Description

A donation system and method to replace wreaths

[0001] The present invention relates to a donation system and method for replacing wreaths, and specifically, to a donation system and method for replacing wreaths that are sent to the organizers of celebratory or condolence events (weddings, funerals, etc.) and can be converted into donations.

[0002] Furthermore, the present invention relates to a wreath replacement donation system and a method thereof, which can perform certification of greenhouse gas reduction amounts that may be generated by physical wreaths, issuance of carbon credits, and trading of carbon credits by replacing physical wreaths with a donation system.

[0003] Wreaths have traditionally been used as a symbol of celebration or mourning at various events, such as weddings, funerals, and business openings. Wreaths carry symbolic meaning in themselves, and particularly in East Asian cultures, they have been regarded as an important means of expressing social relationships or conveying feelings of respect and mourning. However, in recent years, several issues regarding the use of wreaths have been raised.

[0004] First, environmental issues regarding traditional floral wreaths are coming to the forefront. Wreaths are often used only once and then discarded, generating waste. In particular, wreaths composed of plastic materials or artificial decorations do not decompose and can have a negative impact on the environment. Furthermore, even when fresh flowers harvested from nature are used, they are criticized for being incompatible with sustainable consumption culture because they are difficult to store for long periods and wilt quickly before being discarded.

[0005] Furthermore, regarding traditional floral wreaths, the issue of economic waste is also being addressed significantly. Many people spend a considerable amount of money to purchase wreaths, but in most cases, they are discarded immediately after the event. Particularly when a large number of wreaths are mobilized for events such as funerals or weddings, the cost can become a heavy burden for both the event organizers and the senders. Nevertheless, many feel pressured to send wreaths due to social customs or a sense of obligation.

[0006] Furthermore, regarding conventional floral wreaths, there is a problem in that they lack practical benefit to the recipients. Even if numerous wreaths are received at funerals or business openings, they rarely provide tangible value to the beneficiaries. Particularly at weddings and funerals, the entry of wreaths into venues may be restricted or many may be immediately discarded due to space limitations, management difficulties, or incompatibility with the interior decor. As a result, inefficient outcomes may arise, contrary to the intentions of the senders.

[0007] Prior art literature (Korean Published Patent No. 10-2022-0045427) discloses a method and system for managing celebratory / condolence events and contributions, in which a condolence donor can provide a donated wreath.

[0008] The organizer of a celebratory or condolence event may intend to use at least a portion of the cost of the donated wreaths to cover the event's expenses. However, according to this prior art, the entire cost of the donated wreaths is remitted to the donation organization (the recipient of the donation) regardless of the organizer's intention, resulting in a problem where there is insufficient substantial assistance to the recipient of the wreaths (i.e., the organizer of the event).

[0009] Furthermore, in the case of prior art literature, there is no procedure for guests intending to provide a donation wreath to verify the accuracy of the organizer of the event, which poses a problem where the remittance of the donation wreath may be made due to an error.

[0010] In addition, in the case of prior art literature, there is a problem in that guests who have decided to provide a donation wreath cannot cancel or modify the decision after selecting whether to proceed with the wreath and the amount.

[0011] Furthermore, conventional congratulatory and condolence management systems do not consider measures to measure the greenhouse gas emission reduction effect resulting from replacing floral wreaths with digital alternatives, or to certify this and utilize it as carbon credits.

[0012] The present invention aims to solve the aforementioned problem by providing a wreath-substituting donation system and a method thereof, wherein a certain percentage of the cost of the donated wreath can be delivered to the organizer of the celebratory or condolence event according to the organizer's will.

[0013] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a wreath substitute donation system and method that can prevent the remittance of a donation wreath due to error by enabling a guest who intends to provide a donation wreath to more clearly identify the host of the celebratory or condolence event.

[0014] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a donation system and method for replacing a wreath, which allows a guest who has decided to provide a donation wreath to cancel the proceeding of the wreath or modify the amount of the wreath according to the guest's circumstances after selecting whether to proceed with the wreath and the amount.

[0015] In addition, the present invention aims to provide a donation system and method for replacing wreaths that can create additional environmental value by calculating the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduced through the use of digital wreaths and enabling certification of the amount of greenhouse gas emissions reduced and the issuance of carbon credits.

[0016] The present invention, for achieving the aforementioned objectives, provides a donation system for replacing a wreath, comprising: a main server in which at least one of information on a celebratory event and information on a digital wreath for donation is stored; a first terminal for transmitting the information on the celebratory event and the information on the digital wreath for donation to the main server; and one or more second terminals capable of receiving information on the celebratory event from the first terminal or the main server and selecting the provision of a digital wreath for donation, wherein the information on the celebratory event includes information on the schedule of the celebratory event and information on the organizer of the celebratory event, and the information on the digital wreath for donation includes information on donation through the digital wreath for donation, and wherein, through the second terminal, the matched information on the schedule of the celebratory event and the organizer of the celebratory event can be verified before the provision of the digital wreath for donation is selected.

