The characteristic information management unit 140 generates the basic characteristic information database 131 and the activity characteristic information database 132 based on the user information registered through the user information management unit 135 under the control of the control unit 110 , New information input, registration, and update management.

For this, the characteristic information management unit 140 includes a predetermined information collection unit 141, a growth information collection unit 142, and a characteristic information collection unit 143. Each of the collecting units 141, 142, and 143 may collect, update, and manage the characteristic information based on various information received from the terminal 200 synchronized with the pet or synchronized with the owner of the pet.

To this end, although the terminal 200 is not shown in the drawing, the terminal 200 may include a user input unit and a storage unit for collecting and updating schedule information, a growth information acquisition unit for collecting growth information, And may further include a sensor unit for acquiring the sensor unit. In particular, the sensor unit may include various sensors for sensing biometric changes associated with the actual object of the pet. The sensor unit may include, for example, an image sensor for photographing the pet, a body temperature sensor for sensing the temperature of the pet, and a motion sensor for detecting the movement of the pet.

The characteristic information collection unit 143 extracts the characteristic information based on the sensing information received from the terminal 200 and updates all or a part of the basic characteristic information database 131 or the activity characteristic information database 132 Can be managed.

Meanwhile, the schedule information collection unit 141 can collect and update the life pattern information of the pet. The schedule information collection unit 141 can interoperate with the terminal 200, collect schedule information corresponding to the pets in real time, and can update the life pattern information according to the change. For example, the life pattern information may include the schedule information of the pet, and the schedule information may be changed or updated according to the schedule information received from the schedule information collection unit 141. [

The schedule information may include schedule information such as a bath, a feed, a play, an exercise to be performed by the owner of the pet or the pet at a specific time, and may be updated according to user input or over time. The schedule information collection unit 141 can receive the schedule information through the external terminal 200. [ The schedule information may be extracted from data of various external DBs 400 received in association with the pet such as an observation log.

The growth information collection unit 142 may collect and update the growth information of the pet. In reality, the body of a pet is aged and can change over time. Therefore, the time lapse based on the age and the life cycle initially inputted to the pet may proceed, and the growth information on the biomedical change or the like generated according to the lapse of time may be collected through the growth information collection unit 142 And managed.

When a biological change occurs due to growth, a change in characteristic information may also be accompanied. For example, the growth information collection unit 142 senses the growth of the pet in a predetermined period and collects or preliminarily computes a change result when a change in appearance such as hair color or wrinkles occurs, It can be reflected in appearance information and the like.

On the other hand, the basic characteristic information stored in the basic characteristic information database 131 may include identification information of the pet and characteristic information biologically possessed by the target creature corresponding to the real object of the pet. The basic characteristic information may include at least one of unique identifier information, gender information, age information, species information, lifecycle information, or appearance information of the target creature, and may include at least one of a pet character interface Can provide the underlying information.

The target organism may belong to any one species in the biological classification structure or may belong to any one of the species according to species crossing, and the species or the variety to which the target organism belongs may have biological characteristics. For example, when the target creature is a puppy, the basic characteristic information includes information on species for each breed, appearance such as skeleton, body size, hair color, hair pattern, ear shape, toe shape, and tail shape designated for each breed And may further include information. The appearance information can be generated and managed as, for example, image data, image data, or text data corresponding to the outline of the pet. In addition, the appearance information may be generated as 3D wireframe data and texture data corresponding to the outline. As described above, the appearance information can be varied according to the reflection of the growth information or the change of the characteristic information.

According to such basic characteristic information, the appearance of the pet character interface with respect to the pet, which is the main body of communication contents, can be generated, processed and modified.

On the other hand, the activity characteristic information stored in the activity characteristic information database 132 may include characteristic information associated with the activity of the pet, in association with the pet registered in the basic characteristic database 131. [ The activity characteristic information may include, for example, life pattern information, behavior characteristic information, personality characteristic information, health status information, failure status information, and a dialog DB.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, activity characteristic information may be used to generate a pet character interface and a chat message that are central to the communication content.

The activity characteristic information may include behavior characteristic information. The pet may have behavioral behavior characteristics such as pre-designated behavior, sequence, obedience, compliance, response to external stimuli according to the species, which can be converted into behavioral characteristics and stored and managed. By the behavior characteristic information, communication contents indicating the specific behavior of the pet can be generated.

More specifically, the behavioral characteristics can indicate characteristics of the pets of the real world, such as what kind of personality they have and what kind of behavior they are mainly doing.

 In order to input such behavior characteristic information, the characteristic information management unit 140 may receive the pet journal data including the behavior characteristic information periodically from the user terminal 200 at least once in a predetermined period. The user can access the social network or the messenger service and create a pet journal once or more periodically or within a predetermined period to transmit the pet journal data to the characteristic information management unit 140. [

The characteristic information management unit 140 extracts the keywords of the used words from the pet journal data and performs data mining to derive the behavior characteristics of the real world pets and store them in the activity characteristic information database.

