses an operator's server via a PC or mobile terminal to input personal information, and outputs the individual's aptitude test results based on the user's personal information input and input signals for preferred colors, non-preferred colors, and preferred shapes. The operator computer (server) includes a communication terminal that controls wired and wireless communication with the user terminal and controls security, a central control unit that provides an interface screen and processes the user's input signals based on input signals from the user terminal, and an aptitude test program module that processes an aptitude test under the control of the central control unit based on an aptitude test request signal from the user terminal.

Brief explanation of the drawing

[0023] Figure 1 is a screen of the user pet aptitude test terminal of the present invention. Figure 2 is a configuration diagram of the user terminal and server of the present invention. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the pet matching DB of the present invention. Specific details for implementing the invention

[0024] The effects of the present invention are explained using the drawings as follows.

[0025] The present invention aims to provide necessary information to users who vaguely wish to raise a pet without any preparation, users who are already pet owners, or novice pet owners who are just about to become pet owners. By providing such information, the purpose is to prevent the abandonment of animals and to increase user satisfaction as a pet owner.

[0026] FIG. 1 is a screen of a user pet aptitude test terminal according to the present invention. It is a pet aptitude test screen designed to determine whether the user has the environmental and economic conditions to raise a pet, and if so, whether a pet suitable for the user's occupation and behavioral tendencies can be matched, by receiving comprehensive input from the user regarding what they currently know and do not know when selecting a pet, such as the size of the living space with the pet, the presence or absence of other family members, the user's economic situation, and work type. Although the questions may change, the purpose is to collect accurate answers from the user by repeating the same question with different text at least twice. It is important to collect accurate user opinions that do not change depending on mood or situation by asking the question at least twice with an interval of at least one day.

[0027] The present invention provides a pet owner aptitude test method characterized by the fact that the questions must include elements such as the user's activity time, economic conditions, spatial requirements for raising a pet, and whether other family members consent.

[0028] Aptitude test questions are not limited to merely collecting user information; they are designed to also explain to the user the issues that arise when raising a pet.

[0029] It is not the question "How much is your income?",

[0030] It consists of questions that provide the user with information necessary for living with a pet, such as, "To raise a pet, you need 100,000 won per month for food and 100,000 won for veterinary bills, shampoo, soap, and other supplies. Is it not financially burdensome to spend these costs?"

[0031] FIG. 2 is a configuration diagram of a user terminal and a server of the present invention. The user connects to the service provider's server via a communication network using a terminal such as a smartphone or PC, and the service is provided in a form in which the service provider exchanges information with the user through a dedicated app, homepage, and web service. In some cases, offline stores and educational services may be added for offline education and sales.

[0032] Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the pet matching DB of the present invention. Pets include many dog ​​breeds, but they may also be other animals such as cats. The purpose of this DB is to reduce the possibility of abandonment by recording similar content for similar species, such as body size, fur length, whether grooming is needed, and shampooing frequency, and by adding individual characteristics for pets that require matching with a pet owner.

[0033] Although the diagram only illustrates the pet matching database, it is obvious that various services can be provided to users by additionally equipping databases such as those for pets by life cycle, necessary supplies, customized education for each life cycle, and abnormal behavior education.

[0034] In particular, the pet behavior abnormality education database is equipped with video and photo materials capable of distinguishing abnormal behaviors as well as video materials for correcting them; it may include a database of correction supplies necessary for correcting abnormal behavior or be established as a separate database, and educational services can also be provided through services such as offline reservations.
