Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an animal care system utilizing a reading terminal such as a microchip reader.

Currently, pet animals such as dogs and cats sold at breeders and pet shops are required to be microchipped. Information such as a 15-digit number (ISO standard individual identification number) is recorded on microchips attached to pets. Owner information is to be registered.

For this reason, when pets such as dogs and cats with microchips are purchased from breeders, pet shops, etc., or received from animal protection groups, etc., the database of the designated registration organization will be updated based on the microchips. Procedures for changing to the registration information of the new owner of the purchaser or transferee are required.

By the way, in order to read the microchip attached to the pet, a dedicated microchip reader is required. In other words, the information (individual identification number) recorded on the microchip cannot be read without a dedicated microchip reader. Since the microchip itself is in the form of a very small thin capsule, it is not possible to determine whether or not the pet has a microchip by just looking at it. You can judge.

Therefore, unless the individual identification number is confirmed by a microchip reader at the time of handover, despite the fact that pet animals such as dogs and cats sold at breeders and pet shops are obligated to be microchipped, Pets are sold without a microchip installed, or even though the owner does not have a pet, the microchip registration card is forged and fictitiously registered in the database of a designated registration agency. and other issues are of concern.

It is an explanatory view explaining a schematic structure of the present invention. FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the configuration of an animal biological information storage computer; 1 is a flowchart (1) showing the details of an authentication method of the present invention; 2 is a flowchart (2) showing the details of the authentication method of the present invention;

The configuration of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
First, FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the basic configuration of the present invention. Numeral 1 indicates a customer's communication terminal. By using the communication terminal 1, animal biological information of a predetermined animal is registered in an animal biological information storage computer 3 via a communication line 2 such as the Internet. The communication terminal 1 is, for example, a terminal having a communication function such as a PC, a tablet, or a mobile phone. A customer is a user of this system, such as an animal owner, an animal-related facility, or a local government.

Here, animal biological information (life log information) of animals includes, for example, rabies injection, vaccine injection, blood test, genetic test, other tests, surgery, prescription, hospitalization, discharge, childbirth, birth, license, insurance, food/ Records of events and information important to the living body of pets and animals, such as supplements, microchip installation, owner registration, owner change, various certificates, medical history, and death.

Then, as described above, the communication terminal 1 accesses the animal biological information storage computer 3 via the communication line 2, and the animal biological information of the predetermined animal is registered in the animal biological information storage computer 3. FIG.

Here, the animal biological information storage computer 3 is configured to have a web control processing section 4, an application control processing section 5 and a data storage section 6 (see FIG. 1). The web control processing unit 4 or the application control processing unit 5 is a control processing unit that registers the animal biological information of a predetermined animal to which the animal biological information extracting chip 13 is attached and performs update control.

Reference numeral 14 in FIG. 1 denotes an animal basic information computer in which basic animal information such as owner information and animal information associated with the animal biological information extraction chip 13 is registered and stored. The basic animal information computer 14 is configured to transmit and receive basic animal information such as owner information and animal information to and from the communication terminal 1 or the animal biometric information storage computer 3 via the communication line 2. It is configured as a so-called data server that can store and view the information. Therefore, not only is the basic animal information of the predetermined animal to which the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is attached to be initially registered, but also, if there is a situation to update it after that, it can be updated via the communication line 2 after the update. is reflected in the animal basic information computer 14 and stored.

Here, the animal basic information includes an ID number (for example, a microchip ID number) of a chip for extracting animal biological information attached to a predetermined animal, animal species, sex, date of birth, chip for extracting animal biological information (for example, a microchip). (chip) implant date, ownership date, animal name, and the like.

Next, reference numeral 15 designates a reading terminal. The reading terminal 15 is configured as a terminal for reading information recorded in the animal biological information extraction chip 13 attached to the predetermined animal. As the reading terminal 15, for example, a microchip reader or the like is used.

By the way, in the present invention, when the reading terminal 15 reads information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information attached to a predetermined animal, the read information, for example, a 15-digit number (ISO standard individual identification number) (ID)) can be transmitted to the customer's communication terminal 1 through a wireless communication function (for example, bluetooth (registered trademark)). The data transmitted to the communication terminal 1 is configured to be transmitted to the animal basic information computer 14 and/or the animal biological information storage computer 3 using an application installed in the communication terminal 1 .

