The database stores the name of an applicant who desires to receive the news of someone's death and, in association with the applicant, the name of a person (target person) whose death news is desired to be received. Retrieval is performed for not only the applicant regarding the deceased person as a target person but also the applicant regarding the deceased person's closest family member as a target person (S140). They are displayed (S140). Among them, an appropriate person is selected (S150) and news of someone's death is sent to this person (S160).

Description

  The present invention relates to a notification system.

  It is not easy to obtain information about a person who is important to you by simply looking at the information column in the newspaper. If you do not notice the intelligence, you will be greatly disappointed, especially if it is a very important person. Therefore, a system for automatically distributing intelligence has been proposed in order to reliably acquire intelligence or reduce labor for obtaining intelligence.

  For example, the following Patent Document 1 includes a database storing keywords together with names of persons who want to distribute information, and who has entered the deceased's information at the time of the event, and who has matched the information with the keywords stored in the database. An information distribution system that distributes information is disclosed.

Japanese Patent No. 36766649

  Typical examples of keywords used in the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 are a company (organization) belonging to, an address, a hometown, a home university (a home school), and the like. However, there is an example in which a person who should send intelligence is not searched in a search using such a keyword. As an example of this, there may be a case where a person important for himself and his / her own company (group), address, hometown, home university (school), etc. are not the same. The above system does not send intelligence to a person who has a relationship with the deceased for some other reason, even though his company (group), address, hometown, or university (school) is different from the deceased. .

  Also, if the person important to you is in the same school as you, for example, if the person died, the above system will give you intelligence, but if the close relative of the important person died, In most cases, you will not receive intelligence, because your company (group), address, hometown, or university (school) will not be the same. However, there seems to be a strong desire to get intelligence even if a close relative of a person important to him dies.

  These examples are examples in which no intelligence is transmitted in a keyword search related to the deceased for a person to whom intelligence is to be transmitted. In these examples, it is desirable to develop a system that can reliably notify a person who wants to receive information.

  Therefore, in view of the above, the problem to be solved by the present invention is a notification system in which intelligence is surely notified to individuals and corporations that are not searched by keyword search related to the deceased even though intelligence should be notified. Is to provide.

  In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the notification system according to the present invention includes information on names of a plurality of members who wish to receive intelligence, and objects associated with the individual members that the member wishes to receive intelligence. The storage means for storing the name information of the target person who is the person of the person, the acquisition means for acquiring the name information of the deceased and the relative of the deceased predetermined relative, and the deceased and relatives acquired by the acquisition means Search means for searching for the member having at least one person as the target person among the members stored in the storage means. According to the present invention, since it is not a keyword search related to the deceased, a member whose deceased is not the same place of birth or school can receive intelligence. In addition, members whose target person is not the deceased but the relatives of the deceased are also searched. For example, even if the family of a person important to you is a deceased, you can receive the intelligence and lose your thanks. can avoid.

  In addition, a display means for displaying the member searched by the search means together with the target person stored in association with the member in the storage means, and intelligence from the members displayed by the display means. Selecting means for receiving an input for selecting a member to be transmitted may be provided. According to the present invention, since the searched members are displayed just in case and the members to whom the information can be transmitted are selected, the possibility of notifying the irrelevant members of the information can be reduced.

  The storage means also stores supplemental information for distinguishing and identifying the target person from persons with the same surname and the same name, and the display means together with the target person supplements the target person who is the reason for the search. Information may also be displayed. According to the present invention, it is possible to select only appropriate members from the search results by using supplementary information.

  Moreover, it is good also as providing the creation means which creates the text of intelligence by incorporating the said subject person linked | related with the member searched by the said search means, and memorize | stored in the said memory | storage means. According to the present invention, it is possible to immediately understand how the member who received the intelligence has been sent the intelligence.

  In addition, when an incident occurs, a sub-acquisition means for obtaining information on the name of the deceased relative and at least the name of the deceased's funeral, and the name of the deceased relative obtained by the sub-acquisition means And a sub-storage means for storing the names of the attendees acquired by the sub-acquisition means as the target person in the storage means. According to the present invention, since it is possible to receive intelligence when a person who attends the funeral of his / her relative becomes in the opposite position, loss of gratitude can be avoided.

  The acquisition means may include second acquisition means for acquiring information on the name of the deceased relative's relative from a family register database notified to the administrative agency. According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a system for transmitting intelligence by effectively using the family register information notified to the administrative organization.

