The health status of companion animals and health information required for companion animals may vary depending on genetic factors or living factors for each type of companion animal. Pet owners choose the foods their pets eat to improve the health of their pets. In other words, companion animals tend to select and purchase feed or nutritional supplements in consideration of their health status for each individual companion animal. In addition, according to related research, the majority of households with companion animals purchase nutritional supplements for companion animals other than feed. Accordingly, there is an increasing need for a service that provides companion animal health information, nutritional information, and nutritional recommendation information based on this to companion pet owners.

On the other hand, when human beings receive medical services in Korea, in order to prevent drug side effects caused by taking multiple drugs by patients, information on drug safety is provided to doctors and pharmacists in real time to check inappropriate drug use in advance. DUR (Drug Utilization Review) service is being used. However, in the case of veterinary hospitals, it is not compulsory to store medical records as digital data and there is no obligation to issue medical records. Therefore, there is a high risk that companion animals will be exposed to side effects caused by taking multiple medicines or taking medicines and nutritional supplements together. Accordingly, there is an increasing need for a service that provides specific information on ingredients and nutrients included in feed, medicines and nutritional supplements consumed by companion animals to companion animals.

Hereinafter, a method of providing an application related to nutritional information of a companion animal according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

2 is a flowchart illustrating an application providing method according to an embodiment.

Referring to FIG. 2 , in step S201, the application providing server may collect the user's companion animal intake information. The application providing server may collect intake information related to feed, nutritional supplements, and medicines consumed by the user's companion animal based on the questionnaire data for the user's companion animal. For example, the application providing server may obtain at least one of the name of the feed consumed by the user's companion animal, the name of the nutritional supplement, and the name of the drug from the questionnaire data. In addition, the application providing server may collect the intake information by searching for the name of the acquired feed, the name of the nutritional supplement, and the name of the medicine.

According to an embodiment, the questionnaire data for the user's companion animal may be information obtained based on a user input. For example, the application providing server may provide a questionnaire for the user's companion animal, and may acquire questionnaire data about the user's companion animal based on the user's input. Alternatively, the application providing server may acquire the questionnaire data for the user's companion animal from an external server. In this case, the external server may be a server that provides other services linked to the application providing server. For example, the external server may be a server that provides a companion animal health management service.

In step S202, the application providing server may acquire at least one of risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information based on the intake information obtained in step S201. For example, the application providing server may acquire at least one of risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information by analyzing intake information.

According to an embodiment, the risk factor information may indicate risk factors for a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal. For example, the risk factor information may include combination prohibited ingredient information indicating a combination prohibited ingredient for each of a plurality of ingredients consumed by the companion animal. According to an embodiment, the application providing server may obtain information on ingredients prohibited in combination by using interaction information between ingredients of food and/or drugs. In this case, the application providing server may acquire interaction information between ingredients of food and/or pharmaceuticals from a specific database. Alternatively, the application providing server may obtain information on ingredients prohibited in combination by using pre-stored interaction information. The application providing server provides information on ingredients that are prohibited in combination to the user, thereby reducing the exposure of the companion animal to side effects caused by the simultaneous use between drugs or between food and drugs.

According to an embodiment, the risk factor information may include information on the drug Mugger action of a drug consumed by the companion animal. The application providing server may acquire information on the drug drug action of the companion animal ingested based on at least one of information related to medicine and interaction information between ingredients of food and/or medicine. Certain nutrients required by companion animals may be deficient due to the drug-mugger action of medicines consumed by companion animals. The application providing server according to an embodiment of the present invention can reduce a case in which a companion animal is exposed to a nutrient deficiency by efficiently providing information on the drug mugger action to the user.

According to an embodiment, the nutritional status evaluation information may represent the nutritional status of the companion animal compared to the standard nutritional data. For example, the nutritional status evaluation information may include at least one of deficient nutrient information and excess nutrient information. According to an embodiment, the application providing server may obtain nutritional status evaluation information of the companion animal by comparing the intake information collected in step S201 with the standard nutritional data. The standard nutrition data may represent nutrient information set to be consumed by the companion animal according to at least one of a species, weight, and age of the companion animal.

Specifically, the application providing server may acquire nutritional status evaluation information by collecting information about the user's companion animal. For example, the application providing server may collect information about the user's companion animal based on the questionnaire data about the companion animal. The application providing server may select standard nutrition data to be compared from the standard nutrition database based on the species, weight, and age information of the companion animal. The application providing server may obtain at least one of deficient nutrient information and excess nutrient information by comparing the companion animal's intake information with the selected standard nutritional data.