In the conventional reading terminal 15, the read information is displayed on the display of the reading terminal 15 only. Therefore, the displayed information is further transmitted to a necessary place, for example, the basic animal information computer 14 or the animal biometric information storage computer 3, etc., and when the animal to which the chip is attached is collated, the customer's communication is performed. Using the terminal 1 or the like, the data must be manually entered again.

Therefore, when collating the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information attached to a predetermined animal with the data stored in the animal basic information computer 14 and the animal biological information storage computer 3, the numbers are checked one by one. However, it is necessary to manually input the data accurately.

Then, there is a possibility that a 15-digit number (ISO standard individual identification number (ID)), for example, different from that of the predetermined animal to which the animal biometric information extracting chip 13 is attached, may be entered by mistake or intentionally.

However, the above-mentioned manual input work and collation work not only take time and effort, but also may cause input errors due to mistakes or intentionally, and the accuracy of the chip-equipped animal may be compromised. Therefore, there is a concern that it will not be possible to carry out accurate collation work.

Therefore, in the animal management system of the present invention, the reading terminal 15 reads the information recorded in the animal biological information extraction chip 13, and the read information is directly transmitted to the customer's communication terminal 1, for example, through the wireless communication function, The transmitted data is configured to be sent from the communication terminal 1 to the animal basic information computer 14 and/or the animal biological information storage computer 3 via the transmission application.

Therefore, the data of the animal biological information extracting chip 13 attached to the predetermined animal can be collated with the data stored in the animal biological information storage computer 3 as it is, and further with the data stored in the animal basic information computer 14. be.
As a result, input operation of wrong information by mistake or intentionally is prevented, and the accuracy of collation work can be ensured.

Next, the application control processor 5 in the animal biological information storage computer 3 will be described with reference to FIG. The configuration of the web control processing device 4 performs the same control processing as the configuration of the application control processing device 5 .

The application control processing device 5 includes a receiving section 7b, a transmitting section 8b, a control section 9b, a display section 10b, and an input section 11b. That is, when a customer logs in from a dedicated application via the communication line 2 such as the Internet, the reception section 7b of the application control processing section 5 receives the data, and the control section 9b controls and processes the data.

The customer's operation is input through the input unit 11b, the customer's input is reflected on the display unit 10b, and the information displayed on the display unit 10b is transmitted to the customer's communication terminal 1 via the transmission unit 8b, It will be displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 1 of the customer.

Further, the control section 9b has a check section 12b. This check section 12b is a section where a customer inputs animal biometric information of a predetermined animal and checks whether or not there is a mistake in the input contents of the input animal biometric information.

In the check unit 12b, when animal biometric information of a predetermined animal attached with the animal basic information storage chip 13 stored in the data storage unit 6 (to be described later) is newly added, it is stored in the animal basic information computer 14. The basic animal information of the animal to which the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information is attached and the newly added animal biological information of the predetermined animal stored in the data storage unit 6 are collated with each other to check suitability. Also a part.

When the animal basic information of the predetermined animal stored in the animal basic information computer 14 is added or the owner information is updated, the check unit 12b checks the added animal basic information or updated owner information. It is also possible to compare the person information with the animal biological information of the predetermined animal stored in the data storage unit 6 and check the suitability.

By checking suitability in the check unit 12b, suitability of the animal biological information regarding the predetermined animal to which the animal biological information extracting chip 13 is attached can be examined and confirmed via the communication line 2, for example. It should be noted that the method of checking the input content performed by the checking section 12b is not limited to the above content.

By the way, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the animal biological information storage computer 3 has a data storage section 6 .
The data storage unit 6 collectively stores data such as the already explained customer's own information and animal biological information (life log information) for each predetermined animal. In other words, when the customer additionally registers animal biological information (life log information) such as animal vaccination information, for example, through the web control processing unit 4 or the application control processing unit 5, the information is available to the owner of the animal. It is stored in the data storage unit 6 in a state of being linked to a certain customer.

When the customer accesses or logs in with an account created by setting e-mail address and password and registering predetermined registration items, the animal biometric information (life log information) of the animal stored in the data storage unit 6 is accessed or logged in. can be retrieved and viewed.