  The acquisition means may include third acquisition means for acquiring information on the name of the deceased from a database of death information reported to the administrative agency. According to the present invention, it is possible to construct a system for transmitting intelligence by effectively using information on death reported to an administrative organization.

  Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an embodiment of a notification system of the present invention. 1 includes a server device 2 (server), a staff information input terminal 3 (terminal), a member terminal 4 (terminal), and a mail server 5. These are connected to an existing communication network 6 (telephone network, Internet network).

  The affairs information input terminal 3 is a terminal device for inputting various information when an affair occurs. The affairs information input terminal 3 may be, for example, a terminal arranged at a funeral company contracted with the system 1. The member terminal 4 is a terminal device for a member who has joined the system 1 to input his / her information or receive e-mail. The members of the system 1 are individuals, corporations, and the like who wish to automatically receive intelligence from the system.

  In the system 1 of FIG. 1, a server 2 is a server for intelligence transmission processing in the present invention, and includes a program and a database for intelligence transmission. The server 2 may be configured as a web server. The server 2 includes a normal computer structure, that is, a CPU 20 and a memory 21. The CPU 20 manages all information processing functions in the server 2 such as various calculations and command transmission.

  The memory 21 includes a RAM that is a volatile storage unit as a work area of the CPU 20 and a non-volatile storage unit that stores various data and programs necessary for information processing in the CPU 20. The memory 21 stores a program 210, a database 211, and a search program 212 in relation to the present invention. The program 210 is a program that manages processing related to the present invention, which will be described later. The program 210 may include a program for functioning as a web server, a program for managing information in / out of the database, and the like.

  The terminal 3 (and 4) also includes a normal computer structure, that is, a CPU 30 (40), a memory 31 (41), a display unit 32 (42), and an input unit 33 (43). The CPU 30 (40) is responsible for overall information processing in the terminal 3 (4). The memory 31 (41) includes a RAM that is a volatile storage unit as a work area of the CPU 30 (40) and a non-volatile storage unit that stores various data and programs necessary for information processing in the CPU 30 (40). Prepare.

  The memory 31 (41) particularly stores a browser 310 (410) for browsing the web page of the server 2. The display unit 32 (42) is composed of a liquid crystal display, for example, and displays information necessary for various processes of the present invention for the user. The input unit 33 (43) includes existing input devices such as keys (character keys and numeric keys), a mouse, and a touch pad, and accepts various inputs from the user.

  The mail server 5 has a well-known structure and function regarding transmission / reception of mail via the communication network 6. The terminals 3 and 4 may be, for example, a personal computer (desktop type, notebook type, tablet type, etc.) or a portable information terminal (mobile phone, smartphone, etc.). In FIG. 1, the terminals 3 and 4 are connected to the communication network 6 by wire, but may be connected wirelessly.

  A member of the system 1 accesses the web page of the server 2 from his / her terminal 4 using the browser 410, and inputs various information about himself / herself on the page. The input information becomes information used for determining whether or not the server 2 sends intelligence to the member when an incident occurs. One specific example of the member information input processing procedure is shown in FIG. A portion of the processing procedure in FIG. 2 that is automatically processed by the server 2 is described in the program 210 and may be processed automatically by the CPU 20.

  In the process of FIG. 2, first, in S <b> 10, the member of the system starts the browser 410 on the member terminal 4 and accesses the server 2. When the server 2 receives this access, the CPU 20 sends an html file for forming and displaying the member input web page of the present invention to the member terminal 4 according to the program 210. In the member terminal 4 that has acquired the html file, the CPU 40 displays a member input web page on the display unit 42.

  Next, after S20, the member uses the input unit 43 to input various information regarding the e-mail recipient (member) to the displayed member input web page. First, in S20, the member inputs the name of the person who wants to receive intelligence. Next, in S30, the member inputs the address, work place, and e-mail address of the e-mail recipient.

  In S40, the member inputs the target person for the e-mail recipient. The target person is a person who wants to receive intelligence. For example, if the target person of Mr. A who wants to receive intelligence is Mr. B, the intelligence is transmitted to Mr. A when Mr. B passes away. This is what Mr. A desires. As shown in FIG. 3, a plurality of target persons may be input to one person who wants to receive intelligence.

