Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority based on Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0111407 filed on August 31, 2017 and Korean Patent Application No. 10-2017-0174345 filed on December 18, 2017, and all the contents shown in the specifications and drawings of those patent applications are incorporated herein by reference.

[0002] The present invention relates to a technology for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, and more specifically, to a system and method for preventing the spread of infectious diseases, that is, a system and method for preventing infectious diseases occurring in some areas from spreading to the whole world by utilizing wireless communication information of mobile terminals owned by communication companies around the world. Background Art

[0003] It is common for infectious diseases such as Ebola, MERS, and Zika virus, which are a type of local infectious diseases (hereinafter, infectious diseases), to spread rapidly around the world. In 2015, South Korea also experienced a national disaster due to the influx of MERS. As in the case of Ebola virus in 2014, the death toll reached more than 11,000 worldwide. As in the case of Zika virus in 2016, it has spread to 29 countries in the past two months, causing losses to the tourism industry of approximately US$64 billion. Moreover, in the next 100 years, it is expected that at least one infectious disease will sweep the world, and the probability of more than 4 infectious diseases will also reach more than 20%. In addition, due to potential infectious diseases, it is expected that the annual average economic losses worldwide will reach more than US$60 billion.

[0004] On the other hand, infectious diseases that occur in certain areas tend to spread easily around the world for the following reasons. Many low-cost airlines have newly launched their businesses, making it easier to travel around the world. In addition, due to the increase in income, changes in attitudes towards life, and the emergence of the "YOLO" tribe, the movement of tourists and business has increased significantly. In particular, the number of tourists traveling to places such as Africa, India, and South America, which were rarely visited in the past, has gradually increased, and deadly infectious diseases that occur in these areas are likely to spread around the world.

[0005] If these infectious diseases cannot be cut off in the area where they occur, they can easily spread globally and cause huge losses. For example, in the case of MERS in South Korea in 2015, the first confirmed case was not cut off at the airport because it was not confirmed that he had visited Saudi Arabia, and it was not cut off at the hospital he first visited after the symptoms appeared. As a result, after the diagnosis of MERS, despite great efforts in epidemiological investigation and prevention, huge losses still occurred. Today, the prevention and control of infectious diseases requires management through efforts beyond the efforts of some countries and through the efforts of the whole world.

[0006] As part of this effort, most countries have made it mandatory for people returning from a visit to an infectious disease-contaminated area to report the fact that they had visited the area. However, in order to report the fact that they had visited an infectious disease-contaminated area, visitors need to know all the types of infectious diseases and information about the areas where infectious diseases occur. However, not only are there many types of infectious diseases, but the areas where infectious diseases occur may continue to change, so it is difficult to create an environment where visitors can report on their own. In addition, if it is left to be a personal obligation, the losses that will occur in the future will be huge.

[0007] Therefore, worldwide efforts are urgently needed to accurately identify people who have visited areas where infectious diseases occur and provide them with quarantine services related to the infectious disease. Summary of the invention

[0044] The above-mentioned objects, features and advantages will become more clearly understood through the following detailed description related to the accompanying drawings, and those skilled in the art can easily implement the technical ideas of the present invention according to the description. In addition, in the description of the present invention, when it is determined that the specific description of the known technology related to the present invention may unnecessarily confuse the main purpose of the present invention, the detailed description thereof is omitted. Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention is described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Using the airport's entry and exit information, it is possible to confirm whether a tourist has visited a specific country. In addition, using the credit card payment information of a financial company and the reservation information of a travel agency / insurance company / airline company, it is possible to confirm whether a tourist has visited a country or region where an infectious disease has occurred. Credit card companies can know the countries and regions visited by tourists through overseas credit card payment information or bank exchange information. In addition, travel agencies can know the countries and regions visited by tourists through flight and accommodation reservation information and traveler insurance information. However, in the case of credit cards, the fact that a tourist has visited a country can only be confirmed if the credit card is used in a country contaminated by an infectious disease, and the entire stay period cannot be confirmed. In the case of travel agencies, it is difficult to include many small and medium-sized travel agencies in the management objects.

