The blood sugar measuring unit 120 measures a blood glucose level of a user to obtain a blood glucose level measurement value.

Here, the blood glucose level measurement information, the motion sensing information, the life pattern information, and the blood glucose level comprehensive information are described first, and then the sensing unit 140, the storage unit 130, the control unit 110, 150, an output unit 160, a communication unit 170, and a power supply unit will be described.

The blood glucose level measurement information refers to information including the blood glucose measurement time and the blood glucose level measurement value as information obtained by measuring the blood glucose level of the user in the blood glucose level measurement unit 120. [ The control unit 110 receives the blood glucose amount measurement value obtained by the blood glucose measurement unit 120 and generates the blood glucose amount measurement information by linking the blood glucose measurement time. Here, the blood glucose measurement time refers to the time at which the blood glucose amount is measured.

The motion sensing information is information obtained by detecting movement of the user's arm or the like by a gyro or an acceleration sensor included in the sensing unit 140, which will be described later, and determines activity based on the user's physical movement such as eating, sleeping, To the control unit 110 in order to allow the user to view the image.

To describe the life pattern information, statistical information on daily life patterns of the user, statistical information about daily life activities or conditions of the user such as what state the user is in at what time or at what time, Information can be said to say.

Such life pattern information includes life pattern time information and life pattern biometric information. The life pattern time information is generated based on the motion sensing information obtained from the sensing unit.

It is preferable that at least one of the user's sleep time, weather time, meal start time, meal end time, movement start time according to movement, and movement end time according to movement is included in the life pattern time information.

Such life pattern time information can be obtained based on motion sensing information accumulated over time.

The biometric information is information on the health state of the user's living body and is acquired through the sensing unit 140. The life pattern biometric information is information that associates biometric information with visual information.

The controller 110 receiving the biometric information from the sensing unit 140 generates the biometric information of the living pattern by associating the biometric information with the time information. Here, the time information refers to the time at which the biometric information is acquired through the sensing unit.

For example, the user's body temperature is sensed, and the user's body temperature measurement value is 37 degrees. Biometric information has no visual information. Accordingly, the control unit 110 associates the body temperature measurement value of 37 degrees with the body temperature measurement time of 7 am, as the time information.

In this way, when the visual information is reflected in the biometric information, the control unit 110 generates the biometric information of the life pattern of 'the body temperature of the user at 7:00 am is 37 degrees'. Then, such living pattern biometric information is accumulated and updated repeatedly.

Such living pattern biometric information includes a shallow RAM sleep time, a deep sleep time, a moving distance and a moving speed according to a time zone, a walking speed, a heart rate information including a user's heart rate per unit time, a user's blood oxygen concentration, An amount of the drug to be administered, and an amount of the drug to be administered.

The living pattern biometric information may also be generated based on the motion sensing information obtained from the sensing unit 140. [

When the motion sensing information obtained from the gyro or the acceleration sensor included in the sensing unit 140 is transmitted to the control unit 110 so that the life pattern biometric information of the user can be generated and updated, Or may acquire a result value continuously from the heartbeat pulse sensor, blood oxygen concentration sensor, body temperature sensor, and the like included in the sensing unit 140 with the passage of time. Or input from the outside via an input unit or a communication unit.

Such living pattern biometric information is included in living pattern information together with living pattern time information. The blood glucose level comprehensive information is information including blood glucose level measurement information and life pattern information. The life pattern information may be included in the blood glucose amount comprehensive information together with the blood glucose amount measurement information and stored in the storage unit 130. [

Here, the blood sugar amount measurement information and the life pattern information matching each other on the basis of an arbitrary time or time are linked to each other and included in the blood glucose amount comprehensive information. In other words, the life pattern information is included in the blood glucose amount comprehensive information in association with the blood glucose amount measurement information matched with reference to an arbitrary time or time. In this case, for example, the living pattern information and the blood glucose level measurement information corresponding to this time point are combined with each other at 1:00 pm on the 23rd, so that the total blood glucose level information is 1:00 pm on the 23rd.

The thus generated blood sugar amount comprehensive information is stored or updated in the storage unit 130 under the control of the control unit 110. [

For example, if the gyroscope or acceleration sensor included in the sensing unit 140 senses the user's active motion for a predetermined time from the user wearing the first wearable device at 7:00 am, It is determined that the user has changed from the RAM sleep state to the weather state at 7:00 am, and the life pattern information is updated.

After that, the user starts breakfast at 7:30 am and finishes the breakfast at 8:00 am through the sensing unit 140. At this time (from 7:30 am to 8:00 am for 30 minutes Time) is determined as the breakfast time, and is updated by reflecting on the life pattern information.

