Item Privacy score age 54 7 gender male 10 last educational background high 8 marriage divorce 3 family history X 10 DNA X 10 Exercise Once a week 5 smoking O 5 Drinking 4 times a week 5 social activity O 10 mental illness X 10 brain trauma O 3 vascular disease X 10 combined score 96

Here, the lower the summed score on personal information, the lower the cognitive ability and the higher the risk of dementia, and the higher the summed score on personal information, the higher the cognitive ability and the lower risk of dementia. have.

The personal information entered by the user can be registered when logging in for the first time, and can be selectively changed according to the user's request.

Meanwhile, the cognitive ability determiner 182 may generate first cognitive level information in which the sum of personal information is reflected based on the user's personal information input at the time of initial login.

Here, the first cognitive level information may be applied to each of a memory group, a concentration group, a computational power group, a spatiotemporal group, a thought processing group, and a language group.

In addition, the cognitive ability determination unit 182 may determine whether the mission is completed through the solution input by the user, and upon completion of the mission, may give a mission score for each mission based on the solution.

In addition, the cognitive ability determination unit 182 may calculate the mission summation score by adding up the mission scores given in each mission.

In addition, the cognitive ability determiner 182 may generate the second cognitive level information by reflecting the summation score of the personal information and the mission summation score added together as described above.

Here, the second recognition level information may be an average of the summation score of personal information and the summation score of the mission.

The cognitive ability determination unit 182 may derive an average value by adding the summation score of personal information and the summation score of the mission in a 1:1 ratio.

On the other hand, the cognitive ability determination unit 182 selects at least one risk factor among the input personal information,

A user who is given the lowest score for the at least one risk factor may be designated as a risk group, and a ratio of the total score of the personal information to the total score of the mission for the user designated as the risk group may be set to be larger.

Here, the risk factor may include at least one of age information, final educational background information, family history information, brain trauma information, and vascular disease information.

The risk factor may occupy a relatively large proportion of the user's personal information in the incidence of dementia, and may be education level-related, disease-related, genetic-related, or accident-related information.

For example, the cognitive ability determination unit 182, as shown in [Table 1] and [Table 3], when a specific user has suffered a brain trauma corresponding to a risk factor, designates the user as a risk group, and The second recognition level information may be generated by setting a higher ratio of the mission summation score to the summation score of the personal information.

The problem providing unit 183 selects at least one of the missions stored in the storage unit 160, classified into a memory group, a concentration group, a computational power group, a spatiotemporal group, a thought processing group, and a language group, from each group, and the output unit 150 ) can be provided to users.

Here, the problem providing unit 183 may select a mission based on the second cognitive level information generated by the cognitive ability determining unit 182 as a result value of the previous order and provide it to the user.

Here, the problem providing unit 183 may provide the user with the mission of the same difficulty for each group in a single mission providing order a plurality of times.

That is, the problem providing unit 183 may select the mission related to each group in the first order as two specific levels and provide it three or more times.

For example, in each episode (one time, two times, three times), the mission of the second level may be repeatedly provided.

Through this, the cognitive ability determining unit 182 may secure the reliability of the user's answer.

For example, in the mission of the memory group, the user who received the mission in the first order recorded a correct answer rate of about 70% or more for the missions of level 1, level 2, and level 3 in the mission of the memory group, and a correct rate of about 40% or less for the missions of level 4 and 5 is recorded, the cognitive ability determining unit 182 may determine that the user's memory and cognitive function is level 3 by reflecting the summed score of personal information and the user's mission resolution information.

Thereafter, the problem providing unit 183 is based on the user's cognitive function for each group classified in the previous order, in each group the level corresponding to the user's cognitive function, the mission of the level immediately below, and the mission of the level immediately above may be selected as 1:1:1 and transmitted to the output unit 150 in the next order.

For example, the problem providing unit 183 provides a second level mission, a 3rd level mission, and a 4th level mission in the mission of the memory group in the second order to the user determined that the memory recognition function is level 3 in the first order. 1:1 can be selected and transmitted to the output unit 150 .

On the other hand, if the user's cognitive function is the highest level in a specific group based on the user's cognitive function for each group classified in the previous order, the problem providing unit 183 determines the level of the mission corresponding to the user's cognitive function and The mission of the lower level can be selected 2:1 and transmitted to the output unit 150 in the next order, and based on the user's cognitive function for each group classified in the previous order, the user's cognitive function in a specific group is the lowest level In the case of , a mission of a level corresponding to the user's cognitive function and a mission of a level immediately above may be selected at a ratio of 2:1 and transmitted to the output unit 150 in the next order.

For example, the problem providing unit 183 provides a user whose concentration cognitive function is determined to be 5 levels (highest) in the first order (the first day), in the second order (the next day), the mission of the 5 level and the 4 level in the mission of the concentration group The mission of 2:1 can be selected and transmitted to the output unit 150, and the computing power group in the second order (next day) to the user whose computational power recognition function is determined to be 1st level (lowest) in the first order (the first day) In the mission of , the 1st level mission and the 2nd level mission may be selected 2:1 and transmitted to the output unit 150 .

Accordingly, it is possible to improve the discrimination power of the user's cognitive function determination determined by the cognitive ability determination unit 182 .

Thereafter, the above-described process is repeated every day through the cognitive ability determining unit 182 and the problem providing unit 183 , and the change in each level and the correct answer rate of the user at each level may be accumulated and stored in the storage unit 160 . .

On the other hand, the problem providing unit 183 increases the amount of time distribution within a predetermined time for a specific group whose cognitive function has deteriorated based on the user's cognitive function for each group classified in the previous order, and the cognitive function is relatively This improvement can reduce the amount of time distribution within a given time for a specific group.

For example, the problem providing unit 183 determines that the concentration cognitive function is level 5 through the cognitive ability determination unit 182 in the previous order, and the computational power recognition function is level 1, the problem providing unit 183 is the mission of the computing power group in the next order. The provision time can be relatively increased, and the mission provision time of the focus group can be relatively reduced.

Through this, the user can increase the training time for the relatively diminished cognitive function, and activate the amount of activity in one or other areas of the brain to improve the relatively weakened specific cognitive function, which is responsible for the corresponding cognitive function. By activating a specific area of the brain as well as areas outside of a specific area through repetitive training and weight training, the corresponding cognitive function can be improved.

The result providing unit 184 may process the user's cognitive function level or cognitive function score calculated by the cognitive ability determination unit 182 into information recognizable by the user and output it through the output unit 150 .

Here, the group equivalent to the user may be defined as a group of users having similar basic information to the user based on the user's basic information (eg, age, cognitive function level, etc.).

That is, the user can check his/her cognitive function score and the cognitive function score of the same group on a single screen, so that the user can be alert and choose his/her own among the memory group, concentration group, computational power group, spatiotemporal group, thought processing group, and language group.
