The present invention relates to a U-Healthcare center system, and more particularly, to analyze the log information of the data (biological information) received from the U-Healthcare center system, and to measure the biometric information. After checking the state of the terminal, a normal reference information screening device using the message reference table, and a computer for recording the method and the program for realizing the method for using the message reference table to sort and store the biometric information without errors or omissions The present invention relates to a readable recording medium.

That is, in the present invention, when receiving biometric information in a U-Healthcare center system or the like, the details of the received data (terminal state, transmission time, data item, error status, etc.) through data monitoring are checked. Realizing a biometric information sorting apparatus and method thereof using the message reference table for storing biometric information classified as 'normal' using the message reference table so as to store only the data (biometric information) classified as 'normal' in the biometric information database The present invention relates to a computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program.

In order to help the understanding of the present invention, the U-Health service and related technologies for the U-Health service will be described. (In the present invention, U refers to ubiquitous. it means.).

As society ages and social demands on health and well-being increase, interest in the health industry also increases. Accordingly, the need for a health care service for the elderly, chronically ill, and well-being is increasing and the demand for a service model and system for this is increasing.

In addition, as information technology (IT) environment extends its infrastructure and area to not only wired / wireless internet and home network but also medical service environment, the demand for health service in ubiquitous environment is increasing. The IT environment of the medical and health management system provides medical reservations, cyber counseling, and health-related contents through the Internet. Recently, biometric information of individual patients is transmitted to the health center system through wired / wireless networks. It is transforming into a U-Health service environment that provides health care services everywhere.

In addition, in the ubiquitous environment mentioned in the present invention, a gateway for wired / wireless communication is installed in a home terminal (biometric information measuring terminal) capable of measuring blood sugar, blood pressure, body composition, etc. by mounting a short range wireless communication module such as Zigbee or Bluetooth. To the U-Healthcare Center System. The process of measuring biometric information and transmitting it to a U-Healthcare center system through a gateway is described in more detail as follows.

First, when biometric information generated by a biometric information measuring terminal (eg, blood glucose meter, blood pressure monitor, body composition analyzer, electrocardiogram, etc.) is generated, the wireless module is notified. It reads biometric information stored in specific memory of measuring terminal and transmits it to wireless module of indoor / outdoor gateway. The transmitted bio information is transmitted to the U-Healthcare center system through a TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) method through the gateway.

Then, the U-Healthcare center system stores the data (biological information) measured for each individual in the biometric information database (DB), and the data measured by the biometric information measuring terminal communicates with the terminal and the gateway. If an error occurs in the section, or if an error occurs in the network section of the gateway and the U-Healthcare center system, the data is normally stored in the biometric database of the U-Healthcare center system. Problems can occur when saving.

In this case, it is necessary to process the request for retransmission of each data (biological information) together with the record of the section in which the error occurred, but the current U-Healthcare center system does not properly implement such a function. An example thereof will be described with reference to FIG. 1.

1 is a configuration diagram of an embodiment of a conventional U-Healthcare system.

As shown in FIG. 1, the conventional U-Healthcare system transmits biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal 11 through a wireless module 13 or 14 through a gateway (eg, a home gateway or Cell phone, etc.), and the gateway 12 transmits to the U-Healthcare center system 15 through the wireless module 14 and the mobile communication network. In the conventional method, the center server 18 of the U-Healthcare center system 15 receives all the data (biological information) received from the biometric information measuring terminal 11 through the data receiving module 16. Since it is stored and managed in the biometric information database 17, regardless of whether or not the value (biometric information) measured by the user through the biometric information measuring terminal 11 is correctly transmitted, it is recorded in the biometric information database 17 and is stored in the user or doctor. Is provided.

Therefore, the conventional method has a problem in that the biometric information database 17 cannot be trusted because inaccurate data (biometric information) is stored in the biometric information database 17 as it is, thereby providing the biometric information in error.

Next, a process of transmitting and processing the biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal to the U-Healthcare center system will be described in more detail.

In general, when transmitting biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal, a response command occurs for each message, and a response message for a request message usually occurs within 10 seconds. If a device generating a request message does not receive a response message within 10 seconds, the device generates a request message again. This process is repeated up to 3 times for one frame, and if the response message is not received even after repeating 3 times, transmission of the corresponding frame is stopped. When the frame transmission is stopped as described above, the user or administrator is notified of the fact, and if there is an error in the request frame, the device receiving the request message ignores the frame. At this time, the transmission of the frame is interrupted and an interruption processing event is transmitted to the normal biometric information sorting apparatus according to the present invention to generate an error processing message.

In the conventional method, the process may include a process of stopping transmission or requesting retransmission on the protocol, but it is not processed by storing and managing a log of an error. In addition, data may not be delivered properly when the biological information measuring terminal serving as a transmission medium is turned off or when an error occurs in the communication section during transmission.In the case of data transmitted to a U-Healthcare center system Incorrect data may be stored in the biometric information database as it is due to an error during transmission.

