Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to various religious purposes such as amulet distribution, prayer reception, denomination notification, offering of sacred lots, and sermons originating from religious institutions such as temples and shrines via mobile terminals that can be connected to a network. It relates to a method of providing a service to a user.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION There are many phenomena that cannot be easily understood or understood, no matter how advanced science and technology have progressed since the birth of mankind and the frost of stars. For example, it may be an event related to human mental activity or an event related to religion, but in any case, it is a problem that is difficult to understand by science and technology even though people believe somewhere in their mind. For example, a student who refrains from taking the exam is fully aware of the learning achievements that he / she has studied and accumulated, but at the time of the actual exam, it is difficult for him / her to control such things as the academic ability of others, climate and transportation problems. Since the pass / fail can be influenced by such factors, it tends to be a so-called "God's request". In such cases, we often visit shrines and temples that are said to have the benefit of taking the examination, pray for passing exams, and purchase amulets. To give another example, there are countless situations in which a person "relies on God", such as fulfilling business negotiations and marriages, traffic safety, or harassment.

[0003]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, even if "God's belief" is made, it cannot be carried out unless the user visits a religious institution such as a shrine that accepts this God's belief. This was because it was necessary to put the offering into the offering box and pray for a wish, or to purchase amulets, votive tablets, and sacred lots at the company office to dedicate. Therefore, it is difficult for the person who wants to ask God to have time, or it is difficult to carry out God's request when the religious institution is far away from the place of residence, and to bother the agent or eventually give up. There was also a lot. In addition, even if I wanted to make a god request just before a situation that required god request such as taking an examination or just before a business talk, I could not help visiting a religious institution from there, so I had to give up.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and provides a religious service that enables services such as amulet distribution and prayer reception to be provided simply and swiftly, regardless of time or the present location of the user.
