In the following detailed description, only the main functional units of the system are described, and other functional units for transmission and processing can be easily utilized by the use of ordinary computer means having storage, operation, processing, interfaces, communication means and programs. Its description is omitted as it may be implemented.

(Example)

1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating a schematic configuration of a system for providing a health care service using a character according to an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the health care system of the present invention is implemented as a user terminal 200 and a health information providing server 100 connected to a wired or wireless network.

Here, the health information providing server 100 registers and manages a virtual character of the user, and provides a health care service (avatar service) using the character according to the present invention to the user terminal 200 using a wired or wireless network. do.

In order to provide the health care service as described above, the health information providing server 100, a user selects a character from among a plurality of character images according to their preferences, or the user selects / combines an image of each part of the body Character generation unit 110 for generating a character of the user desired criteria is provided.

In addition, the character generation unit 110 generates a character image (reference character RC image) reflecting a desired health state, for example, a body state, according to a user selection through communication with the user terminal 200. In addition, it generates a current character image CC reflecting the current state of health of the user, for example the current body shape.

Here, the character image may be a 3D character (avatar) produced based on 3D human body modeling.

In addition, the character image, as shown in Figure 8, based on the 3D human body modeling, a plurality of pieces of 3D image data for each part of the human body, such as the human head, chest, arms, waist, hips, legs, etc. For example, 40 or more) may be modeled and produced and stored in DB1, and 3D image data for each selected part may be combined according to a user's selection to produce a character image reflecting the physical condition.

In addition, the character is caused to change as the user's calorie intake and consumption information (exercise or food intake) is automatically or manually entered.

2 is a flowchart illustrating a process of generating a virtual character of a reference according to the present invention, a process of generating a current virtual character, and a process of updating a current virtual character. First, the virtual character RC image generation based on a user's desired criteria by the character generator 110 is performed according to process (a) of FIG. 2.

First, for generating the virtual character of the reference, the character generation information list L1 in which the user inputs is described is transmitted from the health information providing server 110 to the user terminal (step 21a). The character generation information list L1 is matched with the associated plurality of character images and stored in the database DB1 of the server 100 in advance.

Upon receiving the character life information list L1, the user terminal 200 selects a list to generate a desired character image and transmits the list to the providing server 100 (step 22a). The selection of such a list is performed by the interface means provided in the user terminal 110 which is a normal communication terminal.

Subsequently, the character generator 110 generates a reference character RC reflecting a health state desired by the user based on the information transmitted from the terminal and stores the reference character RC in the user information database DB1 (step 23a).

Here, in the character generation information list L1 transmitted from the health information providing server 100 to the user terminal, input items relating to a body shape desired by the user (for example, height, weight, chest size, waist size, body parts) Reference personal information fields, such as body fat information). Accordingly, as the user selects the list, the character generator 110 of the providing server 100 may generate the virtual character RC image of the user's desired standard and store it in the DB1.

On the other hand, the reference character RC image, for example, can be produced utilizing the body information of the celebrity envy, such as entertainers or athletes.

Specifically, after collecting the body type information (for example, height, weight, chest size, waist size, body fat information of each part) of famous entertainers, a reference character image is generated and stored in DB1. Selecting a favorite celebrity name from the list L1, it is possible to create a virtual character RC of the corresponding criteria.

As an example, when the user selects the female celebrity "Kim00" as his height value "160cm" and the preferred celebrity, the providing server may select the body type information of the entertainer "Kim00" stored in the DB1 to generate a character. On the other hand, in consideration of the height of the user, the character information of the entertainer is reflected in the character in proportion to (in proportion to) the height of the user, thereby generating the most character of the criterion based on the body type information of the celebrity.

On the other hand, the character generator 110 generates a current virtual character CC image according to the current body state of the user.

Here, the current virtual character CC image generation of the user by the character generator 110 is performed according to the process of FIG.

First, the character generation information list L2 for inputting information on the current state of the user for generating the current virtual character is transmitted from the health information providing server 110 to the user terminal 200 (step 21b).

Upon receiving the character generation information list L2, the user terminal 200 selects the list and transmits the current body shape information of the user to the providing server 100 (step 22b).

Next, the character generator 110 generates a current virtual character image based on the transmitted current body shape information of the user and stores it in the user information database DB1 (step 23b).

Here, the character generation information list L2 transmitted from the health information providing server 100 to the user terminal 200 is an input item (eg, height, weight, chest, etc.) regarding the current body type of the user, as in the list L1. Size, waist size, body fat information of different parts of the body, etc.).

