The user identification unit 20 is composed of a camera 17 for photographing a childcare child, a terminal recognition module for performing recognition through a smart band worn by a wearable device, a child child face image data and a preset child child face image And a face recognition module for performing face recognition to identify childcare children and combine the identified identification information to increase the reliability of the identification information.

For example, in the case of the face recognition module, the face recognition is performed by comparing the child child face image data included in the signal input from the user identification section with the child child image information previously stored in the management server 70, It is possible to perform authentication according to coincidence and to provide the result.

The control unit 30 can control overall configurations related to the operation of the smart mirror 10 and the smart mirror 10. In particular, the control unit 30 can receive the childcare information identified and confirmed through the user identification unit 20 from the management server 70.

Further, when the child care child is identified, the control unit 30 can measure the weight and the height of the child. This will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7. FIG. On the other hand, the control unit 30 can transmit the measured weight and key to the management server 70 and store the measured weight and key. At this time, the management server 70 can generate and store graphs and average graph comparison information according to the elongation and weight change during the predetermined period as the physical development information for the child care child. Meanwhile, the management server 70 only stores the weight and the key of the child-care child in time order. When the child-care child is identified in the control unit 30, the management server 70 receives the stored body weight and key to generate body development information, ). ≪ / RTI >

On the other hand, the controller 30 may provide a body and cognitive development game corresponding to the body development information and age of the child or provide the learning information through the smart mirror 10 . Also, the control unit 30 generates cognitive development information according to the game or learning result, and transmits the generated cognitive development information to the management server 70 so that the cognitive development information can be stored and managed.

Herein, the body development information may be a graph based on the elongation and weight change during the preset period and an average graph comparison information.

Further, the cognitive development information may be a degree of cognitive development relative to a reference age according to a game or a learning result.

The communication unit 50 may be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, wired or wireless Internet, and transmits the body development information and the cognitive development information to the management server 70 under the control of the control unit 30. [ And can be received from the management server 70 as well. In addition, the management server 70 may provide the information about the childcare children collected under the control of the control unit 30 to the portable terminal 100 (see FIG. 8) of the caregiver. Alternatively, under the control of the control unit 30, the child care information collected by the management server 70 may be transmitted to the caregiver's mobile terminal 100 through the communication unit 50.

Further, the communication unit 50 can receive the number of rope skipping of the child care child identified from smart rope skipping (not shown) by using the short distance communication. The control unit 30 may display a rope skipping grade and a compliment message or a cheering message according to the number according to the number of rope skipping counts of the identified child care child through the smart mirror 10. On the other hand, the control unit 30 may store the rope skipping information such as the number of rope skips and the grade of the child care child in the management server 70 for management.

At this time, smart jump rope can be commonly used in child care facilities or can be used as private ownership. The control unit 30 can recognize the rope skipping information for the child care child identified through the user identification unit 20 when receiving the rope skipping number from the smart rope skipping.

Alternatively, when smart rope skipping is used as private ownership, the smart rope skipping can transmit the identifier of the child care child and the number of rope skipping to the control unit 30, and the control unit 30 controls the child care child identified through the user identification unit 20 If the identifiers received from the smart jump rope are identical, the number of rope skips can be stored in the management server 70 as information of the identified child caregivers.

In addition, the communication unit 50 may receive a video message from the parent terminal 100 or may transmit the video message to the parent terminal 100. The communication unit 50 may also provide a communication function for video communication between the child caregiver and the caregiver under the control of the control unit 30. [

When the video call service is requested by the childcare child or the caregiver, the control unit 30 transmits the information matched to the identified childcare child and the child care image photographed by the camera to the guardian's terminal 100 through the management server 70, . The control unit 30 may provide information matched to the identified childcare provided to the guardian's terminal 100 and the guardian image received from the guardian's terminal 100 through the smart mirror 10.

At this time, the signal converting unit 60 converts the video message and the video call signal into a display video signal, and transmits the converted video signal to the controller 30. The signal converter 60 may adjust the image size according to the screen size of the smart mirror 10 and provide the adjusted image size.

Accordingly, the child care and the caregiver can send and receive video messages and video calls, so that the caregiver can check the health state, the body development state, the cognitive development state and the living condition of the child child, The child's mental state can be improved. In addition, it can increase the happiness of life with the online communication channel tool between the child care and the caregiver.

The management server 70 stores the registration information, the health information, the physical development information, the cognitive development information of the child care child, the photo and the image of the child secured through the CCTV or camera shooting in the facility, The terminal 100 and the control unit 30 can provide information matched to the child caregiver.

In response to the request of the control unit 30, the management server 70 generates a game based on the physical development information required by the child care child and the activity game according to the health management method, the age or the cognitive development information Games and learning videos. At this time, the control unit 30 can reproduce one of the provided activity game, the learning game, and the learning video through the smart mirror 10 and provide it.