According to an embodiment, the recommended nutritional information may indicate information about a nutritional supplement recommended for the user's companion animal. For example, the recommended nutritional information may include information indicating at least one of a name, a price, a seller, all ingredients, and a main ingredient of a recommended nutritional supplement.

In step S203, the application providing server may calculate an importance score for each risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information. According to one embodiment, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the risk factor information by using the combination prohibited component information. For example, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the risk factor information based on the number of components corresponding to the prohibited combination component among a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal.

The application providing server may obtain the number of components corresponding to the prohibited combination components among a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal by comparing the intake information and the combination prohibited ingredient information. As the number of ingredients that are prohibited in combination among the plurality of ingredients consumed by the companion animal increases, the application providing server may set the importance score of the risk factor information to be higher. The application providing server efficiently provides information on ingredients prohibited in combination to the user, thereby reducing the case where the companion animal is exposed to side effects caused by the simultaneous use between drugs or between food and drugs.

According to an embodiment, the application providing server may calculate an importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information based on at least one of deficient nutrient information and excess nutrient information. For example, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information based on the number of deficient nutrients and the number of excess nutrients. Specifically, the importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information may increase as the number of deficient nutrients increases. Also, the importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information may increase as the number of excess nutrients increases.

According to an embodiment, the application providing server may calculate an importance score of the recommended nutritional information based on the nutritional status evaluation information. For example, the importance score of the recommended nutritional information may be calculated based on the number of deficient nutrients.

As another example, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information based on the nutritional status evaluation score. The nutritional status evaluation information may include a nutritional status evaluation score for the nutritional status of the user's companion animal. The application providing server may acquire a nutritional status evaluation score based on the questionnaire data for the companion animal. Specifically, the application providing server may obtain a nutritional status evaluation score based on the questionnaire data using a pre-trained learning model. In this case, the application providing server may utilize the above-described standard nutrition data. The application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information by normalizing the nutritional status evaluation score to the importance score. For example, the application providing server may set the importance score of the recommended nutritional information as a value obtained by subtracting the nutritional status evaluation score from the upper limit score of the importance score.

According to one embodiment, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information based on the user's application use history. For example, the application providing server may acquire information on the number of times the user searches for nutritional supplements based on the user's identification information. The application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information based on the number of times the user's nutritional search information.

In step S204, the application providing server may generate the output information constituting the application screen of the user terminal, based on the importance score of each risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information. In this case, the output information may include risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information. Also, the output information may include placement information indicating a position where each of risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information is displayed on the application screen. For example, according to an embodiment, the application providing server may generate arrangement information for arranging information having the greatest importance score among risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information at the top of the application providing screen.

According to an embodiment, the application providing server may generate output information displaying risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information in order of importance score from the top of the application providing screen. For example, when the importance score of the risk factor information is the highest, the application providing server may generate output information for displaying the risk factor information by placing it at the top of the application providing screen. The application providing server may transmit the corresponding output information to the user terminal. In this case, the user terminal may display the risk factor information by placing it at the top of the application providing screen.

In step S205, the application providing server may transmit the output information generated in step S204 to the user terminal. In this case, the output information may include the arrangement information generated in step S204. Specifically, the application providing server may transmit the output information to the user terminal so that the user terminal provides risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information displayed at a location according to the placement information. The user terminal may display risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information on the application screen based on the received output information.

Hereinafter, a method for the application providing server to calculate an importance score for each risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 3 .

3 is a diagram illustrating an example of an importance score for each piece of information calculated according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to an embodiment, the importance score of each risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information may be an integer within a preset range. For example, the importance score of each risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information may be a value between (0 to n+1). In this case, n is an integer greater than 1. Specifically, the application providing server may set n to 100.

According to an embodiment, when at least one ingredient among a plurality of ingredients consumed by the companion animal corresponds to a prohibited ingredient in combination, the application providing server may set the importance score of the risk factor information to a maximum value within a preset range. . For example, when the importance score is a value between (0 to n+1), the application providing server may set the importance score of the risk factor information to n.