Therefore, as the user selects and selects a list, the character generator of the providing server 100 generates a current virtual character CC image and stores it in the DB1.

On the other hand, the current virtual character CC image of the user generated by the character generator 110 is updated according to the transmission of health state information, for example, calorie generation and consumption information transmitted from the user terminal 200.

That is, as shown in FIG. 2C, first, calorie generation and consumption information (L3: calorie generation information or calorie consumption information) is transmitted from the user terminal 200 to the server 200 (step 21c). .

Subsequently, the providing server 100 receiving the calorie information L3 updates the character by calculating the calorie generation and consumption amount and reflecting the current virtual character CC image stored in the DB1. The current virtual character CC1 updated in this way is stored in the user information database DB1 (step 22c). On the other hand, the current virtual character updating step 22c is performed whenever the calorie generation and consumption information L3 is input (updated) from the user terminal.

Here, in order to update the current virtual character CC image, the user terminal 200 according to the present invention is provided with calorie information detecting means 210 for detecting calorie generation and consumption information, the providing server 100 is And a calorie calculating unit 120 for calculating the calories detected by the calorie information detecting means 210 by subtracting the calories burned, for example, from the generated calories.

Here, the calorie information detecting means 210, for example, may use a variety of sensor means provided in the user terminal 100, for example, a camera, a microphone or a location tracking device. In addition, the calorie generation and consumption information by the calorie information detecting means 210 may be transmitted to the providing server 100 manually or automatically through a network through a user's operation.

Hereinafter, the calorie generation and consumption information acquisition process by the calorie information detection means 210 will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 3.

First, FIG. 3A schematically illustrates a process of obtaining calorie (consumption) information according to an example using a location tracking device.

In the wireless communication environment (particularly, 3G mobile communication environment) of the current terminal, each region is divided into a plurality of cells as shown in FIG. As 200 is located, the communication terminal detection signal S is transmitted from the base station B of the cell to the server 10 of the communication operator. The detection signal S is generated every time the terminal 200 moves through the plurality of cells, and thus is transmitted to the server 100 via the corresponding base station and the telecommunication service provider server 10 of each cell.

Therefore, the health information providing server 100 can determine the location of the user terminal 200 by using the information from the carrier server 100, when the user terminal moves from one cell to the other cell By converting the distance traveled into calories, the user can calculate the calories burned. To this end, the calorie consumption information according to the distance between cells is stored in DB1 of the providing server 100. Therefore, by using the information stored in the DB1 and the inter-cell movement information, the user terminal can calculate the calories consumed by moving between the cells.

On the other hand, in consideration of the case where the user moves between cells by using a means of transportation, the calorie information detecting means 210 has a moving speed between the cells more than a predetermined threshold (for example, the average driving speed of a car). If it is as fast as the calorie consumption is considered to be low or low, the calorie consumption information reflecting a small amount of calorie consumption may be transmitted to the providing server or the calorie consumption information may not be transmitted.

In addition, the movement speed between cells is considered to be a normal calorie consumption state, for example, if it is less than 7 km / hour on foot, and the calorie consumption information according to distance is provided only when the terminal also moves at a speed of 7 km / hour. Can be sent to the server.

If necessary, for accurate calorie calculation, the user may be configured to select a calorie consumption mode using an application built in the terminal. For example, only when the user turns on the calorie consumption mode switch of the terminal, the calorie consumption information may be transmitted to the providing server 100 to calculate calories consumed.

Also, as shown in Fig. 3B, calorie consumption information can be obtained by using a camera and a location tracking device provided in the mobile communication terminal.

At present, various authentication methods using a camera for a mobile communication terminal have been disclosed. For example, when a terminal user transmits an image to the providing server 100 by taking a product name, a barcode, an RFID, or the like on a running machine or a running machine provided in the gym, the image is transmitted to the providing server 100 in a health club, Calorie consumption by exercise time can be seen. To this end, the calorie consumption information according to the use of various exercise equipment is matched and stored in the DB1.

In addition, during the exercise, the terminal 200 can calculate the correct calories burned using a variety of exercise equipment and applications embedded in the mobile phone in the health club. When exercising using a treadmill, it is configured to automatically measure the calories burned according to exercise speed and time by synchronizing with its own terminal (mobile phone) in a wired or wireless manner, and generate and store measurement data.

