Description

How to hold cruise ships and events

Technical field

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to a cruise ship and a method for holding an event using the cruise ship.

[0002] For example, in the case of tennis, there are four major tournaments: Australia, France, England, and the United States, which are held once a year only in each country.

[0003] Not only tennis, soccer, volleyball, boxing, basketball, table tennis, notington, figure skating, dance, billiards, etc., but also the world championships of international sports, or international championships, held by nature. Very few times. Therefore, it is held only in a limited part of the world, and it is not easy for people outside the host country to watch the players directly.

[0004] Despite these circumstances, for example, the concept of increasing the tournament equivalent to the previous 4 major tournaments by 1 or 2 to become the 5th or 6th tournament can be realized for various reasons. The fact is that there is almost no possibility.

[0005] Not limited to sports, for example, international chess championships, various contests, as well as demonstrations of world-class top orchestras such as the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. is there.

[0006] However, the opportunity to see demonstrations by some of the world's top athletes and artists is actually extremely concentrated only in the West. Even in Japan, which has the most opportunities in Asia, the number of such global events is very small due to geographical handicap. Furthermore, it can be said that these other global events are rarely held in other Asian countries, such as Africa. In addition, for example, these countries do not have first-class venue facilities that can be held even if they want to hold it. This is because, in general, such first-class venue facilities are not only financially expensive, but the maintenance costs after construction are very high, so it is not financially possible to construct them. [0007] On the other hand, one of the concerns that has become a particularly big problem in recent years regarding the holding of such global events is the problem of ensuring the security of the parties concerned or the audience against terrorism. As reported by numerous media, the recent terrorist attacks have occurred in London and Egypt 'Sharm El Sheikh. New York, Madrid, London, Egypt 'Sharm El Sheikh and other aircraft that have just been attacked, trains, subways, buses, hotels, transportation and accommodation are the targets. It is coming. This situation makes it very difficult to ensure the security of the world's top athletes, artists and their audience.

[0008] For example, London's subway and bus bombings were triggered during a summit in the UK, but if it was triggered during Wimbledon, for example, the tournament itself continued. It may be possible to give up the situation. Disclosure of the invention

[0009] The present invention was devised in consideration of such circumstances in the world, and allows people in many parts of the world to enjoy the skills of world-class athletes and artists safely. The purpose is to provide a `` place '' for the world's key people, such as a safe meeting, and at the same time, powerful people who cannot participate directly in the event will cross the border. Its purpose is to be able to enjoy the situation.

[0010] In order to achieve this object, the present invention holds an event on a cruise ship. On board

Event venue facilities, server equipment for selling tickets for the event to people all over the world via the Internet, and the status of the event to people outside the ship via the Internet or satellite And content transmission facilities that can be broadcast.

[0011] In addition, the present invention utilizes a cruise ship to achieve the same purpose, particularly as a place for a sporting event. A cruise ship has a size of at least 10,000 gross tons and is required by the venue facilities at a World Championship level event in that sport event to hold an event on that ship. Sports venue facilities that meet the required facility conditions and the event tickets at least via the Internet It is equipped with server equipment for selling to people all over the world, and content transmission equipment that allows the event status to be broadcast to people outside the ship via the Internet or satellite.

[0012] In any case, tickets for the event are sold to people in the world at least via the Internet, and the status of the event is broadcast to people outside the ship via the Internet or satellite.

Note that “inboard” in the present specification includes the concept of “on board or on deck”.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an overall appearance of an example of a cruise ship for carrying out an event holding method according to the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a schematic plan view schematically showing functions of the cruise ship. FIG.

[0017] This cruise ship 12 is a large ship having a specification of 400,000 gross tons, a total length of 550m, a total width of 70m, 25 stories, B flooded water of 13m, speed of 22 knots and 3600 rooms. Considering that the famous Queen Mary II, owned by Cunard of England, is 151,400 gross tons, total length 345m, and total width 40m, it is 2.6 times larger than that. It will be.

[0018] At present, the largest tanker in the world is 550,000 tons (total length: 460m, total width: 70m). Passenger ships are expressed in gross tons rather than weight tons, and the standard unit is different, so it cannot be generally stated, but it is almost the maximum size that can be manufactured safely with current shipbuilding technology.

[0019] A conventional cruise ship operates its own space and time that are blocked from the outside. For example, it can be said that it is a "hotel that moves on the ocean." A variety of entertainment facilities are planned and arranged to make your stay as comfortable as possible. However, these are basically intended for residents on board, It is an event in a closed space and an entertainment facility. Rather, it is the idea that power that is a space that is cut off from the outside world can calm down, heal, and get peace.

