FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram of a personalized healthcare service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1, a personalized healthcare service providing system according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a user device (100), an administrator terminal (200), a management server (300), and at least one content terminal (400).

A user device (100), such as an RFID band worn on the user's wrist, receives and stores avatar information generated by the administrator terminal (200) according to avatar selection information entered by the user into the administrator terminal (200), from the administrator terminal (200), and when the user tags the user device (100) to the RF communication module of the content terminal (400) to use the content terminal (400), the user device (100) transmits the corresponding avatar information to the content terminal (400).

The administrator terminal (200) can be installed at the entrance of a theme park, which is an offline space that provides a personalized healthcare service according to the present invention, and the administrator terminal (200) generates avatar information including a user ID and an avatar image based on avatar selection information entered by the user, transmits the generated avatar information to the user device (100), and transmits a user registration request including user ID information to the management server (300).

The management server (300) receives content usage information of the user from multiple content terminals (400) used by the user, and analyzes the user's exercise performance based on each content usage information received from the multiple content terminals (400).

A plurality of content terminals (400) are installed in various locations within a theme park, which is an offline space that provides personalized healthcare services according to the present invention, and each content terminal (400) will be able to provide different types of sports game content.

FIG. 2 is a functional block diagram showing the structure of a management server (300) executing a method for providing personalized healthcare services according to one embodiment of the present invention.

Meanwhile, various transmission information from the transmission unit (370), various analysis and generation information from the calculation unit (350), and various transmission information from the transmission unit (370) may be accumulated and stored in the storage unit (330) of the management server (300).

FIG. 3 is a signal flow diagram illustrating an execution process of a method for providing personalized healthcare services according to one embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the execution process of a method for providing personalized healthcare services according to one embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3.

First, a user who visits a theme park, which is an offline space that provides a personalized healthcare service according to the present invention, receives a user device (100), such as a band equipped with an RFID tag, from the facility manager, and then inputs selection information about his or her avatar and the user's body information through the manager terminal (200) installed at the entrance.

Specifically, the user selects one of a plurality of avatar images displayed on the screen of the administrator terminal (200), determines and inputs a name (i.e., user ID) for his or her avatar, and determines and inputs additional selection items such as face shape, clothing, and decoration for the selected avatar image.

Accordingly, the administrator terminal (200) can generate an avatar image based on each of the user's input information (S510) and then output a guidance message such as 'Please touch the RFID band to the administrator terminal.'

Accordingly, when a user tags a user device (100) to an administrator terminal (200), the RFID communication module of the administrator terminal (200) transmits avatar information including an avatar image and a user ID to the user device (100) (S520), and the user device (100) stores the avatar information received from the administrator terminal (200) in an RFID tag.

In addition, the user can additionally input user body information such as gender information, height information, and weight information through the administrator terminal (200), and can additionally input selection information for a content terminal (400) that the user wishes to use among a plurality of about 20 content terminals (400).

Accordingly, the administrator terminal (200) may generate a user registration request including a user ID, user body information, and selection information of the content terminal (400), and transmit it to the management server (300) (S530).

Accordingly, the management server (300) may create a user management account based on the user ID received from the management terminal (200) and store the user registration request in association with the corresponding management account.

Meanwhile, as the management server (300) transmits a user management request including a user ID to each content terminal (400) corresponding to the content terminal (400) selection information included in the user registration request (S540), the content terminal (400) stores the user management request received from the management server (300).

After the user registration procedure as described above is completed, the user sequentially visits the content terminal (400) of his/her choice within the theme park and uses the sports game content provided by each content terminal (400) in the game format.

Specifically, when a user approaches a content terminal (400) and tags the user device (100) to the RFID communication module of the content terminal (400), the avatar information stored in the user device (100) in step S520 described above is transmitted to the content terminal (400) (S550).

Accordingly, the content terminal (400) executes a user authentication procedure by determining whether the user ID included in the avatar information received from the user device (100) matches the user ID included in the user management request received from the management server (300) in step S540 described above.

