According to the National Statistical Office's estimate of the number of funeral population released in December 2016, of the total 51.15 million people in Korea by 2017, the population aged 65 or over is 7,080,000, accounting for about 13.8% of the total population. By the 2060s, 65 out of the total population The population aged three and over is 18.54 million, accounting for about 41% of the total population. This indicates that the health problems of the elderly are not just one person, one family, but the whole society. In particular, dementia is a serious problem that lowers the quality of life of the family and returning home, and various efforts and researches are continuing for proper prevention, diagnosis or treatment of dementia.

In Japan, Square-Stepping Exercise was developed earlier to prevent and improve dementia. The square stepping movement was designed taking into consideration the nature of the fall and the ladder training of the athlete program, and was based on long experience of practical research. The square stepping motion is performed in the forward, backward, left and right and diagonal directions in a predetermined order on a pallet mat which is divided into 40 squares of 25 Cm each of a rectangular face of 100 cm and 250 cm in length and width, respectively In addition to effects on physical function such as exercise form, prevention of falling, improvement of physical strength, usefulness is also reported to improve cognitive function.

However, the square stepping movement in Japan simply stops moving according to the proposed exercise rules, how the individual conforms to the rules, what rules should be exercised in the future, and how individuals can get the best effect. There is a problem that it is difficult to document objective conditions.

1 is a diagram illustrating a healthcare service provision system including a square stepping exercise mat according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a health care service providing system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user health information provider (HCP) and a square stepping exercise mat (SSMT). The user health information provider (HCP) generates and provides user health information (HINF) corresponding to a result of performing a square stepping exercise on a square stepping exercise mat (SSMT). The user health information provider (HCP) includes a user personal information input unit 110, an information processing unit 120, an exercise mat control unit 130, a user health information storage unit 140, and a user health information output unit 150 . The square stepping motion mat (SSMT) is a rectangular pad with 100 Cm and 250 Cm width and height, each consisting of 40 squares with 25 Cm on one side. In the following, each square area of the square stepping motion mat (SSMT) is described by a square.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating an operation method of a health care service providing system including a square stepping exercise mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. The system 100 of FIG. 1 may operate in accordance with the method 200 of FIG. 2 or other methods. Similarly, the method 200 of FIG. 2 may be applied to the system 100 of FIG. 1 or other systems. Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, the technical idea of the present invention is described as an example in which the square stepping motion system 100 of FIG. 1 is operated by the operation method 200 of FIG.

1 and 2, a user personal information input unit 110 provides a user interface to receive PINF from a user (S210). Personal information (PINF) may include name, age, gender, and health status. The information on the user's health status includes the results of the user's dementia test (K-MMSE: Korea-Mini Mental State Examination), information on cognitive function, measurements on daily living fitness, risk of falling, Happiness index, and so on. If required, the personal information PINF may include updated information about the health status of the user. For example, the user may include update information on the health status after participating in the square stepping exercise as personal information (PINF). The update may be performed periodically. Alternatively, the personal information PINF may normally include only a user identifier and / or a password.

The information processing unit 120 receives the exercise information (TINF) for the result of the user performing the first exercise rule RUL1 on the personal information PINF and the square stepping exercise mat SSMT, And generates and updates the user's health information (HINF), and provides the user with an optimal exercise rule (first exercise rule RUL1) based on the user's health information (HINF). For this, the information processing unit 120 may include a motion rule selector 122, a user health information generating and updating unit 124, and a user health state analyzing and evaluating unit 126.

The motion rule selection unit 122 selects the first motion rule RUL1 corresponding to the personal information PINF, i.e., optimized for each user (S220). The first motion rule RUL1 may be one of a plurality of square stepping motion rules. The Square Stepping Movement is a practical exercise for seniors over thousands of people over a period of 10 years. The square stepping motion rule refers to a rule for performing sequential movement in forward, backward, left and right directions and oblique direction in 40 steps of the divided squares on the square stepping motion mat (SSMT).