[0046] Mobile communication users often use overseas roaming services when visiting overseas countries. Alternatively, when visiting overseas countries, mobile communication users purchase SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards locally for use. Mobile communication companies can confirm which country their users have visited when roaming overseas, but they cannot confirm which city or region of the country they have visited. Moreover, in the case where the company's users purchase SIM cards overseas for use, the mobile communication company cannot even know which country they have visited. On the other hand, whether the mobile communication user uses overseas roaming or purchases a local SIM card for use, the mobile terminal of the mobile communication user can use wireless communication services (e.g., voice calls, video calls, SMS sending and receiving, wireless Internet) through the base station responsible for the current area. Therefore, the mobile communication company of the overseas visited country that manages the base station can know the area information where the mobile terminal is located. Therefore, if mobile communication companies around the world cooperate, the wireless communication information of the mobile terminal can be used to know the country visited by the mobile communication user, and even the specific visited area. In an embodiment of the present invention, the wireless communication information of the mobile communication system can be used to confirm the visited country and the period of stay of the mobile communication user. By using wireless communication information, it is possible to know in which country and in which region the person stayed for how long, etc. If infectious disease incidence information is substituted here, the fact of visiting infectious disease contaminated countries or regions and the risk of infectious disease contamination can be analyzed for each individual.

[0047] Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a communication environment of a system for preventing the spread of infectious diseases according to an embodiment. Figure 1 The infectious disease spread prevention system 10 establishes a cooperative relationship with multiple mobile communication companies around the world and communicates with the mobile communication systems (20: 1, 2, 3, ..., N) of the multiple mobile communication companies. The infectious disease spread prevention system 10 stores and manages information on infectious diseases occurring around the world, and continuously manages visitors to infectious disease contaminated areas extracted based on wireless communication information collected by the mobile communication systems 20 of multiple mobile communication companies, thereby preventing the spread of infectious diseases around the world.

[0048] The mobile communication system 20 provides wireless communication services to mobile terminals 30 that have joined the company, mobile terminals 30 that roam from other countries, or mobile terminals 30 of tourists who purchase SIM cards in their own country for use. The mobile communication system 20 extracts information on mobile terminals 30 of people who have actually visited the infectious disease contaminated areas by matching the infectious disease information received from the infectious disease prevention system 10 and the list of mobile terminals suspected of having visited the infectious disease contaminated areas with the wireless communication information of the mobile terminals 30, and transmits the extracted information on the mobile terminals 30 to the infectious disease prevention system 10. In order to provide wireless communication services to the mobile terminals 30, the mobile communication system 20 periodically confirms the location information of the mobile terminals 30, and automatically collects the wireless communication information of the mobile terminals 30 when the power of the mobile terminals 30 is turned on. Here, the wireless communication information may include information on the areas visited by the user of the mobile terminal 30 (location information of the mobile terminal), the first visit date and the final departure date of the visited areas, identification information of the mobile terminal (e.g., IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity), MSISDN (Subscriber Mobile Number)), etc.

[0049] When a mobile terminal 30 that has joined the company moves overseas and uses overseas roaming services, the mobile communication system 20 collects the roaming data of the mobile terminal 30. For example, when the mobile terminal 30 is at a registered location of an overseas access network (for example, when the power is turned on after arriving in the country), the mobile communication system 20 collects the roaming data of the mobile terminal 30. Roaming data is information about the access network, including the communication operator information and country information of the access network. For example, when the user of the mobile terminal 30 travels in Kenya, Africa and uses overseas roaming services, the mobile communication system 20 of the local network to which the mobile terminal 30 joins, such as the Korean KT company, can use the roaming data to know that the country of the access network visited by the user of the mobile terminal 30 is Kenya. The mobile communication system 20 of the local network cannot collect information about which area of ​​Kenya the user of the mobile terminal 30 has visited. On the contrary, the mobile communication system 20 of the access network providing wireless communication services in Kenya, such as Safaricom, can collect information (visited area information) that the user of the mobile terminal 30 has visited Nairobi (the capital city) of Kenya and the areas near famous restaurants in Nairobi. In addition, the mobile communication system 20 of the local network analyzes the countries visited by the mobile terminal 30 by analyzing the SMS sending and receiving records or voice call or video call records of the mobile terminal 30 in the overseas access network.

