Referring to FIG. 6, the adapter 100 for measuring the health index may recognize whether the health index measuring device 200 is connected through the output connection unit 120 (S101 ).

As an example, when the connector 400 is connected to the adapter 100 for measuring health index and recognizes that the current is transmitted through the connector 400, the health index measuring device 200 connects the output connector 120 It can be recognized as being connected through.

However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

When the health index measuring device adapter 100 recognizes that the health index measuring device 200 is connected through the output connection 120 (S101, Yes), the health index measuring device ( 200) can be transmitted (S102).

In addition, the health index measuring device 200 may generate a health index measurement result based on the current received from the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device. Here, the health index measurement result may include a health index numerical value (eg, 100 mg/dL in the case of a blood sugar level).

That is, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device receives the strip 300 in place of the health index measuring device 200, and the current value thereof is transmitted to the health index measuring device 200 through the output connection unit 120. Can be transmitted.

Through this, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device 100 may cause the health index measuring device 200 to generate the health index measurement result even for the strip 300 that cannot be connected to the health index measuring device 200.

In addition, by allowing the health index measuring device 200 to generate the health index measurement result instead of the health index measuring device adapter 100, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device can be made compact, reduced operation, and battery It is also possible to implement a reduction in consumption.

Referring to FIG. 7, the adapter 100 for a health index measurement device may recognize whether or not wireless communication is connected to the health index measurement device 200 through the wireless communication unit 140 (S201).

As an example, the adapter 100 for a health index measurement device transmits a signal for checking whether a connection is made through the wireless communication unit 140 to the health index measurement device 200, and a connection confirmation feedback signal from the health index measurement device 200 When received, it may be recognized that wireless communication is connected.

However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

When it is recognized that the health index measuring device 200 and wireless communication are connected through the wireless communication unit 140 (S201, Yes), the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device recognizes the value of the current and includes the value of the current. It is possible to generate a first signal (S202). In addition, the adapter 100 for measuring the health index may transmit a first signal to the device 200 for measuring the health index (S203).

The health index measurement apparatus 200 may generate a health index measurement result based on the value of the current included in the received first signal. Here, the health index measurement result may include a health index numerical value (for example, 100 mg/dL in the case of a blood sugar level).

That is, the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device receives the strip 300 in place of the health index measuring device 200, and transmits a first signal including a current value thereto through the health index measuring device ( 200).

Through this, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device 100 may cause the health index measuring device 200 to generate the health index measurement result even for the strip 300 that cannot be connected to the health index measuring device 200.

In addition, by allowing the health index measuring device 200 to generate the health index measurement result instead of the health index measuring device adapter 100, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device can be made compact, reduced operation, and battery It is also possible to implement a reduction in consumption.

According to some embodiments, the health index measuring device adapter 100 generates a health index measurement result based on the current, and displays the generated health index measurement result in the health index measuring device adapter 100. Can be displayed.

Through this, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device 100 can display the health index measurement result even if it is not connected to the health index measuring device 200, thereby providing convenience to the user.

Referring to FIG. 8, the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device may recognize whether the type of the health index measuring device and the strip type have been selected through the user input unit 180 (S301 ).

When the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device recognizes that the type of the health index measuring device and the type of the strip are selected through the user input unit 180 (S301, Yes), the plurality of health indexes stored in the memory 170 are measured. A standard difference adjustment value may be calculated based on information about the device and a plurality of strips (S302). Here, the standard difference adjustment value is an interpretation difference value that may occur from the difference between the health index to be measured, as described above, and a health index measurement error that may occur from the difference between the manufacturer of the health index measuring device 200 and the manufacturer of the strip 300 It may be a value for. However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

The information on the plurality of health index measuring devices and the plurality of strips stored in the memory 170 may store variables for adjusting the standard difference between each health index measuring device and each strip. Further, the control unit 160 calculates a standard difference adjustment value based on variables for standard difference adjustment stored in the memory 170 based on the type of the health index measuring device recognized as selected in step S301 and the type of the strip. can do.

According to some embodiments, the adapter 100 for measuring the health index may recognize the value of the current and adjust the current transmitted to the health index measuring device 200 based on the standard difference adjustment value.

Through this, the health index is measured by adjusting the difference in interpretation of the current value that may occur from the difference between the health index to be measured and the error of the current value that may occur due to the manufacturer difference between the health index measuring device 200 and the strip 300. Accuracy can be improved.

According to some embodiments, the adapter 100 for a health index measurement device may control the display unit to generate a health index measurement result based on a current and a standard difference adjustment value and display the health index measurement result.

As described above, the adapter 100 for a health index measurement device may generate a health index measurement result without being connected to the health index measurement device 200. When generating the health index measurement result, the difference in interpretation of the current value that may occur from the difference between the health index to be measured, and the error of the current value that may occur due to the manufacturer difference between the health index measurement device 200 and the strip 300 are analyzed. By taking it into account, it is possible to increase the accuracy of measuring the health index.

According to some embodiments, when generating the health index measurement result, the controller 160 may generate the health index measurement result further based on the temperature measured by the temperature sensor unit 132.

This is because there is a difference in the electrochemical reaction rate between the sample and the enzyme depending on the temperature, and the amount of current generated varies.

Accordingly, the adapter 100 for a health index measurement device may generate a health index measurement result further based on the measured temperature.

Through this, the adapter 100 for the health index measurement device may improve the accuracy of the health index measurement result. However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments, the controller 160 may transmit an impulse signal to the strip input unit 110 and recognize a state of the connected strip 300 based on the received impulse response. Here, the state may include a contamination state, a failure state, and a state of measurement accuracy.

