Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pet attribute judging system capable of quantitatively grasping pet attributes, and more particularly, to a pet systematically organizing and managing information on attributes of pets owned by members. The present invention relates to an attribute database system, a pet attribute determination system including the database system, and capable of quantitatively grasping pet attributes, and a method of using those systems.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the owners of pets (pet animals) have been increasing due to various factors such as a nuclear family, a low birth rate and an aging population. On the other hand, due to the rapid spread of Internet-related technology, the number of website creators related to pets is also increasing rapidly.
More than 500 homepages have been registered, and their use is rapidly expanding.

[0003] However, in conventional homepages related to pets, there is a lot of one-sided disclosure of information owned by each individual, for example, business media tools and pets of breeders (pet owners, owners, occupants). Most of them are introduced. In addition, on the homepage provided by pet-related companies, requests and opinions from homepage users are collected and used as information sources for their own work,
In addition, a homepage is used for exchanging information between individuals like a part of a bulletin board by releasing a part or all of the information.

[0004]

By the way, it is said that pet owners (or occupants) in Japan tend to pay more attention to wherever they go than pet owners in Europe and the United States. . The reason for this is largely due to the ignorance of the people about the pets, and if the pets are to be accepted, they have little knowledge of the pets and need to be prepared to accept them.

[0005] That is, a pet has unique attributes such as instinct, habits, and physiology, and the lack of information and the lack of judgment on these attributes largely result. For example, some pets bark well and others are quiet. In addition, even if it is described as barking, not only barking but also barking as if speaking, barking intimidating, barking aggressively, and how to bark are various. Some pets bark at their fangs towards others and other pets.
The attributes of the bark also largely depend on the pet, such as barking over a window or at a distance, barking at a face, and the like. And these attributes, along with individual differences unique to pets, also affect the environment such as feeding and water supply status where pets are bred, health care status, exercise status, storage facility status, etc. It depends greatly.

[0006] However, it is very difficult even for a professional who has been engaged in pet-related business for many years to correctly transmit the attributes of the pet to people other than the owner.

[0007] For example, let's assume an intermediary (hereinafter simply referred to as an intermediary) that mediates business related to pets.
In order to correctly transmit information about the attributes of a pet from a pet owner to a person other than the owner, the mediator must correctly understand the attributes of the pet. However, in order to grasp this information, it is necessary to obtain a large amount of information, and in some cases, the mediator may be forced to interview not only the owner but also the pet for a long time. In addition, the information must be properly communicated to the people involved with the pet, and this information is often qualitative (or subjective), and if passed directly to the mediator, In many cases, the communication required years of experience and a lot of know-how.

[0008] Therefore, if an attribute of the pet (or owner) can be grasped quantitatively (objectively) in advance without conducting an interview with the pet (or the owner), the information can be quantitatively transmitted to a third party. By doing so, the pet may be more easily accepted by people involved with the pet than the owner. Also, it would be great if a pet could be freely welcomed by anyone other than the owner in any environment, that is, a symbiotic environment between the pet and the people could be obtained.

Accordingly, the present invention provides a method of obtaining information about a pet from a pet owner and easily transmitting the information about the pet to surrounding people related to the pet, that is, quantitatively (objectively). An object of the present invention is to provide a pet attribute determination system that can be used and a method of using the same.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a pet attribute database system which systematically organizes and manages information on pet attributes owned by members and a multipurpose use method of the database system.

[0011]

According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a question presenting means for presenting a question relating to the attributes of a pet, and associating the pet information relating to the attributes of the pet owned by the respondent who answered the question with the respondent. Means for collecting the pet information, numerical conversion means for quantitatively converting the pet information into numerical information for each evaluation item by stepwise numerical values divided for each evaluation item, and replying the pet information and the numerical information for each evaluation item Storage means for storing in association with a user, and pet attribute presenting means for presenting a part or all of the numerical information for each evaluation item stored in the storage means to a user for each respondent. This is a pet attribute determination system characterized by the following.

[0012] With this configuration, the question about the attribute of the pet presented by the question presenting means is answered by the respondent, and is collected by the information collecting means in association with the respondent. Here, in general, a breeder who keeps a pet is willing to take a long time to talk about a pet to be petted, and also spares no effort to answer a question. This gives you all the information about your pet's attributes without having to interview them.

[0013] The question presenting means presents a question by an alternative selection method, and provides information while connecting the interests of the respondents by using images or videos including animations and voices including music. It is better to be devised to receive. Further, it is preferable that the presenting means be such that the respondent can select the target object (object) related to the displayed pet and select only the target object that matches the pet to be petted to provide information. .

