Here, the subscriber measurement information storage unit 233 may build up measurement information in a database according to a measurement date and time, a subscriber designation number, and a measurement item.

The controller 220 converts the measurement information into a voice message using the codec 207 and the digital processor 208 and stores the measured information in the voice mailbox 237 (S311).

If the measurement time is less than the reference time, it is recognized that it cannot be treated as effective measurement information (NO in 309), and the measurement biometric information provided from the biometric information analysis module 213 is ignored and terminated (312).

If it is not in the telephone call mode (NO in 301), the controller 220 determines whether the biometric information measurement mode is performed according to an input command from the keypad 230.

As shown in FIG. 4, if it is determined in the biometric information measurement mode (Yes of 401), the control unit 220 determines whether the hook switch 201 is on according to the detection signal of the hook detection unit 202. When the handset 100 is lifted (YES in 402), the control unit 220 displays a measurement guide message on the display unit 231 for inducing a correct measurement (403).

Thereafter, the controller 220 may analyze the voice pattern of the subscriber with the voice recognition module 205 and identify the subscriber based on whether the voice pattern matches the registered subscriber voice pattern or identify the subscriber by the designated number input by the subscriber (404). ). Then, using the optical sensor 103 and the electrode sensor 104, which is a biometric information sensor installed in the handset 100, heart rate, arrhythmia, and stress index are measured (405).

When the hook switch 201 is turned off (NO in 402) and the subscriber sets the blood pressure measurement mode through the keypad 230 (YES in 406), the controller 220 controls the blood pressure measurement unit 212 to correct blood pressure. Measurement guide message, such as the measurement time for measuring the, blood pressure measurement precautions are displayed on the display unit 231 (407). Then, the subscriber voice pattern may be analyzed by the voice recognition module 205 to identify the subscriber or the subscriber by the subscriber designation number input by the subscriber (408). After the subscriber is identified, the blood pressure value determined by the blood pressure determining unit 218 is provided to the controller 220 according to the signal measured by the blood pressure measuring unit 212 (409).

When the hook switch 201 is turned off (NO in 402) and the subscriber sets the blood sugar measurement mode through the keypad 230 (YES in 410), the control unit 220 controls the blood sugar measurement unit 22 to correct blood sugar. The measurement guide message, such as a measurement time for measuring the amount of blood sugar, and precautions for measuring blood sugar, is displayed on the display unit 231 (412). The subscriber voice pattern may then be analyzed or the subscriber identified by the designated number entered by the subscriber (412). After the subscriber identification, the blood sugar level determined by the blood sugar determining unit 217 is provided to the controller 220 according to the signal measured by the blood sugar measuring unit 211 (413).

As described above, in step 405, 409, and 413, the measurement time is counted and provided to the controller 220 through the timer 206, and the controller 220 may recognize the measurement time. In addition, the controller 220 determines whether there is a call transfer request for making a phone call from an external user. If there is no call switch request (NO in 414), the control unit 220 determines whether the measurement information is valid (415).

When the measurement time counted by the timer 206 reaches the reference time and is recognized as effective measurement information (YES in 415), the controller 220 determines whether the subscriber is in an emergency based on a result of comparing the measurement information with the reference value. (416). If it is not an emergency, the measured biometric information of the subscriber is displayed on the display unit 231 and stored in the subscriber measurement information storage unit 233 (417). In this case, the biorhythm information about the body index, the emotion index, and the intelligence index of the subscriber identified by the biorhythm information storage unit 235 as well as the subscriber biometric information measured on the display unit 231 may be read and displayed on the display unit 231. have. Here, the subscriber measurement information storage unit 233 may build up measurement information in a database according to a measurement date and time, a subscriber designation number, and a measurement item. In addition, the controller 220 converts the measurement information into a voice message using the codec 207 and the digital processor 208 and stores the measured information in the voice mailbox 237 (418).

Thereafter, if the controller 220 does not correspond to the reservation transmission set by the subscriber (NO in 419), the controller 220 ends the measurement of the biometric information. In this case, the reservation transmission is to provide a change in the health status of the subscriber by displaying the history of the biometric information corresponding to the measurement time when a predetermined number of reservation conditions, for example, the predetermined number of measurement of the subscriber biometric information are accumulated. In other words, not only the current measurement time but also the previously measured information can be statistically provided to provide a change in the state of health.

On the other hand, if there is a call switching request while measuring the biometric information (Yes of 414), for example, the control unit 220 recognizes the call request from the external user from the calling party through the ring signal detector 202, and requests the call to the display unit 231. The reception of can be indicated. As shown in FIG. 5, the subscriber may input a switch command requesting a call transfer through the keypad 230 (Yes of 501), and may have a voice conversation with the caller external user through the handset 100 (502). . After completing the call with the external user of the calling party, the process proceeds to step 415) to process the measured subscriber biometric information.

If the switch command is not input for a predetermined time even after the reception of the call request is displayed on the display unit 231 (NO of 501), the controller 220 recognizes that there is no intention to talk, and the control unit 220 turns off the hook switch 201. (504). In operation 415, the measured subscriber biometric information may be processed.