[0017] Therefore, by enabling guests who wish to provide a donation wreath (i.e., a digital wreath for donation) to more clearly identify the organizer of the event, it is possible to prevent the transfer of the donation wreath due to error.

[0018] In addition, through the first terminal, a donation ratio for an amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation can be selected, and the selected donation ratio can be transmitted to the main server.

[0019] Therefore, while encouraging guests to make donations, the economic burden on the organizers can be reduced by ensuring that a certain percentage of the cost of the donated wreaths is delivered to them according to their wishes.

[0020] In addition, by the main server, based on the selected donation ratio, a portion of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation may be transferred to a pre-set donation organization, and the remainder may be transferred to the organizer of the celebratory event.

[0021] Therefore, through digital wreaths for donation, one can make a donation while also alleviating the financial burden on the organizers of celebratory or condolence events.

[0022] In addition, the present invention further includes a display unit deployed at the site of the celebratory event and communicating with the main server, wherein information regarding a message concerning the person at the celebratory event is transmitted to the main server through the second terminal, and at least one of information regarding the person at the celebratory event, a photo related to the person at the celebratory event, information regarding a donor through a digital wreath, and a message from the donor to the person at the celebratory event may be displayed on the display unit. Furthermore, a message regarding the person at the celebratory event input through the second terminal may be further displayed in real time on the display unit.

[0023] Therefore, it is possible to resolve the problems of environmental pollution and cost loss caused by conventional floral wreaths, while simultaneously inducing donations by providers of digital wreaths for donation. In addition, the owner of the second terminal (i.e., a guest) who checks the display unit at the venue of the celebratory or condolence event can connect to the main server through the second terminal and display a message regarding the organizer of the event on the display unit in real time.

[0024] In addition, after the provision of the digital wreath is selected through the second terminal, a notification regarding the provision of the digital wreath for donation that was pre-selected and guidance related to modification are sent from the main server to the second terminal, and it is possible to check and modify the information regarding the provision of the digital wreath for donation that was pre-selected through the second terminal.

[0025] Therefore, after a guest who has decided to provide a donation wreath selects whether to proceed with the wreath and the amount, the guest may be allowed to cancel the proceeding of the donation wreath or modify the amount due to circumstances resulting from incorrect information entry or the guest's personal circumstances.

[0026] In addition, the present invention provides a donation method for replacing a wreath, comprising the steps of: inputting information on a celebratory event and information on a digital wreath for donation into a first terminal and transmitting it to a main server; transmitting a guide containing connection information to the main server to one or more second terminals by the first terminal or the main server; and selecting the provision of the digital wreath for donation by one or more second terminals connected to the main server, wherein, prior to the selection of the provision of the digital wreath for donation, the schedule of the celebratory event and the matched information of the organizer of the celebratory event can be verified by the second terminal.

[0027] At this time, the information of the digital wreath for donation input by the first terminal may include a donation ratio for an amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation.

[0028] In addition, by the main server, based on the donation ratio, a portion of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation may be transferred to a pre-set donation organization, and the remainder may be transferred to the organizer of the celebratory event.

[0029] The main server described above may be configured to communicate with the server of the carbon credit certification agency. Additionally, information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation selected through a plurality of second terminals may be transmitted from the main server to the server of the carbon credit certification agency.

[0030] In addition, the main server may be configured to receive the carbon credit certification results performed by the carbon credit certification authority.

[0031] In addition, it is desirable that information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation be transmitted from the main server to the server of the carbon credit certification agency at the time when the celebratory event has ended or after a certain period has elapsed since the event ended.

[0032] Therefore, providers of donation systems that serve as alternatives to wreaths can freely trade carbon credit certificates received from carbon credit certification authorities through pre-established exchanges.

[0033] For example, carbon credits and / or certificates can be registered on a trading platform through the main server above, and carbon credits and / or certificates can be traded on the trading platform.

[0034] A donation method for replacing a wreath according to the present invention may further include the step of transmitting information regarding a message concerning the person in charge of a celebratory or condolence event to the main server through the second terminal; and the step of displaying at least one of information regarding the person in charge of the celebratory or condolence event, a photograph related to the person in charge of the celebratory or condolence event, information regarding a donor through a digital wreath, and a message from the donor to the person in charge of the celebratory or condolence event on a display unit placed at the site of the celebratory or condolence event. Additionally, a message regarding the person in charge of the celebratory or condolence event input through the second terminal may be further displayed in real time on the display unit.