Next, the pet information is quantitatively converted by the numerical conversion means by stepwise numerical values classified for each evaluation item. As a result, the qualitative information on the pet is quantified, and is converted into information that can be objectively determined by anyone based on numerical values classified by evaluation items.

Then, the numerical information for each evaluation item is stored in the storage means in association with the respondent. At this time, the information before digitization may be stored in the storage unit in association with the respondent.

Next, the numerical information for each evaluation item can be presented to the user for each respondent by the pet attribute presenting means. Since the presented pet information can be expressed by numerical values classified for each evaluation item, anyone can quantitatively determine the attributes of the pet, that is, objectively determine the attributes of the pet.

Thus, according to the pet attribute determination system, information about the pet is obtained from the pet owner, and the information about the pet can be easily understood by surrounding people involved in the pet, that is, quantitative ( Objective).

According to a second aspect of the present invention, the question presenting means is disclosed and presented on a network, and the collecting means passes through the network based on answer information of a respondent who has answered the question presenting means.

By providing the trader with the evaluation item-specific numerical information provided by the pet attribute determination system according to the first aspect of the present invention, the customer does not need to provide pet information to an intermediary or a pet-related trader. Also, since the provided information includes the information provided numerically for each evaluation item, the pet-related business operator objectively grasps the attributes of the pet owned by the customer according to the numerical information for each evaluation item, and Can be determined.

Thus, the pet-related company can grasp the pet-related information without the customer having to transmit the pet-related information for each transaction. In addition, since the numerical information for each evaluation item is objective information on pets owned by the customer, both the customer and the pet-related business can correctly grasp the information on the pet, and the pet generated between the customer and the pet-related business. Troubles due to lack of information on information are reduced.

Further, the administrator browses a part or all of the numerical information for each evaluation item stored in the storage means in response to a request from the customer to a pet-related company that has accessed the identification code for identifying the customer. By making the configuration open as much as possible, it is possible to prevent unnecessary diversion of information.

If the manager is configured to separate the numerical information for each evaluation item from the individual information on the respondent and provide the information to the pet-related company, the customer provides the administrator with the individual information. Unnecessary individual information is not provided to the related company, unnecessary leakage of individual information is avoided, and this brokerage business can be used with confidence.

Further, the pet attribute determination system can be used for searching for lost pets, real-time medical examination, or presentation for sale of merchandise.

In a third aspect of the present invention, a question presenting means for publishing and presenting a question relating to the attribute of a pet on a network, and pet information relating to the attribute of the pet owned by a respondent who has answered the question, An information collecting means for acquiring the pet information in association with the respondent, a storage means for storing the pet information in association with the respondent, and a part or all of the pet information stored in the storage means. And a pet attribute presenting means for presenting to the user for each respondent.

Further, a preferable mode of the pet attribute data system includes a member identification number presenting means for assigning a member identification number to a respondent who has answered a question as a member and presenting the member identification number to the respondent.

Further, in such a pet attribute database system, the storage unit stores the individual information relating to the respondent in association with the pet information, and separates the individual information from the pet information. It is preferably managed, and can be used for searching for lost pets, real-time medical examination, or product sales presentation.

With this configuration, the question about the attribute of the pet presented by the question presenting means on the network is answered by the respondent and collected by the information collecting means in association with the respondent via the network. Is stored in the storage means in association with the person. Thereby, without interviewing the pet, all information on the attributes of the pet is widely and easily obtained and stored in a database, and the pet information can be presented to the user for each respondent by the pet attribute presenting means. You.

In addition, according to this pet attribute data system, information on pets is obtained from pet owners and is versatile as a database systematically organized and managed by surrounding people involved in the pets. Used.

Thus, according to the present invention, a pet attribute database system that systematically organizes and manages information on the attributes of pets owned by members, and includes the database system, so that the attributes of pets can be quantitatively grasped. Is provided.

Further, since these systems have a pet attribute database, they can be used for multiple purposes. For example, they are used when a member who owns a pet and registers the attributes of the pet provides various services or conducts transactions. In addition, this system can be used for a multipurpose purpose by a company that wants to provide a service or conduct a transaction to a member or a company that mediates these services or a transaction.

The services or transactions include all pet businesses related to pets. For example, it includes provision of information related to pets including pet attributes in response to requests from system users such as breeders or brokers who are members, pet related businesses, and brokering of transactions. Further, in order to smoothly carry out these services or transactions, a company using a computer, a network such as a communication line, or a recording medium is included, and preferably, the service is performed through the Internet or other communication lines.

