Description

Personalized health functional food recommendation method and system using the same}

The present invention relates to a health functional food recommendation technology, and more particularly, to a personalized health functional food recommendation method and a health functional food recommendation system using the same.

In general, pharmaceuticals are those used for treatment or prevention purposes stored in pharmacies, and health functional foods are foods manufactured using ingredients useful for human health promotion or health use.

The above medicines include specialty drugs that are prescribed by a doctor at a hospital and stored in pharmacies, and general drugs that are stored in pharmacies without a prescription.

Health functional foods are not classified as drugs by law, so they can be easily obtained not only at pharmacies but also at marts. If you take multiple prescriptions and take several types of medicines or health functional foods purchased at a mart, etc., inform your doctor in advance to minimize the redundant ingredients, thereby preventing side effects due to excessive intake of ingredients of medicines and health functional foods. Should be avoided.

However, there are cases in which hospitals do not inform the doctor of the medicines they are taking, and in particular, in the case of health functional foods, it is very rare to notify the doctor. Therefore, when several kinds of medicines and health functional foods are taken at the same time, side effects may occur due to excessive supply of ingredients of the above medicines and health functional foods.

In addition, in the case of health functional foods, multiple health functional foods are frequently consumed at the same time to prevent diseases caused by lack of vitamins, that is, lack of ingredients in medicines and health functional foods. Side effects are prone to occur.

In addition, contrary to the above, by ingesting a health functional food with a low content of ingredients, the recommended intake amount of the ingredients of the health functional food is not met, and the effect of the health functional food may not be seen.

In this way, in order for consumers to select health functional foods, many things must be considered one by one, so it was very difficult to find a health functional food suitable for them.

The present invention has been proposed to solve the above technical problems, and a personalized health functional food recommendation method capable of recommending a health functional food suitable for a user by ranking using body information and personal life pattern information, and using the same. Provide a health functional food recommendation system.

According to an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problem, the body fat index (BMI) is determined based on personal information including date of birth, sex, height, and weight, and the available age and recommended dose of the health functional food are automatically determined. The step of processing the questionnaire to be identified, the step of selecting a recommended food for each region of interest that automatically selects a plurality of health functional foods corresponding to each of the selected at least one or more health regions of interest, and excess nutrients and deficiencies based on the input eating pattern and eating pattern A nutrient grasping step for automatically identifying nutrients, a restricted food selection step for automatically selecting a health functional food subject to restriction based on the input drinking information and smoking information, the questionnaire processing step, the recommended food selection step for each area of interest, the nutrient A personalized health functional food recommendation method including a health functional food recommendation step of recommending a health functional food based on the grasping step and the information identified in the restricted food selection step is provided.

In addition, the health functional food recommendation step in the present invention includes the information identified in the questionnaire processing step, the recommended food selection step for each region of interest, the nutrient grasping step and the restricted food selection step, the price-performance evaluation score, and the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient. , It is characterized by recommending health functional foods by ranking based on the evaluation score of the convenience of dosage form, the evaluation score of the convenience of the number of doses and the evaluation score of functional ingredients/indicators.

In addition, the price/performance evaluation score in the present invention is

<Equation 1>

It is calculated through, and a higher score is given as the selling price per unit of the content of the functional main ingredient is lower.

In addition, in the present invention, the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient is characterized in that a score is given based on the physiological activity grade of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

In addition, in the present invention, the evaluation score of the dosage form convenience is given in a liquid form, and the score is differentiated according to whether or not to take it immediately and with water, and the evaluation score for the convenience of taking the dosage is given a higher score as the number of doses per day decreases. It is characterized by being.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in order to describe in detail enough to allow those of ordinary skill in the art to easily implement the technical idea of the present invention.

1 is a configuration diagram of a health functional food recommendation system according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is a flow chart of a personalized health functional food recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 3 to 14 are health functional foods This is an example diagram of a health functional food recommendation application to which the personalized health functional food recommendation method is applied in the recommendation system.

1 to 14, the health functional food recommendation system includes a portable terminal 100 and a management server 200.

The portable terminal is a generic term for a device that a user can use while carrying, such as a mobile phone, a smart phone, and a smart pad, and in the present embodiment, it is assumed that it is a portable terminal composed of a smart phone.

That is, when the user executes the health functional food recommendation application installed in his or her portable terminal 100 and inputs body information and personal life pattern information, the health functional food recommendation application automatically selects the most suitable health functional food for the user. The functions recommended by ranking are executed.

At this time, the management server 200 stores a database on health functional foods, and provides data on the types and ingredients of the health functional food whenever requested by the health functional food recommendation application of the portable terminal 100.

