[0090] Hereinafter, a method of operating an electronic device (300) according to various embodiments will be described in detail. According to various embodiments, operations performed by the electronic device (300) described below may be executed by a processor (e.g., processor 240 of FIG. 2) including at least one processing circuitry of the electronic device (300). According to one embodiment, operations performed by the electronic device (300) may be stored in a memory (e.g., first memory (230) and / or second memory (250) of FIG. 2) and, when executed, may be executed by instructions that cause the processor (240) to operate. In the following embodiments, each operation may be performed sequentially, but is not necessarily performed sequentially. For example, the order of each operation may be changed, and at least two operations may be performed in parallel. Depending on the implementation, certain operations may be omitted.

[0091] Referring to FIGS. 3A and 3B , according to one embodiment, in operation 301, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240))) may store acquired (or received) medication information (e.g., the medication information of FIG. 2) in a memory (e.g., the second memory (250) of FIG. 2 ). The medication information may include information about medications taken or scheduled to be taken by the protected person. In one embodiment, the medication information may include at least one of identification information of the protected person (e.g., the name of the protected person), identification information of the medication (e.g., the product name of the medication), the type of the medication (e.g., acetaminophen or ibuprofen), or information about the timing of medication.

[0092] In one embodiment, medication information may be input via a touchscreen (310, for example, the touchscreen (210) of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may obtain medication information based on input (e.g., touch input) obtained via the touchscreen (310). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may store the obtained medication information in memory.

[0093] In one embodiment, medication information may be obtained based on a QR (quick response) code. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may include a camera (e.g., the camera module (180) of FIG. 1), and the electronic device (300) may verify the QR code through the camera. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may access an external server (e.g., the server (108) of FIG. 1) that stores information about the medication through the QR code.

[0094] In one embodiment, when an input (e.g., user input regarding the time of taking medication) is received via a touchscreen, the electronic device (300) may confirm medication information based on information about the medication acquired via a QR code and / or input via the touchscreen. For example, the electronic device (300) may confirm that the user has taken the medication (e.g., ibuprofen syrup) acquired via the QR code at the time of taking medication entered by the user. The electronic device (300) may confirm this as medication information. In one embodiment, the information regarding the time of taking medication may be automatically set to the time at which the user inputs information related to taking medication, as described above, or the time of taking medication may be set by the user directly inputting the time of taking medication.

[0095] In one embodiment, at operation 303, the electronic device (300) can verify sensing data received from an external device (350, 360, or 370) (e.g., the electronic device (102), the electronic device (104), or the server (108) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) can receive sensing data from the external device (350, 360, or 370) through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (220) of FIG. 2).

[0096] In one embodiment, the sensing data may include at least one of data corresponding to body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation, respectively. In one embodiment, the sensing data may be bit or byte type data obtained from a sensor module included in a wearable device (360 or 370) (e.g., a smart watch or a smart ring), or data obtained by converting the obtained data into a specific format.

[0097] In one embodiment, the sensing data may include first data related to the protected person and second data related to the protected person. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may receive the first data related to the protected person via the communication module (220). In one embodiment, the first data may be sensing data obtained immediately after the protected person takes the medication or the first sensing data obtained after taking the medication. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the first data may also be sensing data obtained immediately before the protected person takes the medication.

[0098] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may receive second data related to the ward through the communication module (220) after the first data is received. In one embodiment, the second data may be sensing data of the ward at a point in time when a specified period of time has elapsed since the ward took the medication. Alternatively, in one embodiment, the second data may be data related to the ward received after the first data is received. In one embodiment, the wearable device (360, or 370) may obtain sensing data related to at least one of body temperature, heart rate, or oxygen saturation through the sensor module. In one embodiment, the wearable device (360, or 370) may include at least one type of sensor module. In one embodiment, the sensor module included in the wearable device (360, or 370) may have at least a portion of a configuration identical or similar to the sensor module (176) of FIG. 1. For example, a sensor module included in a wearable device (360, or 370) may include, but is not limited to, at least one of a temperature sensor (e.g., a contact temperature sensor or a non-contact temperature sensor), a heart rate measurement sensor (e.g., a photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensor), or an oxygen saturation measurement sensor.

[0099] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) can check sensing data received from a wearable device (360, or 370) corresponding to a protected person (e.g., protected person 1 or protected person 2). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) can communicate with the wearable device (360, or 370) through the first network (198) of FIG. 1 (e.g., a short-range wireless communication network), or can communicate with the wearable device (360, or 370) through the second network (199) of FIG. 1 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network).

[0100] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may verify sensing data received from the server (350). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may receive sensing data transmitted from a wearable device (360 or 370) corresponding to a protected person (e.g., protected person 1 or protected person 2) to the server (350) from the server (350). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may communicate with the server (350) via the second network (199) of FIG. 1 (e.g., a long-range wireless communication network).

[0101] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may store the received sensing data in a memory (e.g., the second memory (250) of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may store the identified first data in the second memory. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may store the identified second data in the second memory.

