[0023] FIG. 3 is a block diagram illustrating the internal structure of a senior health support device according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0024] FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating an embodiment of a senior health support method according to the present invention.

[0025]

[0026] The aforementioned objectives, features, and advantages are described in detail below with reference to the attached drawings, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to easily implement the technical concept of the present invention. In describing the present invention, detailed descriptions of known technologies related to the present invention are omitted if it is determined that such descriptions would unnecessarily obscure the essence of the invention. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the attached drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to indicate the same or similar components.

[0027]

[0028] FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 are network configuration diagrams for explaining a senior health support system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0029] Referring to Figure 1, the senior health support system can utilize various videos and, because it is a touch-based system, can elicit active participation from seniors, it is a system that can break away from existing passive education and improve physical and mental conditions and the effects of various activities.

[0030] Therefore, indoor physical education can be enjoyed without being affected by various external environmental factors such as heatwaves, heavy rain, typhoons, and fine dust. In this case, since there is no need for equipment installation, retrieval and organization, purchasing, storage, or maintenance during classes, it enables efficient class execution and cost reduction.

[0031] A senior health support system capable of providing such effects comprises a screen (100), a touch sensor (200_1 to 200_N) installed around the screen (100) and sensing the location when the screen on the screen (100) is touched, a senior health support device (300) positioned around the touch sensor (200_1 to 200_N) and capturing the situation in front of the screen (100), a beam projector (400) that projects a predetermined image onto the screen (100), and a senior terminal (500) that receives the image and provides a review process regarding the physical / mental state provided through the screen.

[0032] The screen (100) is a large screen (100) installed at the front of a gymnasium, classroom, and auditorium, and is capable of implementing multi-touch. As the screen (100) is large in size, it is effective for indoor sports and multi-purpose use.

[0033] In other words, since the screen (100) is large, not only can the participation of seniors be increased, but the details of the video expression can also be made more detailed, thereby greatly enhancing the visual effect. In addition, because the screen (100) is large, there is an advantage that multiple seniors can participate at the same time.

[0034] When a senior touches the screen (100), they can participate in a multimedia virtual reality. In particular, since the present invention can provide images of various physical and mental states, it is sufficient to arouse the curiosity of seniors.

[0035] In the present invention, an operation video, an electronic whiteboard video, and a multimedia video can be provided on a screen (100). In this embodiment, the wall on which the screen (100) is installed is an elastic wall. Therefore, even if one runs to the screen (100) and touches the screen (100) with force, the phenomenon of the wrist being bent or the hand being strained can be reduced.

[0036] In addition, in this embodiment, safety spaces where the screen (100) is not placed are arranged on both sides of the elastic wall. A predetermined protective barrier is installed in the safety spaces. Additionally, a screen protective barrier is provided around the screen (100).

[0037] For example, if the screen (100) is installed up to the corner of the wall, there is a risk that seniors may get injured in the corner area of ​​the wall. However, if a safe space is formed in the corner area of ​​the wall where the screen (100) is not placed, this space is free, so it is possible to prevent, to some extent, the phenomenon of seniors being pushed and injured by surrounding seniors.

[0038] In addition, a blank space is provided within the entire screen (100) area where the beam projector (160) image is not projected, serving to prevent safety accidents during physical / mental activity.

[0039] A beam projector (400) is installed on the ceiling of a classroom or auditorium and is a device that projects a predetermined image onto a screen (100). This beam projector (400) can project an educational image onto the screen (100) according to the control of the senior health support device (300).

[0040] The senior health support device (300) provides a video type selection procedure and selects a video through the video type selection procedure.

[0041] In one embodiment, when a field-specific image is selected through an image type selection procedure, the senior health support device (300) extracts and provides an image of the field selected by the senior from a pre-built image database.

[0042] In another embodiment, when an educational video is selected through a video type selection procedure, the senior health support device (300) provides a video corresponding to the senior's purpose of video use (i.e., for healing purposes, educational purposes, etc.).

[0043] To this end, when an educational video is selected, the senior health support device (300) receives senior information (i.e., senior intelligence score or senior disease information) and participant information (i.e., a single or multiple).

[0044] If the senior health support device (300) receives a senior intelligence score when the purpose of using the video is for educational purposes, and receives senior disease information when the purpose of using the video is for healing purposes.

[0045] In one embodiment, when it is determined that the purpose of using the video is for educational purposes and that a number of seniors are participating, the senior health support device (300) extracts and provides an educational video among the educational videos stored in a pre-established educational video database, wherein tag information corresponding to the senior intelligence score of each of the participating seniors is assigned.

[0046] At this time, the senior health support device (300) generates an average senior intelligence score using the senior intelligence scores of each of the multiple seniors participating in the educational video, and then provides the educational video with tag information corresponding to the average senior intelligence score assigned through a beam projector (400).

[0047] Then, the senior health support device (300) compares the senior intelligence score corresponding to the tag information assigned to the educational video with the senior intelligence score determined according to the correct answer determined by the senior's motion, and checks whether the educational video provided through the beam projector (400) is suitable for the participating seniors.

[0048] To this end, the senior health support device (300) extracts position information of a hand for each senior based on sensing information received from touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N), and extracts position information of touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N) that are close to the position information of a hand for each senior. The reason for this is that the senior health support device (300) checks whether there is a correct answer for each senior when there are many participating seniors.

[0049] Accordingly, the senior health support device (300) determines whether the senior is correct based on whether the location information of the touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N) corresponds to the predetermined correct answer location information, and calculates an average score based on whether the senior is correct.

[0050] After that, the senior health support device (300) updates the tag information of the video provided through the beam projector (400) by comparing the average score and the senior intelligence score indicated by the tag information of the video provided through the beam projector (400).

[0051] In one embodiment, the senior health support device (300) does not update the tag information assigned to the image provided through the beam projector (400) if the difference score between the average score and the senior intelligence score indicated by the tag information of the image provided through the beam projector (400) is less than or equal to a specific score, but updates the tag information assigned to the image provided through the beam projector (400) if the difference score is greater than or equal to a specific score.

[0052] At this time, the senior health support device (300) calculates a correction score by assigning a weight corresponding to the number of people who participated in the difference score, and updates the tag information by subtracting the correction score from the senior intelligence score corresponding to the tag information.

[0053] In another embodiment, when it is determined that the purpose of using the video is for educational purposes and that a single senior is participating, the senior health support device (300) extracts an educational video from among the educational videos stored in a pre-established educational video database that has tag information corresponding to a senior intelligence score assigned to it, and provides it through a beam projector (400).

[0054] Then, the senior health support device (300) compares the senior intelligence score corresponding to the tag information assigned to the educational video with the senior intelligence score determined according to the correct answer determined by the senior's motion, and checks whether the educational video provided through the beam projector (400) is suitable for the participating senior.

[0055] To this end, the senior health support device (300) extracts position information of a senior's hand from sensing information received from touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N), and extracts position information of touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N) that are close to the position information of a senior's hand.

[0056] Accordingly, the senior health support device (300) can determine whether the correct answer is correct for each senior based on whether the location information of the touch sensors (200_1 to 200_N) corresponds to the predetermined correct answer location information.

[0057] After that, the senior health support device (300) updates the tag information of the video provided through the beam projector (400) by comparing the senior intelligence score and the senior intelligence score indicated by the tag information of the video provided through the beam projector (400).

[0058]