[0035] In addition, the donation method for replacing a wreath according to the present invention may further include the step of sending a notification and guidance regarding the provision of the digital wreath for donation, which was pre-selected, from the main server to the second terminal after the provision of the digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal; and the step of confirming and modifying information regarding the provision of the digital wreath for donation, which was pre-selected, through the second terminal.

[0036] In addition, the donation method for replacing a wreath according to the present invention may further include a carbon credit certification step in which information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation is transmitted from the main server to the server of a carbon credit certification agency.

[0037] In the carbon credit certification step described above, the main server may receive the carbon credit certification result performed by the carbon credit certification authority. The provider of the main server may freely trade the certification result (e.g., carbon credit and / or certificate) through a pre-established exchange.

[0038] It is preferable that the carbon credit certification step described above be performed at the time the celebratory event has concluded or after a certain period has elapsed following its conclusion. This is because the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be changed or modified before or during the event.

[0039] According to the present invention, a donation system and method for replacing wreaths can be provided, wherein a certain percentage of the cost of the donated wreaths can be delivered to the organizer of the celebratory or condolence event according to the organizer's will.

[0040] In addition, according to the present invention, a donation system and method for replacing wreaths can be provided, which allows a guest who intends to provide a donation wreath to more clearly identify the host of the celebratory or condolence event, thereby preventing the transfer of a donation wreath due to error.

[0041] In addition, according to the present invention, a donation system and method for replacing a wreath can be provided, which allows a guest who has decided to provide a donation wreath to cancel the proceeding of the donation wreath or modify the amount of the donation wreath depending on the guest's circumstances after selecting whether to proceed with the donation wreath and the amount.

[0042] In addition, according to the present invention, a wreath replacement donation system and method capable of securing carbon credits based on the number of digital wreaths for donation converted from conventional wreaths can be provided.

[0043] Furthermore, according to the present invention, by replacing physical wreaths with digital wreaths, greenhouse gas emissions that may be generated by physical wreaths can be reduced. Additionally, by calculating the amount of greenhouse gas emission reduction and certifying and / or trading it, additional environmental and economic value can be created.

[0050]

[0051] FIG. 1 is a diagram schematically showing the configuration of a wreath replacement donation system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 1, a donation system for replacing a wreath according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a main server (50), a first terminal (100) capable of communicating with the main server (50), and one or more second terminals (200) capable of communicating with the main server (50) and the first terminal (100).

[0053] The main server (50) above may be a server of a service provider that provides services to the organizer of the celebratory event. The first terminal (100) above may be configured to receive information input by the organizer of the celebratory event. For example, the first terminal (100) above may be configured as a device capable of receiving information and communicating, such as a laptop, desktop, and smartphone. The second terminal (200) above may be configured to receive information input by the provider of the digital wreath for donation (i.e., a guest attending the celebratory event). For example, the second terminal (200) above may be configured as a device capable of receiving information and communicating, such as a laptop, desktop, and smartphone.

[0054] That is, the main server (50), the first terminal (100), and the second terminal (200) may all be equipped with communication modules and can communicate with each other via wired or wireless means. At this time, communication between them may be carried out through a pre-established commercial or general-purpose communication network.

[0055] The organizer of the celebratory event can access the main server (50), which is the service provider's server, through the first terminal (100). Accessing the main server (50) is a concept that includes accessing the service provider's homepage provided by the service provider.

[0056] The organizer of the celebratory event can input information regarding the celebratory event, information regarding digital wreaths for donation, etc., while connected to the main server (50) through the first terminal (100). The information regarding the celebratory event, information regarding digital wreaths for donation, etc., input by the first terminal (100) can be stored in the main server (50).

[0057] A mobile notice may be sent to the second terminal (200) of the provider of the digital wreath for donation through one of the first terminal (100) and the main server (50). The mobile notice may include an address that can access the main server (50).

[0058] The provider of the digital wreath for donation can select the digital wreath for donation through the second terminal (200) and pay (settle) a preset cost based on the selected content. In this case, at least a portion of the paid amount may be transferred to a donation organization (or donation foundation) selected by the organizer of the celebratory event.

[0059] Hereinafter, a donation system for replacing wreaths according to the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to other drawings.

[0060]

[0061] FIG. 2 is a drawing showing a donation system for replacing wreaths according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] Referring to FIG. 2, the main server (50) may include a communication module (51). The main server (50) can communicate with the aforementioned first terminal (100) and second terminal (200) through the communication module (51).

