The present invention claims priority of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0044110, filed on Apr. 22, 2013, which is incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a self-examination apparatus for an examinee, and more particularly, to an apparatus and method for self-examining whether a breast tissue is abnormal, capable of conveniently diagnosing whether an examinee's specific body part to be checked such as a breast, is abnormal without expensive medical equipments such as ultrasonic equipment, radiation equipment and magnetic field equipment, by embodying an examination checker that transmits a microwave to the examinee's body part, receives a response microwave, and generates microwave information, and a self-examination device installed in a mobile terminal such as a smart phone in a form of an application that analyzes microwave information provided by the examination checker and determines whether an examinee's breast tissue is abnormal.
Recently, an active research has been made to develop a telemedicine system with which an examinee can take a treatment without having to go to the hospital.
The above and other objects and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description of the embodiments given in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a conceptual view illustrating a telemedicine system for a pregnant woman in the related art;
FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of a mobile terminal having an apparatus for self-examining whether a breast tissue is abnormal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention;
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
In the following description of the present invention, if the detailed description of the already known structure and operation may confuse the subject matter of the present invention, the detailed description thereof will be omitted. The following terms are terminologies defined by considering functions in the embodiments of the present invention and may be changed operators intend for the invention and practice. Hence, the terms need to be defined throughout the description of the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a detailed block diagram of a mobile terminal having an apparatus for self-examining whether a breast tissue is abnormal in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. Such a mobile terminal may include a terminal such as a smart phone, a tablet PC and a PDA (personal digital assistant).
