Description

  The present invention relates to a method for supplying medical and health information in real time using a computer system, and relates to a method for updating, deleting, registering, and associating.

  2. Description of the Related Art It has been known that information related to the body such as illness and health information, hospitals, and medical information is provided using printed materials such as books and pamphlets and CD-ROM digital recording media. In addition, the use of broadcasting has helped many people provide one-way but prevalent illnesses, countermeasures, diets, health information, and so on. In addition, by using the Internet, two-way communication between users, people with the same symptoms and troubles, providing the latest information, and promptly advertising good hospitals, doctors, and products related to illness and health. Can be provided.

  A user can input information terminals such as a PC and a mobile phone immediately, thereby proactively examining information and providing his / her symptoms and experiences to other users.

However, when there is a defect in the body and the symptom is examined, you can select from a lot of related information, but in order to search by showing the location in detail, it is necessary to search the symptom and location in a document or word . When the left part of the head hurts, a certain degree of knowledge about medical care is required in order to search for the name of a disease or part occurring in the left part of the head. When the sole of your foot hurts, you must specify the toe or heel of your foot.

  In addition, many people do not necessarily know the internal organs and body names and their locations. Many do not know where the kidneys are. When there is a defect, it is difficult to indicate the specific location and it is difficult to indicate the actual symptom location.

  Thus, even if computer systems become widespread, search means, which is a custom from books, is used for documenting and searching.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and the object of the present invention is to indicate the location of the body as much as possible on a map, and to specify the problematic location quickly and intuitively without verbalization. In addition, by providing information and advertisements for the location, it is possible to efficiently browse the necessary medical, medicine, and health information, and to search for coping methods and hospital information.

  When the user switches, the map of the body is hierarchized, and the map can be switched according to the purpose of whether it is a muscle, an organ, or a blood vessel. Moreover, not only the keyboard but also the existing mouse, motion controller, and game controller can be used to directly refer to the location on the body map.

  This is to provide a system that users can use voluntarily and efficiently when there is a problem with the body or when they want to deepen their education by obtaining information. Each information is up-to-date and distributed on the network. By sharing information between users and users, communication between people with the same symptoms, consultation and counseling at a long distance, and doctors should obtain information from patients in advance of the actual examination Can be dealt with faster.

  In order to solve the above-described problem, in the invention described in claim 1, in order to supply medical and health information by a computer system, a human body map is output to a screen based on pre-registered image data and used. The person can indicate the position of the body with the pointer in the virtual coordinates in the screen.

By using the existing computer input device according to the second aspect, the human body in the screen is rotated, expanded, or enlarged / reduced to represent a detailed human body part like a map.
The virtual coordinates shown are indicated by the x, y, and z axes, and the numbers of the cells and textures that contain the coordinates, and the Internet URL with the coordinates added are calculated, and the virtual coordinate position in the main image is calculated from inside and outside the system. It can be linked and can be linked from other applications and browsers in the computer.
In the invention of claim 2, the information provider registers the disease name corresponding to the cell number and virtual coordinates of claim 1, the product advertisement image and description, and the link inside and outside the system to related items, and the user When the human body map is displayed, the title and information of the data and related images are output on the same coordinates on the screen. At this time, it is possible to display only necessary information by switching information for each required field / category with a switch on the user's system. The user can output an Internet link or other information by selecting and clicking this display. As for the pointer movement on the human body map, it is moved and selected with a keyboard, mouse, game controller, and medical instrument as an input device of the computer.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, the user logs in each time after registration in the system, or the usage history can be recorded in the local PC. Information is obtained by obtaining a tendency based on the URL generated from the coordinates selected by the user, the record of the mesh, the number of times of recording, the tendency of the location, the usage time and the season. The user's preference and tendency can be acquired, and further, the user can register and save the information, so that the location of the map can be directly displayed at the next access. Moreover, the display priority of information can be changed according to the designation frequency of the coordinates selected by the user.

  In the invention of claim 4, the coordinates specified by the user on the human body map can be recorded with a name, and by specifying the name, the location of the image can be directly displayed, User's arbitrary document information and images can be recorded and stored.

  In the invention of claim 5, claims 1 to 4 are that the information provider's information is used by the user in one direction, but the user's provided information is provided to other users and information providers. Sharing information, responding to and sending information provided by information providers, managing information for all users, processing trends for all users, and providing information It is to set priority.

  In the invention of claim 6, as a method of expressing the depth of the human body, it is possible to select an image for each part or organ required by the user by hierarchizing images.