[0063] Information regarding celebratory and condolence events may be stored in the main server (50). For example, the main server (50) may include a database of information regarding celebratory and condolence events (53). That is, the information regarding celebratory and condolence events may be stored in the database of information regarding celebratory and condolence events (53). Here, celebratory and condolence events may include all events where wreaths may be provided by guests, such as weddings, funerals, 70th birthday parties, and first birthday parties.

[0064] The above information on congratulatory and condolence events may include the schedule of the event and information on the organizers. The information on the organizers may include the names of the parties involved in the event and their immediate family members.

[0065] Information regarding digital wreaths for donation may be further stored in the main server (50). For example, the main server (50) may include a digital wreath information DB (55). That is, the information regarding digital wreaths for donation may be stored in the digital wreath information DB (55).

[0066] The information of the digital wreath for donation may include information regarding donation through the digital wreath for donation. Specifically, the information of the digital wreath for donation may include information regarding the use of the digital wreath for donation service entered through the first terminal (100), information regarding the donation ratio for the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation (i.e., information regarding the donation ratio for the income earned through the digital wreath for donation), and information about the donation organization.

[0067] Here, the amount of the digital wreath for donation may be determined based on the number of selected digital wreaths (number of purchased). For example, the amount per digital wreath for donation or per unit may be predetermined. Additionally, the donation ratio may be the ratio of the amount belonging to the organizer of the celebratory event to the amount belonging to the donation organization within the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation. In other words, the donation ratio may be the ratio of the amount remitted to the organizer of the celebratory event to the amount remitted to the donation organization within the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation.

[0068] Additionally, the information of the digital wreath for donation may include information of the donation organization to which the donation is made through the digital wreath for donation. That is, the organizer of the celebratory event may select one or more donation organizations to which they wish to make a donation through the digital wreath for donation via the first terminal (100), based on the information of multiple donation organizations stored in the main server (50).

[0069] In addition, the information of the digital wreath for donation may further include selection information for the digital wreath for donation by the provider of the digital wreath for donation. At this time, the provider of the digital wreath for donation may select the number of digital wreaths for donation, and the amount of the digital wreath for donation may be determined based on the selected number.

[0070] The main server (50) may further store message information sent by the provider of the digital wreath for donation to the person in charge of the celebratory or condolence event. For example, the main server (50) may further include a message information DB (57). The message information may include congratulatory messages and messages of comfort.

[0071] The main server (50) above may further include a control unit not shown. Through the control unit, the amount of the digital wreath for donation corresponding to the number of digital wreaths for donation can be calculated. In addition, the amount to be remitted to the organizer of the celebratory event and the donation organization according to the donation ratio to be described below can be calculated by the control unit. In addition, the remittance to the organizer of the celebratory event and the donation organization according to the donation ratio to be described below can be performed by the control unit.

[0072] The first terminal (100) can be a terminal of the organizer of the celebratory event. Through the first terminal (100), the information regarding the celebratory event and the information regarding the digital wreath for donation can be transmitted to the main server (50). For example, the organizer of the celebratory event can access the main server (50) through the first terminal (100) which is capable of communicating with the main server (50), and while connected to the main server (50), can input the information regarding the celebratory event and the information regarding the digital wreath for donation through the first terminal (100) and transmit it to the main server (50).

[0073] At this time, the organizer of the celebratory event may input information regarding the use of the digital wreath service for donation (i.e., information stating that they intend to use the digital wreath service for donation) and information regarding the donation ratio corresponding to the amount of the digital wreath for donation through the first terminal (100). The information regarding the use of the digital wreath service for donation and the information regarding the donation ratio corresponding to the amount of the digital wreath for donation, which are input through the first terminal (100), may be transmitted to the main server (50).

[0074] By the main server (50) above, based on the selected donation ratio, a portion of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation is transferred to a pre-set donation organization, and the remainder can be transferred to the organizer of the celebratory event.

[0075] For example, if the donation ratio entered through the first terminal (100) is '5 (organizer of the event) : 5 (donation organization)', 50% of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation belongs to the organization of the event (i.e., is transferred), and the remaining 50% belongs to the donation organization. Alternatively, the donation ratio may be entered such that either the organization of the event or the donation organization is 100%.

[0076] At this time, the remittance to the organizer of the celebratory event and the remittance to the donation organization based on the aforementioned donation ratio of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation may be performed individually when the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation is settled through each of the multiple second terminals (200). Alternatively, the remittance to the organizer of the celebratory event and the remittance to the donation organization based on the aforementioned donation ratio of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation may be performed collectively when the settlement of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation is completed through all of the multiple second terminals (200).

[0077] By determining the donation ratio according to the will of the organizer of the celebratory event as described above, at least a portion of the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation can be provided to the organizer. Therefore, according to the present invention, the amount that is unnecessarily wasted and discarded by conventional wreaths can be efficiently utilized for financing the organizer's celebratory event expenses and for donation to a charity organization.

