Figure 1 is a diagram for explaining an example of a system that provides a customized pet diet management service according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1 , the system may include a server 100, a user terminal 200, and a delivery company terminal 300.

The system can provide a customized pet diet management service through the server 100.

The server 100 may receive information about the companion animal from the user terminal 200 and calculate the companion animal's daily calorie requirement. In addition, based on the daily calorie requirement, the optimal daily feeding amount and the appropriate feeding amount per time can be calculated for the pet's diet.

Calories needed per day refer to the number of calories a pet needs to consume per day. In addition, the appropriate daily feeding amount refers to the amount of diet that should be fed to a companion animal per day, and the appropriate feeding amount per time refers to the amount of diet that should be fed to a companion animal for one meal based on the appropriate daily feeding amount.

Based on the calculated daily appropriate feeding amount and one-time appropriate feeding amount, the server 100 can determine the companion animal's diet divided into appropriate amounts. Additionally, the server 100 can match a delivery company, communicate with the delivery company terminal 300, and deliver the divided menu to a preset delivery address of the user terminal 200.

The user terminal 200 and the delivery company terminal 300 may be computing devices that include a display device and a memory and a processor. For example, a display device may be implemented as a touch screen to receive user input. Alternatively, a separate device (eg, keyboard, mouse, etc.) that receives user input may be further included. For example, the user terminal 10 may include a smart phone, a laptop PC, a desktop PC, a laptop, a tablet computer, etc., but is not limited thereto. The user terminal 200 and the delivery company terminal 300 may be connected to the server 300 through a wired or wireless communication network.

Referring to FIG. 2 , in step 210, the server 100 may receive physical information and nutritional intake information of the companion animal from the user terminal 200.

The server 100 may provide the user terminal 200 with an information input environment (for example, a production interface provided on an Internet site or a mobile phone terminal) for calculating the appropriate daily feeding amount for a companion animal.

Through the information input environment provided by the user terminal 200, the user can input or select the physical information of the companion animal. The server 100 can receive physical information about the pet, including the pet's gender, age, breed, weight, and whether the pet has been neutered.

Additionally, the pet's physical information may include whether the pet is obese. The server 100 may receive information about whether the pet is obese from the user terminal 200 and determine whether the pet is obese based on the image of the pet received from the user terminal 200.

For example, the server 100 may receive direct information about obesity from the user terminal 200, and determine whether the pet is obese by considering its breed, age, and weight. In addition, based on at least one of the pet image received from the user terminal 200, such as the pet's face, head and neck, sternum, ribs, tail, side view of the pet, and top view of the pet, You can determine whether you are obese. For example, the server 100 can clearly distinguish the ribs and tail skeleton of the pet in the pet image, and if the side view of the pet's abdomen is not straight but slightly curved, it can be selected as a standard body shape. can be judged. Alternatively, if it is difficult to distinguish the skeleton of the pet's ribs and tail, and the pet's abdomen appears straight in profile, it may be judged to be obese.

In addition, the server 100 provides information about the pet's current diet (e.g., food, snacks, water, etc.), the pet's daily feeding amount, feeding frequency, and feeding pattern. Intake information can be received.

Information about the diet is nutritional information of the feed and snacks currently being fed to the companion animal, and can be obtained through the brand name or product name of the feed or snack, or received from the user terminal 200.

Additionally, in the case of feed, various elements such as dry food, wet food, raw food, dried food, fresh food, and homemade food may be included.

Nutritional intake information can be received directly from the user terminal 200 through the information input environment. Additionally, nutritional intake information can be extracted through product images of feed or snacks received from the user terminal 200.

Additionally, in step 220, the server 100 may calculate the pet's daily calorie requirement based on the pet's body information and nutritional intake information.

More specifically, the server 100 can calculate the daily calorie requirement of the pet as shown in [Equation 1] or [Equation 2] below based on the received body information of the pet. If the pet's weight is between 2 kg and 45 kg, the server 100 can calculate the pet's daily calorie requirement using [Equation 1] or [Equation 2].

Additionally, if the pet's weight is less than 2kg and more than 45kg, the pet's daily calorie requirement can be calculated based on [Equation 1].

Weight refers to the pet's current weight. Factor refers to a preset value based on the pet's age, neutered status, and obesity status.

For example, the server 100 may determine the factor value to be a preset value corresponding to the number of months for a puppy less than 12 months old, and for an adult dog over 12 months old and overweight, the value of the factor may be set to the preset value of 1.4. You can decide. Additionally, the server 100 may determine the value of the factor based on whether or not an adult dog that is not obese has been neutered.

Factors can be expressed as shown in [Table 1] below based on the pet's age, neutered status, and obesity.

