Thereafter, the biometric information received from the plurality of wearable devices 200 through the communication unit 120 of the mobile terminal 100 may be stored in the storage unit 170 of the mobile terminal 100 (S430). 3, the storage unit 170 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be divided into a main storage unit 171 and a temporary storage unit 172, The biometric information is mainly stored in the main storage unit 171 and can be utilized when biometric information is displayed to a user through an application for healthcare installed in the mobile terminal 100. [

In some cases, the biometric information collected from the wearable device 200 may be stored in the temporary storage unit 172 of the storage unit 170. In this particular case, at least two homogeneous wearable devices are identified, This occurs when information is collected, which will be described later in more detail in Fig.

Then, the biometric information collected by the user's individual mobile terminal 100 may be transmitted to the central server 300 through the standard protocol and stored in the central server 300, And collect and manage data on biometric information of each user transmitted from the mobile terminal 100 in a centralized manner.

For example, the central server 300 may cleanse the collected data and analyze the collected data (S440) to derive the same health care group and match the customized content to the derived health care group . In addition, the central server 300 performs grouping according to health indicators based on biometric information of a user, provides personalized healthcare information according to a user, and can retransmit the feedback index.

When the user's biometric information is analyzed by the central server 300, the analyzed information may be transmitted to at least one medical institution server 400, and the at least one medical institution server 400 may transmit the analyzed biometric information Customized healthcare contents according to the healthcare contents can be generated or extracted (S450).

Here, the process of receiving the consent of the specific user may be preceded with respect to utilization of personal information such as biometric information of a specific user in the central server 300 and the medical institution server 400. [ Accordingly, it becomes possible to provide a mobile customized service based on personal medical information only to users who have agreed to use personal information (data).

In addition, the operator of the medical institution server 400 may be a hospital / medical staff, and may be provided with self-tailored contents optimized for the patient based on biometric information of each user periodically transmitted and analyzed, For example, diet content, exercise content, etc.).

For example, if the already-developed and utilized contents are stored in the medical institution server 400 and the customized content according to the analyzed user's biometric information is matched with any of the previously stored contents, the matching content is extracted Or may be configured to generate new customized content if customized content based on the biometric information of the analyzed user does not match already stored content. The newly generated content may be updated in the medical institution server 400 together with the group information.

The personalized healthcare content created or extracted by the medical institution server 400 may be delivered to the central server 300 and the central server 300 may provide the delivered customized healthcare content to the mobile terminal 100 So that the user can receive the optimal contents for himself / herself through the healthcare application installed in his / her mobile terminal 100 (for example, see the example of FIG. 7).

For reference, the mobile healthcare system 1000 can be utilized as a basic platform for healthcare O2O (online-to-online) service, so that it can be linked to customized health food delivery service, customized exercise center service, It becomes possible to expand.

FIG. 5 is an exemplary diagram illustrating storage of biometric information according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, a healthcare application for receiving the service is installed in the mobile terminal 100, and the healthcare application is configured to perform wireless communication with each of the plurality of wearable devices 200 . Hereinafter, for easy understanding of the present invention, data interworking of two kinds of wearable devices (i.e., one kind of "blood glucose meter" and one kind of "activity meter") will be described.

For example, in order to link data obtained from two types of wearable devices to a healthcare application in wireless communication, Bluetooth 4.0 will be described as an example, and such a Bluetooth device interworking scenario may be exemplified as follows.

One) Activity onCreate

A data receiver of the wearable device is created, and it is checked whether Bluetooth and BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) are supported using the Bluetooth adapter. If the Bluetooth is disabled, the link is linked to the [Settings -> Bluetooth] screen.

2) Activity onStart

Start UartService for BLE communication.

3) ServiceConnection onServiceConnected

When the UartService starts normally, it creates a wearable device resister under the name mReceiver, records the height, weight, age, sex, etc. with the SetupBasicInfo on the generated mReceiver and starts the device scan using mReceiver.

4) Scan Device

When the device scan is started, the wearable device is automatically searched. If there is no wearable device to be paired, the first wearable device is paired with the wearable device. If there is a wearable device to be paired, the data fetch process is started .

For reference, the data import process can be performed as follows.

(Access request) → (device information acquisition) → (basic information transmission) → (ACK) → (data request) → (time data reception) → (total data reception) → (connection end reception)

5) Activity Stop

Terminates the UartService.

