Description

This system is not suitable for family members, relatives, and relatives living in remote areas who want to visit the grave. There are concerns that there will be a gradual decrease in the chances of visiting the graves for some reason, and there will eventually be no more grave visits. By creating an environment where you can visit the graves in a simple way, this will increase the opportunities and help to pass on religious culture based on Buddhism. The principle is that the current video technology is used for shooting, but it is possible to operate as a business by transmitting information to remote locations and providing it to the user as video information. .
{Background technology}

Traditionally, local grave visits are natural, and in Buddhism, for example, it is common to go to the graves on the bank of spring and autumn, summer bon festival, death day, etc. A method such as asking for reading was used. In the Shinto world, there are many customs such as Buddhist bon festivals, but there are many cases where the death grave visit is actually carried out.
{Problems to be solved by the invention or the object of the invention}

  The Dan family system, which began in the Edo period, suppresses missionary activities by keeping farmers in place, grasping the current population, and securing stable income for temples, and restrains the balance between sects and unnecessary political criticism. It is intended. However, the shift from rural culture to urban culture is destroying the base of the Dan family. The temple needs to maintain the Dan family system, and there is a demand to create a new Dan family culture by using this system.

By improving the convenience of the Dan family, the frequency of grave visits is increased, and as a result, by strengthening the connection with temples and shrines, the effect of instilling Buddhist ideas and teachings can be expected. In addition, we can expect an increase in the number of grave visits and an increase in the number of grave visits by reducing the cost of grave visits in the Dan family situation. In addition, if a temple is selected as a place to display images, it will lead to an increased chance of experiencing Buddhist culture naturally, and an effect different from so-called tourism can be expected.
{Means for solving problems and achieving objectives}

  Traditionally, local grave visits are natural, and depending on the location, there may be a common graveyard. This patent does not include cemeteries that are not directly related to such temples, that is, do not exist within the temples, and is limited to cemeteries directly managed by the temples and shrines. Prepare video data for each graveyard and gravestone when managed by a temple or shrine. This video data is transmitted and transmitted using the Internet or another data line. Video display systems are installed at each temple and shrine, where video data is received and displayed. The person who wishes to visit the grave confirms the cemetery information sent as this image to the place having the display device and completes the grave visit. About this display apparatus, it installs in each temple and shrine and becomes a transmission side or a reception side mutually. For example, 20,000 yen is paid for this grave entry fee, and 10,000 yen is distributed to the transmitting side and 10,000 yen is distributed to the receiving side.

  At the time of transmission, each transmission temple may operate with its own server, or a common server may be installed for centralized management.

  As an initial expense, we will donate 300,000 yen, for example, to the Dan family and use it for the cost of taking a picture of a tombstone. In addition, an event that grass grows or gets dirty with the passage of time can be obtained by updating the video once a month, for example. Therefore, this video information is not limited to the purpose of visiting the grave, but can be used for checking the current situation.

  Since such a method of use is possible, the service request from the Dan family or worshipers can be answered. In other words, incidental operations such as cleaning of cemeteries, consignment of mowing, consignment of flowers, consignment of preparation of offerings, consignment of ignition of incense and incense, consignment of installation of graduated towers, etc. are incurred. Since it can be billed, it can be deployed as a kind of service industry. In addition, since this incidental request work can be confirmed from the client side in the form of video, it becomes a highly reliable service. Established as a business combined with video distribution services.

  In addition, since Hanwa Shinkei is a common use in Buddhist denominations, it is also possible to ask a temple that provides images to actually raise the course. You can do this for an extra fee. Of course, if the sect is in agreement, you can get the sect of the sect. In the case of Shinto graves, of course, it is also possible to get a congratulatory word. In addition, by setting a set such as incense and donation on the entire surface of the received video, it is possible to make a shape that can actually be incense. You can prepare the gift by sending it to the site separately and confirm it by sending it as a video at a later date.

  Since this image can be recorded and saved on the server by taking advantage of the ability to record video, it can also be distributed using the Internet, and the grave visit record itself can also be stored. For example, the owner of can obtain a record of past grave visits for the past year, so that he can thank the grave visits at a later date.

In the case of celebrity graves, for example, there are 13 regrets, but there are cases where you want to attend but it is not always convenient. In this case, you can also convince yourself by visiting a remote grave. . Also, since this grave visit has a record of data, it is possible to report on who made the grave visit.
{The invention's effect}

  In this way, the grave visit itself was not established unless you had to bother to visit the site in the past, so it is possible to visit the grave in such a simple manner, so the connection of relatives using the place of Buddhism is strengthened The recognition of Buddhism itself is very different from the conventional one.

  For temples and shrines, it is easier to maintain the Dan family system because it can keep track of the people involved in the grave and ensure continuity.

If you don't visit the grave for a long period of time, even if you are unbelievable, you may get caught in one corner of your heart, and using such a system can create an effect that eliminates such stagnation. it can.
{Example 1}

Implementation was as follows. A camera was set up at the grave, a display was placed inside the temple, a scented incense stand was installed, and the grave was visited using the video. In this case, it was not so-called remote operation, but it was popular because it was rainy and it was possible to visit the grave in the room. If this display device is installed in another temple, remote tombs can be visited immediately.
There was also an evaluation that the monk's voice could be heard well even when asked to read the book because of the relatively large number of grave visits.

  Although what was taken as a video image of the state of the grave one month ago was displayed, at that time grass was growing and it was not cleaned, so it can be compared with the current state, the need for grave cleaning Recognized. In the future, it is considered that the recognition of the need to continue the grave guard even in cases other than the cluster bank and the day of death was obtained.