In this case, the customer transmits the contractor authentication information (customer ID) and the PetID according to the pet login screen, so that the pet DB is opened to the customer, and the customer confirms the numerical information for each evaluation item regarding the attribute of the pet owned by the customer. It can be used as a reference for managing your pets.

Thus, according to the pet attribute determination system, information about the pet is obtained from the pet owner, and the information about the pet can be easily understood by surrounding people who are involved in the pet, that is, quantitative ( Objective). [Another Example of Pet Judgment System] Hereinafter, regarding another example of the pet attribute judgment system 10, a questionnaire is created and collected on the homepage of a questionnaire creation and collection service provided by a Web server by using the Internet. [Creation / Collection System], [Judgment System] Based on the Questionnaire Results, and [Example of Use of Judgment System] will be sequentially described. “Petikichi.com” or “petkichi.com” displayed in the figure is a domain name of a homepage operated by a system administrator of an association organization that operates this system. [Questionnaire Creation / Collection System] An example of this question and answer is described in detail in the questionnaire flow chart shown in FIG. 9 and subsequent figures. FIG. 2 shows the flow of individual processing corresponding to each database. First of all,
As shown in FIG. 9, the property (individual information) of the respondent (owner) is asked in S101, and the property of the owner is registered in each answer column by answering with character information or answering by voice input. . The results of the answers to the subsequent questions are stored in real time in the internal database (storage means 23) in association with the individual information.

Then, the flow shifts to S102, where it is checked whether the pet is bred. If you have a pet you currently have, check the breeding period in an alternative question format (S1
03). The breeding period has a large effect on the attributes of the pet, and is therefore an entry item to the numerical information for each evaluation item of the pet attribute determination system described later. Hereinafter, the entry items will be described with a judgment entry mark indicated by ★, and will be described with reference to the drawings. However, detailed description in each case may be omitted.

Then, the process proceeds to S104 to ask whether there is any experience of losing the pet. If there is no experience of losing the pet, the process jumps to S109 (FIG. 10). If the pet has been raised before, the pet has been lost, and the reason, the recovery period, and the recovery method are S105, S106, and S10.
After a question is made in step 7, the process proceeds to step S108, and it is confirmed whether or not the user intends to keep a pet. If you do not intend to keep a pet, the questionnaire will be terminated and the homepage H
The top page of P is displayed, and if there is a will to keep, the process proceeds to S109 and the questionnaire is continued.

At S109, it is confirmed whether or not the owner is living together. If there is a living person, the relationship with the living person (husband, wife, child, mother, father, etc.) and the name of the child are determined at S110 and S111. Asked a question. Subsequently, S112 (FIG. 1)
1), S113 and S114 were asked about the type of residence.
At 15, the building structure is asked. Also, S116, S1
At 17, the type of meal is asked, and these questions are marked with a judgment entry mark ★.

Subsequently, in S118, a question is asked about the living environment as to whether or not it is possible to live with the pet. If living with the pet is possible, the process directly proceeds to S119 (FIG. 12).
If it is not possible to live together, after presenting a current question such as the owner's consent that is kept secretly in S120a, S1
At 20b, it is confirmed whether or not the pet can be bred, or there is a possibility of living together with a pet. This S120
If there is a possibility of relocation in, the process proceeds to S119 after asking the scheduled update time in S121.

After S119, the breeding animal species and its attributes are confirmed. In S122, the species name, name, gender, birthday, etc. are asked by a character input expression, and in S123
Then, the presence or absence of castration, the situation of birthday celebration in S124,
In S125, "crying degree" is asked, and the "crying degree" is marked with an entry mark.

Then, in S126, the method of crying is asked, and in S127 (FIG. 13), the breeding place is inquired about whether it is outdoors or indoors.

If the answer is outdoor (outdoor), S128
Presence or absence of a kennel at S129, situation of the playground at S129, S13
At 0, the condition of the toilet is inquired, and the process proceeds to S131 (FIG. 14).

If the answer is indoor, the main residence is asked in S132, and the state of the toilet during the walk is asked in S133. To use the toilet during a walk,
At 134, the situation of the settlement was asked. At S135 (FIG. 14), the flooring material, at S136, the interior decoration, at S137, the material, at S138, the measures against heat, and at S139, the measures against cold. After the confirmation, the process proceeds to S131.

At S131, a question of the place where the pet sleeps is presented. Subsequently, at S140 (FIG. 15), the walk is performed. At S141, the time required for one walk, S1 is set.
At 42, the time zone is asked. Also, S
After asking about the use status of pet food at 143 and the status of side meal at S144, supplements (dietary supplements) at S145 and S146, S147, S148 and S149.
Asked about the situation of what to eat during a meal.

