Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a health diagnosis system using ear and paper-

     The present invention relates to a system and a method for diagnosing a health using an ear image and a blood drawing, and more particularly, to a system and method for diagnosing a health condition by comparing an image of an ear of a examinee with a blood drawing, And a health diagnosis system and method thereof.

 Generally, a doctor diagnoses an exact pathology through consultation, examination, promotion, tardiness, and stethoscope when a doctor makes a medical examination. In the above-mentioned face-to-face medical care, there is a fear of misdiagnosis due to wrong answer or pain response depending on the patient, that is, the examinee.

 The ear is an extension of the body and corresponds to the body in each part. Therefore, the ear is connected to the body and can play a role as a direct diagnostic index for systemic health in all organs and tissues.

 The human ears are characterized by anomalous signs of health, with distinctive symptoms in each part of the ear. In hematology, we focus on this point and diagnose the disease state of the associated tissue from all the changes in the ear and find out what the body needs are.

Therefore, analysis of the color and structure changes of the ears may be able to distinguish the health status of the body organs, the accumulation of accumulation of toxins from the outside, which is the final product of the metabolic process, As shown in Fig.

 A conventional technique for diagnosing hemicycle is disclosed in Japanese Patent Application No. 1020170039082. [ In the application No. 1020170039082, the web server receives the image information of the ear from the terminal, and the information providing server recognizes the pattern of the ear from the image information of the ear. Then, the information providing server compares previous ear pattern information stored in the database with the recognized ear pattern information, and the information providing server determines whether the comparison result is a disease symptom corresponding to acute.

However, in the above-described conventional techniques, it is difficult to predict an accurate disease only by analysis of the ear, and thus there is a problem that a misdiagnosis may occur.

 In detail, not all of them can be proved to be the same disease because of problems in the hemostasis of the ear. For example, pneumonia and lung disease may be thought of as the same lung problem because the symptoms are different but the same model appears in the lungs in the hemicycle. Therefore, there is a problem that the range of diagnosis can be wide.

Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem [8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an apparatus and a method for displaying an image of an ear of an examinee, The present invention also provides a health diagnosis system and method using an ear bud database that allows intuitive identification of an abnormal symptom area of an examinee. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method and apparatus for correcting overlapping of the ears database and the ear by precise movement using lines connecting the shapes of the left and right ears, And to provide a health diagnosis system and method using an ear database that can prevent misdiagnosis.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a health diagnosis system and a method using a blood circulation that can accurately prevent overlaps between an ear image and an ear database by enlarging or reducing the images of the left and right ears in the same size as the ear database .

It is also an object of the present invention to specify a disease of a patient through a questionnaire using a database of patients having similar ear images but having other illnesses because the information used for the ear canal is not sufficient.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a health diagnosis system and a method using a database of the ear to allow a physician's remote medical treatment to proceed by transmitting an image of an ear of the examinee and an image of an overlap of the ear database to the doctor terminal .

However, the object of the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned objects, and other objects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.

According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided an imaging apparatus including: an imaging unit for inputting a part or whole image of an examinee's ear including right and left ears;

A memory unit for storing a database of ears representing a relationship between a position of each part of the ear and a body tissue / organ; An image processing unit for extracting left and right ear regions from the image input from the image capturing unit and detecting different points such as exhaustion, papillation, discoloration, and the like in each part of the ear; A microcomputer for overlapping the image of the ear processed in the image processor with the database of the ear stored in the memory; A database of documentaries that document the symptoms of people who have similar images but have other illnesses; And a medical diagnosis system using an image of the ear and a paperweight.

According to a further feature of the present invention, there is further provided a communication unit for transmitting a video image in which an image of an ear of the examinee and an ear database overlap with each other according to a control signal of the microcomputer, .

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for acquiring an image of an examinee's ear, And a second step of overlapping and displaying an ear's database showing a relationship between a position of the ear part and a body tissue / organ, with the image of the ear of the examinee acquired in the first step; The third step is to shape the disease by asking the symptoms of people who are similar in image but who have other diseases; And a medical diagnosis method using an interviewer.

The health blood diagnostic system and method of the present invention as described above can overlap the image of the ear of the examinee and the database of the ear to intuitively identify the abnormal symptom area of the examinee, And general users without knowledge have an effect of enabling self diagnosis.

In addition to providing an answer with only the image of the ear, the self-diagnosis can be more accurately performed by specifying the ear image and the information obtained through the database through the questionnaire to the patients having similar symptoms.

Further, by adjusting the angle of the image of the ear and adjusting the size of the image of the ear, it is possible to accurately overlap the image of the ear and the database of the ear so that it is possible to prevent misdiagnosis, thereby providing an effect to the examinee.

In addition, since the telemedicine can be performed using the image of the ear of the examinee's ear and the paper clip, the restriction of time and place is lost, and the image of the ear of the examinee and the symptom of the patient appearing on the body are transmitted to the doctor There is an effect that not only a primary care physician is provided but also early detection of disease is possible and it is possible to prevent misdiagnosis which is a problem of existing telemedicine.
