[0001] APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INPUT AND READING CHILD INFORMATION [0002]

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for inputting development status of a child by using an application of a smartphone, and also for selectively inputting and browsing a child development situation through an application stored in a smartphone of another person, Inputting and viewing apparatuses and methods.

Pre-school childhood is an important time to lay the foundations for healthy adult development through harmonious development of mind and body under the absolute protection of adults.

During this period, the growth and development of the brain and development of various sensory functions, including rapid development of the period includes the development of problems and potential risks early detection and intervention can be the most effective.

Children's health and developmental outcomes depend on the extent of the family's ability to care for the child, but unfortunately many families experience lack of knowledge about parenting skills, inadequate support systems, or lack of professional support for child care.

In recent years, Korea is experiencing rapid changes in population structure, such as low fertility and aging in the world, and rapid changes in family structure and function due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, widening gap between rich and poor.

In this process of social change, the child protection and nurturing functions of the family are getting weaker and the children are not enjoying the rights they deserve.

The fertility rate has been reduced to the lowest level in the world, and the importance of child health care is further emphasized due to the aging of the baby due to the extension of the marriage age, the increase in the delivery of premature babies and the generalization of the couple.

Developed countries have been making efforts to improve the quality of children's health by providing maternity and preschool children's health services early on with the awareness that they are health investments, and have achieved their desired results.

The number of preschool children aged 0-5 in Korea is 2,644,000 as of November 2010, accounting for 5.51% of the total population (Statistics Korea, 2011). The number of children aged 0-5 who are using childcare centers is 1,477,151 as of December 2013 (Ministry of Health and Welfare, 2014), and more than half of the preschoolers use childcare centers, so childcare and health information Is also required.

Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the linkage between home and social caregiver (child care home) through the function of recording and sharing information about health and development of preschool children.

To this end, solutions are needed to share information and provide useful information to families, professionals, and institutions so that families and societies can cooperate to support the optimal development of children and grow into healthy adults.

In the conventional method of sharing and providing such information, the examination is carried out by a medical person such as a visiting nurse or a medical examination institution of an infant & child industrial complex. However, the result of such examination is different from that of a nursing home or kindergarten It is difficult to cope with the health and development situation of the child because it is not shared.

In addition, 'My Doctor', which is one of the applications of smart phone, is equipped with GPS based on national hospital search, medical encyclopedia, and 30 kinds of self-diagnosis functions. However, these applications can not directly input the development status of a child, In addition, there is a problem that it is difficult to appropriately cope with the health and development situation of the child because it is impossible to share information with the teachers such as the medical person or the nursery school (kindergarten) who want to know the health and development status of the child.

For example, when a child has a health problem at a day care center (a kindergarten), the teacher may contact the caregiver directly to find out the child's health status (such as vision abnormality, hearing loss, allergy, spinal condition, chest pain, However, if contact with the guardian is not made in an urgent situation, there is a problem that proper measures can not be taken by performing emergency treatment without accurately grasping the health condition of the child.

In addition, even in the developmental situation of the child, for example, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, autistic disorder, etc., the teacher should grasp the development situation of the correct child and take appropriate measures, but the information is not shared There is also a problem that proper measures can not be taken.

In addition, although a technology for periodically updating and providing vaccination information based on the date of birth of a child to a subscriber using the Internet and a portable terminal has been disclosed in Patent Document 10-2004-0083148, The present invention still has the above problems because it can not share the health condition and development situation of the infant as a method of providing information to the portable terminal.

In order to solve such conventional problems, the present invention has been made to solve the problems of the prior art by using a mobile application having the development of the preschool child and the health record and the screening function of the health problem to be detected early in childhood, And to provide an apparatus and method for inputting and viewing child health and development status information using an application that allows information to be shared within a permitted range.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for inputting and viewing child health and development status information using an application of the present invention,

A guardian terminal for inputting and storing the health and development situation of a child by an application, transmitting the same to a remote management server, and inputting and viewing the information on stored child health and development status;

A protected person terminal for inputting or viewing the health and development status of a child through an application by input and browsing rights given from the parent terminal and transmitting the inputted information to a remote management server or parent terminal;

And a management server for storing information on the health and development status of the child transmitted from the guardian terminal and the protected terminal, and providing the terminal with the authorized terminal.

