Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

1 is a block diagram of a system of the present invention. As referred to herein, the main server 10 includes a general member DB that stores general member information and a doctor member DB that stores information of doctors in hospitals and hospitals. Both general and physician members should be subscribed to the video communication service, which is the basis for moving picture care. Primary membership in a video communication service means being subscribed as a member to a video communication service providing server which is affiliated with and linked to the main server.

The client group 11 refers to the entire number of general members as well as the individual PCs (patient 1 PC, patient 2 PC, patient 3 PC…) of the provisional patient group as well as the realistic patient. This client group consists of a plurality of patient-specific PCs by general members subscribed to the video communication service, and is directly connected to the PCs of the hospital server with each other's IPs through the membership authentication process by the main server.

The helper group 12 is composed of a number of helper PCs (helper 1 PC, helper 2 PC, helper 3 PC…), and receives the IP address of any patient PC in the client group authenticated through the main server from the main server. Check the patient's reservation information or medical treatment, check the medical doctor's medical schedule of the hospital server, and then transfer the IP of the client PC of the client group to the PC.

The hospital server 13 includes a plurality of doctor PCs (medical PCs, surgical PCs, dermatology PCs, gynecology PCs, pediatric PCs, neurosurgery PCs ...) and databases by medical departments (Medical DB, Surgical DB, Dermatology DB). , Gynecology DB, pediatric DB, neurosurgery DB…), the patient PC and the doctor PC, ie the PC of the attending physician, are provided to the doctor PC designated by the specific helper PC in the helper group. The video call is directly connected with the IP address.

Referring to the process of the remote medical treatment based on the present invention configured as described above are as follows.

First, the remote medical care according to the present invention can be largely divided into five stages.

The first step is to authenticate the user's eligibility for the PC of the general member (patient) who has the IP addressed to the remote medical care site for remote medical care, and output the main screen of the medical center.

In the second step, if any helper in the helper group is selected on the treatment center screen displayed on the patient PC, the patient PC and the helper PC are connected by IP-to-IP by providing an IP of the patient PC to the corresponding helper PC.

In the third step, medical assistant information such as medical treatment, visit information, and attending physician are input to the helper PC from the patient PC, and based on the input information, the doctor or the attending physician of the corresponding medical treatment is selected to determine whether or not the doctor can be treated. do.

In the fourth step, if medical treatment by the doctor in charge of the subject is allowed, the patient PC is provided with the IP of the PC to the PC of the attending physician, thereby connecting the PC of the PC and the PC of the PC by IP to IP.

In the fifth step, the prescription is determined through the medical examination through the video communication of the fourth step and the patient's medical history inquiry, and the medical records and the prescription information of the patient are updated in the patient-specific personal database.

Figure 2 shows the progress of the remote medical treatment by the general member, that is, the patient PC wishing to care during the remote medical treatment process. As referred to here, when a general member accesses the remote medical treatment site, enters an ID (member registration number) and password, logs in, the main server side confirms the membership registration and authenticates the use of the owner of the corresponding ID. Print the screen.

Accordingly, when a user (a patient having an ID) selects an arbitrary helper from among a plurality of helpers in the main menu screen displayed on his PC screen, the corresponding helper PC in the helper group is selected. After that, under the IP control of the main server, the patient PC and the selection assistant PC are directly linked to the IP address to check and exchange image information and other treatment-related information.

The assistant PC collects initial consultation data and reservation information for the patient's care through the IP-to-IP connection with the patient PC, checks the schedule of the attending physician, and establishes the IP of the patient PC to establish a line for the imaging treatment between the patient and the attending physician. To the PC of the hospital server.

Afterwards, if the PC of the PC receives the IP of the patient PC and allows the access, the PC and the PC of the PC are monitored by the main server at regular intervals and checked by IP to IP, thereby enabling remote video medical treatment.

The IP address control and control technology between the client group and the hospital server by the main server for the above-mentioned image treatment is based on the technology of patent application 2000-11557 (filed on March 8, 2000) previously filed by the present applicant.

After the burn treatment is completed, the patient ends the remote treatment by checking the prescription by going to the first treatment center screen menu using his patient PC.

As referred to herein, when any helper PC in the helper group accesses the site, the main server sets the authentication and rating rights of the access helper.

Authenticated assistant opens the room and waits. If there is a request for a conversation (medical) from the patient PC, which is a member of the general public, it is accepted, and access to the patient's medical database for prior information for medical treatment, re-examination, and the attending physician through the conversation through mutual IP direct connection. Obtain by

After that, the assistant selects the PC of the attending physician of the group of the attending physicians of the hospital server to determine whether the attending physician is available for treatment, and then terminates the three-way connection of transferring the IP information of the patient PC to the attending physician's PC.

Figure 4 shows the flow of the remote treatment process in the attending physician's PC for each subject in the hospital server. As referred to here, when the PC of each physician connected to the hospital server accesses the site, enters the doctor member registration number and password, and logs in, the main server registers the doctor member information registered on its own doctor member server. Set authentication and rating authority using. This rating authority may refer to the authority to view the past medical history and medical records listed in the general member's database.

After the authentication process, the attending PC enters the standby state. If a doctor's PC is waiting for a medical application message, the PC checks whether he or she is a patient. When the patient identification information by the PCP of the PCP is notified to the assistant PC in the patient identification step, the assistant PC side provides the IP address of the patient PC to the PCP of the PCP to perform a moving picture-based remote medical treatment of the patient and the PCP.

At this time, the attending physician will call out the past medical records and medication information from the treatment center to refer to the medical treatment and prescription. And wait for the next patient's remote imaging.

On the other hand, the hospital server acts as a secondary server to keep the doctor PC of each subject in the hospital as one, and the main server as well as the patient-specific medical information and various medical information stored in the database of the hospital itself in each subject doctor PC It will provide relevant information about the patient and the doctor.

In addition, the hospital server may share patient information and medical information recorded in other hospital servers through the main server.
