FIG. 4 describes a photographed image (C) of a cell or microorganism (target particle), which is an analysis target cultured in a petri dish, by a user using his/her portable terminal (P), and FIG. 4 (a) As shown in , the target particle (a) on the captured image (C) may be a single type of cell or microorganism, and as shown in FIG. 4 (b), the target particles (a1, a2, a3) may be several types of cells or microorganisms.

Hereinafter, for convenience of explanation, as shown in FIG. I will assume and explain.

For example, the method for analyzing microparticles of cells or microorganisms may include a step (S10) of receiving, by the communication unit 200, a captured image C of target particles from a portable terminal P.

That is, the user generates the photographed image C by photographing the target particle as shown in FIG. can be sent to

Here, as an example, in the method for analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms, the calculation unit 110 calculates calculation information on the type and number of target particles using the captured image C and external data of fine particles stored in advance. It may further include a step (S12) of doing.

To explain this in more detail, the calculation unit 110 can acquire (S11) information (external data) on a number of fine particles from the data server D through the communication unit 200, and the data server D It is possible to define/calculate the type of target particle by comparing a number of fine particles obtained from the target particle on the photographed image (C), and the calculation information can be generated by calculating the number for each type.

For example, the calculation unit 110 obtains information on a large number of fine particles from the data server D in advance and turns it into big data, and in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2001-0017092 A (2001.03.05) described above The calculation information may be generated by calculating the type and number of target particles in the captured image C through the disclosed artificial neural network or a previously known artificial intelligence technique.

Here, as an example, the method of analyzing microparticles of cells or microorganisms includes the steps of, by the processing unit 120, mapping the calculation information onto the captured image C to generate result information B (S13) and the communication unit (200) may further include a step (S14) of transmitting the result information (B) to the portable terminal (P).

For example, the processing unit 120 maps the calculation information generated by the calculation unit 110 onto the captured image C so that the user can easily recognize the calculation information to generate the result information B. can be config.

That is, the result information (B) may refer to information displayed at a predetermined position of the calculation information based on the photographed image (C).

To explain this in more detail, FIG. 5 is an example of the result information (B) displayed on the user's portable terminal (P), and the processing unit 120 is defined as 'OO type' by the operation unit 110 / The calculated name and number of the first target particles (a1) and the calculated name and number of the second target particles (a2) are defined as 'ΔΔ species' by the calculation unit 110/ It is possible to generate the result information (B) capable of discriminating the number of unknown third target particles (a3) that have not been calculated.

For example, the result information (B) includes an identification icon (I) indicating the target particle calculated by the calculation unit 110 on the photographed image (C), and the identification icon (I) is It may be displayed differently for each type.

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, in the result information (B), the first identification icon (I1) identifying the first target particle (a1) defined/calculated as 'OO species' is the captured image (C). ) may be displayed on the edge of the first target particle (a1) (for example, marked with a red box), and may identify the second target particle (a2) defined / calculated as 'ΔΔ species'. 2 The identification icon I2 may be information displayed on the edge of the second target particle a2 on the captured image C (eg, displayed as a blue box).

Therefore, the user determines the position of the first target particle a1 defined/calculated as 'OO species' on the captured image C through the result information B displayed on the user's portable terminal P, The position and number of the second target particles a2 defined/calculated by the number and 'ΔΔ species' can be easily recognized.

In addition, the result information (B) is a discrimination icon (K ), and the discrimination icon (K) may be displayed differently from the identification icon (I).

That is, as shown in FIG. 5, the result information (B) is used to distinguish the unknown third target particle a3, which is not defined/calculated as a specific species, from other fine particles. ) may be information displayed on the edge of the third target particle a3 on the captured image C (eg, displayed as a green dotted line box).

Therefore, the user easily recognizes the location and number of unknown target particles that are not defined/calculated as a specific species on the captured image (C) through the result information (B) displayed on the user's portable terminal (P). can do

Here, as an example, in the method for analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms, the communication unit 200 receives selection information of the identification icon (I) from the portable terminal (P) or the communication unit 200 receives the selection information of the portable terminal ( A step (S15) of receiving selection information of the distinction icon K from P) may be further included.

To explain this in more detail, the user may select the identification icon (I) by touching/inputting it in the result information (B) displayed as shown in FIG. ) can be selected by touching/inputting.

For example, when the user touches and selects the first identification icon I1 among the identification icons I, the communication unit 200 selects the first identification icon I1 from the portable terminal P. The selection information may be received.

In addition, when the user touches and selects the distinction icon (K) among the identification icon (I) and the distinction icon (K), the communication unit 200 receives the first identification icon (I1) from the portable terminal (P). ) can be received.

Here, as an example, when the communication unit 200 receives the selection information of the identification icon (I), the method for analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms has the processing unit 120 selected on the captured image (C). Generating feedback result information (F) displaying only target particles corresponding to the identification icon (I) (S17) and transmitting the feedback result information (F) to the mobile terminal (P) by the communication unit 200 A step (S18) of doing may be further included.

