BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a portable terminal, and more particularly, to a method for providing an ultraviolet index to a business operator or an ultraviolet index forecasting institution through a portable terminal equipped with an ultraviolet sensor.
Ultraviolet rays are included in various light sources, including sunlight. Ultraviolet radiation, which has a shorter wavelength than visible blue or violet light, is mainly classified into three types: ultraviolet-A (UVA), ultraviolet-B (UVB), and ultraviolet-C (UVC). Ultraviolet-A with a wavelength of about 320-400 nm is not absorbed by the ozone layer. Ultraviolet-B with a wavelength of about 280-320 nm is mostly absorbed by the ozone layer, but some reach the ground surface. Ultraviolet-C, with a wavelength of around 100-280 nm, is completely absorbed by the ozone layer.

Ultraviolet rays are bactericidal and can produce vitamin D when irradiated by the human body, but UV-A and especially UV-B penetrate the surface of the skin, causing burns and increasing the frequency of skin cancer and cataracts. Can cause. Due to the depletion of the ozone layer and the associated increase in solar ultraviolet rays reaching the surface, the risks to the human body are associated with personal habits such as the degree of sun exposure.

The use of a simple and universally applicable solar UV index around the world is recommended for the purpose of sharing information on the extent to which solar ultraviolet light affects the human body. The UV Index is a forecast, not a measurement, that indicates the amount of sunbathing and was developed to urge attention to UV rays. Originally, the Index was developed by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). ), A joint forecast developed by the US Meteorological Bureau (NWS) and the Defense Center (CDC). To date, no country other than the United States has forecasts, but only forecasts using data provided by the United States.

The UV index refers to the amount of radiation in the ultraviolet-B (UV-B) region that reaches the surface at the midnight time with the maximum solar altitude, divided into 10 grades, where 0 represents the lowest risk when exposed and 9 or more. This means that the risk is very high when overexposed. The UV Index provides information about human skin risks that are expected from overexposure to the sun and indicates how much care should be taken when outdoors.

The UV index can be classified into very low (0 ~ 2.9), low (3 ~ 4.9), normal (5 ~ 6.9), high (7 ~ 8.9), and very high (more than 9). UV index is very low at 1 hour 50 minutes, low at 1 hour 40 minutes, normal at least 1 hour, high at 40 minutes and at very high 30 minutes Exposure can also cause red spots on your skin. The degree of red staining according to the exposure time may vary depending on the skin constitution as shown in FIG. 1.

Because the stratospheric ozone amount and cloud have a great influence on the UV intensity reaching the ground, the Meteorological Administration forecasts the UV index by considering the stratospheric ozone amount and weather changes. The Meteorological Agency's UV index forecast is announced twice a day. The 06 o'clock announcement is the same day, and the 18:00 announcement shows the UV index of the next day.

Although the announcement by the Korea Meteorological Agency is in the nature of forecasting the UV index in advance, it does not provide information about the ultraviolet rays that change over time, so it can not cope with the fluctuation of the ultraviolet rays locally, for example, in Gangwon-do, Seoul It provides only approximate information that covers a wide area, such as the area, and thus the accuracy of the application in real life is less.

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for operators to select and sell products required by regions through an ultraviolet index provided in a portable terminal equipped with an ultraviolet sensor.

Another object of the present invention relates to a method in which an ultraviolet index forecaster can inform an accurate ultraviolet index by region through an ultraviolet index provided in a portable terminal equipped with an ultraviolet sensor.

 Another object of the present invention relates to a method in which the UV index forecaster can identify and prepare for UV problems through the UV index provided by a portable terminal equipped with an ultraviolet sensor.

A method of providing an ultraviolet index service through a portable terminal for achieving the above object includes the steps of measuring the ultraviolet index in the portable terminal, and transmitting the measured ultraviolet index and the position information of the portable terminal to a set UV index transmission time. According to the present invention, a process of transmitting to the service provider, a process of statistic analysis of the region's ultraviolet index through the received ultraviolet index and location information, and the process of selecting the product by region through the statistical data.