[0078] Additionally, the information of the digital wreath for donation may further include information on a video displayed on a display unit described later. For example, the organizer of the celebratory event may input information on a video displayed on a display unit described later through the first terminal (100). At this time, information on multiple videos may be stored in the main server (50). And, while the first terminal (100) is connected to the main server (50), one or more videos among the multiple videos that are desired to be displayed on the display unit may be selected by the first terminal (100).

[0079] The second terminal (200) can be a terminal used by the provider of the digital wreath for donation (e.g., guests attending a celebratory or condolence event). Accordingly, there may be multiple second terminals (200).

[0080] The second terminal (200) can receive congratulatory or condolence information from either the main server (50) or the first terminal (200) described above. The second terminal (200) can communicate with the main server (50) to connect to the main server (50), and the provision of a digital wreath for donation can be selected through the second terminal (200).

[0081] At this time, in order to prevent confusion regarding the organizer of the celebratory event, the matching information of the celebratory event schedule and the organizer of the celebratory event may be verified before the provision of the digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal (200). For example, the matching information of the celebratory event schedule and the person involved in the celebratory event (i.e., the name of the person involved in the celebratory event) may be verified first by the second terminal (200). At this time, if the matching information is not verified, the matching information of the celebratory event schedule and the immediate family member of the celebratory event (i.e., the name of the immediate family member of the celebratory event) may be verified secondarily.

[0082] In this way, before the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal (200), the information regarding the celebratory event can be matched (i.e., the schedule of the celebratory event and the organizer of the celebratory event) and verified, thereby preventing the digital wreath for donation from being provided to an unwanted celebratory event due to an error.

[0083] Additionally, after the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal (200), a message regarding the organizer of the celebratory event may be entered. The message entered by the second terminal (200) may be transmitted to the main server (50).

[0084] Meanwhile, the provider of the digital wreath for donation may, at the provider's discretion, cancel and / or modify the selected content regarding the content of the digital wreath for donation that has already been selected through the second terminal (200).

[0085] After the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected through the second terminal (200) or after a certain period of time has elapsed since the selection, a notification regarding the provision of the digital wreath for donation that was previously selected and guidance related to modification may be sent from the main server (50) to the second terminal (200). This guidance may be a notice regarding the number (amount) of the digital wreath for donation that was previously selected through the second terminal (200) and the possibility of cancellation and modification.

[0086] At this time, the provider of the digital wreath for donation can verify and modify (or cancel) information regarding the provision of the pre-selected digital wreath for donation through the second terminal (200). In this way, through the process of verifying the intention of the provider of the digital wreath for donation again, it is possible to prevent the donation from being made against the intention of the provider of the digital wreath for donation, or the donation from being made for an amount different from the amount intended by the provider of the digital wreath for donation.

[0087] All procedures by the aforementioned second terminal (200) can be performed while the second terminal (200) is connected to the main server (50).

[0088] A donation system for replacing wreaths according to an embodiment of the present invention may further include a display unit (400) placed at the site of a celebratory or condolence event. The display unit (400) may be installed at the entrance side of the site of the celebratory or condolence event.

[0089] The display unit (400) may be configured to be capable of communicating with the main server (50) by having a communication module. It may be input through the second terminal (200), transmitted to the main server (50), and stored in the main server (50).

[0090] The display unit (400) may display at least one of the following: information about the person in charge of the celebratory event, a photo related to the person in charge of the celebratory event, information about the donor through a digital wreath for donation (i.e., information about the provider of the digital wreath for donation), and a message from the donor to the person in charge of the celebratory event.

[0091] Here, information regarding the organizer of the celebratory or condolence event may include information such as the names of the person involved and their immediate family, and a photograph related to the organizer may include a photograph of the person involved. Additionally, information regarding the provider of the digital wreath for donation may include at least one of the provider's company, name, and amount.

[0092] Meanwhile, at the venue of a celebratory or condolence event, there may be cases where a guest wishes to display a message on the display unit (400). In this case, the guest can contact the main server (50) through the second terminal (200) and can enter a message into the real-time message input field provided through the main server (50) (i.e., the service provider's homepage). The message entered into the real-time message input field can be transmitted from the main server (50) to the display unit (400), and the message entered through the second terminal (200) can be displayed on the display unit (400) in real time (i.e., in real time).

[0093] In this way, according to the present invention, the problems of environmental pollution and cost loss caused by conventional wreaths can be resolved by providing a digital wreath for donation. In addition, the provider of the digital wreath for donation can convey a message of congratulations or comfort to the person involved in the celebratory or condolence event through the display unit (400), and at the same time donate a certain amount to a donation organization, support the celebratory or condolence event expenses of the organizer.