If the user IDs do not match, the content terminal (400) outputs a message such as 'This content is not registered for use and cannot be used', and if the user IDs match, the avatar image included in the avatar information received from the user device (100) in the aforementioned step S550 is output on the screen of the content terminal (400) and the sports game content in the form of a game is executed according to the user's operation of the content terminal (400) (S560).

In this way, in the present invention, since the user's avatar information is stored in the user device (100), the user can control the avatar image selected by the user to be output to each content terminal (400) by tagging the user device (100) that the user possesses to each content terminal (400).

Meanwhile, the content terminal (400) may provide content in which a game such as tug-of-war is played according to the speed and number of times the user continuously presses buttons (physical buttons or buttons displayed on the touch display screen of the content terminal) provided on the content terminal (400), content in which a game such as back-and-forth running is played according to the speed and number of times the user alternately presses the buttons while running back and forth between two physical buttons installed at intervals of about 5 m, etc.

In this way, as the user uses the sports game content provided by each content terminal (400), each content terminal (400) transmits content usage information including the user's performance (e.g., grade 1 to 5) in the corresponding sports game, game scores, game records, and user ID to the management server (300) (S570).

Accordingly, the management server (300) searches for a user account corresponding to the user ID included in the content usage information, and accumulates and stores content usage information received from each content terminal (400) in the searched user account.

Meanwhile, the operation unit (350) of the management server (300) may analyze the user's exercise performance based on the content usage information received from each content terminal (400) and the user's body information included in the user registration request in the aforementioned step S530 (S580).

Specifically, the management server (300) may calculate the user's exercise performance value by adding up the user's game scores received from each content terminal (400) or calculating the average value of each game score, and determine this as the user's exercise performance value.

In addition, the management server (300) may also calculate exercise performance values by correcting the user's exercise performance values calculated as described above using the user's body information.

Specifically, the management server (300) may calculate the user's obesity index by dividing the user's weight value by the height value and then multiplying by 100, and may also calculate the exercise performance index by multiplying the calculated obesity index by the user's exercise performance value.

This allows users with high BMI scores to be awarded the same exercise performance scores as users of normal weight, even if their exercise performance scores are relatively low.

In addition, the management server (300) may be able to finally calculate the exercise performance value for a female user by multiplying the exercise performance value or exercise performance performance value calculated as described above by a predetermined correction factor (e.g., 1.5) if the user's gender is female.

This allows female users to receive the same level of exercise performance scores as male users, even if their exercise performance values are relatively lower.

Meanwhile, when a user selects 'Usage History Inquiry' on the screen of a content terminal (400) and tags a user device (100) to check his/her content usage information up to the present while using multiple content terminals (400), the content terminal (400) may generate a user usage history inquiry request including a user ID included in the avatar information received from the user device (100) and transmit it to the management server (300) (S590).

In carrying out the present invention, when the user selects 'Usage History Inquiry' on the screen of the content terminal (400) and tags the user device (100), and the content terminal (400) receives the user ID from the user device (100), it is preferable that the content terminal (400) not execute the user authentication procedure in step S560 described above, so that the user can also inquire the usage history through the content terminal (400) that the user has not selected to use.

Accordingly, the management server (300) may search for a user account corresponding to the user ID included in the usage record inquiry request received from the content terminal (400), generate a content usage record including each content usage information of the user stored in connection with the searched user account, and an exercise performance value calculated interim by the above-described method based thereon, and transmit the content usage record to the content terminal (400) (S595).

Through this, users can check the usage information and exercise performance figures for each content terminal (400) they have used so far.

Meanwhile, in carrying out the present invention, when the management server (300) receives a request for a usage record inquiry from a content terminal (400), the management server (300) selects a user of the same gender as the user among other users (for example, users whose obesity levels are the same as or within a predetermined error range [for example, 10%] as the user) who have body information that is identical to or similar to the body information of the user included in the user registration request received from the management terminal (200) in step S530 described above as the user's competitor, and transmits the content usage record stored in connection with the account of the selected competitor to the content terminal (400) together, thereby motivating the user to exercise more actively using the remaining content terminals (400).

Meanwhile, the user movement performance analysis procedure in the aforementioned S580 step may be repeatedly executed while cumulatively reflecting the user's content usage information additionally received from the remaining content terminals (400).