Further, the method for inputting and browsing the child health and development status using the application according to the present invention,

A first step of inputting a child's health and development status through an application installed in a guardian terminal;

A second step of selectively granting authority of the protected terminal through the application of the guardian terminal when a request for input or browsing of the health and development status of the child stored in the guardian terminal is generated by the installed application;

And a third step of providing browse information according to the rights granted to the protected terminal in the guardian terminal and receiving and storing information input from the guardian terminal in the guardian terminal.

According to the present invention, it is possible to easily inquire the abnormality and progress of the growth and development of the preschool child in the home through the application, to easily check the developmental suspicion, and to detect the health and development problem early, And to take action.

In addition, it will provide children and families with pain relief and optimal development opportunities due to the early detection of preschool children 's health problems, as well as enormous medical cost savings, increased responsibility for parental care, and support for healthy families.

In addition, the municipalities that currently provide visiting nursing services can be used as a solution for efficient business execution.

In the future, it is possible to connect medical staff - day care centers (kindergartens) and institution - carers to improve communication and diversify services.

The preschool child health database accumulated through the present invention will be an important basis for establishing a child health policy.

FIG. 1 is a view showing an apparatus for inputting and viewing child health and development status information using an application of the present invention. FIG.
FIG. 2 is a view showing the structure of the case where the protector terminal is a smartphone.

The present invention thus constructed will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a child health and development status input and browsing apparatus using the application of the present invention, and includes a roadway, a guardian terminal 100, a communication network 200, a protected terminal 300, and a management server 400.

The guardian terminal 100 can be a mobile device (e.g., a smart phone) possessed by a guardian of a child, and an application is installed to implement the present invention.

The communication network 200 may be implemented by the Internet, and the protected terminal 300 may be configured by a mobile device or a desktop computer, but is preferably a mobile device with an application installed therein.

Such a protected terminal 300 may be a smart phone possessed by a medical person, a nursery school (kindergarten) teacher, or the like.

The management server 400 stores and provides information on the child health and development status inputted from the parent terminal 100 and the parent terminal 300.

2, the guardian's terminal 100 is provided with an application 110. The guardian terminal 100 displays standard growth curve data of Korean children by the installed application 110 and the date of birth and body measurements of the child inputted through the input unit 120 Height, weight, etc.) of the child and the percentage of the comparison with the peer group and the graph as shown in FIG. 4, so that the growth state of the current child can be confirmed.

Here, (a) is a graph showing the weight and height change of a child in comparison with the standard value, and (b) is a graph showing the change of the head position.

Accordingly, the guardian can visually confirm the growth state of the child through his / her parent terminal 100 and provide the protected terminal 300 and the management server 400 via the communication network 200 as needed.

Therefore, it is possible to judge the growth state according to the age (age) of the child by comparing with the standard, and the growth state of the child can be grasped at a glance because it can be viewed as a graph according to time.

Therefore, in the case of underdeveloped infants (lower 3%, lower 10%), it helps to find out the cause of growth failure and it can play an important role in maintaining lifelong health by inducing early treatment of possible treatable problems after precise diagnosis .

In addition, the guardian terminal 100 has a function of inputting and confirming the constitutional information of the child by the application 110. For example, an input and a confirmation window may be implemented as shown in Table 1.