[0020] On the other hand, the cruise ship 12 according to the present embodiment can be said to have realized "a world-class safe city built around a hotel". For example, in the case of Tokyo, of course, there are many people who have settled there, but many more than that, the number of people living in the surrounding area (bed town) is also for work, shopping, etc. When you come to Tokyo, you can see the form of going home again. The cruise ship 12 according to the present embodiment is similar to this, of course, although there are long-stay passengers who should be called settlers, but from a much larger number of other areas (specifically, the port of call). In order to watch sports events, to watch various events, and to participate in international conferences, you can enter this “safe city”, participate in certain events, and return home after realizing your purpose. Will be formed.

[0021] Specifically, on this cruise ship 12, for example, there are 13 tennis courts that can hold tournaments equivalent to the four major tournaments of tennis (12 courts + 12 main courts with a corresponding audience seat). )is set up. This is a consideration for running the tournament without any problems. In addition, the maintenance and maintenance of the tennis court facilities, which are basically required for the four major tournaments, including the material and quality of the court surface, are performed.

[0022] Further, for example, in the case of an outdoor court, during play, the direction of the wind (on windy days) and the sun position on the day of strong sunlight are the direction in which the net 16 of each court 14 is stretched. The cruise ship 12 itself can change its position to match X. In that case, the players on both sides can always play under almost equal conditions.

[0023] Further, the tournament can be held after moving to an area where the wind is weaker or an area where it is not raining by utilizing the fact that the cruise ship 12 can move on the ocean. Of course, natural disasters such as typhoons and earthquakes can be avoided. These are one of the major benefits that can only be obtained from offshore courts that cannot be obtained with a coat that is 'fixed' to a particular land. In other words, whether the competition facility is installed indoors on the cruise ship 12 or outside the deck, it can be held regardless of the weather, and the pre-determined broadcast date and time. It is guaranteed that it can be broadcast live reliably, and it has a very beneficial effect on the holding or broadcasting of this kind of event. [0024] It should be noted that the cruise ship 12 is a huge ship, and the shaking of the court surface itself is hardly a problem.

[0025] The cruise ship 12 according to this embodiment includes basketball, volleyball, hand bow nore, notmington, fencing, taekwondo, boxing, kick boxing, table tennis, gymnastics, rhythmic gymnastics, judo, karate, etc. Equipped with facilities (represented by reference numerals 15a, 15b ...) that can handle World Championships or equivalent levels (including spectator seats). Figure skating link 17 can also be installed. These sports facilities may be permanently installed according to demand, or in the case of pinpoint events, they may be installed appropriately according to the events.

[0026] In this specification, "world championship level tournament" refers to the highest class tournament actually held in the sport event including the Olympics. For example, in terms of tennis, the levels of the four major tournaments of Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and France, and in the case of basketball, in the NBA (North American Professional Basketball League) game level and volleyball. In other words, FIVB (International Volleyball Federation) sponsored world championship level (Volleyball World Championship) and other 3 major official game levels, in the case of table tennis, international table tennis championship level, international table tennis championship level, boxing For example, the title match level of each class sponsored by WBA (World Boxing Association), WBC (World Boxing Council), IBF (International Boxing Federation), W BO (World Boxing Organization), and so on. Of course, it means that it is possible to hold a competition at the highest level in terms of facility daring, in order to eliminate lower-level competitions.

[0027] By the way, this cruise ship 12 is capable of hosting the highest level of competition in a facility-wide manner. This does not necessarily mean that the existing world championship level competition itself will be held. For sporting events in which the host country is fixed, for example, if the Australian Open of Tennis itself is held on this cruise ship 12, it is unlikely that it will be possible! Of course, this may be the case for sporting events where the host country is changed around the world, but as mentioned at the beginning, the host country of the tournament is increased by one and the five major tournaments. It's hard to even think of doing it. However, it can be held at a competition facility comparable to the four major tournaments, and because it is offshore, It is possible that a tournament on a cruise ship without the concept of “” can be well established if it has a status equivalent to “4 major tournaments + 1”.

[0028] Due to the nature of being held on a cruise ship, the nearest port of call can vary from year to year. If you can watch a tournament of four top tournament level superb tennis players in one hall on a cruise ship 12 based on a port of call that is not far from local power, this is an irresistible experience for fans. It should be an event.

[0029] In addition, for example, there is a possibility of being selected as an extension of the "local travel destination" of the Japanese sumo. This means that a single event can provide opportunities for people from many countries to see sumo, and the internationalization movement of sumo can be developed efficiently even from the side of the organizer.

