[0027] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the attached drawings so that those skilled in the art can easily implement the invention. However, the present invention may be embodied in various different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein.

[0028] Now, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0029] delete

[0030] FIG. 1 is a drawing showing a drive-through medical treatment system according to one embodiment.

[0031] The drive-through medical system (1) can be applied to a drive-through clinic where multiple medical shelters are located and a patient in a vehicle travels between the multiple medical shelters to receive medical treatment. In each of the multiple medical shelters, an event (such as payment, appointment, etc.) related to examination, treatment, or either examination and treatment is performed, and appropriate devices are provided according to the tasks performed by each medical shelter. Hereinafter, the equipment provided in each medical shelter is defined as a medical device. When medical treatment is performed at a medical shelter, a doctor may be located at the medical shelter, and when an examination is conducted at a medical shelter, a specialist doctor or engineer may be located there.

[0032] The drive-through medical system (1) includes a plurality of medical devices (10_1-10_n) and a central management device (20).

[0033] As illustrated in FIG. 1, necessary information is transmitted and received between adjacent medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) among a plurality of medical devices via a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), and necessary information is transmitted and received between a vehicle entering the drive-through medical system (1) and the plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) via a Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN).

[0034] A user (service user) utilizing the drive-through medical service boards the vehicle (30). If the vehicle (30) is unable to communicate with multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n), a personal terminal used by the service user can be applied to the drive-through medical service instead of the vehicle (30).

[0035] Each of the plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) includes various configurations necessary to perform medical treatment on a service user for at least one specific subject. Each of the plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) is fixed at a specific location and can process information regarding medical results input by a doctor performing the treatment and transmit it to an adjacent medical device and a central management device (20). Additionally, each of the plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) can receive information about a service user from a vehicle (30) and display the received information about the service user externally so that it can be considered for treatment.

[0036] The central management device (20) receives information regarding treatment results and information regarding service users from multiple treatment devices (10_1 to 10_n), identifies the progress of the drive-through treatment, and, based on the identified situation, transmits necessary information and control commands to each of the multiple treatment devices (10_1 to 10_n) so that the treatment required for the service user can proceed. At this time, the central management device (20) determines and updates the communication protocol and data format for data transmission and reception between the vehicle (30) and the multiple treatment devices (10_1 to 10_n) according to the vehicle (30), and notifies the multiple treatment devices (10_1 to 10_n) of this.

[0037] The communication method between multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) is not limited to WLAN, and the communication method between the vehicle (30) and the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) is not limited to WPAN. One of various communication methods may be applied to the drive-through medical system (1) according to one embodiment.

[0038] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the configuration of a vehicle and a medical device according to one embodiment.

[0039] As shown in FIG. 2, the vehicle (30) includes a sensor unit (31), a data processing / formatting unit (32), and a communication unit (33).

[0040] The sensor unit (31) may include various sensors capable of determining the current status of a service user riding in the vehicle (30). For example, the sensor unit (31) may include a camera capable of capturing an image of the service user, a heart rate sensor capable of detecting the service user's heart rate, a temperature sensor capable of measuring the service user's body temperature, a sensor capable of recording the service user's voice, etc.

[0041] The data processing / formatting unit (32) can collect and process information about service users to generate service user information and determine a data format suitable for the generated service user information.

[0042] The data processing / formatting unit (32) can process information about a service user obtained through the sensor unit (31) without separate interpretation. For example, the data processing / formatting unit (32) can process information about a service user, including a video of the service user's face, the service user's body temperature and heart rate during a predetermined monitoring period, and the service user's voice data, according to a pre-set data format.

[0043] Alternatively, the data processing / formatting unit (32) may interpret information about the service user obtained through the sensor unit (31) and include it in the service user information. For example, the data processing / formatting unit (32) may extract the maximum heart rate of the service user during the monitoring period, extract the maximum value from the service user's voice, and extract the highest temperature among the body temperatures. Furthermore, the data processing / formatting unit (32) may estimate at least one of the service user's health status and emotional status based on the captured video of the service user. In this case, the data processing / formatting unit (32) may process the service user information into a text-format data format that includes at least one of the service user's health status and emotional status, maximum heart rate, maximum voice, and highest body temperature, instead of a preset data format.