  In the invention of claim 7, the information distributor can set a sound waveform at an arbitrary coordinate position or grid area on the human body map. When the human body map is displayed on the user's computer system, if the above sound waveform is set in advance at the designated coordinate point, the sound can be reproduced by the user's selection.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  First, before describing the embodiments of the present invention, the positioning of the present invention will be described. Each information such as medical information, related advertisements, and medicines is to be provided to a user by one person. The part corresponding to the providing method is the present invention. Someone refers to an information distributor, but as a characteristic of the Internet, information can be exchanged in both directions in real time. Information distributors can provide information not only to medical professionals and advertisement distribution companies, but also to users who have received such information. It is also assumed that a product is recommended to another user and a kickback is obtained when the product is purchased by another user.

  However, for the sake of convenience, the information distributor and the user are uniquely divided. The present invention refers to a system for smoothly performing an unspecified number of interactive medical and health communications.

1: Overall Configuration Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the present embodiment. Reference numeral 1 in this figure is and is connected to the Internet line. Reference numerals 10 to 19 are various terminals such as a PC, a game machine, a PDA, a mobile phone, and an electronic dictionary, and have an input unit such as a touch pad, a keyboard, a mouse, and a game controller as a display screen and an input device.

  Note that, as indicated by reference numeral 15, when an Internet line cannot be used at all times or when it is implemented locally without using it, it is necessary to use an external recording device such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or flash memory or a recording device in each client. By storing and providing an input device and a sound source device, the same function can be realized.

  The storage means 21 stores image materials to be displayed on the screen, layout coordinates for arranging images, and human images of women, men, and ages and types of images. Human body images are stored in layers such as the whole body surface, each part, internal organs, bones, muscles, etc., and each image is transmitted at the request of the client.

  Further, the user can store his / her own file in each storage unit 21 so that his / her body image can be displayed and shared with other users. For example, it is possible to reflect the treatment scars and unique features of the site on the image.

  They can be extended to low-spec client devices for lighter human body images and vice versa for high-resolution image data for advanced use.

The storage means 22 stores advertisement information. These are the coordinate management table, description text, image size, and link destination URL of the display location for an advertisement supplied from the outside. This also supports general-purpose Internet advertising models such as affiliate programs.
Further, by storing in the storage means 22 from the outside, it is possible to own and manage the advertisement information inside, and the same processing as described above is possible.

  The displayed information that the user clicked on the advertisement object is also stored in the storage means 22. Thereby, it is possible to give superiority or inferiority to the display in the database and the external affiliate advertisement.

  The storage means 23 stores, as health information, diet, meal, exercise, trivia, statistics, and liberal information, and also stores human body map coordinate information related to the information. For each part, for example, around the abdomen, instructional literature for reducing visceral fat is displayed. It also stores data such as game and quiz issues using human body maps.

  When the community bulletin board is installed at the coordinates set on the human body map by the user and the icon or title is clicked, the storage means 24 appears as a writable bulletin board or memo. In addition to the user-only memo function, a community bulletin board is also created for use with other users. Community bulletin board participant user information, ID, and record information are stored.

  The storage means 25 stores hospital information. Based on the user's login information, information on hospitals in the area around the user's area is given priority, and the human body map is a database for displaying the hospital of the field or department for each part of the human body map. If the location is the brain, brain surgery information around the user area is displayed according to the coordinates of the human body map.

  The recording means 26 is a database of disease and medicine information. It stores information on diseases and medicines that occur in humans such as home medicine, and when the user points on the human body map around the location of the disease or when searching in the search window To display the disease database. The drug information has a data base such as corresponding drug information, sushi drinks, and images based on the disease and part.

  The storage unit 27 stores registered user information accessed from the client. By inputting the user name, password, gender, age, weight, carefulness, blood type, residence area, work area, etc. from the client, the storage means 22 advertising information and the storage means 25 hospital information in line with the surrounding area Link with the above, and post information on the human body map as appropriate.

  In addition, in order to directly access the points on the human body map after the second time, the points are recorded and bookmarked. The advertisement information that the user recommends is recorded in order to give points when the product is sold by other users at the link destination. It also contains information that summarizes individual registered user information, and manages overall statistics and makeup information.

  The storage means 28 also stores sound waveforms related to the human body and operation sounds of the system, and coordinate points where the sounds exist are also linked. Furthermore, it is possible to extend the user by storing the sound waveform from the Internet.

2: Description of Operation Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described. Terminals 10 to 14 in FIG. 1 are connected to 1 for communication and both function as terminals of the advertisement requester. If the DBs 31 to 39 are installed in each CD-ROM or memory area and the execution processing program is executed as shown in FIG. 3 without connecting to the Internet as shown in FIG. do.

