<Tele-Dental Smart Care System>

1 is a view showing the configuration of a tele-dental smart care system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, the tele-dental smart care system includes an oral care server 100 and a database 102.

The oral care server 100 provides an oral care service to a plurality of user terminals 104 connected to an individual through a wired or wireless network. To this end, the oral care server 100 receives user information from the user terminal 104 and stores it in the database 102 or provides oral information and reinforcement information of the user from the user terminal 104 for oral care service. Receive and store in the database 102. In this case, the oral cavity information is the oral cavity-related information on the user's teeth, the reinforcement information may correspond to the image information of the user's teeth taken through the camera.

In addition, the oral cavity information and reinforcement information stored in the database 102 is verified from the expert terminal 108 connected through the wired or wireless network, the expert terminal 108 determines whether the oral cavity information input by the user through the reinforcement information Verifies and updates the oral cavity information or generates oral care information according to the oral cavity information is transmitted to the oral care server 100 and stored in the database (102).

Subsequently, the oral care server 100 provides the stored oral care information to the corresponding user terminal 104 to clearly identify the oral information input through the expert terminals 1101, 1102... 110M. .

The oral care server 100 stores oral information and oral care information of each user stored in the database 102 in the national health care server 300 of a national or public organization such as the disease management headquarters of the Ministry of Health and Welfare for performing a national oral care test. Can be transmitted. As such, if the user is extended to a certain age, a specific region or the whole nation, national oral examination is possible, a practical national medical prevention system can be established, and effective oral management of individual can be induced.

Database of oral care server

The structure of the database 102 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described.

The database 102 includes oral information input by each user terminal and reinforcement information of a photographed image of teeth, personal information of each terminal user and an expert, oral statistics information for generating statistical values for each oral information, and Storing management information generated according to the oral cavity information is stored.

The oral cavity information is verified by the expert terminal 108 and the oral cavity information is updated and stored.

In the personal information, basic information about a plurality of experts is stored, and mainly a registered dentist or the like for the oral care service may correspond. The basic information includes expert identification information, authentication information, expert classification information, and the like, for login of experts and users.

In addition, basic information about a plurality of users is stored, and the basic information includes user identification information, authentication information, user classification information, and the like, for a user to log in.

<Oral health care service method using oral information>

Now, a tele-dental smart care method according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

The oral care server 100 receives identification information, authentication information, and user classification information from the user terminal 104 connected through a wired / wireless network and performs user authentication. The user classification information may be divided into an expert or a general user.

After the oral care server 100 receives the identification information, the authentication information, and the user classification information from the user terminal 104 and authenticates the user, the user terminal 104 inputs his oral information and enters his / her own camera with the camera. Taking a tooth image and inputs it as reinforcement information (S210), and transmits the oral information and reinforcement information thereof to the oral care server 100 (S220).

Thereafter, the oral care server 100 stores the transmitted oral information and reinforcement information in the database 102 (S230), and provides the stored oral information and reinforcement information to the expert terminal 108 (S240).

The expert terminal 108 provided with the oral cavity information and the reinforcement information performs verification on the oral cavity information on the basis of the reinforcing information, and if it is not necessary to correct or update the oral cavity information by correcting it if necessary. (S250).

Thereafter, the updated oral information is transmitted to the oral care server 100 and stored in the database 102. At this time, the expert terminal 108 generates and transmits oral care information that matches the oral cavity information of the user (S260). The oral care information includes necessary measures according to the oral cavity according to the oral information of each user, and generates information for oral care of each user. For example, if there is a concern about tooth decay, it may be a request for a dental visit or, if there is a concern about gum disease, prescription of gum medicine may be applicable.

The oral care server 100 stores updated or unrenewed oral information and oral care information in a database (S270), and forms statistical values with information for each individual, region, and age for the updated or unrenewed oral information. Oral statistical information for the teeth of the oral cavity and generates oral management statistics for each user's teeth management (S280). At this time, it is possible to calculate various statistical indices for the total number of surveyed persons, the total number of teeth to be surveyed, and the national oral health survey or the national oral preventive system.