[0102] According to one embodiment, in operation 305, the electronic device (300) can determine the amount of change in biometric information based on the received sensing data. In one embodiment, the biometric information may be data obtained by processing the sensing data. In one embodiment, the biometric information may include at least one of body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation. In one embodiment, the amount of change in biometric information may be a amount of change measured based on the biometric information corresponding to the time of medication. In one embodiment, the amount of change in biometric information may include increase / decrease information or trend information corresponding to each of body temperature, heart rate, and oxygen saturation.

[0103] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in one embodiment, the change in biometric information may be a change measured based on a basal temperature corresponding to a user wearing a wearable device. In one embodiment, the basal temperature may be a personalized body temperature of the user wearing the wearable device. In one embodiment, the basal temperature may be a value calculated based on sensing data corresponding to the user wearing the wearable device. For example, the basal temperature may be, but is not limited to, an average value of sensing data corresponding to the user over a specific period (e.g., one week).

[0104] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may identify data corresponding to body temperature among the received sensing data and determine the amount of change in body temperature based on the identified data. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may identify data corresponding to heart rate or oxygen saturation, respectively, among the received sensing data and determine the amount of change in heart rate or oxygen saturation, respectively, based on the identified data.

[0105] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) can determine the amount of change in biometric information based on the confirmed first data and the confirmed second data. In one embodiment, the biometric information corresponding to the time of medication may be biometric information corresponding to the first data. In one embodiment, the second data may be data sensed after the first data. In one embodiment, the processor (240) can compare the first data and the second data to determine the amount of change in biometric information corresponding to the protected person. In one embodiment, the amount of change in biometric information may be a value calculated based on the biometric information corresponding to the first data. However, the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0106] For example, the electronic device (300) can compare data corresponding to the body temperature of the protected person among the confirmed first data with data corresponding to the body temperature of the protected person among the confirmed second data to determine the amount of change in the body temperature corresponding to the protected person.

[0107] According to one embodiment, in operation 307, the electronic device (300) may provide a notification (or a notification related to medication) based on the amount of change in medication information and biometric information. In one embodiment, the notification related to medication may include information for notifying when the body temperature of the protected person is or is expected to be outside the normal range. In one embodiment, the notification related to medication may also include information for notifying that the scheduled time for taking medication has arrived or is about to arrive. In one embodiment, the notification related to medication may include, but is not limited to, providing (or displaying) a medication guide through the touchscreen (310), providing an audio alarm, or providing a vibration alarm.

[0108] In one embodiment, different types of medication guides (or guide information) may be provided via the touchscreen (310) based on whether certain conditions are met. For example, if the amount of change in body temperature is determined to be greater than a target value based on the amount of change in verified biometric information, guide information suggesting the use of an antipyretic may be provided via the touchscreen (310). Various embodiments providing medication-related notifications will be described below.

[0109] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing notification related to medication according to one embodiment.

[0110] Referring to FIG. 4, according to one embodiment, in operation 401, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., processor (240))) can determine whether a change in biometric information (e.g., biometric information of FIG. 3A) is greater than or equal to a first target value.

[0111] In one embodiment, the electronic device can determine the amount of change in biometric information (e.g., amount of change in body temperature) based on biometric information corresponding to a reference point in time. In one embodiment, the reference point in time may be a time corresponding to comparison data (or reference data) for measuring the amount of change. For example, the electronic device can determine the biometric information corresponding to the time of medication based on information about the time of medication input through a touchscreen (e.g., touchscreen (210) of FIG. 2). The electronic device can determine the biometric information corresponding to the reference point in time based on the determined biometric information corresponding to the time of medication. The electronic device can determine the amount of change in biometric information by comparing biometric information determined after the time of medication with biometric information corresponding to the reference point in time. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and for example, a memory (e.g., first memory (230) of FIG. 2 or second memory (250) of FIG. 2) may store a reference value for determining the amount of change in biometric information. The electronic device can also determine the amount of change in biometric information by comparing the determined biometric information with the reference value stored in the memory. For example, it goes without saying that the reference value for checking the amount of change in biometric information can be obtained through input (e.g., user input).

[0112] In one embodiment, when a change in biometric information is confirmed, the electronic device can compare the confirmed change with a first target value to determine whether the change in biometric information is greater than or equal to the first target value.

[0113] According to one embodiment, in operation 403, if the amount of change in the biometric information is confirmed to be greater than or equal to the first target value (operation 401-Yes), the electronic device may display guide information suggesting a visit to the emergency room through the touch screen.

[0114] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting a visit to the emergency room based on the duration of time for which the change in biometric information exceeds a first target value. For example, if it is determined that the change in biometric information exceeds the first target value for 5 minutes or more, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting a visit to the emergency room via a touchscreen. In one embodiment, the electronic device may display the guide information and communicate with an external device corresponding to the emergency room (e.g., the electronic device (102), the electronic device (104), or the server (108) of FIG. 1 ). This will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8 .

[0115] According to one embodiment, in operation 405, if the amount of change in the biometric information is determined to be less than the first target value (operation 401-No), the electronic device may determine whether the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to the second target value. In one embodiment, the size of the first target value may be set to a value greater than the second target value. In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine the amount of change in the biometric information based on the biometric information corresponding to the time of taking the medication, and based on this, determine whether the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to the second target value.