Subsequently, the kind of drinking water in S150 (FIG. 16), the drinking state of milk in S151 and S152,
53, the shampoo status in S154, the cutting status in S155, and the vaccination status in S156, and if the vaccination has not been performed, the process proceeds to S157 (FIG. 17).

If the child has been vaccinated in step S156, the flow advances to step S158 to ask whether the dog is a dog or a cat. If the child is a cat, the child is vaccinated in step S159. The time is asked and the process proceeds to S157.

If it is "dog", the process proceeds to S160.
After being asked about the time of vaccination and its contents at
The process moves to S157.

At S157, the presence or absence of a hospital visit is confirmed, and if a visit has been made, that is, if the patient is currently visiting the hospital or has been visited before, the process goes to S162 after the medical department is inquired at S161.

If no visit has been made at S157, the process directly proceeds to S162, where the health condition of the pet is inquired. Then, at S163, the condition of the skin (skin), S
At 164, a question is asked as to whether or not the dog has been registered and whether or not rabies vaccination has been performed. This S164 has a judgment entry mark.

Next, a method of depositing a pet at the time of traveling in S165, and a general questionnaire question such as knowledge of the law on animals are presented in S166 and S167, thereby ending the questionnaire flow. . [Modification of Questionnaire Creation / Collecting System] The contents and creation procedure of this questionnaire creation homepage can be changed as appropriate, and modifications thereof are shown in FIG. In addition,
The questionnaire creation / collection system of this modified example shows a selection screen when a questionnaire creation is selected from a main menu of a homepage HP owned by a questionnaire creator whose detailed description is omitted.

On the top screen of the questionnaire creation / collection system, the configuration in the frame indicated by the symbol G is displayed, and the names of pets and owners are written together with appropriate titles and supplementary explanations (the details are omitted). Name column 30,
Pet species (dogs, cats and other animals), short and long hair (long hair,
Nine categories 31 classified according to breeding method (short hair) and breeding method (indoor / outdoor distinction), "OK" display 32 and "return" display 33 are displayed.

Here, in the category column 31, a preferred method is a method of responding to a plurality of objects projected on the screen by selecting an object close to an object corresponding to a pet owned by the respondent and answering the selected object. As an example. Of course, this answer may be not only a selection on the screen but also an answer by voice or other means. Also,
If the respondent selects "return", the display shifts to the main menu of the homepage.

The respondent inputs his / her name and the pet's name in the name column 30 on the screen G on the screen G, and categorizes the pet's own or desired pet's category into a category. Select from column 31.

For example, a dog, long hair, and an outside dog are selected, and "O
"K", the name of the pet (StrPetName) and the name of the respondent (StrUsrName) are stored in the database,
The flow is shifted to the questionnaire flow 1 (dog, long hair, outside dog-0), and an example of the questionnaire flow 1 (dog, long hair, outside dog-0) is shown in FIG. 19 and thereafter.

It is assumed that the answer to this questionnaire has been transmitted to the database in real time, and a detailed description thereof may be omitted in the following description.

The following questions are preferably presented not only with images or videos that may be animations, but also with voices including music, while connecting the interests of the respondents. Is "YES
Respondents choose what they think is appropriate in the form of “or NO” or “selection of numbers such as 1-5”
The simplest.

First, in FIG. 19, at 010, the presence or absence of a pet is confirmed. Here, in the case of "No" in which the pet is not held, in 016, after confirming the intention of holding the pet in the future, the process proceeds to reference numerals 5 and 6 to notify the end of the questionnaire.

If "Yes" is selected in 010, the flow shifts to 012 because the pet is owned, and the breeding history of the pet is confirmed. Here, "0-1
When "year" is selected, a question of whether or not milk is given to the pet owned by the user and an answer column for the question are presented as alternatives in 014. When the respondent answers it, the process moves to the next question after 017. Similarly, when “1-3 years” and “3 years or more” are selected, the process moves to 013 and 015, respectively.
A greeting message that matches each of them, a question as to whether or not the pet is milked, and an answer field are presented. When the respondent answers it, the process moves to the next question after 017.

In the step 017, as shown in FIG. 20, the type of the breeding water is asked. When the respondent selects the answer column ("purified water", "mineral water", "tap water"), the presence or absence of a doghouse is confirmed along with a comment according to each answer (018, 019, 021), and this doghouse If a response is made to the presence / absence of, there is a transition to 020.

At 020, the state of the place where you are always living is asked. If an answer is given alternatively regarding the state of the place, 022, 02
The process is shifted to 4,023, and as shown in FIG. 21, a question about the strolling state is given together with a comment on each place. Here, a question is asked about whether or not to take a walk and the number of hours of the walk.

