In addition, various help-related information such as restaurants, laundry, and beauty salons near the residence can be input using a similar method. This case is specifically described as follows.

When a user makes a call to a restaurant such as a Chinese restaurant or a chicken house or places an order using the home server 10, the restaurant inputs an order record to the management server 50 connected to the Internet, and the management server 50 This is transmitted to the home server 10 through the Internet 40 to store the restaurant order record.

These orders record in the future, when the user orders food through the user terminal to reflect the user's preferences based on the user's restaurant order record to help the user to conveniently order by menu service and voice give.

If the home server 10 is connected to an image reproducing apparatus such as a monitor of a TV or a computer, information about a restaurant including a restaurant order record is provided through a screen when ordering food.

Accordingly, the restaurant can provide a coupon service based on the user's restaurant order record, and can be used as a form of CRM because the user can promote the new menu of the restaurant when ordering food. In addition, the user can conveniently order using a life care system without having to remember information about a restaurant, and has a merit of receiving a discount service according to his order record.

The context confirmation content (ie, question data) is used to determine a user's behavior and intention through a process of analyzing situation awareness and behavior pattern, and then confirm the situation.

More specifically, if the user's sleep is suddenly lowered when the illuminance value of the illuminance sensor is not detected while the user falls asleep, the user perceives that he is going to bed and streams the following status check content: Through the speaker. "Would you like to sleep? I'll keep you by your side so you can sleep comfortably. If you don't think you can sleep, please press the lower left button."

After such voice broadcasting, the user waits for input and starts the security service according to the user's input or automatically starts the security service after a certain time.

In this way, by checking the user's intention by broadcasting the status check content, the quality of service can be improved by reducing the system error and allowing the user to feel the care.

The service contents include various contents such as internet broadcasting, music, e-books, news, movies, games for promoting brain activity, community broadcasting, etc. and provide them to users through a multimedia streaming service using the Internet.

Information about the service, such as the service time of the service content provided to the user, the content of the service, and the total service time, is statistically processed and used to analyze the user's preference for the service. These service preferences are reflected in the service menu, so that the service frequently used by the user first appears in the service menu, so that the user can conveniently select the service.

The types of life care services that can be provided by the present invention include various reminder services such as medication time, security services, health and emergency monitoring services, various multimedia entertainment services such as music broadcasting, and various life related helper services such as food orders. have.

In other words, the user's intention is determined through the process of analyzing the behavior pattern based on statistical data on the past behavior pattern, whether the situation is using various sensors, and the service menu prepared in advance or service contents prepared in advance, and the status confirmation content. Or, by broadcasting the alert contents in the form of voice or voice / video to help the user select a service and express the user's intention through a very simple user terminal that the user can use easily Use a service delivery method that makes the service available.

Describe in more detail the life care services provided through the life care system.

1. Multimedia streaming service

The multimedia streaming service provided to the user may include music, news, e-books, internet broadcasting, and the like, and the multimedia streaming service stores and provides content in the home server 10 itself, or the Internet to which the home server 10 is connected. Through 40, the user accesses the site providing the content and provides it to the user.

When the user's movement is detected at the time of enjoying the multimedia, the home server 10 outputs a service menu prepared in advance through the speaker and asks the user to receive the service.

In this case, the order of the service menu depends on the service preference of the user's time zone. For example, a user who listens to music frequently during the afternoon will be the first to ask if they want to listen to music.

When the user hears the service menu through the speaker and wants to receive the corresponding service, the user presses the corresponding button of the user terminal 30 according to the voice command through the speaker, or the acceleration detection unit or the microphone is attached to the user terminal 30. The user transmits the intention of the user to the home server 10 by the movement or voice of the user.

If the user does not want to receive the service, the user's intention is transmitted to the home server 10 using the corresponding button of the user terminal 30, the acceleration sensor, and the microphone according to the voice instruction.

Next voice service menu proceeds according to the user's answer. If the user no longer wants the service, the user can terminate the service by pressing the end button.

The service menu provided to the user analyzes the behavioral patterns of the users every day, so that the streaming service menu is provided in order of the service most preferred by the user at the time, so that the user can conveniently receive the service.

When the user wants to listen to music, the music menu is prepared in advance by the home server 10 based on the service preference of the user and outputs through the speaker. The music menu is updated periodically according to the service preference of the user, and the same music menu is broadcast to the user in the same period.

2. Notifier Service

The PIR sensor of the sensor unit 20 and the microphone of the home server 10 transmit the detected data to the home server 10 through a wireless sensor network installed in the home when a user's movement is detected.

The home server 10 determines whether the user is moving by fusing the input sensing data with data of the illumination sensor and the IR sensor provided in the home server 10.

The light sensor detects a change in illuminance that changes when the user wakes up in the morning and lights up, or detects a change in illuminance that changes when the user turns off the light at night.

Since the IR sensor detects infrared rays generated when the TV is operated by the remote control, the IR sensor can be used to monitor the user's movement as they watch the TV.

When the sensing data of the various sensors are fused, it is possible to determine the situation of the user.

The home server 10 recognizes the situation based on the data of the sensors, and indicates that the user wakes up in the morning from statistical data of the user's past behavior pattern corresponding to the recognized situation and the time at which the situation was recognized and the time zone in which the situation occurred. Infer.