  Furthermore, when connecting to the Internet, only the information difference may be stored in a local hard disk or memory. This is effective for both a home game machine and a portable music player that are not always connected to the Internet, or that are regularly connected to the Internet.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram for explaining the reference numeral 1 on the assumption that each client after the reference numeral 10 is connected to the first client. Reference numeral 30 is recognized by the reference numeral 20 processing means in accordance with a command instructed by a client connected to the Internet, and processing is performed by reference numeral 29 program. Therefore, the databases of reference numerals 21 to 27 are searched, the information is communicated to each client, and the 20 clients are displayed and processed.

  Further, it is also possible to communicate with another through the Internet with reference numeral 30 and update the databases and programs with reference numerals 21 to 28 to the latest information. This is to update or update the hospital or advertisement DB. Each database stores a dress for each client to directly access the other, and each client can directly access the other. This is because the advertisement data often has data in each advertiser, and it is more efficient if it can be directly accessed.

FIG. 3 is an explanation when processing is performed without going through the net as indicated by reference numeral 15 in FIG. Reference numerals 31 to 39 are the same as described above, and it can be seen that the processing is directly executed in the PC.
FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing the main program. Hereinafter, this will be described.

2-1: Registration Registration Screen When accessing the site of this service, the main screen FIG. 7 flowchart yu-1 is displayed on the client side. FIG. 7 is a client-side display image as seen by the user. Registration is not essential because it is intended for many users, including users at first glance. However, if you are interested in the human body map image or data at any time, or if you want to record information that is essential for the user in advance, you can register that information by registering the user. Can be reflected at any time and when accessed by other clients.

FIG. 7Z71 shows an example of user registration and login. The user registration is basically an e-mail address and attribute information associated therewith, such as height, weight, BMI, blood type, residence address, work address, and current location. The number of GPS-equipped models such as mobile phones, car navigation systems, and PCs has increased, and even if they are not installed, by registering themselves, when accessing at home or accessing at work, advertisements and information suitable for each region Can be delivered. Display hospitals and pharmacies preferentially from around the user.

  By acquiring the COKIE and IP address for each access and storing them in the client-side browser, the previous setting data can be reflected without being conscious of registration. The previous settings are recorded so that it is convenient for registered users and easy for non-registered users.

2-2: Main display The main screen yu-1 is displayed regardless of registered users and non-registered users. FIG. 4 shows display areas and contents. The display example reflects the above database codes 21 to 28 in FIG. 7, and information display and actual human body images are displayed. As for image display, a 3D display of a photograph showing an actual human body is displayed from the reference 21 human body database, and a graphic design figure such as Z72 is also displayed. This is because the photograph displays the inside of the body such as the internal organs, or medically displays the genitals, which may make the subject user feel uncomfortable. As shown in FIG. 5 yu 2, data imitating various people on the human body DB such as a person, race, and sex close to his / her body shape can be selected according to the user's preference.

2-3: Human body display The human body display portion can be enlarged or reduced or rotated by operating the client side input device, and can be viewed from various viewpoints of 360 degrees. As shown in FIG. 8, when the eye portion is examined, the eye portion is focused with a mouse pointer or the like, and zooming in is performed using the volume and each controller on the screen display of FIG. If you zoom in further, the focus is on the inside of the human body.

  In this way, the site, organ, blood flow, skeleton, etc. can be switched smoothly from the entire body. Furthermore, when zooming in on a part, it is assumed that the user loses sight of the position of the part as a whole. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 7Z76, it is possible to obtain from the entire image of the DB 21 where the part currently displayed on the screen is the part of the whole body, and to immediately move the square frame from the pointer coordinates. I can do it.

2-4: Information display on the human body When the pointer is placed on the human body display, the surrounding information is output to the screen. Fig. 7Z73 Focusing on the navel, search for diseases that occur in the vicinity, hospitals that treat diseases related to the navel and stomach, community bulletin boards dealing with topics related to the navel and stomach, health-related shops, You can also register My Maps for direct display at the next access. And by selecting each item, information is displayed like yu7 Z74. Further, when it is desired to read the whole sentence, detailed display is performed as in yu8 Z75. In this screen example, the names of diseases that occur around the navel are displayed from the DB 26. And as advertisement display, like Z77, the goods relevant to this part are displayed, and it hits a pointer and clicks, and it jumps to a goods page with a link.

  In addition, when there are many information displays, the human body becomes very difficult to see, and display information can be switched by yu5 as shown in FIG. By specifying this switch, it is possible to switch whether the hospital information is to be displayed on the human body or the community information.

2-5: Bulletin Board In the case of FIG. 10, the information display selection is set to community information in yu6, and the bulletin board title set by another user is displayed on the right side of the screen. Selecting this will open a bulletin board with a link. It is possible to exchange information such as people who have actually experienced illnesses in the surrounding area and information on their future healing. Further, as shown in FIG. 11, the user can create a community bulletin board by himself and becomes a community manager. Other users can also access and share information.