[0050] The infectious disease spread prevention system 10 does not directly collect wireless communication information of the mobile terminal 30, but uses the wireless communication information of the mobile terminal 30 already owned by the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 to provide an infectious disease spread prevention service. The mobile communication system 20 in the embodiment refers to a collection or a single device of network devices that collects wireless communication information for preventing the spread of infectious diseases while providing mobile communication services and performs an operation to prevent the spread of infectious diseases by communicating with the infectious disease spread prevention system 10.

[0051] The mobile terminal 30 is a portable mobile communication terminal, and is a device that uses a message service, a call service, or a wireless Internet service by accessing the mobile communication system 20. When the mobile terminal 30 moves from the local network to the visited network or from the visited network to the local network, it performs location registration, and the mobile communication system 20 can confirm the current country of the mobile terminal 30 using the location information during the location registration. The mobile terminal 30 may also be referred to as UE (User Equipment), MS (Mobile Station), UT (User Terminal), SS (Subscriber Station), or other terms.

[0052] The database 40 can store information required for providing infectious disease spread prevention services and provide information requested by the infectious disease spread prevention system 10. According to an embodiment, the database 40 can store a list of mobile communication systems (20: 1, 2, 3, ..., N) in various countries, real-time updated information on infectious diseases occurring around the world, and a list of mobile terminals 30 that have visited contaminated areas.

[0053] Figure 2 To show Figure 1 A block diagram of the structure of the infectious disease spread prevention system 10. The infectious disease spread prevention system 10 includes a memory, a memory controller, one or more processors (CPU), a peripheral interface, an input / output (I / O) subsystem, a display device, an input device, and a communication circuit. Such components communicate via one or more communication buses or signal lines. Such multiple components include one or more signal processing and / or application specific integrated circuits (application specific integrated circuits) and are implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of hardware and software.

[0054] The memory may include a high-speed random access memory and may include one or more disk storage devices, non-volatile memory such as flash memory, or non-volatile semiconductor storage devices. In some embodiments, the memory may also include one or more storage devices away from the processor, such as a radio frequency circuit, the Internet, an intranet, a LAN (Local Area Network), a WLAN (Wide Area Network), a SAN (Storage Area Network), or a network-attached storage device accessed through a communication network (not shown) appropriately combined therefrom. Access to the memory by other components such as the processor and the peripheral interface device may be controlled by a memory controller.

[0055] The peripheral interface connects the input and output peripheral devices of the system to the processor and memory. One or more processors execute instruction sets stored in various software programs and / or stored in the memory to perform various functions of the system and process data. In some embodiments, the peripheral interface, processor and memory controller can be implemented on a single chip such as a chip. In some other embodiments, they can also be implemented on different chips.

[0056] The input / output (I / O) subsystem provides an interface between input and output peripherals of a device such as a display device, input device, and peripheral interfaces.

[0057] The display device may use LCD (liquid crystal display) technology or LPD (light emitting polymer display) technology, etc. Such a display device may be a capacitive, resistive, infrared, etc. touch display. The touch display provides an output interface and an input interface between the system and the user. The touch display displays visual output to the user. The visual output may include text, graphics, video, and a combination thereof. Part or all of the visual output may correspond to a user interface object. The touch display forms a touch-sensitive surface that receives user input.

[0058] The processor is configured to perform system-related operations and execute instructions. For example, the processor can use instructions retrieved from memory to control the receipt and operation of input and output data between system components.

[0059] In some embodiments, the software components are operating systems, graphics modules (instruction sets), and programs for performing the operations of the present invention are loaded (set) in the memory. The operating system can be a built-in operating system, for example, Darwin, RTXC, LINUX, UNIX, OSX, WINDOWS or VxWorks, Android, iOS, etc., and includes various software components and / or devices for controlling and managing general system tasks (tasks) (for example, memory management, storage device control, power management, etc.), and promotes communication between various hardware and software components. The graphics module includes a well-known plurality of software components for providing and displaying graphics on a display device. The term "graphics" infinitely includes text, web pages, icons (for example, user interface objects including custom function keys), digital images, videos, animations, etc., including all objects that can be displayed to the user.

