FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a personalized healthcare service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 1 , the personalized healthcare service providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user device 100, an administrator terminal 200, a management server 300, and at least one content terminal 400.

The user device 100, such as a radio frequency identification (RFID) bracelet wearable on the user's wrist, receives and stores avatar information generated by the administrator terminal 200 based on the avatar selection information input by the user into the administrator terminal 200 from the administrator terminal 200. Thereafter, when the user attaches the user device 100 to the radio frequency (RF) communication module of the content terminal 400 in order to use the content terminal 400, the user device 100 will send the corresponding avatar information to the content terminal 400.

The administrator terminal 200 can be set at the entrance of a theme park that is an offline space providing the personalized healthcare service of the present invention. The administrator terminal 200 generates avatar information including a user account and an avatar image based on the avatar selection information input by the user, sends the generated avatar information to the user device 100, and sends a user registration request including the user account information to the management server 300.

The management server 300 receives content usage information of the user from a plurality of content terminals 400 used by the user, and analyzes the user's exercise results based on each piece of content usage information received from the plurality of content terminals 400.

A plurality of content terminals 400 are installed in a plurality of places in a theme park as an offline space for providing the personalized healthcare service of the present invention, and each content terminal 400 can provide a different type of sports game content.

FIG2 is a functional block diagram showing the structure of a management server 300 for executing a personalized healthcare service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG2 , the management server 300 for executing a personalized healthcare service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a receiving unit 310, a storage unit 330, a calculation unit 350, and a sending unit 370.

The receiving unit 310 of the management server 300 receives a user registration request from the administrator terminal 200 , and receives a content use information and a user use record query request from the content terminal 400 .

The calculation unit 350 of the management server 300 analyzes the user's sports performance based on the user's content utilization information and generates a sports performance analysis report.

The sending unit 370 of the management server 300 sends a user management request to the content terminal 400, sends a user sports performance analysis report to the administrator terminal 200 or a user terminal selected by the user such as a smart phone, and sends the user's content cumulative usage record to the content terminal 400.

On the other hand, various transmission information from the transmission unit 370, various analysis and generation information from the calculation unit 350, and various transmission information from the transmission unit 370 can be accumulated and stored in the storage unit 330 of the management server 300.

FIG. 3 is a signal flow chart for explaining the execution process of the personalized healthcare service providing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, a user who comes to a theme park, which is an offline space providing the personalized healthcare service of the present invention, receives a user device 100 such as a bracelet equipped with a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag from a facility manager, and then inputs selection information related to his or her avatar and the user's physical information through an administrator terminal 200 installed at the entrance.

In detail, the user selects one of the multiple avatar images displayed on the screen of the administrator terminal 200, determines and inputs the name of his/her avatar (i.e., user account), and determines and inputs additional selection items such as facial shape, clothing, and decorations of the selected avatar image.

In this regard, the administrator terminal 200 may generate an avatar image based on the user's various information input as described above (step S510), and then output a prompt message such as "Please attach the radio frequency identification (RFID) bracelet to the administrator terminal".

In this regard, as the user attaches the user device 100 to the administrator terminal 200, the radio frequency identification (RFID) communication module of the administrator terminal 200 sends avatar information including the avatar image and the user account to the user device 100 (step S520), and the user device 100 stores the avatar information received from the administrator terminal 200 in the radio frequency identification (RFID) tag.

Furthermore, the user can input additional user physical information such as gender information, height information, and weight information through the administrator terminal 200, and can input additional selection information related to the content terminal 400 that the user wants to use among a plurality of approximately 20 content terminals 400.

In response, the administrator terminal 200 generates a user registration request including the user account, user personal information, and selection information of the content terminal 400, and sends it to the management server 300 (step S530).

In this regard, the management server 300 generates a management account of the user based on the user account received from the administrator terminal 200, and can store the user registration request in association with the corresponding management account.

On the other hand, as the management server 300 sends a user management request including a user account to each content terminal 400 corresponding to the content terminal 400 selection information included in the user registration request (step S540), the content terminal 400 stores the user management request received from the management server 300.

After completing the user registration step as described above, the user can move around the theme park and search for the content terminals 400 of their choice in turn to use the sports game content of the game mode provided by each content terminal 400.