Here, regarding the new registration of a predetermined animal and the registration of animal biometric information, the registration contents are confirmed and examined via the check unit 12a or 12b, and if there are no errors or problems in the contents of the input information, it is approved. Only animal biometric information is officially registered in the ledger of this system. That is, the information (data) whose registered contents are checked and examined via the check unit 12a or 12b is registered in a plurality of fraud prevention servers 18 of the fraud prevention server group 17 of this system, that is, in a plurality of ledgers. It is.

At this time, the animal biometric information stored in the data storage section 6 is examined in the check section 12a or 12b via a computer or the like owned by the secretariat that manages this system. As a result of the examination, animal biological information determined to have no problem is written to each of the plurality of fraud prevention servers 18 of the fraud prevention server group 17 through the data management system section 16 . It will be written in the plurality of anti-fraud servers 18, that is, registered in the ledger of this system.

Therefore, the animal biological information (life log information) registered in the ledger of this system is checked (examined) by the check unit 12a or 12b. Only log information (biological information of animals) is registered, and any information judged to be problematic by the checking section 12a or 12b is not registered in the ledger of this system.

Here, a plurality of anti-fraud servers 18 are installed in the anti-fraud server group 17, and each anti-fraud server 18 is configured to write encrypted information (data). In other words, the plurality of anti-fraud servers 18 always store the same encrypted information (data).

For example, in FIGS. 1 and 2, three fraud prevention servers 18 are installed, and all the fraud prevention servers 18 store exactly the same encrypted information (data). Although three anti-fraud servers 18 are installed in this embodiment, the number is not limited to three, and the number of installed servers may be increased or decreased depending on the situation. In some cases, the information (data) may be stored in the fraud prevention server 18 in an unencrypted state.

One of the features of this system is that the animal biometric information registered in the ledger of this system, that is, the animal biometric information written in the fraud prevention server 18 can only be registered, and overwrite registration such as update or deletion can be performed. programmed not to do so.

In addition, this system compares the contents stored in the data storage unit 6 with the contents written in any one of the fraud prevention servers 18 of the fraud prevention server group 17 to determine whether or not the data storage unit 6 has a function to check whether the information in it has been illegally accessed or falsified. Furthermore, since the anti-fraud server group 17 is not directly connected to the communication line 2 such as the Internet, access from the outside is prevented and security is very high. It leads to prevention of leakage of information that is Furthermore, the information (data) stored in the anti-fraud server 18 of the anti-fraud server group 17 is encrypted. Even if a third party obtains it, the encrypted information (data) cannot be deciphered.

By the way, according to the present invention, it is confirmed whether or not the animal biological information stored in the animal biological information storage computer 14 can be retrieved based on the information recorded in the animal biological information retrieval chip 13 read by the reading terminal 15. It has confirmation means for

That is, for example, when the special application installed in the communication terminal 1 is activated as described above and logged in, the animal biological information extracting chip 13 attached to the predetermined animal is read by the reading terminal 15, and the animal biological information is obtained in advance. The confirmation is made as to whether or not the information in the animal biological information extraction chip 13 for each predetermined animal stored in the storage computer 3, here a 15-digit number, matches the information read by the reading terminal 15. confirmed by means. As a result of the confirmation, when it is determined that they match, the owner information, basic animal information and animal biometric information of the predetermined animal are retrieved and displayed on the communication terminal 1 of the customer.

If the confirmation system using this confirmation means is used, the owner of the predetermined animal can select all the information including animal biometric information of the predetermined animal to the communication terminal 1 currently owned by the owner. A screen that can be browsed is displayed, and it is possible for the owner to select and display the information that the owner needs on the screen.

However, for example, another person who is not the owner of the predetermined animal activates the dedicated application installed in the communication terminal 1, logs in, and uses the reading terminal 15 to retrieve the animal biological information chip 13 of the predetermined animal. , only the information (15-digit number) recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is displayed on the communication terminal 1, and the information includes the animal biometric information of the predetermined animal. It is not possible to proceed to a screen where all information can be selected.

This is because, as described above, all information including animal biological information of a predetermined animal is stored in the data storage unit 6 of the animal biological information accumulation computer 3 in a state of being linked to the owner of the predetermined animal. Even if the communication terminal 1 uses the reading terminal 15 to read the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 of the predetermined animal not owned by the self, the information and the data of the animal biometric information storage computer 3 This is because the information stored in the storage unit 6 cannot be retrieved because it is not in a state of being linked.

