<Operation>
From here, the operation of the funeral support device 100 will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the funeral support device 100 presents information related to the crematorium and the sanctuary as information related to the funeral to the user.

  As illustrated in FIG. 5, the communication unit 110 of the funeral support device 100 receives target person information regarding a target person who performs the funeral from the user terminal 200 via the network 300. That is, the reception unit 111 of the communication unit 110 receives input of target person information (step S501). Then, the receiving unit 111 transmits the received target person information to the control unit 120.

  When receiving the target person information, the first recommendation unit 121 of the control unit 120 extracts the position information indicating the position of the target person or the position information indicating the place where the funeral is performed, which is included in the target person information (step S502). .

  The 1st recommendation part 121 specifies the crematorium which exists in the predetermined range (for example, 10 km area) from the position shown by the positional information extracted from object person information (step S503). Specifically, the distance between the position indicated by the position information extracted from the target person information and the position indicated by the place 302 of each cremation information is calculated, and the crematorium where the distance is equal to or less than a predetermined distance is calculated. Identify. In addition, the 1st recommendation part 121 expands the said range only by predetermined distance, and cremations again when the crematorium does not exist within the predetermined range from the position shown by the positional information extracted from object person information. Explore the place.

  The 1st recommendation part 121 extracts the information regarding the date contained in object person information (date of an object person's death date or the date which wants to perform a funeral) among the crematoriums identified in step S503. Then, the first recommendation unit 121 specifies a crematorium that is a date in the vicinity of the extracted date and is a date after the current date and time and that has a vacancy in the schedule information 304 (step S504). The 1st recommendation part 121 shall judge according to whether the date and time with a vacancy can take time for cremation. That is, for example, if the time required for cremation is 1 hour, a cremation hall having an hour of free space within the business hours of the cremation hall is specified. Here, the 1st recommendation part 121 is good also as specifying one crematorium, and good also as specifying a some crematory. When narrowing down to one crematorium, the crematorium closest to the position information of the subject who has a vacancy in the schedule may be specified.

  Next, the 2nd recommendation part 122 specifies the cemetery which exists in the predetermined range (for example, within 5 km) from the said cremation ground about each cremation ground specified in step S504 (step S505). In other words, the second recommendation unit 122 identifies a place where the distance between the position indicated by the cremation place 302 identified in step S504 and the position indicated by each place 402 is a predetermined distance or less. . The second recommendation unit 122 expands the predetermined range to specify the place when there is no place within the predetermined range set in advance.

  The second recommendation unit 122 extracts the religious information included in the target person information (step S506). Here, the religion information is information related to the religion that the subject of the funeral believes, and is information for specifying the religion in which the funeral is performed.

  The second recommendation unit 122 identifies a place where the funeral in the religion indicated by the religious information extracted in step S506 can be performed among the places designated in step S505 (step S507). That is, in the temple database 132, the temple including the religious information extracted from the subject information is specified as the religion 404.

  The 2nd recommendation part 122 extracts the attendance planned number of persons who are going to attend the funeral next included in subject information (step S508).

  And the 2nd recommendation part 122 pinpoints the place which can accommodate the extracted attendance planned number of persons among the lotions specified in step S507 (step S509).

  When the second recommendation unit 122 identifies a place where the expected number of attendees can be accommodated, the control unit 120 obtains information about the crematorium identified by the first recommendation unit 121 and information about the place designated by the second recommendation unit 122. In addition to instructing the communication unit 110 to transmit the information to the user terminal 200 that has transmitted the target person information, the information regarding the crematorium and the information regarding the cemetery are transmitted. Here, the information regarding the crematorium may include the name of the crematorium, the location, the contact information, the address of the web page, and the like, and may be acquired from the crematorium database 131. Similarly, the information about the temple may include the name, location, contact information, web page address, etc. of the temple, and may be acquired from the temple database 132. The communication unit 110 transmits the transmitted information related to the crematorium and the information related to the cemetery to the user terminal 200 via the network 300 in accordance with an instruction from the control unit 120 (step S510).

  Thereby, in the user terminal 200, the information regarding the crematorium or the sanctuary suitable for the subject of the funeral is displayed, for example, as shown in FIG.

  In this way, the funeral support device 100 can recommend information related to the crematorium or the sanctuary to the user. The user can obtain information on an appropriate crematorium and a sanctuary simply by inputting information on a subject to be funeral and transmitting it to the funeral support device 100, so it is suitable for performing a funeral in a short time. You can get a crematorium and a sanctuary.

  FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an operation example when the funeral support device 100 reserves a crematorium or a place. A user who views information related to a funeral hall or a sanctuary may make a reservation for a funeral hall or a sanctuary from his / her user terminal 200. In this case, you may comprise so that reservation may be performed by touching and determining the crematorium information and the place information transmitted from the funeral hall assistance apparatus 100. In this case, the funeral support device 100 operates as follows.

  The communication unit 110 of the funeral support device 100 receives a reservation request for a crematorium or a sanctuary (step S601). The communication unit 110 transmits the received reservation request to the control unit 120. The reservation request includes at least information that can identify either the cremation hall or the sanctuary, and information on the date and time at which cremation or funeral is desired. In addition, information on the number of participants and budget may be included.

  The reservation unit 123 of the control unit 120 extracts information on at least one of the crematorium and the sanctuary and information on the date and time at which cremation or funeral is desired from the received reservation request (step S602).

  Next, the reservation unit 123 generates reservation information indicating that the cremation or funeral is to be performed at the extracted date and time, and transmits the reservation information to the terminal corresponding to the extracted crematorium or the sanctuary, and transmits it to the communication unit 110 ( Step S603). The communication unit 110 transmits the reservation information to the designated crematorium or the sanctuary via the network 300. The terminal of the crematorium or the sanctuary that received the reservation information or the operator performs reservation setting when the date and time can be secured according to the reservation content. Then, reservation approval information indicating that a reservation has been made is transmitted to the funeral support device 100. On the other hand, if the reservation cannot be made, reservation unapproved information indicating that the reservation could not be made is transmitted.

  The communication unit 110 receives reservation approval information or reservation disapproval information from a terminal corresponding to the crematorium or the sanctuary. The communication unit 110 transmits the received information to the control unit 120.

  The reservation unit 123 of the control unit 120 determines whether or not the received information is reservation approval information (step S604). If the received information is reservation approval information (YES in step S604), reservation confirmation information indicating that the reservation is confirmed is generated, and the communication unit 110 is instructed to be transmitted to the user terminal 200. Receiving this, the communication part 110 transmits reservation confirmation information to the user terminal 200 (step S605), and complete | finishes.

  On the other hand, if the received information is not reservation approval information (NO in step S604), that is, if it is reservation non-approval information, the reservation of the designated crematorium or the temple is made at the date and time specified in the reservation request. Reservation impossible information indicating that is not possible is generated, and cremation information or recommendation information recommending other cremation grounds or funerals is generated, transmitted to the communication unit 110, and the process ends.

  Thereby, in the funeral support system, not only provision of information related to the funeral but also reservation of services necessary for the funeral can be performed.