Specifically, as the user approaches the content terminal 400 and attaches the user device 100 to the radio frequency identification (RFID) communication module of the content terminal 400, the avatar information stored in the user device 100 in the above step S520 is sent to the content terminal 400 (step S550).

In response, the content terminal 400 determines whether the user account included in the avatar information received from the user device 100 is consistent with the user account included in the user management request received from the management server 300 in the above step S540, thereby performing a user authentication step.

If the user accounts are inconsistent, the content terminal 400 will output a prompt message such as "This content has not been registered and you cannot use it". If the user accounts are consistent, the avatar image contained in the avatar information received from the user device 100 in the above step S550 will be output on the screen of the content terminal 400 and the sports game content with a game method based on the operation of the user of the content terminal 400 will be run (step S560).

As described above, in the present invention, as the user's avatar information is stored in the user device 100, the user can control the output of the avatar image selected by the user on each content terminal 400 by attaching the user device 100 held by the user to each content terminal 400.

On the other hand, the content terminal 400 can provide the following various contents: contents for playing tug-of-war or other games in a game-like manner based on the speed and number of times a user continuously presses a button (a physical button or a button displayed on a touch display screen of the content terminal) on the content terminal 400; contents for playing back-and-forth running or other games in a game-like manner based on the speed and number of times a user runs back and forth between two physical buttons set at an interval of about 5 m and alternately presses the buttons.

As described above, as the user uses the sports game content provided by each content terminal 400, each content terminal 400 will send content utilization information including the user's performance in the corresponding sports game (for example, first level to fifth level), game records such as game scores, and user accounts to the management server 300 (step S570).

In response to this, the management server 300 searches for a user account corresponding to the user account included in the content utilization information, and cumulatively stores the content utilization information received from each content terminal 400 in the searched user account.

On the other hand, the calculation unit 350 of the management server 300 may analyze the user's exercise results based on the content utilization information received from each content terminal 400 and the user's physical information included in the user registration request in the above step S530 (step S580).

In detail, the management server 300 may calculate the user's sports performance value by receiving the user's game scores from each content terminal 400 or calculating the average of each game score, and determine it as the user's sports achievement value.

Furthermore, the management server 300 uses the user's physical information to correct the user's exercise execution value calculated as described above, thereby also calculating the exercise result value.

Specifically, the management server 300 can calculate the user's obesity value by dividing the user's weight value by the user's height value and then multiplying by 100. The calculated obesity value is multiplied by the user's exercise performance value, thereby also calculating the exercise achievement value.

In this way, even if a user with a high obesity value is calculated to have a low exercise performance value, he or she can be given the same level of exercise achievement value as a user with normal weight.

Furthermore, if the user is female, the management server 300 multiplies the exercise execution value or exercise execution result value calculated as described above by a prescribed correction coefficient (e.g., 1.5), thereby also being able to ultimately calculate the exercise result value of the female user.

In this way, even if a female user is calculated to have a relatively low exercise performance value, she can be given the same level of exercise performance value as a male user.

On the other hand, in the process of using multiple content terminals 400, if the user selects "Usage Record Query" on the screen of the content terminal 400 and pastes the user device 100 in order to confirm his or her own content utilization information to date, the corresponding content terminal 400 generates a user usage record query request including the user account included in the avatar information received from the user device 100, and can send it to the management server 300 (step S590).

In the process of implementing the present invention, when the user selects "Usage Record Query" on the screen of the content terminal 400 and pastes the user device 100 to receive the user account from the user device 100, it is expected that the content terminal 400 does not execute the user authentication step in the above step S560, so that the usage record can also be queried through the content terminal 400 that the user has not chosen to use.

In response to this, the management server 300 searches for the user account corresponding to the user account contained in the usage record query request received from the content terminal 400, generates a content usage record including the user's content utilization information stored in association with the searched user account and the sports performance values calculated based on this and through the above method, and sends it to the content terminal 400 (step S595).

In this way, the user can confirm the usage information of each content terminal 400 used by the user so far and the current sports achievement values.