[0044] Additionally, the data processing / formatting unit (32) can process the service user information in JSON format when the capacity of the service user information exceeds a predetermined threshold.

[0045] The communication unit (33) can transmit service user information generated from the data processing / formatting unit (32) to multiple medical devices (10_1~10_n) in a WPAN manner.

[0046] FIG. 2 illustrates two medical devices (10_1, 10_2) among a plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n). In one embodiment, the plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) are described as having the same configuration. However, the invention is not limited thereto, and other configurations may be added as necessary, or unnecessary configurations may be excluded.

[0047] The medical device (10_1) includes a control unit (111), a first communication unit (112), a data gateway (113), a data processing unit (114), an analysis / formatting unit (115), a distance determining unit (116), a state mode unit (117), and a processor (118).

[0048] The control unit (111) monitors the operations performed by the medical device and can control each component according to the monitoring results. For example, if the communication protocol between the vehicle (30) and the medical device (10_1 to 10_n) is different, or if the data format of the service user information received from the vehicle (30) is different from the protocol or data format set in the medical device (10_1), the central management device (20) is notified of this via the modem (120) and requests information to set the protocol and data format. When information regarding the protocol and data format is received via the modem (120), the control unit (111) transmits the received information to the analysis / format unit (115).

[0049] The first communication unit (112) can request information necessary for medical services from the vehicle (30) or receive it from the vehicle (30) through WPAN-style communication with the communication unit (33) of the vehicle (30). Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), which is one of the WPAN methods, can be applied as a communication method between the vehicle (30) and a plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) in one embodiment.

[0050] The data gateway (113) transmits data received from the first communication unit (112) to the data processing unit (114) and transmits data received from the data processing unit (114) to the first communication unit (112) to perform data communication between the vehicle and the medical device (10_1).

[0051] The data processing unit (114) generates medical data by processing the data received from the data gateway (113) according to the data format selected by the analysis / format unit (115). The data processing unit (114) can transmit the medical data to the module processor (118).

[0052] The analysis / format unit (115) analyzes the data received from the data gateway (113) and selects a data format. Based on the results of analyzing the received data, the analysis / format unit (115) selects a protocol and format that can be used for data processing from a protocol and format table and can notify the data processing unit (114) of the selected data format. If there is no protocol and format that can be used for data processing in the protocol and format table, the analysis / format unit (115) can notify the control unit (111) that there is no protocol and format suitable for the data received from the vehicle (30). In this case, the control unit (111) can request information about the protocol and format from the central management device (20) via the modem (120). In response to the request, the central management device (20) can transmit information about the changed protocol and format to the modem (120). The control unit (111) transmits information about the new protocol and format received via the modem to the analysis / format unit (115). The analysis / formatting unit (115) can add the received protocol and format to the protocol and formatting table, select a data format, and transmit it to the data processing unit (114).

[0053] The distance determining unit (116) measures the strength of a signal received from the vehicle (30) and can estimate the distance between the vehicle (30) and a medical shelter (e.g., a medical shelter where the medical device 10_1 is located) based on the measured Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). If the estimated distance is within a predetermined reference distance, the distance determining unit (116) determines that the vehicle (30) has entered the medical shelter and can generate an Enable signal.

[0054] When the state mode unit (117) receives an enable signal from the distance determination unit (116), it enables the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) in synchronization with the enable signal.

[0055] The module processor (118) performs information processing necessary for performing medical treatment through the medical device (10_1) based on medical data received from the data processing unit (114). For example, it processes information necessary for performing various operations related to medical services, such as receiving medical results, processing and displaying received medical results, receiving information from a service user or doctor, or displaying information necessary for a service user or doctor. The module processor (118) may be provided in each medical device and may process information necessary according to the medical treatment or work performed by the medical device.

[0056] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a protocol and format determination according to one embodiment.