Thereafter, the oral care server 100 transmits oral care information to the corresponding user terminal 104 (S290).

4 is a flowchart illustrating an oral cavity information input process using a user terminal in a tele-dental smart care system according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention.

Fig. 5 shows, in particular, the case where a smart phone or tablet PC, which is becoming more common in recent years, is illustrated as a user terminal.

First, each user can access the website of the oral care server 100 through the touch panel to download and install the oral information input program (S301). In addition, the oral cavity information input program can be installed without downloading options or essential applications of each smartphone or tablet PC.

Thereafter, the user inputs user information (identification information, authentication information, user classification information) through the touch panel or automatically confirms the age of the oral cavity information inputter according to the user information identified according to the login information on the management server 100. (S302).

Then, the user terminal 104 displays a mixture opening screen when the user is older than 6 years and displays a mixture opening screen when the user is older than 6 years and 14 years old, (S303). Here, the child teeth screen, the mixed teeth screen, the permanent teeth screen according to age may be simply displayed as a difference in size, shape, or difference in the total number of teeth according to age. In addition, the user terminal 104 displays 27 to 32 teeth as an input screen of the user's oral cavity information, and the displayed screen may be implemented as an array of teeth characterized according to the age of the examinee. In particular, infants and children under the age of 13 have a fear of dentistry or other hospitals, so they can arrange the arrangement of teeth as a friendly character tooth, or as a tooth decay, inflammation, ache and symptoms. It can be implemented in the form of a game or play for coloring the number of the tooth for the abnormal state of perceivable teeth. Through this, there is an effect of alleviating the resistance to simple oral input.

Thereafter, when one of the entire teeth is touched through the touch panel, the screen of the selected tooth is enlarged and displayed, and the remaining adjacent teeth are displayed at the bottom of the screen. At this time, the user inputs the user's own oral information for 27 to 32 total teeth on the screen shown through the touch panel (S304). Here, 13 to 16 teeth in the upper and 13 to 16 teeth in the lower surface may be sequentially numbered from left to right for each individual tooth, the number indicates the position of each tooth position . In addition to the shape of the tooth, the number according to the position of the tooth can be displayed simply by a figure such as a rectangle or a circle.

Thereafter, if the tooth is healthy and judged to be a healthy tooth, it is automatically recorded as 0 at the last storage without recording (S305). For example, if all 27 to 32 teeth are considered healthy teeth, the shortcut will automatically record a zero.

However, if there is a tooth having a disease such as tooth decay or inflammation that can be easily identified by the user, the user drags the tooth record box corresponding to the tooth position and touches the dragged tooth number to automatically color the form. The state of the tooth is input as an indication that there is a fear of dental diseases, such as tooth decay, inflammation, etc. (step S306). This may correspond to contents that can be easily perceived, such as tooth decay, inflammation or when the tooth shakes.

Thereafter, the user may sequentially move and touch the adjacent teeth of the corresponding tooth, and if the input result is the same as the test result of the adjacent tooth, drag the same tooth to the adjacent tooth (S307). This allows the user to save time and effort on input.

According to the input value of the tooth recording the presence or absence of the abnormality for the entire tooth automatically calculates the treatment and stores it as oral information (S308). Here, the treatment need indicates the number of teeth that need treatment, and may be represented by the number of teeth of 0 to 32. For example, if the tooth is healthy and determined to be a healthy tooth, the treatment need not be recorded but stored at the end. The degree is automatically recorded as zero.

Thereafter, the image of the user is photographed with a camera and the tooth image is stored as reinforcement information (S309).

Thereafter, the user terminal transmits the stored oral information and reinforcement information to the oral care server 100 to be stored in the database 102 (step S310).

In this way, the user can easily enter the oral cavity information using a smartphone or tablet PC.

It will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the following claims and their equivalents. Only. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the detailed description and all changes or modifications derived from the meaning and scope of the claims and their equivalents are to be construed as being included within the scope of the present invention do.

The present invention can be applied to a system that can service oral verification and oral care of each individual online. In addition, it can be applied to a terminal that allows the user to carry out oral verification and oral care. Also, the present invention can be applied to an application program that can be applied to the system and the terminal.