These errors present negative and fatal problems for the U-Healthcare center system that stores and manages human biometric information, and can also lose confidence in the service of the patient being served.

Therefore, it is necessary to record accurate data (bio information) that does not have such an error in the bio information database of the U-Healthcare center system and to manage the cause of the error, thereby providing reliable U-health care (U- Healthcare There is an urgent need for a way to build a center system.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems and to meet the above requirements, and analyzes the log information of the received data (bio information) and checks the status of the bio information measurement terminal, and then uses the message reference table to display the biometrics without errors or omissions.

A center server 28 for providing a U-Healthcare service is provided. The U-Healthcare center system 25 may be physically implemented as two or more servers, or physically as one server.

Here, the U-Healthcare system transmits the biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal 21 equipped with the wireless module 23 to the gateway 22 and the wireless module 24 mounted thereon, And through a wired / wireless network (eg, a mobile communication network or the Internet) to the normal biometric information sorting device 26. Then, the normal biometric information sorting device 26 analyzes log information of the received data (biometric information) and checks the state of the biometric information measuring terminal 21 and then uses the message reference table (see FIGS. 3 and 5). Biometric information without errors or omissions is selected and transferred to the center server 28 to be stored in the biometric information database 27 or directly stored in the biometric information database 27.

That is, the normal biometric information sorting device 26 checks the state of the biometric information measuring terminal 21, the state of the received data (transmission time, data item, etc.), omissions or transmission errors, and uses the message reference table to check the biometric information. By selecting and storing only the data (bio information) classified as 'normal' in the bio information database 27, it is possible to ensure the reliability of the bio information database.

As such, the normal biometric information sorting device 26 analyzes and classifies the received biometric information before storing it in the biometric information database 27. At this time, the status of the biometric information measuring terminal 21 and the normal processing of data on the protocol are checked through a predefined message reference table to classify the actions according to each case. When the classified action is 'normal', the data (biological information) is stored in the biometric information database 27, and in the case of 'retransmission', the request is retransmitted to the biometric information measuring terminal 21, and the 'error' If classified as, the biometric information is discarded without storing it separately.

As shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus for sorting normal biometric information according to the present invention includes a receiver 31 for receiving biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal 21 and state information of the biometric information measuring terminal. Terminal status information processing unit 32 for checking the status information of the biological information measuring terminal received through the receiving unit 31, log information for recording the log information of the data (bio information) received through the receiving unit 31 The recording unit 33, the log information analyzer 34 for reading and analyzing the log information of the log information recording unit 33, and the biometric information according to the terminal state and the data state (e.g. whether the data is processed normally in a protocol). A message reference table 36 which pre-defines actions for the user, terminal state information from the terminal state information processor 32 and log information analyzed by the log information analyzer 34. The biometric information classification unit 35 and the biometric information classification unit 35 for classifying biometric information by applying an analysis result (for example, a data state such as whether there is a data error) to the message reference table 36 It includes a biometric information processing unit 37 for storing the normal biometric information in the biometric information database 27, and a transmission unit 38 for transmitting the request information to the biometric information measuring terminal 21 side.

In this case, the terminal state information processing unit 32 checks whether the terminal state information periodically or periodically transmitted from the biometric information measuring terminal 21 has reached the biometric information classification unit 35. If the terminal state information is transmitted, and if the terminal state information is not normally reached, the terminal state information is checked and the terminal state information is requested to the biometric information measuring terminal 21 through the transmitter 38 through the receiver 31. I receive it. The transmitting / receiving units 31 and 38 transmit / receive a request message and a response message according to the processing result of each component in a known manner.

The biometric information classification unit 35 analyzes terminal state information (eg, pause, transmission, standby, error, etc.) from the terminal state information processing unit 32 and log information analyzed by the log information analyzer 34. The result (for example, data error or not) is applied to the message reference table 36 to classify the biometric information into one of 'normal', 'retransmit', and 'error'.

When the classification action classified by the biometric information classification unit 35 is 'normal', the biometric information processing unit 37 stores the data (biometric information) in the biometric information database 27 and retransmits it.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for selecting normal biometric information using a message reference table according to the present invention.

Since the detailed embodiments are as described above, only important processing procedures for the normal biometric information selection method will be briefly described here.

First, the message reference table 36 defines and stores an action for biometric information in advance according to the terminal state and the data state (eg, whether data is processed normally in a protocol) (not shown). .

Thereafter, the receiver 31 receives the biometric information measured by the biometric information measuring terminal 21 and the state information of the corresponding biometric information measuring terminal (401).

Thereafter, the terminal state information processing unit 32 obtains state information of the biometric information measuring terminal received through the receiving unit 31 (402).