[0116] In one embodiment, in operation 407, if it is confirmed that the amount of change in the biometric information is less than the first target value and greater than or equal to the second target value (operation 405 - Yes), the electronic device may display guide information suggesting continuous observation via the touchscreen. In one embodiment, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting continuous observation of the protected person based on the duration of time during which the amount of change in the biometric information is less than the first target value and greater than or equal to the second target value.

[0117] In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is determined to be less than the second target value (action 405-No), the electronic device may determine whether a first period of time has elapsed since the medication was administered. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0118] According to the above example, the electronic device can provide different types of guidance information depending on the magnitude of the change in biometric information. For example, if the change in body temperature exceeds a first target value (e.g., a body temperature of 3°C), the device can determine that the person in need is in critical condition and guide the person to visit the emergency room immediately. Alternatively, if the change in body temperature is below the first target value or above a second target value (e.g., a body temperature of 2.5°C), the device can guide the person in need to carefully check the person's condition.

[0119] FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing notification related to medication according to one embodiment.

[0120] Referring to FIG. 5, according to one embodiment, in operation 501, an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., processor (240))) may determine whether a change in biometric information (e.g., biometric information of FIG. 3A) is greater than or equal to a first target value (e.g., first target value of FIG. 4). In one embodiment, when a change in biometric information (e.g., body temperature) is determined, the electronic device may compare the determined change with the first target value to determine whether the change in biometric information is greater than or equal to the first target value, as described in FIG. 4.

[0121] According to one embodiment, in operation 503, if the amount of change in the biometric information is determined to be greater than or equal to the first target value (operation 501-Yes), the electronic device may output a first alarm corresponding to a first type (e.g., a first size, a first pattern, a first sound, or a first cycle). In one embodiment, the electronic device may include a speaker (e.g., an audio output module (155) of FIG. 1), and the electronic device may output an audio type alarm corresponding to the first cycle through the speaker. For example, the electronic device may output the first alarm corresponding to the first cycle at every set first cycle. In one embodiment, the electronic device may also output a vibration type first alarm corresponding to the first cycle through a haptic module (e.g., a haptic module (179) of FIG. 1).

[0122] In one embodiment, the electronic device may output an alarm corresponding to the first cycle based on the duration of time for which the change in biometric information exceeds a first target value. For example, if it is determined that the change in biometric information exceeds the first target value for 5 minutes or more, the electronic device may output an alarm corresponding to the first cycle. However, this is not limited thereto, and the duration for which the change exceeds the first target value may vary.

[0123] In one embodiment, in operation 505, if it is determined that the amount of change in the biometric information is less than the first target value (operation 501-No), as illustrated in FIG. 4 (e.g., operation 405), the electronic device may determine whether the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to a second target value (e.g., the second target value of FIG. 4). In one embodiment, the size of the first target value may be set to a value greater than the second target value.

[0124] According to one embodiment, in operation 507, if it is determined that the amount of change in the biometric information is less than the first target value and greater than or equal to the second target value (operation 505 - Yes), the electronic device may output a second alarm corresponding to a second type (e.g., a second size, a second pattern, a second sound, or a second cycle). In one embodiment, the interval of the first cycle may be set to be smaller than the interval of the second cycle. In one embodiment, the electronic device may output an alarm of a sound type corresponding to the second cycle through a speaker. For example, the electronic device may output a second alarm corresponding to the second cycle at every set second cycle. In one embodiment, the electronic device may also output an alarm of a vibration type corresponding to the second cycle through a haptic module.

[0125] In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is determined to be less than the second target value (action 505-No), the electronic device may determine whether a first period of time has elapsed since the medication was administered. This will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 6.

[0126] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may provide the guide information illustrated in FIG. 4 along with an alarm. In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is determined to be greater than or equal to a first target value, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting an emergency room visit via a touchscreen and output an alarm corresponding to the first cycle via a speaker. In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is determined to be less than the first target value and greater than or equal to a second target value, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting continuous observation of the protected person via a touchscreen and output an alarm corresponding to the second cycle via a speaker.

[0127] According to the above example, the electronic device can provide alarms with different cycles depending on the magnitude of the change in biometric information. For example, if the change in body temperature is greater than or equal to a first target value (e.g., body temperature of 3°C), the electronic device can determine that the protected person's condition is critical and output an alarm with a first cycle to notify the user of the critical situation. Alternatively, if the change in body temperature is less than the first target value or greater than or equal to a second target value (e.g., body temperature of 2.5°C), an alarm with a second cycle that is greater than the first cycle can be output.

[0128] FIG. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing notification related to medication according to one embodiment.

[0129] Referring to FIG. 6, in operation 601, as illustrated in FIG. 4 (e.g., operation 405), an electronic device (e.g., electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., processor (240))) according to one embodiment can determine whether a change in biometric information (e.g., biometric information of FIG. 3A) is less than a second target value (e.g., the second target value of FIG. 4).

[0130] In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is confirmed to be less than the second target value (operation 601 - Yes), in operation 603, the electronic device may determine whether a first period of time has elapsed from the time of taking the medication. In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether a first period of time (e.g., 2 hours) has elapsed from the time of taking the medication based on information about the time of taking the medication included in the input medication information (e.g., the medication information of FIG. 2).

