FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for acquiring information on urine and feces from a user according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 4 illustrates a method of analyzing a user's health state based on characteristic information of a user.
Referring to FIG. 4, in the smart bidet according to the embodiment of the present invention, characteristic information (color, shape, weight / amount) of the stool may be analyzed on the basis of the side image captured by the image capturing apparatus. Additional precise analysis may be used to analyze bleeding, presence of fat, leukocytes, protozoa, parasites, bacterial disease, etc. based on stool images.
For example, an analysis of a user's health condition can be performed by dividing the color of the stool into brown, red, dark color, and light color. An analysis of the health status of the user can be performed by dividing the brown series into a normal range and dividing into a plurality of color categories (or color spectrums) (for example, four color categories).
In addition, the user's faeces can be classified into
Also, depending on the weight / amount of the stool, the user's stool may be classified as high, normal, or low. In general, 100-250 g of faeces can be classified into the normal range. If the feces of the user is greasy and the amount is large, the absorption disorder due to the large intestine / rectum / pancreatitis may be suspected.
Hereinafter, classification of characteristic information of a specific user is disclosed.
5 is a conceptual diagram illustrating an analysis of health status of a user based on a color of a stool according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 5, a color having a high similarity to a color of a user's stool is selected in various color spectrums, and a health state of the user can be analyzed based on information on a group corresponding to the color of the user's stool. The user's faeces can be classified into one of a brown group, a red group, a dark group, and a light group.
If the user's feces is classified as a brown group, the user's feces may be judged as a healthy stool. Because there is a change in color depending on the nutrient, it is necessary to adjust the color spectrum according to the food to be ingested.
When the user's faeces are classified into a red group, the faeces of the user can be judged as a bloody stool. In many cases, bleeding from the anus (near the anus, rectum, and lower intestine) can lead to bleeding. Or a disease such as colon cancer, cholera, or the like, may occur.
When the user's faux is classified into a dark color group, the faux faux of the user can be determined as a constipation stool. In many cases, if you stay in the bowel for a long time, the color of the stool may become darker. Or the internal digestive organs such as peptic ulcer, gastritis and gastric cancer may be in poor condition or the color of the stool may become thicker due to bleeding.
If the user's faux is categorized into a light color group, the faux faux of the user can be judged as a inanition stool. Inadequate nutrients or biliary obstruction may result in unbalanced stools.

FIG. 7 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a method for analyzing characteristics of faeces according to an embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 7, first, a region of interest (ROI) can be determined within the toilet (step S700).
In the toilet, the area may be previously divided into a plurality of areas, and at least one of the plurality of areas may be selected as the imaging area. For example, an area determined as a region having a color included in a spectrum of a feces color of a person among a plurality of regions can be determined as a region where a feces is located, and the region can be selected as an imaging region.
The RGB (red, green, blue) histogram is determined in the imaging area (step S710).
The image of the opposite side located in the imaging region is picked up and the RGB histogram of the picked-up image is determined in order to analyze the color of the feces.
Normalization of the RGB values is performed and an average ratio of the RGB values to the entire ROI pixels is determined (step S720).
Normalization of the RGB values is performed to determine the RGB values regardless of the amount of light.
Normalization of the RGB values may be performed based on the following equations.
≪ Equation &
Here, r may be a value corresponding to Red in RGB, g may be a value corresponding to Green in RGB, and b may be a value corresponding to Blue in RGB.
Normalization may be performed and an average ratio of RGB values to all ROI pixels included in the imaging region may be determined.
The color spectrum corresponding to the current color is determined by comparing the color spectrum of the preset side (step S730).
The color spectrum corresponding to the current feces is determined by comparing the average ratio of the RGB values for all the ROI pixels determined based on step S720 with the preset color spectrum.
For example, the color spectrum corresponding to the current stool may be determined among the color spectra of six stools classified medically as shown in Fig.
The shape of the sides can be determined based on the template model for the shapes of the various sides. For example, a smart bidet system may store template images for various sides (
