In step S340, the central server 200 transmits the information of the goods obtained in step S330 together with the identification information of the user to the gene bank server 300. [ According to an embodiment, the central server 200 receives the authentication key (for example, a password of a predetermined number of digits) stored in the user authentication device from the mobile terminal 100 and transmits the received authentication key to the gene bank server 300).

In step S350, the gene bank server 300 acquires the genetic information of the user according to the request of the central server 200 and acquires the information of the goods suitable for the genetic information of the user among the information of the goods received from the central server 200 . When the authentication key is further received from the central server 200, the gene bank server 300 compares the previously stored authentication key with the received authentication key to authenticate the user, and then transmits the product information corresponding to the genetic information .

As described above, the mobile terminal 100 can select whether to request information of a commodity that matches the genetic information of the user or information of a commodity that does not match the genetic information of the user. And may be transmitted to the gene bank server 300 through the central server 200. [ The genetic bank server 300 may be configured such that when the mobile terminal 100 requests the information of the goods conforming to the genetic information of the user, the genetic bank server 300 generates a user-customized product (for example, When the mobile terminal 100 requests information of a product that does not match the genetic information of the user, the user's health (for example, the health of the user) determined based on the genetic information of the user ).

In step S360, the gene bank server 300 transmits product information suitable for the user's genetic information to the central server 200. In step S370, the central server 200 transmits product information suitable for the user's genetic information to the mobile terminal 200 (100). In step S380, the mobile terminal 100 outputs the received product information through a display, a speaker, or the like.

In step S430, the central server 200 identifies the store based on the identification information of the store received from the mobile terminal 100, and obtains information on the goods being sold at the identified store.

In step S440, the central server 200 transmits information of goods to the mobile terminal 100. [

In step S450, the mobile terminal 100 compares the genetic information of the user, which is stored in advance, with the information of the goods received from the central server 200, and determines the goods corresponding to the user's genetic information.

In step S460, the mobile terminal 100 outputs information of goods corresponding to the user's genetic information through a display, a speaker, or the like.

4, since the genetic information of the user is stored in the mobile terminal 100 without being stored in an external server (the central server 200 or the gene bank server 300) It can be cut off more safely.

Meanwhile, after the user-customized product is outputted through the mobile terminal 100, the user can select any one of the products from the mobile terminal 100 and consume it.

The mobile terminal 100 transmits information of the product selected by the user to the gene bank server 300 via the central server 200 or the central server 200 when one of the products is selected by the user among the user- And the central server 200 (or the gene bank server 300) stores the genetic information of the user among the products sold in the shops located in the vicinity of the predetermined store, Products can be selected. The follow-up product may include a commodity suitable for the user's genetic information among the commodities consumed by the users who consume the commodity selected by the user and consume more than a predetermined frequency.

For example, when the user selects Kimbap from among the user-customized products, the central server 200 (or the gene bank server 300) may determine that the users who have selected kimbab use products mainly consumed in nearby shops, Coffee, café latte, ice cream, and cola can be selected from the Americano coffee that matches your genetic information.

When a subsequent product is selected by the central server 200, the information of the subsequent product is transmitted to the mobile terminal 100, and the mobile terminal 100 can output the information of the received subsequent product. That is, according to the embodiment of the present invention, when one of the recommended products is selected and consumed by the user, the subsequent products that are likely to consume the user consecutively and are also beneficial to the health of the user are successively recommended, The satisfaction of the user can be increased and the income of the store operators can be increased.

Meanwhile, after the mobile terminal 100 obtains the identification information of the store from the information delivery medium 10 related to the predetermined store, the mobile terminal 100 transmits the identification information of the store to the user through the communication with the central server 200, The customized product information is output. However, depending on the implementation, the information delivery medium 10 may be associated with a predetermined product. That is, the information delivery medium 10 may include identification information of a predetermined product, and the mobile terminal 100 may acquire the identification information of the predetermined product from the information delivery medium 10, To the central server 200.

The central server 200 identifies the commodity according to the identification information of the predetermined commodity, determines whether the commodity conforms to the user's genetic information or not, or transmits the identification information of the commodity to the gene bank server 300 So that the gene bank server 300 can determine whether or not the gene library is compatible. Next, the central server 200 can transmit to the mobile terminal 100 information as to whether or not the predetermined product conforms to the genetic information of the user.

For example, when a user visits a shopping mall, a department store, or the like to purchase a cosmetic product, the user can obtain identification information of the specific cosmetic product from the information delivery medium 10 through his or her mobile terminal 100. Thereafter, the mobile terminal 100 outputs information on whether the corresponding cosmetic product conforms to the user's genetic information or not, through communication between the mobile terminal 100 and the central server 200, It is possible to decide whether to purchase or not.