Factor 결정 요인Factor Determining factor			개dog	고양이cat

	비만 여부Obese or not?	과체중overweight	1.41.4	1One
	비만 여부Obese or not?	고도 비만severe obesity	1One	0.80.8

Additionally, in step 230, the server 100 may determine a first intake ratio for food and a second intake ratio for snacks included in the pet's diet according to the daily calorie requirement.

For your pet's health, it is important to feed the appropriate amount of food and snacks based on your pet's calorie needs. However, non-expert pet owners often provide unsuitable diets to their pets because it is difficult to calculate the appropriate amount of feed and snacks. The present invention can ensure that an appropriate amount of feed and snacks are provided to companion animals by determining the intake ratio of the feed and snacks included in the diet.

More specifically, the server 100 may analyze the nutritional components of feed and snacks based on the nutritional intake information of the companion animal received from the user terminal 200. Based on the analysis results, the server 100 compares the ratio of nutrients that the companion animal must consume with the nutrients contained in the feed to preferentially determine the first intake ratio for the feed, and determines the ratio of nutrients contained in the feed. The second intake ratio for snacks can be determined by considering insufficient nutrients. In addition, as a result of the analysis, if the ratio of nutrients in the current feed and snack is not appropriate for the pet's condition, a feed or snack composed of a ratio of nutrients suitable for the pet's health condition can be recommended.

For example, if the nutrient content or nutrient ratio of the feed and snack satisfies the nutrient content that the pet must consume, the server 100 determines the first intake ratio as 9 and the second intake ratio as 1. You can decide. Alternatively, if the crude protein content among the nutrients included in the feed does not reach the ratio of nutrients that the pet should consume, the server 100 determines the first intake ratio to be 8.5 and sets the second intake ratio of the snack to 8.5. By deciding on 1.5, you can determine the highest intake rate of snacks with high crude protein content among snacks and reduce the intake rate of the remaining snacks.

Additionally, the server 100 may determine a first intake ratio for food and a second intake ratio for snacks included in the pet's diet based on the degree of obesity of the pet.

For example, the server 100 may determine the first intake ratio of a companion animal whose body weight is within the normal range to be 9 and the second intake ratio to be 1. Meanwhile, if the server 100 determines that the pet's weight is overweight in step 220, the first intake ratio may be determined to be 9.2 and the second intake ratio may be determined to be 0.8, considering the nutritional components of the feed and snacks. Meanwhile, when the server 100 determines that the companion animal is severely obese, it may determine the first intake ratio as 10 and the second intake ratio as 0.

The values showing the first intake ratio and the second intake ratio are merely examples shown for convenience of explanation, and do not limit the values for each intake ratio.

In step 240, the server 100 may calculate the appropriate daily amount of the diet based on the first intake ratio and the second intake ratio.

The optimal daily feeding amount of the diet can be calculated for each feed and snack. In other words, the optimal daily feeding amount for feed can be calculated within the range of the daily required calories calculated in step 220, and the daily appropriate feeding amount for snacks can be calculated within the range of daily necessary calories.

The server 100 can calculate the appropriate daily amount of feed based on the daily calorie requirement, the first intake ratio, and the calories of the feed currently being fed to the companion animal. Likewise, the server 100 may calculate the appropriate daily amount of snacks to be fed based on the daily calorie requirement, the second intake ratio, and the calories of the snack currently being fed to the pet.

Calories of food and calories of snacks may be calculated based on the nutritional intake information of the companion animal or the product image of the food or snack received from the user terminal 200.

Additionally, the server 100 may determine the appropriate daily water intake based on the daily calorie requirement. The server 100 can calculate water intake by considering the moisture content contained in feed and snacks.

The specific method of calculating the appropriate daily feeding amount is explained in Figure 3.

Referring to FIG. 3, in step 310, the server 100 may calculate the intake rate of food and snacks included in the pet's diet based on the daily calorie requirement.

Step 310 of FIG. 3 is the same as step 230 of FIG. 2. Therefore, redundant descriptions will be omitted below.

The server 100 may determine the first intake ratio for feed and the second intake ratio for snacks by comparing the ratio of nutrients that the companion animal must consume with the nutrients of the feed and snacks currently being fed. In addition, the first intake ratio for food and the second intake ratio for snacks can be determined depending on the degree of obesity of the pet.

Additionally, the server 100 may determine the appropriate daily feeding amount based on the first intake ratio, the second intake ratio, and the daily calorie requirement.

In other words, the appropriate daily feeding amount can be determined for each of the feed included in the diet and the snacks included in the diet.

The optimal daily feeding amount for feed can be calculated based on [Equation 3] below.

