New Patent for Finding and Connecting the Value of Celebrities

To explain this patent in simple terms, it is a system that registers the faces, videos, and voices of famous people, shows the range of use and fees, and calculates the amount of money based on how much people who want to use it see, select, apply for, and actually use the material. In the summary of the patent, the main components of this technology are to collect materials, make the range of use and fees visible, receive applications from people who want to use the materials, collect actual results of use, and calculate the amount of money based on those results.

To use an analogy, the concept is similar to that of an online store of goods. Online stores have made things easier to find, compare, and buy. This time, the system does not sell the person itself. It is a system like an "online store of human value" to find, select, apply for, use, count, divide, and connect the value of a person's face, video, voice, time, actions, and words in the context of a promise. It is not only about money, but also about preserving a person's memory and existence in society. The flow of this process is as described in the patent document: display, selection, usage request, acquisition of usage results, calculation of the amount of money, distribution, and setting up of the handover.

There are three people involved in this service: the first is the person who registers their face, video, and voice; the second is the company, store, or event that wants to use it; and the third is the customer or fan who receives the product, video, or service. This patent is specifically designed to support both the first and the second, i.e., the person who makes them use it and the person who uses it.

What this service does -> In this service, first, a famous person registers his/her face, video, and voice. Next, people who want to use it see it on their screen. Then, they choose how much they are allowed to use and how much they are willing to pay. After that, they apply for the service. After the use, the money is calculated based on how much was sold, how much was viewed, and so on. Furthermore, the system is designed not to count the same record twice, to set up the record in case of delays, and to connect the person to his/her family after he/she is gone. In other words, this is not just an introductory page. It is a place to show, a place to choose, a place to apply, a place to count the results of your use, and a place to see the reason for your money.

What this business is trying to change -> What this business is trying to change is the old way of doing things, which was easy to rely on one-time high contracts. Until now, larger companies were more likely to use well-known people and sometimes it was difficult to reach small stores, small businesses, and individuals. In contrast, this system aims to make it easier to start small, only for as long as you need, and only for as many uses as you need. The patent document also states that the product can be used softly for any period and to any extent desired, and that it can also be utilized in a subscriber-like manner.

For example, suppose there is a company that wants to sell a shampoo for 500 yen. The company wants to use the famous Mr. A's face and video in posters and commercials to make this shampoo more widely known. So, let's say that Mr. A and the company make a promise to pay 50 yen for every bottle of this shampoo sold. This would make it easier for the company to start without having to come up with a very large sum of money at the beginning, and for Mr. A's side, the value of the shampoo would gradually accumulate in proportion to the number of bottles sold. At this time, if this shampoo continues to sell for a long time and a total of 100 million bottles are sold, 50 yen x 100 million bottles, for a total of 5 billion yen. Furthermore, since this patent includes a mechanism for dividing the value of the product among predetermined heirs even after the person passes away, it also includes the idea of passing on the value of the person to his/her family while the product sales continue. In other words, the value of the person is not just a one-time payment, but the value is accumulated little by little every time the money is spent, and the feelings and value are connected to the family even after the person is no longer with us. This business is even trying to give shape to such a new trend.

In addition, how much to pay at the beginning, how to calculate the amount of sales, and how to divide the money with the office are actually determined by individual promises.

This analogy is a simple illustration of how this patent can calculate the amount of money based on the number of products sold, the number of video views, and other actual results.

<Conventional Problems

First of all, the major problem up to now was that it was expensive, distant, and difficult to understand. The patent specifications clearly state that in the past, using the name, face, or voice of a famous person often required an expensive contract through an advertising agency or firm. In other words, even if one wanted to use a famous person's name, there was a big barrier in front of them. This was not good for either the person using it or the person being asked to use it.

The second problem was that it was difficult to connect the money with what was spent. The statement says that in the past, the contract tended to be for a fixed amount, not for what was spent, making it difficult to connect the money to how it was actually spent. This makes it easy to feel expensive even if you only spend a little, and even if you spend a lot, it can be hard for the person to receive enough.