 In addition, the characteristic information management unit 140 can use the previously stored basic characteristic information and the medical information to derive the behavior characteristic of the pet through keyword extraction and data mining.

 For example, the characteristic information management unit 140 interprets, as keywords, affinity and obedience for a keyword of a specific keyword extracted from the pet journal data (e.g., 'pay' tail '), Behavior characteristic information can be derived. In the case of the paper "cat", behavior characteristic information can be derived by interpreting it as an expression of anxiety and hostility.

And, the registered behavior characteristic information can be converted and stored into certain parameters outputable through the social network service. For example, a conversion default value of a parameter corresponding to affinity / obedience can be set according to biological characteristics (for example, species, breed, etc.) of basic characteristic information of a real world pet. Then, the characteristic information management unit 140 updates the parameter corresponding to the affinity / obedience degree according to the number of times the pet displays the friendliness / obedience display keyword or data corresponding to the user (or the owner) through the pet diary data can do. In addition, the words of the conversation message generated through the communication contents may be changed according to the setting / updating of such parameters.

The characteristic information management unit 140 may output the advertisement information corresponding to the keyword extracted from the pet journal data in providing the user with the creation interface of the pet journal data for inputting the behavior characteristic information. Accordingly, it is possible to expose the target advertisement information related to the behavior characteristics of the pet to the user through the process of creating the pet day.

For example, when the user inputs the keyword 'rice', the characteristic information management unit 140 may index the corresponding animal feed advertisement information and output it through the pet journal data creation interface. In addition, when the keyword 'hurt' is input, the characteristic information management unit 140 may index animal hospital advertisement information corresponding thereto and output it through the pet log data creation interface.

In addition, the personality of the pet can be set to at least one inclination, and can be converted and stored into personality characteristic information. The frequency of occurrence of the communication contents or the tendency of the conversation message indicating the behavior of the pet can be determined by the personality characteristic information. Therefore, different communication contents can be generated also for the behavior of the same pet. For example, personality trait information may include information of a variety of characteristics such as brave, timid, lonely, brave, spoiled, blatant, cheerful, innocent, gentle, shy, rash, calm, gentle, sincere, And may include at least one.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the personality characteristic information may include behavior characteristic information of the target creature by modifying behavioral common characteristic information of a species (or a breed) belonging to the target creature, A personality determination matrix may be provided. The characteristic information management unit 140 may determine personality characteristic information by substituting one or more pieces of behavior keyword information extracted from the collected journal information for a predetermined period into the personality determination matrix and quantifying and scoring the same. For example, the personality discrimination matrix may be assigned an affirmative +3 point in the keyword "Mundo" and a "positive + 2 points and a dignity +1" in the keyword "do" "Negative +3" and "Mindfulness +3" are given to the keyword, "Negative" and "Dependency +1" are given to the keyword "Mind" and "Negative" And the characteristic information management unit 140 may be configured to assign a negative value of +3 and a dependence value of +2 to the keyword of "see ", and the characteristic information management unit 140 may generate a behavior keyword Each time the information is extracted, the score set in the personality discrimination matrix of the person's characteristic information of the pet can be scored so as to determine in which direction the personality characteristic of the pet is separated from the aggressiveness, the passiveness, the longevity and the dependency. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various personality items may be included in the personality determination matrix to form a matrix, and that the present invention includes all the modifications.

In addition, when the behavior characteristic information is determined, the communication content generation unit 195 can generate communication contents indicating behavior and intention based on the personality characteristic information. For example, when the pet is a puppy, if it is determined that the personality characteristic information is shifted by more than a reference score by "negative" and "dependency", the communication content generation unit 195 periodically displays the fear to the user, It is possible to generate communication contents sensitive to information input. In addition, the communication content generation unit 195 may generate communication content that relies on the user or indicates a representation waiting for the user's instruction.

On the other hand, the life pattern information may include schedule information to be performed on a predetermined time basis in association with the activity of the pet. For example, according to the life pattern information, a schedule performed by a pet at a specific time can be confirmed, and communication contents requesting the schedule can be generated and transmitted to the owner. The life pattern information may include event time information, and predetermined event information such as food (feed), bath, cleaning, play, etc. corresponding to each event time information.

As described above, the life pattern information can be interlocked with the external scheduling information collected by the schedule information collection unit 141 in real time. The schedule information collection unit 141 can confirm completion of the event information through communication with the owner or the terminal 200 of the pet.

For example, if the communication service providing apparatus 100 transmits the communication contents requesting the pet to the owner's terminal 200 but the completion of the feed event is not confirmed for a predetermined period of time, Can generate communication contents requesting the feed again and transmit the communication contents to the owner terminal 200 again.

