Claims (7)

  1. Regarding the method by which a server provides non-face-to-face hearing test information, A step in which a receiver obtains user audio device information from a user account, including the product name of the audio device to be used by the user to perform a hearing test; The step of the receiver obtaining first hearing test response information for a hearing test from the user account; A step in which a processor performs equalization based on the user audio device information and the first hearing test response information to obtain second hearing test response information; The step of the processor obtaining hearing test result information for the hearing test based on the second hearing test response information; and A method comprising the step of the processor providing the hearing test result information to the user account.
  2. In Article 1, A method in which the above hearing test result information includes customized hearing aid recommendation information.
  3. In Article 1, The step of obtaining second hearing test response information by performing the above equalization A step of obtaining response frequency information for the first hearing test response information; A step of obtaining reference frequency information, which is a frequency reinforcement and cancellation signal corresponding to the user audio device information, from a preset database; and A method comprising the step of obtaining the second hearing test response information by performing equalization through the calculation of a correction coefficient based on the response frequency information and the reference frequency information.
  4. In Article 2, The step of providing the above hearing test result information A step of obtaining hearing test result information for the second hearing test response information based on preset hearing test guidelines; and A method comprising the step of obtaining customized hearing aid recommendation information for the user account based on the above hearing test result information.
  5. In Article 4, The step of obtaining the above-mentioned customized hearing aid recommendation information is A step of obtaining hearing status information for the user account from the above hearing test result information; and A method further comprising the step of determining a recommendation priority for providing customized hearing aid recommendation information based on the above hearing status information.
  6. In Article 5, The step of acquiring the above hearing status information is The method further includes the step of obtaining information regarding the hearing of the user account, such as the hearing maintenance frequency, hearing maintenance time period, hearing response speed, hearing response accuracy, and the presence or absence of ear disease, based on the second hearing test response information. The step of determining recommendation priorities that provides the above-mentioned customized hearing aid recommendation information is A method further comprising the step of determining the recommendation priority based on weights that are differently assigned to the hearing maintenance frequency, hearing maintenance time period, hearing response speed, hearing response accuracy, and information on the presence or absence of ear disease.
  7. In a server providing non-face-to-face hearing test information, A receiver that obtains user audio device information including a product name for an audio device to be used by a user to perform a hearing test from a user account, and obtains first hearing test response information for a hearing test from said user account; and A server comprising: a processor that performs equalization based on the user audio device information and the first hearing test response information to obtain second hearing test response information, obtains hearing test result information for the hearing test based on the second hearing test response information, and provides the hearing test result information to the user account.

Description

Method and device for providing non-face-to-face hearing test information The technical field of the present disclosure relates to a method and server for providing non-face-to-face hearing test information, and more specifically, to a method and server for obtaining user audio device information regarding an audio device to be used to perform a hearing test from a user account, obtaining first hearing test response information for the hearing test, performing equalization based on the user audio device information and the first hearing test response information to obtain second hearing test response information, obtaining hearing test result information for the hearing test based on the second hearing test response information, and providing this to the user account. Traditionally, hearing tests were conducted in schools or through health checkups. However, these tests were too simplistic, leading to the problem of missing opportunities for early treatment. Consequently, the implementation of precise hearing tests was delayed, and the time required to prepare documents for disability classification often resulted in missing the critical "golden hour" for treatment. Furthermore, there is a complete lack of support for patients with moderate hearing loss, and consumer harm caused by information asymmetry and unsound market practices makes it difficult for users to purchase hearing aids with government subsidies. Therefore, there is a need for technological development to provide non-face-to-face hearing test services that can prevent hearing loss among users and reduce social costs by addressing these issues and enhancing the accessibility and accuracy of hearing tests.

FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating each step of operation of a server providing non-face-to-face hearing test information according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is a configuration diagram showing the network configuration of a non-face-to-face hearing test information provision system according to one embodiment. Figure 4 is a diagram illustrating an example of a server providing non-face-to-face hearing test information based on the characteristics of the user's audio device. Figure 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of how a server differs from competitors in providing non-face-to-face hearing test information. The advantages and features of the present disclosure and the methods for achieving them will become clear by referring to the embodiments described below in detail together with the accompanying drawings. However, the present disclosure is not limited to the embodiments disclosed below but can be implemented in various different forms, and the embodiments provided are merely to make the disclosure complete and to fully inform those skilled in the art of the scope of the present disclosure. The terms used in this specification are for describing embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosure. In this specification, the singular form includes the plural form unless specifically stated otherwise in the text. The terms “comprises” and/or “comprising” as used in this specification do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other components in addition to the components mentioned. Throughout the specification, the same reference numerals refer to the same components, and “and/or” includes each of the mentioned components and all combinations of one or more. Although terms such as “first,” “second,” etc., are used to describe various components, these components are not limited by these terms. These terms are used merely to distinguish one component from another. Accordingly, the first component mentioned below may be the second component within the technical scope of this disclosure. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein (including technical and scientific terms) may be used in a meaning commonly understood by a person skilled in the art. Additionally, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are not to be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly and specifically defined otherwise. Spatially relative terms such as "below," "beneath," "lower," "above," and "upper" may be used to facilitate the description of the relationship between one component and other components as illustrated in the drawings. Spatially relative terms should be understood as encompassing different orientations of components during use or operation, in addition to the orientations depicted in the drawings. For example, if a component depicted in a drawing is inverted, a component described as "below" or "beneath" of another component may be placed "above" of that component. Therefore, the exemplary term "below" may encompass both the lower and upper directions. Components may also be oriented in other directions, and accordingly, spatially relative terms may be