To explain this in more detail, if the selection information is information for selecting the first identification icon I1, the processing unit 120 corresponds to the first identification icon I1 selected on the captured image C. The feedback result information F may be generated with only the first target particle a1 being displayed, and the second target particle a2 and the third target particle a3 deleted.

That is, FIG. 6 is an example of the feedback result information (F) displayed on the user's portable terminal (P) to explain the previous example. Only the first target particle a1 corresponding to 1 identification icon I1 may be displayed, and the second target particle a2 and the third target particle a3 may be deleted and provided to the user.

As a result, the user can easily recognize the location and number of fine particles of a specific species selected by the user.

Meanwhile, as an example, when the communication unit 200 receives the selection information of the discrimination icon K, the method for analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms is based on the target particle calculated by the calculation unit 110 and the selected discrimination icon. Calculating the similarity between (K) and the corresponding uncalculated target particles (S16), generating feedback result information (F) displaying the similarity calculated on the photographed image (C) by the processing unit 120 Step S17 and step S18 of transmitting the feedback result information F to the portable terminal P by the communication unit 200 may be further included.

To explain this in more detail, if the selection information is the information for selecting the discrimination icon K, the calculation unit 110 calculates the calculation information in the previous step (S12) of the target particle defined/calculated as a specific species. (For example, a1 and a2 particles) and an unknown target particle (eg, a3 particle) that is not defined/calculated as a specific species corresponding to the discrimination icon (K) are compared to calculate the degree of similarity between them. can do.

Here, the degree of similarity is the degree of similarity between shapes, colors, and images between particles. A similarity calculation formula may be pre-determined by a manager, or a known image similarity calculation technique may be applied.

Also, the processing unit 120 may generate the feedback result information F obtained by mapping the similarity calculated by the calculation unit 110 onto the photographed image C.

7 is an example of the feedback result information (F) displayed on the user's portable terminal (P), when selection information of the distinction icon (K) is received, the feedback result information (F) is the captured image (C) The feedback result in which only the third target particle a3 corresponding to the selected discrimination icon K is displayed, and the second target particle a2 and the third target particle a3 are deleted. Information (F) can be created.

In addition, the feedback result information (F) is a similarity between the third target particle (a3) and the first target particle (a1) for each of the third target particle (a3) on the photographed image (C), The similarity between the third target particle a3 and the second target particle a2 may be information displayed.

As a result, the user can easily recognize how similar the unknown target particle defined/calculated as a specific species is to the target particle defined/calculated as a specific species in the current situation.

Meanwhile, identification information of the mobile terminal P, the captured image C, the calculation information, the result information B, and the feedback information may be stored in the memory unit 300 .

Hereinafter, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 10 , a method and system 10 for analyzing microparticles of cells or microorganisms as an additional embodiment of the present invention will be described.

For contents that are duplicated with the above description or can be easily derived from the viewpoint of those skilled in the art, the description will be omitted or simplified.

As an example, the method for analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms may refer to a method of efficiently analyzing target particles when photographed images of target particles are acquired multiple times with a time difference.

That is, since the shape and/or size of target particles cultured in one petri dish may change over time, a method for analyzing target particles more efficiently is required.

For example, the method of analyzing microparticles of cells or microorganisms includes the steps of the communication unit 200 receiving a first captured image C of target particles at a first point in time from a portable terminal P, and the operation unit 110 Calculating first calculation information on the type and number of target particles using the previously stored external data of the fine particles and the first photographed image (C).

Here, the step of receiving the first captured image C corresponds to the step of receiving the captured image C described above (S10), and the step of calculating the first calculation information calculates the calculation information described above. It may be a step corresponding to the step (S12).

Meanwhile, similarly, the processing unit 120 generates the result information (B) for the first captured image (C) (S13) and the communication unit 200 transmits the result information (B). (S14) may be implemented.

That is, all of the fine particle analysis methods described above may be implemented (for example, steps S10 to S18 are implemented) using the first captured image (C).

On the other hand, the method of analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms includes the step of receiving, by the communication unit 200, a second captured image C2 of target particles at a second time point after the first time point from the portable terminal P ( S20) may be further included.

For example, when it is assumed that the first captured image C is the image of FIG. 4(b) described above, the second captured image C2 is a target particle of FIG. 4(a) different from the target particle of FIG. 4(b). ), or the image of the target particle of FIG. 8 after the target particle of FIG. 4(b) has been cultured for two days.

Meanwhile, in the method of analyzing fine particles of cells or microorganisms, the calculation unit 110 uses the first captured image C and the second captured image C2 to determine the size of the target particle on the second captured image C2. It may further include calculating second calculation information about the type and number (S21).