[0060] The communication circuit may include an Ethernet communication circuit and a radio frequency circuit. The Ethernet communication circuit performs wireless communication, and the radio frequency circuit receives and transmits electromagnetic waves. The radio frequency circuit converts electrical signals into electromagnetic waves or vice versa, and communicates with the communication network, other mobile gateways and communication devices through the electromagnetic waves. The radio frequency circuit includes, for example, an antenna system, a radio frequency transmitter, one or more amplifiers, a tuner, one or more oscillators, a digital signal processor, a CODEC (codec) chipset, a memory, etc., but may also include well-known circuits for performing such functions that are not limited thereto. The radio frequency circuit can communicate with other devices through wireless networks such as cellular telephone networks, wireless LANs (local area networks) and / or MANs (metropolitan area networks), and can also communicate with other devices through short-range wireless communications.

[0061] refer to Figure 2 The infectious disease spread prevention system 10 may include a contaminated area information collection unit 11, an infectious disease consultation unit 12, a communication system linkage unit 13, and a contaminated area visitor management unit 14. These may be implemented in software and stored in a memory and executed by a processor, or may be implemented and executed in a module form of a combination of software and hardware.

[0062] The contaminated area information collection unit 11 can collect infectious disease information from various websites that provide information on infectious diseases occurring around the world and store it in the database 40. For example, the contaminated area information collection unit 11 can search for infectious disease information on websites such as WHO IHR (World Health Organization International Health Regulations), Promed (Global Infectious Disease Epidemic Information Collection System), GPHIN (Global Public Health Intelligence Network), etc. and store it in the database 40. The infectious disease information may include at least one of the name of the infectious disease, the date of occurrence of the infectious disease, the date of end of the infectious disease, the name of the contaminated country, and the name of the contaminated area.

[0063] According to the embodiment, since the information stored in the database 40 needs to be transmitted to the mobile communication systems 20 of various countries and used as data based on location analysis, the polluted area information collection unit 11 converts the text (TEXT) information of the relevant area into a form for GIS (Geographic Information System) analysis and stores it additionally. An example of this is shown in the following Table 1.

[0064] [Table 1]

[0065]

[0066] The infectious disease consultation unit 12 receives consent for the collection and use of personal information from a person who wants to use the infectious disease spread prevention service (hereinafter referred to as a service user), and collects identification information (e.g., IMEI) of the service user's mobile terminal 30 and information of the mobile communication system 20 to which the user is subscribed. The consent for the collection and use of personal information may include consent to matters such as the purpose of the collection and use of personal information (e.g., providing consulting services on visiting infectious disease contaminated areas), information to be used (e.g., wireless communication information between a mobile terminal and a base station collected by a mobile communication system), the period of collection and use of personal information (e.g., the same as the period of the incubation period of an infectious disease), and the disposal of personal information (e.g., disposal when the use of the service is terminated).

[0067] The infectious disease consultation unit 12 can provide the service user with information related to infectious diseases. The infectious disease consultation unit 12 transmits infectious disease related information corresponding to each situation to the mobile terminal 30 of the service user when the service user first enters the infectious disease contaminated area, or during the incubation period of the infectious disease, or at the end of the incubation period of the infectious disease, based on the analysis results of the contaminated area visitor management unit 14. The infectious disease related information can be an SMS message or an MMS message.

[0068] The communication system linkage unit 13 transmits and receives data by linkage with multiple mobile communication systems 20 around the world. The communication system linkage unit 13 can transmit the infectious disease information collected by the contaminated area information collection unit 11 and the personal information collection and utilization consent collected by the infectious disease consultation unit 12 to multiple mobile communication systems 20. In addition, the communication system linkage unit 13 can receive information about mobile terminals that visit contaminated areas (hereinafter referred to as "contaminated area access terminal information") from multiple mobile communication systems 20. The communication system linkage unit 13 refers to the database 40 to confirm the mobile communication systems 20 to which multiple service users have respectively joined, classifies the service users according to the mobile communication systems 20, and transmits the infectious disease information and the identification information (for example, IMEI) of the service user's mobile terminal 30 and the personal information collection and utilization consent to each mobile communication system 20.