Also, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the mobile terminal 100 is provided with a main storage unit 171 configured to communicate with the healthcare application and store the collected biometric information of the user, The identification information of the corresponding wearable device among the plurality of wearable devices 200 may be tagged in the biometric information and stored in the main storage unit 171. [

For the sake of easy understanding of the present invention, hereinafter, a wearable device for measuring " blood sugar amount " (reference: group 1) Of the wearable device to be worn on the user's body will be described.

5 shows an example of storing data on the blood sugar amount received from the wearable device for measuring the blood sugar amount and data on the momentum (repair) received from the wearable device for measuring the momentum (repair) in the main storage unit 171 do. As shown in Fig. 5, the data relating to the biometric information includes a first data section ds1 indicating a measured value, a second data section ds2 indicating identification information of the wearable device corresponding to the biometric information, And a third data section ds3 indicating the measurement time of the corresponding biometric information.

The second data section (d. 2) is "WD" (wearable device)? "Device Group"? Quot; serial number in the group ". For example, in the case of a wearable device that measures the amount of blood glucose having the device group number " 1 ", it can have the second data section ds2 of " WD- And a second data section ds2 of " WD-3-B " in the case of a wearable device for measuring the momentum (repair).

The biometric information stored in the main storage unit 171 may be provided in the form of a graph consisting of an X axis representing time and a Y axis representing a measured value as shown in the right side of FIG. 5, And can be displayed through a healthcare application installed in the terminal 100. [

Further, as described above, the biometric information such as the blood sugar amount and the momentum (repair) can be automatically collected from the corresponding wearable device in a predetermined time unit. For example, in the example of FIG. 5, the blood glucose amount is measured every 8 hours And the momentum (payoff) is exemplified as being measured at 22:00 every day. For reference, according to another embodiment of the present invention, it is also possible to implement the system 1000 to acquire biometric information from the wearable device aperiodically (e.g., when a measurement indication is received).

In the example of FIG. 5, it is assumed that a wearable device for measuring the amount of blood glucose in the user's body and a wearable device for measuring a different amount of exercise (repair) are worn. However, when the wearable device of the same kind (i.e., " same kind ") is worn by the same user, it is an important issue to properly process the biometric information from the wearable device.

6B, the controller 110 adds identification information (WD-ID) of the wearable device 200 'selected from at least two homogeneous wearable devices 200' and 200 "to the collected biometric information, 1-A can be tagged and stored in the main storage unit 171 and the wearable device 200 'other than the selected one of the at least two homogeneous wearable devices 200' and 200 " Tag WD-1-B of the wearable device 200 " corresponding to the biometric information collected from the wearable device 200 ", and store the tagged information WD-1-B in the temporary storage unit 172. [

Here, the selection of one wearable device from at least two homogeneous wearable devices 200 'and 200 " can be arbitrarily selected by the user through the device selection interface provided by, for example, the mobile terminal 100 Or may be selected based on information such as the measurement accuracy of the wearable devices 200 'and 200 ", or based on physical factors such as the distance between the wearable devices 200' and 200 " and the mobile terminal 100 May be selected, or may be selected by any other way.

For example, the biometric information stored in the main storage unit 171 may be used as basic data of a display provided to a user through a healthcare application, and may be transmitted to the central server 300, And can be utilized as basic data in generating or extracting customized healthcare contents from the medical institution server 400. [

Here, since the validity of the selected wearable device is not always assured, at least one of the at least two homogeneous wearable devices, according to a further embodiment of the present invention, the verification unit (160) of the mobile terminal (100) The biometric information collected from the wearable device selected from among the wearable devices can be verified.

If the biometric information acquired from the selected wearable device is determined to be inaccurate or erroneous or a failure has occurred in the wearable device based on the verification result by the verification unit 160 The biometric information stored in the main storage unit 171 may be replaced with the biometric information stored in the temporary storage unit 172. [

6B and 6C, the verification unit 160 verifies the biometric information obtained from the selected wearable device 200 '(WD-1-A), and if the verification result is negative (for example, ("148"? "WD-1") stored in the main storage unit 171 when the wearable device 200 'temporarily determines that an error has occurred at 10:00 on August 7, ("158"? "WD-1-B"? "8/7 10:00") stored in the temporary storage unit 172 Can be replaced. Therefore, even if a temporary error occurs in the wearable device, continuity and accuracy of the biometric information data can be ensured.