That is, for example, when logging in with the owner's account (e-mail address and password set and registered), all information including the animal biological information of the predetermined animal stored in the data storage unit 6 can be retrieved. be.

On the other hand, a person who has the authority to acquire information including the owner information and animal biometric information of a predetermined animal (for example, a person related to an animal-related facility or a local government) must log in to the dedicated application with the account of the authority holder. In this state, the reading terminal 15 can be used to read the animal biological information extraction chip 13 attached to the predetermined animal.

In this case, the information (15-digit number) recorded in the animal biological information extraction chip 13 is displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 1 of the authority holder, and the displayed information (15-digit number) is displayed. For example, tapping on the screen brings up the next screen, that is, a screen displaying information including owner information linked to the 15-digit number and animal biological information of the predetermined animal.

As already explained, the reading terminal 15 is connected to the customer's communication terminal 1 by means of the wireless communication function. This is because whether or not information including animal biological information of a predetermined animal can be acquired differs.

In other words, while someone who is not the owner of the predetermined animal and who is not an authority holder has logged into the dedicated application with their own account (e-mail address and password set and registered by the other person), the logged-in communication Even if the reading terminal 15 is connected to the terminal 1 and the information (15-digit number) recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information is read by the connected reading terminal 15, the owner information and the animal of the predetermined animal are read. This is because information including biometric information cannot be obtained. In this case, only the information (15-digit number) recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is displayed on the other person's communication terminal 1, and from this display, the next owner information and the animal biometric information of the predetermined animal are displayed. It does not advance to a screen where information containing information is displayed.

In other words, in order to acquire the information including the owner information and the animal biological information of the predetermined animal, it is important to have the authority to acquire the information including the owner information and the animal biological information of the predetermined animal. be.

However, in order to have the right to acquire information including this owner information and animal biometric information of designated animals, animal-related facilities, local governments, and other organizations must separately apply to the secretariat that operates this system and undergo screening. It is conceivable to make it a requirement to register after receiving it.

If the above requirements are satisfied, after that, information including the owner information displayed on the screen of the authority holder's communication terminal 1 and the animal biological information of the predetermined animal is linked to the authority holder's account as necessary. The data can be stored in the data storage unit 6 in the attached state.

As a result, an authorized person, such as an animal-related facility or a local government, can use the information (15-digit number) recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information as an ID for each service, and use the data storage unit as an ID for each service. A membership card can be issued within the application based on the information stored in 6, and the owner can use the issued membership card to complete various procedures required when using animal-related facilities and local governments. It becomes possible to omit it.

However, the information that the authority holder can acquire and store is limited to the information permitted by the owner of the predetermined animal, and is stored in the data storage unit 6 in a state linked to the authority holder's account. be. In other words, the owner provides rights holders, such as animal-related facilities, local governments, and other related parties only with information within the scope permitted by the owner, and the scope of permission is determined by the owner himself on the application or website. can be set freely.

Here, the confirmation means is means processed by the control unit 9a (or 9b) in the control processing device 4 for web or in the control processing device 5 for applications. 2, the information read by the reading terminal 15 is received by the receiving section 7a (or 7b), and the predetermined animal information stored in the data storage section 6 is stored in the control section 9a (or 9b). Confirmation means confirms whether or not the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information for each animal matches the received information.

As a result of checking by the checking means, if it is determined that they match, the information including the animal biological information of the predetermined animal is transmitted to the customer (the owner or the authority holder in the above description) by the transmitting unit 8a (or 8b). Information transmitted to the terminal 1 via the communication line 2 and displayed on the display unit 10a (or 10b) is displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 1. FIG. Even if it is determined that there is no match, as described above, the person who has the authority to acquire information including the owner information and the animal biological information of the prescribed animal (authorized person) Information on the permission range of the owner is transmitted by the transmission unit 8a (or 8b) to the communication terminal 1 of the authority holder via the communication line 2, and is displayed on the screen of the communication terminal 1. FIG.

