This will be described in detail below.

4 is a conceptual illustration of obtaining big data on the amount of activity and amount of food of a pet stored in a DB according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As in the example of FIG. 4, the age of each pet species is divided into a plurality of stages, and the weight by species and age is divided into a plurality of stages, and big data on the amount of activity and food of the pet is obtained for each category. .

In this embodiment, as an example, an example in which age is divided into three stages (eg, infancy, adulthood, and old age) and weight is divided into four stages (eg, weight 1 to 4) for type A is shown. Of course, the number of dividing steps may be changed.

At this time, information based on veterinary medicine may be used for information on the amount of activity and amount of food for each species, age, and weight of the pet. Furthermore, by increasing the number of pets, it is possible to derive big data on activity and dietary information.

5 shows the amount of activity and amount of food in an X-Y plane using the big data derived in FIG. 4 . An X-Y plane 50 is constructed by setting the amount of activity as the X-axis and the amount of food as the Y-axis. On the X-Y plane 50, for example, information on activity and amount of food for each type, age, and weight of the pet derived in FIG. 4 is represented by a plurality of dots 51, respectively.

The X-Y plane 50 is divided into several cells 52 according to the amount of activity and food of the pet. FIG. 5 shows an example in which a total of nine cells 52 are formed by dividing the amount of activity and amount of food into three stages, respectively. Of course, the number of cells 52 can be varied.

In the DB 620, pet information, that is, big data of activity and diet information according to the pet's species, age, and weight, and data on the X-Y plane 50 are stored in advance.

The DB 620 also stores health management information to be recommended in the future according to the amount of activity and food of the current pet 10 as well as the information of the pet 10 . This is to check the current health status of the pet 10 based on pet information and the current amount of activity/diet, and to recommend future health management information on how to manage health in the future.

The server control unit 630 controls overall operations of the management server 600 .

The server controller 630 determines the position on the X-Y plane 50 by using the information of the pet 10 transmitted from the wearable device 100 and the smart bowl device 200 and the amount of activity and amount of food of the pet 10 assign Further, the server control unit 630 transmits current health condition information of the pet 10 corresponding to the assigned location and future health management information of the pet 10 based on the current health condition information to the user terminal 400 .

At this time, when the server control unit 630 receives the information of the pet 10 and the amount of activity and amount of food of the pet 10 from the wearable device 100 and the smart bowl device 200, the average activity amount for a certain time range and Its position on the X-Y plane 50 is assigned to the average food amount information.

FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a current location of a pet and a recommended future target location on the X-Y plane of FIG. 5 .

Referring to FIG. 6 , the server control unit 630 allocates positions corresponding to the pet 10 information and the average activity/food amount information to the X-Y plane.

The server controller 630 checks the current state of health of the pet 10 based on the pet 10 information and the assigned current location A. Checking the health status of the pet 10 may be based on veterinary statistics previously stored in the DB 620 .

The server control unit 630 also sets a target location (B) to which location it is good to go to in the future from the current location (A) allocated on the X-Y plane, and provides future health care information recommended to go to the target location (B). It is derived from DB 620. Confirmation of future health management information of the pet 10 may also be based on veterinary statistics previously stored in the DB 620 .

For example, since the current location (A) in the drawing is a state in which the amount of food is low and the amount of food is low, it is determined that the amount of food eaten is high and the activity is low compared to the weight, and the current health state can be diagnosed as overeating/obesity.

In addition, it may be recommended to move to a specific target position B in consideration of the species, age, and weight of the pet 10 . At this time, health care information necessary for moving to the target position B may be provided together. For example, in order to go to the target position (B), health management information that reduces the amount of food by 10% and increases the amount of exercise by 20% may be recommended.

7 is a diagram showing a movement path between a current location and a target location of a pet on an X-Y plane according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 7 , a path to move between a current location (A) and a target location (B) of the pet 10 is illustrated as an example. For example, the P path shows a straight path from A to B, and the S path shows a curved path from A to B. These pathways are determined by the pet's species, age, and weight.

For example, if the amount of activity and food amount of the pet 10 are simultaneously adjusted to move along a straight path like the P path, the health of the pet 10 may be rather harmed depending on the condition of the pet 10 . As in the S pathway, a plan to reduce food intake at first and gradually increase the amount of activity later can be recommended.

In addition, in FIG. 7 , the location to which the current location of the pet moves on the path may be displayed in time series. For example, the first position on the route S is A0, the next position is A1, and the next position is indicated as A2.

In this way, it is possible to directly check how the health status of the pet 10 is changing by providing future health management information of the pet 10 according to the time-series displayed path so as to adjust the activity and food amount of the pet 10 there is.

The server controller 630 displays the current location (A) and the target location (B) of the pet 10, the path from the current location (A) to the target location (B), the movement status of the location on the path, etc. on the X-Y plane , it is possible to provide current health status information and future health management information corresponding to each location.

The server control unit 630 transmits the process processed on the X-Y plane to the user terminal 400 at the request of the user terminal 400 or in real time, and the user terminal 400 may display it through the display unit 420. . As a result, the user can visually check this.
