In addition, when the emergency call signal is received from the examinee terminal 120, the health check server 220 displays the current position of the examinee on a screen so that the administrators can check. In this case, the current location of the examinee displays the most recently received location information of the location information measured by the first location recognition method and the location information measured by the second location recognition method.

If the time when the location information measured by the first location recognition method and the location information measured by the second location recognition method are the same, the location information measured by the first location recognition method is displayed first.

In this case, the health examination server 220 may display the movement path from the initial time of the examination to the present time together with the current location of the examinee.

In this case, the examinee can inform the manager of his or her emergency situation during the health checkup process, and the manager can also determine the location of the examinee and take prompt action.

The health examination server 220 transmits a response signal (ACK) to the examinee terminal 120 when an emergency occurs because the examinee makes an emergency call through the examinee terminal 120. Allows the examiner to know that the manager has recognized an emergency.

In addition, the health check server 220 informs the manager of the departure situation of the examinee when the examinee leaves the predetermined health check place. At this time, the departure situation of the examinee can be notified to the administrator through a method such as display through a pop-up window, alarm sound generation, text message transmission. In this case, when using a text message, the location information of the examinee may be transmitted together.

As such, according to an embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to fully automate the health screening process from beginning to end, thereby minimizing the dissatisfaction factor of the customer, improving the work efficiency of the health screening, and the time required for the health screening. Can be minimized.