On the other hand, in the process of implementing the present invention, if the management server 300 receives a usage record query request from the content terminal 400, then among other users whose physical information is the same or similar to the physical information of the user included in the user registration request received from the administrator terminal 200 in the above step S530 (for example, users whose obesity level is the same as that of the corresponding user or is calculated to be within a specified error range (for example, 10%)), a user whose gender is the same as that of the corresponding user is selected as a competitor of the user, and the content usage record stored in association with the account of the selected competitor is sent to the content terminal 400, thereby giving the user a more active motivation in the process of exercising using the remaining content terminals 400.

On the other hand, the user's sports performance analysis step in the above step S580 can be repeatedly executed in a manner of accumulating and reflecting the user's content utilization information additionally received from the remaining content terminals 400.

Moreover, as the user's exercise performance value is finally calculated by receiving content utilization information from all content terminals 400 selected by the user, the management server 300 generates an exercise performance report including the final exercise performance value and utilization information of each content, which can be sent to the administrator terminal 200.

On the other hand, in the process of implementing the present invention, if the user terminal information such as the smartphone phone number input by the user through the administrator terminal 200 is included in the user registration request in the above step S530, the management server 300 can also send a sports performance report to the user terminal.

Moreover, in the process of implementing the present invention, the administrator terminal 200 can also recommend to the user the selection of a content terminal for guiding the user to perform appropriate exercise based on the physical information input by the user.

In detail, as described in the above method, the administrator terminal 200 can also calculate the obesity level value based on the user's body information, and at least one content terminal that stores interval information related to the obesity level value calculated based on the body information input by the user in the upper, middle and lower three numerical ranges of the predetermined obesity level value can be selected as the content terminal for the user.

In this regard, the user can select the content terminal he/she is going to use from among the multiple content terminals selected by the administrator terminal 200 and output on the screen of the administrator terminal 200 in the manner described above.

Moreover, the administrator terminal 200 generates usage order information of multiple content terminals selected by the user (for example, the third content terminal, the first content terminal, and the second content terminal in sequence) based on the selection information of the content terminal input by the user and the selected information of the content terminals of other users in the same time period, and outputs it through the screen of the administrator terminal 200 to provide it to the user, thereby allowing the user to use the content terminal in a manner that minimizes waiting time.

Furthermore, the administrator terminal 200 can generate movement path information within the theme park for using the multiple content terminals selected by the user in the theme park according to the above usage order based on the content terminal selection information input by the user and the usage order information of the multiple content terminals generated as described above.

Furthermore, the administrator terminal 200 can output the above-mentioned movement path information through the screen of the administrator terminal 200 or can support the user's effective movement within the theme park by sending it to a user terminal such as a smartphone selected by the user.

Furthermore, in the process of implementing the present invention, the management server 300 generates recommended exercise information for improving the user's health based on the analysis results of the user's exercise performance in the above step S580, and supports the future exercise-based health management of users coming to the theme park by sending it to user terminals such as smart phones.

In detail, the management server 300 can divide the sports result values into three numerical intervals: upper, middle, and lower, and can generate the sports program content (e.g., stepping steps) stored in association with the interval information containing the user's sports result values as the user's recommended sports information.

On the other hand, in the process of implementing the present invention, if the user who has used all the content terminals intends to purchase the user device 100 that he has used, then by attaching the corresponding user device 100 to the radio frequency identification (RFID) communication module of the administrator terminal 200, the administrator terminal 200 can send the user's sports performance analysis report received from the management server 300 to the user device 100.

In this regard, the user avatar information including the user account and the user's sports performance analysis report are stored in the user device 100. Ultimately, if the user comes to the theme park again in the future and attaches the corresponding user device 100 to the administrator terminal 200, the administrator terminal 200 can receive the user avatar information including the user account and the sports performance analysis report from the user device 100.

In this regard, the administrator terminal 200 can select and recommend a content terminal suitable for the user who is coming back from multiple content terminals 400 based on the sports performance analysis report received from the user device 100, thereby recommending user personalized content based on the user's past sports performance analysis reports.

Specifically, the administrator terminal 200 selects a content terminal corresponding to content utilization information whose game score is below a prescribed benchmark score in the usage information of each content included in the sports performance analysis report and recommends it to the user, thereby providing support in a balanced manner to improve the user's sports ability.

Furthermore, in the process of implementing the present invention, the program for running the personalized healthcare service providing method of the present invention can be set in the management server 300 of the present invention or recorded in various computer-readable recording media, or can be stored in a server that transmits the corresponding program through the network.