[0030] On the other hand, the cruise ship 12 has a variety of facilities for hosting non-sport events, especially the world's first-class cultural events (represented by reference numerals 18: 18a, 18b, etc.). For example, there are multiple large concert halls 18a that can accommodate 2,000 people and small and medium concert halls 18b that can hold string quartets and solo recitals.

[0031] The large concert hall 18a is equipped with the best grade of organ equipment, stage facilities that can hold opera and ballet performances, etc., including the reverberation characteristics of the world's highest class sound effects and lighting effects at present. Is feasible.

[0032] In addition, there are multiple large, medium, and small conference rooms 18c, lecture rooms 18d, and multipurpose event rooms 18e. In addition to various international conferences, competitions such as contests, chess, dance, or billiards, Provide “places” for holding awards such as Academy Awards, auctions, fashion shows, dinner shows, art exhibitions, trade fairs, exhibitions, lectures, fireworks displays, corporate advertising events, etc. Become! /

The cruise ship 12 includes a server facility 20 for selling viewing tickets or participation tickets for these events to people (ticket purchasers) 19 around the world via the Internet. In other words, it provides people around the world the opportunity to obtain tickets at the same time and on an equal basis.

[0034] In addition, the cruise ship 12 can broadcast the event status to people outside the ship via the Internet 22 or the satellite 24 (by broadcasting using a broadcast satellite or a communication satellite). A content transmission facility ₂₆ is provided. The principle is live broadcasting (event status, ie, broadcast content in which the broadcast content is recorded to the viewer in real time without being recorded), but may be broadcast that has been recorded and edited depending on circumstances. Specifically, for events on cruise ship 12, direct streaming video transmission or download distribution to Internet subscribers 30 who wish to receive content via Internet 22 for a fee. Provide in. When using a satellite, a content transmission provider with the characteristics of a consigned broadcaster enters the ship and transmits radio waves from the ship to the satellite 24 via the content transmission facility 26 (specifically, a transponder, etc.). (Uplink), received by satellite 24 and converted to another frequency. After that, it is retransmitted (downlink) to the ground via the broadcasting station 32 (or CATV station, etc.) of each country corresponding to the consigned broadcasting company that owns the satellite 24, and each house is connected by so-called satellite broadcasting or cable broadcasting It will be delivered to 34 respectively.

[0035] In general satellite broadcasting, due to political and cultural background, the phenomenon (spillover) where satellite radio waves reach beyond the target area (outside the territory of one country) is a major problem to avoid. However, since the content transmission from this cruise ship 12 is from the high seas, spillover will not be a major problem as long as prescribed rules such as Article 109 of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea are observed. It is understood. In this sense, sharing of culture across borders can be expected.

[0036] These simply go beyond the dimension where the event is held on the cruise ship 12, and show that the cruise ship 12 itself is an "opening base for event content." This is one of the major features of the invention.

[0037] Furthermore, it has a facility 36 that uses radio systems to transmit the event progress status only by voice. (For people in developing countries that do not have broadcasting facilities or Internet infrastructure) It is possible to provide the event status at a low cost.

[0038] The cruise ship 12 is designed so that the ticket purchaser 19 of the event can board, and a shuttle ship 70 that can return to and from the nearest port (each port of call) can be placed sideways. This is a consideration to ensure that large numbers of people move between the cruise ship 12 and the port of call without causing confusion. The cruise ship 12 is also provided with, for example, a large-scale casino 40a, a permanent game facility 40b, or a large shopping mall 40c that gathers the world's major brands together. In other words, if you board this cruise ship 12, you can enjoy a world-class casino, and you can purchase all the famous brands of the world without tax without going to their home countries. These facilities are one of the other attractions of the cruise ship 12 although they deviate directly from the concept of the “facility for event” of the present invention.

[0040] The cruise ship 12 has various holding programs for each event.

An example will be described with reference to FIG. Suppose now that there are countries A, B, and C, each with their own territorial waters As, Bs, and Cs. As shown in the chart, port A in country A cannot access this cruise ship 12, and there are facilities and businesses that are prohibited by law in country A, such as casinos. Country B has no banned facilities or operations. Of Country B's two ports Bl and B2, only port B1 can be berthed. Port C1 in Country C can be berthed, but there are prohibited facilities and businesses.