Additionally, the optimal daily feeding amount for snacks can be calculated based on [Equation 4] below.

The daily calories requirement represents the value calculated in step 220 of FIG. 2, and the first intake ratio of [Equation 3] and the second intake ratio of [Equation 4] are step 230 of FIG. 2 and step 310 of FIG. 3. Indicates the value calculated from . In addition, the feed calories in [Equation 3] and the snack calories in [Equation 4] are calories from the food and snacks currently being fed to the pet, based on the pet's nutritional intake information received from the user terminal 200. It can be calculated as follows.

In step 320, the server 100 may calculate the appropriate amount of water based on the appropriate daily calories and determine the appropriate daily water intake considering feed and snacks.

The server 100 may determine the appropriate amount of water in response to the appropriate daily calories.

For example, if the daily optimal calories are 3500 kcal, the appropriate amount of water can be determined as 3500 ml. However, the appropriate daily water intake must take into account the water content contained in feed and snacks.

In the case of feed, it can be largely divided into dry samples and wet feed. Since the moisture content of dry feed and wet feed is different from each other, the optimal daily water intake may vary depending on the type of feed. Accordingly, the server 100 can calculate the moisture content from the nutrients contained in the feed and snacks and remove the moisture content contained in the feed and snacks from the appropriate amount of water to determine the appropriate daily water intake according to the pet's diet. .

In step 330, the server 100 may determine the appropriate number of feeding times for the companion animal and determine the appropriate amount of feeding per time based on the determined number of feeding times.

More specifically, the server 100 may consider the age and weight of the pet received from the user terminal 200 and match the appropriate number of feedings of the pet preset in the server 100.

The server 100 may determine the appropriate number of feedings by considering the age and weight of the pet received from the user terminal 200.

For example, if the pet is a puppy less than 12 months old, the server 100 may determine the appropriate number of feedings based on the number of months. The server 100 may determine the appropriate number of feedings per day for puppies under 4 months of age to be 4, the appropriate number of feedings per day for puppies from 5 to 8 months of age may be determined as 3, and the appropriate number of feedings per day for puppies from 8 to 12 months of age may be determined as 3. The appropriate number of feedings per day can be determined as two.

In addition, if the pet is an adult dog, the optimal number of feedings per day is determined as two, and in the case of senior dogs and older dogs, the optimal number of feedings per day can be determined by considering weight and age. Although puppies and dogs are used as examples, the standard for the appropriate number of times a companion animal is fed preset in the server 100 is not limited to dogs and dogs.

In step 340, the server 100 may subdivide the daily appropriate feeding amount based on the one-time appropriate feeding amount.

Diet for pets can be produced. The server 100 divides the daily optimal feeding amount for feed, the daily appropriate feeding amount for snacks, and the appropriate daily water intake into portions based on the number of feedings to determine the appropriate one-time feeding amount for feed and the appropriate one-time feeding amount for snacks. , you can determine the appropriate amount of water intake per time.

In addition, the server 100 packages the feed, snacks, and water included in the diet in small portions based on the determined optimal feeding amount for the feed, the appropriate feeding amount for the snack, and the appropriate water intake for the one time, and displays the food, snacks, and water in small portions at the user terminal (200). ) can be decided to deliver to a pre-set delivery address.

In step 350, the server 100 may deliver and supply the divided menu to a preset delivery address of the user terminal 200.

The server 100 provides the user terminal with at least one subdivided menu corresponding to an appropriate feeding amount based on at least one of the regular delivery date cycle, regular delivery number, and plurality of regular delivery date information received from the user terminal 200. Delivery can be made to the pre-set delivery address. The server 100 may match a delivery company, communicate with the delivery company terminal 300, and deliver the divided menu to a preset delivery address of the user terminal 200.

In other words, food, snacks, and water can be packaged in small portions to suit the amount of food fed to the pet for one meal and provided to the user.

In addition, based on the age or weight of the pet that changes over time, the server 100 provides notifications to the user terminal 200 about the changed daily appropriate feeding amount, the changed appropriate one-time feeding amount, and the changed feeding frequency to provide continuous support. You can ensure that your pet's diet is managed.

For example, the server 100 can provide an appropriate one-time feeding amount calculated by considering the number of months and weight of a puppy under 12 months old, and the user terminal 200 can feed a puppy suitable for adult dog standards before the 12-month period arrives. It can provide notifications to change to the appropriate feeding amount per time and recommend feed or snacks suitable for adult dog standards.

Referring to FIG. 4 , the screen of the user terminal 200 may include a body information input area 410, a nutritional information input area 420, and a daily calorie calculation area 430.

