It should be noted that, in adding reference numerals to the constituent elements of the drawings, the same constituent elements are denoted by the same reference symbols as possible even if they are shown in different drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear.

In describing the components of the present invention, terms such as first, second, A, B, (a), and (b) may be used. These terms are intended to distinguish the constituent elements from other constituent elements, and the terms do not limit the nature, order or order of the constituent elements. When a component is described as being "connected", "coupled", or "connected" to another component, the component may be directly connected to or connected to the other component, It should be understood that an element may be "connected," "coupled," or "connected."

As shown in these figures, the pet health care system 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a sensor unit 101 that is worn on a pet and measures a bio-signal of the pet, A wearable terminal (105) including a communication module (103) for sending measured data (MD) measured by the measuring device (101); A server 107 which receives measurement data MD from the wearable terminal 105 and compares the measurement data MD with the previously inputted reference data SD to generate result data RD; And an administrator terminal 111 for receiving the result data RD from the server 107 and displaying the result data RD on the display unit 109. [

The wearable terminal 105 is provided to be worn on a pet. The wearable terminal 105 includes a sensor unit 101 for measuring a bio-signal of a pet, measurement data MD measured by the sensor unit 101, And a communication module unit 103 for sending out the data.

Here, the sensor unit 101 includes at least one of an acceleration sensor, an electrocardiogram sensor, an oxygen saturation sensor, a body temperature sensor, and a breath sensor, for example.

An acceleration sensor is a device that detects a change in speed per unit time. The acceleration sensor measures the dynamic force such as acceleration, vibration, and impact of an object by processing an output signal. The acceleration sensor is roughly classified into an inertia type, , Silicon semiconductor type.

The electrocardiogram sensor is a sensor that measures the electrocardiogram (ECG), which is a record of the myocardial activity current obtained by recording the current generated from the myocardium according to the heartbeat to the appropriate two points on the body surface and recording it with an ammeter .

Oxygen saturation sensor is a sensor that measures the oxygen saturation of arterial blood using the property that the amount of light sensed by the optical sensor depends on the sensible fraction between the unsaturated hemoglobin and the saturated hemoglobin due to the expansion and contraction of the pulsatile artery .

Respiration sensors are sensors that measure mechanical movements of the chest wall or abdominal wall using pressure or displacement sensors.

The communication module unit 103 is provided to transmit measurement data MD measured by the sensor unit 101 to an external device.

The communication module unit 103 may include a wireless communication module or a wired communication module including a Bluetooth communication module, an NFC (Near Field Communication) communication module, and the like.

The server 107 receives the measurement data MD from the wearable terminal 105. The server 107 compares the measurement data MD0 with the previously inputted reference data SD and generates the result data RD do.

For example, when the above-described sensor unit 101 includes an electrocardiogram sensor, a body temperature sensor, and a breathing sensor, the server 107 stores the electrocardiogram measurement data transmitted and measured by the electrocardiogram sensor, Body temperature data and respiration measurement data transmitted and measured by the respiration sensor to the corresponding reference data SD to generate result data RD and the result data RD is stored in a predetermined stabilization step, And transmits the warning signal to the administrator terminal 111, which will be described later, when the result data RD belongs to the care stage or the emergency stage.

Here, the administrator terminal 111 having received the warning signal can inform the administrator of the attention or emergency of the pet through the operation of light, sound, vibration, and the like.

Meanwhile, the administrator can monitor the heart disease of the pet in real time and take appropriate measures promptly in the event of an emergency through the above-mentioned warning signal transmission process, so that the survival rate of the pet can be increased.

In addition, the server 107 described above can be linked with the system of the veterinary hospital, and the resultant data RD generated by the server 107 can be linked with the electronic chart of the veterinary hospital system.

Then, the administrator terminal 111 receives the result data RD from the server 107, and displays the result data RD on the display unit 109.

Here, the administrator terminal 111 may be a terminal of a pet owner or a terminal of a veterinarian of a veterinary hospital.

Of course, the administrator terminal 111 has the communication module 113 so as to receive the result data RD from the server 107.

A method of comparing the electrocardiogram measurement data and the reference data SD measured and transmitted by the electrocardiogram sensor with the server 107 (see FIG. 3) will be described. The measured waveform and the reference waveform are compared with each other, Comparing the waveforms of pre-entered morbidity and physiological conditions with the measured waveforms, comparing the waveforms of the photoplethysmogram (PPG) data with the waveforms of the electrocardiogram based on the electrocardiogram measurement data, comparing peaks of the electrocardiogram measurement data ) Is greater than or equal to the reference point, and the size of the P wave is compared with the size pattern of the QRS complex to determine whether it is a P wave, whether or not the separated P wave follows the QRS wave constantly, , Determining whether the P wave forms a constant shape, determining whether there are changed signals between the P wave and the QRS wave, and determining whether the patterns of the QRS waveform are similar to the waveform presented by the reference.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a wearable terminal, a server, and an administrator terminal, which are worn on a pet, are interlocked with each other, and a bio-signal of a pet is detected in a wearable terminal, Health and disease management can be made more efficient.
