Abstract

The present invention relates to an Internet-based museum system, in which a detailed personal history is stored into a data bank in the form of digital data; an operator continually updates the personal data including genetic information for a predetermined period, recognizes users or descendants of the users allowing them to confirm or inspect the data accumulated in the data bank, carries out management of the users, manufactures glittering ashes-containing molds into special shapes by mixing the ashes with specific ingredients when the users die, manages the molds installed in an exhibition hall, and allows the descendants to inspect information about the deceased or be provided with the data at a specific date, so that management of the ashes is simplified while all kinds of personal information is readily inspected or obtained, and people can inspect the data or information without visiting the museum or the exhibition hall and see or purchase articles without visiting shops or stores.

Claims

1. An Internet-based museum system, comprising:

an operator server 11 managed by an operator 10 and comprising a member management system 12, an electronic key system 13, a personal information management system 14, an information transfer processing system 15, a management system 16 of an exhibition hall 40, an information transfer system 17 of the exhibition hall 40 and a management system 18 of an ashes-containing mold manufacturer 50;

a data bank 21 managed by a data bank manager 20 and comprising an electronic key system 22, a database 23, and an information transfer processing system 24;

a user terminal 31 for transferring all specific information of a user into the operator 10, accessing the operator server 11 and receiving information from the data bank 21, and receiving various information from the operator;

a terminal 41 in the exhibition hall 40 displaying ashes-containing molds of the deceased, having means for receiving information from the data bank 21 and displaying the received information via various media, regulating visitors, and having a securing device; and

a terminal 51 of the ashes-containing mold manufacturer 50 used to receive ashes and manufacture the ashes into a special shape to manufacture the ashes-contaning mold.

2. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein said member management system 12 issues an ID and a password unique to a member when a person inputs personal information, a policy of membership fee payment and means for receiving information and membership grade, and continually confirms membership fee payment to continuously allow him/her with the membership or deprive him/her of the membership.

3. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the electronic key system 13 authenticate members or establishes kinds and limitations of information to be provided when the members and the general people access the data bank 21 to have access to specific information, and prevents the general people connected to the data bank 21 from damaging various information stored therein.

4. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the personal information management system 14 digitalizes various information provided from the members, and stores digital information into the data bank 21 by grading the same at the request of the members or based upon judgment of the operator 10.

5. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the information transfer processing system 15 functions to provide various data received from the data bank 21 to the user 30.

6. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the electronic key system 22 is interlocked with the electronic key system 13 of the operator server 11, whereby specific information can be inspected or provided if a pre-inputted password is identified, and whereby specific information can, be inspected or provided if the operator 10, the data bank manger 20 and a user 30 have the same password, wherein the password may be changed by mutual agreement among the operator 10, the data bank manager 20 and the user 30.

7. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the database 23 grades various information digitalized by the personal information management system 14 and the information data input/output device of the operator server 11 and stores graded information.

8. The Internet-based museum system in accordance with claim 1, wherein the information transfer system 24 transfers information extracted from the database 23 at the request of the user 30 or member into the operator server 11.
