The first hospital terminal 100a for registering a new patient and the second hospital terminal 100b for inputting a patient's medical record are separate devices in the facial recognition system 1000 according to the present embodiment However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. That is, in another embodiment of the present invention, the terminal for registering a new patient and inputting a patient's medical record may be one device.

2 is an exemplary configuration diagram of a facial recognition system 1000 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The first hospital terminal 100a is a terminal for registering patient information at the first visit of the patient, and may be provided at the reception counter.

Referring to FIG. 2, the first hospital terminal 100a includes a first input interface 110a for receiving basic information including a name of a patient, date of birth, address, contact information, etc., And a first communication module 130a for transmitting the collected authentication information to the management server 300. In addition,

The authentication information may include facial information of a patient's face, the facial information may include an image of the patient's face taken from the front of the patient, and an image of the patient's face taken while the patient is closed. have.

On the other hand, the authentication information for authenticating a patient in the present embodiment may further include additional authentication information obtained by photographing a finger of the patient. The additional authentication information may include at least one of fingerprint information of the patient, contour of the palm, vein pattern flowing in the hand, and palm information contained in the palm.

That is, the authentication information according to an embodiment of the present invention uses additional authentication information including at least one of fingerprint information, a shape of a hand, a vein pattern flowing in a hand, and palm information, as well as facial recognition through a face of a patient So that the accuracy of the authentication can be further increased.

The first communication module 130a transmits the basic information of the patient collected from the first input interface 110a and the authentication information and the additional authentication information of the patient from the first camera 120a to the management server 300 And may be stored in the management server 300.

The second hospital terminal 100b is a terminal for authenticating a patient at the time of a patient's surgery or operation, and may be located in an outpatient examination room, a laboratory, a treatment room, a photographing room, and an operation room.

The second hospital terminal 100b includes a second input interface 110b for receiving medical information including at least one of a patient's reservation, diagnosis, examination, treatment, operation, and prescription, A second camera 120b for collecting authentication information of a patient, a second communication module 130b capable of interlocking with the management server 300, and authentication information and management information of the authentication subject collected by the second camera 120b. And a first authentication unit 140 for comparing the registration face information stored in the server 300 and authenticating the patient.

In one embodiment, the second camera 120b collects facial information for photographing the face of the patient to authenticate the patient, and optionally captures the patient's finger to further collect additional authentication information for authenticating the patient can do.

The first authentication unit 140 first compares the facial information of the patient to be authenticated collected by the second camera 120b with the facial information of the patient stored in the management server 300, Of the face to be authenticated.

At this time, the first authentication unit 140 divides the facial information of the patient collected by the second camera 120b into a hierarchical structure of a scene and a shot of a video frame sequence, detects the position of the face, .

On the other hand, the first authentication unit 140 uses a parallel-type cascade-type face detector, so that the front face can be inferred even from a face not facing the front face. In addition, the first authentication unit 140 may increase the face recognition performance by weighting the main feature points of the face such as the eyes, nose, and mouth.

The first authentication unit 140 authenticates the authentication subject according to the degree of similarity between the facial information of the patient to be authenticated and the facial information of the stored patient. At this time, if the degree of similarity is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, the first authentication unit 140 can determine that the patient to be authenticated is a registered patient. If the degree of similarity is less than the first threshold value and is equal to or greater than the second threshold value smaller than the first threshold value, it is determined that the authentication subject patient is the registered patient, but additional authentication is required, and further authentication is performed.

Even if the patient to be authenticated is registered, the similarity between the facial information of the patient and the facial information of the stored patient may not be very high depending on the state of the patient at the time of authentication. For example, if the patient's face is swollen through surgery or surgery, and the patient wearing glasses wears glasses off, the face information of the patient registered in advance and the face of the patient to be authenticated Although some feature points are similar to each other, some feature points are similar to each other, so that the overall similarity may be lowered. Therefore, if the similarity degree is higher than a certain level but insufficient to complete the authentication, the facial recognition system according to the present embodiment can collect additional authentication information and complete patient authentication using additional authentication information.

The first authentication unit 140 further authenticates the authentication subject patient according to the degree of similarity between the additional authentication information of the patient to be authenticated collected by the second camera 120b and the additional authentication information of the patient stored in the management server 300. [ That is, if the degree of similarity between the additional authentication information of the patient to be authenticated and the additional authentication information of the registered patient is equal to or greater than the first threshold value and the third threshold value is different from the second threshold value, It can be determined that the authentication is successful.

At this time, the additional authentication information may include at least one of a fingerprint of a patient, an outline of a hand, a vein pattern flowing in the hand, and palm information included in a palm.

Preferably, the first authentication unit 140 may extract the entire outline form of the patient's hand from the additional authentication information and the palm information included in the patient's palm to authenticate the patient. At this time, the first authentication unit 140 may filter and preprocess the additional authentication information photographed by the patient's hand, and may extract the entire contour information of the hand and the minutia data of the palm from the preprocessed additional authentication information. The entire contour feature information of the hand stored in the management server 300 and the feature point data of the palm can be matched and the user authentication can be performed through the similarity comparison. Extraction of the entire contour shape and palm information of the hand can be more suitable as an additional authentication means because it can be implemented easily compared with the algorithm for analyzing palm vein pattern and fingerprint pattern.