The log information recording unit 33 records log information of the data (biological information) received through the receiving unit 31 (403), and the log information analyzing unit 34 logs the log information of the log information recording unit 33. Read and analyze (404). In this case, the processes "402" and "403, 404" may be performed in a different order.

Subsequently, the biometric information classification unit 35 analyzes the terminal state information from the terminal state information processing unit 32 and the log information analysis result analyzed by the log information analysis unit 34 (for example, data status such as data error or the like). ) Is applied to the message reference table 36 to classify the biometric information (405).

Thereafter, the biometric information processing unit 37 stores the normal biometric information classified by the biometric information classification unit 35 in the biometric information database 27 (406).

5 is a structural diagram of an embodiment of a message reference table according to the present invention.

As shown in Fig. 5, the message reference table is recorded in each field by dividing the state of the terminal and the state of the transmitted data as previously defined.

Here, the power state of the terminal is largely divided into ON / OFF. If the terminal is powered off, no data will be transmitted and stored accordingly. The state that the power of the terminal is ON is largely divided into the following four categories.

First, the idle state is when the terminal is in a state before transmission.

Secondly, the run state is a state in which data is being transmitted, and the message does not complete the arrival of the message to the normal biometric information sorting device according to the present invention.

Thirdly, the stop state is a pause state during transmission.

Fourth, an interrupt state is a state in which data transmission is interrupted due to a network error or an error in a terminal, or transmission processing is interrupted before transmission is completed.

Actions are classified as follows according to the state of each terminal and the presence or absence of data errors recorded in the log information recording unit. At this time, the error of the data is determined through a checksum on the biometric information transmission / reception protocol. The data error in the determination process manages an error due to abnormal data format or missing some fields although the data message is not completely transmitted or data is normally received. The transmission delay manages a state in which the transmission is delayed due to data retransmission processing or a poor connection state. For example, in order to detect each state, a distinction flag is placed on the transmission / reception protocol so that the biometric information measuring terminal and the communication section may be checked.

6 is a detailed flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a biometric information sorting method of the normal biometric information selection method according to the present invention.

First, the biometric information classification unit 35 applies terminal state information and log information analysis results (eg, data error or not) to the message reference table 36 (601).

Accordingly, it is checked whether the terminal state is the transmission state (RUN) (602) and if the terminal state is the transmission state (603), the state of the data is checked (603). In step 604, if the data state is normal, classify as a 'normal' action (605).

On the other hand, the check result 602, if the terminal state is not the transmission state (RUN), and if the terminal state is an error (interrupt) (606), if the terminal state is an error (interrupt), regardless of whether or not the normal data It is classified as an 'error' action (607).

On the other hand, the check result 606, if the terminal state is not an interrupt (interrupt), check whether the terminal state is a stand-by (stop) (608) if the terminal state is a stand-by (stop) to check the state of the data ( If it is not normal, it is classified as a 'retransmission' action (610). If the data state is normal, it is classified as a 'normal' action (611). In this case, the stop state is a state in which the biological information measuring terminal is temporarily stopped during transmission. In this case, if the data is normally received, it is classified as normal, and in case of an error, the message may be stopped during the transmission.

On the other hand, if the check result (608), if the terminal state is not a stop (stop), after checking whether the terminal state is idle (612) (612), and checks the state of the data (613) is not normal If the data state is normal, it is classified as a 'normal' action (615). In this case, since the idle state is idle before data transmission, if the previous data has already been received, the idle state is classified as normal, and if the idle state is not, the retransmission process is requested.

As described above, classifying data (bio information) through a message reference table and determining an action according thereto may prevent data from being recorded in the biometric information database in an error state. The normal bioinformation screening device may be implemented in the same system as the center server, or may be configured as a separate server.

As described above, the method of the present invention may be implemented as a program and stored in a recording medium (CD-ROM, ROM, RAM, floppy disk, hard disk, magneto-optical disk, etc.) in a computer-readable form. Since this process can be easily implemented by those skilled in the art will not be described in more detail.

The present invention described above is capable of various substitutions, modifications, and changes without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention for those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains. It is not limited by the drawings.

As described above, the present invention, in providing the U-Health service through the U-Healthcare center system, etc., improves the reliability of the biological information provided to the patient and the doctor and improves the quality of the service. There is an effect that can be improved.

That is, the present invention analyzes, classifies, and manages data (biological information) according to each case that may be caused by an error of data by a data transmission / reception protocol or an error of a communication section on transmission, and subsequent actions according to the result. By taking an action, it is possible to prevent meaningless data or error data from being stored in the biometric information database. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the data transmission error due to the operation error or terminal condition of the actual biometric information measuring terminal as much as possible, and to improve the quality of U-Healthcare service by providing reliable biometric information to the patient. .

In addition, the present invention eliminates unnecessary storage devices and waste of processing in storing and managing a large amount of biometric information, thereby enabling the operation of a U-Healthcare center system more efficiently.