When the subscriber is determined to be in an emergency situation as a result of comparing the measurement information with the reference value (Yes of 416), the control unit 220 uses the codec 207 and the digital signal processor 208 to measure the subscriber measurement information in the emergency situation as a voice message. The data is converted and stored in the voice mailbox 237 (601). Then, the control unit 220 reads out a designated number for calling an external user to the call number storage unit 234, generates a designated number using the DTMF generator 210, and transmits the designated number to the telephone line 10 (602). ).

If there is a response from an external user of the designated number (YES in 603), the controller 220 transmits a voice message using the codec 206 and the digital signal processor 208 to inform the emergency state of the subscriber (604). ). At this time, the guide information for listening to the measurement information for the subscriber may be included. For example, the voice message “Press 0 if you want to listen to the voice message about the biometric information of the subscriber 000” may be output as a voice signal.

The control unit 220 receives a voice message for the biometric information of the subscriber in emergency situation stored in the voice mailbox 237 when a request for reproducing the voice message is received from an external user having a designated number (Yes of 605). The processor 208 converts the audio signal into an audio signal and outputs the converted audio signal (606). The external user of the designated number can then know the emergency situation of the subscriber by listening to the voice message being played.

3, if the calling number of the calling party external user is the designated number registered by the subscriber in the phone call mode (YES in 303), the designated number may be called after the call and the measurement information may be transmitted as a voice message. This will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

Under the control of the control unit 220, a measurement guide message is displayed on the display unit 231 to induce a correct measurement, perform a voice conversation with an external user using the handset 100, and perform biometric information installed in the handset 100. The heart rate, arrhythmia, and stress index of the subscriber are measured using the optical sensor 103 and the electrode sensor 104, which are measuring sensors (701). The subscriber's measured biometric information is converted into a voice message using the codec 207 and the digital signal processor 208 under the control of the controller 220 and stored in the voice mailbox 237 (702).

Then, the controller 220 determines the end of the call according to the detection signal from the hook detector 202. If it is determined that the call is terminated (YES in step 703), the control unit 220 calls the external user of the designated number through the DTMF generating unit 210 (704).

If there is a response from the external user of the designated number (YES in 705), the controller 220 sends a voice message using the codec 206 and the digital signal processor 208 to inform the biometric information of the subscriber who has the voice conversation. Pass 706. At this time, the guide information for listening to the measurement information for the subscriber may be included. For example, the voice message "If you want to listen to the voice message about the biometric information of the 000 subscriber who has just called" can be output as a voice signal. have.

The control unit 220 receives the voice message for the biometric information of the subscriber corresponding to the previous caller stored in the voice mailbox 237 when there is a request for reproducing the voice message from an external user of the designated number (Yes of 707). The digital signal processor 208 converts the audio signal into an audio signal (S708). The external user of the designated number can then know the biometric information of the subscriber just called by listening to the voice message being played.

4, if it corresponds to the reservation transmission (YES in 419), the subscriber biometric information may be displayed through the display unit 231 according to the reservation condition. As shown in FIG. 8, when the reservation condition preset by the subscriber, for example, the number of measurements is accumulated and the predetermined number of times is reached and the reservation condition is satisfied (YES in 801), the controller 220 stores the subscriber measurement information storage unit ( In operation 802, the display unit 231 displays a history in which changes in the biometric information measured therein are known using the information stored in operation 233. As such, by providing reservation changes as well as current measurement information and providing a change in measurement biometric information for the subscriber, it is possible to provide reliable information on the health status of the subscriber.

Referring to FIG. 9, if the phone call mode and the biometric information measurement mode do not correspond, the controller 220 determines whether the subscriber has an input for setting the search mode through the keypad 230 to retrieve the measured biometric information ( 901). If the determination result is the search mode (YES in 901), the controller 220 determines whether there is a recent search selection through the keypad 230 by the subscriber, and if there is a recent search selection (YES in 902), the controller 220 recognizes the voice. The subscriber may be identified according to whether the subscriber's voice pattern analyzed by the module 205 matches the registered subscriber's voice pattern, or the subscriber may be identified by the designated number input through the keypad 230 by the subscriber (903). Thereafter, the controller 220 searches for the most recent biometric information among the biometric information of the subscriber identified in the subscriber measurement information storage unit 233 (904). In this case, the recent biometric information may be a target of retrieval of measurement information of a predetermined number of times in time. Thereafter, the controller 220 displays the recently retrieved biometric information through the display unit 231 so that the subscriber can check it (905).

If the recent search is not selected by the subscriber (902), the controller 220 determines whether there is a general search selection through the keypad 230 by the subscriber (906). As a result of the determination, if there is a general search selection (YES in 906), the controller 220 displays, on the display unit 231, guide information about a search condition desired by the subscriber, such as a search subscriber, a search measurement time, and a search biometric information item (907). . The subscriber inputs a search condition, and accordingly, the controller 220 searches the subscriber measurement information storage unit 233 for information about a search subscriber, a search measurement time, and a search biometric item corresponding to the search condition (908). The search information is displayed on the display unit 231 based on the search result (909). As such, in the search mode, the biometric information measured by the subscriber can be checked by providing the search information corresponding to the desired search condition or by providing the recent biometric information according to the search type desired by the subscriber. The examination can be performed easily.