[0131] According to one embodiment, if the amount of change in the biometric information is determined to be greater than or equal to a second target value (operation 601-No), the electronic device may determine whether the amount of change in the biometric information (e.g., the biometric information of FIG. 3A) is greater than or equal to a first target value (e.g., the first target value of FIG. 4). In one embodiment, if the amount of change in the biometric information is determined to be greater than or equal to the second target value (operation 601-No), the electronic device may also display guide information suggesting continuous observation, as illustrated in FIG. 4 (e.g., operation 407).

[0132] According to one embodiment, when it is determined that a first time has passed since the time of taking the medication (operation 603 - Yes), in operation 605, the electronic device may display guide information indicating that medication is required through a touchscreen (e.g., touchscreen (220) of FIG. 2) and output an alarm of an acoustic type through a speaker (e.g., an audio output module (155) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the electronic device may also output an alarm of a vibration type through a haptic module (e.g., a haptic module (179) of FIG. 1).

[0133] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to a target value (e.g., a first target value or a second target value) if it is determined that the first time has not elapsed since the time of taking the medication (action 603-No).

[0134] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display, via a touchscreen, at least one of biometric information and / or guidance information corresponding to cross-dosing, along with guidance information indicating the need for medication. For example, the electronic device may display the change in body temperature over time corresponding to the subject of protection, along with guidance information indicating the need for medication. For example, the electronic device may display, via a touchscreen, guidance information corresponding to cross-dosing, along with guidance information indicating the need for medication. The guidance information corresponding to cross-dosing is described in detail in FIG. 14.

[0135] Although not illustrated in FIG. 6, an electronic device according to one embodiment may provide a notification related to medication even if it is determined that the amount of change in biometric information is less than the second target value or that the first time has not elapsed from the time of medication.

[0136] In one embodiment, if the change in biometric information is less than the second target value and the first hour has not elapsed since the time of medication administration, the electronic device may determine whether a second hour has elapsed since the time of medication administration. In one embodiment, the second hour (e.g., 1 hour) may be less than the first hour (e.g., 2 hours). For example, if the change in body temperature is less than 2.5 °C and less than 2 hours have elapsed since the time of medication administration, the electronic device may determine whether 1 hour has elapsed since the time of medication administration.

[0137] In one embodiment, when it is determined that a second period of time has elapsed, the electronic device can determine whether the change in biometric information is greater than or equal to a specified first value. In one embodiment, the specified first value may be a value obtained by multiplying a third target value by a specified percentage (e.g., 50%). The third target value is a value set by the user as the target change amount (e.g., target temperature increase or decrease). For example, assume that the third target value is -1.5 °C. The electronic device can determine whether the change in body temperature is greater than or equal to the specified first value of -0.75 °C. The third target value will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10.

[0138] In one embodiment, if the electronic device determines that the amount of change in biometric information is greater than or equal to a specified first value, the electronic device may display guide information suggesting continuous observation of the protected person through a touch screen, as in operation 407 of FIG. 4.

[0139] According to the above example, the electronic device may notify the user of the need for medication if a certain amount of time has passed since the person receiving the medication, even if the person's body temperature is not at a dangerous level. Furthermore, the electronic device may suggest continued monitoring of the person receiving the medication if it determines that the person's body temperature has not fallen below an appropriate level, even if the time has not yet passed since the person receiving the medication.

[0140] FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a method for communicating with an external device according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating observation information corresponding to a protected person according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0141] Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240))) according to one embodiment may, in operation 701, determine whether a change in biometric information (e.g., the biometric information of FIG. 3A) is greater than or equal to a first target value (e.g., the first target value of FIG. 4), as in operation 401 of FIG. 4.

[0142] According to one embodiment, when the amount of change in biometric information is confirmed to be greater than or equal to the first target value (operation 701 - Yes), in operation 703, the electronic device can establish a communication connection with an external device (e.g., a server (108) of FIG. 1) corresponding to an emergency room through a communication module (e.g., a communication module (220) of FIG. 2).

[0143] According to one embodiment, when the amount of change in biometric information is confirmed to be less than the first target value (operation 701-No), the electronic device can confirm whether the amount of change in biometric information is greater than or equal to the second target value, as illustrated in FIG. 4.

[0144] In one embodiment, an electronic device may transmit biometric information and medication-related history information (hereinafter, “history information”) to an external device (e.g., a server) corresponding to an emergency room through a communication module in operation 705. In one embodiment, the biometric information transmitted to the server corresponding to the emergency room may be information corrected based on the current body temperature of the protected person. In one embodiment, the corrected information may be estimated biometric information corrected based on sensing data and the current biometric information of the protected person, which will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 9. In one embodiment, the history information may include information on at least one medication event corresponding to the protected person. In one embodiment, the information on the medication event may include at least one of information on a medication type, a type of medication, a medication time point, a medication start time, and a medication duration, but is not limited thereto. The history information will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 16.

[0145] Referring to FIG. 8, an electronic device according to one embodiment can identify observation information (800) corresponding to a protected person based on biometric information and history information (e.g., history information of FIG. 7), and transmit the identified observation information (800) to an external device through a communication module.