The answer result is divided into a case where the walk is performed and a case where the walk is not performed. If the walk is not performed, the process proceeds to 025. If the walk is performed, the process proceeds to 026 regardless of the number of hours.
The state of the meal is asked with comments according to each.

When the food condition is answered, it is categorized based on the answer result, and is shifted to 027, 028, 029 with the corresponding comment, and the presence or absence of the use status of the supplement (dietary supplement) shown in FIG. Is displayed. Then
When this question is answered, the process proceeds to 030, where the state of the meal is confirmed.

Thereafter, in the same manner, in 031 and 032, a barking situation was asked, and 033, 034, 035 (FIG. 2)
In 3), the presence or absence of castration was confirmed, and 036, 037, 03
At 8, it is confirmed that the birthday celebration is "Yes" or "No".

Next, at 039,040 (FIG. 24),
The presence or absence of vaccination is confirmed, and the presence or absence of shampoo is confirmed at 041. In the case of shampooing, the number is confirmed at 042, the number of cuts is confirmed at 044, and then the process proceeds to 045 (FIG. 25). When shampooing is not performed, the process proceeds to 043, and the number of cuts is confirmed.

Next, at 045 or 047, a question is asked as to whether or not there is knowledge of animal-related laws, together with the corresponding comment.
Confirmed at 8,049.

Then, it is confirmed at 050 whether or not the pet has been lost.
1 (FIG. 26), the cause is confirmed.

At 051, if the reason for the loss is death or the like, at 053, a selection of "read" or "not read" of the membership agreement for soliciting membership registration is displayed together with words of condolence. 057 when “Read” is selected
When "not read" is selected, the process proceeds to 056 (FIG. 27).

If the reason for the loss is “missing” or the like in 051, 0 is added together with the words of concern according to the reason.
At 55, the intention to solicit membership registration is confirmed. If the user is interested in the member registration, the process proceeds to 057. If the user is not interested, the process proceeds to 056.

At 050, if the pet has not been lost, the process proceeds to 052, and a selection of "Read" or "Not Read" of the membership agreement for soliciting membership registration is displayed together with the comment. If “read” is selected, the process proceeds to 057. If “not read” is selected, the process proceeds to 056.

At 056, since the respondent is not interested in the membership registration, he returns to the home page or the top of the answer column with the display of thanks.

At 057, since the respondent is interested in member registration, the intention of member registration is reconfirmed at 057, and only when consent is obtained, the process proceeds to 058 to 062.
Register properties as a member.

At 058, the name, address, telephone, date of birth, gender, work place, etc. are entered along with a welcome greeting to the member registration. In addition to the questionnaire, family status, and residence form, information related to pets (type, number, species, gender, birthday, and how to cry) of the breeding animal is input, and in 060 to 062 (FIG. 29), Other pet-related information (toilet status, birthday, living environment, walk status, pet food, snacks, vaccination status, health status such as illness, check-in place for travel, microchip system (pet General questionnaire regarding approval / disapproval of the ID system), approval / disapproval of qualifications and licensing system for keeping pets, and appropriate number of breeding heads are input.

Then, when all these inputs are completed, the questionnaire is completed. In addition, since there are many important items in the member registration information after 058, as in the usual member registration method, rather than registering in real time, the results of the questionnaire are presented in a list and the respondents are asked to confirm the contents of the answer. Then, transmission for registration application may be performed.

[0124] Further, a display of "return" for interrupting the operation at any time may be displayed on this homepage screen in a selectable manner. When "return" is selected, the display may return to the main menu.

In FIG. 18, even when other categories are selected, a questionnaire for necessary information for judging the attributes of the pet, a solicitation to respondents to members, and a questionnaire after obtaining necessary individual information are obtained in the same manner. To end. [Determination System] Next, an outline of a determination system mainly including the numerical conversion means 22 according to this embodiment will be described.

In the judgment system of this embodiment, the items with the judgment entry mark ★ in the information collected by the questionnaire creation / collection system indicate the pet management level, health level, environment level, pet care level, It is divided into evaluation items such as the degree of healing and quantified and managed.

Here, the pet management level is a scale indicating the minimum management status of the pet of the owner, for example, what kind of water and food are given, how to walk, etc. Judged by

This pet management level is used, for example, by a real estate leasing company or the like, and the real estate leasing company owns the pets owned by the real estate owned by the customer or the real estate owned by the customer based on the numerical value indicated in the pet management level. It is determined whether or not the customer can rent. Based on whether this value exceeds a certain value, it is possible to determine whether or not the provision to the rented housing is appropriate or inappropriate.