[0042] In this example, when cruise ship 12 calls at port A1 in country A, for example, during the previous cruising CR1! /, Preparation for the event EV1 (for example, World Championship of Chess) If so, qualifying, etc.). When arriving close to port A1, cruise ship 12 travels around port A1, and ships a purchaser of the event EV1 ticket from port A1 via shuttle ship 70. The main event (final etc.) will be held. The purpose of doing so in the territory overseas of Country A is because the casino that is held at the same time on board is not permitted by the law of Country A. It is preferable that cruising CR1 (qualifying) is held on weekdays and the main event EV1 (final) is held on weekends for 3-4 days including weekends such as Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Of course, you should also watch the qualifying ability of Cruising CR1.

[0043] Event When EV1 ends, most of the passengers are returned to port A1 by shuttleship 70. In the next port of call (port B1), event EV2 (tennis tournament) and event EV3 (the first to third day of the orchestra tour) are planned. Therefore, some of the players, spectators, and related persons get on. Cruising to Port B1 CR2 Tennis tournament EV2 qualifying will take place. On the first day to the third day of the orchestra tour, a series of opera performances are scheduled, so the stage equipment will be constructed.

[0044] Port B1 in Country B can berth and there are no legal restrictions such as casinos, so cruise ship 12 berthed at port B1 and directly boarded many ticket purchasers, then berthed. The tournament EV2 quarter-final to final, and orchestra tour EV3 first day to the third day opera performance. The event held at the berth is highly convenient because there is no need to operate the shuttleship 70 etc., and another passenger can be gathered every day. Therefore, the largest event on the weekend will be applied to such an event at Port B1.

[0045] After events EV2 and EV3 (from day 1 to day 3), cruise ship 12 heads to port C1 in country C due to power potage regulations. The main passengers are the continuous visitors of the Orchestra Tour EV3 and the purchasers of special tickets for the event EV4 in the following country C. Cruising up to Country C In CR3, there is a pre-event for EV4. In addition, there are plans for continuous visitors to Orchestra Tour EV3 to enjoy public practice of the orchestra. The first-class orchestra's live practice scenes, etc., can only be viewed by cruising with plenty of time. Port C1 in Country C is capable of cruising a cruise ship 12 There are legal regulations. Therefore, it is not necessary to operate Shuttle Ship 70 at Port C1 (power that allows passengers to board the ship after berthing, event EV3 (performance on the 4th and 5th days), and new Event EV 4 will be held after cruising out of C territorial waters Cs.

[0046] In the same manner, cruise ship 12 is going to port B2 in country B while cruising CR4. Port B2 cannot be berthed by cruise ship 12, so there is no legal regulation in country B, which can be boarded via shuttleship 70, so event EV4 can also be held in territorial waters Bs. Therefore, for example, when the open sea is rough, events EV3 and EV4 can be held without necessarily going to the overseas Bs.

[0047] As a result, the ticket purchaser 19 should board or disembark from any port of call Al, Bl, B2, CI, taking into account the boarding period, the content of the watching, and the geographical relationship of each port of call. Is possible. This is a program that combines the cruise ship's original cruising function, event holding function, and so-called “pick-up ship” function for ticket purchasers19. [0048] Of course, these are merely examples, and in practice, for example, more events are held in parallel. On the other hand, it is not always necessary to hold such an event at every port of call, and it may be called for the purpose of “inviting ticket purchasers and related parties” for the purpose of boarding only. In the previous example, after the event was held for Country B, the reason for returning to B2 near the original port of call B1 was to consider the function as a pick-up ship. You may turn your boat to the port of call. Of course, there may be an event that only takes place during this movement.

[0049] In any case, the organizer, player, or performer, according to this operation program, will not change the accommodation facilities from the first boarding, and there will be no movement related to the competition facilities and event materials. As a result, it will be possible to concentrate solely on the original event or premier event. This advantage is particularly noticeable for events that have difficulty in moving from one industrial place to another, such as orchestral tour performances as in the previous example, circus exhibitions, and expositions.

[0050] In addition, as described above, the cruise ship 12 is as close to the port of call as necessary before the event is held, and cruises to the most appropriate position on the high seas. In this way, it is possible to hold various events in a state where the original functions are fully utilized, leaving various regulations in each country. In addition, since the event can be held where there is no land or other ships nearby, the highest level of security can be guaranteed. Furthermore, as mentioned above, you can move to areas where the weather is as favorable as possible (for example, areas where the waves are calm), or change the direction of the cruise ship 12 so that the wind direction and sun angle are appropriate. You can also do it freely. Astronomical events such as solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, comets, and meteor showers are among the events that are most effective.

[0051] Although not directly related to the present invention, as shown in the previous example, for example, a casino is also regulated by moving it to the high seas and holding it. Passengers in the same country can enjoy without problems.

