The altimeter 110 is connected to the computer 400 and is set to measure the user's key. The key height information of the user measured through the altimeter 110 is stored in the computer 400 together with the measured date and time information.

A first electric sensor 130, which is a sensitive sensor for transmitting and receiving a minute current (about 10 to 20 μA), is formed on the handle of the electronic comb 100. The first electric sensor 130 operates in conjunction with a second electric sensor 310 to be described later and the operation states of the first electric sensor 130 and the second electric sensor 310 will be described later.

A motor fan 140 operated by a third actuating means 170 is provided in the interior of the electronic comb 100 to perform a blowing function and a plurality of blowing holes 150 provided on the comb- Respectively. A hot line (not shown) operated by the second operating unit 160 is provided at the front end of the motor fan 140 so that hot air is blown when the hot line is operated. The user can use the electronic comb 100 to measure the height of his or her own key as well as measure body fat, muscle mass, bone density, etc. .

The first actuating means 120, the second actuating means 160 and the third actuating means 170 may be integrated into one, or may further comprise additional actuating means. As shown schematically in the drawings, Size, shape, shape, position, and the like can be variously applied to known techniques.

The electronic mirror 200 is provided with a touch screen 210. The user can input information of the user through the touch screen 210 or can invoke stored user information, and can select and display a list desired by the user. The entire electronic mirror 200 may be constituted by the touch screen 210, and a part of the electronic mirror 200 may be constituted by the touch screen 210. The configuration positions may be variously applied, or may be configured at a plurality of positions.

For example, the user's key, weight, body fat, muscle mass, bone density, etc. are displayed on the touch screen 210, and each change trend may be displayed by a graph or the like.

Also, it may be controlled through the touch screen 210, but may be controlled using a plurality of separate control buttons 220.

The electronic footrest 300 is composed of a footrest on which the user steps, and the shape, height, and size of the footrest can be variously implemented. A weight detection sensor 350 for measuring the body weight, a motor fan 340, an ultraviolet irradiation lamp 330, and the like are provided inside the electronic foot plate 300.

A second electric sensor 310, which is a sensitive sensor for transmitting and receiving a minute current, is formed at an upper portion of the electronic foot plate 300 and operates in conjunction with the first electric sensor 130. The operation of the first electric sensor 130 and the second electric sensor 310 can be performed using the touch screen 210 or the control button 220 provided in the electronic mirror 200, Or the like.

The first electric sensor 130 and the second electric sensor 310 can measure a muscle mass, a body fat mass, a bone density and the like by measuring an electric resistance value by flowing a minute current to the user. Since such a measurement principle is known, a detailed description will be omitted.

The first electrical sensor 130 may be disposed on the entire handle of the electronic comb 100. The first electrical sensor 130 may be positioned on both sides of the handle so that both the right and left hands can be used. The first electric sensor 130 and the second electric sensor 310 measure a user's body fat mass, muscle mass and bone density in a state where the user's thumb or palm and the user's foot are in contact with each other for a certain period of time after the start of measurement.

The measured data is displayed on the touch screen 210 at the same time as being stored in the computer 400, and the change amount can be displayed in a graph or the like based on the stored information.

Meanwhile, the use purpose and the method of the touch screen 210 may be combined with various known techniques in addition to the above-described portions.

The user's feet may be dried through the motor fan 340, and hot wind may be discharged by providing a hot wire (not shown). A plurality of blowing openings 320 are formed in the upper portion of the electronic foot plate 300 to blow wind blown out by the user's feet.

Also, an ultraviolet ray lamp 330 is provided to irradiate ultraviolet rays to the feet of the user through a ventilation hole 320 or a separate transparent irradiation plate (not shown), thereby sterilizing germs such as athlete's foot germs.

The computer 400 is connected to the electronic comb 100, the electronic mirror 200, and the electronic scaffold 300, and can be powered via the power application unit 440. The computer 400 may be mounted on the rear surface of the electronic mirror 200 as shown in FIG. The computer 400 and the electronic mirror 200 may be configured to receive power through one outlet when the electronic mirror 200 is mounted on the rear surface of the electronic mirror 200. [

In addition, the touch screen 210 may be operated to apply power to the electronic comb 100 and the electronic foot plate 300, and various known methods may be adopted as the power application method.

The data to be measured and displayed through the electronic comb 100, the electronic scaffold 300 and the electronic mirror 200 is stored in the storage unit 410 of the computer 400 and the stored information is transmitted to the microprocessor 420 Computed and analyzed and stored again.

The stored information may be transmitted to another location via the wire / wireless transceiver 430 or may receive other related information through the wire / wireless transceiver 430. Also, it is possible to receive telemedicine and counseling to a doctor or an expert at a remote place through the wire / wireless transceiver 430.
