In this manner, the system enables the user to diagnose a state of health through various sensor devices, analyze the result in a server, and confirm the analysis result through a wireless communication terminal. Therefore, a heavy load can be performed in the server to reduce the development and manufacturing costs of the mobile communication terminal, the sensor device or the relay device. Analysis and storage are also performed on the server, allowing data to be easily accumulated and analyzed, resulting in consistent user health management.
Next, a health care method according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described. The health care method of this embodiment can be performed in each apparatus of the system shown in FIG.
First, referring to FIG. 6, the sensor device receives health state information from a sensor (S110). The health state information may be in the form of arithmetic data or may be an analog or digital electrical signal. The received signal is analyzed in step S120 and is transmitted to the relay device in step S130. The analysis in step S120 may include conversion of signal / data types such as analog-digital conversion, data conversion of electrical signals, and the like. In addition, the analysis may include relatively simple operations such as coefficients, comparisons, and the like. As described above in the previous embodiment, the analysis of step S120 is preferably minimized in order to reduce the load on the sensor device and reduce the device cost.
Meanwhile, as described above, the transmission of step S130 may be performed using a wireless communication scheme such as ZigBee ™ .
Next, referring to FIG. 7, the relay device receives health state information from the sensor device (S210). Next, the received information is converted and / or analyzed (S220) and transmitted to the wireless communication terminal (S230). The transformation and / or analysis in step S220 is also substantially the same as that described above. On the other hand, the transmission of step S230 may be by wired or wireless communication, but preferably using a wired serial communication.
Referring to FIG. 8, the wireless communication terminal starts the method by receiving health state information from the relay device (S310). The received health state information is transmitted to the server for analysis (S320), and in step S330, analysis result information about the health state information is received. In an embodiment, the method may further include converting and / or analyzing information in the wireless communication terminal itself before step S320. In another embodiment, the method may further include displaying information to a user through a display unit, which may not be separately analyzed or may be easily analyzed by the terminal itself.
The analysis result information received in step S330 is displayed to the user through the display unit of the terminal (S340). Therefore, the user can easily check his or her health state and diagnosis results through the terminal. In addition, it is possible to simplify the configuration of the terminal and reduce the cost to the user by delegating the analysis of the health state information that requires complex computation to the server.
A health management method executed in the server will be described with reference to FIG. 9. First, the server receives health state information from the wireless communication terminal (S410). The received information is analyzed in an appropriate manner in step S420, and based on the analysis result information is generated. The analysis method may be applied in various ways according to the type of health status information, and may be continuously updated according to the development of analysis technology.
The generated analysis result information is transmitted back to the wireless communication terminal (S430). Meanwhile, the analysis result information and the health state information are stored in the database in relation to the user information (S440). As a result, the user and the related person can access and use the information afterwards and monitor and manage the user's health remotely. Accumulated information also enables individual health care.
For example, it is determined in step S450 whether there is a request for analysis result information or the like. If there is no request, it waits until there is a request, and if there is a request, the process proceeds to step S460 to transmit the requested information and again to monitor the existence of the information request.
In one embodiment, if there is a request for information, it may go through a user authentication step before proceeding to step S460. This prevents unauthorized access to your health information.
Various wireless data communication methods may be used for the communication between the wireless communication terminal and the server, but it is preferable to use TCP / IP or UDP to receive information from various types of terminals. This makes it possible to obtain information by accessing the server through a general personal computer as well as a wireless communication terminal.
Meanwhile, the method may be implemented in software and executed on a computer. The software may be implemented in a form that includes one or more software modules that execute some or all of the above described method steps. Software can also be implemented on a variety of platforms in a variety of programming languages. For example, the method of FIG. 8 performed on a wireless communication terminal may be developed based on Binary Runtime Environment for Wireless (BREW). BREW is an application development environment developed by Qualcomm, which can run on chipsets provided by Qualcomm.
In addition, a method executed on a wireless communication terminal for wireless Internet communication may be implemented based on a wireless internet platform for interoperability (WIPI). WIPI is a wireless Internet platform used in Korea, and all mobile communication terminals sold in Korea are now forced to include this platform.
In addition, software and software modules may be implemented in various service models. For example, when the server communicates with a PC, the method performed on the server may be an application implemented in the form of an application service provider (ASP) and provided and operated according to a request of the user PC. Alternatively, the application may run on the server itself and only the results may be sent to the user's PC. In addition, the software can be implemented in a user-friendly form such as PHP, JSP (JAVA Script Page), etc. to facilitate the user's use.
The software is recorded on various optical, electrical and magnetic recording media such as CD-ROM, floppy disk, flash memory, hard disk, magnetic tape, and can be read and executed by a computer as necessary.
The present invention has been described above with reference to specific embodiments of the present invention, but this is only illustrative and does not limit the scope of the present invention. Those skilled in the art can change or modify the described embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Each of the functional blocks or means described herein may be implemented by various well-known elements such as an electronic circuit, an integrated circuit, an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), and the like. Can be. Components such as means described as separate in the specification and claims may be simply functionally distinct and may be physically implemented as one means, and components such as means described as a single element may be It can be made in combination. In addition, each method step described herein may be changed in order without departing from the scope of the present invention, and other steps may be added. In addition, the various embodiments described herein may be implemented independently as well as each other as appropriate. Therefore, the scope of the invention should be defined by the appended claims and their equivalents, rather than by the described embodiments.