  Next, in S50, the member inputs supplementary explanation regarding the target person input in S40. The supplementary explanation is information for distinguishing the target person from the person with the same surname and the same name and accurately identifying the target person. As will be described later, this supplementary explanation avoids sending intelligence to unrelated persons. How the supplementary explanation is specifically used will be described later. The input format of the supplementary explanation may be a text input in an arbitrary format, for example.

  The information input from S20 to S50 is sent to the server 2 via the communication network and stored in the database 211 by the CPU 20. An example of the storage structure in the database 211 is shown in FIG. The above is the processing procedure of FIG. By performing this procedure for each member, information on who wants to receive intelligence when the person dies is registered (stored) in the database 211. Note that the processing procedure of FIG. 2 is always accepted by the server 2 so that the information on the e-mail recipient can be updated to the latest information.

  In addition, as described above, e-mail recipients are not limited to individuals (natural persons), and may include corporations and organizations. In that case, it is only necessary to make it possible to omit procedures that are not suitable for corporations or organizations, such as input of work place in the above.

  Next, FIG. 4 shows an example of a procedure that the system 1 processes when an incident occurs. The part of the processing procedure shown in FIG. 4 that is automatically processed by the server 2 is described in the program 210 and may be processed automatically by the CPU 20.

  In the process of FIG. 4, first, a personnel information input person in charge (hereinafter, person in charge) starts the browser 310 on the personnel information input terminal 3 to access the server 2 in S100. Here, the person in charge may be, for example, a person in charge of each funeral company where the terminal 3 is arranged.

  When the server 2 receives this access, the CPU 20 transmits to the terminal 3 an html file for forming and displaying the web page for inputting the personnel information of the present invention according to the program 210. In the terminal 3 that has acquired the html file, the CPU 30 displays a web page for entering the affair information on the display unit 32. An example of the display is shown in FIG.

  In step S110, the person in charge inputs the name of the deceased using the input unit 33 on the displayed page. In S120, the person in charge inputs the name of the deceased close relative (relative). In the display example of FIG. 5, male and female are displayed next to the input field for the name of the deceased (for example, Mr. A1), and the spouse is next to the input field for the names of relatives (for example, Mr. A2, Mr. A3, etc.). , Brothers and sisters, parents, children, etc., and a region 320 displaying a check column beside them. The person in charge inputs the relationship between the gender of the deceased and the deceased of the close relative by checking the check column using the input unit 33.

  Next, in step S130, the person in charge starts the search by operating (clicking) the search start button displayed in FIG. 5, for example. As a result, the search program 212 is executed, and a search based on the names of the deceased and close relatives input in S110 and S120 is performed in the database 211. FIG. 6 schematically shows how the search is performed. In this example, Mr. B1, Mr. B2, and Mr. B3 are hit as intelligence recipients who wish to receive at least one of the deceased Mr. A1 or their close relatives Mr. A2 and Mr. A3 entered in FIG. Yes.

  Next, in S <b> 140, the CPU 20 transmits the search result to the terminal 3, and the terminal 3 displays the result on the display unit 32. FIG. 7 shows an example of the display. The example of FIG. 7 corresponds to the example of FIG. 6, and the persons (Mr. B1, Mr. B2, Mr. B3, etc.) who hit in the search executed in S130 are displayed as intelligence transmission candidates. In the display example of FIG. 7, the name of the e-mail transmission candidate, its address, work place, and e-mail address are displayed, and the person who is the reason why the e-mail transmission candidate hit the search is displayed.

  In the example of FIG. 6, Mr. B1 hit because Mr. A2 was included in Mr. B1's target person. Similarly, Mr. B2 and Mr. B3 were hit among Mr. B2's target person. This is because Mr. A3 was included in Mr. B3's subject person. Corresponding to this, in FIG. 7, Mr. A2, Mr. A3, and Mr. A1 are displayed as the persons of the hit reasons of Mr. B1, Mr. B2, and Mr. B3. In addition, a column “Description of Left Person” is displayed beside Mr. A2, Mr. A3, and Mr. A1. In this column, supplementary explanations of Mr. A2, Mr. A3, and Mr. A1 input in S50 of FIG. 2 are displayed. This display is effectively used in the next S150.

  In S150, the person in charge selects a person who can actually transmit intelligence from the candidates for intelligence transmission displayed in S140. Specifically, for example, in the display example of FIG. 7, the “Left Person Description” column is checked, and whether the hit reasoning person is really a close relative of the deceased or simply a person with the same name and the same name. It is judged whether it is a person. This determination may be made, for example, by a deceased person who has seen the display of FIG.