The home server 10 selects the reminder content related to the morning weather situation and broadcasts it to the user through streaming. An example of reminder content is "Hello, how are you?"

On the other hand, when the home server 10 recognizes the user's morning weather, the user can automatically terminate the security service is set at bedtime.

In addition to the morning reminder service, if a visiting worker or family, relatives or hospitals that care for the user enters the medication time on the management server 50, the home server (10) connected to the management server 50 through the Internet (40) The drug delivery time is transmitted to the home server 10, and the home server 10 automatically provides a reminder service to the user in accordance with the medicine taking time.

In addition, when the information about the birthday or anniversary is entered into the home server 10, a notification service is provided.

Another reminder service may be provided by cooperation with a store used by a user.

In the case of a user possessing a car, when the car center exchanges enzymatic oil or tires, the car center transmits the exchange record to the home server 10 through the management server 50 so that the home server 10 receives the user's car. It automatically informs the user of the replacement time of parts such as engine oil and tires by enabling automatic use of the subsidiary.

In this process, it is possible to induce the voluntary participation of the car center because the car center can induce the user to frequently use the car center in a way that gives the mileage benefit to the user.

On the other hand, the home server 10 also has the advantage of avoiding the hassle of the management of the passenger car because it automatically replaces the management of their own car.

3. Emergency Monitoring Service

The home server 10 recognizes the user's situation by fusion of the PIR sensor, the microphone sensor, the light sensor, the IR sensor, and the sensing data of the acceleration sensor 33 provided in the user terminal 30 of the sensor unit 20. do.

The home server 10 connects the sensing data by the sensors and the behavior pattern of the user when the special situation is not recognized and stores the behavior pattern as statistical data.

The home server 10 determines that the user is in an emergency situation and checks the situation in order to check if the user is in an emergency and if the motion is not detected by the sensor unit 20 for a predetermined time despite being in a normal time zone. Select the question data and output it to the user through the streaming block.

On the other hand, if it is determined that the user is in an emergency situation through a plurality of sensors of the sensor unit 20 additionally check whether the user is in an emergency situation by processing an image obtained by operating a camera connected to the home server 10. do.

In this case, the camera is used not only for monitoring the user but for checking the user's condition additionally. This is to maximize the privacy of the user.

Here is an example of the status check content related to the emergency monitoring service, "Where do you feel uncomfortable? If I am uncomfortable, can I contact the hospital? If you want to contact, please press the middle button of the user terminal. Please press! " Etc.

If there is a response from the user, immediately contact the hospital or emergency center to take appropriate measures. Otherwise, repeat the same status confirmation message several times. If there is no response, the Internet phone function of the home server 10, SMS text message Use the transmission function and the message transmission function to contact a hospital or emergency center so that appropriate action can be taken.

In this way, if the situation using the sensor and the status check content broadcast is used, not only can you take a quick action, but also has an advantage of drastically reducing the emergency determination error through the process of checking the user.

When the user does not suddenly fall into an emergency such as confusion, that is, when the user is conscious, he or she presses an emergency button on the user's terminal or calls a hospital to receive an action.

4. Security service

The start of the security service is a situation where the home server 10 is going to sleep when the detection of the movement by the PIR sensor of the sensor unit 20 is reduced and the light is turned off by the illumination sensor and no sound is input through the microphone. To judge.

The home server 10 infers the user's intention and behavior by combining the user's past behavior pattern statistical data and the time at which the situation occurred.

The home server 10 selects a service menu to be delivered to the user according to the inferred situation. In this case, the user may enter the security service from now on. A service menu called Streaming delivers the voice through the speaker.

After the user listens to the service menu delivered by voice, the user transmits his intention to the home server 10 through the user terminal to start the service.

When the service is started, the security service is started using a PIR sensor, a door sensor and a microphone of the sensor unit 20.

The sensor that detects the intrusion during the security service delivers data to the home server 10, and the home server 10 determines the intrusion situation by analyzing the situation and behavior.

It delivers the intrusion situation to the user through the context confirmation content corresponding to the intrusion situation.

The status check content corresponding to the intrusion is a message and warning sound "Intrusion occurrence! Intrusion occurrence! Intrusion occurrence!" Is repeated. The message and the alert sound are repeated until the user releases it through the user terminal 30.

If the user does not stop the message and alert sound using the user terminal 30 within a certain time, the home server 10 automatically uses an Internet call, SMS text transmission or message transmission to a pre-set police station, family, relatives, etc. The intrusion occurred in the user's home.

By using such context check contents, the user is informed that an intrusion has occurred, and the intruder has the effect of leaving himself through a warning.

In addition, even if the message and the warning sound cannot be stopped through the user terminal due to the threat of an intruder, the home server 10 automatically notifies the intrusion situation after a certain time, so that it is possible to appropriately deal with the situation. In addition, there is an advantage that can reduce the false alarm caused by the malfunction of the system.

Like the start of the security service, the release of the security service is performed through processes such as whether the situation is detected by the sensor input, behavior pattern statistical data, behavior pattern analysis, and situation check.