[0069] The communication system linkage unit 13 can manage multiple mobile communication systems 20 around the world in a fixed numbering manner, and the fixed numbering can use the code defined in ITU-T Recommendation E.212 (International Telecommunication Union Recommendation E.212). The code consists of a 3-digit country code and a 3-digit operator code, and the communication system linkage unit 13 manages multiple mobile communication systems 20 around the world by adding linkage information next to the code. According to an embodiment, after the communication system linkage unit 13 classifies the infectious disease information collected by the contaminated area information collection unit 11 by country, it provides each mobile communication system 20 with only the infectious disease information that occurs in the area served by the mobile communication system 20.

[0070] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing information transmitted by each mobile communication system in a system for preventing the spread of infectious diseases according to an embodiment. Figure 3For example, the communication system linkage unit 13 can distinguish between a plurality of mobile terminals (11, 12, 13, ..., 1N) joining the first mobile communication system 1, a plurality of mobile terminals (21, 22, 23, ..., 2N) joining the second mobile communication system 2, and a plurality of mobile terminals (N1, N2, N3, ..., NN) joining the Nth mobile communication system N, and transmit the infectious disease information occurring in the area served by each mobile communication system 20, as well as the identification information (e.g., IMEI, IMSI) and the consent for the collection and use of personal information of the mobile terminal 30 joining each mobile communication system 20. Therefore, the communication system linkage unit 13 transmits the identification information (e.g., IMEI, IMSI) and the consent for the collection and use of personal information of the mobile terminal 30 of the service user to each mobile communication system 20, thereby solving the security problem and resource waste problem that may occur when the consent for the collection and use of personal information and the identification information (e.g., IMEI, IMSI) of all service users in the world are transmitted to a plurality of mobile communication systems 20 in the same manner.

[0071] The plurality of mobile communication systems 20 that receive consent for the collection and use of personal information from the communication system linkage unit 13 respectively extract the mobile terminals 30 that have the consent for the collection and use of personal information from the mobile terminals that have joined the company's mobile communication system 20, and determine the mobile terminals 30 among the extracted mobile terminals 30 that have not connected to the company's network within a preset period or have a history of overseas roaming services as terminals with unknown whereabouts.

[0072] Figure 4 FIG. 1 is a diagram showing that each mobile communication system transmits information about unknown terminals to an infectious disease spread prevention system according to an embodiment. Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, the first mobile communication system 1 determines the mobile terminal 30 that has not accessed the company's network within a preset period or has an overseas roaming service history among the multiple mobile terminals (11, 12, 13, ..., 1N) received from the communication system linkage unit 13 as an unknown terminal (12, 15, 17, 18). The second mobile communication system 2 and the Nth mobile communication system N can also respectively determine the unknown terminal (21, 22, 25, 26) and the unknown terminal (N1, N2, N3) in the same way. Afterwards, the first, second, and Nth mobile communication systems (1, 2, N) transmit the unknown terminal information including the identification information (for example, IMEI) of the unknown terminal to the communication system linkage unit 13.

[0073] Figure 5 The figure is a diagram showing a list of all unknown terminals created by a system for preventing the spread of infectious diseases according to an embodiment of the present invention by aggregating the unknown terminal information received from multiple mobile communication systems. Figure 5The communication system linkage unit 13 receives the unknown terminal information from each mobile communication system 20 and generates an unknown terminal list. Figure 4 As shown, the unknown terminal information is received from the first, second, and N mobile communication systems (1, 2, N) respectively, and then the unknown terminal information is collected and generated as shown in FIG. Figure 5 The whereabouts unknown terminal list shown in the figure. The whereabouts unknown terminal list generated in this way can be shared by the first, second, and Nth mobile communication systems (1, 2, N).