Specifically, the impulse response may vary depending on the strength of the transmitted impulse signal and the state of the strip 330 connected to the strip input unit 110. Accordingly, the controller 160 may recognize the state of the connected strip 300 based on a difference value between the received impulse response value and a predetermined value (eg, 10 μA). Here, the predetermined value may be determined based on the type of the strip, the type of the manufacturer of the strip, and the temperature.

For example, the adapter for a health index measuring device may receive input from the user the type of the connected strip and the type of the strip manufacturer. And, the control unit 160 controls to generate an impulse response, and when the difference between the received impulse response value and the predetermined value is small (when the difference value is close to 0), the state of the corresponding strip is considered to be in a normal state. I can recognize it. In addition, when the difference between the received impulse response value and the predetermined value is large (when the difference value is far from 0), the state of the corresponding strip may be recognized as an abnormal state.

This is because when the strip 300 is in a normal state, since the impulse response value will be close to a predetermined value, the state of the strip 300 can be determined based on the impulse response value.

However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

According to some embodiments, when the plurality of strips 300 are connected to the strip input unit 110, the control unit 160 performs an average-weighting process based on a plurality of currents received through the plurality of strips 300. The current may be generated and the average-weighted current may be transmitted to the health index measuring device 200.

Specifically, an example of generating an average-weighted current based on a plurality of received currents is expressed as Equation 2 below.

는 평균-가중치 처리된 전류, n은 스트립의 번호, N은 스트립의 총 개수,

은, n번째 스트립으로부터 수신되는 전류,

은 n번째 스트립의 교정 계수(예를 들어 측정하고자 하는 건강 지수의 종류, 스트립의 종류, 제조사의 종류 등에 기초하여 산출된 계수),

은 n번째 스트립의 가중치(예를 들어 상술한 스트립의 상태 및 건강 지수 간의 연관성에 기초하여 산출된 계수)일 수 있다.here

Is the average-weighted current, n is the number of strips, N is the total number of strips,

Is the current received from the nth strip,

Is the calibration factor of the nth strip (e.g., a factor calculated based on the type of health index to be measured, the type of strip, the type of manufacturer, etc.),

May be the weight of the nth strip (eg, a coefficient calculated based on the correlation between the state of the strip and the health index described above).

For example, the health index to be measured is blood sugar, the first strip is a blood sugar measurement strip, the first manufacturer, the difference between the received impulse response value and a predetermined value is 0, and the measured first current is 10μA, the second strip is a blood glucose measurement strip, the second manufacturer, the difference between the received impulse response value and a predetermined value is 100, the measured second current is 50 μA, and the third strip is for blood glucose measurement It is a strip, a third manufacturer, the difference between the received impulse response value and a predetermined value is 10, the measured third current is 30 μA, and the fourth strip is a pregnancy test strip, a fourth manufacturer, and receives The difference between the value of one impulse response and the predetermined value may be 0, and the measured fourth current may be 40 μA.

In this case, an example of the average-weighted current may be as shown in Equation 3 below.

This is less reflected for strips that are considered to be in poor condition even among multiple strips and strips that have a low correlation with the index to be measured, and strips that are considered to be in good condition and strips that are highly related to the index to be measured are reflected. This is to do a lot of things.

Through this, there is an effect of increasing the accuracy of the health index measured by the health index measuring apparatus 200.

According to some embodiments, when the plurality of strips 300 are connected to the strip input unit 110, the control unit 160 performs an average-weighting process based on a plurality of currents received through the plurality of strips 300. The current may be generated and a health index measurement result may be generated based on the average-weighted current.

As described above, for strips that are considered to be in poor condition even between a plurality of strips and strips that have a low correlation with the index to be measured, reflect less, and strips that are considered to be in good condition and strips that are highly correlated with the index to be measured It has the effect of increasing the accuracy of the health index measurement result by reflecting a lot of

According to some embodiments, the controller 160 of the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device recognizes the strip 300 that the user's gaze is facing through the camera unit, and the strip 300 corresponding to the recognized user's gaze. The weight of can be increased further.

This may be to improve measurement accuracy by assigning a higher weight to the strip 300 of interest to the user.

However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto. According to some embodiments, the control unit 160 transmits an impulse signal to one strip input unit 110, and receives the impulse response and the strip input unit 110. The type and manufacturer of the connected strip 300 can be recognized based on the standard.

This assumes that the connected strip 300 is in a normal state, and when the strip 300 is in a normal state, a specific impulse response will be detected according to the manufacturer and type of the connected strip, so the strip input unit 110 corresponding to the impulse response Based on the standard of and the corresponding impulse response, the type and manufacturer of the connected strip 300 can be recognized.

However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

Through this, the adapter 100 for the health index measuring device can automatically recognize the type and manufacturer of the connected strip 300, thereby providing convenience to the user.

According to some embodiments, the health index measuring device 200 may display an interface for determining the location of the health index measuring device adapter 100 on the screen.

When receiving an input for determining a location from a user through an interface, the health index measurement apparatus 200 may transmit a location information request signal to the adapter 100 for a health index measurement apparatus through a communication unit.

When receiving the location information request signal, the health index measuring device adapter 100 transmits the location information recognized from the position sensor unit to the health index measuring device 200, and through the speaker unit 133, voice information (e.g. For example, a beep) can be output.

Through this, the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device may allow a user to easily find the location of the adapter 100 for a health index measuring device. However, this is only an example, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

It may be transmitted to the measurement device 200 or may be displayed on the display unit 131.

As another example, the control unit 160 generates activity recommendation information for administering a specific drug (for example, insulin) based on the user's activity information and the health index measurement result, and uses the generated activity recommendation information to be healthy. It may be transmitted to the index measuring device 200 or may be displayed on the display unit 131.
