The muzzle device (500) may be a muzzle device (muzzle) provided to be worn on a specific area of ​​the body (especially the face area) of the target animal (2). Additionally, the user (21), who is the guardian of the target animal (2), may access the device (10) through, for example, a user terminal (20), and then purchase the muzzle device (500) by paying an amount corresponding to a pre-set sales price for the muzzle device (500), and apply (wear) the purchased muzzle device (500) to the target animal (2). At this time, the control unit (10d) within the device (10) can make payment (purchase) based on a pre-configured payment process described later when a purchase signal to purchase the mouthpiece device (500) is detected from the user terminal (20).

[0069] The description of the mouthpiece device (500) can be more easily understood by referring to FIG. 3. In describing the mouthpiece device (500) below with reference to FIG. 3, for convenience of explanation, the 8 o'clock to 2 o'clock direction will be referred to as the front-back direction and the 11 o'clock to 5 o'clock direction as the up-down direction, but it is not limited to these.

[0070] Referring to FIG. 3, the muzzle device (500) may be a wearable device (device) that is provided to be worn on a part of the body (particularly the face) of the target animal (2) to enable health and disease management of the target animal (2).

[0071] The present mouthpiece device (500) may include a mouthpiece member (501), a binding member (502), a vital sensor part (503), a device controller part (504), a diagnostic member for disease detection (505), a first pressure sensor (506a) and a second pressure sensor (506b), a tightening member (507), a first button (508a) and a second button (508b), and a storage part (509).

[0072] The muzzle member (501) may be provided to cover the face (specifically, one area of ​​the face) including the nose and mouth of the target animal (2). The muzzle member (501) may be made of a flexible material that, for example, undergoes shape deformation when an external force by the user (21) is applied to its outer surface, and returns to its original state when no external force is applied. The muzzle member (501) may be formed in a shape such as a cylinder. Additionally, the outer surface of the muzzle member (501) may be provided in a mesh form having multiple holes, for example, to allow the target animal (2) to breathe smoothly.

[0073] Additionally, the muzzle member (501) is provided to have an internal receiving space, but the rear end of the muzzle member (501) may be provided to be open, and accordingly, the face of the target animal (2) is received in the receiving space through the open rear end, thereby enabling the wearing of the muzzle device (500) on the target animal (2).

[0074] A binding member (502) may be provided to be connected to the rear end of a muzzle member (501) in order to bind the muzzle member (501) to the face of the target animal (2). The binding member (502) may, for example, be a string material member having a certain elasticity, and may include a length adjustment member capable of adjusting the length of the binding member (502). The shape and structure of the binding member (502) and the muzzle member (501) are not limited only to the shape and structure shown in FIG. 3, and the shape and structure of a conventional muzzle may be applied in the same way.

[0075] The vital sensor unit (503) is provided in a portion of the muzzle member (501) (particularly, a portion of the inner surface of the muzzle member that contacts the face of the target animal) to measure vital sign information of the target animal (2). The vital sensor unit (503) may refer to a sensor capable of measuring vital signs (biosignals) of the target animal (2), including body temperature, respiration, pulse, heart rate, and blood pressure, as vital sign information. To this end, the vital sensor unit (503) may include various types of sensors capable of measuring (sensing) vital sign signals (biosignals), such as a body temperature measuring sensor and a respiration measuring sensor.

[0076] The device controller unit (504) performs an analysis of the health risk of the target animal (2) based on vital sign information of the target animal (2) measured by the vital sensor unit (503), and if a health risk signal is detected as a result of the analysis, it can generate a risk alarm information and transmit it to a user terminal (20) that is already registered in the storage unit (509). To this end, the device controller unit (504) may include, for example, an analysis unit (not shown) that analyzes the state of the health risk of the target animal (2) based on the vital sign information of the target animal (2).

[0077] For example, after purchasing the muzzle device (500), the user (21) may pre-register the mobile phone number of the user terminal (20) in the storage unit (509), and through this, various information (data) provided by the muzzle device (500) can be received by the user terminal (20). However, this is not limited to this, and data (information) can be transmitted and received between the user terminal (20) and the muzzle device (500) through a connection such as Bluetooth, among the network (50).

[0078] The device controller unit (504) can control the operation of various components of the mouthpiece device (500). The device controller unit (504) is linked with the user terminal (20) and the network (50) to transmit and receive data, and can control the operation of the mouthpiece device (500) according to a control signal provided from the user terminal (20) or the device (10) as needed.

[0079] In the muzzle device (500), a vital sensor unit (503) capable of measuring (sensing, checking) vital sign information of the target animal (2) may be provided (placed, mounted, equipped) in a portion of the inner surface of the muzzle member (501), which is the part that the face of the target animal (2) touches when the muzzle device (500) is worn. By wearing the muzzle device (500) on the target animal (2), the muzzle device (500) can measure (sens) the vital sign information of the target animal (2) (e.g., body temperature, respiration, pulse, blood pressure, etc.) in real time through the vital sensor unit (503), and the device controller unit (504) can provide the measured vital sign information to the user terminal (20) in real time, so that the user (21) can check the health status of their pet target animal (2) in real time through the user terminal (20).

[0080] When performing a health risk analysis, the device controller (504) determines that a health risk signal (i.e., a signal indicating that the health is in a dangerous state) has been detected in the target animal (2) when, for example, the numerical value of vital sign information measured through the vital sensor (503) is measured to be outside the normal allowable value range set based on a predefined normal value range, and subsequently generates and transmits risk alarm information to the user terminal (20).

[0081] Here, the upper limit of the normal allowable value range is set by adding the value derived by multiplying the upper limit of the predefined normal value range by a certain ratio (e.g., 10%), and the lower limit of the normal allowable value range can be set by subtracting the value derived by multiplying the lower limit of the predefined normal value range by a certain ratio (e.g., 10%).

[0082] For example, if the target animal (2) is a dog, the normal range for the heart rate may be defined as 60 beats or more and 80 beats or less, and the respiratory rate may be defined as 15 beats or more and 30 beats or less. In this case, the normal allowable range for the target animal (2) may be set as 54 beats or more and 88 beats or less for the heart rate. Additionally, the normal allowable range for the target animal (2) may be set as 13.5 beats or more and 33 beats or less for the respiratory rate.

[0083] These normal range values ​​may be defined differently for each type of vital sign information and for each characteristic information of the target animal (2) (e.g., type, size, age, etc. of the target animal), and may be information derived by performing statistical analysis, big data analysis, etc. on vital sign information of various animals obtained through data collection (web crawling) on ​​the web.

[0084] That is, as described above, the device controller (504) can perform a health risk analysis of the target animal (2) based on the measured vital sign information of the target animal (2). If the measured vital sign information differs by more than 10% from the usual range (i.e., if there is a greater difference than the range set as 'normal'), it is determined that a health risk signal has been detected because an abnormality has occurred in the health of the target animal (2), and subsequently, a risk alarm information can be generated and transmitted (provided) to the user terminal (20). The user (21) can receive and check the risk alarm information through the app installed on the user terminal (20).

[0085] Additionally, for example, the device controller unit (504) can check (monitor, check) the brain pressure information of the target animal (2) in real time based on vital sign information measured in real time through the vital sensor unit (503). At this time, if the confirmed brain pressure information falls within a pre-set brain pressure risk range (i.e., when it reaches the pre-set brain pressure risk range), it is analyzed that there is a risk of stroke (disease) in the target animal (2) (i.e., it is determined that a health risk signal has been detected as a result of performing the health risk analysis), and subsequently, information such as ‘high brain pressure level, risk of stroke’ can be transmitted to the user terminal (20) as risk alarm information. Through this, the user (21) can confirm and recognize (recognize) that there is a risk of stroke in the target animal (2) through the risk alarm information.

[0086] A diagnostic component (505) for disease detection may be provided in a portion of the inner surface of the muzzle component (501) to diagnose whether the target animal (2) is infected with a disease. The diagnostic component (505) for disease detection may be a component (e.g., a filter component, a device, etc.) capable of diagnosing whether the target animal (2) is infected with a disease based on secretions (saliva, saliva, breath (gas)) of the target animal (2). Here, the secretions may include, for example, at least one of saliva, saliva, and breath (gas) of the target animal (2).

[0087] A diagnostic component (505) for disease detection may be configured such that, for example, when contacted with secretions from a target animal infected with a disease, the color (the color of the filter corresponding to the diagnostic component for disease detection) changes from a first color to a second color (a second color different from the first color). That is, the diagnostic component (505) for disease detection may be configured to have a first color (e.g., white) when contacted with secretions from a target animal not infected with a disease, and may be configured (changed) to a second color (e.g., orange) when contacted with secretions from a target animal infected with a disease. Here, the disease may include, for example, coronavirus, influenza, rabies, skin disease, etc., but is not limited thereto and may include various types of diseases. For example, the diagnostic component (505) for disease detection may include a diagnostic component in the form of a coronavirus diagnostic device, or a gas concentration measuring sensor component capable of measuring the concentration of gas (methane gas).

[0088] The device controller (504) can diagnose whether the target animal (2) is infected with a disease based on the state change information (particularly, color change information) of the disease detection diagnostic member (505), and if it is diagnosed as being infected with a disease, it can generate disease diagnosis information and provide it to the user terminal (20). For example, the disease diagnosis information may be such as 'diagnosed as having rabies'.

[0089] According to this, the muzzle device (500) may have a disease detection diagnostic member (505) provided (installed, mounted) inside the muzzle member (501). The disease detection diagnostic member (505) may be a member provided to diagnose whether the target animal (2) has a disease. The disease detection diagnostic member (505) can detect (measure) whether the target animal (2) has a disease based on contact with the target animal's saliva, spit, breath (gas), etc., when the target animal (2) comes into contact with it. For example, the device controller (504) may generate, for example, danger alarm information as disease diagnosis information and provide it to the user terminal (20) when the concentration of methane gas measured by the gas concentration measuring sensor member within the disease detection diagnostic member (505) is above a preset threshold value. Additionally, the device controller (504) can diagnose (determine) whether the target animal (2) has contracted a disease such as coronavirus, influenza, or rabies through a disease detection diagnostic member (505), and then provide the diagnosis result (i.e., disease diagnosis information) to the user terminal (20) so that the user (21) can recognize it.

[0090] Additionally, when the target animal (2)'s saliva, breath, etc. comes into contact with the filter, the color of the filter may change from a first color to a second color if the target animal (2) is infected with a disease, and through this, it may be possible to confirm whether the target animal (2) is infected with a disease through the disease detection diagnostic member (505). For example, if the color of the disease detection diagnostic member (505) changes from white to orange, the device controller (504) can diagnose that the target animal (2) has contracted COVID-19 as a disease, and based on this, can generate information such as 'the target animal (2) has contracted COVID-19' as disease diagnosis information and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0091] Additionally, the device controller (504) can provide, for example, to the user terminal (20) a customized solution generated based on the current status information of the target animal (2) when transmitting the risk alarm information and the disease diagnosis information (when transmitting to the user terminal (20)).

[0092] At this time, the device controller (504) may provide information on a disease treatment animal hospital capable of treating the disease currently contracted by the target animal (2) among a plurality of animal hospitals (360) as a customized solution. Additionally, if the target animal (2) currently has multiple diseases, the device controller (504) may provide information on an animal hospital that specializes in treating each of the multiple diseases currently contracted by the target animal (2) as a customized solution (i.e., information on an animal hospital capable of treating each of the multiple diseases currently contracted by the target animal). At this time, when the device controller (504) provides information on a disease treatment animal hospital, it may provide information on an animal hospital located within a certain radius from the current location of the user terminal (20) based on the GPS information of the user terminal (20) (i.e., information on an animal hospital located close to the user's current location).

[0093] Additionally, a pair of pressure sensors (506a, 506b) may be provided (arranged) in the rear end inner surface area corresponding to the rear end of the inner surface of the mouthpiece member (501), facing each other in the vertical direction. That is, a first pressure sensor (506a) may be provided in the upper direction of the rear end inner surface area, and a second pressure sensor (506a) may be provided in the lower direction of the rear end inner surface area.

[0094] Additionally, a tightening member (507) may be provided on the outer surface of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501) along the circumferential direction to wrap around the outer surface of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501). The tightening member (507) may include, for example, a string member provided to wrap around the outer surface of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501), and a tightening control module that enables the size of the open area (open entrance) of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501) to be adjusted through length adjustment (i.e., tightening adjustment) of the string member. The tightening control module may be provided to be fixedly coupled to a portion of the outer surface of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501) and may be provided to be connected to the string member. The string member may be provided to be detachable from the main surface of the rear end of the mouthpiece member (501). The string member may be provided with a material such as a rubber band, for example, but is not limited thereto.