[0074] The communication system linkage unit 13 transmits a list of unknown terminals to the plurality of mobile communication systems 20, and receives information on terminals visiting contaminated areas from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20. In this case, the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 extract base stations set in contaminated areas by matching the information on infectious disease contaminated areas received from the communication system linkage unit 13 with the base station information managed by the company, and extract mobile terminals 30 having communication history with the extracted base stations. The plurality of mobile communication systems 20 respectively determine the mobile terminals 30 included in the list of unknown terminals among the extracted mobile terminals as terminals visiting contaminated areas, and transmit to the communication system linkage unit 13 the terminal information including identification information (e.g., IMEI) of the terminal visiting contaminated areas, the infectious disease contaminated areas visited, the names of infectious diseases, and the terminal information on the contaminated areas visited during the visit. Figure 6 A diagram showing that each mobile communication system 20 transmits the information of the terminal accessing the contaminated area to the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 according to an embodiment.

[0075] The contaminated area visitor management unit 14 classifies the contaminated area visit terminal information received from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 for each infectious disease, generates a contaminated area visit terminal list for each infectious disease, and stores the list in the database 40 . Figure 7 The figure is a diagram showing a list of all terminals visiting a contaminated area created by a system for preventing the spread of infectious diseases according to an embodiment of the present invention by aggregating information of terminals visiting a contaminated area received from a plurality of mobile communication systems. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The polluted area visitor management unit 14 transmits the information to the communication system linkage unit 13 through the aggregated mobile communication system (1, 2, N). Figure 6 The polluted area access terminal information shown is used to generate Figure 7 The list of terminals visiting the contaminated areas for each infectious disease is shown. The list of terminals visiting the contaminated areas may include identification information (e.g., IMEI), the name of the infectious disease, the first visit date, the last visit date, and the remaining incubation period days of the terminals visiting the contaminated areas.

[0076] According to the embodiment, the contaminated area visitor management unit 14 adds, updates, and deletes the contaminated area visitor terminal information received from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 at a certain period, and manages the infectious disease contaminated area visitors through the contaminated area visitor terminal list.

[0077] When the polluted area visitor management unit 14 initially transmits the polluted area visit terminal and the database 40 does not store the record, the polluted area visit terminal information is added to the polluted area visit terminal list for storage. In this case, the infectious disease consultation unit 12 transmits the fact of entering the polluted area to the polluted area visit terminal when the polluted area visit terminal is initially added to the polluted area visit terminal list. The infectious disease consultation unit 12 can transmit the name of the infectious disease occurring in the polluted area, the symptoms of the infectious disease, and the measures to be taken when the symptoms appear to the polluted area visit terminal in the form of SMS messages, MMS messages, or push messages of smartphone applications (Applications).

[0078] When there is a record of the contaminated area visitor terminal stored in the database 40, the contaminated area visitor management unit 14 first confirms whether the name of the infectious disease is the same. If the same, the last visit date is changed to the most recently received date, and the remaining incubation period days are recalculated, thereby updating the contaminated area visitor terminal list. In this case, the infectious disease consultation unit 12 can transmit information related to the infectious disease within the incubation period to the contaminated area visitor terminal in the form of an SMS message or an MMS message. In the case where the names of the infectious diseases of the same contaminated area visitor terminal are different, the contaminated area visitor management unit 14 determines that the new infectious disease has been exposed, and generates data together with the infectious disease name and adds it to the contaminated area visitor terminal list related to the infectious disease.

[0079] The contaminated area visitor management unit 14 updates the contaminated area visitor terminal list at regular intervals. When the contaminated area visitor terminal list is updated, information on contaminated area visitor terminals whose latent periods are determined to have ended is individually calculated and deleted from the contaminated area visitor terminal list.

[0080] Figure 7 This is an example of the polluted area visitor management unit 14 calculating the polluted area visitor terminal information determined to be at the end of the latent period, assuming that the current date is March 2, 2017. Figure 7In the case of the mobile terminal 17, the contaminated area visitor management unit 14 determines that the incubation period has ended (remaining incubation period days = 0) in the last updated contaminated area visitor terminal list when the result of the last visit date (e.g., 2017.02.10) plus the incubation period days (14 days) (e.g., 2017.02.24) is earlier than the current date (2017.03.02), and deletes the mobile terminal 17 from the contaminated area visitor terminal list. When deleting the contaminated area visitor terminal from the contaminated area visitor terminal list, the infectious disease consultation unit 12 notifies the contaminated area visitor terminal of the fact that the incubation period has ended by means of an SMS message or an MMS message.

