Abstract

The present invention relates to a health care network system and a method thereof utilizing a smart communicator. The health care network system of the present invention includes: a hospital server for providing a prescription based on information of a user'"'"'s health state and abnormality corresponding to the user'"'"'s prescription request through the Internet; at least one biological state measuring sensor installed in at least one home instrument to detect the user'"'"'s various biological states; a home server analyzing the user'"'"'s health state based on the measured biological states, identifying and transmitting the health abnormality, and receiving and transmitting the prescription by connecting to the hospital server when the prescription is requested; and a smart communicator receiving the user'"'"'s health state information and health abnormality information transmitted by the home server, transmitting the user'"'"'s prescription request information to the home server when the prescription request is made, and receiving prescription information transmitted by the home server.

Claims

1. A home server comprising:

a communication unit configured to communicate with at least one sensor, a smart communicator and a hospital server, and receive various biological states of a user from the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is respectively installed in at least one home instrument and detects the various biological states of a user;

a analyzing unit configured to analyze a user'"'"'s health state by comparing the various biological states of the user received from the at least one sensor and pre-stored basic health care information and detect an abnormal condition of the user'"'"'s health state based on the analyzing result;

a health care guide unit configured to generate a health care guide information according to the basic health care information, when the user'"'"'s health state is determined the abnormal condition based on result of the analyzing; and

a control unit configured to control to transmit the health care guide information and a prescription received from the hospital server to the smart communicator,

wherein the control unit configured to control to transmit a prescription request information for receiving the prescription to the hospital server only when the prescription request information is received from the smart communicator.

2. The home server of claim 1, wherein the communication unit performs communication with the smart communicator located at home by using a local area wireless communication, and performs the communication with the hospital server through internet.

3. The home server of claim 1, further comprising:

a storage unit configured to store the user'"'"'s biological state information and the basic health care information, and

wherein the control unit updates the stored user'"'"'s biological state information when the detected various biological states of the user is received from the at least one sensor.

4. The home server of claim 3, wherein the analyzing unit analyzes the user'"'"'s health state by comparing the updated biological state information and the basic health care information.

5. The home server of claim 1, wherein at least one sensor detects the various biological states of the user when the user uses the at least one home instrument.

6. The home server of claim 5, wherein the communication unit receives each of the biological state of the user from each sensor corresponding to the biological state, respectively.

7. The home server of claim 6, wherein the at least one sensor includes at least one from the group consisting of:

a body weight measuring sensor, body moisture measuring sensor, body fat measuring sensor, electrocardiogram measuring sensor, blood pressure/pulse rate measuring sensor, breathing rate measuring sensor, body height measuring sensor, body temperature measuring sensor, and exercise rate measuring sensor.

8. A smart communicator comprising:

a display unit;

a communication unit configured to communicate with a home server, and receives a user'"'"'s health state information detected from the home server;

a key input unit configured to receive an input of the user; and

a control unit configured to control to display the received user'"'"'s health state information on the display unit, transmit a prescription request information according to the input of the user, and display a prescription received from the home server,

wherein the user'"'"'s health state information is generated by comparing various biological states of the user detected by at least one sensor and basic health care information stored in the home server,

the at least one sensor is respectively installed in at least one home instrument and detects the various biological states of the user.

9. The smart communicator of claim 8, wherein the communication unit receives health care guide information from the home server, the display unit displays the health care guide information.

10. The smart communicator of claim 8, wherein the prescription is generated by a hospital server only when the prescription request information is received from the home server.

11. A method of a home server comprising:

receiving various biological states of a user from the at least one sensor, wherein the at least one sensor is respectively installed in at least one home instrument and detects the various biological states of a user;

analyzing a user'"'"'s health state by comparing the various biological states of the user received from the at least one sensor and pre-stored basic health care information;

detecting an abnormal condition of the user'"'"'s health state based on the analyzing result;

generating a health care guide information according to the basic health care information, when the user'"'"'s health state is determined the abnormal condition based on result of the analyzing

transmitting the user'"'"'s health state and the health care guide information to a smart communicator;

receiving a prescription request information for receiving a prescription from the smart communicator;

transmitting the prescription request information to a hospital server, only when the prescription request information is received from the smart communicator;

receiving the prescription from the hospital server; and

transmitting the prescription to the smart communicator.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the home server performs communication with the smart communicator located at home by using a local area wireless communication, and performs the communication with the hospital server through internet.

13. The method of claim 11, further comprising:

updating stored user'"'"'s biological state information when the detected various biological states of the user is received from the at least one sensor.

14. The method of claim 13, wherein the analyzing the user'"'"'s health state comprises analyzing the user'"'"'s health state by comparing the updated biological state information and the basic health care information.