The third problem is that it was difficult for small companies and individuals to get in. The statement even says that it was easy for small companies and individuals to give up on using them because advertising agencies and offices divide famous people by rank and ask for higher amounts depending on their rank. In other words, it was easy for only a few large companies to use famous people.

The fourth problem is that it was difficult to find good people. The fourth problem is that it was difficult to find good people, even if they were good people, because of the "recommendation" feature. In particular, former athletes who used to be very famous tend to be used less after they retire, according to the specifications.

The fifth problem is that ordinary companies and stores had a weak entry point to compare and choose famous people. Until now, it has often been difficult to see who is available, under what conditions, and for how much, right from the start. Below the list of faces, there is a list of "Permitted Scope of Use," "Usage Fee," and "Selection. This is an idea that strengthens the entrance to choose by looking and comparing.

The sixth problem was that it was easy for the flow of value to stop after the person's death. The patent even includes a setup where the person is taken over by a pre-determined party. It is sad for both the family and the fans that the value of the person they have been supporting is suddenly cut off.

<Conventional issues

The challenge, therefore, was first to make the rules visible. How far can they be used? How much does it cost? How do I apply? Without visibility, people cannot move. In order to minimize the initial uncertainty, this patent takes the form of showing the range of use and the fees.

The next challenge was to make it possible to start small. In a world where you need a big contract to get moving, many people are unable to take the first step. The patent document says that it can be used for a short period of time or in a soft form. This helps to bring "I want to try it" closer to "Let's try it.

A further challenge was to properly count the facts that were used. The number of items sold, viewed, and used. If these things are not properly accounted for later, it will not continue to be a pleasant experience. The patent has a process of collecting the results used and calculating the money accordingly.

And it was also an important issue not to count the same record twice and to adjust the records when they were late. This patent will be designed to improve and solve those issues.

The last major issue was to connect to the family. The value of the person's life should not end with the family member, but should be passed on to the next person. Herein lies the gentleness of this patent.

Conventional hurdles→Conventional hurdles were, in a word, expensive, invisible, troublesome, hard to find, and hard to continue. The price barrier. Information barrier. The wall of procedure. The wall of discovery. And the barrier of thinking about it until after the person is gone. This patent is a flow of registration, display, application, provision, acquisition of results, calculation of the amount of money, recording, and handing over.

＜The future that can be seen from this system is described in easy words.

Smile of the future→A smile of the future is a smile that turns "I wanted to try it" into "I could do it. Local stores can try out projects with the help of famous people. People who register can feel that "there are still people who need me". The viewers will be happy to "see the person they liked again. Such smiles will increase because there is an entrance to see, choose, and apply.

Future impression→Future impression is the impression of "the value that you thought had already ended lives again. The person we longed for in the past will appear in society again in a different form. There is a deep emotion in that. For many people, voices are special. In particular, the voices of the voice actors themselves, who are known for their work in popular animated films, are strongly associated with memories of the films and their youth. Although the patent document directly shows the voice material of the celebrity himself/herself, there is a great possibility to find, select, and utilize the charm of such unforgettable voices in the right promise beyond this mechanism.

Future Inspiration -> Future Inspiration is the feeling of excitement in one's heart that one has really made it. When something that was previously too expensive to deliver can now be delivered in a short period of time or with a small use, it is easier for those who planned it, those who will use it, and those who will receive it to feel that their "dream has taken shape.

Excitement of the future→Excitement of the future is the excitement of "I didn't know such a combination existed. By having "recommended displays" and showing them in accordance with the season and the current trend, encounters that you never expected will be created. A person who is accessible now, but really great. People who are perfect for the current project. Such discoveries make people's hearts burn.

Future appreciation→Future appreciation is to feel that the support and use of the project has been properly received. The fact that the amount of money is calculated based on the results of use means that "seen," "bought," and "used" will not just flow through and disappear, but will have a way to reach you. Those who spend can be grateful for being allowed to spend, those who register can be grateful for being treated properly, and finally those who receive can be grateful for the power of their support.

Tears of the Future → Tears of the future are tears of connection, not just sadness. The fact that there is a mechanism to connect the person to a pre-determined heir after the person's death means that there is a way of thinking that prevents the person's value from suddenly disappearing. The voices and smiles of those who can no longer see them are used in a proper appointment, and their support is connected to their families. There are tender tears there.