[0081] Figure 8 FIG. 1 is a flow chart illustrating a method for preventing the spread of infectious diseases according to an embodiment. Figure 8 The method for preventing the spread of infectious diseases includes an information collection step S81, a contaminated area access terminal information receiving step S83, a contaminated area access terminal list generating step S85, and a contaminated area access terminal list managing step S87.

[0082] In step S81, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 collects infectious disease information occurring around the world from websites providing infectious disease information and stores it in the database 40. For example, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 retrieves infectious disease information from websites such as WHO IHR, Promed, and GPHIN and stores it in the database 40. The infectious disease information includes at least one of the name of the infectious disease, the date of occurrence of the infectious disease, the date of end of the infectious disease, the name of the contaminated country, and the name of the contaminated area.

[0083] Furthermore, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 receives consent for the collection and use of personal information from a service user who wants to use the infectious disease spread prevention service, and collects identification information (e.g., IMEI) of the service user's mobile terminal 30 and information of the mobile communication system 20 to which the user is subscribed. The consent for the collection and use of personal information includes consent for matters such as the purpose of the collection and use of personal information (e.g., providing consulting services on visiting infectious disease contaminated areas), information to be used (e.g., wireless communication information between a terminal and a base station collected by a mobile communication company), the period of collection and use of personal information (e.g., the same as the incubation period of an infectious disease), and the disposal of personal information (e.g., disposal when the service is terminated).

[0084] In step S83 , the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 transmits the infectious disease information and the personal information collection and utilization consent to the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 , and receives the contaminated area access terminal information from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 .

[0085] Fig. 9 For detailed description Figure 8Flow chart of the steps for receiving information about a polluted area access terminal. Fig. 9 The step S83 for receiving terminal information for visiting polluted areas includes a step S831 for transmitting information according to each mobile communication system, a step S833 for receiving terminal information with unknown whereabouts, a step S835 for generating a list of terminals with unknown whereabouts, a step S837 for transmitting the list of terminals with unknown whereabouts, and a step S839 for storing terminal information for visiting polluted areas.

[0086] In step S831, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 refers to the database 40 to confirm the mobile communication systems 20 to which the plurality of service users have joined, and classifies the service users for each mobile communication system 20. Furthermore, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 transmits infectious disease information, identification information (e.g., IMEI) of the mobile terminal 30 of the service user, and consent for the collection and use of personal information for each mobile communication system 20. The plurality of mobile communication systems 20 that receive the consent for the collection and use of personal information from the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 respectively extract the mobile terminals 30 that have consent for the collection and use of personal information from the mobile terminals 30 that have joined the company's mobile communication system 20, and judge the mobile terminals 30 that have not accessed the company's network within a preset period or have overseas roaming service records as unknown terminals.

[0087] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 For example, the first mobile communication system 1 determines the mobile terminal 30 that has not accessed the company's network within a preset period or has an overseas roaming service history among the multiple mobile terminals (11, 12, 13, ..., 1N) received from the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 as an unknown terminal (12, 15, 17, 18). The second mobile communication system 2 and the Nth mobile communication system N can also respectively determine the unknown terminal (21, 22, 25, 26) and the unknown terminal (N1, N2, N3) in the same way. Afterwards, the first, second, and Nth mobile communication systems (1, 2, N) transmit the unknown terminal information including the identification information (for example, IMEI) of the unknown terminal to the infectious disease spread prevention system 10.

[0088] In step S833, the infectious disease prevention system 10 receives the unknown terminal information from each mobile communication system 20. According to one embodiment, the infectious disease prevention system 10 receives the unknown terminal information from multiple mobile communication systems 20 around the world at a preset period and stores it in the database 40.

[0089] In step S835, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 collects the unknown terminal information received from each mobile communication system 20 to generate an unknown terminal list. Figure 4As shown, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 receives the unknown terminal information from the 1st, 2nd, and Nth mobile communication systems (1, 2, N) respectively, and then summarizes it and generates the following Figure 5 The list of unknown terminals is shown.