[0095] The tightening control module can automatically adjust the length of the string member according to the control signal of the device controller (504), and by adjusting the length of the string member, the tightening strength (tightening level) of the rear end of the muzzle member (501) on the face of the target animal (2) can be adjusted.

[0096] Additionally, a pair of buttons (508a, 508b) spaced apart in the vertical direction may be provided on the outer surface of the mouthpiece member (501). A first button (508a) may be provided in an area in the upper direction of the outer surface of the mouthpiece member (501), and a second button (508b) may be provided in an area in the lower direction of the outer surface of the mouthpiece member (501). The first button (508a) and the second button (508b) may be provided as push buttons or as touch buttons.

[0097] For example, when the device controller (504) detects that the user (21) has simultaneously entered input (press input, or touch input) on the first button (508a) and the second button (508b) (i.e., detects that the user has simultaneously pressed the first button and the second button), it recognizes (determines) that a tightening request signal has been generated by the user (21), and can control the tightening member (507) in a tightening mode in response to the tightening request signal. At this time, the tightening mode may mean a mode in which the length of the string member within the tightening member (507) is reduced until both of the two pressure measurement values ​​obtained from the first pressure sensor (506a) and the second pressure sensor (506b), respectively, are measured as preset pressure values.

[0098] That is, the device controller (504) can control the tightening member (507) to a tightening mode when the tightening request signal occurs, and in response to the control of the tightening mode, the tightening control module within the tightening member (507) can adjust the length of the string member so that the length of the string member within the tightening member (507) is reduced until a preset pressure value is measured from each of the first pressure sensor (506a) and the second pressure sensor (506b).

[0099] In this way, the tightening member (507) can automatically adjust (reduce) the length of the strap member so that the pressure value set by the two pressure sensors (506a, 506b) is measured when in tightening mode, so that the muzzle device (500) is not worn too loosely or too tightly on the target animal (2), and as a result, the target animal (2) does not feel discomfort when wearing the muzzle device (500), while the muzzle device (500) is not easily removed from the target animal (2), thereby providing safety. In addition, this muzzle device (500) can provide convenience to the user by allowing the user (21) to perform input by simultaneously pressing (touching) two buttons (508a, 508b), thereby automatically adjusting the tightening strength of the muzzle member (501) for the target animal (2) to an appropriate level through simple input (i.e., automatically adjusting so that the rear end of the muzzle member (501) is tightened only to a tightening strength corresponding to a preset pressure value).

[0100] Meanwhile, the device controller (504), for example, can recognize (determine) that a tightening stop request signal has been generated by the user (21) when it is detected that the user (21) has made an input (press input or touch input) to only one of the first button (508a) and the second button (508b) (i.e., when it is detected that the user has pressed the first button or the second button), and can control the tightening mode of the tightening member (507) to be stopped (released) in response to the tightening stop request signal. When the tightening mode is stopped, the tightening member (507) can be restored to the state prior to the tightening mode being performed. That is, when the tightening mode is stopped, the tightening member (507) can adjust (increase) the length of the string member so that the length of the string member increases again. When the tightening mode is stopped, the muzzle device (500) may be in a state where it can be easily removed from the target animal (2).

[0101] In this way, when the user presses two buttons (508a, 508b) simultaneously, the muzzle device (500) can control the tightening member (507) to a tightening mode so that the open area (open entrance) of the rear end of the muzzle member (501) is automatically tightened to a predetermined strength, thereby allowing the muzzle device (500) to be stably worn (mounted) on the target animal (2). On the other hand, when either of the two buttons (508a, 508b) is pressed, the tightening mode of the tightening member (507) is released so that the open area of ​​the rear end of the muzzle member (501) is widened again and loosened, thereby allowing the muzzle device (500) to be easily separated from the target animal (2).

[0102] In addition, the muzzle device (500) may be manufactured (made) in a customized manner for the target animal (2) by taking into account the physical examination result information for the target animal (2) obtained from at least one of the user terminal (20) and the device (10).

[0103] In particular, the material of the contact member that comes into contact with the target animal (2) in the muzzle device (500) may be determined and applied differently by taking into account the results of a physical examination of the target animal (2). More specifically, the material of the contact member may be determined and applied differently by taking into account the information regarding the presence of a metal allergy in the target animal (2) identified through the results of a physical examination of the target animal (2) (especially, genetic test results) and the level of metal sensitivity of the target animal (2).

[0104] Here, the contact member refers to a member of the part of the muzzle device (500) that comes into direct contact with the skin of the target animal (2) (i.e., the member of the direct contact part), and, for example, may include a member corresponding to the rear end of the muzzle member (501) within the muzzle device (500) (a member of the rear end area) and the inner surface of the binding member (502). In addition, the material of the contact member may, for example, mean a gold content. Furthermore, the level information of metal sensitivity described above may include, for example, i) 'low level information' which is a first level information corresponding to a first sensitivity range that is pre-set, ii) 'normal level information' which is a second level information corresponding to a second sensitivity range that is pre-set and has a value greater than the value of the first sensitivity range, and iii) 'high level information' which is a third level information corresponding to a third sensitivity range that is pre-set and has a value greater than the value of the second sensitivity range.

[0105] According to the above description, the contact member of the muzzle device (500) may be manufactured to be individually customized for the target animal (2) by applying a different gold content as the material of the contact member, taking into account the presence of metal allergy and the level of metal sensitivity identified through the physical examination result information (especially, genetic test result information) of the target animal (2) regarding the part that comes into direct contact with the skin of the target animal (2).

[0106] As a specific example, the contact member of the present muzzle device (500) may be manufactured by applying a gold content of 24K (pure gold), which is a higher content value than the standard content (e.g., 18K), to the contact member when i) the presence of a metal allergy of the target animal (2) identified from the genetic test result information of the target animal (2) is identified as 'present' and the level information of the metal sensitivity of the target animal (2) is identified as a third level information (i.e., high level information). As another example, the contact member of the present muzzle device (500) may be manufactured by applying a gold content of 14K, which is lower than the standard content (e.g., 18K), or by applying the standard content of 18K, when ii) the presence of a metal allergy of the target animal (2) identified from the genetic test result information of the target animal (2) is identified as 'present' and the level information of the metal sensitivity of the target animal (2) is identified as a first level information (i.e., low level information).

[0107] Thus, the present invention can produce a custom-made muzzle device (500) for a target animal (2) by appropriately applying the gold content according to the condition of the target animal (2) based on the genetic test result information of the target animal (2), and provide it to the user (21).

[0108] Meanwhile, the animal emergency support vehicle (600) may refer to an animal emergency support vehicle provided by the emergency support unit (10b'') included in the solution providing unit (10b) within the device (10) when it is determined that the target animal (2) requires emergency support. Such an animal emergency support vehicle (600) may include, for example, an animal drone ambulance (610) capable of moving in the air and an animal-only ambulance (620) capable of moving on the ground, as illustrated in FIG. 1c, and the description thereof will be explained in more detail later.

[0109] Multiple animal hospitals (360) may refer to hospitals dedicated to animals (specialized) that perform medical examinations, treatments (surgeries), etc., on animals. Multiple animal hospitals (360) may include hospitals dedicated to animals (specialized) capable of treating various types of diseases for at least one type of animal among various types of animals. The device (10) may provide information on at least some of the animal hospitals among the multiple animal hospitals (360) to the user terminal (20). For example, when a user (21) selects a specific animal hospital, the device may control the operation of the animal ambulance support vehicle (600) provided to the target animal (2) so that the vehicle automatically moves to the specific animal hospital selected by the user (21) after carrying the target animal (2), thereby providing an animal-dedicated ambulance support service to the user (21). A detailed explanation of this will be provided later.

[0110] A more detailed description of the device (10) is as follows. Referring again to FIGS. 1 to 3, the device (10) may include a constitution test management unit (10a), a test DB (10a'), a solution provision unit (10b), a hotel service provision unit (10c), a control unit (10d), an animal data processing unit (10e), and a data receiving unit (10f). At this time, the solution provision unit (10b) may include a product manufacturing provision unit (10b') and an emergency support unit (10b''). The constitution test management unit (10a) may obtain constitution test result information of the target animal (2) raised by the user (21) by conducting a constitution test on a target animal (2) among a plurality of types of animals including large animals and small animals.

[0111] Here, the constitution test result information may include allergy test result information, hair test result information, genetic test result information, and basic information for the target animal (2). In other words, the constitution test performed on the target animal (2) may include multiple types of constitution tests, including allergy tests (e.g., food allergy tests), hair tests, genetic tests, and health check-up tests. The basic information may be information derived through the health check-up test.

[0112] For example, the constitutional examination management unit (10a) may provide a notification to the user terminal (20) to induce a constitutional examination for the target animal (2) to proceed through a constitutional examination device (equipment) provided in one area of ​​the animal hospital. Afterwards, the user (21) may respond to the provided notification to induce a constitutional examination, bring the target animal (2) to the animal hospital, and conduct a constitutional examination for the target animal (2) through the constitutional examination device (equipment) provided in one area of ​​the animal hospital. Afterwards, the constitutional examination result information of the target animal (2) generated through the constitutional examination device may be stored, for example, in the user terminal (20). Afterwards, in order to receive a customized solution for the target animal (2) from the device (10), the user (21) may upload the constitutional examination result information of the target animal (2) that has been stored in their user terminal (20) to the device (10) via the user terminal (20). Accordingly, the constitution test management unit (10a) can obtain the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) from the user terminal (20).

[0113] The user (21) may request the provision of a customized solution to the device (10) by uploading the results of a physical examination, and the device (10) may respond to the request by analyzing the results of the physical examination obtained from the user terminal (20) to derive the current status information of the target animal (2), and generate a customized solution based on the derived current status information and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0114] Here, the constitutional examination device (equipment) provided in one area of ​​the animal hospital may include, for example, genetic testing equipment, hair testing equipment, allergy testing equipment, and health checkup testing equipment for measuring basic information (for example, a weighing scale, a thermometer, etc.). For example, the constitutional examination device (equipment) may include, for example, an animal data acquisition device (350).

[0115] The constitution test management unit (10a) can store and manage the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) obtained from the user terminal (20), for example, in the test DB (10a').

[0116] The solution providing unit (10b) can analyze at least one of the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) obtained from the constitution test management unit (10a) and the data regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f) to derive current state information of the target animal (2) (current health state information, current state information related to the health of the target animal), and generate a customized solution including prescription information based on the derived current state information and provide it to the user terminal (20). For example, the data regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f) may include the constitution test result information of the target animal (2). The constitution test result information of the target animal (2) may include allergy test result information, hair test result information, genetic test result information, and basic information regarding the target animal (2).

[0117] <Regarding Genetic Testing>

[0118] Specifically, the genetic test among the constitutional tests on the target animal (2) conducted by the constitutional test management department (10a) may be conducted to achieve at least one of the following test purposes: a first test purpose to confirm diseases with a high incidence rate, a second test purpose to find each dominant gene species on the target animal (2) and create a superior breed through dominant gene rearrangement, and a third test purpose to create a superior breed with a desired goal of the user (21).

[0119] Here, the third inspection objective may be, for example, to create a superior dairy cow that produces a lot of milk (desired objective), to create a racehorse that races well (desired objective), or to create a Hanwoo (beef cattle) with good marbling (desired objective). Additionally, diseases with a high incidence rate in relation to the first inspection objective may include, for example, if the target animal (2) is a cow, bovine ringworm (i.e., an infectious disease caused by fungi occurring in cows), and if the target animal (2) is a pig, swine vesicular disease.

[0120] According to this, when a genetic test is performed on a target animal (2), the genetic test result information may include whether a disease with a high incidence rate exists in the target animal (2), information on the possibility of a specific disease occurring, and information on the dominant gene species.

[0121] The solution providing unit (10b) can generate and provide to the user terminal (20) a customized solution, such as "prescription information for preventive medicine and vaccine prescription for the prevention of specific diseases (e.g., prescription information such as 'It appears there is a possibility of developing cattle ringworm') as a result of analyzing the genetic test result information among the physical examination result information of the target animal (2), for example, when the current condition information of the target animal (2) is determined to be 'possibility of developing a specific disease (e.g., cattle ringworm)'.