If the user performs an autonomous blood glucose measurement at 7:30 am, the blood glucose measurement information such as the blood glucose measurement time and the blood glucose level measurement value is substantially the same after the waking time and at the start of breakfast, And may store the updated information in the storage unit 130.

Thus, the blood sugar amount measurement information and the life pattern information corresponding to each other on the basis of each time or time are linked to each other, and the blood sugar amount measurement information and the life pattern information linked to each other are included in the blood glucose amount comprehensive information.

For this, the control unit 110 associates the blood sugar amount measurement information and the life pattern information corresponding to each other based on an arbitrary time or time, and stores the information in the storage unit 130 or updates the stored information.

The method of measuring the blood glucose level by the blood glucose measuring unit 120 is not limited to the specific method, and measurement may be performed using a commonly used blood glucose level measuring method.

The blood glucose measuring unit 120 measures the blood glucose level under the control of the control unit 110, which will be described later, at the user's selection. Then, the measured blood glucose amount measurement value is transmitted to the control unit 110.

There is no particular limitation on the number of blood glucose measurement times. The self-selected blood glucose measurement by the user is preferably measured 8 times a day by measuring the amount of blood glucose before bedtime, after fasting, and before and after meals of three meals a day.

More preferably, measurements are made before or after any event or circumstance that may cause changes in blood glucose levels, such as before or after exercise or before or after ingestion of food such as snacks. It is also desirable to constantly measure the amount of blood glucose at regular intervals.

As the amount of measured blood glucose amount measurement information is accumulated, the reliability of the blood glucose level measurement information and the blood glucose level comprehensive information improves, and the accuracy of the prediction of the degree of blood glucose increase and decrease can be improved.

The sensing unit 140 senses the motion of the user and acquires motion sensing information. More preferably, the biometric information of the user is also acquired.

The sensing unit 140 may include various sensors. For example, a heart rate pulse sensor, a gyro, an acceleration sensor, a body temperature sensor, a blood oxygen concentration, a GPS sensor, and the like may be included.

A heart rate pulse sensor provided to acquire biometric information of a user senses and acquires heart rate information about a heart rate state of a user such as a heart rate. The blood oxygen concentration sensor measures the blood oxygen concentration of the user and transmits blood oxygen concentration information to the control unit 110 side. The GPS sensor notifies the current position of the user, tracks the total travel distance information for one day, and transmits the tracking information to the controller 110.

The gyro or acceleration sensor acquires motion sensing information by sensing movement of a user, and acquires life pattern information based on motion sensing information. For example, the gyro or acceleration sensor senses the motion of the user's arm in a first wearable device, such as a wristwatch or band, which can be worn on the wearer's wrist, and transmits motion sensing information to the controller 110 side.

The control unit 110 determines and calculates the user's sleep time, weather time, shallow rem (REM) sleep time, deep sleep time, meal start time, and meal end time based on the motion sensing information transmitted from the gyro or acceleration sensor And calculates the number of gait hits of the user.

To this end, the storage unit 130 preferably stores motion standard model information to be compared with the motion sensing information so as to determine the user's state. In this case, the controller 110 compares the motion sensing information with the motion standard model information, and determines whether the motion of the user is a motion corresponding to a state or a situation.

In addition, the controller 110 compares the motion sensing information detected by the gyro or the acceleration sensor with the movement standard model information of the eating arm to determine whether the meal starts and ends the meal, and determines the meal start time and the meal end time, And stores or updates the pattern information in the storage unit 130.

The storage unit 130 stores blood glucose level measurement information including blood glucose level measurement values obtained by the blood glucose measurement unit 120 or motion sensing information obtained by the sensing unit 140. [

The control unit 110 controls the blood glucose measurement unit 120, the storage unit 130, or the sensing unit 140. Further, it may control the input unit 150, the output unit 160, or the communication unit 170, which are further included. The control unit 110 receives the blood glucose level measurement value from the blood glucose measurement unit 120 and receives the motion sensing information from the sensing unit 140. The control unit 110 updates the received blood glucose amount measurement value or the motion sensing measurement information and stores the updated information in the storage unit 130.

The control unit 110 generates the life pattern information of the user based on the motion sensing information obtained from the sensing unit 140 as described above. Also, the storage unit 130 stores or updates the blood sugar amount comprehensive information associated with the blood glucose amount measurement information and the life pattern information based on an arbitrary time or time.

For example, the contents as exemplified in the following Table 1 may be included in the blood glucose amount comprehensive information.