Even if the patient to be authenticated is registered using the above-described authentication information, even when the degree of similarity between the facial information of the patient and the facial information of the stored patient is not very high according to the state of the patient at the time of authentication, The authentication of the patient can be made even in the state without recognition.

The patient terminal 200 is a terminal possessed by a patient, and can provide various information for the patient to perform the next medical care reservation or to confirm the medical care status of the patient. The patient terminal 200 includes a third input interface 210 for receiving a selection of a patient, a third camera 220 for collecting authentication information for authenticating a patient, a third communication Module 230 and the second authentication unit 340 for comparing the authentication information of the patient to be authenticated collected by the third camera 220 with the registered face information stored in the management server 300 to authenticate the patient.

If the patient terminal 200 determines that the patient to be authenticated is the registered patient using the authentication information of the patient to be authenticated collected through the third camera 220 in the second authentication unit 340, Or to display patient schedule information including at least one of a patient's reservation status, a prescription issuance procedure, a payment procedure, an inspection procedure, a treatment procedure, and a note.

3 is a flow chart of a method of identifying a patient by a facial recognition system for patient identification in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the facial recognition system 1000 captures facial information of a patient to be authenticated by capturing a face of a patient to be authenticated (S110).

Then, the degree of similarity between the facial information of the registered patient stored in the management server 300 and the facial information of the patient to be authenticated is calculated (S120).

In the present embodiment, the facial recognition system 1000 can divide the collected facial information of the patient into a hierarchical structure of a scene and a shot, and detect the position of the face to proceed with recognition of the face.

In addition, by using the parallel cascade face detector, it is possible to infer the front face from the face not facing the front face, and weighting the main feature points of the face such as the eyes, nose, and mouth to enhance the face recognition performance .

The facial recognition system 1000 determines whether the degree of similarity between the face information of the registered patient and the face information of the patient to be authenticated is equal to or greater than the first threshold value (S130)

If the degree of similarity between the face information of the registered patient and the face information of the patient to be authenticated is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, it is determined that the patient to be authenticated is the registered patient and the authentication is successful (S140).

If the degree of similarity between the facial information of the registered patient and the face information of the patient to be authenticated is less than the first threshold value, it is determined whether the degree of similarity is equal to or greater than a second threshold value smaller than the first threshold value at step S150.

If the degree of similarity between the face information of the registered patient and the face information of the patient to be authenticated is less than the first threshold value and is less than the second threshold value, it is determined that the patient to be authenticated is not the registered patient and authentication fails (S160).

If the degree of similarity between the facial information of the registered patient and the facial information of the patient to be authenticated is less than the first threshold value and is equal to or greater than the second threshold value, it is possible that the patient to be authenticated is a registered patient,

Even if the patient to be authenticated is registered, the similarity between the facial information of the patient and the facial information of the stored patient may not be very high depending on the state of the patient at the time of authentication. For example, if the patient's face is swollen through surgery or surgery, and the patient wearing glasses wears glasses off, the face information of the patient registered in advance and the face of the patient to be authenticated Although some feature points are similar to each other, some feature points are similar to each other, so that the overall similarity may be lowered. Therefore, if the similarity degree is higher than a certain level but insufficient to complete the authentication, the facial recognition system according to the present embodiment can collect additional authentication information and complete patient authentication using additional authentication information.

At this time, the face recognition system 1000 captures the finger of the patient to be authenticated and collects additional authentication information of the patient to be authenticated (S170).

The degree of similarity between the additional authentication information of the registered patient stored in the management server 300 and the additional authentication information of the patient to be authenticated is calculated (S180).

At this time, the additional authentication information may be the shape of the whole contour of the patient's hand and the palm information included in the palm of the hand. At this time, the first authentication unit 140 may filter and preprocess the additional authentication information photographed by the patient's hand, and may extract the entire contour information of the hand and the minutia data of the palm from the preprocessed additional authentication information. The entire contour feature information of the hand stored in the management server 300 and the feature point data of the palm can be matched and the user authentication can be performed through the similarity comparison. Extraction of the entire contour shape and palm information of the hand can be more suitable as an additional authentication means because it can be implemented easily compared with the algorithm for analyzing palm vein pattern and fingerprint pattern.

Then, the facial recognition system 1000 determines whether the degree of similarity between the additional authentication information of the registered patient and the additional authentication information of the patient to be authenticated is equal to or greater than the third threshold value (S190). In this case, the third threshold value may be a value whose similarity is set differently from the first threshold value and the second threshold value.

If the degree of similarity between the facial information of the registered patient and the facial information of the patient to be authenticated is equal to or greater than the third threshold value, it is determined that the patient to be authenticated is a registered patient and authentication succeeds (S140).

On the contrary, if the degree of similarity between the facial information of the registered patient and the facial information of the patient to be authenticated is less than the third threshold value, it is determined that the patient to be authenticated is not the registered patient and authentication fails (S160).

Even if the patient to be authenticated is registered in the authentication method described above, even if the degree of similarity between the facial information of the patient and the facial information of the stored patient is not very high according to the state of the patient at the time of authentication, So that the patient can be authenticated even in the absence of recognition.