[0122] As another example, when information regarding a desired superior breed is entered in relation to a target animal (2) at the user terminal (20), the solution providing unit (10b) can generate a customized solution including prescription information based on the entered information regarding the desired superior breed and the current status information of the target animal (2) derived through analysis, and provide it to the user terminal (20). Here, the information regarding the desired superior breed is information about the superior breed desired by the user (21), and may be, for example, "making a dairy cow that provides high-quality milk," "making a Hanwoo with good marbling," etc. In this way, when information regarding the desired superior breed is entered, the solution providing unit (10b) can generate and provide a customized solution including, for example, prescription information for a superior breed for a specific purpose, such as prescription information. For example, if the information regarding the desired superior breed is "making a dairy cow that provides high-quality milk," the solution providing unit (10b) can generate a customized solution including prescription information such as "prescribe and feed folic acid and iron" and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0123] Regarding hair testing

[0124] Hair examination during a physical examination of a target animal (2) conducted by the physical examination management department (10a) may be performed to achieve at least one of the following examination purposes: a first examination purpose to determine the mineral content of the animal at different life stages, a second examination purpose to determine the external environment of the animal and the heavy metals added to the feed, and a third examination purpose to determine the antibiotic and heavy metal content of the livestock due to antibiotic administration.

[0125] According to this, when a hair test is performed on the target animal (2), the hair test result information may include information on mineral content by the animal's lifespan, information on the animal's external environment, information on whether heavy metals are added to the feed, and information on antibiotic content and heavy metal content due to antibiotic administration.

[0126] For example, the solution provider (10b) can generate a customized solution and provide it to the user terminal (20) if, as a result of analyzing the hair test result information, the current state information is determined to be 'a rapid decrease in calcium and phosphorus content after the cow gives birth', and the prescription information corresponding thereto includes 'prescription information for medicine with high calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium content (e.g., prescription information such as "Since the calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium content must be increased, please feed medicine a to the target cow (2)").

[0127] As another example, if the current status information is derived as ‘the content of harmful heavy metals, such as arsenic and cadmium, in the target animal (2), a dairy cow, is high, exceeding a preset threshold,’ the solution providing unit (10b) can generate a customized solution such as ‘it is necessary to create a customized livestock barn by adding minerals that can mitigate heavy metals, such as potassium and copper, to the soil inside the barn’ and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0128] For example, the solution providing unit (10b) may be able to derive information on the antibiotic content based on the number of antibiotic administrations and information on side effects caused by the antibiotic content as current status information of the target animal (2) when performing a hair test on the target animal (2), which is a pig that must be administered antibiotics frequently in the neck due to various causes, before shipment. In this case, the solution providing unit (10b) may generate and provide a customized solution based on the derived current status information, including prescription information such as, for example, 'it is necessary to manufacture a patch that lowers the antibiotic content based on the antibiotic content and a health supplement utilizing the herbal medicine ingredient Angelica gigas.'

[0129] <Regarding Allergy Testing>

[0130] In the present invention, allergy may be referred to as allergy, etc., and may mean, for example, food allergy, etc.

[0131] The allergy test for the target animal (2), which is conducted by the physical examination management department (10a), may be conducted to perform quality control for the cows, pigs, etc. that go out as meat, and to perform quality control of the milk through allergy testing in the case of dairy cows.

[0132] When conducting an allergy test on a target animal (2), the allergy test result information may include information on the type (component) of allergy that the target animal (2) has.

[0133] For example, if the target animal (2) is a dairy cow and the dairy cow is found to have an allergy to a specific food, the allergens present in the dairy cow may be transferred to the milk when milk is extracted from the dairy cow, and this may cause problems for people who consume the milk (especially young children with weak immune systems). Therefore, it is necessary to manage quality by conducting allergy tests on the dairy cow to ensure that the dairy cow does not consume the allergens.

[0134] Accordingly, the solution providing unit (10b) can generate and provide a customized solution that includes prescription information such as, "Food A causes allergic symptoms, so feed the target animal (2) food B instead of food A," as prescription information corresponding to the current state information derived from the analysis of allergy test result information. That is, when specific allergic symptoms are found in the target animal (2), the solution providing unit (10b) can generate and provide a customized solution that includes prescription information such as information on other foods containing nutrients that can replace specific allergy components, or information on feed that adds minerals to ensure a smooth supply of nutrients (i.e., customized feed information).

[0135] In this way, the solution providing unit (10b) can derive, for example, information on diseases with a high incidence rate in the future (i.e., information on diseases judged to have a high incidence rate in the future) by considering the current state information of the target animal (2) through the analysis of genetic test result information, and based on this, can provide functional ingredient prescription information as a customized solution to the user terminal (20). In addition, the solution providing unit (10b) can derive, for example, information on whether heavy metals have been consumed and information on mineral deficiencies as current state information of the target animal (2) through the analysis of hair test result information, and based on this, can provide prescription information related to mineral and heavy metal prevention as a customized solution to the user terminal (20).

[0136] Additionally, the solution providing unit (10b) can derive, for example, allergy food (ingredient) information as current status information of the target animal (2) through the analysis of allergy test result information, and based on this, can provide information regarding allergy avoidance ingredients (ingredients, food) as a customized solution to the user terminal (20).

[0137] Additionally, the basic information included in the physical examination result information may include, for example, at least one of the type, external size, and weight of the target animal (2). The basic information may, for example, be information obtained through the conduct of a health examination on the target animal (2).

[0138] In addition, the constitution test management unit (10a) may obtain additional information regarding the feed intake of the target animal (2) in addition to the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) described above. This information regarding feed intake may include the daily feed intake amount for the target animal (2), the number of times feed is provided per day, and feed attribute information (e.g., feed name, feed type, feed formulation information, etc.). This information regarding feed intake may be information obtained from the user terminal (20) by the user (21) inputting it into the user terminal (20).

[0139] According to this, the solution providing unit (10b) can generate customized feed information that takes into account the individual characteristics (constitution) of the target animal (2) as a customized solution and provide it to the user terminal (20), based on the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) stored in the inspection DB (10a'), feed intake information obtained from the user terminal (20), and data about the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f).

[0140] That is, the constitution test management unit (10a) can acquire constitution test result information for the target animal (2) raised by the user (21), store (register) it in the test DB (10a'), and manage it. Here, the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) may include allergy test result information, hair test result information, genetic test result information, and basic information for the target animal (2). In addition, the data receiving unit (10f) can receive data regarding the target animal (2) raised by the user.

[0141] Subsequently, the solution providing unit (10b) can perform an analysis based on at least one of the above-mentioned physical examination result information obtained from the physical examination management unit (10a), data regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f), and feed intake-related information obtained from the user terminal (20), thereby deriving current health status information of the target animal (2), and can generate a customized solution based on the derived current status information and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0142] That is, the solution providing unit (10b) may, for example, analyze the constitution test result information obtained from the constitution test management unit (10a) to derive current health status information of the target animal (2) and generate and provide a customized solution based on the derived current status information, or analyze the data received from the data receiving unit (10f) to derive current health status information of the target animal (2) and generate and provide a customized solution based on the derived current status information.

[0143] At this time, the solution providing unit (10b) may provide a customized solution related to prescriptions, such as the prescription information described above, as a customized solution. In addition, the solution providing unit (10b) may provide a customized solution related to the provision of customized daily necessities as a customized solution. Furthermore, the solution providing unit (10b) may provide a customized solution related to emergency medical support as a customized solution. For convenience of explanation, the customized solution related to prescriptions that can be provided by the device (10) will be referred to as the first customized solution, the customized solution related to the provision of customized daily necessities will be referred to as the second customized solution, and the customized solution related to emergency medical support will be referred to as the third customized solution.

[0144] < Regarding the 2nd customized solution >

[0145] The solution providing unit (10b) may include a product manufacturing providing unit (10b') that manufactures and provides customized daily necessities (1) tailored to the target animal (2) by considering the current status information of the derived target animal (2). The product manufacturing providing unit (10b') may provide a second customized solution to the user (21) by providing the manufactured customized daily necessities (1) to the user (21).

[0146] Here, the customized living product (1) may refer to a living product customized to the current state information (characteristics, etc.) of the target animal (2), taking into account the current state information of the target animal (2), such as whether there is a disease, and if there is a disease, the type of disease present, etc., so as to include an effect that can alleviate (improve) or treat the symptoms of the disease that the target animal (2) has.

[0147] Here, the customized household goods (1) may include, for example, at least one of bath additives, shampoo, cosmetics, bedding, towels, toothpaste, and soap.

Furthermore, the customized household goods (1) may include not only items that can be worn on a part of the animal's body, but also items that can come into contact with the animal's body, food consumed by the animal, etc.

[0149] Here, items that can be worn on parts of the body of an animal (i.e., the target animal (2)) may include, for example, items such as a muzzle, harness, clothing, shoes, and accessories (e.g., dog hairpins, hair ties, etc.). Items that can come into contact with the animal's body may include, for example, toys, a house, a cushion, soap, bath products, shampoo, etc. Food consumed by the animal may include, for example, feed, treats, etc.

[0150] The custom household goods (1) produced by the supply provision unit (10b') can be described as custom household goods (customized items) for the target animal (2) that are customized for the target animal (2).

[0151] The product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') may include, for example, a product manufacturing unit (not shown) that manufactures customized daily necessities (1) tailored to the target animal (2) by considering at least one of the results of a physical examination of the target animal (2) and the current status information, although not shown in the drawing. The product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') may provide the customized daily necessities (1) manufactured by the product manufacturing unit (not shown) to the user (21). The product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') may provide at least one type of daily necessities among the various types of daily necessities described above (bath salts, shampoo, cosmetics, bedding, towels, muzzles, animal beds, harnesses, clothes, etc.) as customized daily necessities (1). The type of customized daily necessities (1) provided by the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') may be, for example, a type selected (set) by the manager or user (21) managing the device (10).

[0152] Additionally, the solution providing unit (10b) can predict disease information that may occur in the target animal (2) by considering the current state information of the target animal (2). That is, the solution providing unit (10b) can predict and derive disease information with a high incidence rate in the future (i.e., disease information that is judged to have a high incidence rate in the future) by considering the current state information of the target animal (2). At this time, the solution providing unit (10b) can predict disease information of the target animal (2) by using a deep learning model that has been trained to predict disease information by using, for example, data on multiple types of target animals as input.

[0153] Here, deep learning models may refer to artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm models, machine learning models, neural network models, neuro-fuzzy models, etc. Additionally, deep learning models may include various neural network models that have been previously disclosed or will be developed in the future, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN), and Deep Neural Networks.

[0154] The product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') can manufacture and provide to the user (21) a customized household product (1) containing ingredients (raw materials) capable of preventing (preventing) the predicted disease information based on the disease information predicted for the target animal (2) from the solution provision unit (10b). Accordingly, the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') can provide a second customized solution (customized solution related to the provision of customized household products) individually customized to each target animal based on the current condition information of the target animal (2) and the predicted disease information. Specifically, examples are as follows.

[0155] <Regarding Hair Testing>

[0156] The solution providing unit (10b) can identify (derive) information on minerals lacking in the target animal (2) and information on harmful heavy metals as information on the current health status of the target animal (2) by analyzing the hair test result information of the target animal (2) obtained through the hair test.

[0157] Afterwards, if the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') determines that the current condition information of the target animal (2) is 'lacking calcium,' it can manufacture a customized household product (1) containing natural ingredients such as mint, rosemary, and thyme, which are rich in calcium (in particular, manufacture at least one type of product among various types of customized household products) and provide it to the user (21).

[0158] As another example, the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') can produce (make) a customized household product (1) containing natural ingredients such as iron-rich thyme, mint, oregano, and provide it to the user (21) when the current condition information of the target animal (2) is found to be 'insufficient iron'.

[0159] As another example, the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') can produce and provide to the user (21) a customized household product (1) containing natural ingredients such as vitamin-rich basil, parsley, and tea tree, when the current condition information of the target animal (2) is found to be ‘higher than the average level of harmful heavy metals such as mercury or barium.’

[0160] In the above description, the natural material may be directly included in the form of a powder-like component (powder component) or oil. That is, the product manufacturing and providing unit (10b') may, for example, produce the above-described natural material in the form of powder or oil, and produce and provide the customized household product (1) by including the produced natural material in the form of powder or oil within the components of the customized household product (1).

[0161] <Regarding Genetic Testing>

[0162] The solution providing unit (10b) can derive predicted disease information, which predicts disease information as health-related current status information of the target animal (2), by analyzing the genetic test result information of the target animal (2) obtained through genetic testing, for example.

[0163] At this time, if the predicted disease information derived as the current state information of the target animal (2) is, for example, 'there is a high probability that a disease called multidrug resistance will occur in the future,' the product manufacturing and providing unit (10b') can produce and provide to the user (21) customized daily products for the purpose of eliminating resistance to antibiotics and boosting the immunity of the target animal (2) by using herbs and ginseng as functional ingredients as a preventive measure to prevent diseases (e.g., multidrug resistance) that may occur in the target animal (2) in advance.