[0094] In addition, as one embodiment, data stored in the main server (50) can be used as input data for Measurement, Reporting, Verification (MRV). Then, according to the procedures prepared by the carbon credit certification agency, it can lead to verification and certification of the amount of carbon reduction (e.g., issuance of a certificate). In addition, the use of the certificate (or carbon credit) (e.g., trading) can be performed optionally.

[0095] The main server (50) can communicate with the donation organization server (500). At this time, there may be multiple donation organizations. For example, if a donation organization server (500) is provided for each donation organization, the main server (50) can communicate with each of the multiple donation organization servers (500). Alternatively, if information regarding multiple donation organizations is stored in a single donation organization server (500), the main server (50) may communicate with only one donation organization server (500).

[0096] The main server (50) can receive information about a donation organization from the donation organization server (500), and the information about the donation organization can be stored in the main server (50). Based on the information about the donation organization stored in the main server (50), the organizer of the celebratory event can select at least one of a plurality of donation organizations through the first terminal (100).

[0097] In addition, according to the present invention, the main server (50) can communicate with the server (600) of the carbon credit certification agency.

[0098] The carbon credit certification body mentioned above may be an institution authorized by the government. In addition, the carbon credit certification body may determine the degree of carbon reduction based on the provided data and certify carbon credits based on the degree of carbon reduction. For example, this carbon credit certification system may be compatible with internationally recognized reduction certification systems such as KOC and VCS.

[0099] The main server (50) above may store the total number of digital wreaths for donation selected through a plurality of second terminals (200). Specifically, after the celebratory or condolence event is concluded, the total number of digital wreaths for donation selected through a plurality of second terminals (200) may be aggregated and stored in the main server (50) by the control unit. For example, the aggregated data may be implemented using encryption or a blockchain-based storage method to prevent tampering.

[0100] At the time when the celebratory event has ended or after a certain amount of time has elapsed since the celebratory event ended, information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation stored in the main server (50) can be transmitted to the server (600) of the carbon credit certification agency.

[0101] The time when the celebratory event has ended or the time after a certain period has elapsed since the event has ended may be determined in advance by the organizer of the event or the provider of the wreath substitute donation system and stored in the main server (50). For example, this information may be used as input data for Measurement, Reporting, Verification (MRV).

[0102] For example, the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be the number of second terminals that selected the digital wreaths for donation. Alternatively, the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be the number of digital wreath accounts for donation selected by multiple second terminals.

[0103] A carbon credit certification agency can perform carbon credit certification based on information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation transmitted from the main server (50). For example, based on evaluation criteria it possesses, the carbon credit certification agency can certify or determine carbon credits equivalent to the amount of carbon reduced as a regular wreath is converted into a digital wreath for donation.

[0104] For example, carbon credit certification bodies may refer to ISO 14064, ISO 14067 or similar international standards, and the results may be registered as carbon credits (KOC, VCU, etc.).

[0105] The carbon credit certification result performed by the carbon credit certification agency can be transmitted from the server (600) of the carbon credit certification agency to the main server (50). The carbon credit certification result transmitted to the main server (50) can be owned by the provider of the wreath replacement donation system.

[0106] Here, the certification result of the carbon credit can be issued in the form of a carbon credit certificate.

[0107] These carbon credit certificates may be tradable through a pre-established exchange. Accordingly, the provider of the donation system for replacing wreaths according to the present invention may trade the carbon credits through the exchange.

[0108] For example, issued certificates can be traded in the domestic emissions trading system (K-ETS) or international voluntary markets (VCS, Gold Standard, etc.).

[0109] Therefore, the present invention can evolve beyond a simple donation inducement system into a platform that links to the registration of carbon reduction projects and the trading of carbon credits. Accordingly, environmental effects (carbon reduction), social effects (expansion of donations), and economic effects (reduction of expenses for celebratory and condolence events and generation of revenue from credit trading) can be achieved simultaneously.

[0110] The provider of the digital wreath for donation can select and pay the donation amount through the second terminal (200), and the payment details are immediately recorded on the main server (50). In the wreath replacement donation system, the amount remitted to the donation organization and the amount attributable to the organizer of the celebratory event can be calculated separately.

[0111] The organizer of the celebratory event can check the donation results and remittance details through the first terminal (100), thereby enabling simultaneous reduction of celebratory event costs and management of donation details.

[0112] The system according to the present invention can also provide automatic notifications to the organizer of the event and / or the provider of the digital wreath for donation based on conditions pre-specified by the organizer (e.g., whether a minimum donation amount has been achieved). This contributes simultaneously to encouraging participation in donation and covering the costs of the event.