  Based on the judgment, the person in charge selects the person who should actually send the intelligence information among the displayed information transmission candidates (that is, the person whose hit person is a close relative of the deceased), and the check box next to it. Check 321. Then, for example, the determination button displayed in FIG. 7 is clicked. By executing the procedure of S150, persons unrelated to the deceased relative are surely excluded.

  In S160, the CPU 20 automatically transmits an e-mail (information e-mail) containing e-mail information via the mail server 5 to the e-mail sender selected in S150. The text of the e-mail may be automatically created by the program 210 from the contents input above. Alternatively, in S160, the automatically created text may be temporarily displayed on the display unit 32 so that the person in charge (or the close relative of the deceased) can correct it.

  FIG. 8 shows an example of an e-mail message text and a display example thereof. This example is an example of an e-mail message sent to Mr. B1 corresponding to the example of FIG. 7, prior to the column 324 for inserting the name of the deceased, the column 322 for inserting the name of the reason for the hit, and the deceased There is a description of a column 323 for inserting a relationship with the person of the hit reason.

  By this description, the person who received the intelligence can immediately understand how the intelligence has been sent to him. Note that the words to be inserted into the column 323 may be automatically calculated by the program 210 from the input to the column 320 described above. Then, following the deceased's name, by providing a column 325 for inserting a standard sentence of intelligence, intelligence is automatically created. When it is desired to correct the sentence created in this way, the display content may be corrected using, for example, the input unit 33.

  The above is the processing procedure of FIG. By this procedure, when an incident occurs, not only a member who has a direct relationship with the deceased but also a member who has a relationship with the deceased relative can promptly transmit the intelligence to those who wish to receive the intelligence.

  FIG. 2 shows an example of input of information related to a person who wants to receive intelligence. In the present invention, as an example of input of information related to a person who wants to receive intelligence, when a funeral is held, a close relative of the deceased There is a form in which a person who wants to receive intelligence is input as a person who wants to receive intelligence, and a person who participates in a funeral as a target person of the person who wants to receive intelligence. In this way, as a courtesy to the person who attended the funeral of his close relatives, if an incident occurred in the close relative of that person, he would like to attend the funeral this time and express his allegiance We can meet your needs.

  An example of the specific procedure is shown in FIG. The procedure of FIG. 9 may be incorporated into the program 210, for example. Since this procedure may be performed at the time of the funeral, in the form in which the terminal 3 is arranged at the funeral company as described above, from the viewpoint of convenience, it is not performed at the terminal 4 (by the member) but at the terminal 3 (of the funeral company). It may be done by the person in charge). Hereinafter, an example in which the person in charge performs at the terminal 3 will be described.

  In the procedure of FIG. 9, the person in charge first inputs the name of the deceased using the input unit 32 in S200. In step S210, the person in charge inputs the name and e-mail address of the deceased relative, and in step S220, the name of the funeral attendant is input. In response to these inputs, the CPU 20 sets the name of the close relative inputted in S210 as the name of the e-mail recipient (member). Then, the name of the attendee entered in S220 is set as the name of the target person of the e-mail recipient.

  In S230, the CPU 20 automatically sets supplementary explanation. Specifically, when the deceased is Mr. A, “Mr. A's attendee at the funeral” may be used. In S240, the CPU 20 stores the above input content in the database 211. That is, the name of the deceased relative entered in S210 is stored in the database 211 as the information requesting person, the participant name input in S220 is the target person, and the supplementary explanation of each target person is created in S230. To do.

  The above is the processing procedure of FIG. If this procedure is combined with the process shown in FIG. 4 above, it is possible to receive intelligence when there is an incident with a person who attends the funeral of his / her relative or his / her family. In addition, the part described as a participant in the above is not limited to this, You may extend to the person who showed allegiance by a certain form, such as a telegraph, a flower, an incense. Further, when a company or organization shows an allegation, for example, the representative name may be input in S220.

  The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. A modification will be described below. In the system 1a of the modification 1 shown by FIG. 10, the intelligence is automatically transmitted using the death report data and family register data which the administrative organization has.