Here, the flow chart of FIG. 3 shows a registration method for authenticating and registering the information (recorded information) recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information with the present invention using a reading terminal 15 such as a microchip reader. will be briefly explained using

First, when you start the dedicated application, the login screen is displayed.
Here, a customer who uses the present invention for the first time needs to create an account by registering information about the customer in advance. The customer's own information requires the customer to select a classification such as individual or corporation, and registration items are required according to the classification selected by the customer. For example, if the customer is an individual, the customer's own name, email address, postal code, telephone number, login password, credit card information, etc. are required to be entered, and if the customer is a corporation, the above registration items are required. In addition, for example, supporter classification (e.g. distributor, medical institution, local government, etc.), facility name / corporate name, corporate address / telephone number, representative name, person in charge, animal handling business display items and license / registration Certificates and other information are required as registration items.

Then, after the login screen is displayed, enter the e-mail address and password registered in advance to log in. Then, it is confirmed whether or not the basic animal information of the predetermined animal linked to the account (the customer who is the owner of the animal) is saved (step S101).

The basic animal information includes a chip ID (e.g., microchip ID) attached to a predetermined animal for extracting animal biological information, animal species, sex, date of birth, and embedding of a chip (e.g., microchip) for extracting animal biological information. As already explained, it is the date of acquisition, the date of possession, the name of the animal, and the like.

If the animal basic information of the predetermined animal is not stored (NO in step S101), an input screen for animal basic information is displayed (step S102). After inputting the basic animal information on the input screen, an image requesting attachment of necessary documents is displayed (step S103). On this screen, for example, a photo of the registration card of the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information is requested.

After attaching the image of the necessary document such as the registration certificate, the reading screen of the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information is displayed (step S104). This screen displays, for example, "Please bring the reading terminal 15 close to a predetermined animal and read the chip number for extracting animal biometric information for biometric authentication." is held over a predetermined animal. Then, the reading terminal 15 reads the information (recorded information) recorded in the animal biological information extracting chip 13, the read recorded information is transmitted to the communication terminal 1 via the wireless communication function, and the transmitted recorded information is transmitted. is transmitted to the animal basic information computer 14 and/or the animal biometric information storage computer 3 or the like via an application in the communication terminal 1 .

After that, it is determined whether or not the animal biological information retrieval chip ID (for example, microchip ID) input in step S102 matches the recorded information of the animal biological information retrieval chip 13 read using the reading terminal 15. , is confirmed by the confirmation means described above (step S105).

If the confirmation means determines that they match (YES in step S105), the biometric authentication is completed and the application for registration of basic animal information is completed.

On the other hand, if the confirmation means determines that they do not match (NO in step S105), the animal basic information input screen is displayed again (step S102), requesting confirmation of whether or not there is an error in the input information.

If the animal basic information of the predetermined animal has already been stored in the animal biological information storage computer 3 (YES in step S101), the reading screen of the animal biological information retrieval chip 13 is displayed (step S104). In the same manner as described above, by holding the reading terminal 15 over a predetermined animal and reading the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information, the information is displayed on the reading screen via the wireless communication function. Next, if the confirmation means determines that they match (YES in step S105), the biometric authentication is completed and the application for registration of basic animal information is completed.

In this way, by utilizing the reading terminal 15 to read the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information and registering the biometric authentication in the animal management system of the present invention, the existence of the specified animal can be confirmed. can prove to be more reliable information. In addition, future problems such as non-attachment of the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information, or registration of fictitious information even though the owner does not have a predetermined animal, will be resolved. It is connected.

Next, a method of utilizing biometric authentication by the reading terminal 15 after the information (recorded information) recorded in the animal biometric information retrieval chip 13 is registered in the present invention will be briefly described with reference to the flow chart of FIG. Note that the flowchart in FIG. 4 is merely an example, and the present invention is not limited to this flowchart.

First, as a step prior to reading the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information, the above-mentioned dedicated application is activated, and after logging in to the customer's own account by entering the e-mail address and password, the customer's own communication is performed. The terminal 1 and the reading terminal 15 are kept connected by the wireless communication function.

In this state, when the reading terminal 15 is held over a predetermined animal, the reading terminal 15 reads the information (recorded information) recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 (step S201).

Then, the read record information is displayed on the screen of the customer's own communication terminal 1 via the wireless communication function. This displayed recorded information, here a 15-digit number, matches the information (15-digit number) of the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information for each predetermined animal, which is stored in the animal biological information storage computer 3 in advance. It is confirmed by the confirmation means whether or not (step S202).