Referring to FIG. 3 , when a component corresponding to a prohibited combination component exists among a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal (that is, when the number of components prohibited in combination among a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal is one or more ), the application providing server may set the importance score of the risk factor information to '100'. The application providing server efficiently provides information on ingredients prohibited in combination to the user, thereby reducing the case where the companion animal is exposed to side effects caused by the simultaneous use between drugs or between food and drugs.

Conversely, if there is no component corresponding to the prohibited component among the plurality of components consumed by the companion animal (that is, when the number of components prohibited in combination among the plurality of components consumed by the companion animal is 0), the application providing server The importance score of risk factor information can be set as the sum of the number of ingredients prohibited in combination and the number of drug merger actions.

According to an embodiment, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information by giving weight to the number of deficient nutrients rather than the number of excess nutrients. This is because, when a pet consumes an excessive amount of nutrients, it can be fatal to a pet when a nutrient is deficient. Referring to FIG. 3 , when the number of deficient nutrients is 5 and the number of excess nutrients is 5 according to the nutritional status evaluation information, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the nutritional status evaluation information as '15'.

According to an embodiment, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information by adding a preset score when there is at least one deficient nutrient. This is because it is essential to provide users with information on recommended nutritional supplements when a companion animal is deficient in nutrients. In addition, when the companion animal has a deficient nutrient, it is possible to increase user convenience by exposing the recommended nutritional supplement information on top of other information on the user's application providing screen. Referring to FIG. 3 , the preset score may be '30'. In addition, when the number of deficient nutrients is 5 according to the nutritional status evaluation information, the application providing server may calculate the importance score of the recommended nutritional information as '40'.

Next, the application providing server may generate batch information based on the importance score of each of the calculated risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information. For example, the placement information may be expressed as a priority of risk factor information, nutritional status evaluation information, and recommended nutritional information information. Referring to FIG. 3 , the application providing server may generate batch information in which priority is set to 'risk factor information: 1, nutritional status evaluation information: 3, and recommended nutritional information: 2'. In this case, each of the risk factor information and the nutritional status evaluation information may be arranged and displayed at a preset position according to the priority on the application providing screen of the user terminal.

In the embodiment of FIG. 3 , the preset range of the importance score is described as 0 to 100, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto. In addition, the data 30 of FIG. 3 is only an example for explaining how the application providing server calculates the importance score, and the method in which the data is stored in the actual application providing server is not limited to the form shown in FIG. 3 .

According to a specific embodiment, the application providing server is the importance score of each of the risk factor information (W), nutritional status evaluation information (N), and recommended nutritional information (R) as shown in Equation 1, Equation 2, and Equation 3 below can be calculated. In Equation 1, Equation 2, and Equation 3 below, n may represent the maximum value of the importance score. In addition, NE represents a nutritional status evaluation score, and may have a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to n.

[Equation 1]

In Equation 1, C represents the number of components prohibited in combination, and D represents the number of drugmerger actions. c1 is a constant for the number (C) of ingredients prohibited in combination, d1 is a constant for the number (D) of drug merger actions, and c1 may be a value greater than d1. In addition, cc represents the number of components that are prohibited in combination among a plurality of components consumed by the companion animal.

[Equation 2]

In Equation 2, M represents the number of deficient nutrients, and O represents the number of excess nutrients. In addition, w1 and w2 represent a first weight value for the number of deficient nutrients (M) and a second weight value for the number (O) of excess nutrients, respectively. w1 and w2 may be integers greater than 0.

[Equation 3]

In Equation 2, M represents the number of deficient nutrients. E is an integer greater than 0, indicating the weight of the presence or absence of a deficient nutrient. In addition, S may represent the frequency of the user's nutritional search for a preset period. w1 represents a first weight value for the number of deficient nutrients (M), and a third weight value for the user's nutrient search frequency (S). In this case, w1 and s1 may be integers greater than 0. In addition, Cor may represent the correlation between functional raw material information of recommended nutritional supplements and questionnaire data for companion animals. This will be described in detail below.

According to an additional embodiment, when the respective importance scores of the risk factor information and the recommended nutritional information are the same, the application providing server may generate batch information such that the risk factor information is displayed above the recommended nutritional information on the application providing screen. . In addition, when the importance score of each of the risk factor information and the nutritional status evaluation information is the same, the application providing server may generate batch information such that the risk factor information is displayed above the nutritional status evaluation information on the application providing screen. This is because exposing risk factor information to users first can help the safety of companion animals.