For example, referring to FIG. 3, which illustrates a square stepping motion rule in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the motion rules shown on the left side of FIG. 3 (a) include four squares at the bottom of a square stepping motion mat (SSMT) The leftmost square (2) is tread on the rightmost square (1), then the square (3) and the square (4) are successively pressed on the leftmost square Repetitive motion rules. Or, the motion rule shown on the right side of FIG. 3 (d) shows the forward motion rule by sequentially stepping on the two squares 1 and 2 in the center. 3, the first motion rule RUL1 of the motion rule according to the embodiment of the present invention may be one of the motion rules other than the motion rule of FIG.

As described above, the first motion rule RUL1 represents the optimal motion rule based on the health information HINF of the user. For example, if the user's cognitive function is normal and the risk of falling is low based on the health information HINF of the user, the motion rule in FIG. 3A can be selected as the first motion rule RUL1. On the other hand, for the user with a mild cognitive impairment, the motion rule of FIG. 3 (c) is applied to the first motion rule (RUL1) Can be selected. Alternatively, for a user with a mild cognitive impairment and a relatively high risk of falling, the motion rule of FIG. 3 (d) may be selected as the first motion rule RUL1.

The motion rule selection unit 122 may separately store information on motion rules corresponding to each user health information HINF or may receive information on the motion rules from a separate storage unit. If the user can not select the first exercise rule RUL1 optimized for the user for the first time using the health care service providing system 100 or the like, the exercise rule selecting unit 122 selects the first exercise rule RUL1 based on the personal information PINF ) Can be selected as the first motion rule RUL1. In the above description, the first exercise rule RUL1 is selected based on the cognitive function and the risk of falling, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In addition to cognitive function and fall risk, the user's health information (HINF) is used to assess the user's health status based on the user's dementia test result (K-MMSE), measurements of daily living fitness, fall risk, longevity age, And can be generated by reflecting the result of the analysis and the result of the square stepping motion described later. A more detailed description thereof will be described later.

The exercise mat control unit 130 transmits the first motion rule RUL1 to the square stepping motion mat (SSMT) after performing a certain signal process (S230). The exercise mat control unit 130 and the square stepping exercise mat (SSMT) can communicate through a local communication device, for example, Bluetooth or the like. The square stepping motion mat (SSMT) turns on the LEDs of the corresponding area (square unit) in the order corresponding to the first motion rule RUL1. For example, when the first motion rule RUL1 is the motion rule shown on the left side of (d) of FIG. 3, the square stepping motion mat SSMT moves the square 1 in the second column from the lowermost right First, after turn-on and turn-off, the square (2) of the next column of the next column is turned on and off, and the same procedure is repeated up to the top to visually present the motion rule to be executed to the user can do.

4 is a view showing an example of a square stepping exercise mat according to an embodiment of the present invention. 4, a square stepping motion mat (SSMT) includes a first layer 141, a control layer 142, a sensing layer 143, a second layer 144, an LED layer 145, and a third layer 146 < / RTI > The first layer 141 and the second layer 144 may be formed of a material having a non-slip function. The first layer 141 and the second layer 144 may be formed of, for example, an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) material which is soft and excellent in flexibility, strong against internal shorting, and excellent in absorption.

The control layer 142 includes a controller (MCU) to control the operation of the sensing layer 143 and the LED layer 145. That is, the control layer 142 processes the sensing information about the square pressed by the user of the sensing layer 143 into motion information (TINF) for the coordinates and time (order) of the corresponding square, RUL1) to turn on the corresponding LEDs of the LED layer. The control layer 142 may be provided as a part of the sensing layer 143 and / or the LED layer 145, unlike FIG. The control layer 142 may control the sound output when the user steps on the square. For example, the control layer 142 provides the information to the exercise mat control unit 130 using a short distance communication method such as Bluetooth, (Not shown) of the HCP can output the sound effect. In this case, the square stepping motion mat (SSMT) may have separate acoustic means (not shown) to output sound effects under the control of the control layer 142.

The sensing layer 143 includes a sensor element (not shown) disposed in a lattice form, and senses a square pressed by the user (in units of squares of 25 Cm on one side). The sensor element may be implemented in a variety of materials, for example, a pressure sensor that senses pressure.