[0057] As illustrated in FIG. 3, the central management unit (20) manages the protocol and format map in pairs consisting of a protocol and a data format. In the table on the left in FIG. 3, “idx” indicates an index number, “protocol” indicates a communication protocol method between the vehicle (30) and a plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n), “Data format” indicates a data format transmitted and received through communication between the vehicle (30) and a plurality of medical devices (10_1 to 10_n), and “Rank” indicates a ranking based on the usage rate and transmission / reception success rate of the protocol and format pairs corresponding to each index number in terms of statistics.

[0058] The central management unit (20) includes a client (21), an analysis decision unit (22), a reconstruction unit (23), and a remapping unit (24).

[0059] The client (21) can collect information about protocols and formats from multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) and transmit information about updated protocols and formats to the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n). The information about protocols and formats from the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) may include requests for new protocols and formats received from the medical devices, information about whether the current protocols and formats are being used, and information about the success / failure of transmissions performed with the current protocols and formats.

[0060] The analysis decision unit (22) analyzes information on protocols and formats collected by the client (21) to calculate the usage rate and data transmission success rate for each pair within the protocol and format group as shown in the left table of FIG. 3, and sets the ranking for each pair according to the usage rate and data transmission success rate. The analysis decision unit (22) can set the ranking for each pair in descending order from the highest value based on the sum of the values ​​obtained by multiplying the usage rate and success rate by the reflection ratio.

[0061] The analysis decision unit (22) can make a decision to discard pairs below a certain level, such as when the usage rate and success rate are each lower than a predetermined threshold, or when the sum of the values ​​obtained by multiplying the usage rate and success rate by the reflection ratio is lower than a predetermined threshold. The analysis decision unit (22) can transmit the decision to discard to the reconstruction unit (23).

[0062] The reconfiguration unit (23) can generate a new protocol and format pair if there is a discarded pair among the protocol and format groups. The reconfiguration unit (23) can arbitrarily reconfigure the new data format. For example, if the protocol and format pair with “idx” 2 in the left table in FIG. 3 is discarded, the data format can be reconfigured as the protocol and format pair with “idx” 3 in the right table in FIG. 3.

[0063] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of reconstructing a data format according to one embodiment.

[0064] The reconstruction unit (23) can reconstruct the data format in various ways in addition to the data format introduced in FIG. 3.

[0065] As illustrated in FIG. 4, the data format can be implemented in the order of a preamble, headers, and data. Various data may be located in multiple format spaces (AH) located between the header and text data, as shown in (1) of FIG. 4. Additionally, an extended service set ESS1-ESS3 may be located between the header and text data, as shown in (2) of FIG. 4.

[0066] The reconstruction unit (23) transmits a new protocol and format pair containing a new data format to the remapping unit (24).

[0067] The remapping unit (24) performs remapping on a protocol and format group arbitrarily by including a new protocol and format pair generated by the reconstruction unit (23), excluding the protocol and format pair discarded by the analysis decision unit (22). Then, as shown in the table on the right in FIG. 3, a new protocol and format pair (TCP+Binary) of “idx” 3 is added, and the existing protocol and format pair (TCP+(Binary+Plain Text+Binary)) of “idx” 2 is deleted.

[0068] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a drive-through medical treatment method according to one embodiment.

[0069] First, the vehicle (30) approaches the drive-through clinic, and a signal from the vehicle (30) is detected by the distance determining unit (116) (S1).

[0070] The distance determining unit (116) collects signals received from the vehicle (30) and calculates the average of the strengths of the received signals (S2).

[0071] The distance determining unit (116) determines whether the average of the calculated received signal strengths is greater than a predetermined reference value (-70dBm) (S3).

[0072] When the average of the received signal strengths is greater than the reference value as a result of the judgment in step S3, the distance determining unit (116) generates an enable signal and transmits it to the state mode unit (117), and the state mode unit (117) is enabled (S4). When the average of the received signal strengths is less than or equal to the reference value as a result of the judgment in step S3, step S2 is repeated.