[0164] <Regarding Allergy Testing>

[0165] The solution providing unit (10b) can derive information on food ingredients that cause allergies to the target animal (2) (i.e., information on food ingredients that are not suitable for the target animal (2)) as information on the current health status of the target animal (2) by analyzing the allergy test result information of the target animal (2) obtained through, for example, an allergy test (e.g., a constitution test and an environmental test).

[0166] Subsequently, if the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') determines that the current status information of the target animal (2) is 'the target animal (2) has an allergy to green tea ingredients,' it can manufacture (create) a customized household product (1) containing herbal ingredients using herbal ingredients instead of green tea and provide it to the user (21). That is, if the target animal (2) has an allergy to a specific ingredient, the product manufacturing and provision unit (10b') can manufacture and provide a customized household product (1) containing said alternative ingredient using an alternative ingredient (ingredient, natural ingredient) that can replace the allergy-causing ingredient.

[0167] The customized living goods (1) produced by the product production and provision unit (10b') can be used not only for purchase by the user (21) but also for use in hospitals or hotels. For example, when the target animal (2) is using a hospital or hotel for purposes such as recuperation or hospitalization, the device (10) can provide the customized living goods (1) (i.e., customized living goods made to suit the target animal) produced by the product production and provision unit (10b') in consideration of the physical examination result information (e.g., nutritional balance status information, physical information, genetic information, etc.) for the target animal (2) to the target animal (2) or the user (21) by the relevant hospital or hotel or the device (10) when the target animal (2) is using a hospital or hotel. In addition, for example, if the current condition information of the target animal (2) is determined to be such as 'a state in which symptoms of hypothermia appear' or 'a state in which symptoms of the flu appear,' the device (10) may produce a customized household product (1) containing aroma oil components to raise the body temperature of the target animal (2) and provide it to the target animal (2) or the user (21).

The processor (170) can accumulate data and processed data regarding the target animal (2) by classifying them by type of the target animal (2) and store them in the memory unit (140). The processor (170) can generate data packages for each type of the target animal (2). The processor (170) can store the generated data packages in the memory unit (140).

[0203] The processor (170) can receive a signal from the user terminal (20) requesting a data package of a specific type. The processor (170) can provide the requested data package to the user terminal (20) through the communication unit (120) if a cost is paid.

[0204] The processor (170) can provide information about the location of the first external device to the user terminal (20) through the communication unit (120). For example, the processor (170) can provide information about the location of the animal data acquisition device (350) to the user terminal (20) through the communication unit (120). The user can move to the location where the animal data acquisition device (350) is located, accompanied by an animal, and provide elements (e.g., hair, blood) for generating data about the target animal (2).

[0205] The processor (170) can obtain health status result data of the target animal (2) based on data about the target animal (2) received from the animal data acquisition device (350).

[0206] The processor (170) can obtain data on the growth and development level of the target animal (2) based on data on the target animal (2) received from the animal data acquisition device (350).

[0207] The processor (170) can generate data on feed ingredients for the growth and development and immune enhancement of the target animal (2) based on data on health status results and the degree of growth and development.

[0208] The processor (170) can obtain age information, species information, growth status information, and health status information of a specific animal based on data about the target animal (2) received from the animal data acquisition device (350).

[0209] The processor (170) can match animal-specific ID information, age information, species information, growth status information, and health status information in memory and store them in the memory unit (140).

[0210] The processor (170) can transmit age information, species information, growth status information, and health status information for each ID of the target animal (2) to a second external device along with data on feed ingredients.

[0211] The device (10) may include at least one printed circuit board (PCB). A memory unit (140), an interface unit (not shown), a power supply unit (190), and a processor (170) may be electrically connected to the printed circuit board.

[0212] Recently, as the animal market has grown, animal-related services have also become more diverse. Existing services lack uniform data management, so users face the inconvenience of having to input data individually when using each service. Additionally, users face the inconvenience of having to recognize the condition of the target animal (2) and care for the animal accordingly. For example, if the animal has allergies, users face the inconvenience of having to identify the ingredients of the food individually to exclude allergy-causing food when selecting food.

[0213] To resolve these problems, the present invention may provide a device (10) comprising an animal data processing unit (10e) that manages data of a target animal (2) and enables the provision of feed suitable for each individual animal. The animal data processing unit (10e) within the device (10) may enable the provision of services suitable for the target animal (2) based on data regarding the target animal (2).

[0214] According to the above description, the animal data processing unit (10e) may include a communication unit (120) that exchanges signals with a first external device and a second external device, and at least one processor (170) that receives data about a target animal (2) from the first external device through the communication unit, generates data about feed ingredients suitable for the animal based on the data, and transmits the data about the feed ingredients to the second external device through the communication unit.

[0215] Here, the data for the target animal (2) may include at least one of the hair test result information of the target animal (2), the genetic test result information of the target animal (2), the allergy test result information of the target animal (2), the health status data of the target animal (2), and the preference data of the target animal (2).

[0216] Additionally, the data regarding the above feed ingredients includes data regarding the ingredients included in the feed and data regarding the ingredients not included in the feed, and the data regarding the ingredients included in the feed includes at least one of the mineral ingredient data matching the hair test result information, the disease treatment ingredient data matching the genetic test result information, and the growth-enhancing ingredient data matching the health status data, and the data regarding the ingredients not included in the feed may include allergy-inducing ingredients matching the allergy test result information of the target animal (2).

[0217] Additionally, the processor (170) can generate data on the form of feed suitable for the animal based on the data, select one of wet, dry, and powder types based on the preference data of the target animal (2), and determine the daily recommended amount of feed based on the health status data of the target animal (2). Additionally, the processor (170) can generate data on recommended insurance suitable for the animal based on the data and transmit the data on the recommended insurance to the second external device through the communication unit. Additionally, the processor (170) can generate a data package with data on a plurality of feed ingredients collected for the first type of target animal (2) and provide the data package if a cost is paid.

[0218] By providing the device (10) including an animal data processing unit (10e), data regarding the target animal (2) is integratedly managed and processed, thereby enabling convenient provision of customized animal services and providing effects such as producing and providing feed suitable for the target animal (2) without any action by the user.

[0219] Meanwhile, the hotel service provider (10c) can provide hotel services related to the use of the animal hotel (30) through the user terminal (20) possessed by the user (21). In the following description of the hotel service provider (10c), the description will be based on the case where the target animal (2) of the user (21) is a pet (companion animal) such as a dog or a cat, but it is not limited to this, and as mentioned above, various types of animals can be considered as the target animal (2).

[0220] The hotel service provision unit (10c) may include a reservation management unit (11), a reservation DB (12), and an acquisition unit (13). The reservation management unit (11) can register and manage the reservation completion information (reservation information) of a user (21) for any one of the multiple rooms in the animal hotel (30) in the reservation DB (12).

[0221] Here, the reservation completion information (reservation information) may include at least one of the reservation name (i.e., user name), information on the hotel and room reserved by the user, the check-in date, the check-out date, and information on the accompanying animal. At this time, the information on the accompanying animal may include at least one of the number, type, and size of the animal (i.e., target animal (2)) raised by the user (21) who wishes to stay at the hotel with the user.

[0222] The user terminal (20) can enable the user (21) to make a reservation for one of the animal hotels based on information on multiple animal hotels provided by the device (10). Accordingly, when the reservation management unit (11) detects that a reservation for one of the multiple animal hotels has been made by the user terminal (20), it can register and manage the reservation completion information (reservation information) of the user (21) made by the user terminal (20) in the reservation DB (12).

[0223] The acquisition unit (13) can obtain the results of the physical examination of the target animal (2) by conducting a physical examination on the target animal (2) of the user (21) when it is determined that the user (21) has checked in on the check-in date within the reservation completion information of the user (21) registered in the reservation DB (12) (i.e., it is determined that the user has checked in to the animal hotel reserved by the user).

[0224] At this time, the constitution test result information may include allergy test result information of the target animal (2) and basic information of the target animal (2). Here, the basic information of the target animal (2) may include at least one of the type, external size, and weight of the target animal (2). In addition, the constitution test result information may include, in addition to the allergy test result information and basic information regarding the target animal (2), hair (the fur of the target animal (2)) test result information and genetic test result information as previously mentioned. Since the explanation regarding the constitution test result information has been explained in detail above, redundant explanations below will be omitted.

[0225] According to this, the aforementioned constitution test refers to an examination of the constitution and characteristics of the target animal (2), and may include, for example, an examination to determine information regarding whether there are allergies, what type of allergy there is (i.e., information on the types of allergies present, such as information on whether there is a metal allergy, information on whether there is a shrimp allergy, etc.), the aforementioned basic information, genetic information, and the presence of heavy metals. The types of constitution tests considered in the device (10) are not limited to the examples mentioned above (for example, allergy test, hair test, genetic test, and health checkup test), but may include various types of constitution tests capable of examining various types of constitution and characteristics of the target animal (2).

[0226] The physical examination obtained by the acquisition unit (13) can be conducted, for example, through a physical examination device (equipment) provided in a specific area within the animal hotel (30) reserved by the user (21). According to this, when the acquisition unit (13) determines that the user (21) has checked into the animal hotel (30), it can cause a physical examination of its target animal (2) to be conducted through the physical examination device provided within the animal hotel (30) at the time of check-in, and thereby obtain the physical examination result information, which is the result of the physical examination, from the physical examination device provided within the animal hotel (30) via the network (50). The physical examination device (equipment) provided within the animal hotel (30) may, for example, refer to an animal data acquisition device (350).

[0227] That is, when the acquisition unit (13) determines that a user has checked in, it can acquire the constitution test result information for the target animal (2) from the constitution test device provided within the animal hotel (30). However, it is not limited to this, and when the acquisition unit (13) determines that a user has checked in, if it determines that there is already acquired constitution test result information related to the target animal (2) in the constitution test management unit (10a) (i.e., constitution test result information of the target animal (2) corresponding to the target animal (2)) (i.e., if it is determined that the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) already exists in the test DB (10a'), it can extract and utilize the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) already stored in the test DB (10a') without needing to acquire the constitution test result information of the target animal (2) from the constitution test device provided within the animal hotel (30).

[0228] Meanwhile, one of the multiple rooms in the animal hotel (30) that the user (21) has reserved may include an animal bed (40) provided in a specific area of ​​the space within the room. The animal bed (40) may be, for example, manufactured and provided by the supply manufacturing and supply unit (10b').

[0229] An animal bed (40) may include a housing part having a housing space and one side open, a bed mattress provided in the housing space, a sensor part for measuring the health condition of a target animal (2) placed on the bed mattress, an environment control sensor for controlling the environment of the housing space, and a bed control part for controlling the operation of the environment control sensor in consideration of the health condition of the target animal (2) measured by the sensor part.

[0230] Here, the sensor unit may include at least one of a pressure sensor capable of measuring the weight (body weight) of a target animal (2) placed on a bed mattress, a heart rate sensor capable of measuring the heart rate of a target animal (2) placed on a bed mattress, and a body temperature sensor capable of measuring the body temperature of a target animal (2) placed on a bed mattress. Accordingly, by using the pressure sensor, heart rate sensor, body temperature sensor, etc., the sensor unit can measure health status information such as the weight (body weight), heart rate, and body temperature of a target animal (2) placed on a bed mattress.

[0231] The pressure sensor is a sensor that measures the weight (body weight) of the target animal (2) standing on the bed mattress, and can detect (confirm) whether the target animal (2) is located on the bed mattress. The heart rate sensor is a sensor that measures the heartbeat of the target animal (2), and can measure the ECG (Electrocardiogram) signal of the target animal (2). The body temperature sensor is a sensor that measures the body temperature of the target animal (2), and can be a contact or non-contact temperature sensor.

[0232] The bed control unit can determine whether there is an abnormality in the current health condition of the target animal (2) based on the appropriate body temperature value information for each animal that is pre-set considering the characteristics of the animals, by using, for example, the body temperature measurement value of the target animal (2) measured through a body temperature sensor. That is, the bed control unit can check whether there is an abnormality in the health condition of the target animal (2) depending on whether it maintains an appropriate body temperature value according to the characteristics of the animal.

[0233] Additionally, the environmental control sensor may include at least one of a temperature sensor for controlling the temperature of the accommodation space, a humidity sensor for controlling the humidity of the accommodation space, and an illuminance sensor for controlling the illuminance of the accommodation space. Accordingly, the environmental control sensor can control (control) environmental data (e.g., temperature, humidity, illuminance, etc.) of the accommodation space within the housing part where the target animal (2) is located by using the temperature sensor, humidity sensor, illuminance sensor, etc.

