More specifically, a coupling pillar 213 may be formed on a lower surface of the upper housing 210, and a coupling hole formed on the upper surface of the lower housing 240 may be formed. The size and position of the coupling pillar 213 may correspond to the size and position of the coupling hole 243 by 1:1:. The coupling pillar 213 and the coupling hole 243 may be coupled through a force fitting method or an adhesive.

The lower housing 240 may be provided with a light inlet 241 for introducing external light and a photographing port 242 for photographing a film part reacting to the injected sample. The sensor strip 200 according to the present specification may be a device necessary to perform an inspection using the rear camera 121b and the light output unit 134 of the mobile terminal 100. The rear camera 121b and the light output unit 134 of the mobile terminal may be configured adjacent to the rear side. In this case, the sensor strip 200 may be positioned in front of the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal, and the light may be illuminated by the light output unit 134, and then the film part reacting with the sample may be photographed to perform measurement. The light inlet 241 is a hole through which light emitted from the light output unit 134 can be introduced into the sensor strip. In addition, the photographing port 242 is a hole through which the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal can photograph a film part reacting with the sample.

The film part 220 may be positioned between the upper housing 210 and the lower housing 240. The film part 220 is a part where spreading of the sample solution injected through the sample injection port 211 occurs. In particular, when blood is injected through a porous structure, the film unit 220 may be made of a material capable of separating only plasma components from whole blood. For the material or/and structure of the film unit 220, the contents filed through the applicant No. 10-2018-0001815 (name: strip for measuring biomaterials) will be used, and detailed descriptions will be omitted. .

The light diffusion unit 230 may have a length longer than the distance between the light inlet 241 and the photographing port 242 and may be positioned between the film unit 220 and the lower housing 240. . The light diffusion unit 230 is a configuration in which light first meets when the light emitted from the light output unit 134 enters the interior of the sensor strip device through the light inlet 241. As the light diffuses and scatters to the side through the light diffusion unit 230, the light reaches the film unit 220 into which the sample is injected.

In addition, when the light diffusion unit 230 is positioned between the film unit 220 and the lower housing, an opening 231 may be formed at the same position as the photographing port 242. Through the opening 231, the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal may take a sample of the film unit 220.

Meanwhile, the lower housing 240 may be provided with a light diffusion unit mounting groove 244 in which the light diffusion unit 230 may be mounted. The depth of the light diffusion unit mounting groove 244 may be the same as the height of the light diffusion unit 230 and may have a size corresponding to the length and width of the light diffusion unit 230.

On the other hand, the sample injection hole 211 may be a columnar structure formed at the center of the protruding step 214 formed on the upper surface of the upper housing 210. In addition, the ventilation hole 212 may be formed in a region around the sample injection hole 211 of the upper surface of the step 214.

Referring back to FIG. 4, the doctor may select an item that needs to be measured and input it to the doctor's mobile terminal. The inputted information may be transmitted to the patient's mobile terminal through a communication network as'measurement item information'. It is assumed that the mobile terminal of the patient and the mobile terminal of the doctor are pre-installed with a program (application) capable of performing not only a video call but also an operation related to measurement mentioned in the present specification. Accordingly, the patient's mobile terminal may receive measurement item information through the wireless communication unit 110. In this case, in step S10, the control unit 150 may display information on at least one measurement item received through the wireless communication unit 110 on the display unit 131. The measurement item information displayed on the display unit 131 may be displayed as a virtual button that allows a user to perform measurement by touching a screen. Meanwhile, for convenience of understanding, it is assumed that the measurement item is one. There may be a plurality of the measurement items, and this case will be described in more detail later.

The patient may start measurement by selecting the measurement item information displayed on the display unit 131 (step S20). Thereafter, the controller 150 may control to transmit real-time measurement information corresponding to the measurement item information to the doctor terminal through the wireless communication unit 110 (step S30). The embodiment shown in FIG. 4 is an embodiment in which measurement is performed through a rear camera inside the mobile terminal, and various measurement information generated in the measurement process can be transmitted to a doctor's mobile terminal in real time through the wireless communication unit 110. . The real-time measurement information may include at least one selected from the group consisting of measurement target information, measurement preparation completion information, measurement progress information, measurement error occurrence information, measurement termination information, and measurement result information.

Meanwhile, unlike FIGS. 5 and 6, a separate measurement module (not shown) other than a camera may be included in the mobile terminal. Even in this case, real-time measurement information generated by the measurement module can be transmitted to the doctor's mobile terminal.

After the measurement is finished (step S40), the control unit 150 may continue to make a video call through video streaming.

On the other hand, in FIG. 4, although the case where there is only one measurement item has been described, there may be a plurality of measurement items.

7 is a flowchart of an embodiment in which a plurality of measurement items are present.

Referring to FIG. 7, it can be seen that step S50 is added after step S40. That is, when one measurement is finished, the remaining measurement items are displayed, and the process returns to step S10, and S10 to S40 are repeatedly performed in the same manner for the remaining measurement items.

In this case, the step S10 is a step in which the wireless communication unit 110 receives information on a plurality of measurement items from the mobile terminal of the doctor, and the controller 150 displays the information on the plurality of measurement items on the display unit, and the step S20 Is a step of receiving, by the control unit 150, information on a selection input for any one measurement item among a plurality of measurement items displayed on the display unit.

Meanwhile, according to another embodiment of the present specification, the measuring device is a measuring device located outside the mobile terminal, and may be a measuring device that transmits and receives data to and from the mobile terminal by wire or wirelessly. In this case, measurement and related information may be transmitted to the mobile terminal, and the mobile terminal may be transmitted to the doctor's mobile terminal through the wireless communication unit 110.