Therefore, the provision server 100 may generate calorie consumption information by using the transmitted image and exercise time information.

On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 3C, calorie generation information can be obtained using a camera and a location tracking device provided in the mobile communication terminal.

For example, when a terminal user takes a picture of a food, a bar code on a food or a menu name or a bar code on a menu table with a camera, and transmits it to the providing server 100, the calorie generation amount of the food can be known. To this end, the DB1 is stored calorie generation information according to various foods.

As shown in Fig. 3D, calorie generation information can be obtained using a microphone provided in the mobile communication terminal. For example, when a terminal user orders a food in a restaurant, and inputs a voice about the ordered food, for example, "one serving of champon" into a microphone and transmits it to the providing server 100 through a network, the food of the food You can see how many calories are produced. To this end, the DB1 is stored calorie generation information according to the various food intake.

Meanwhile, the calorie generation and consumption information detected by using the camera, the microphone, and the location tracking device are transmitted to the server 200 and settled by the calorie calculating unit 120 to calculate the calorie generation amount and the consumption amount of the user. It becomes possible. Here, the calorie calculating unit 120 calculates calories intake for a predetermined period of time, for example, hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly intake calories, and includes a calorie calculation program including a calorie-containing sheet (table) for each food type or the like. It can be configured to include.

Therefore, the calorie calculating unit 120 calculates and stores the calories intake of the user by time, daily, weekly and monthly using the calorie generation and consumption information L3 transmitted from the user terminal, and stores the calories in the database. 110 generates the updated current virtual character by reflecting the settlement information stored in the database on the current virtual character CC image. If necessary, by configuring a calorie calculating unit in the user terminal 200, the providing server 100 may transmit only calorie generation amount or calorie consumption information as calorie generation and consumption information.

Meanwhile, the calorie generation and consumption information transmission described above with reference to FIG. 3 has been described as being performed using a 3G mobile communication network. However, calorie generation and consumption information transmission using an internet network having a plurality of APs is also possible. In this case, the base station B is replaced by an AP installed in, for example, a city office, a health club, a restaurant, a hospital, and the like. In addition, since the location information of the portable terminal is transmitted from the GPS device built in the portable terminal to the providing server 100 via the AP, the mobile terminal can generate the user's movement information or exercise information using this information. do.

Here, the providing server 100 transmits a screen (or image) including both the virtual character RC of the user's desired standard and the current virtual character CC image to the terminal 200 as comparison data. The character image transmission is made at the request of the terminal 200, and according to the transmission, the virtual character RC of the reference and the current virtual character CC image updated in real time are displayed together. Thus, the user can visually recognize his current state compared to the criteria.

Here, FIG. 4 is a view showing a character (avatar) displayed on the user terminal 200. The virtual character RC based on the health state desired by the user is reflected, the (current) character CC1 image before the calorie consumption state, It represents the (current) virtual character CC2 whose previous character has been updated through the user's calorie consumption.

On the other hand, when displayed on the user terminal 200, the virtual character RC of the reference and the current character CC1 are displayed together, or after the elapsed time, the virtual character RC of the reference and the updated current character CC2 are displayed together, The virtual character RC of the reference and the updated current character CCn are displayed together.

To this end, the character generating unit 110 generates a display screen including the comparison virtual character RC and the current virtual character CC image so as to easily compare as the comparison data and stores in the DB1, the request of the user terminal or If necessary, transmit to the user terminal.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the characters CC1 to CC2 that change with respect to the reference character RC can express their current state as voice or text to the user according to the user's exercise amount. Furthermore, the character may indicate his or her current state through facial expression or color change.

To this end, the character generator 110 has a function of displaying a character's body shape by adding a character, voice, or color to the character to the current virtual character CC. In addition, the DB1 stores information such as text, voice, color, etc., in which the character expresses its current state, and matches the plurality of current characters.

Meanwhile, the server 100 may overcome a difference between the virtual character RC of the reference and the current virtual character CC image, that is, the user may match the virtual character RC of the reference with the current virtual character CC image. It further comprises a practice data generation unit 130 that provides a calorie consumption method that can be performed.

The practice data generated by the practice data generation unit 130 may be expressed in the form of character data, for example. In order to match the reference character RC from the current virtual character CC, the weight to be lost by the user (kg) And a calorie value obtained by converting the weight into calories (kcal), and data indicating a method for consuming the weight and calories by text or voice. In addition, the practice data may include a customized diet program for each day, hour, hour, exercise, and time.