Since the management server 200 periodically provides data on the health functional food to the portable terminal 100, the health functional food recommendation application can periodically update information on the new health functional food. Therefore, even if the health functional food recommendation application is not connected to the management server 200 in real time, the health functional food is recommended using the previously updated health functional food data.

Basically, the personalized health functional food recommendation method processed by the health functional food recommendation system is as follows.

First, when the health functional food recommendation application is executed and personal information including date of birth, sex, height and weight is input, the health functional food recommendation application identifies the body fat index (BMI) based on the personal information, and A questionnaire processing step (S10) of automatically identifying the available age and recommended dose is performed.

In the questionnaire processing step (S10), as shown in FIG. 3, when the name, date of birth, sex, height, and weight are input, the body fat index (BMI) is calculated and displayed, and taking health functional foods based on such personal information It will automatically determine the possible age and recommended dosage.

Next, the health functional food recommendation application proceeds with a recommended food selection step (S20) for each area of interest in which a plurality of health functional foods corresponding to each of the selected at least one health area of interest are automatically selected.

As shown in FIG. 4, the step of selecting recommended food for each region of interest (S20) includes “nutrients, red ginseng, diet, health, immunity, bowel/stool, eye health, liver health, fatigue/tension, antioxidant, blood/blood vessels, You can select the health area of interest classified as “joint/bone”. The health functional food recommendation application automatically selects a plurality of health functional foods based on the selected health area of interest.

Next, the health functional food recommendation application proceeds to a nutrient grasping step (S30) of automatically identifying excess nutrients and insufficient nutrients based on the input meal pattern and meal intake pattern.

As shown in Figs. 5 to 8, the nutrient grasping step (S30) is performed after receiving the input of regular meals, meat intake frequency, fish intake frequency, and fruit/vegetable intake frequency. Based on the intake pattern, it automatically identifies excess and insufficient nutrients.

Next, the health functional food recommendation application proceeds to a restricted food selection step (S40) of automatically selecting a health functional food to be restricted based on the input drinking information and smoking information.

In the step of selecting a restricted food (S40), as shown in FIGS. 9 to 11, after receiving the drinking frequency, the amount of drinking, and the amount of smoking, the health functional food to be restricted is automatically selected based on the drinking information and the smoking information. In other words, the health functional food recommendation application automatically classifies it as a restricted food after grasping when a specific ingredient of a health functional food causes side effects by drinking and smoking.

Meanwhile, referring to FIG. 12, the health functional food recommendation application may provide a step for selecting a priority (preferred item) when a user purchases a health functional food as an option.

At this time, if the step to select the priority is not selected, the health functional food recommendation application is a questionnaire processing step (S10), a recommended food selection step for each region of interest (S20), a nutrient grasping step (S30) and a restricted food selection step ( The health functional food recommendation step (S50) of recommending the health functional food is performed based on the information identified in S40).

In addition, when a step for selecting the priority is selected, the priority (preferred item) selected by the user is considered and health functional foods are recommended for each priority.

On the other hand, the health functional food recommendation application in the health functional food recommendation step (S50),

In addition to the information identified in the questionnaire processing step (S10), the recommended food selection step for each area of interest (S20), the nutrient grasping step (S30), and the restricted food selection step (S40),

It is possible to recommend health functional foods by ranking by additionally considering the price/performance evaluation score, the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient, the evaluation score of the dosage form convenience, the evaluation score of the convenience of taking frequency and the evaluation score of functional ingredients/indicators. .

In other words, at the stage where the user can select the priority (preferred item), the evaluation score for price/performance ratio, the evaluation score for the functional grade of the main ingredient, the evaluation score for the convenience of the dosage form, and the evaluation score for the number of doses and convenience according to the item selected by the user. And at least one or more of the evaluation scores of functional ingredients/indicators are considered, and health functional foods are recommended by ranking.

In this example, the evaluation score of price/performance ratio, the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient, the evaluation score of the dosage form convenience, the evaluation score of the convenience of taking frequency and the evaluation score of functional ingredients/indicators are all considered, and health functional foods are recommended by ranking. I will explain the process of becoming.

-Price/performance evaluation score

The price/performance evaluation score is,

<Equation 1>

The lower the selling price per unit of the functional active ingredient is, the higher the score is given. Health functional foods that contain too many ingredients, such as multi-nutrients, do not yield a price/performance score.

<Table 1>

Referring to Table 1, when the functional “selling price per unit of content of the main ingredient” is calculated through Equation 1, the price of “selling price per unit of content of the functional main ingredient” is sorted in the lowest order, and a predetermined evaluation score is given by ranking. do.

-Evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient

<Table 2>

Referring to Table 2, the score is given based on the physiological activity level of the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for “the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient”.