Good More than opinion Eye Strabismus ○ ● Left esotropia Eye disease ● ○ Vision Left ○ ● Left low vision doubt Right ● ○ ear hearing ability ● ○ Ear ● ○ nose ● ○ Mouth ● ○ Skin condition ● ○ Nutritional status ● ○ Spinal condition ● ○ Chest ● ○ Breathing state ● ○ Language disorder ● ○ Mental disorder ● ○ Allergic disease ○ ● egg

Accordingly, the guardian can operate the application 120 using his / her terminal 100, and then input the constitution information for his / her child through the input window implemented as shown in Table 1, and store the information.

Accordingly, when this information is shared with the protected terminal 300 or the management server 400, the examination can be performed through a medical person, an infant and child industrial complex examination doctor, and the like. In addition, It can minimize the problem and expect the effect of medical cost reduction.

Another function of the application 120 installed in the caregiver terminal 100 is to immediately check the degree of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder according to a measure to be rated. For example, as shown in Table 2, .

Accordingly, when the guardian operates the application 120 using his / her terminal 100 and then inputs the action status of his or her child as a score through the input window implemented as shown in Table 2, Early screening is possible by expressing evaluation data on the child's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder to the caregiver.

Therefore, drug treatment can be given preferentially to the underlying cause, and in the case of a psychological cause, psychotherapy can be performed to remove the cause, so a cure can be expected.

Another function of the application 120 installed in the guardian terminal 100 is to have an autonomic early screening function. For example, an input and a confirmation window may be implemented by the application 120 as shown in Table 3.

Question Yes no 1. Does your child sit on his lap and enjoy bulging, shaking and playing? 2. Is your child interested in other friends? 3. Does your child like to climb like a stair climb? 4. Does your child like to play peek-a-boo or play hide and seek? 5. Can my child use toys cups and teas to simulate coffee or other play? 6. Has your child asked or pointed to something with your finger? 7. Has your child pointed out interest with your finger? 8. Can my child play with a toy (such as a car or a block) without putting it in his mouth, fingering or repeatedly falling down? 9. Has your child brought something to show you?

Therefore, when the guardian inputs the behavior status of his or her child through the input window implemented as shown in Table 3, the evaluation data is expressed to the guardian about whether or not the current child is suspected of autism according to the input result, It becomes possible.

Information on the health and development status of the child is stored in the guardian terminal 100 and selectively transmitted to the protected terminal 300 or the management server 400 through the communication network 200.

Protector terminal 100 is provided with the same application as that of parent terminal 300. However, in order to acquire information about the health and development status of a child from parent terminal 100, And shall be entitled to request permission to read.

To this end, the application of the protected terminal 300 displays an input window for selecting the guardian terminal 100. In the input window, the phone number of the guardian terminal 100, the information of the child, do.

Table 4 shows an example of an input window for inputting and viewing the information.

Guardian phone number Require a child's health status input ∨ Requesting the health status of the child ∨ Requirement to input the development status of the child ∨ Requirement to view the development status of the child ∨

When the protected person selects an item to be input or browsed through the input window displayed on his terminal 300, the selected information is transmitted to the guardian terminal 100.

Accordingly, when the protector terminal 100 generates the request from the protected terminal 300, the protected terminal 300 displays the authorization window as shown in Table 5. The protector confirms the phone number of the protected person, And authorizes the information input or the reading request.

Authorization Protected phone number Require a child's health status input ∨ Requesting the health status of the child ∨ Requirement to input the development status of the child ∨ Requirement to view the development status of the child ∨

Table 5 shows an example in which the protection receives the phone number of the protected terminal 300 by using the terminal 100 and gives the input and browsing rights to the health and development status of the child.

In this way, information on the health and development status of the child is shared with the protected person such as a medical person or a nursery school (kindergarten) teacher, so that it is possible to cope with the health and development situation of the child efficiently.

Information on the child stored in the guardian terminal 100 is transmitted to the management server 400 through the communication network 200 and stored therein, thereby making it possible to use the information for future child health and development conditions.

Of course, the provision of information to the management server 400 may be stored after being given the right to view the child's health and development status from the guardian terminal 100 as shown in Table 5. [