  The system 1a includes servers 7 and 8 in addition to the server 2, the terminal devices 3 and 4 and the mail server 5 similar to those in FIG. As a basic embodiment of the system 1a, the servers 2, 7, 8 and the terminal 3 are arranged in administrative agencies (national government agencies, local government offices in various places, etc.). The server 2 is arranged in the administrative institution and performs intelligence transmission processing in the same manner as the server 2 in FIG. 1, but the details of the processing are different as will be described later. The program 213 stored in the server 2 is a program describing the overall processing in the server 2 in this embodiment.

  The server 7 is a server that acquires and manages family register data. The server 8 is a server that acquires and manages death report data. The server 7 (8) includes a normal computer structure, that is, a CPU 70 (80) and a memory 71 (81). The CPU 70 (80) governs overall information processing in the server 7 (8). The memory 71 (81) includes a RAM that is a volatile storage unit as a work area of the CPU 70 (80), and a nonvolatile storage unit that stores various data and programs necessary for information processing in the CPU 70 (80). Prepare. In particular, the memory 71 stores a family register data database 710. The memory 81 also stores a death report data database 810.

  Unlike the terminal device of the funeral company in FIG. 1, the terminal 3 may be a terminal device for administrative business, which is provided for an administrative organization and is not limited to the affairs information input process. Further, the system 1a is not necessarily limited to the membership system, and may be an e-mail transmission service widely provided to the public as part of the administrative service. Therefore, in that case, the terminal 4 is not limited to the member terminal. Each member (or an individual, a corporation, an organization, etc. in the case of a non-membership system) uses the terminal 4 to input information similar to that shown in FIG. . As a result, the database 211 is created in the server 2. In this case, the supplementary explanation may be information that can uniquely identify the target person, for example, a permanent address.

  The system 1a in FIG. 10 differs from the system in FIG. 1 in that the data of the family register and death report of the servers 7 and 8 are used. FIG. 11 shows an example of a specific processing procedure. The processing performed in the server 2 in the processing procedure of FIG. 11 is described in the program 213, and the CPU 20 may call it and automatically process it.

  In the processing procedure of FIG. 11, first, in step S300, for example, a person in charge of the administrative organization inputs death report data to the terminal 3. The content to be entered should include at least the name of the deceased and the permanent address. The input data is sent to the server 8 and accumulated in the death report data database 810. Upon receiving the deceased person information input in S300, the CPU 80 of the server 8 transmits (or transfers) the death report data to the server 2 in the subsequent S310. The server 2 acquires death report data, that is, information such as the name of the deceased.

  In step S <b> 320, the CPU 20 of the server 2 acquires information (names and the like) of the deceased relative from the family register data database 710 of the server 7. At that time, it is only necessary to acquire information on relatives of a predetermined relationship as seen from the deceased. In S330, the CPU 20 of the server 2 uses the search program 212 to execute a search in the same manner as in S130 described above. That is, the database 211 is searched for an educator who wants to receive at least one of the deceased acquired in S310 and the close relative acquired in S320.

  As described above, when the supplementary information in the database 211 is information (such as a permanent domicile) that can uniquely identify the target person, in the search in S330, the person with the same name and the same name as the person acquired in S310 and S320 using the supplementary information The process of removing people is also performed. As a result, only those who wish to receive intelligence targeting the deceased person and their close relatives are obtained as search results in S330. Finally, in S340, the CPU 20 of the server 2 transmits the intelligence mail to the transmission destination obtained as a result of the search in S330. At that time, the intelligence text may be automatically created as described above. The above is the processing procedure of FIG. In this embodiment, automatic distribution of intelligence can be performed by effectively utilizing the information notified to the administrative organization and managed.

  Next, the modification 2 shown by FIG. 12 is demonstrated. The system 1b of FIG. 12 is a form in which the personnel information input terminal 3 is omitted from the system configuration of FIG. In this embodiment, the member performs the above-described processing that has been performed by the affairs information input terminal 3 using the member terminal 4. Accordingly, the display contents shown in FIGS. 5 and 7 are also displayed on the display unit 42. In this form, it is possible to construct a system in which the member information is inputted between the members and the intelligence is transmitted.

  The above embodiments may be appropriately changed within the scope of the gist of the claims. For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 1, it is described that the affairs information input terminal 3 is arranged at the funeral company, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the affairs information such as a medical institution may be obtained. Further, the present invention may be in a form in which emphasis is placed on clarifying the transmission destination of intelligence. In that form, the e-mail transmission process is not limited to the above e-mail, and any other notification form (telegram, telephone, etc.) may be used.
