Health care system, and apparatus and method for controlling health care
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling health care in a health care system, the apparatus comprising:
- a communication unit configured to transmit and/or receive a sensed biological signal;
a determination unit configured to determine whether the health care system comprises, in addition to a first gateway through which the sensed biological signal is transmitted and/or received, at least one second gateway through which the sensed biological signal can be transmitted and/or received, and determine which gateway the sensed biological signal is to be transmitted and/or received through in response to the health care system comprising the second gateway; and
a communication control unit configured to control a transmitting and/or receiving function of each gateway according to a result of the determining,wherein in response to the determination unit determining that the health care system comprises the second gateway, the communication control unit controls the transmitting and/or receiving function of the first gateway to be deactivated.

22. A health care system comprising:
-
a sensing unit configured to sense a biological signal of a user; a health care server configured to analyze information regarding health care of the user based on the sensed biological signal; a plurality of gateways configured to receive the biological signal from the sensing unit, transmitting the received biological signal to the health care server, and displaying the information regarding health care; and a health care controller configured to receive the biological signal, configured to determine whether the health care system comprises, in addition to a first gateway through which the sensed biological signal is transmitted and/or received, at least one second gateway through which the sensed biological signal may be transmitted and/or received, configured to determine which gateway the sensed biological signal is to be transmitted and/or received through in response to the health care system comprises the second gateway, and configured to control a transmitting and/or receiving function of each gateway according to a result of the determining, wherein the health care controller is comprised in the health care server, the gateways, the sensing unit, or a combination thereof, and wherein in response to a determination determining that the health care system comprises the second gateway, the controlling comprises controlling the transmitting and/or receiving function of the first gateway to be deactivated.

23. An apparatus for controlling health care in a health care system, the apparatus comprising:
-
a communication unit configured to transmit and/or receive a sensed biological signal; a determination unit configured to determine which gateway of a plurality of gateways the sensed biological signal is to be transmitted and/or received through based on a set of predefined conditions; and a communication control unit configured to control a transmitting and/or receiving function of each gateway according to a result of the determining, wherein the communication control unit controls the transmitting and/or receiving function of remaining gateways except for the determined gateway to be deactivated.
