If the number of authentication failures has not been repeated N times, step S120 is performed. That is, the member information manager 2330 may guide the user to perform the user authentication procedure again. However, if the number of authentication failures is repeated N times, step S134 is performed.

In step S134, the member information manager 2330 may guide authentication failure. The member information manager 2330 may inform the user that the authentication has failed and terminate the user authentication process when the user repeatedly fails the user authentication N times. At this time, the user may request the operator of the server 2000 to perform authentication again.

In step S140, the member information manager 2330 may provide a member ID to the user through the user electronic device 1100. Member ID can be used when using the Buckle program. Member IDs can be issued in the following order. Referring to the example of FIG. 9, in step S141, the user may access the server 2000 using the user electronic device 1100. In step S142, the member information manager 2330 may request user information. The user may input user information using the user electronic device 1100. In step S143, the user can enter a password. Here, the user information and the password may be the same information as the information entered in the member registration step (S110).

10 is a flowchart illustrating an example of an operation method of the application manager illustrated in FIG. 8. Referring to FIG. 10, the application manager 2320 may provide a user application to the user electronic device 1100 or assist in installing a buckle program.

In operation S210, the application manager 2320 may install an execution program (eg, a buckle program) in the user electronic device 1100. The execution program may be stored and installed in the memory unit 1115 of the user electronic device 1100 through a removable storage medium (eg, a USB or memory card, etc.) or a download from the server 2000. The execution program may include authentication data for authentication of the user electronic device 1100 described in FIG. 9.

In step S220, the application manager 2320 may determine whether the installation of the execution program was successful. If the installation of the execution program has failed (NO), the application manager 2320 may guide the program installation failure (S225). If the installation of the buckle program is successful (YES), the application manager 2320 may perform step S230.

In step S230, the application manager 2320 may check whether the communication unit 2100, the storage unit 2200, and the control unit 2300 of the server 2000 operate normally. The application manager 2320 may check whether the user can normally use the user application provided by the server 2000 or the buckle program using the user electronic device 1100.

In step S231, the application manager 2320 may check the operation of the communication unit 2100 of the server 2000. First, the application manager 2320 may check whether the user electronic device 1100 is smoothly connected to the server 2000 through the operation of the communication unit 2100. The communication unit 2100 may check whether user information or the like is received from the user electronic device 1100 and abdominal information or posture tilt information or the like is received from the server 2000.

In step S232, the application manager 2320 may check the operation of the storage unit 2200 of the server 2000. The application manager 2320 may check whether the storage unit 2200 normally stores information received from the communication unit 2100 in the member DB 2210, the abdomen DB 2220, and the posture DB 2230. That is, the user information input from the user electronic device 1100 is stored in the member DB 2210, the user's abdominal circumference information or abdominal pressure information is stored in the abdominal DB 2220, and the user's information is stored in the posture DB 2230. It is possible to check whether posture tilt information is stored.

In step S233, the application manager 2320 may check the operation of the control unit 2300 of the server 2000. The application manager 2320 may check whether the processor 2310 of the control unit 2300 operates normally, and operate the member information manager 2330, the abdominal information manager 2340, and the posture information manager 2350. The application manager 2320 may check whether the buckle program operates according to a program command.