The health status information can store and manage information on the health status of the pet. Health status can refer to transient biomarker changes at the time of measurement. In order to manage the health status information, the medical information management unit 170 may store the health status information received from the external DB 400 of the medical institution or the like in the activity characteristic information database 132. [ The health condition information may include, for example, disease information of a pet, body temperature information, injury information, and the like according to a diagnosis result in a hospital. Communication content can reflect changes in health status of such pets. For example, when it is determined that the pet is caught in a cold, the communication service providing apparatus 100 may generate communication contents for periodically sneezing and may be transmitted to the terminal 200. Further, for example, if the pet is pregnant, the communication service providing apparatus 100 can transform the appearance of the pet character interface of the communication contents into an external appearance that doubles up.

Such medical information may include characteristic information about various kinds of vaccinations and treatments of pets in the real world. The medical information may be registered at least once during the membership process through the user information management unit 135 and may be linked to the separate external DB 400 such as a veterinary hospital through the medical information management unit 170. [ In addition, the medical information may be periodically updated at least once by the user terminal 200 or the external DB 400 of the veterinary hospital.

For example, the user can perform membership registration or information modification through the interface provided from the user information management unit 135, and can register the medical information. Then, the user can register the veterinary hospital identification information mainly used by his pet in the medical information. According to the animal hospital identification information thus registered, the animal hospital information distributed in each region can be confirmed through the external DB 400 and linked with the information of the user pet.

The user information management unit 135 or the medical information management unit 170 may perform different registration processes depending on whether the animal hospital identification information is affiliated or not. For example, if the animal hospital registered by the user is an affiliated animal hospital, the medical information of the pet is automatically registered in association with the animal hospital DB 400 every time the pet is treated or registered through the terminal of the animal hospital . On the other hand, if the veterinary hospital is a non-affiliated veterinary hospital, the medical information of the pet may be processed to be registered through the user information management unit 135 whenever the user directly heals. In addition, the medical information of the registered pet can be changed to a predetermined parameter so as to be implemented through the SNS, and stored and managed through the medical information management unit 170. [

This can lead the user to use an associated veterinary hospital for convenient updating of medical information. Accordingly, as the pet-centered SNS is activated, the number of associated animal hospitals can be increased and advertisement related to animal hospitals can be facilitated.

In addition, the fault status information can store and manage information on the fault status of the pet. A disorder condition can mean a permanent biomechanical change. The communication service providing apparatus 100 may reflect the fault condition to the pet character interface appearance of the communication contents.

The conversation DB may include a conversation information table for allowing the communication contents to express emotion or intention directly. For example, the conversation information table may include a variety of pet species, sex, age, personality characteristics, context-based emotion keywords corresponding to behavior characteristics, and pseudo keywords and sentence structures. In particular, the conversation information table may include a simplified sentence structure and keywords that can be expressed in terms of an animal so that the pet can generate a conversation message that is a subject.

In addition, the conversation DB can be managed by the conversation information management unit 190. [ The conversation information management unit 190 may generate a conversation message based on the conversation DB in response to a request from the communication content generation unit 195. [ Then, the conversation information management unit 190 stores the newly collected conversation message in the conversation DB, and controls the addition or update of the new keyword in the conversation information table by performing the learning.

The conversation information management unit 190 can relay the generation of a chat channel and transmission / reception of conversation messages between the pet or the owner, which is generated in response to transmission / reception of communication contents. The conversation information management unit 190 may generate a conversation channel for one or a plurality of users, store the conversation messages received from each user's terminal 200 in a temporary or dialog DB, As shown in FIG.

In relaying the conversation message, the conversation information management unit 190 may provide a conversation participation function that enables the owner to communicate via the pet terminal 200 instead. Accordingly, the communication contents can be generated in a form that combines the pet character interface according to the basic characteristic information and activity characteristic information of the pet and the conversation message input by the owner. For example, the communication contents can be generated in a form in which a pet character interface such as an avatar of a pet expresses a conversation message input by the owner.

In addition, the conversation information management unit 190 can conditionally perform the conversation function according to the characteristic information of the pet. For example, the characteristic information of the pet may include a breed characteristic, a personality characteristic, an experience level, and the like. The conversation information management unit 190 may have the same kind, similarity, or similar experience level It is possible to create a talk channel and to relay the conversation message.

Meanwhile, the relationship information management unit 180 may manage the relationship information between user information according to a request received from the terminal 200. [ The relationship information management unit 180 may generate relationship information between user information, and may generate different relationship information according to the degree of relationship. For example, the relationship information may be designated as a relationship of any one of a friend relationship, a pet-owner relationship, and an interest relationship, depending on the degree of relationship.

For example, the relationship information management unit 180 can set the two users as a pet-owner relation based on the pet information and the owner information, which are identified by the user information management unit 135. [

The relationship information management unit 180 may receive the friend request message received from the terminal 200 of the first user pet and may forward the friend request message to the terminal 200 of the second user pet, ), The two users can be set as friends.