[0129] The degree of health is a scale indicating the degree of health care given to the pet by the owner. This health level is useful, for example, as a supplementary judgment material for a veterinarian or the like to judge the health condition of the pet.

The degree of environment is a scale indicating the owner's environmental status when living with pets. For example, the degree of environmental assessment is based on whether the owner has set up an appropriate housing environment for raising pets. This degree of environment is used as judgment material for veterinarians, rental companies, hotel companies, and the like.

The degree of pet care is a measure of the care situation and affection of the pet to the pet by the owner. For example, the number of uses of the pet, such as shampoo and cut, the selection of shampoo quality, aroma massage, hot spring bathing The degree of healing is a measure of how much the owner is healed by his pet.

The storage means 23 is given a five-level evaluation indicated by an integer of 1 to 5 which has been evaluated in advance, based on each answer result of each question item with a judgment entry mark ★. Hereinafter, this numerical value is referred to as an evaluation value. [Evaluation Table] Such evaluation values are set in advance for each answer to each question number with a judgment entry mark. One example is explained by the evaluation table 50 shown in FIG.

This evaluation table 50 contains each question number Q
Column, a response result Ans. Column, each evaluation item column 51, and an overall evaluation column 52. In addition, for example, regarding the “crying degree” of the question number Q5 totaled in S125, it corresponds to the selected numerical values 1 to 4 of the answer result Ans.
Corresponding to "Keeping around others and barking", pet management level "1", health level "5", environmental level "4", pet care level "3", healing level "5", comprehensive evaluation Each evaluation value 511 of “4” is set, and “2 barks to the family”
In response to the above, the pet management level “5”, the health level “2”, the environmental level “5”, the pet care level “2”, the healing level “3”, and the overall rating “3” are set as the evaluation value 511, Corresponding to "3 barking against other pets", pet management level "4", health level "5", environmental level "4", pet care level "5", healing level "5", overall evaluation "5" is evaluation value 5
It is set as 11, and corresponding to “4 Absent”, the pet management level “3”, health level “2”, environmental level “1”, pet care level “1”, healing level “2”, overall The evaluation “3” is set as the evaluation value 511.

Similarly, for each question item including the question number Q1 “why the pet was lost”, the respective answer results An
s., an evaluation value 511 of five levels is set for each evaluation item and each comprehensive evaluation. As a result, the evaluation values 511 corresponding to all the evaluation items corresponding to the answer result Ans. To each questionnaire are stored in the numerical information DB for each evaluation item. Note that the evaluation value 511 of each evaluation item column 51 may be averaged and input to the overall evaluation column 52.

Here, the evaluation value 511 indicates that the larger the numerical value is, the higher the evaluation is, and the smaller the numerical value is, the more the problem is. For example, a pet management level of “5” indicates that pet management, including discipline of pets, is well performed. On the other hand, a pet management level of “1” indicates that there are many pet management issues. Is shown.

The higher the value of the degree of health, the better the health of the owner with respect to the pet, and the higher the degree of environment, the better the environment in which the pet lives.

Similarly, as the degree of pet care increases,
It indicates that the pet is kept with care and care, and that greater healing indicates that the pet is satisfying the pet. On the other hand, the smaller these values are, the more the pet management status, environment, health,
Numerical values indicate that there is a problem with the breeding method or that the pet is frustrated. [Calculation of Average Evaluation Value] Each time an individual pet is selected, each evaluation value 511 is integrated for each evaluation item based on the response result with each judgment entry mark ★ and averaged. The calculation result is displayed as a judgment result in the feeding management evaluation report 60 shown in FIG.

Here, the evaluation value assigned to the evaluation item column 61 (hereinafter referred to as the average evaluation value 61 to distinguish it from the evaluation value 511)
One. ) Is a value obtained by converting the average of the evaluation values of the pet so that the highest value is 100 (20 times the average). Each evaluation value 511 is a five-point evaluation. In the average evaluation value 611, the accuracy and accuracy of the evaluation are achieved by averaging the answer results of 24 items. of course,
Instead of the average evaluation value 611, the evaluation can be performed simply by integrating the evaluation values 511. In this case,
It is difficult to determine when the number of integrations is different.

It should be noted that the average evaluation value 611 alone can determine the attributes of the pet. However, if necessary, details or excerpts of the questionnaire results regarding the attributes of the pet, comments based on the questionnaire results, and the like are added. You may.

According to the breeding management evaluation report 60, the pet attributes held by the customer are converted into evaluation items that can be easily judged by the user, and are expressed in the form of scores as the average evaluation value 611. As a result, the average evaluation value 611 becomes
Since the average value reflects each item of the questionnaire, the reliability is high, and the user can quantitatively judge the attributes of the pet by numerical values, so that it is extremely easy to judge the result.