[0073] The state mode unit (117) enables the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118), and accordingly, when the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) are enabled (enable successful), the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) are turned on (S5). Alternatively, the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) may not be enabled (enable failed).

[0074] If the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) are not enabled, the state mode unit (117) repeats the enable operation for the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) a predetermined number of times (n1) (S6).

[0075] Even if the state mode unit (117) repeats the enable a predetermined number of times, if the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) are not enabled and turned on (final enable failure), the attempt to repeat the enable is stopped, and the medical device (10_1) outside is notified that the data gateway (113) and the module processor (118) are not turned on so that a doctor can physically contact the service user (S7).

[0076] The data gateway (113) is turned on and determines whether the data received from the vehicle (30) has essential credentials (S8).

[0077] If, as a result of the judgment in step S8, there is no essential credential authentication in the data received from the vehicle (30), the data gateway (113) requests the vehicle (30) to collect data required for credential authentication through the first communication unit (112) (S9).

[0078] If, as a result of the judgment in step S8, there is a qualification authentication required for the data received from the vehicle (30) and the data required for qualification authentication is collected from the vehicle (30) in response to the request in step S9, the next step S12 is performed.

[0079] At this time, if no response is received to the request in step S9, the data gateway (113) repeats data collection a predetermined number of times (n2) (S10). If data is collected in response to the data collection request within the predetermined number of times, the next step S12 proceeds; otherwise, the repeated attempts to collect data are stopped, and the medical device (10_1) outside is notified that the essential authentication required for a doctor to physically contact the service user has not been completed (S11).

[0080] The analysis / formatting unit (115) receives data from the data gateway (113), analyzes the received data, and selects a corresponding data format from the protocol and format table (S12).

[0081] The data processing unit (114) receives data from the data gateway (113) and reconstructs the received data into a data format selected by the analysis / format unit (115) (S13).

[0082] The data processing unit (114) can transmit the reconstructed data to another medical device (10_2) through the second communication unit (119) (S14).

[0083] FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a method for determining a data format according to one embodiment.

[0084] First, the medical device (10_1) receives data from the vehicle (30), and the analysis / formatting unit (115) receives and analyzes the data (S21).

[0085] The analysis / formatting unit (115) determines a data format suitable for the analyzed data based on the protocol and format table (S22). If there is a suitable data format (data format ○), the analysis / formatting unit (115) transmits the determined data format to the data processing unit (114).

[0086] If there is no suitable data format (data format X), the analysis / format unit (115) reconstructs the protocol and format table according to the new protocol and format received from the central management unit (20) and transmits the new data format to the data processing unit (114) (S23). At this time, the index numbers of the protocol and format table may be rearranged.

[0087] The data processing unit (114) can reconstruct the data according to the data format and transmit it to the module processor (118) and the database (DB) (121) (S24).

[0088] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a drive-through medical treatment system applied according to one embodiment.

[0089] First, the vehicle (30) enters the drive-through medical service area (S31).

[0090] The drive-through medical system (1) installs a virtual fence, a 'geofence,' within a predetermined range relative to the hospital and can detect whether the vehicle (30) enters the geofence through location tracking technology based on GPS mounted on the vehicle (30) (S32). Here, the hospital refers to a hospital where a drive-through medical center is installed. When the vehicle (30) enters the geofence, the drive-through medical system (1) can notify the hospital's management server and multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) equipped in multiple medical shelters. The multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) can start searching to see if the vehicle (30) is detected using a distance determining unit (116).

[0091] The vehicle (30) may move and be initially detected by at least one of the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n). The medical device that detects the vehicle (30) guides the vehicle (30) to move to the first medical shelter in a predetermined medical order (S33). Additionally, if the vehicle (30) is able to communicate with all of the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n), the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) can detect that the vehicle (30) has entered the service area. Furthermore, the medical device that detects the vehicle (30) can notify the other medical devices via WiFi communication. Communication between the vehicle (30) and the multiple medical devices (10_1 to 10_n) may be conducted via BLE communication.