2-6: URL and link display As shown in FIG. 8 yu 8, the URL of the coordinates is displayed at the location where the user designates the point. This can be linked directly from the outside by adding the coordinate value following the domain name, Internet and intranet addresses where this system is installed. In the case of FIG. 8, by designating this URL from another bulletin board on the Internet, a homepage, a blog, or an e-mail, other users can directly see the zoomed-in state of the eyeball portion. For example, when a patient tells a doctor at a long distance the location of the defect, the doctor can transmit the defect location by specifying this URL when confirming with the patient.

  Further, the link with other Internet services and applications can be achieved by this URL and link display. For example, in an electronic medical record system, other applications, and medical services on the Internet, you can directly display the URL by specifying this URL when expressing a disease name or symptom. This image can be displayed as if it were an image in its own service on another Internet service or application.

2-7: The detailed information display yu8 is displayed as a whole as in Z75 when the digest information displayed in Z74 is displayed in more detail. When the display is closed, the previous display of the human body is restored. Furthermore, external links are made to detailed pages, related information pages, advertisements, and other pages. yu9

2-8: Information registered by the bookmark user is stored in the user information of the DB 27 in FIG. According to the step of FIG. 5 yu 10, the disease name, advertisement, hospital name, community, etc. are registered and stored in the user DB 12. The client display is displayed as shown in FIG. 12, and the site can be directly specified at every access. Also, the registration can be canceled as shown in FIG.

2-9: Search The step of FIG. 5 yu 12 is a mechanism for searching for information on this system. When the keyword to be searched is input in the search frame of the place of Z75 as shown in FIG. 14, the DBs 21 to 27 are searched, and the corresponding information is displayed as shown in FIG. 15 to explain the eyeball. Like Z151 in FIG. 15, keywords searched around the eyeball can be expressed from the tabulation of DB27 user information, and what all users are interested in can be displayed.

2-10: Sound source reproduction The step of yu13 in FIG. 5 reproduces the sound source corresponding to the coordinates on the human body image from the DB 29 in FIG. The processing unit 20 acquires pointer coordinates, and when the coordinates are included in the coordinates in the DB 28 or the human body number on the human body, or when it exists in the vicinity, the sound can be reproduced. The screen is displayed as in Z151. The figure shows a speaker, and clearly shows that the user can reproduce the sound.

  As for the sound source in the DB 28, heart sounds, muscle sounds, etc. are prepared as body sounds in the initial stage, but the user may expand and upload the sound waveform. If automatic setting is performed as in Z152, sound can be automatically reproduced when the pointer is within the coordinates. At this time, if the sound can be reproduced in stereophonic sound or stereo, and the sound localization or strength is changed at the pointer position, the location of the sound is represented, and a user with visual impairment can also operate. If it is in the vicinity of the head, there may be an audio file that generates a part name, such as “head”, and if the pointer is removed from the body part, a warning sound may be sounded. About the explanation of the location, explanation can be generated by voice synthesis by the reading function of the equipment outside the system.

3: Marketing FIG. 2 No. 27 User information DB stores the usage history of registered and non-registered users who use this system, and also records the access history to other DBs in the internal and external systems. By counting the information of all users in the user information DB, the total data related to all DBs, such as which advertising products you are interested in, whether you purchased, or are interested in illness as marketing data, This can be done for the whole body, for each part, for female users, male users, blood types, regions, etc.

4: Printing, e-mail output, and external link users can perform screen shots of the human body and information by using the print switch shown in FIG. This is a part of the operation system printer settings, but by outputting the human body and information from an externally connected printer to paper, the information can be transmitted to a doctor in the hospital and handed over. .

  Similarly, the mail switch of the operation system is launched by the mail switch, and the URL recording the coordinates of the current screen display part can be pasted on the mail and transmitted to the mail address designated by the user. Can be achieved. The page link as shown in FIG. 8 can be written in a text box or the like of another application by outputting and copying the URL in which the current screen display part coordinates are recorded.

The invention's effect

  As described above, according to the present invention, the human body is shown like a map, so that information on the body, medical care, medicine, and the like can be searched and investigated sensuously without being verbalized. Conversely, information distributors such as advertisements visually display products on the human body through user's intuitive operations and appeal with images and senses.

  Moreover, the user assumes not only a healthy person but all users. The present invention includes the explanation of the body part and explanation by sound and voice, and even a visually impaired person can grasp the coordinates of the body part indicated by the pointer by listening to the sound with the controller. be able to. Users with language inconvenience can easily send emails to doctors by pointing, printing, and linking URLs as means for communicating with others.
