第１本発明による効果
本発明においては、互いに近傍に存在する少なくとも２つの「ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」が、それぞれ、「ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」が伝達の主体となっているメッセージとを乗せた若しくは一体化した電波もくしは赤外線を、近距離無線でカバーする範囲内の近傍に存在する他の「ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」に、インターネットなどの公衆ネットワークを介すること無く直接に、届くように近距離無線により発信すると共に、各「他の「ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」から発信された前記電波等をインターネットなどの公衆ネットワークを介すること無く直接に近距離無線により受信するという構成（技術的思想）を採用しているので、「ユーザーから見ると、互いに近傍に居る「ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」同士が自然にコミュニケーション（情報の伝達）を開始し又は行っているかのような状態」が自動的に（ユーザーから見ると自然な形で）作出されるようになるため、このような「状態」が自動的に作出されることを通じて、たまたま近くに居合わせたユーザーたちに（特に、たまたま近くに居合わせた互いに知らないユーザーたちに）、互いのコミュニケーションを開始したり互いの交流を活発化するための「切っ掛け」を与えたり、前記コミュニケーションや交流を促進したりすることができる、ようになる。
以上のことを敷衍すると次のとおりである。本発明によれば、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」のユーザー同士（特にそれまでは互いに知らないユーザー同士）が、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」を「仲立ち・きっかけ」として、会話をしたり知り合いになることができるようになる。つまり、我々の日常生活では、「犬などの現実のペット」を「きっかけ」「仲立ち」として初対面の者同士が会話をしたり知り合いになることが多い。前記ではペットについて述べたが、ペットを介して知り合いになるのと同様に、子供同士を通じて知り合いになることも多い（幼児を公園に連れていって遊ばせている母親が、その公園にいた同じ年頃の幼児をもつ母親と知り合いになることは多い）。このように、本発明によれば、前記のペットや子供による「仲立ち」「きっかけ」の機能を、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」が担うことができる。よって、本発明によれば、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」に、新しい機能・役割（ユーザー同士のコミュニケーションの「仲立ち」をするという機能・役割）を付与し、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」を「コミュニケーションのためのツール」として活用することができる。よって、本発明によれば、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」の付加価値をより高め、「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」を「現実のペットなどの生物」（現実のペットなどの生物は、そのペットなどの所有者同士が、ペットなどを「きっかけ」に知り合いになったり会話をしたりして、ペットなどがユーザー同士の生身のコミュニケーションに寄与することが多い）により近づけること、ができる。
第２本発明の実施形態による効果
また、本発明の実施形態による「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」においては、近傍のエリアにある他の「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」に受信されるように、「近所で行われるイベントに関するお知らせ情報、新しく発売される商品・サービスの広告情報、地方自治体からの市政に関するお知らせなどの広報情報、政治的・社会的・宗教的意見の広告情報などのような、所定の広告・広報情報」を無線で送信するための広告情報送信手段と、近傍のエリアにある他の「移動機構を備えた、ペット型又は漫画等キャラクタ型ロボット」から無線で送信された前記広告情報を受信するための広告情報受信手段と付加するようにしてもよく、このようにしたときは、形態物を媒介として、口コミのように、近くに居る人たち、近くを通る人たちの間で、次々と広告・広報情報を伝えて行く「口コミ伝言板」「口コミ伝言ネットワーク」を形成できるようになる。 Advantages of the First Present Invention In the present invention, at least two “pet-type or cartoon character-type robots” that are present in the vicinity of each other are respectively transmitted by “pet-type or cartoon character-type robots”. A public network such as the Internet can be connected to other "pet-type or cartoon character-type robots" that exist in the vicinity of the range covered by short-range radio, with the radio wave comb that carries or is integrated with the message. Directly and without being routed, it is transmitted by short-range wireless so that it can reach, and the radio waves transmitted from each “other“ pet-type or cartoon character-type robot ”or the like are directly transmitted without going through a public network such as the Internet. because it uses constitute a (technical concept) that receives the short-range wireless, "user As seen from the user's view, it appears that “pet-type or cartoon character-type robots” that are in the vicinity of each other have started communication (information transmission) naturally. This “state” is automatically created so that users who happen to be in the vicinity (especially those who happen to be near each other and who do not know each other) ), It is possible to start communication with each other, to give “cutting” for activating mutual interaction, and to promote the communication and interaction .
The following is a summary of the above. According to the present invention, "comprising a moving mechanism, pet or cartoon like character robots" other users (especially between users who do not know each other until then) is provided with a "moving mechanism, pet or comics such as It becomes possible to have conversations and get acquainted with " Character Robot" as "Intermediate / Trigger". In other words, in our daily lives, people who meet for the first time often talk and become acquainted with “actual pets such as dogs” as “chock” and “middle”. In the above, pets were mentioned, but as with acquaintances via pets, acquaintances are often made through children (the same age that a mother who took an infant to the park and played it) I often get acquainted with a mother who has an infant.) As described above, according to the present invention, the “middle” and “trigger” functions of the pet and the child can be performed by the “ pet-type or cartoon character-type robot having a moving mechanism” . Therefore, according to the present invention, a new function / role (function / role for “meeting” communication between users) is added to the “ pet-type or cartoon character-type robot having a moving mechanism” . A “pet-type or cartoon character-type robot having a moving mechanism” can be used as a “communication tool”. Therefore, according to the present invention, "comprising a moving mechanism, pet or cartoon like character robots" more enhance the added value of "with a moving mechanism, pet or cartoon like character robot" and "real Pets and other creatures ”(actual pets and other creatures are known to have pet owners become acquainted with each other and have a conversation with each other. It often contributes to communication).
The effect of the second embodiment of the present invention In addition, in the “character type robot such as a pet type or cartoon such as a moving mechanism” according to the embodiment of the present invention, other “moving mechanism provided with a moving mechanism, As received by “Pet-type or cartoon character-type robots” , “information on events in the neighborhood, advertising information on newly released products and services, publicity information such as announcements about municipal administration from local governments, and politics Advertisement information transmission means for wirelessly transmitting predetermined advertisement / publicity information, such as advertisement information of social, social and religious opinions, and other “movement mechanisms” in the nearby area , It may be added with an advertisement information receiving means for receiving the advertisement information transmitted wirelessly from a “pet type or cartoon character type robot” . When you do it, the word-of-mouth message board and the word-of-mouth message network that communicate advertisements and publicity information one after another between people who are nearby and people who are passing nearby, such as reviews, using forms as a medium Can be formed.