[0090] In step S837, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 transmits a list of unknown terminals to multiple mobile communication systems 20. According to one embodiment, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 transmits a list of unknown terminals to multiple mobile communication systems 20 at preset intervals. According to another embodiment, when the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 receives a request for a list of unknown terminals from any mobile communication system 20, it transmits the list of unknown terminals to the requested mobile communication system 20 respectively. The multiple mobile communication systems 20 that receive infectious disease information, etc. respectively match the information related to the contaminated area with the information of the base stations managed by the company to extract the base stations set up in the contaminated area, and extract the mobile terminals 30 that have a history of communicating with the extracted base stations. The multiple mobile communication systems 20 respectively determine the mobile terminals 30 included in the list of unknown terminals among the extracted mobile terminals as contaminated area visiting terminals, and transmit to the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 the identification information of the contaminated area visiting terminals (for example, IMEI), the infectious disease contaminated areas visited, the name of the infectious disease, and the contaminated area visiting terminal information during the visit. For example, Figure 6 An example of the contaminated area access terminal information transmitted by the mobile communication system (1, 2, N) to the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 is shown.

[0091] In step S839 , the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 receives the contaminated area access terminal information from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 and stores the information in the database 40 .

[0092] Refer again Figure 8 In step S85, as shown in FIG. Fig. 9 As described above, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 classifies the contaminated area access terminal information received from the plurality of mobile communication systems 20 for each infectious disease and generates a contaminated area access terminal list for each infectious disease and stores it in the database 40. Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 summarizes the mobile communication system (1, 2, N) transmitted to the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 Figure 6 The polluted area access terminal information shown is generated as follows Figure 7 The list of terminals visiting the contaminated areas for each infectious disease is shown, wherein the list of terminals visiting the contaminated areas includes identification information (e.g., IMEI), the name of the infectious disease, the first visit date, the last visit date, and the remaining incubation period days of the terminals visiting the contaminated areas.

[0093] In step S87, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 manages the list of contaminated area access terminals by adding, updating, and deleting the contaminated area access terminal information transmitted from multiple mobile communication systems 20 at regular intervals. When the contaminated area access terminal is initially transmitted and there is no storage record in the database 40, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 adds the contaminated area access terminal information to the contaminated area access terminal list for storage. In this case, when the contaminated area access terminal is initially added to the contaminated area access terminal list, the fact of entering the contaminated area is transmitted to the contaminated area access terminal. According to an embodiment, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 can transmit the name of the infectious disease occurring in the contaminated area, the symptoms of the infectious disease, and the measures to be taken when the symptoms appear, etc. to the contaminated area access terminal in the form of SMS messages or MMS messages. In addition, when the database 40 has a storage record of the contaminated area access terminal, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 first confirms whether the name of the infectious disease is the same. If the same, the last access date is changed to the most recently received date, and the remaining incubation period days are recalculated, thereby updating the list of contaminated area access terminals. In this case, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 can transmit information related to the infectious disease to the contaminated area access terminal in the form of SMS messages or MMS messages during the incubation period. If the names of the infectious diseases for the same contaminated area access terminal are different, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 determines that a new infectious disease has been exposed, and generates data together with the name of the infectious disease and adds it to the list of contaminated area access terminals for the infectious disease. In addition, the infectious disease spread prevention system 10 can update the list of contaminated area access terminals at regular intervals. If the list of contaminated area access terminals is updated, the information of the contaminated area access terminals that are determined to have ended the incubation period is calculated and deleted from the list of contaminated area access terminals. For example, Figure 7 This is an example of calculating the terminal access information of the contaminated area determined to have ended the incubation period, assuming that the current date is March 2, 2017. Figure 7 In the case of a mobile terminal 17 that has been deleted, the infectious disease prevention system 10 determines that the incubation period has ended (remaining incubation period days = 0) in the last updated list of contaminated area visiting terminals, when the result of the last visit date (e.g., 2017.02.10) plus the number of days in the latent period (14 days) (e.g., 2017.02.24) is earlier than the current date (2017.03.02), and deletes the mobile terminal 17 from the list of contaminated area visiting terminals. When deleting a contaminated area visiting terminal from the list of contaminated area visiting terminals, the infectious disease prevention system 10 notifies the contaminated area visiting terminal of the fact that the incubation period has ended by means of an SMS message or an MMS message.