[0234] Here, the temperature sensor may refer to a sensor that measures the internal temperature of the housing (i.e., the temperature of the housing space), rather than the body temperature (temperature) of the target animal (2). The temperature sensor may be used, for example, to appropriately control the internal temperature of the housing according to the type, characteristics, and current health condition of the target animal (2). The illuminance sensor may refer to lighting, etc.

[0235] The animal bed (40) can measure the health status of the target animal (2) using a sensor unit and can control the operation of the environmental control sensor by taking into account the measured health status of the target animal (2). For example, the animal bed (40) can analyze the measured health status of the target animal (2) to derive information regarding the target animal's (2) tendencies, such as an atmosphere that the target animal (2) particularly likes, and by controlling the operation of the environmental control sensor based on the derived tendencies, the temperature, humidity, and illuminance of the housing space can be appropriately controlled to match the tendencies that the target animal (2) likes.

[0236] The present system (100) and the present device (10) can provide customized living supplies (1) to the user (21) or allow the target animal (2) to use the animal bed (40), thereby providing customized items (supplies, products, customized living supplies, etc.) specialized for the target animal (2) by taking into account the constitution and characteristics of the target animal (2).

[0237] Additionally, the animal bed (40) may include a sand receiving section provided in one area of ​​the housing section's receiving space and sand received in the sand receiving section. At this time, the sand receiving sections may be arranged adjacent to each other so as not to overlap with the bed mat. The sand received in the sand receiving section may be, for example, sand containing minerals (or mineral oil).

[0238] For example, cats and hamsters have a tendency to like sand, such as spending a lot of time on the sand and enjoying sand baths on the sand. Accordingly, the animal bed (40) may be provided to include a sand receiving section in which sand is received, for example, when the target animal (2) is a cat or a hamster. The sand receiving section can be understood as a component of the animal bed (40).

[0239] The control unit (10d) can control the operation of the bed control unit by taking into account, for example, the results of a physical examination of the target animal (2) (i.e., the results of a physical examination of the target animal (2) obtained through an allergy test or hair test), so that, for example, the temperature of the sand contained in the sand receiving unit is adjusted to a preset appropriate temperature. That is, the animal bed (40) can provide a function to adjust the appropriate temperature of the sand based on the results of the physical examination of the target animal (2) and provide sand mixed with minerals, thereby providing a customized bed that is suitable for the health (health condition) of the target animal (2) of the user (21) using the animal bed (40).

[0240] The control unit (10d) can control the operation of each part within the device (10) and the operation of the user terminal (20). In addition, the control unit (10d) can control the operation of each component within the system (100) linked with the device (10).

[0241] The control unit (10d) can check the movement information of the target animal (2) using a wearable device (e.g., the muzzle device (500) shown in the example), derive preference analysis information of the target animal (2) based on the confirmed movement information, and derive suitability analysis information for any one room (i.e., any one room among a plurality of rooms in the animal hotel, corresponding to the user's reservation completion information) that has been reserved at the user terminal (20) based on the derived preference analysis information and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0242] Here, the wearable device is, for example, a device worn on a part of the body of the target animal (2), and may include a location measurement sensor for measuring (confirming) the location and movement path of the target animal (2). For example, the wearable device may be the muzzle device (500), and for this purpose, the muzzle device (500) may be provided to include a location measurement sensor. The location measurement sensor may be, for example, a GPS sensor or a LiDAR. That is, the control unit (10d) can confirm the movement path information of the target animal (2) by analyzing the location information (i.e., GPS information) of the target animal (2) measured using the wearable device.

[0243] The control unit (10d) can derive taste analysis information of the target animal (2) by performing taste analysis based on confirmed movement information and intake information of the target animal (2) previously input from the user terminal (20). Here, the intake information may include, for example, information on snacks and food items eaten by the target animal (2). Additionally, the taste analysis information is information that analyzes the taste of the target animal (2), and may include information on the place where the target animal (2) stayed the most, derived based on GPS information or movement information, and information on snacks and food items eaten the most by the target animal (2).

[0244] Subsequently, the control unit (10d) may derive suitability analysis information for any one of the rooms that has been reserved at the user terminal (20) based on the derived preference analysis information and provide it to the user terminal (20). Here, the suitability analysis information may refer to information analyzing whether a room is suitable for the target animal (2).

[0245] For example, if the information about the place where the derived target animal (2) stayed the most is an outdoor space (park, on grass, etc.) rather than an indoor space (e.g., inside a building, inside the user's (21) home, etc.), and there is no outdoor grass facility within the animal hotel (30) corresponding to one room, but an indoor grass facility (play space) of 30 pyeong or less is included, the control unit (10d) can derive the suitability analysis information for the said room for the target animal (2) as, for example, 'unsuitable' or 'suitability: 30%'.

[0246] As another example, if the information about the place where the derived target animal (2) stayed the most is an outdoor space rather than an indoor space, and the animal hotel (30) corresponding to one room includes an outdoor lawn facility of 50 pyeong or more, the control unit (10d) can derive the suitability analysis information of the said room for the target animal (2) as, for example, 'average' or 'suitability: 60%'.

[0247] As another example, if the information about the place where the derived target animal (2) stayed the most is an indoor space rather than an outdoor space, the control unit (10d) can derive the suitability analysis information for any one of the rooms for the target animal (2), such as 'suitable' or 'suitability: 85% or higher'.

[0248] The user (21) can consider the suitability analysis information provided by the control unit (10d) and cancel the reservation completion for any room that the user (21) has completed (i.e., any room corresponding to the user's reservation completion information) and re-select another room or another animal hotel, or maintain the reservation completion as is.

[0249] That is, the device (10) can provide a movement path check function for the target animal (2), and at this time, by using a LiDAR or GPS function to check the movement path of the target animal (2), it can analyze information such as the place where the target animal (2) stayed the most, the snacks and food items it ate the most (i.e., preference analysis information), and based on this, it can derive analysis information regarding the suitability of the animal hotel (30), which is an animal-customized hotel (caravan) (i.e., suitability analysis information) and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0250] Meanwhile, the device (10) may provide various functions as follows. The control unit (10d) within the device (10) can control the operation of each of the user terminal (20), the animal hotel (30), and the animal bed (40). In particular, the control unit (10d) can control the screen display operation of the user terminal (20). Additionally, the control unit (10d) can control the operation of each part within the device (10).

[0251] For example, when the control unit (10d) detects that a reservation request signal is made by selecting one of a plurality of rooms in the animal hotel (30) from the user terminal (20) and requesting a reservation, it can proceed with a pre-set payment process for the user terminal (20) so that payment and reservation for the one room corresponding to the reservation request signal are completed at the user terminal (20).

[0252] At this time, the pre-configured payment process may refer to a process in which, when multiple cards owned by the user are pre-registered within the user terminal (20), the performance information of each of the multiple cards pre-registered in the user terminal (20) at the current time the payment process is being conducted is obtained, and considering the obtained performance information, one of the multiple cards is identified as having the lowest value of the unfulfilled performance amount at the current time, and payment for the travel product is made using the identified card. At this time, the pre-configured payment process may be a payment process that proceeds only when the user inputs (checks) the performance-based payment consent box on the user terminal (20), for example.

[0253] In the above description, the ownership card performance information may refer to information regarding the amount of ownership card usage that a user must use (achieve) in order to receive the benefits provided by each ownership card. Such ownership card performance information may include the performance period of each ownership card, the performance threshold amount, the usage amount that meets the performance requirements and the amount that does not meet the requirements based on the user's use of the ownership card up to the aforementioned current point in time (i.e., the current point in time when the payment process is in progress), and information regarding whether the performance requirements have been met based on the aforementioned performance threshold amount.

[0254] Typically, information regarding performance periods and minimum spending thresholds varies for each card owned by a user, differing depending on the card issuer and the type of card. For example, Hyundai Card may have a performance period set based on the first month (from the 1st to the last day) and a minimum spending threshold of 300,000 won. As another example, Lotte Card may have a performance period set based on the 5th of the current month to the 5th of the next month and a minimum spending threshold of 200,000 won. As such, to receive the benefits provided by each card, it is necessary to meet the criteria (i.e., the minimum spending threshold) corresponding to the performance information (card performance information) set by each card issuer for each card type. Here, benefits may refer to discounts such as a 2,000 won discount on movies, a 50% discount on amusement parks, or a 30% discount at coffee shops.

[0255] However, there are cases where users possess multiple cards. Previously, verifying whether they met the spending requirements for each card required visiting each card company's website individually, which was inconvenient. Since benefits can be utilized simply by meeting the performance criteria set by each card, users holding multiple cards will be able to receive the various benefits offered by each card by using them only up to the amount corresponding to the performance standard for each card.

[0256] Taking note of this, the control unit (10d) can ensure that the multiple cards owned by the user (21) can satisfy all card performance requirements and receive more benefits, and thus allow payment to proceed through the pre-configured payment process described above at the user terminal (20). That is, the control unit (10d) automatically selects which of the multiple cards to prioritize payment by considering the performance information of each of the multiple cards owned by the user, and at this time, selects the card with the lowest unfulfilled amount among the multiple cards as the card to be prioritized for payment, and allows payment to proceed with the selected card (i.e., the card with the lowest unfulfilled amount).

[0257] As a specific example, according to a pre-configured payment process, the control unit (10d) can identify that among the pre-registered multiple ownership cards, there are three ownership cards, and as a result of checking the ownership card performance information of each of the three ownership cards, the first ownership card among the three ownership cards is determined to be an ownership card that has already met the performance requirement (i.e., for example, the performance requirement amount of the first ownership card is 300,000 won, but 450,000 won has already been used at the current time), the second ownership card is determined to have an unmet performance requirement amount of 20,000 won (i.e., for example, the performance requirement amount of the second ownership card is 200,000 won, but 180,000 won has already been used at the current time), and the third ownership card is determined to have an unmet performance requirement amount of 100,000 won (i.e., for example, the performance requirement amount of the third ownership card is 300,000 won, but 200,000 won has already been used at the current time), and the second ownership card among the pre-registered multiple ownership cards is determined to have an unmet performance requirement amount of 100,000 won (i.e., for example, the performance requirement amount of the third ownership card is 300,000 won, but 200,000 won has already been used at the current time).

[0258] According to the above-described pre-configured payment process, when a user (21) registers multiple owned cards on a user terminal (20) and attempts to make a payment for a reservation of a specific room in a specific animal hotel, the device (10) can make the payment in such a way that all of the multiple owned cards satisfy the performance standard amount, thereby allowing the user (21) to enjoy all the various benefits provided by each of the multiple owned cards.

[0259] That is, the device (10) allows payment to be made through the aforementioned pre-set payment process, so that when a user (21) has multiple cards, the use / consumption of the cards can be made in a manner such that all of the multiple cards can meet the maximum performance standard amount when booking and paying for a specific room.

[0260] Additionally, for example, if a critical situation (emergency) occurs, such as when the target animal (2) suddenly vomits, spins in circles, or breathes heavily, the user (21), who is the guardian of the target animal (2), may take the target animal (2) to an animal hospital in a hurry. At this time, if the user (21) does not have a license or a vehicle, they may have to take a taxi to the animal hospital. Since it is an emergency, the user (21) must quickly transport the target animal (2) to the animal hospital; however, in a chaotic situation, it will not be easy for the user (21) to find out where the nearest animal hospital is or whether that animal hospital can currently treat or operate on their target animal (2). Therefore, in order to enable the user (21) to go to the animal hospital more quickly when an emergency situation occurs with the target animal (2), the device (10) can provide the following functions.

[0261] The device (10) may be connected to each of the terminals (not shown) of a plurality of animal hospitals (360) via a network (50) to transmit and receive data.

[0262] The control unit (10d) displays an emergency call button in a specific area of ​​the screen of the user terminal (20), and when the user (21) clicks on the emergency call button, it can send an inquiry message to each of the terminals (not shown) of the multiple animal hospitals (360) in response to the click input, asking whether support from an ambulance dedicated to animals is possible. That is, when the user (21) clicks on the emergency call button displayed in a specific area of ​​the screen of the user terminal (20), the control unit (10d) determines that an emergency situation has occurred to the target animal (2) and can send an inquiry message to each of the terminals (not shown) of the multiple animal hospitals (360) in response to the click input, asking for support from an ambulance dedicated to animals. Subsequently, the control unit (10d) can generate a location sharing map and provide it to the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal respectively when a supportable response is made in response to the inquiry message at the terminal of the first animal hospital (361), which is one of the terminals of the multiple animal hospitals (360) that received the inquiry message. Through the transmission of the inquiry message and the provision of the location sharing map, the device (10) can support the emergency situation by linking with the animal hospital and the ambulance when an emergency situation occurs to the target animal (2) raised by the user (21).

