[0060] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the analysis unit (120) can derive appearance information and species information of a pet based on the first sensing information.

[0061] For example, the analysis unit (120) can derive appearance information and species information of a pet based on at least one of first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located within a pre-set distance from a pre-registered caregiver, derived based on first sensing information generated by a camera sensor provided or linked to the user terminal (200).

[0062] Additionally, the analysis unit (120) can derive appearance information and species information of a pet based on at least one of first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located within a predetermined distance from a pet expert of a registered company, derived based on first sensing information generated by at least one sensor provided or linked to the company terminal (300), and pet expert opinion information.

[0063] Additionally, the analysis unit (120) can derive appearance information and species information of a pet based on at least one of first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information including multiple pieces of information derived based on first sensing information generated by a plurality of sensors equipped in a pet wearable device (400).

[0064] Additionally, the analysis unit (120) can derive appearance information and species information of the pet based on at least one of first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located, in addition to the distance from the previously registered caregiver, which is derived based on first sensing information generated by at least one of at least one camera sensor provided in the target space where the pet is located.

[0065] For example, appearance information may include body hair volume information.

[0066] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of appearance information and species information.

[0067] For example, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the appearance information and species information of the pet, derived based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and the first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located within a pre-set distance from a pre-registered caregiver.

[0068] Additionally, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and the first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located within a pre-set distance from a pet expert of a registered company, and at least one of the pet appearance information and species information derived based on the pet expert's opinion information.

[0069] Additionally, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information derived based on a plurality of sensors provided in the pet wearable device (400) and at least one of the first physical characteristic information including a plurality of information derived based on a first psychological characteristic information and at least one of the pet appearance information and species information derived based on a plurality of information.

[0070] Additionally, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the appearance information and species information of the pet derived based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located in addition to the previously registered caregiver and the previously set distance.

[0071] For example, if the amount of body hair of a pet exceeds a preset level, the style suggestion unit (130) generates recommended style information including a first hairstyle group containing multiple long-haired hairstyles, the simulation unit generates multiple simulations in which each of the multiple long-haired hairstyles included in the first hairstyle group is applied to a virtual character, the transmission and reception unit transmits the recommended style information, the simulation with the recommended style information applied, and whether a request for a business reservation corresponding to the recommended style information is made to the user terminal (200), and when user input corresponding to the selection of a hairstyle and a business reservation is made on the application provided to the user terminal (200), the business relay unit can transmit a reservation request corresponding to the user input to the relevant business. Here, if the amount of body hair of a pet is less than a preset level, the style suggestion unit (130) generates recommended style information including a second hairstyle group containing multiple short-haired hairstyles, and the same process as in the case of the first hairstyle group can be performed.

[0072] The device (100) according to one embodiment of the present invention may further include a receiving unit that receives at least one of information among waiting information and end information.

[0073] For example, the receiver may receive current atmospheric information or atmospheric information after a preset time. The receiver may receive species information and use it as basic information for the analysis unit (120) to determine the species information of the target pet. The atmospheric information may include temperature, humidity, fine dust levels, etc.

[0074] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information by taking into account waiting information.

[0075] For example, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the appearance information and species information of a pet and waiting information derived based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in a situation where the pet is located within a pre-set distance from a pre-registered caregiver.

[0077] Additionally, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the appearance information and species information of a pet and atmospheric information derived based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and at least one of the first physical characteristic information including a plurality of information derived based on the first sensing information generated by a plurality of sensors provided in the pet wearable device (400).

[0078] Additionally, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information based on at least one of the appearance information and species information of the pet and waiting information derived based on at least one of the first psychological characteristic information and first physical characteristic information in the situation where the pet is located, in addition to the distance from the previously registered caregiver and previously set.

[0079] For example, if the amount of body hair of a pet exceeds a preset level and the temperature included in the atmospheric information exceeds a preset level, the style suggestion unit (130) generates recommended style information including a second hairstyle group including multiple short hair hairstyles, the simulation unit generates multiple simulations in which each of the multiple short hair hairstyles included in the second hairstyle group is applied to a virtual character, the transmission and reception unit transmits the recommended style information, the simulation with the recommended style information applied, and whether there is a request for a company reservation corresponding to the recommended style information to the user terminal (200), and if user input corresponding to the selection of a hairstyle and a company reservation is made on the application provided to the user terminal (200), the company relay unit can transmit a reservation request corresponding to the user input to the relevant company.

[0080] As another example, based on the species information of the pet stored in the database, if the pet is determined to be a species that is sensitive to cold and sensitive to heat, and the amount of body hair exceeds a preset level and the temperature exceeds a preset level, the style suggestion unit (130) can generate recommended style information including a third hairstyle group composed of a plurality of long-haired hairstyles and a plurality of short-haired hairstyles, wherein the proportion of long-haired hairstyles is higher than the proportion of short-haired hairstyles.

[0081] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the sensor unit (110) can generate second sensing information by sensing a pet after applying at least one of the products and services of a related company.