As a result of confirmation by the confirmation means, if it is determined that the information of the animal biometric information withdrawal chip 13 of the animal owned by the account matches (YES in step S202), the owner information, the basic animal information of the predetermined animal, and the animal The biological information is retrieved from the data storage section 6 of the animal biological information storage computer 3 and displayed on the customer's communication terminal 1 (step S203).

On the other hand, when it is determined that there is no match as a result of confirmation by the confirmation means (NO in step S202), the person who has the authority to acquire the information including the owner information and the animal biological information of the predetermined animal (authorized It is confirmed whether or not the person corresponds to the person) (step S204). Here, as mentioned above, we apply as an authority holder and confirm whether it is a registered organization after undergoing screening.

Then, if it is confirmed that the owner is the authority holder (YES in step S204), then the owner of the predetermined animal sends information including the owner information and animal biometric information managed by the owner to the authority holder. is displayed on the communication terminal 1 of the owner (step S205). The owner can also omit the consent confirmation screen by setting the consent confirmation screen to, for example, "always agree" or "always refuse".

Next, when the owner agrees to the provision of information (YES in step S205), the authority holder can acquire information including the owner information and animal biological information of the predetermined animal (step S206). However, as already explained, the information that the authority holder can obtain and store is limited to the information permitted by the owner of the predetermined animal. The owner can decide and set the range of information to be provided by himself/herself.

On the other hand, when it is determined that the person does not correspond to the authorized person (NO in step S204), the screen of the customer's communication terminal 1 read by the reading terminal 15 shows the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information. , here only a 15-digit number is displayed (step S207). Note that even if the owner of the predetermined animal refuses to provide the information to the authority holder on the consent confirmation screen (NO in step S205), the animal biometric information is displayed on the screen of the authority holder's communication terminal 1. Only the information recorded in the withdrawal chip 13 is displayed (step S207).

Then, on the screen where only the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is displayed, there is a display for confirming whether or not the predetermined animal that has read the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is a lost animal (lost animal). confirmation display) is also displayed (step S208).

If the predetermined animal is lost in this lost animal confirmation display (YES in step S208), that is, when the customer who protects the predetermined animal taps the lost animal confirmation display displayed on the screen of the customer's communication terminal 1, , the information recorded in the read chip 13 for extracting animal biological information is notified to the secretariat (step S209).

Here, this lost animal confirmation display returns the lost animal to the owner by notifying the secretariat of the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 that has been read, here a 15-digit number. It is a function that can According to the present invention, data is stored in the animal biometric information storage computer 3 in a state in which all information including basic animal information such as the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is linked to the owner information of the predetermined animal. It has already been explained that it is stored in the section 6 . Therefore, if the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information is found, the owner of the lost animal can be easily found, and the secretariat can smoothly contact the owner of the lost animal.

When a lost animal is rescued, the owner of the rescued animal (for example, a rescued dog or a rescued cat) can be searched for by the rescued animal search service provided in the application in addition to the lost animal confirmation display. You can also search using In this case as well, the reading terminal 15 reads the chip 13 (for example, a microchip ID) for extracting animal biometric information, and biometric authentication is used to enable easy retrieval.

As a result of the search, if the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is registered, the read information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is displayed in the same manner as in the lost animal confirmation display. The secretariat will be notified. Then, the secretariat identifies the owner based on the owner information linked to the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information, and the secretariat contacts the owner so that the protected animal can be transferred to the owner. Returning to the original can be done smoothly.

In this way, since the secretariat contacts the owner, the owner's personal information is never disclosed to others or protected persons, and it can be used safely and securely from the viewpoint of privacy protection.

By the way, if the predetermined animal is not a lost animal (NO in step S208), for example, it is configured to return to the login screen after a certain period of time (step S210).

As described above, after being registered, the presence of the specified animal can be confirmed by utilizing the biometric authentication by the reading terminal 15, and the authority holder, for example, the person concerned such as an animal-related facility or a local government, can confirm the animal's biometrics. A membership card can be issued by utilizing the information recorded in the information withdrawal chip 13 as an ID. As a result, by using the issued membership card, the owner of the predetermined animal can omit various procedures required when using animal-related facilities, local governments, and the like.

Next, an embodiment utilizing biometrics authentication by the reading terminal 15 will be described using the present invention. It should be noted that the utilization is not limited to the first embodiment and the second embodiment shown below, and is appropriately determined according to the situation of utilization.

