Description

All-in-one telemedicine device capable of multi-party video communication {REMOTE DIAGNOSIS APPARATUS WITH REAL-TIME VIDEO COMMUNICATION FUNCTION}

The present invention relates to an integrated telemedicine device capable of multi-party video communication, and more particularly, by wirelessly transmitting biometric information and image information about a subject in an area with low access to medical services to a terminal or server at a remote site, It relates to an all-in-one telemedicine device capable of multi-party video communication capable of not only monitoring in real time, but also providing remote medical guidance.

Recently, a website is the most important thing in the Internet era that provides a variety of information through the Internet. The era of information distribution through web sites has arrived, as well as a large amount of information exchanged. For example, in all fields such as e-commerce, sports broadcasting, and electronic publishing, there is a flood of information through the Internet.

The Internet is a collection of computer networks using the TCP/IP protocol, and is generally operated by a client/server structure using HTML language, and the client and server communicate with each other using the functions provided by http (hypertext transfer protocol). do.

The client can log in to the server and search for a web page by calling an HTML document (website) stored in the server by entering a URL in a browser, which is an Internet search means. In an interactive network communication system in which a server and a computer are connected, in order to obtain information from a server in a client of the computer, the user computer makes a login request to the server through a network and the server approves it. The user's computer, who has received the login authority, can receive various information stored in the server.

There is a medical service that consults a specific doctor through e-mail or PC communication using the characteristics of the Internet. It is a simple method in which a hospital or a doctor opens a website in the form of a website, and a patient or a related person accesses the site and asks and answers through a bulletin board. In a more advanced stage, the patient or his/her family can access the site, search for the current online counseling doctor, open a treatment room, and call the desired counseling doctor for consultation. An Internet medical consultation service method (Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2001-0104856) that allows online consultation while viewing the contents of the questionnaire and history chart was disclosed.

The conventional web-based telemedicine system as described above can be used only in places limited to a PC that can access the Internet, and the Internet wired network is not secured outdoors or in emergency situations because mobility beyond time and space is not provided. In case there is a problem.

Meanwhile, the conventional telemedicine system for hospitals lacks mobility or can be used only in a small area due to a complex system configuration, and lacks scalability. As a result, the availability and scalability of a medical treatment system using IT technology in a hospital is insufficient, and a large cost is required to apply the system to a large number of patients.

In addition, when moving within a hospital for examination or evacuating a patient to another hospital, continuous remote monitoring technology is insufficient, and the technology capable of monitoring the moving patient is very insufficient.