[0146] Observation information (800) according to one embodiment may include at least one of identification information (801) of the ward, first information (802), and second information (803). In one embodiment, identification information (801) of the ward may include information about the ward's name, age, primary care physician, and hospital in charge of the ward. In one embodiment, first information (802) may include biometric information corresponding to the ward (e.g., body temperature, heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (Spo2)). In one embodiment, first information (802) may include biometric information in a graph type. In one embodiment, second information (803) may include biometric information of a specific type (e.g., body temperature, heart rate (HR), and oxygen saturation (Spo2)). In one embodiment, second information (803) may include biometric information measured at a specific time interval (e.g., every 30 minutes). In one embodiment, the second information (803) may also include historical information corresponding to the protected individual. For example, the second information (803) may include information (e.g., medication timing, medication type, medication identification information, and medication dosage) regarding medication events (e.g., notes) corresponding to the protected individual. For example, medication events corresponding to the protected individual may be provided to the user based on a specific time period. Meanwhile, a method for acquiring the protected individual's identification information (801) will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 13A and 13B .

[0147] In one embodiment, the electronic device may attempt to establish a call connection with a server corresponding to the emergency room via the communication module.

[0148] FIG. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a method for displaying guide information based on estimated body temperature according to one embodiment.

[0149] Referring to FIG. 9, an electronic device according to one embodiment (e.g., an electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., a processor (240))) can, in operation 901, determine an estimated body temperature based on body temperature (or current body temperature) and biometric information (e.g., biometric information of FIG. 3A) input through a touchscreen (e.g., a touchscreen (210) of FIG. 2). The current body temperature is the body temperature of the ward measured by a thermometer at the time of medication, and in one embodiment, the electronic device can obtain the current body temperature based on a user input. A specific method of obtaining the current body temperature will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 10.

[0150] In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain a correction value by comparing the current body temperature measured by a thermometer at the time of taking the medication with the body temperature corresponding to the sensing data received from a wearable device (e.g., the wearable device (360 or 370) of FIG. 3B) at the time of taking the medication. For example, the electronic device may identify the body temperature (e.g., 37.5°C) corresponding to the time of taking the medication among the biometric information confirmed based on the sensing data received from the wearable device, and compare the body temperature corresponding to the time of taking the medication with the current body temperature (38°C) input by the user to obtain a correction value (e.g., 0.5°C).

[0151] In one embodiment, the electronic device can determine an estimated body temperature based on the acquired correction value and biometric information. For example, once the correction value is acquired, the electronic device can determine the estimated body temperature by adding the acquired correction value to the biometric information. For example, if the correction value is 0.5°C, the estimated body temperature may be 0.5°C higher than the existing biometric information.

[0152] However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and an electronic device according to an embodiment may determine an estimated heart rate based on the current heart rate and biometric information (e.g., heart rate). An electronic device according to an embodiment may determine an estimated oxygen saturation based on the current oxygen saturation and biometric information (e.g., oxygen saturation). The current heart rate is the heart rate of the ward measured by the guardian, and the current oxygen saturation is also the oxygen saturation of the ward measured by the guardian.

[0153] In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether the estimated body temperature is greater than or equal to the target temperature in operation 903. In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether the estimated body temperature is greater than or equal to the target temperature by comparing the magnitude of the determined estimated body temperature with the target temperature (e.g., 39.5°C or 39°C). However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and in one embodiment, the electronic device may also determine whether the amount of change in the estimated body temperature is greater than or equal to a specified target value (e.g., a first target value (e.g., the first target value of FIG. 4) or a second target value (e.g., the second target value of FIG. 4)).

[0154] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may display set guide information through a touch screen (e.g., touch screen (210) of FIG. 2) if, in operation 905, it is determined that the estimated body temperature is higher than or equal to the target temperature (operation 903-Yes).

[0155] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display guidance information suggesting a visit to the emergency room via the touchscreen when the estimated body temperature (e.g., 39.6°C) is determined to be higher than the first target temperature (e.g., 39.5°C). In another embodiment, the electronic device may also display guidance information suggesting a visit to the emergency room when the current temperature continues to be higher than the first target temperature for a specified period of time (e.g., 5 minutes).

[0156] In one embodiment, the electronic device may display guidance information suggesting continuous observation of the protected person via the touchscreen if the estimated body temperature (e.g., 39.2°C) is determined to be below the first target temperature (e.g., 39.5°C) and above the second target temperature (e.g., 39°C). In one embodiment, the electronic device may also display guidance information suggesting continuous observation of the protected person if the current temperature remains above the second target temperature for a specified period of time (e.g., 5 minutes).

[0157] According to one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether a first hour has elapsed from the time of taking the medication, as illustrated in FIG. 6, if it is determined that the estimated body temperature is less than the target temperature (operation 903-No).

[0158] FIG. 10 is a drawing for explaining a method of obtaining information through a touch screen according to one embodiment.

[0159] Referring to FIG. 10, an electronic device (300, for example, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240)) according to one embodiment can display an execution screen including at least one of objects (1011, 1012, 1013, 1014, 1015, 1016, 1017, 1018, and 1019) through a touch screen (310, for example, the touch screen (210) of FIG. 2).