[0263] Here, the inquiry message may include basic information about the target animal (2) (e.g., the type, size, weight, etc. of the target animal (2) as previously mentioned), and inquiry information regarding whether ambulance support is available.

[0264] Additionally, the location sharing map may refer to data in which i) current location information of the user terminal (20), ii) current location information of the first animal hospital terminal, and iii) shortest travel path information between the current location of the user terminal (20) and the current location of the first animal hospital terminal are displayed on the map. This current location information may be information obtained through the GPS sensors of the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal, respectively. In the present invention, the explanation will be made by assuming, for example, that the first animal hospital terminal is a terminal that is easy to move and carry (e.g., a smartphone, a tablet PC, etc.).

[0265] At this time, the animal-only ambulance in the above description may refer, for example, to an animal-only ambulance provided by each animal hospital, which is independently prepared by each animal hospital. At this time, the animal-only ambulance provided by each animal hospital may be, for example, an animal-only ambulance (620) manufactured by the device (10), and the description of the animal-only ambulance (620) of a new structure manufactured and provided by the device (10) will be described in more detail later.

[0266] That is, in the above description, for example, when a user (21) clicks on an emergency call button on a user terminal (20), emergency medical support for the target animal (2) is provided by an animal-only ambulance provided by each animal hospital at a plurality of animal hospitals (360). However, this is merely an example to help understand the present invention and is not limited thereto. As another example, when a user (21) clicks on an emergency call button on a user terminal (20), the device (10) can provide emergency medical support for the target animal (2) to one of the animal emergency medical support vehicles (600) waiting at a vehicle waiting spot (not shown) managed by the device (10). The method of providing emergency medical support using an animal emergency medical support vehicle (600) will be described in more detail later with reference to FIG. 1c.

[0267] In addition, most animal hospitals typically provide services such as medical treatment and surgery when a user (21) visits in person, but do not provide services to support the transport of animals in emergency situations. Conventional 119 ambulances and private ambulances only support the transport of people. Accordingly, the present invention will be explained by assuming, for example, that the first animal hospital (361) supports transport services for animals.

[0268] After providing the location sharing map, the user (21) of the user terminal (20) who received the location sharing map and the animal hospital official who is an official of the first animal hospital terminal can each move in a direction to meet each other more quickly based on the shortest travel path information within the location sharing map. That is, the animal hospital official of the first animal hospital terminal who received the location sharing map can move toward the location of the user terminal (20) by driving an animal-only ambulance to transport the target animal (2) in an emergency situation to the first animal hospital (361) following the shortest travel path information, while the user (21) of the user terminal (20) who received the location sharing map may remain at the location where the target animal (2) is, or may take a taxi along the shortest travel path information to move toward the first animal hospital together with the target animal (2) to transport the target animal (2) to the first animal hospital (361) more quickly.

[0269] By using a location sharing map, the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal can check each other's current locations in real time. After providing the location sharing map, the control unit (10d) checks the current location information of the user terminal (20) and the current location information of the first animal hospital terminal in real time, and can monitor whether the distance between the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal is within a preset distance (e.g., 300m). At this time, if the control unit (10d) determines that the distance between the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal is within a pre-set distance (e.g., 300m) during a pre-set time (e.g., 1 minute) based on the monitoring results, it is assumed that the user (21) and the animal hospital official who is an official of the first animal hospital terminal have met each other, and subsequently the user (21) and the target animal (2) are moving together toward the first animal hospital while riding in an animal-only ambulance (i.e., previously traveling in a taxi and then transferring to an animal-only ambulance), and the provision of a location sharing map between the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal may be stopped.

[0270] According to this, the control unit (10d) can provide a location sharing map to the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal only after the user (21) clicks the emergency call button and until the user (21) and the animal hospital official of the first animal hospital meet each other (i.e., only when the user (21) and the animal hospital official stay together for a set time (e.g., 1 minute) within a set distance (e.g., 300m) between each other), and thereafter, when it is determined that they meet and are moving together (i.e., after it is determined that the distance between the user (21) terminal and the first animal hospital terminal is within a set distance for a set time), the location sharing map can no longer be provided to the user terminal (20) and the first animal hospital terminal.

[0271] This device (10), by providing an emergency call button and a location-sharing map, enables i) the user (21) to receive support from an animal-only ambulance from an immediately available animal hospital (especially one capable of treating or operating on the target animal (2) considering the type and size of the target animal (2)) by clicking the emergency call button, without having to search for currently available animal hospitals one by one, thereby enabling rapid transport to the animal hospital (20) in an emergency situation, and ii) the user (21) and the animal hospital staff (i.e., the animal-only ambulance) to meet each other quickly based on the same route information within the location-sharing map. For example, compared to the case where the user (21) travels to the animal hospital entirely by taxi or the case where the animal-only ambulance travels entirely to the location of the target animal (2) at the time the emergency call button is pressed, loads the target animal (2), and then transports it back to the first animal hospital, the user (21) can save on travel expenses (i.e., taxi fare iii) The target animal (2) can be quickly transported to the first animal hospital so that quick action can be taken in emergency situations, and iii) the location sharing map is provided only until the two meet for the purpose of facilitating a quick meeting between the user (21) and the hospital staff, thereby eliminating the collection of unnecessary location information and facilitating a quick meeting.

[0272] Meanwhile, a detailed description of the emergency support unit (10b'') that provides emergency support services to the target animal (2) using an animal emergency support vehicle (600) can be more easily understood by referring to FIG. 1c.

[0273] Referring to FIG. 1c, the device (10) may include a data receiving unit (10f) and a solution providing unit (10b), and the solution providing unit (10b) may include an emergency support unit (10b'').

[0274] The emergency support unit (10b'') can control the provision of an animal emergency support vehicle (600) to the target animal (2) when it is determined that the target animal (2) requires emergency support based on the current status information of the target animal (2) derived from the solution provision unit (10b), thereby providing emergency support services for the target animal (2) to the user (21).

[0275] Here, the animal rescue support vehicle (600) may include an animal drone ambulance (610) capable of moving in the air and an animal-only ambulance (620) capable of moving on the ground. The animal rescue support vehicle (600) may be configured to include at least one animal drone ambulance (610) and at least one animal-only ambulance (620). That is, the system (100) may include a plurality of animal rescue support vehicles (600).

[0276] The only difference between the two configurations is that the animal drone ambulance (610) is configured to move in the air and the animal ambulance (620) is configured to move on the ground, but the internal components between them may be identical. Therefore, for example, the description of the animal drone ambulance (610) can be applied in the same way to the description of the animal ambulance (620), even if the details are omitted below, and vice versa.

[0277] The animal drone ambulance (610) and the animal-only ambulance (620) may both be transport means (animal ambulance support vehicles) provided exclusively for animals to provide emergency support for animals, and these may be animal ambulance support vehicles managed by, for example, the manager of the device (10). These animal ambulance support vehicles may be arranged to wait at a vehicle waiting spot (not shown) designated by the device (10). When emergency support is needed, the emergency support unit (10b'') may control the operation of any one of the animal ambulance support vehicles (600) waiting at the vehicle waiting spot (not shown) so that one of the animal ambulance support vehicles carries the target animal (2) and moves to one of the animal hospitals (360).

[0278] The animal drone ambulance (610) and the animal-only ambulance (620) may both be unmanned animal ambulance support vehicles that can be controlled unmanned without direct operation by a person (i.e., can be remotely controlled automatically by the control of the ambulance support unit (10b'').

[0279] The animal drone ambulance (610) may include a body (not shown), a wing (not shown), a landing support (not shown), a vital sensor unit (611), an animal real-name verification sensor unit (612), and a drone control unit (613). The animal-only ambulance (620) may be configured to include the remaining components of the animal drone ambulance (610) excluding the wing (not shown) (i.e., the body (not shown), the landing support (not shown), the vital sensor unit, the animal real-name verification sensor unit, and the drone control unit), and redundant descriptions below will be omitted.

[0280] The description of each component within the animal drone ambulance (610) is as follows. The wing portion (not shown) is provided on the upper side of the body portion and can levitate the body portion. The landing support (not shown) is accommodated in the receiving space of the body portion and may be a member on which the target animal (2) lands.

[0281] A vital sensor unit (611) is provided in a portion of the upper surface of a support stand and can measure vital sign information of a target animal (2) placed on the support stand. At this time, the vital sensor unit (611) may be a component having the same or corresponding function as the vital sensor section (503) within the health management muzzle device (500) described above. Therefore, the description of the vital sensor section (503) can be applied equally to the description of the vital sensor unit (611), and redundant descriptions will be omitted below.

[0282] The animal real-name authentication sensor unit (612) may be a component provided to measure (derive) real-name authentication information of a target animal (2) placed on a support. Here, the real-name authentication information of the target animal (2) refers to the unique identification information of the target animal (2), and may refer to the unique identification information of the target animal (2) identified by recognizing at least one of, for example, i) recognition (photography, scanning, authentication) of an implanted chip embedded in a part of the body of the target animal (2), ii) recognition of a collar worn by the target animal (2), iii) recognition of the nose wrinkles of the target animal (2), and iv) recognition of the soles of the paws of the target animal (2). The unique identification information of the target animal (2) may include at least one of the species, blood type, and information regarding the owner (for example, the user's mobile phone number, home address, etc.) of the target animal (2).

[0283] According to this, the animal real-name authentication sensor unit (612) may include, for example, a chip scanner (internal chip recognition reader) for recognizing an internal chip embedded in the body of the target animal (2) or a chip recognized on a collar, and at least one of a camera for recognizing information written on the collar or nose wrinkles, paw pads, etc.

[0284] The animal real-name authentication sensor unit (612) can measure (derive, obtain) the real-name authentication information of the target animal (2) (i.e., the unique identification information of the target animal (2)) by scanning and photographing the target animal (2) using a scanner and a camera when the target animal (2) is placed on the support stand.

[0285] The drone control unit (613) can control the operation of the animal drone ambulance (610). The drone control unit (613) can control the operation of the animal drone ambulance (610) according to a control signal from the emergency support unit (10b''), for example.

[0286] Additionally, the drone control unit (613) can transmit (provide) various information (data) measured and generated in the animal drone ambulance (610) to the outside. At this time, the outside may include at least one of the following: a user terminal (20) held by the user (21), who is the owner of the target animal (2); a terminal of an animal hospital that is the destination of the animal drone ambulance (610) (for example, a terminal of the first animal hospital (361), which is one of the multiple animal hospitals (360)); a terminal held by an animal rescuer if there is an animal rescuer who rescues the target animal (2); and Estella.

[0287] That is, the drone control unit (613) can transmit vital sign information of the target animal (2) measured by, for example, the vital sensor unit (611) to the outside. In addition, the drone control unit (613) can transmit real-name authentication information of the target animal (2) measured (derived) through the animal real-name authentication sensor unit (612) to the outside.

[0288] According to this, the data receiving unit (10f) can receive vital sign information and real-name authentication information for the target animal (2) housed in the animal rescue support vehicle (600) as data for the target animal (2) from the animal rescue support vehicle (600). Additionally, the data receiving unit (10f) can receive at least one of vital sign information, danger alarm information, and disease diagnosis information for the target animal (2) from the health management muzzle device (500) worn by the target animal (2) housed in the animal rescue support vehicle (600) as data for the target animal (2).

[0289] Afterwards, the solution providing unit (10b) can derive current status information through the analysis of the received data and generate a customized solution accordingly and provide it to the user terminal (20).

[0290] Additionally, the emergency support unit (10b'') can determine whether the target animal (2) requires emergency support by considering the current status information of the target animal (2). At this time, for example, the emergency support unit (10b'') can determine that the target animal (2) requires emergency support if it detects that danger alarm information is received from the muzzle device (500), disease diagnosis information is received from the muzzle device (500), or that a click input by the user (21) on the emergency call button is made on the user terminal (20).

[0291] In this way, if it is determined that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, the emergency support unit (10b'') can control one of the multiple animal emergency support vehicles (600) waiting at the vehicle waiting spot (not shown) to be provided to the target animal (2). At this time, for example, when it is determined that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, the emergency support unit (10b'') can acquire location information from the GPS sensor of the user terminal (20) or the GPS sensor embedded in the health management muzzle device (500), and transmit the acquired location information to the animal emergency support vehicle. Accordingly, the animal emergency support vehicle can be controlled to autonomously move to the location corresponding to the location information, automatically move to pick up the target animal (2), and then autonomously move to the location of one of the animal hospitals (360) selected in advance by the user (21), thereby providing emergency support services for the target animal (2) to the user (21).

