BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present inventionVirtual graveyard server and programEspecially with regard to internetVirtual graveyard server and programAbout.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Since ancient times, graves have been built to treat ancestors and deceased people, but there were many labors and labors for visiting the graves regularly by bereaved families. Therefore, an example of a grave visit system that reduces part of the labor and labor of such grave visit is disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-105615. This tomb visiting system stores various information necessary for visiting a tomb such as deceased data and family data in a storage means, and can read out and display on a display means under a certain condition. In addition, multimedia data such as tombstone images, the sound of the deceased, and readings are stored so that they can be read and viewed under certain conditions.
[0003]
However, this conventional grave visit system is basically nothing more than a computer system with paper record information, etc. stored at Bodaiji, Cemetery, etc. The problem of reciprocal movement was not solved. In particular, when the cemetery is located far away from the residence of the bereaved family, it was impossible to solve the problem that the time required for the round trip to the cemetery and the travel cost were high, and the burden of visiting the cemetery was extremely large.
[0004]
In addition, placing paper record information etc. on a computer system has the problem that although it is rationalization of office work for temples, cemeteries, etc. that manage cemeteries, it is difficult to incentivize the introduction of a computer system by itself.
[0005]
Therefore, the applicant of the present application has already proposed the “virtual grave visit system” in order to solve these problems all at once (see Japanese Patent Application Nos. 2000-221927 and 2000-242645).
[0006]
This virtual cemetery system includes a virtual graveyard server for storing gravestone images and a customer terminal connected to the virtual graveyard server via the Internet. By accessing the virtual graveyard server via the Internet from the customer terminal, A desired tombstone image is displayed on the terminal so that the user can virtually visit the grave.
[0007]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the above-mentioned virtual grave visit system, there is an explicit separation between the case where the customer only makes a grave visit at the customer terminal and the case where the grave visit agent is further requested to perform the grave visit after the virtual grave visit. Since it was not able to be performed, the grave visit was chosen on important days such as the date of death, Bon, and the bank, and the virtual grave visit was chosen on less important days. Depending on the situation, there was a problem that the grave visit and the virtual grave visit could not be used properly.
[0008]
In addition, since the customer has not been able to designate a grave attending agent or the like, there is a problem that the customer cannot request the grave attending agent or the like that he trusts to carry out the grave attending agent.
[0009]
Furthermore, it is assumed that there is a close relationship between the administrator of the virtual graveyard server and the grave attending agent, etc. There was a problem that it was necessary to ask and visit the grave.
[0010]
Furthermore, since the grave attending agents regularly refer to the history database of the virtual graveyard server and the grave attending agency is recorded, the grave attending agency conducts the grave attending agency. There was a problem that it took time and the grave visit could not be performed quickly.
[0011]
The first object of the present invention is to allow the customer to properly use the grave visit and the virtual grave visit according to the importance of the grave visit date in view of the above points.Virtual graveyard serverIs to provide.
[0012]
In addition, the second object of the present invention is to allow a customer to designate a grave attending agency in advance.Virtual graveyard serverIs to provide.