[0160] In one embodiment, the execution screen may display an execution screen (e.g., the left screen of FIG. 10) for obtaining medication information corresponding to the ward (e.g., medication information of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, the medication information may include information about medications that the ward has taken or plans to take. In one embodiment, the execution screen may include an object (1011) corresponding to identification information of the medication. In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain the identification information of the medication based on an input (e.g., a touch input or a voice input) corresponding to the object (1011). In one embodiment, the execution screen may include an object (1012) corresponding to a type of medication (e.g., acetaminophen or ibuprofen). In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain information about the type of medication based on an input (e.g., a touch input) corresponding to the object (1012). In one embodiment, the execution screen may include an object (1013) corresponding to the medication time, and the electronic device may obtain information about the medication time based on an input (e.g., touch input or voice input) corresponding to the object (1013). In one embodiment, the electronic device may automatically display information about the current time measured by the electronic device on the object (1013) corresponding to the medication time. When the user completes inputting the medication information through the execution screen for obtaining the medication information (e.g., the medication information of FIG. 2), the medication time may be set to the displayed time. In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain medication information including at least one of identification information of the ward (e.g., name of the ward), identification information of the drug (e.g., product name of the drug), and information about the medication time based on the input corresponding to the execution screen.

[0161] An electronic device according to one embodiment may display an execution screen (right screen of FIG. 10) for obtaining body temperature setting information corresponding to a protected person. In one embodiment, when a touch input is confirmed for an object (1014) for displaying an execution screen corresponding to body temperature setting information on the left screen of FIG. 10, the electronic device may display an execution screen for obtaining body temperature setting information as in the right screen of FIG. 10. In one embodiment, the body temperature setting information may include at least one of a third target value (e.g., the third target value of FIG. 6), a target time point, a sensing cycle, and information on the current body temperature. The sensing cycle will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 11.

[0162] In one embodiment, the execution screen may include at least one of an object (1015) corresponding to a third target value (e.g., target temperature increase / decrease), an object (1016) corresponding to a target time (e.g., target time), an object (1017) corresponding to a sensing cycle (e.g., temperature change detection interval), an object (1018) corresponding to a current body temperature, and an object (1019) corresponding to the start of measurement. The third target value refers to a temperature change amount desired by the guardian. The target time refers to a monitoring end time for the protected person's biometric information (e.g., biometric information in FIG. 3A).

[0163] In one embodiment, the electronic device may obtain body temperature setting information including at least one of a third target value, a target time point, a sensing period, and information about a current body temperature based on inputs corresponding to each of the objects (1015, 1016, 1017, and 1018).

[0164] In one embodiment, when an input (e.g., touch input) for an object (1019) corresponding to the start of measurement is confirmed, the electronic device may store the medication information and body temperature setting information input through the execution screen in a memory (e.g., the first memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, when an input for an object (1019) corresponding to the start of measurement is confirmed, the electronic device may transmit at least one of information on the third target value, the target time point, and the sensing cycle to an external device (e.g., an external device (e.g., a wearable device or a server) of FIG. 3A) through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (220) of FIG. 2).

[0165] According to one embodiment, the external device may transmit sensing data based on a sensing cycle acquired from the electronic device. In one embodiment, when information about the sensing cycle (e.g., 2 minutes) is input through the execution screen, the electronic device may transmit the input information about the sensing cycle to the external device through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (220) of FIG. 2). A specific embodiment in which the electronic device confirms the sensing data based on the information about the sensing cycle will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 11 below.

[0166] FIG. 11 is a diagram for explaining a method of confirming sensing data based on a sensing cycle according to one embodiment.

[0167] Referring to FIG. 11, an electronic device (e.g., an electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., a processor (240))) according to an embodiment may receive sensing data (e.g., sensing data of FIG. 3A) from an external device (e.g., an external device (e.g., a wearable device or a server) of FIG. 3A) through a communication module (e.g., a communication module (220) of FIG. 2) at a time corresponding to a sensing cycle (e.g., a sensing cycle of FIG. 10).

[0168] In one embodiment, as described in FIG. 10, the electronic device may transmit information about a sensing cycle input through an execution screen to an external device via a communication module. In one embodiment, the sensing cycle may be a cycle at which the electronic device receives sensing data, and the sensing cycle may be different from a cycle (or measurement cycle) at which the external device measures data. For example, the external device may measure data at one-minute intervals, and the external device may transmit sensing data to the electronic device at two-minute intervals based on the sensing cycle received from the electronic device.

[0169] In one embodiment, sensing data transmitted at points in time corresponding to a sensing cycle may be transmitted as a data bundle. For example, assume that an external device acquires sensing data at 1-minute intervals and the sensing data is transmitted to an electronic device at 2-minute intervals. The external device may acquire first sensing data (t1) (1110) corresponding to a first point in time (1101) and second sensing data (t2) (1120) corresponding to a second point in time (1102). The external device may transmit the first sensing data (t1) (1110) and the second sensing data (t2) (1120) to the electronic device at the second point in time (1102). Similarly, the external device may transmit the third sensing data (t3) and the fourth sensing data (t4) together to the electronic device, and may transmit the fifth sensing data (t5) and the sixth sensing data (t6) together to the electronic device. However, this is not limited to this, and it goes without saying that the cycle at which the external device acquires sensing data and the sensing cycle may have different values.