[0113] The wreath replacement donation system according to the present invention can be modified in various ways depending on national regulatory requirements, certification procedures, and payment infrastructure. For example, the wreath replacement donation system can be optimized for external business registration based on KOC domestically, and can be integrated with VCS or Gold Standard systems overseas. This ensures flexibility for international expansion without limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0114] Hereinafter, a donation method for replacing a wreath according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with further reference to other drawings.

[0115]

[0116] FIG. 3 is a drawing showing a donation method for replacing a wreath according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0117] Hereinafter, in describing the donation method for replacing wreaths according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is obvious that the configuration of the aforementioned donation system for replacing wreaths can be applied in the same way to this method. Furthermore, it is obvious that this method can be applied in the same way to the aforementioned donation system for replacing wreaths.

[0118] Referring to FIG. 3, a donation method for replacing a wreath according to an embodiment of the present invention may begin with the step (S10) of entering a service provider's homepage. For example, the organizer of the celebratory event may access the main server (50) through the first terminal (100) to enter the service provider's homepage.

[0119] Additionally, the above-mentioned donation method for replacing a wreath may include a step of inputting information on celebratory and condolence events (S20) and a step of inputting information on a digital wreath for donation (S30). That is, information on celebratory and condolence events and information on a digital wreath for donation may be input through the first terminal (100) and transmitted to the main server (50) (S20, S30).

[0120] The above information on congratulatory and condolence events may include the schedule of the event and information on the organizers. The information on the organizers may include the names of the parties involved in the event and their immediate family members.

[0121] The information of the digital wreath for donation may include information regarding donation through the digital wreath for donation. Specifically, the information of the digital wreath for donation may include information regarding the use of the digital wreath for donation service entered through the first terminal (100), information regarding the donation ratio for the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation (i.e., information regarding the donation ratio for the income earned through the digital wreath for donation), and information about the donation organization.

[0122] Here, the donation ratio may be the ratio of the amount belonging to the organizer of the celebratory event to the amount belonging to the donation organization, within the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation. In other words, the donation ratio may be the ratio of the amount remitted to the organizer of the celebratory event to the amount remitted to the donation organization, within the amount corresponding to the digital wreath for donation.

[0123] Additionally, the information of the digital wreath for donation may include information about the donation organization through which the donation is made. Here, there may be multiple donation organizations. Furthermore, the selection of the donation organization may be made by the organizer of the celebratory event through the first terminal (100), or by the provider of the digital wreath for donation (i.e., a guest attending the celebratory event) through the second terminal (200).

[0124] If a donation organization is selected through the first terminal (100), the selection of the donation organization may be performed in step S30 above. Alternatively, if a donation organization is selected through the second terminal (200), the selection of the donation organization may be performed in step S70 below.

[0125] In addition, the information of the digital wreath for donation described above may further include selection information for the digital wreath for donation by the provider of the digital wreath for donation, which will be described later. At this time, the provider of the digital wreath for donation may select the number of digital wreaths for donation, and the amount of the digital wreath for donation may be determined based on the selected number.

[0126] The present method may further include a step (S40) of sending a mobile notice. In this step, a notice containing connection information to the main server (50) (e.g., the homepage address of a service provider) may be transmitted to one or more second terminals (200) by the first terminal (100) or the main server (50). In addition to the connection information to the main server (50), the information included in the mobile notice may further include information regarding celebratory and condolence events and information related to digital wreaths for donation. Here, the information related to digital wreaths for donation may include content stating that digital wreaths are being accepted instead of conventional wreaths, and that donations can be made to specific donation organizations through digital wreaths.

[0127] The provider of the digital wreath for donation can access the main server (50) through the second terminal (200). That is, the provider of the digital wreath for donation can access the service provider's homepage through the second terminal (200).

[0128] The present method may further include a step (S50, S60) of verifying the matching of congratulatory and condolence event information by the second terminal (200). For example, the matched information regarding the schedule of the congratulatory and condolence event and the person in charge of the event may be verified by the second terminal (200). For example, the matched information regarding the schedule of the congratulatory and condolence event and the person involved in the event (i.e., the name of the person involved in the event or the person in charge) may be verified first by the second terminal (200) (S50, S60). At this time, if the matched information is not verified (N in S60), the matched information regarding the schedule of the congratulatory and condolence event and the immediate family members (i.e., the name of the immediate family members) may be verified secondarily (expanded search) (S65).

[0129] In this way, before the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal (200), the information regarding the celebratory event can be matched (i.e., the schedule of the celebratory event and the organizer of the celebratory event) and verified, thereby preventing the digital wreath for donation from being provided to an unwanted celebratory event due to an error.