[0052] The cruise ship 12 is on board and is a machine-readable passport or equivalent. It is provided with a collation device 72 for electronically collating the functional identification means and the actual passenger. This is to confirm the identity of all passengers, including those related to the event and their visitors, and to ensure safety on board.

[0053] This cruise ship 12 is not a land-based event because it is a huge ship that is controlled by pirates, and is not a land-based event, so it should be a political and religious target for terrorists. It is difficult to think of pirates or terrorist attacks from outside the ship, which have various factors. The most alarming thing is that some dangerous molecule enters the passenger. For this reason, machine-ready passports, which have been rapidly spreading in recent years, especially in the United States, are demanded in addition to conventional passports, and it is possible to further secure safety and move a large number of passengers smoothly. I am doing so.

[0054] Once the identity is confirmed, a machine-readable dedicated card 82 is issued to the applicants (in some cases, all of them) so that convenience can be enjoyed. This dedicated card 82 is the core of the cashless system 80 that allows you to view and participate in cashless events on the ship, enjoy shopping, and enjoy various services all in one.

[0055] As a result, the passenger does not need to hold a large amount of money. On the other hand, the organizer or the store does not handle various credit cards, but reads a single dedicated card 82 with a single type of reading. Since it can be processed simply by holding it over the take-off machine 84, a very smooth settlement is possible. In addition, the cashless system 80 based on this machine-readable dedicated card 82, such as allowing entry by simply holding the dedicated card 82 over a reader installed at the entrance of multiple event venues, It contributes greatly to smooth the flow of a large number of people on board.

It should be noted that the cruise ship 12 is provided with a banking facility 90 on the ship where a passenger's account can be opened. This is not limited to the function that the passenger carries out deposits and withdrawals with respect to the bank account held in the home country through a facility such as a so-called ATM (automated teller payment! / Machine). Another characteristic is that an independent bank is open on board and an account can be opened directly. By using this bank account on board, each passenger can make deposits that are not subject to various regulations in their home country. This is especially the first-class athlete It can be a very attractive system for tastes or for passengers who can afford such cruising. This is thought to function in a way that makes this kind of global event easier to hold on this cruise ship 12. Of course, the balance of the dedicated card 82 can be settled through this account.

[0057] Furthermore, the cruise ship 12 can make a part of the facilities on the ship available for sale or rental as assets. As a result, for example, it becomes possible for the organizer, shop, or restaurant manager of the event to purchase the sports facility or store as an asset, or to acquire the interest in its operation. Is possible. In addition, for example, if one of the 92 guest rooms with many regular passengers of the cruise ship 12 is purchased as an asset or the right to use is acquired through a rental contract, etc. It is possible to enjoy a stable cruise life while enjoying world-class events like every day. These funds can be used as construction funds or operating funds for the cruise ship 12 itself, and contribute to the continued long-term stable operation.

It should be noted that the cruise ship 12 and the event holding method according to this embodiment are an example in the case of carrying out the present invention. For example, it goes without saying that the shape of the ship, the structure and specifications of the ship are not limited to those of this embodiment. In addition, the sports facilities that can be installed are not necessarily limited to the above examples, and it is not necessary that all the above examples can be installed.

[0059] In the above-described embodiment, a program that allows a person who purchased a ticket to board a port from two or more power stations is set up. However, it is not always necessary to set up such a program. The same applies to cruising after the end of the event.

[0060] In addition, in the above-described embodiment, the power used to electronically verify the machine-readable nosport or the identity card having a function equivalent to this on the boarding, for example, only in a specific country If an event is held in a particular port with a specific port as the port of call, identification by passport is not always necessary.

[0061] Further, even when verification is performed using a passport, it is not necessarily required to perform machine-readable verification. [0062] In the above-described embodiment, a dedicated card that allows cashless purchases and services to be enjoyed on board the ship is issued to the passenger. Not necessarily an essential requirement for carrying out the present invention.

[0063] In addition, the shuttle ship in the above-described embodiment is designed so that a ticket ship can be boarded and a shuttle ship that can reciprocate to the nearest port can be placed side by side. The configuration in which is placed is not necessarily an essential requirement.

[0064] Similarly, opening a bank facility where a passenger's account can be opened, buying and selling a part of the ship's facility as an asset, and renting it are not necessarily essential requirements.

Industrial applicability

[0065] Significant industrial applicability is recognized in the construction of the cruise ship itself, the construction or installation of each facility on the ship, and the broadcasting of the event itself and the spread of its receiving equipment.