As a first embodiment, utilization of the present invention in use of a dog run facility will be described. First, the customer registers the biometric authentication of the predetermined animal in advance by the authentication method described above. In addition, it is necessary for the operator of the dog run facility to register his/her own information in advance in the animal management system of the present invention and prepare an environment in which the system can be used.

When a customer who intends to use the dog run facility uses the facility for the first time, the operator (person concerned) of the dog run facility activates the animal management system of the present invention and Then, the reading terminal 15 is held near the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 attached to a predetermined animal owned by the customer, and the information recorded in the animal biometric information extraction chip 13 is read.

Then, the reading terminal 15 reads the information recorded in the chip 13 for extracting animal biological information attached to the predetermined animal, and the read information is displayed on the communication terminal 1 of the operator (person concerned). .

Here, since the operator (related person) of the dog run facility corresponds to a person who has the authority to acquire information including the owner information and animal biometric information of the predetermined animal, the customer is the operator of the dog run facility If you agree to provide information within the permitted range to (related parties), the operator of the dog run facility (related parties) can obtain the necessary information.

As a result, in accordance with the regulations of the facility, the operator can acquire information necessary for use (for example, vaccination certificate, presence or absence of disease, etc.) in a state linked to the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information. A membership card can be issued based on the information.

By using this membership card from the second time onwards, it is possible to omit various procedures such as re-registration of necessary information, leading to smooth use of the facility.

As a result, conventionally, it was necessary for the operator to present the membership card and vaccination certificate face-to-face and confirm the necessary items one by one, but by using this system, the reception can be easily completed. can be done. In addition, even when a plurality of animals use it at the same time, the reception is completed simply by holding the reading terminal 15 over it. Therefore, even a dog with a stray dog can surely confirm the necessary items. Furthermore, the operator side can collectively manage all the users who use the dog run facility and the animals owned by the users on the animal management system of the present invention.

As a second embodiment, utilization of the present invention in animal-related events will be described.
At the time of reservation, the planner of the animal-related event will provide the applicants who wish to participate in the animal-related event with information necessary for participation (e.g. vaccination certificate, presence or absence of illness, etc.) animal species, etc.) is linked to the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information (for example, microchip ID), and is requested to be registered in advance.

Then, the planner will check whether there are any deficiencies in the necessary information entered and registered by the applicant, and if the planner determines that the necessary information is sufficient, the applicant will be notified Issue tickets for the event.
After that, at the reception entrance of the animal-related event, along with the participation ticket, the planner holds up the reading terminal 15 near the chip 13 for extracting animal biometric information attached to the animal participating in the event, and records it on the chip 13 for extracting biometric animal information. The received information, that is, the chip ID for extracting animal biological information is read and confirmed.

As for this confirmation, since the planner confirms in advance that there are no deficiencies in the registered contents of the necessary information, it is only necessary to confirm the collation of the chip ID for extracting animal biometric information. Only by holding the terminal 15 over the participating animal, the confirmation means of this system checks with the pre-registered chip ID for extracting animal biometric information, so the operator does not need to confirm the necessary items one by one.

The confirming means of this system confirms whether or not the information read by the reading terminal 15 matches the chip ID for extracting animal biometric information, which was previously input and registered to the planner by the prospective participant. Then, if it is determined that they match, it becomes possible to participate in the animal-related event. In the case of mismatch, for example, a buzzer may be sounded or a visual indication such as color may be used to notify the user.

As a result, after confirming the participation ticket of the person who wishes to participate, the planner can confirm whether or not the participating animal is a pre-registered participating animal simply by reading it with the reading terminal 15. , it is possible to complete the reception more speedily than before. In addition, there is no need to check the necessary information for the animals participating in the event one by one, as was the case in the past, and it also helps to reduce mistakes at the time of reception as much as possible.

As a result, even when a large number of event-participating animals must be accepted at a large-scale event or the like, the acceptance time can be greatly shortened, and human error at the time of acceptance can be minimized. In addition, since vaccinations required for event participation can be consistently managed, those who wish to participate can participate safely and with peace of mind.

As described above, an embodiment utilizing biometric authentication by the reading terminal 15 has been described. Utilization is also considered, and utilization is also considered when using settlement services and the like through the application of the present invention.