[0130] The present method may further include, after the step of confirming the matching of the congratulatory and condolence information, a step (S70) in which the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected by the second terminal (200) and a message input step (S80).

[0131] In the step (S70) where the provision of a digital wreath for donation is selected, the provider of the digital wreath for donation may select the intention to provide the digital wreath for donation to the venue of the celebratory or condolence event. In the message input step (S80), a message of congratulations or comfort that the provider of the digital wreath wishes to convey to the organizer of the celebratory or condolence event may be entered.

[0132] After the message input step (S90), the payment and confirmation (S90) step may be performed. In the payment and confirmation (S90) step, payment of an amount corresponding to a digital wreath for donation selected in advance through the second terminal (200) may be performed, and the number (amount) of digital wreaths for donation and a message to be delivered to the organizer of the event may be confirmed.

[0133] Meanwhile, the provider of the digital wreath for donation may, at the provider's discretion, cancel and / or modify the selected content regarding the content of the digital wreath for donation that has already been selected through the second terminal (200).

[0134] After the above payment and confirmation (S90) step or after a certain amount of time has elapsed after the above S90 step, a notification regarding the provision of a pre-selected digital wreath for donation and guidance related to modification may be sent from the main server (50) to the second terminal (200) (S100). This guidance may be a notification regarding the number (amount) of the pre-selected digital wreath for donation and the possibility of cancellation and modification through the second terminal (200).

[0135] At this time, the provider of the digital wreath for donation can verify and modify (or cancel) information regarding the provision of the pre-selected digital wreath for donation through the second terminal (200) (S110). In this way, through the process of verifying the intention of the provider of the digital wreath for donation again, it is possible to prevent the donation from being made against the intention of the provider of the digital wreath for donation, or the donation from being made for an amount different from the amount intended by the provider of the digital wreath for donation.

[0136] Additionally, the present method may further include a step (S120) of transmitting information regarding the number (or amount) of digital wreaths for donation and messages provided by the provider of the digital wreaths for donation to a display unit (400) installed at the venue of the event. The display unit (400) may display information regarding the number (or amount) of digital wreaths for donation and messages provided by the provider of the digital wreaths for donation (i.e., messages to the organizer of the event).

[0137] At this time, a message input through the second terminal (200) connected to the main server (50) can be displayed in real time on the display unit (400) via the main server (50).

[0138] Additionally, the present method may further include the step of remitting at least a portion of the income obtained through the digital wreath for donation to a donation organization (S130) and the step of notifying the organizer of the celebratory event of the remitting result (S140). Accordingly, the organizer of the celebratory event can easily identify the total income obtained through the digital wreath for donation and the amount among them remitted to the donation organization.

[0139] Additionally, the present method may further include a carbon credit certification step (S150). In the carbon credit certification step (S150), information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be transmitted from the main server (50) to the server (600) of the carbon credit certification agency.

[0140] Here, information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be the number of second terminals that have selected digital wreaths for donation. Alternatively, information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation may be the number of digital wreath accounts for donation selected by multiple second terminals.

[0141] Meanwhile, information regarding the total number of digital wreaths for donation may change before or during the event. Therefore, the carbon credit certification step (S150) may be performed at the time when the event ends or after a certain period of time has elapsed since the event ended.

[0142] In the illustrated embodiment, the carbon credit certification step (S150) may be performed after the step (S140) of notifying the organizer of the celebratory event of the remittance result.

[0143] However, if only the condition that the event has ended or a certain amount of time has elapsed after the event has ended is satisfied, the carbon credit certification step (S150) may be performed before step S130. Alternatively, if only the condition that the event has ended or a certain amount of time has elapsed after the event has ended is satisfied, the carbon credit certification step (S150) may be performed between step S130 and step S140.

[0144] Additionally, in the carbon credit certification step (S150), the result of the carbon credit certification performed by the carbon credit certification agency can be transmitted from the server (600) of the carbon credit certification agency to the main server (50).

[0145] In this way, according to an embodiment of the present invention, donations can be encouraged by converting a conventional wreath into a digital wreath for donation.

[0146] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by converting a conventional wreath into a digital wreath for donation, it is possible to contribute to environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions that may be generated by discarded conventional wreaths.

[0147] In addition, according to an embodiment of the present invention, by converting a conventional wreath into a digital wreath for donation, the degree of contribution to carbon reduction (or the degree of contribution to environmental protection) can be compensated with carbon credits.

[0148]

[0149] The preferred embodiments of the present invention described above are disclosed for illustrative purposes only, and those skilled in the art with ordinary knowledge of the present invention will be able to make various modifications, changes, and additions within the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications, changes, and additions should be considered to fall within the scope of the following claims.