[0170] In one embodiment, the sensing data transmitted at a point in time corresponding to the sensing cycle may be an average value of the sensing data corresponding to the sensing cycle. For example, the external device may calculate an average value of the first sensing data (t1) (1110) and the second sensing data (t2) (1120). The external device may transmit the average value of the first sensing data (t1) (1110) and the second sensing data (t2) (1120) to the electronic device at a second point in time (1102).

[0171] FIG. 12 is a flowchart illustrating a method for verifying sensing data based on a sensing cycle according to one embodiment.

[0172] Referring to FIG. 12, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240))) according to one embodiment may transmit information about a changed sensing cycle (e.g., the sensing cycle of FIG. 10) based on a change in biometric information (e.g., the biometric information of FIG. 3A) to an external device (e.g., the external device (e.g., a wearable device or a server) of FIG. 3A) through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (220) of FIG. 2). Since a high body temperature of a protected person is a dangerous situation, the electronic device may set the sensing cycle to be shorter, thereby obtaining sensing data (e.g., the sensing data of FIG. 3A) more frequently than when the body temperature of the protected person is low.

[0173] In one embodiment, an electronic device may determine whether a change in biometric information is greater than or equal to a target value in operation 1201. In one embodiment, the target value may be, but is not limited to, one of a first target value (e.g., the first target value of FIG. 4) or a second target value (e.g., the second target value of FIG. 4). In one embodiment, the electronic device may determine whether a change in biometric information is greater than or equal to the first target value, as in operation 401 of FIG. 4. In one embodiment, the electronic device may also determine whether a change in biometric information is greater than or equal to the second target value, as in operation 405 of FIG. 4.

[0174] In one embodiment, information on target values ​​(e.g., reference temperature) according to age may be stored in a memory (e.g., the first memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2) as shown in Table 1. In one embodiment, the electronic device may verify the age of the person under protection and verify the reference temperature corresponding to the age based on Table 1. The electronic device may verify whether the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to the reference temperature.

[0175] Age-based temperature: Under 3 years old 38 degrees, 3 years old and older 37.8 degrees

[0176] According to one embodiment, if the amount of change in the biometric information is greater than or equal to the target value (operation 1201 - Yes), the electronic device may transmit information about a first sensing period (e.g., 1 minute) to an external device through the communication module in operation 1203. According to one embodiment, if the amount of change in the biometric information is less than the target value (operation 1201 - No), the electronic device may transmit information about a second sensing period (e.g., 2 minutes) to an external device through the communication module in operation 1205. In one embodiment, the size of the first sensing period may be less than the size of the second sensing period.

[0177] According to the above example, the electronic device can acquire sensing data at a specific sensing cycle. Furthermore, the electronic device can acquire sensing data at a user-set sensing cycle during normal times, and acquire sensing data at a shorter sensing cycle in emergency situations (e.g., when there is a significant change in biometric information), thereby enabling efficient battery use.

[0178] Figures 13a and 13b are diagrams illustrating a method for verifying the identification information of a protected person according to one embodiment. Figure 13c is a diagram illustrating a method for providing set guide information according to one embodiment.

[0179] Referring to FIGS. 13A and 13B , an electronic device (300, for example, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240))) according to one embodiment may display an execution screen for confirming identification information of a ward (e.g., identification information of a ward of FIG. 3A) on a touch screen (310, for example, the touch screen (210) of FIG. 2)). In one embodiment, the identification information of the ward may include at least one of the name of the ward, the gender of the ward, the date of birth of the ward, and information about the weight of the ward.

[0180] In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 13A, the electronic device (300) may display an execution screen for registering a ward through the touch screen (310). In one embodiment, the execution screen for registering a ward may include at least one object for obtaining information about the ward's name, the ward's gender, the ward's date of birth, and the ward's weight. In one embodiment, when an input (e.g., a touch input) corresponding to the object (1310) for registering a ward is confirmed, the electronic device (300) may register the ward (e.g., store in the first memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2).

[0181] In one embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 13B, the electronic device (300) may display an execution screen for selecting a ward through the touch screen (310). In one embodiment, the memory of the electronic device (e.g., the first memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2) may store identification information of each of the plurality of wards. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the identification information of the plurality of wards may also be stored in an external server (e.g., the server (108) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may display an execution screen for selecting any one of the plurality of wards through the touch screen (310). In one embodiment, when an input (e.g., a touch input) corresponding to an object (1320) for selecting any one of the wards is confirmed, the electronic device (300) may display an execution screen for inputting (or modifying) the weight of the selected ward through the touch screen (310).

[0182] FIG. 13c is a diagram for explaining a method for checking medication information (e.g., medication information of FIG. 2) according to one embodiment.

[0183] Referring to FIG. 13C, an electronic device (300, for example, the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2) according to one embodiment may display an execution screen including at least one of objects (1011, 1012, 1013, and 1014) through a touch screen (310, for example, the touch screen (210) of FIG. 2) as illustrated in FIG. 10. In one embodiment, an object (1012) corresponding to a type of medicine may include an object (1330) for selecting one of the medicines corresponding to a specific type.