That is, for example, 5 points for the disease risk reduction function, 4 points for the 1st physiological function, 3 points for the 2nd physiological function, 2 points for the 3rd physiological function, and 1 point for the general food. do.

-Evaluation score of dosage form convenience

<Table 3>

Referring to Table 3, the “Evaluation Score for Convenience of the Taken Formulation” is a liquid form and can be differentiated and given according to whether or not to take it directly and with water.

-Evaluation score for convenience of taking frequency

<Table 4>

Referring to Table 4, as for the evaluation score of convenience of taking the number of doses, a higher score is given as the number of doses per day decreases.

-Functional component/indicator component evaluation score

<Table 5>

Referring to Table 5, for "Functional Component/Indicator Component Evaluation Score", a higher score is given as the number of contained functional components and indicator components increases.

For reference, a functional ingredient can be said to be a functional ingredient when it is confirmed that the ingredient itself exhibits functionality and the raw materials containing these ingredients above a certain level exhibit functionality. Since it can be confirmed that the functional ingredient keeps the functionality of the functional raw material constant, it can be said that it is very ideal to set it as a functional ingredient for standardization.

However, among natural products, there are numerous chemical substances, and there are cases in which these substances exhibit functionality through similarities and interactions. In this case, since it is not easy to search for functional components and separate them into a single substance, they can be set as indicator components. In some cases, the index component is set as the content of a single substance that represents the raw material and characterizes the manufacturing process, but in some cases, it is set as a confirmation test, a total content of similar substances using a spectrophotometer, and an enzyme titer test.

-Overall evaluation score

<Table 6>

Basically, for health functional foods with more than 10 active ingredients, such as multivitamins, the weight ratio of the price/performance evaluation score is reflected as 0%, the weight ratio of the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient is 30%, and the dosage form is convenient. The weight ratio of the evaluation score of gender is 20%, the weight ratio of the evaluation score of convenience of taking frequency is 20%, and the weight ratio of functional component/index component evaluation score is 30%, respectively, and the evaluation scores are added.

In addition, for general health functional foods (foods with 10 or less active ingredients), the weight ratio of the price/performance evaluation score is reflected as 30%, the weight ratio of the evaluation score of the functional grade of the main ingredient is 10%, and the dosage form convenience is evaluated. The weight ratio of the score is reflected as 15%, the weight ratio of the evaluation score of the number of doses and convenience is 20%, and the weight ratio of the functional component/indicator component evaluation score is 25%, and the evaluation scores are added.

For reference, as shown in FIG. 12, the health functional food recommendation application may provide an option for a user to select a priority (preferred item) when purchasing a health functional food.

If the step to select the priority is selected as an option,

With the weight ratio of <Table 6> applied by default, the weight ratio for the selected preference item is automatically applied twice, and the non-selected preference items are adjusted down to an even ratio.

13 shows a step of selecting a health functional food area and a health functional food currently being taken. In other words, if the user selects the health functional food currently being taken, the health functional food recommendation application excludes the health functional food from the recommendation target, or

The ingredients of the health functional food being ingested and the total amount of the ingredients of the health functional food to be recommended are compared and displayed, and which product is more recommended for each ingredient. At this time, the ingredients of the health functional food being ingested and the state of excess and deficiency of the ingredients that may occur when taking the health functional food that is the recommended target at the same time may be displayed as numerical values.

On the other hand, in the health functional food recommendation application, when a plurality of recommended health functional foods are selected, the excess, shortage, etc. of each component when a plurality of health functional foods are consumed can be displayed in numerical values.

In addition, the health functional food recommendation application receives an individual's body weight for a predetermined period of time while ingesting a health functional food, and when blood test values such as vitamin D blood levels are periodically input, the absorption rate of vitamin D is reduced. It is estimated that it can be recommended to change the intake of health functional foods containing vitamin D. In this case, not only vitamin D but also all components whose absorption rate of the component can be estimated by blood test can be applied.

In addition, when the health functional food is in the form of a pill and is taken out of the storage container, especially when taking multiple health functional foods in the form of pills at the same time, it may be difficult for the user to identify which health food.

At this time, when photographing a health functional food to be taken with the camera of the portable terminal 100, the photographed image is transmitted to the management server 200, and the management server 200 compares it with the form database of the health functional food, The similarity to identify whether it is food is provided as a number.

The personalized health functional food recommendation method according to an embodiment of the present invention and the health functional food recommendation system using the same can recommend health functional food suitable for the user by ranking using body information and personal life pattern information. It provides convenience in selecting health functional foods and saves time spent searching.

As such, those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains will be able to understand that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and should be understood as non-limiting. The scope of the present invention is indicated by the claims to be described later rather than the detailed description, and all changes or modified forms derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalent concepts should be interpreted as being included in the scope of the present invention. do.