The LED layer 145 includes LED elements (not shown) disposed in a grid form, and turns on the LEDs of the corresponding regions in the order corresponding to the first motion rule RUL1. The third layer 146 may be formed of a transparent material such as acrylic or silicone film so as to transmit the LED light while preventing the LED layer 145 from being damaged, thereby allowing the user to recognize the LED light. Although not shown, the square stepping motion mat (SSMT) further includes a power supply unit to supply power to the control layer 142, the sensing layer 143, and the LED layer 145. The power unit (not shown) may be implemented in the form of a battery or a charger.

 After confirming the order in which the LEDs are turned on on the square stepping motion mat (SSMT), the user turns off the corresponding square area in the order in which the LEDs were turned on when the LEDs are all turned off. As described above, the sensing layer 143 senses the user's desired distance, and the control layer 142 processes the sensing information so that the user can use the user's movement information (TINF) Output.

Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, the exercise mat control unit 130 of the user health information provider (HCP) receives user movement information (TINF) (S240) and transmits it to the information processing unit 120. FIG. As described above, the first motion rule RUL1 may be selected based on the user health information HINF. Hereinafter, generation of user health information (HINF) will be described in more detail.

The user health state analysis and evaluation unit 126 analyzes and evaluates information on the health state of the user on the personal information (PINF). For example, K-MMSE, brain age, longevity age and happiness index can be evaluated.

5 is a diagram illustrating a method for analyzing and evaluating a user health state according to an embodiment of the present invention. 1, 2 and 5, the user health state analyzing and evaluating unit 126 analyzes and evaluates a user's health state based on K-MMSE, brain age, longevity age and happiness index, And may be indexed or leveled with brain health age, which may reflect state and physical condition. For example, the K-MMSE can be used to evaluate the user's orientation, memory, and language ability. K-MMSE is a total score of 5 points for time, 5 points for locality, 3 points for memory registration, 5 points for attention and calculation, 3 points for memory recall ability, 8 points for language ability, and 1 point for spatio- It consists of 30 points. In the case of the brain age of the user, the whole body movement ability, co-ordination, and the whole body response time can be measured and can be calculated by a constant estimation formula. For the brain age calculation method, an algorithm such as Japanese Patent Registration No. 5376595 can be used. The user's age of longevity can be calculated by processing a daily life fitness such as strength, muscle endurance, mobility, military strength, agility, and user's disease condition through a certain estimation formula. The age of the user's longevity can be calculated using the method of Korean Patent Registration No. 1488592. The happiness index can be calculated by a known method of measuring the happiness index.

Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, the user health state analyzing and evaluating unit 126 analyzes and evaluates the user's health state through the above-described method and calculates the result (brain health age) (S250) . The user health information generating and updating unit 124 generates or updates the user health information (HINF) based on the user's brain health age and exercise information (TINF) (S250). For example, user health information (HINF) may be indexed or leveled primarily for the user's health based on the user's brain health age, and may reflect the exercise information (TINF) have. For example, when the user's cognitive function is classified as level 2 based on the user's brain health age, the user is asked to determine the first motion rule RUL1 associated with the cognitive function in the square stepping motion mat (SSMT) If the mistake is repeated more than 5 times, the user's cognitive function can be adjusted to level 3 to generate health information (HINF).

Also, the user health information generating and updating unit 124 updates the user health information HINF by reflecting the user health state after the user executes the first exercise rule RUL1 selected based on the calculated user health information HINF, Can be corrected. For example, if there is no difference between two weeks after the first exercise rule RUL1 is performed for two weeks and the health state is improved, the change timing of the exercise rule for the user is changed from the first month to the second month Can be calibrated so as to become main. The generated health information HINF of the user is transmitted to the motion rule selection unit 122 to set the first motion rule RUL1.

1 and 2, the user health information provider (HCP) stores the user health information (HINF) including the user health information storage unit 140 and the user health information output unit 150 , And may provide it to the user or the health manager of the user through a user interface (S270). The user health information storage unit 140 may also store user's personal information (PINF). The user health information output unit 150 may be provided separately or may be integrated with the user personal information input unit 110.