[0292] Additionally, if the emergency support unit (10b'') determines that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, it may provide, for example, to the user terminal (20) information on a disease treatment animal hospital capable of treating the disease currently contracted by the target animal (2) among a plurality of animal hospitals (360) as a customized solution. Furthermore, if the target animal (2) currently has multiple diseases, the emergency support unit (10b'') may provide information on an animal hospital that specializes in treating each of the multiple diseases currently contracted by the target animal (2) as a customized solution (i.e., information on an animal hospital capable of treating each of the multiple diseases currently contracted by the target animal). At this time, when the emergency support unit (10b'') provides information on a disease treatment animal hospital, it may provide information on an animal hospital located within a certain radius from the current location of the user terminal (20) based on the GPS information of the user terminal (20) (i.e., information on an animal hospital located close to the user's current location).

[0293] That is, for example, if the emergency support unit (10b'') determines that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, it can provide a list of information on animal hospitals located within a certain radius (for example, 5 km) from the current location of the user terminal (20) in real time on the screen of the user terminal (20). At this time, after providing the list, the emergency support unit (10b'') can allow the user (21) to select one of the animal hospitals in the list as the animal hospital they wish to visit. Subsequently, the emergency support unit (10b'') determines that the animal hospital desired for visit selected by the user (21) is the animal hospital where the animal emergency support vehicle (600) must arrive, and then transmits the address of the animal hospital desired for visit selected by the user (21) to the animal emergency support vehicle scheduled to be provided to the target animal (2). Through this, the information of the destination of movement for the animal emergency support vehicle scheduled to be provided to the target animal (2) can be set to the address of the animal hospital desired for visit. Based on this, the emergency support unit (10b'') can control the animal emergency support vehicle to automatically move to the location corresponding to the address of the animal hospital desired for visit after loading the target animal (2).

[0294] At this time, the information regarding the destination of the animal ambulance support vehicle is exemplified as being determined by the user (21)'s selection in the above description, but this is merely an example to aid in understanding the invention and is not limited thereto. It may also be automatically selected and determined by the ambulance support unit (10b''), and in particular, it may be automatically selected according to the condition of the target animal (2) (critical level, level of critical condition, etc.).

[0295] That is, the emergency support unit (10b'') can provide information on some of the animal hospitals among the multiple animal hospitals (360) to the user terminal (20) held by the user (21) when it is determined that the target animal (2) requires emergency support. When it is detected that the user (21) has selected information on one of the animal hospitals among the information on some of the animal hospitals, the emergency support unit (10b'') can control the movement and operation of the animal emergency support vehicle (600) so that the animal emergency support vehicle (600) moves to the location of the one animal hospital after loading the target animal (2). At this time, when the emergency support unit (10b'') provides information on some of the animal hospitals to the user terminal (20), it can provide information on animal hospitals as a list, for example, a specialized animal hospital located near the user that can treat the disease of the target animal (2) or a specialized animal hospital that is currently available for immediate use.

[0296] After providing the above list, the emergency support unit (10b'') can allow the user (21) to select one of the animal hospitals in the above list as the animal hospital they wish to visit, and can also allow the selection of the animal hospital they wish to visit to be changed in real time (changed in real time according to the condition of the target animal).

[0297] Additionally, when the user (21) selects any animal hospital in the list as the animal hospital they wish to visit, the emergency support unit (10b'') can generate emergency visit alarm information including vital sign information for the target animal (2) and provide (send) it to the terminal of the animal hospital the user (21) has selected as the animal hospital they wish to visit. Additionally, when the user (21) first selects an animal hospital as the animal hospital they wish to visit, and then, for example, re-selects another animal hospital in the list as the animal hospital they wish to visit (i.e., changes the selection of the animal hospital they wish to visit), the emergency support unit (10b'') can ensure that the above emergency visit alarm information is provided to the terminal of the re-selected animal hospital they wish to visit.

[0298] Additionally, if the emergency support unit (10b'') determines that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, it can provide a customized solution (e.g., a solution regarding the provision of information on a treatment-capable animal hospital) in real time to the user terminal (20), taking into account the disease diagnosis information and / or danger notification information of the target animal (2), including emergency treatment information. As a customized solution, the emergency support unit (10b'') can provide information on a specialized animal hospital capable of professionally diagnosing and treating (surgery) the disease currently contracted by the target animal (2) in real time to the user terminal (20), depending on the current condition information of the target animal (2) (especially, the type of disease currently contracted).

[0299] As described above, the muzzle device (500) in the system (100) may be provided with a vital sensor unit (503) for measuring vital sign information of the target animal (2). Additionally, the animal ambulance support vehicle (600) (i.e., the animal drone ambulance (610) and the animal-only ambulance (620), respectively) in the system (100) may be provided with a vital sensor unit (611) for measuring vital sign information of the target animal (2).

[0300] Vital sign information of the target animal (2) measured by the vital sensor unit (503) or the vital sensor unit (611) can be provided externally (e.g., to a user terminal (20), etc.) via a network (50) by the device controller unit (504) or the drone control unit (613). Additionally, the vital sign information of the target animal (2) measured by the vital sensor unit (503) or the vital sensor unit (611) can be provided (transmitted) in real time to an animal hospital, a user (21) who is the owner of the target animal (2), a rescue team, Estella, etc. Through this, the user terminal (20) can check the vital sign information of the target animal (2) in the app through the user terminal (20). As previously mentioned, the vital sign information may include information such as respiration, pulse, body temperature, and blood pressure.

[0301] In addition, the drone control unit (613) of the animal drone ambulance (610), like the device controller unit (504) in the muzzle device (500), can determine that a health risk signal (i.e., a signal that the health is in a dangerous state) has been detected in the target animal (2) when, for example, the numerical value of vital sign information measured through the vital sensor unit (611) is measured to be outside the normal allowable value range set based on a predefined normal value range, and then generate and transmit danger alarm information to the outside. That is, the drone control unit (613) can, for example, measure and monitor the vital sign information of the target animal (2) housed in the body unit, and if there is an item among the vital sign information items (e.g., body temperature, respiration, pulse, etc.) that has a value outside the preset normal allowable value range (for example, if vital sign information is measured that has risen rapidly by more than 10% compared to the normal state or has fallen rapidly by less than 10%), it can generate and transmit danger alarm information to the outside.

[0302] In addition, for example, the drone control unit (613) may measure the basic information of the target animal (2) through the vital sensor unit (611) and transmit it externally. Here, the basic information may include the BMI (Body Mass Index) information, weight information, etc. of the target animal (2).

[0303] The data receiving unit (10f) can receive vital sign information of the target animal (2) in real time as data for the target animal (2) from at least one of the muzzle device (500) and the animal rescue support vehicle (600), and can also receive disease diagnosis information of the target animal (2), which is diagnosis result information regarding whether or not there is a disease infection diagnosed through the disease detection diagnostic member (505) of the muzzle device (500), in real time as data for the target animal (2) from the muzzle device (500). Here, disease diagnosis information may refer to data (diagnosis data) regarding whether or not there is a disease.

[0304] In addition, the animal drone ambulance (610) may be equipped with an animal real-name verification sensor unit (612) to measure the real-name verification information of the target animal (2) as previously mentioned. Furthermore, the animal real-name verification sensor unit (612) may also be equipped in the muzzle device (500) shown, for example.

[0305] For example, the drone control unit (613) can measure (derive) real-name authentication information of the target animal (2) through an animal real-name authentication sensor unit (612), which is a sensor capable of real-name authentication of the target animal (2) and automatic authentication of a digital resident registration card, and can provide the measured real-name authentication information to a user terminal (20). In addition, the drone control unit (613) can make the measured real-name authentication information available to the user (21) or externally through this app in the form of authentication in any form that can identify the target animal (2), such as an implanted chip inside the body of the target animal (2), a collar, or nose (wrinkle) authentication, or in the form of a digital (resident) registration card.

[0306] Additionally, when the drone control unit (613) determines that the target animal (2) requires emergency medical support, it may provide medical questionnaire information to the user terminal (20) of the user (21), who is the owner of the target animal (2), so that the user (21) can fill out the medical questionnaire information in advance. Afterward, when the animal emergency support vehicle (600) is carrying the target animal (2) and moving to the location of one of the multiple animal hospitals (360) (especially the location of the animal hospital the user wishes to visit), the drone control unit (613) may transmit the medical questionnaire information that the user (21) has filled out in advance through the user terminal (20), the vital sign information of the target animal (2) measured through the vital sensor unit (611), and the real name verification information of the target animal (2) measured through the animal real name verification sensor unit (612) to an external source (e.g., the terminal of the animal hospital the user wishes to visit, the user terminal (20), etc.). That is, the drone control unit (613) can transmit the medical questionnaire and medical information input data, which are written by the owner of the target animal (2), along with the identification authentication data (i.e., real name authentication information) of the target animal (2) to the outside, for example, when the animal ambulance support vehicle (600) is moving to the location of an animal hospital.

[0307] In addition, the data regarding the target animal (2) received by the data receiving unit (10f) may include genetic information, constitution information, nutritional balance information, etc. regarding the target animal (2), and when the emergency support unit (10b'') determines that emergency support is necessary, it may provide the data regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f) to the terminal of the animal hospital where the animal wishes to visit. In this way, by providing the data (various data) regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f) to the terminal of the animal hospital where the animal wishes to visit, the device (10) can help facilitate the smooth diagnosis and treatment of the target animal (2) at the animal hospital where the animal wishes to visit.

[0308] Additionally, the data receiving unit (10f) may provide (transmit) the received feeding information to the target animal (2) when it receives feeding information for the target animal (2) from the user terminal (20) as data for the target animal (2). Here, the feeding information may include data regarding the feed, snacks, treatment drugs, medications, etc., that the target animal (2) is currently being fed.

[0309] In addition, the device (10) can control the provision of hospital treatment record data from the animal hospital to the user terminal (20) after the treatment of the target animal (2) at the animal hospital to be visited is completed.

[0310] Additionally, the emergency support unit (10b'') can control the operation (movement) of the animal emergency support vehicle (600) so that when it is determined that the target animal (2) is in a state requiring emergency support, and after the user (21) selects the animal hospital they wish to visit, the animal emergency support vehicle (600) assigned to the target animal (2) carries the target animal (2) and moves via autonomous driving to the location of the destination, which is the animal hospital they wish to visit. To this end, the animal emergency support vehicle (600) may be equipped with functions such as, for example, drone navigation, general navigation, a LiDAR system, or an autonomous driving mode.

[0311] Additionally, when the emergency support unit (10b'') controls the animal emergency support vehicle (600) to move from a location corresponding to a vehicle waiting spot (not shown) (starting location) to a location of the animal hospital where the target animal (2) is located (arriving location) as it is determined that the target animal (2) requires emergency support, for example, the emergency support unit (10b'') may provide information regarding the movement path from the starting location to the arrival location via the location of the target animal (2) to the user terminal (20) and the terminal of the animal hospital where the target animal is visited, respectively, and may provide not only information regarding the movement path but also data regarding the target animal (2) received from the data receiving unit (10f) as previously mentioned.

[0312] Here, the information regarding the above-mentioned travel route may include travel route information displayed on a map, travel time information (e.g., estimated time of arrival to the destination), real-time traffic condition information obtained from a camera module provided in an area of ​​the animal rescue support vehicle (600), and surrounding condition information of the animal rescue support vehicle (600) in motion. Here, the surrounding condition information may include, for example, current temperature information, humidity information, and weather conditions information (weather information) around the animal rescue support vehicle (600). Such surrounding condition information may be information obtained through sensors including, for example, a temperature measuring sensor, a humidity measuring sensor, and a camera module provided in an area of ​​the animal rescue support vehicle (600). The emergency support unit (10b'') can provide information regarding the above-mentioned movement route to the user terminal (20) and the terminal of the animal hospital the patient wishes to visit, respectively, thereby enabling the user (21) or the person in charge of the animal hospital the patient wishes to visit to monitor and verify the movement status of the current animal emergency support vehicle (600), the current status information of the target animal (2), etc., in real time.

[0313] Meanwhile, the control unit (10d) can generate a self-diagnosis list that allows the user (21) to self-diagnose (check, confirm) the current condition of their target animal (2) and provide it to the user terminal (20). The self-diagnosis list may be one that has already been generated by the control unit (10d), and it may refer to a list containing items (questions) that need to be checked to enable the user to self-diagnose whether the target animal (2) has a disease, abnormality, problem, or symptom. Such a self-diagnosis list may be generated according to the characteristics of each animal for each type of animal. For example, the results of the self-diagnosis list made by the user (21) may be utilized later when the user (21) visits an animal hospital to receive medical treatment for the target animal (2).

[0314] At this time, when the user (21) diagnoses (checks) the current condition of their target animal (2) through the self-diagnosis list, the control unit (10d) may provide the self-diagnosis list as follows to facilitate the user's (21) diagnosis (i.e., convenience in deriving the self-diagnosis result).

