2 is a diagram schematically showing an example of determining an emergency situation in a healthcare system according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 illustrates an exercise pattern and an emergency situation in a healthcare system according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a figure which shows schematically an example of judging.

Referring to FIG. 2, when an abnormality is generated by analyzing an exercise pattern as an average value of the exercise state information detected by the 3-axis acceleration, if an abnormality is detected in the GPS altitude value, the emergency call is judged as an emergency such as a fall. Done.

In detail, referring to FIG. 3, the average value of the acceleration values is obtained from the motion state information detected by the 3-axis acceleration sensor to first determine whether it is a dynamic posture or a static posture.

Here, the dynamic posture threshold is a value obtained by statistically analyzing the wearer's exercise state information or a reference value determined through a simulation experiment.

If the average acceleration value is greater than the dynamic posture threshold, it is again compared with the running threshold to determine whether it is running or walking.

Depending on the design conditions, in addition to running and walking, the threshold value can be subdivided to determine various exercise patterns and the corresponding exercise patterns can of course be determined.

If the standard deviation of the GPS altitude value is larger than the average threshold value when the average acceleration value is larger than the dynamic attitude threshold value, it is determined as an emergency such as a fall.

That is, the standard deviation of the altitude value shows the scatter of the magnitude of the altitude value for a predetermined time, which means that the altitude value of the wearer is suddenly changed as the standard deviation is larger, thereby determining an emergency situation.

For example, if the wearer suddenly changes the altitude while climbing uphill or downhill, it may be determined that the fall.

Depending on the design conditions, it covers various cases such as subdividing the threshold value or judging an emergency when the standard deviation of the average acceleration and altitude value has not changed for a long time after changing from a dynamic posture to a static posture. Of course, it can be designed to do so.

The exercise pattern determined in the same manner as in FIG. 3 is corrected using the GPS altitude value information, and the calories burned according to each exercise pattern are determined.

That is, even in the case of walking, walking on a flat, uphill or downhill, mountain climbing, the calories burned will definitely be different, to use the GPS altitude value to distinguish this.

Therefore, by correcting the exercise pattern using the altitude value in the dynamic as well as the static posture, such as when working in the office or by transportation, the calories burned for all activities including the work and outdoor activities of the wearer It can be analyzed.

5 is a diagram schematically illustrating an example of providing an obesity management service based on an exercise pattern in a healthcare system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

First, using the weight information sensed by the pressure sensor to analyze the wearer's obesity is determined to be normal and overweight.

The calorie intake is determined using the meal information transmitted by the meal information processing module of the smartphone 200, and the calorie consumption is determined by summing calories corresponding to the corrected exercise pattern as shown in FIG.

In the case of normal weight, the calorie consumption is determined to be normal if the calorie consumption is greater than the intake calorie, and if the calorie consumption is less than the calorie intake, the exercise prescription is guided by using information on the exercise pattern of the wearer.

For example, the exercise prescription is designed to be transmitted to the wearer's smartphone 200 as including the information that it is desirable to do some exercise because the current calorie intake is high.

When overweight, if the calorie consumption is more than the calorie intake guide the exercise prescription, preferably, the exercise prescription is configured to include information that it is desirable to perform some exercise as usual because the current weight is somewhat obese.

In addition, if the calorie consumption is less than the calorie intake, guide the exercise / diet prescription, preferably, the exercise / diet prescription currently has a certain weight of obesity and excessive calorie intake any exercise, how much exercise and what diet It is configured to include information that it is desirable to eat.

Obesity management service as shown in Figure 5 is designed to be performed at intervals set by the wearer, for example, one day or one week.

The posture management analysis unit 320 performs a function of providing a posture management service by analyzing the center of gravity information based on the wearer's exercise pattern.