In addition, when the user's exercise performance value is finally calculated by receiving all content usage information from all content terminals (400) selected by the user, the management server (300) may generate an exercise performance report including the final exercise performance value and usage information for each content and transmit it to the administrator terminal (200).

Meanwhile, when implementing the present invention, if user terminal information, such as a smartphone phone number entered by the user through the administrator terminal (200), is included in the user registration request in the aforementioned step S530, the management server (300) may transmit an exercise performance report to the user terminal.

In addition, when implementing the present invention, the administrator terminal (200) may recommend to the user the selection of a content terminal that induces exercise suitable for the user based on the body information input by the user.

Specifically, the administrator terminal (200) may calculate a body fat index based on the user's body information as in the method described above, and may select at least one content terminal, which is stored in connection with section information including the body fat index calculated based on the user's body information among three numerical sections of upper, middle, and lower pre-determined body fat index, as a content terminal for the user.

Accordingly, the user will be able to select the content terminal to use from among the multiple content terminals selected by the administrator terminal (200) and displayed on the screen of the administrator terminal (200) as described above.

In addition, the administrator terminal (200) generates usage order information (e.g., third content terminal->first content terminal->second content terminal) of multiple content terminals selected by the user based on the selection information of the content terminal input by the user and the selection information of other users' content terminals in the same time zone, and outputs this information through the screen of the administrator terminal (200) to provide it to the user, thereby allowing the user to use the content terminal with as little waiting time as possible.

In addition, the administrator terminal (200) may generate movement path information within the theme park for the user to use the plurality of content terminals selected by the user according to the usage order based on the selection information of the content terminal input by the user and the usage order information of the plurality of content terminals generated as described above.

In addition, the administrator terminal (200) may support efficient movement of the user within the theme park by outputting such movement path information through the screen of the administrator terminal (200) or transmitting it to a user terminal such as a smart phone selected by the user.

In addition, when implementing the present invention, the management server (300) may generate recommended exercise information for improving the health of the user based on the analysis result of the user's exercise performance in the aforementioned step S580, and transmit the information to a user terminal such as a smart phone, thereby supporting health management through exercise of the user who visited the theme park.

Specifically, the management server (300) can divide exercise performance values into three numerical ranges: upper, middle, and lower, and can generate recommended exercise information for the user based on exercise prescription content (e.g., stair climbing) stored in connection with the range information including the user's exercise performance values.

Meanwhile, in carrying out the present invention, when a user who has finished using the content terminal wishes to purchase the user device (100) that he or she has used, the user device (100) is tagged to the RFID communication module of the administrator terminal (200), and the administrator terminal (200) can transmit the user's exercise performance analysis report received from the management server (300) to the user device (100).

Accordingly, the user device (100) stores user avatar information including a user ID and a user's exercise performance analysis report. As a result, when the user revisits the theme park and tags the user device (100) to the administrator terminal (200), the administrator terminal (200) can receive the user avatar information including a user ID and an exercise performance analysis report from the user device (100).

Accordingly, the administrator terminal (200) selects and recommends a content terminal suitable for a returning user from among a plurality of content terminals (400) based on the exercise performance analysis report received from the user device (100), thereby being able to recommend customized content based on the exercise performance analysis report of the user's past visits.

Specifically, the administrator terminal (200) may select a content terminal corresponding to content usage information having a game score below a predetermined standard score from among the usage information of each content included in the exercise performance analysis report and recommend it to the user, thereby helping the user's exercise ability to be evenly improved.

In addition, in carrying out the present invention, a program for executing a method for providing personalized healthcare services according to the present invention may be installed in a management server (300) according to the present invention, recorded in various computer-readable recording media, or stored in a server that transmits the program through a network.

Meanwhile, the order of the above-described steps (S510 to S595) in the present invention is only an example and is not limited thereto. That is, the order of the above-described steps (S510 to S595) may be mutually changed, and some of the steps may be executed simultaneously or deleted.

Although the preferred embodiments and application examples of the present invention have been illustrated and described above, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments and application examples described above, and various modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the gist of the present invention as claimed in the claims. Furthermore, such modifications should not be individually understood from the technical idea or prospect of the present invention.