Future Happiness → Future happiness is not just about one person benefiting, but about small happiness spreading to everyone involved. Those who register will live the value. People who use the service can make a project. Recipients are happy. Families are connected to the future. In such a way, happiness is connected not in dots but in lines, which is the happiness that we can see beyond this patent.

Future security→Future security is the security of "knowing what is going on. How far can we use it? How much is it? How do I apply for it? How will the money be paid? Just by being able to see these things, people's anxiety is greatly reduced.

Safety of the future→Safety here does not mean that nothing will ever happen. Rather, it means safety that makes mistakes less likely to happen. Do not count the same record twice. Set records in order when they fall behind. Keep a record of what you have used. It is the inclusion of these small details that make it difficult for money and records to get mixed up. Create safety of service.

Future change→Future change means a change from a world of "expensive, distant, and only some" to a world of "visible, selectable, and lasting". Until now, the focus has been on one-time, large contracts. From now on, it may be easier to move for short periods of time, limited use, and small projects. The power of famous people will be used more gently, more widely, and for longer periods of time in society. This is the biggest change that this patent will create.

What this service aims to achieve→What this service aims to achieve is not to leave famous people as "high and distant". People who want to see them can find them. People who want to use it can choose it. The results of their use will be counted. And the value of this service is connected to the individual, his/her family, and the future. This is what we are trying to achieve.

The future that this business will create → What this business will create is not a world that relies on one-time large contracts. We are approaching a world where many small jobs will be created and accumulated over a short period of time, limited usage, small projects, local events, parts of videos, parts of products, and so on. This is the foundation to change from "a business where only a few big companies can use celebrities" to "a business where more people can utilize the power of celebrities in their promises.

Future Expansion -> Directly mentioned in the patent document are athletes, actors, singers, models, etc. On top of that, we are looking to expand this concept to include the voices of the voice actors themselves, who are known for their popular animation works, the videos and voices of people active in video distribution, and the faces, voices, and videos of well-known executives and businessmen, etc. It is not only in the world of television. It is not only in the world of sports. There is value in the world of distribution, in the world of community, in the world of business, and in the world of personality. We will create a place where that value can be utilized properly, gently, and for a long time.

<Comments from the inventor

This patent was invented in response to requests from people such as, "Takeuchi, athletes and entertainers lose their income when they retire, so think of a model that will help them survive," and "YouTube has reduced the income of entertainers, so think of something. Popularity and attention ebbs and flows. However, we do not believe that a person's name, face, voice, efforts, life time, and power to move people's hearts should suddenly disappear one day as if they had never existed. We have always wanted to utilize the value of famous people not as a one-time event, but as something that accumulates as it is used and continues to be connected to their families, including their children, after they retire and beyond. And now we are trying to give shape to a new system that, like an online store of goods, connects not the person itself, but the value of the person's face, video, voice, words, time, and actions, to find, select, apply for, use, count, divide, and connect. A smile that allows you to do the project you wanted to do. The excitement of being able to see each other again. Gratitude that feels like it has really arrived. And the gentle tears of connection. With the power of technology, we are giving shape to such a future, one by one. We believe that such a society will lead to more events, regional revitalization, and a bright future of economic circulation.

<Outline of the patent

This patent is for a system that can receive a famous person's face, video, voice, etc., show the range of use and fees, receive applications from people who want to use it, collect the results of use, calculate the amount according to the results, display recommendations, handle record overlaps and delays, and, after the person dies, set up a connection to a predetermined heir. After the person passes away, the system can be set up to connect the deceased to his or her predetermined heirs.

**For the sake of clarity, this release uses the terms "celebrity," "face, video, and voice," and "family" in some places. More precisely, the patent document refers to "celebrities," "portraits, video materials, and audio materials," and "pre-determined heirs "**.

*The extension to the voice of the voice actor himself known for his popular animated works, to people active in video distribution, to executives and businessmen, etc., is an expression of a future business concept. Examples directly shown in patent documents are athletes, actors, singers, models, etc.