8 is an exemplary diagram in which a measuring device is connected outside a mobile terminal according to another embodiment of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 8, it is almost the same as the embodiment of FIG. 4, and it can be seen that measurement information is received from an external measuring device in step S30. The measurement information received from the external measurement device may further include information on whether a mobile terminal is connected to a measurement device, information on whether or not a measurement device is operating, in addition to the above-described real-time measurement information.

9 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a mobile terminal according to another embodiment of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 9, the patient's mobile terminal may receive measurement item information through the wireless communication unit 110. In this case, in step S10, the control unit 150 may display information on at least one measurement item received through the wireless communication unit 110 on the display unit 131. The measurement item information displayed on the display unit 131 may be displayed as a virtual button that allows a user to perform measurement by touching a screen. Meanwhile, for convenience of understanding, it is assumed that the measurement item is one. There may be a plurality of the measurement items, and this case will be described in more detail later.

At this time, in step S20, the controller 150 may turn off the front camera 121a of the mobile terminal and turn on the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal. Since the user makes a video call while looking at the display unit 131 provided in the front of the mobile terminal, the front camera 121a of the mobile terminal is turned on during the video call. However, in order to measure using the sensor strip, the patient must turn his or her mobile terminal over because the rear camera 121b provided at the rear of the mobile terminal must be used. Therefore, when the patient selects the measurement item information displayed on the display unit 131, the mobile terminal will be turned over, so it is necessary to control the front camera 121a to be turned off and the rear camera 121b to be turned on. Do. While the front camera 121a is turned off, a video call is not possible or necessary, so the controller 150 transmits the video captured through the rear camera 121b through the wireless communication unit 110 Control not to do it.

In the next step S30, the controller 150 may measure a sample through image analysis captured by the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal. Since it was previously described in connection with the measurement of the sample through the image analysis, a repetitive description will be omitted. In the step S30, the control unit 150 may control to transmit the measurement progress information to the doctor's mobile terminal through the wireless communication unit 110. The measurement progress information is information related to the measurement progress, and may be information about various situations occurring in the measurement process, such as whether the sensor strip and the mobile terminal are combined, whether a sample is inserted into the sensor strip, whether measurement is completed, or whether a measurement error has occurred. . The mobile terminal of the doctor receiving the measurement progress information may display the measurement progress information on the display, and the doctor may check the measurement progress status through the measurement progress information displayed on the display.

On the other hand, the doctor can check in real time whether the measurement is proceeding correctly or incorrectly through the measurement progress information displayed on the mobile terminal. For example, in the case of using a sensor strip that does not fit the measurement item (a blood test is required, an example of using a sensor strip that collects urine), the doctor may use the mobile terminal when the measurement is wrong. Alert information can be transmitted through. The patient's mobile terminal receiving the warning information from the doctor's mobile terminal outputs the warning information through the sound output module 132. The current situation is a state in which the patient's mobile terminal is turned over for measurement, and it is difficult for the patient to check it even when information is displayed through the display unit 131. In addition, since the sensor strip 200 is also covering the light output unit 134 provided on the rear surface, there are many limitations in providing warning information to the patient through light. Accordingly, when the warning information is output through the sound output module 132, it can be effectively transmitted compared to other output unit configurations. Meanwhile, the warning information may be a warning sound, a siren, or a doctor's voice. When the warning information is the voice of the doctor, voice streaming may be continuously transmitted and received so that voice calls are possible even if the video call is not in progress.

After the measurement is completed, in step S40, the controller 150 may turn off the rear camera 121b of the mobile terminal and turn on the front camera 121a of the mobile terminal. In this case, the control unit 150 may further control to output a measurement ending sound so that a user can recognize that the measurement has ended through the sound output module 132. Meanwhile, the control unit 150 may further control to output a vibration so that the user can recognize that the measurement has ended through the haptic module 133. In addition, the controller 150 may control to transmit an image streaming through the wireless communication unit 110 so that a video call with a doctor's mobile terminal is possible again. Of course, the control unit 150 may control the video call screen to be displayed through the display unit 131 together.

In this case, the control unit 150 may display additional information related to measurement on the display unit 131. The additional information means information on whether measurement is completed, whether a measurement is error, or whether re-measurement is required. For example, if a patient is instructed to measure blood sugar and inserts a hemoglobin sensor strip, the rear camera 121b is controlled to stop the test and take a code along with a message to check the code related to the sensor strip (e.g., QR code). can do.

On the other hand, until now, the description has been mainly focused on an example of one measurement item, but in some cases, there are multiple measurement items. In this case, it may be necessary to control how to measure multiple measurement items.

10 is a flowchart of a method for controlling a mobile terminal according to another embodiment of the present specification.

Referring to FIG. 10, it can be seen that steps S11 and S50 are added compared to the embodiment shown in FIG. 9.

Accordingly, in step S10, the control unit 150 may display information on a plurality of measurement items received through the wireless communication unit 110 on the display unit 131. Further, in step S11, the controller 150 may receive information on a selection input for any one measurement item among a plurality of measurement items displayed on the display unit 131. Thereafter, steps S20 to S40 are executed as described above for the selected measurement item.

In addition, when there is a measurement item remaining in step S50 after step S40 is completed, the controller 150 may display the remaining measurement item on the display unit 131. Then, it is possible to proceed to step S11 again. Accordingly, steps S11 to S50 may be repeatedly executed for a plurality of measurement items until all measurements are completed.