[0184] In one embodiment, when a touch input is obtained for an object (1330) corresponding to a specific type (e.g., acetaminophen), the electronic device (300) may display an object (1340) for selecting one of a plurality of drugs (e.g., antipyretics A500, antipyretics A600, antipyretics A700, and antipyretics A800) corresponding to the specific type (e.g., acetaminophen) through the touch screen (310).

[0185] In one embodiment, an object (1340) for selecting one of a plurality of drugs may include objects (1350 and 1360). In one embodiment, the object (1340) may include an object (1350) for selecting a sorting order of the drugs. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may obtain an input (e.g., a touch input or a drag input) for selecting either a type in which drugs are sorted according to the order of drug effect duration or a type in which drugs are sorted according to the order of time when the drug effect starts, through the object (1350). In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may obtain an input (e.g., a touch input) for checking issue information about a drug corresponding to the object (1360) through the object (1360).

[0186] In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may obtain information about each of a plurality of types of drugs through an external device (e.g., the electronic device (102) or server (108) of FIG. 1). In one embodiment, the information about the drugs may include different types of information, including drug identification information (e.g., drug product name), drug type (e.g., acetaminophen or ibuprofen), recommended dosage, and issue information about the drugs. In one embodiment, the electronic device (300) may obtain information about the drugs from an external server corresponding to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety through a communication module (e.g., the communication module (220) of FIG. 2).

[0187] In one embodiment, the memory (e.g., memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2) may store information about a drug, including information about a recommended dosage. In one embodiment, the information about the recommended dosage may include information about a single dose corresponding to the age and weight of the subject, for each type of drug. In one embodiment, the memory may store information about the recommended dosage, as shown in Table 2 below.

[0188] Age Weight (kg) Single dose (ml) 12 years 43.20 11 years 38-42.9 15 9-10 years 30-37.9 12.5 6-8 years 21-29.9 10 4-5 years 16-20.9 7.5 2-3 years 12-15.9 12-23 months 10-11.9 3.5 4-11 months 7-9.9 2.5

[0189] According to the example described above, when medication is scheduled for a ward, the user can select a medication by considering information about the medication scheduled to be administered. FIG. 14 is a flowchart illustrating a method for providing guide information corresponding to cross-dosing according to one embodiment.

[0190] Referring to FIG. 14, an electronic device (e.g., the electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., the processor (240))) according to one embodiment may, in operation 1401, determine whether a protected person is able to take medication based on medication information (e.g., medication information of FIG. 2) and history information (e.g., history information of FIG. 7). In one embodiment, the history information may include information on at least one medication event corresponding to the protected person. In one embodiment, the information on the medication event may include, but is not limited to, at least one of information on a medication type, a type of medication, a product name of the medication, a medication timing, a dosage, a medication start time, and a medication duration. In one embodiment, the history information may be stored in a memory (e.g., the memory (230) of FIG. 2 or the second memory (250) of FIG. 2), but is not limited thereto. The history information will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 16.

[0191] In one embodiment, whether the protected person is able to take the medication can be determined by whether the patient exceeds the standard dosage for a specific type of medication (e.g., acetaminophen) within a specified time period (e.g., a time period prior to 24 hours from the current time). In one embodiment, when medication information is entered, the electronic device can determine whether the protected person is overdosing (or exceeding the standard dosage) of a specific type of medication based on history information. For example, assume that medication information for taking acetaminophen is entered. The electronic device can determine the patient's acetaminophen dosage during the specified time period based on the history information.

[0192] According to one embodiment, when it is determined that the subject is unable to take the medication (operation 1401-No), in operation 1403, the electronic device may display guide information corresponding to cross-dosing (e.g., guide information corresponding to cross-dosing of FIG. 6) through a touchscreen (e.g., touchscreen (210) of FIG. 2). In one embodiment, the guide information corresponding to cross-dosing may include at least one of information notifying that a standard dosage for a specific type of medication has been exceeded or information suggesting taking a different type of medication. In one embodiment, the electronic device may output a vibration-type alarm through a haptic module (e.g., haptic module (179) of FIG. 1) or an audio-type alarm through a speaker (e.g., audio output module (155) of FIG. 1) together with the guide information corresponding to cross-dosing.

[0193] In one embodiment, the electronic device may update history information to include medication information in operation 1405 based on the determination that the protected person is able to take the medication (operation 1401 - Yes).

[0194] According to the example described above, the user can be provided with guidance on whether the medication the person under protection is scheduled to take may exceed the standard dosage, and can be provided with guidance on taking a different type of medication than the type of medication the person under protection is scheduled to take.

[0195] FIG. 15 is a diagram illustrating a method for providing guide information corresponding to cross-dosing according to one embodiment.

[0196] Referring to FIG. 15, an electronic device (300, e.g., electronic device (200) of FIG. 2 (e.g., processor (240))) according to one embodiment can display guide information corresponding to cross-dosing (e.g., guide information corresponding to cross-dosing of FIG. 14) through a touchscreen (310, e.g., touchscreen (210) of FIG. 2).