[0315] As previously mentioned, the user terminal (20) may include all kinds of wired and wireless communication devices, such as a PCS, PDC, smartphone, smartpad, tablet PC, laptop, wearable device, etc.

[0316] Specifically, the control unit (10d) can control the operation of the user terminal (20) (e.g., screen display) as previously mentioned. At this time, when a request for list provision is made from the user terminal (20) (e.g., when the user (21) clicks a list provision button displayed in a specific area of ​​the screen), the control unit (10d) displays a pre-generated self-diagnosis list on the screen of the user terminal (20). When displaying the list, the maximum number of items exposed on one screen of the user terminal (20) among the multiple items can be adjusted differently by considering the screen size of the user terminal (20) and the number of characters of the multiple items within the self-diagnosis list. The user (21) can self-diagnose the current condition of their target animal (2) based on the self-diagnosis list provided by the control unit (10d).

[0317] Information regarding items within the self-diagnosis list (number of items, item content, etc.) may be set, changed, and managed by, for example, an administrator managing the device (10). Items within the self-diagnosis list may be referred to by different terms such as diagnostic questions, diagnostic checklist questions, and diagnostic items. The self-diagnosis list may include multiple items (for example, multiple query information), and as examples of multiple items, such as 'Do you vomit?', 'Has it been 30 minutes since you ate?', 'Do you have seizure symptoms?', etc.

[0318] At this time, when the control unit (10d) displays the self-diagnosis list on the screen of the user terminal (20), if the screen liquid crystal size of the user terminal (20) falls within a first criterion, the self-diagnosis list is displayed in a first display method; if the screen liquid crystal size falls within a second criterion larger than the first criterion, the self-diagnosis list is displayed in a second display method; and if the screen liquid crystal size falls within a third criterion larger than the second criterion, the self-diagnosis list is displayed in a third display method. Here, the screen liquid crystal size of the user terminal (20) may refer to the size of the liquid crystal panel of the display screen of the user terminal (20).

[0319] Additionally, the first display method is a method of sequentially displaying each of the plurality of items in the self-diagnosis list one by one on the screen, the second display method is a method of displaying items on the screen in such a way that the total number of characters of the items displayed on one screen of the user terminal (20) is less than or equal to a preset maximum number of characters (e.g., 50 characters), and the third display method may mean a method of displaying all of the plurality of items within one screen of the user terminal (20).

[0320] Additionally, the first criterion may be a range in which the screen size of the user terminal (20) is less than 10 inches, the second criterion may be a range in which the screen size is 10 inches or more and less than 19 inches, and the third criterion may be a range in which the screen size is 19 inches or more. At this time, the specific example of the numerical value mentioned in the present invention is merely an example to aid in understanding the present invention, and the specific numerical value may be set and changed in various ways by the manager managing the device (10).

[0321] In addition, the self-diagnosis list may be provided such that a response box for each of the aforementioned multiple items is selected, for example, from one of multiple options. For example, the multiple options may include a first option for selecting 'YES' and a second option for selecting 'NO'.

[0322] Portable devices such as smartphones (mobile phones) that people usually carry around come in various screen sizes, such as 6 inches, 7 inches, and 8 inches. Tablet PCs such as the Galaxy Tab and laptops are portable and have larger screen sizes than mobile phones, such as 10 inches and 11 inches. Desktop PCs tend to have relatively large screen sizes compared to mobile phones and tablet PCs, such as 19 inches or larger.

[0323] As such, the screen size of the terminal possessed by each user of the device (10) may vary. However, if the self-diagnosis list is provided to the user terminal (20) in a fixed single display method (for example, a display method in which all information of the self-diagnosis list is displayed on one screen) without considering the characteristics of terminals with various screen sizes, a user possessing a user terminal (20) with a relatively small screen size would experience inconvenience (cumber) in having to perform gestures such as zooming in on the screen separately when checking the contents of each item included in the self-diagnosis list through the user terminal (20), because the text within each item is too small to grasp at a glance.

[0324] Accordingly, when the control unit (10d) displays the self-diagnosis list on the screen of the user terminal (20), it can dynamically adjust the number of items displayed on one screen of the user terminal (20) by taking into account the screen size of the user terminal (20) and the number of characters of multiple items in the self-diagnosis list.

[0325] For example, regarding the second display method, let's assume that the self-diagnosis list contains a total of 15 items, and the number of characters in the first item is 8, the number of characters in the second item is 10, the number of characters in the third item is 9, the number of characters in the fourth item is 15, the number of characters in the fifth item is 10, and so on. In this case, if the screen size of the user terminal (20) is 12 inches, the control unit (10d) can display the self-diagnosis list on the screen of the user terminal (20) using the second display method. At this time, since the total number of characters for items 1 through 5 is 52, this exceeds the preset maximum number of characters (e.g., 50 characters). Therefore, the control unit (10d) can display only up to 4 items (i.e., items 1 through 4) on the first page of the self-diagnosis list on one screen of the user terminal (20) in order to display items on the screen in increments equal to the preset maximum number of characters. The control unit (10d) can control the number of items displayed on one screen differently in this manner.

[0326] Additionally, the control unit (10d) can make the second item displayed on the screen of the user terminal (20) by determining that, when the self-diagnosis list is displayed on the screen of the user terminal (20) in a first display method, an input (press input) is made in which one of the multiple options corresponding to the first item is pressed for a preset time (e.g., 1.5 seconds) or longer in relation to the first item displayed on the screen among the multiple items, and the second item is displayed on the screen of the user terminal (20) by determining that this is a signal requesting a screen display for the second item located after the first item in the self-diagnosis list.

[0327] Additionally, when the control unit (10d) displays the self-diagnosis list on the screen using the first display method (i.e., when only one of the multiple items is displayed on one screen), each item can be displayed in a form that fills the screen of the user terminal (20) (i.e., a form that can be displayed large on one screen by maximizing the number of characters).

[0328] Regarding the first display method, for example, after the first item is displayed on the screen of the user terminal (20), the user may press and release the option 'YES' in the response box for a preset time (e.g., 1.5 seconds) or longer as a response to the first item. In this case, the control unit (10d) recognizes this as a request signal to display the second item located after the first item in the self-diagnosis list on the screen, and can automatically display the second item, which is the next item, on the screen of the user terminal (20). The control unit (10d) can display one item on the screen for each of the multiple items in the self-diagnosis list as described above.

[0329] According to this, the control unit (10d) can display the self-diagnosis list on the screen in various types (first display method to third display method) by considering the screen size of the user terminal (20) and the number of characters of each item in the self-diagnosis list, thereby allowing the user to input (select input, check) a response to each item conveniently and quickly without the hassle of separately zooming in or out of the screen, and to check each item without inconvenience. That is, the device (10) can provide the user (21) with the ability to check each of the multiple items (e.g., 40 items) included in the self-diagnosis list more quickly and conveniently without hassle, so as a result, it can provide the user (21) with convenience when self-diagnosing the current state of their target animal (2) and enable them to quickly check (check) the current state of the target animal (2).

[0330] Additionally, when the control unit (10d) receives a mediation request signal from the user terminal (20) in which the user (21) requests mediation of animal-related businesses, such as animal supply stores, hotels (animal hotels), hospitals (animal hospitals), dog cafes, and facilities, in relation to the target animal (2), the control unit (10d) may respond to the received mediation request signal and provide information on at least some of the animal-related businesses already registered in the business DB (not shown) within the device (10) to the screen of the user terminal (20). Accordingly, the control unit (10d) can mediate animal-related businesses to the user (21).

[0331] As a specific example, the control unit (10d) may display (provide) a business information provision menu in one area of ​​the screen of the user terminal (20). Here, the term "business" may refer to an offline store that provides various services related to animals, such as a pet supply store, a hotel, a hospital, or a dog cafe, as previously mentioned.

[0332] For example, when a user (21) selects a type of animal-related business on their user terminal (20) and clicks a business information provision menu displayed in a specific area of ​​the screen, the control unit (10d) can provide information on multiple animal-related businesses already registered in a business DB (not shown) in response (in particular, information on multiple animal-related businesses corresponding to the type of animal-related business selected by the user).

[0333] Here, types of animal-related businesses may include pet supply stores, hotels, hospitals, dog cafes, animal accommodation establishments (pensions), etc., and the user (21) may select any one of these multiple types.

[0334] The business DB (not shown) may store information about animal-related businesses, such as the business name, business hours, and address of the animal-related businesses. The business DB may be provided within the device (10). When the control unit (10d) provides information about multiple animal-related businesses to the screen of the user terminal (20), it may display a business map on the screen in which the locations of multiple animal-related businesses are marked with mark icons.

[0335] When displaying the business display map, the control unit (10d) can display a mark icon corresponding to an available animal-related business that is available at the time of selection among a plurality of animal-related businesses, based on the time when the user (21) selects (clicks) the business information provision menu, in a form that is easier to identify than a mark icon corresponding to an unavailable animal-related business that is not available at the time of selection.

[0336] At this time, displaying the mark icon corresponding to the available animal-related business in a form that is easier to identify than the unavailable animal-related business may mean displaying it in at least one of the following: a form displayed with a different color, a visually emphasized form (for example, the color or thickness of the border line of the mark icon corresponding to the available animal-related business may be different), and a form with an expanded size.

[0337] For example, let us assume that a user (21) wants to receive information about animal-related businesses located around him based on his current location (current GPS location information of the user terminal (20)), and the user (21) selects (clicks) the business information provision menu, and there are three animal-related businesses (for example, three animal hotels) located around the user's (21) current location. In this case, the control unit (10d) can display a business display map on the screen in which the locations of three animal-related businesses (i.e., the first animal-related business or the third animal-related business) are indicated by mark icons.

[0338] Here, each animal-related business may differ in terms of operating hours (e.g., the first animal-related business is 24 hours, the second is 6:00 to 23:00, the third is 5:00 to 23:00, etc.). In addition, each animal-related business may have different closing times (operating hours) due to personal circumstances (the personal circumstances of the owner operating each animal-related business), differences in vacation schedules, etc.

[0339] For example, let’s assume that at the time when the user (21) selects the business information provision menu (the corresponding time period), the first animal-related business and the second animal-related business are operating normally, while the third animal-related business is not currently operating due to personal circumstances. In this case, the control unit (10d) can recognize the first animal-related business and the second animal-related business as available animal-related businesses and recognize the third animal-related business as unavailable animal-related businesses.

[0340] Accordingly, the control unit (10d) can display a mark icon corresponding to an available animal-related business (i.e., a first / second animal-related business) on a business display map in a form that is easier to recognize or identify compared to a mark icon corresponding to an unavailable animal-related business (i.e., a third animal-related business). For example, the control unit (10d) can display the mark icon corresponding to an available animal-related business differently by making it larger, making it darker, or adding a blinking effect compared to the mark icon corresponding to an unavailable animal-related business.

[0341] In this way, the control unit (10d) distinguishes between the currently available animal-related businesses and the currently unavailable animal-related businesses at the time the user (21) selects the business information provision menu (selection time) by considering the business hours that take into account the closing times (sudden closing times) due to personal circumstances and vacation schedule differences of each animal-related business, thereby allowing the user (21) to more intuitively grasp information about animal-related businesses that are currently operating and available for immediate use, thus helping the user (21) to find and use available animal-related businesses quickly without getting lost.

[0342] Here, information regarding the closing times (sudden closing times) of a specific animal-related business (i.e., information on whether the business is closed due to personal circumstances, vacation periods, etc.) can be determined, for example, through real-time analysis of social data uploaded by multiple users on the internet regarding the animal-related business. This information regarding closing times may refer to information on closing times separate from the business hours registered in the business database (not shown). Social data may refer to data such as posts uploaded to Instagram, Facebook, etc., blogs on Naver, news articles, etc.

[0343] According to this, the user (21) can easily find an animal-related business located close to, for example, their current location or a specific location designated by the user, through a business map showing the locations of multiple animal-related businesses.

[0344] In particular, the user (21) can more easily and quickly find and use an animal-related business that is currently available among multiple animal-related businesses displayed on the business display map. For example, if the user (21) visits a specific animal-related business (e.g., a pet hotel or dog cafe) but it is closed due to reasons such as vacation and cannot be used, the inconvenience of having to move to find another animal-related business can be resolved. In addition, the user (21) can intuitively and quickly identify information about currently available animal-related businesses through the business display map provided via the control unit (10d) without the need for the hassle of calling each animal-related business individually to inquire whether it is currently available.

[0345] That is, according to the business display map, the user (21) can more easily and quickly find information about hotels where they can accompany their pet animal (2) when they intend to stay at a hotel, for example, and can intuitively check this information.