To explain this in more detail, in the step of calculating the second calculation information (S21), when the similarity between the first captured image C and the target particle on the second captured image C2 is equal to or greater than a preset similarity, the first The second calculation information for the second captured image C2 is calculated using the first calculation information for the captured image C, and the first captured image C and the second captured image C2 are calculated. ) If the similarity of the target particle on the image is less than the preset similarity, the second calculation information may be calculated using previously stored external data of fine particles and the second captured image C2.

That is, when the calculation unit 110 acquires the second captured image C2 from the portable terminal P through the communication unit 200, the first captured particle is the same as the target particle on the second captured image C2. A similarity between target particles in the first captured image C obtained from the portable terminal P may be calculated.

For example, the degree of similarity here is a value for determining whether the target particles on the first captured image C and the target particles on the second captured image C2 are target particles cultured in the same petri dish, and the calculation unit (110) After calculating the center point of the target particle in the first captured image C and the center point of the target particle in the second captured image C2, the arrangement relationship between the center points (disposition position, distance between dots, etc.) ), the degree of similarity can be digitized to calculate the degree of similarity. Meanwhile, the calculation unit 110 may calculate the similarity of two images using a known technique for calculating the similarity.

In addition, the preset similarity may be set in advance by an administrator, and may be set to 95%, for example.

Here, as an example, the calculation unit 110 calculates the first captured image C when the similarity between the target particles on the second captured image C2 is equal to or greater than a preset similarity. The second calculation information for the second captured image C2 may be calculated using the first calculation information.

That is, the first captured image C is the image of FIG. 4(b) and the second captured image C2 is the image of the target particle of FIG. 8 after the target particle of FIG. 4(b) has been cultured for two days. Optionally, when the similarity of the target particles on the first captured image C and the second captured image C2 is equal to or greater than a preset similarity, the operation unit 110 determines the first captured image C2 as the second captured image C2. 2 Comparison between the first calculation information for the first captured image C and the second captured image C2 is performed without calculating calculation information through external data obtained from the external data server D. Second calculation information may be calculated.

That is, the calculation unit 110 compares each target particle of the second captured image C2 with each target particle of the first captured image C for which the first calculation information has already been generated, 2 It is possible to calculate the type and number of target particles on the captured image C2.

Meanwhile, the calculation unit 110 determines whether the first captured image C and the second captured image C2 have a similarity of target particles that is less than a preset similarity, and determines the first captured image C with respect to the first captured image C2. The second calculation information may be calculated using the previously stored external data of the fine particles and the second captured image C2 as in the step of calculating the calculation information described above (S12) without using the calculation information.

On the other hand, the method of analyzing microparticles of cells or microorganisms includes the step (S22) of generating result information (B) by mapping the second calculation information onto the second captured image (C2) by the processing unit 120; The communication unit 200 may further include a step (S23) of transmitting the result information (B) to the portable terminal (P), wherein the step (S22) of generating the result information (B) is the first When the second calculation information for the second captured image C2 is calculated using the first calculation information for the captured image C, the first captured image ( The result information (B) overlapping C) can be generated.

To explain this in more detail, when the second calculation information for the second captured image C2 is calculated using the first calculation information for the first captured image C, that is, the first captured image When the similarity between (C) and the target particle on the second captured image (C2) is greater than or equal to the preset similarity, the processing unit 120 may allow the user to more easily recognize the cultured state and culture change of the particle in the second captured image. The result information (B) obtained by overlapping the first captured image (C) in (C2) may be generated.

9 is an example for explaining the result information (B) displayed on the user's portable terminal (P), using the first calculation information for the first captured image (C) to obtain the second captured image. When the second calculation information for (C2) is calculated, the result information (B) is on the second captured image C2 described with reference to FIG. 8, and the second calculation information described with reference to FIG. 4(b) 1 captured image C may overlap, and furthermore, target particles on the first captured image C may be converted into dotted lines and displayed, and furthermore, the identification icon displaying each target particle and the discrimination icon It may be displayed information.

In particular, the third target particle a3, which is an unknown target particle that is not defined/calculated as a specific species in the first captured image C described with reference to FIG. 5, is cultured to form the second captured image C2. In the image, when the first target particle (a1) is defined/calculated as 'OO species', the discrimination icon is displayed on the corresponding target particle (for example, displayed as a green box), and the first identification icon is displayed on the border thereof. This may be additionally displayed (eg, displayed in a red box), and information in which the number of the first target particles a1 is added by one more (information on a difference in the number) may also be included.

Similarly, the third target particle a3, which is an unknown target particle that is not defined/calculated as a specific species in the first captured image C, is cultured, and the second target particle a3 in the second captured image C2 When defined/calculated as 'ΔΔ species' in (a2), the discrimination icon is displayed on the corresponding target particle (eg, displayed as a green box), and the second identification icon is additionally displayed on the border (e.g., For example, displayed in a blue box), information in which the number of the second target particles a2 is added by one more (information on the difference in the number) may also be included.

As a result, the user can easily recognize the type and number of target particles at the first time point and the type and number of target particles at the second time point, and can also easily recognize a change in target particles due to a change in point of view. can