Each of these average evaluation values 611 is further averaged and described as a total evaluation value 621. Here, the comprehensive evaluation 621 is an average value of the average evaluation values 611 corresponding to the degree of pet management, the degree of health, the degree of environment, the degree of pet care, and the degree of healing. May be weighted in accordance with each. [Example of Weighting of Average Evaluation Value] Next, an example of this weighting will be described by using a leasing company as a model.

First, the average evaluation value of each evaluation item with respect to the results of all the questionnaires is shown in Table 1 by using the rental company as a model.
It is calculated as shown in Here, each of these average evaluation values is an average value of totals for all the questionnaires, and the perfect score is converted into 100 points.

[0143]

[Table 1]

For the renter, the degree of pet management is more important than the degree of health, the degree of environment, the degree of pet care, and the degree of healing. Therefore, a higher weight is given to the degree of pet management. For example, the maximum value of the average evaluation value of the pet management degree is 100, and the maximum value of the average evaluation value of the health degree, the environmental degree, the pet care degree, and the healing degree is 50 so that the maximum value is 50.
Is calculated proportionally as shown in FIG.

[0145]

[Table 2]

Next, a person familiar with the pet rental business interviews these pets individually to determine separately whether or not the customer holding the pet is suitable as a rental customer. Correlate with the comprehensive evaluation value for rental. As a result, when the rental comprehensive evaluation value indicates a certain value or more, a value determined to be suitable as a customer who provides a rental condominium (hereinafter, this value is referred to as a general reference clear value). ) Is set, and it is possible to judge whether the provision to the rented house is inappropriate based on, for example, whether or not this value exceeds “36”.

In addition, when the comprehensive evaluation value for rental is a certain value (hereinafter, this value is referred to as a minimum reference clear value), for example, “less than 25”, it is determined that the rental offer is unconditionally refused. it can. The comprehensive evaluation value for rental is "25-3
In the period "6", the renter can freely set such that the judgment is left to other items. [Modified example of overall evaluation value] Of course, these weights are
Each of the evaluation items may be set separately for each purpose. Also, the type of business or service (use form)
In addition to the above, not only the overall evaluation value may be used as a criterion, but also weighting may be performed with emphasis on individual numerical values.

Further, the correlation between the past transaction cases and the evaluation values collected and analyzed according to the questionnaire creation / collection system may be analyzed, and the evaluation value for each evaluation item may be weighted.

As a result, the comprehensive evaluation value is not the only information, and a plurality of different evaluation values can be presented according to the position of the user who uses the pet DB.

The numerical values such as the weights, including this analysis method, are appropriately updated during the operation of the system, so that the reliability of the system is improved. [Modification of Evaluation] In the above judgment, the numerical values of the evaluation items reflect all of the questionnaire results, but only some of the question items are extracted and extracted according to the user's request. May be used for this pet DB.

For example, in a hotel business, the size of a dog to be kept may be important, and it is said that when a large dog is to be kept, it is better to place the dog in a room near the emergency exit. This is because a typical dog has a habit of being unable to move in the event of a fire, so the trader presets a room in which a dog can be escaped while holding the dog in custody.

In such a case, in the hotel business where dogs are kept, information on the size of the dog is important, and this is generally determined by the type and age of the dog. Here, if the dog type and birthday are registered in the pet DB in advance,
Since the size of the dog to be kept can be grasped without special explanation, the dealer can accurately obtain the attribute information of the dog to be kept in advance and properly secure the accommodation place of the dog to be kept based on this information, In addition, dogs can be smoothly rescued during a fire. This allows the customer to be surprised at the size of the dog only when they bring it in and look at the size of the dog, or to move other dogs already housed and store large dogs. It saves the trouble of securing a place.

As described above, part of the information on the questionnaire results can be singly extracted and evaluated. In addition, the type and content of the information with the judgment entry mark may be upgraded as appropriate according to the request of the user of the system, and may be added, renewed, or abolished according to the demands of the times or the preference of the user. Something to be done. [Display of Reliability of Feeding Evaluation Report] Here, these feeding management evaluation reports 52 may include an item for evaluating the reliability of the questionnaire results. As such a reliability evaluation method, it is possible to apply a reliability evaluation technology by performing a statistical analysis in a general questionnaire, for example, by judging by the distribution state of data or by comparing with a standard deviation. Is also good. Generally, it is understood that the smaller the distribution of data, the more reliable the data.