The server 100 may receive information about the companion animal from the body information input area 410 and the nutritional information input area 420. More specifically, the pet's age, weight, gender, neutered status, breed, obesity status, etc. can be received from the physical information input area 410.

The server 100 can receive information about whether the pet is obese through the body information input area 410, and can determine whether the pet is obese based on the received age, weight, and breed of the pet. Alternatively, obesity may be determined based on the pet image received from the user terminal 200.

For example, if the user fails to input whether the pet is obese in the physical information input area 410 because the user does not know exactly whether the pet is obese, the server 100 records the received age, weight, and breed of the pet. ) can be used to determine obesity by comparing it with the standard weight for each breed stored in . Alternatively, based on the received image of the companion animal, the skeleton and body shape of the companion animal can be analyzed and the presence or absence of obesity can be determined.

Additionally, the server 100 may receive information 421 about the diet currently being fed to the pet, feeding pattern/frequency, feeding amount, water intake of the pet, etc. from the nutritional information input area 420.

The information 421 about the diet may include information about each feed and snack. More specifically, it can include information about the brand, product name, and nutritional ingredients of the food and snacks currently being fed to pets.

In the case of direct input, the server 100 can provide a list of brands and product names of feed and snacks to the user terminal 200, and can provide a list of brands and product names of feed and snacks currently being fed based on the brands and product names received from the user terminal 200. You can determine the nutritional components of feed and snacks.

Additionally, the server 100 may analyze received product images of feed and snacks (e.g., feed and snack packaging, nutritional information table, etc.) to extract nutritional components.

The feeding pattern may include providing food at a certain time to the pet, or providing the food again later if the pet does not consume the food when feeding the pet.

The server 100 may calculate the required daily calories based on information received from the body information input area 410 and the nutritional information input area 420.

The calculated daily calories required may be displayed on the user terminal 200 through the daily calories required calculation area 430 .

In addition, the server 100 can calculate an appropriate daily feeding amount that reflects the first intake ratio for feed and the second intake ratio for snacks, based on the calculated daily calorie requirement, and the age and weight of the pet. Taking this into account, the appropriate number of payments can be determined. The server 100 can calculate the appropriate one-time feeding amount based on the appropriate daily feeding amount and the appropriate number of feedings.

Referring to FIG. 5, the server 100 uses the information received from the body information input area 410 and the nutritional information input area 420 of FIG. 4 and the daily calories required calculated from the daily calories required calculation area 430. Based on this, diet management services can be provided.

The screen of the user terminal 200 may include a nutritional status analysis area 510 and an opening solution area 520.

The nutritional status analysis area 510 can analyze problems with the pet's current nutritional intake and feeding pattern based on information received from the body information input area 410 and the nutritional information input area 420.

The server 100 determines whether the amount of feed and snacks currently being fed is appropriate based on the daily required calories, and determines whether the water intake is appropriate based on the daily required calories and the moisture content contained in the feed and snacks. You can. Additionally, problems with the feeding pattern can be derived by comparing the appropriate number of feedings calculated based on the information received from the physical information input area 410 and the nutritional information input area 420 with the current number of feedings.

For example, if the calories B of the food currently being fed are not included within the preset range of the daily required calories A, the server 100 may determine that the nutritional supply of the companion animal is insufficient. Additionally, the server 100 may determine that the water intake of the pet is appropriate if the pet's water intake is within the appropriate intake range calculated based on the daily required calories A.

The opening solution area 520 may include the optimal daily feeding amount 521 of the diet reflecting the daily required calories and the first intake ratio for feed and the second intake ratio for snacks. Additionally, a solution 522 for improving problems analyzed through the nutritional status analysis area 510 may be included.

The solution 522 may include the appropriate one-time feeding amount calculated by the server 100.

The server 100 determines the appropriate feeding amount per time based on the optimal daily feeding amount (521) of the diet reflecting the first intake ratio and the second intake ratio for snacks, determined in consideration of the pet's age and weight. can calculate

Additionally, the server 100 may subdivide the daily appropriate feeding amount based on the one-time appropriate feeding amount. In other words, the server 100 can divide the pet's diet into portions for each of the food, snacks, and water included in the diet based on the appropriate feeding amount per time.

In addition, the server 100 can match a delivery company and communicate with the delivery company terminal 300 to deliver and supply a divided diet of food, snacks, and water to the preset delivery address of the user terminal 200.

Additionally, when the subdivided diet is delivered to the preset delivery address, the server 100 may provide a notification to feed the subdivided diet to the user terminal 200 based on the preset time and appropriate number of feedings. .

The server 600 of FIG. 6 may be the server 100 of FIG. 1 .