These evaluation values are calculated in real time each time there is a response from each respondent, each numerical value based on the response result Ans. Is calculated, added for each evaluation item, an average value is obtained, and stored in the database. Is done. As a result, the qualitative information on the pet is quantified, and is converted into information that anyone can objectively determine based on numerical values classified according to evaluation items such as the degree of pet management, the degree of health, and the degree of environment.

This numerical information for each evaluation item is stored in the storage means 23 in association with the respondent, and can be used as an internal database. [Real-time display of evaluation results] These evaluation results are transmitted to the respondents on the homepage provided by the Web server in real time or at certain intervals, regardless of the stage during or after the collection of the questionnaire. You may comprise so that provision is possible. As a result, respondents can check the status of their pets in real time by numerical values, and are enthusiastic about cooperating with the questionnaire. [Use of Judgment System] Next, an example of use of the pet attribute judgment system 10 according to the above invention will be described.

First, as an embodiment of the use of the judgment system 10, a case where the pet judgment system according to the present invention is used for a transaction between a customer 14 who owns a pet and a trader 15 who conducts business related to the pet. It is. Such a transaction is processed according to the configuration shown in FIG. 1 and according to the processing flow shown in FIG.

That is, in the transaction between the customer 14 and the trader 15, the manager 12 managing the pet attribute determination system 10, the customer 14 who owns the pet registered in the system, and the business related to the pet Is performed by a system composed of a pet-related business (trader) 15 that performs the above and an Internet line 13 that mediates the business.

First, as shown in FIG. 32, in S301, the system administrator 12 receives an inquiry from the pet-related business 15 as a member or a request to use.

Next, the pet ID is opened in S302, the pet supporter (member homepage) is logged in in S303, and the pet ID is input (S304) to obtain information on the pet (S305). Based on the information on the pet, a response based on the attribute of the pet is executed (S306).

A more specific example of the above determination system is performed as follows.

Prior to using the determination system 10, the trader 15 performs a series of procedures for a service contract. This procedure is exchanged, for example, between the system administrator (service provider) 12 and the Web server on the Internet. Information such as the address, telephone number, name, and password of the trader (system user) 15 and information such as a credit number for billing are registered. After a predetermined procedure, the authentication number is given to the trader. Be presented. When the registration is completed on the homepage, the user can access the homepage for using the system.

The customer 14 informs the trader 15 of his / her registered name and the identification number PetID received from the manager, instead of explaining the pet attributes to the trader 15.

The trader is authenticated at the time of access on the system-use homepage based on information from the customer (S
301-2). Thereafter, on the system use homepage (S303), an overview of the use of the system and precautions are presented, and when the trader inputs the name of the customer and an identification number (PetID) for identifying the pet of the customer (S304). ), The information on the attributes of the pet is opened for browsing (S305).

By browsing the information on the pet of the customer 14 (S306), the trader 15 can know the objective judgment result including the details of the pet attribute. Based on this information, the trader 15 can determine whether or not to provide the service to the customer 14, and the transaction with the customer is performed.

As a result, the customer 14 and the pet-related company 1
At the request of 5 or the like, the numerical information for each evaluation item stored in the internal database is posted so as to be viewable on a homepage HP or the like on the Internet 13 (pet attribute presenting means 24), Can be used. Since the presented pet information is represented by numerical values, anyone can quantitatively determine the attributes of the pet, that is, objectively determine the attributes of the pet.

Thus, according to the pet attribute determination system, information about the pet is obtained from the pet owner, and the information about the pet can be easily understood by surrounding people related to the pet. Objective).

Further, since the provided information is information provided numerically for each evaluation item, the pet-related company objectively grasps the attribute of the pet owned by the customer according to the numerical information for each evaluation item. , It can be determined whether or not to conduct a transaction with the customer.

[0168] Thus, the pet-related trader can grasp the pet-related information without the customer transmitting the pet-related information for each transaction. In addition, since the numerical information for each evaluation item is objective information on pets owned by the customer, both the customer and the pet-related business can correctly grasp the information on the pet, and the information generated between the customer and the pet-related business is generated. Trouble due to lack of information on pets is reduced.

Further, the manager browses a part or all of the numerical information for each evaluation item stored in the storage means in response to a request from the customer to a pet-related company that has accessed the identification code for identifying the customer. By making the configuration open as much as possible, it is possible to prevent unnecessary diversion of information.

[0170] If the manager is configured to provide the pet-related trader with the numerical information for each evaluation item and the individual information on the respondent separately, the customer provides the manager with the individual information. Unnecessary individual information is not provided to the related company, unnecessary leakage of individual information is avoided, and this brokerage business can be used with confidence. [Modification of Use of Judgment System] Next, an application example in which a desired numerical value for each evaluation item has been received in advance from a trader as trader information will be described.
