Abstract

Disclosed are a method and device for calculating the probability of being infected with or having a disease and a method and device for outputting a subject to be tested for a disease. The method for calculating the probability of being infected with a disease according to one embodiment of the present invention, is a method carried out on a computing device provided with one or more processors, and memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising the steps of: receiving location information of each of a plurality of persons; and calculating the probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons, on the basis of infected person information including identification information thereof and disease information thereof, and location information of each of the plurality of persons.

First claim

1 . A method carried out on a computing device with one or more processors and a memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving location information of each of a plurality of persons; and calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons, on the basis of infected person information including identification information thereof and disease information thereof, and location information of each of the plurality of persons.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons, on the basis of the infected person information and the location information of each of the plurality of persons; and calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons, on the basis of the disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the step of calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
determining a disease spreading power and a risk function corresponding to disease information of the infected person; and calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons, on the basis of the disease spreading power, the risk function, and a contact degree between the plurality of persons.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the step of calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
calculating a contact degree between the plurality of persons, on the basis of the risk function and the location information of each of the plurality of persons; and calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons, on the basis of the disease spreading power and the contact degree between the plurality of persons.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein when there is a primary contact person who is in contact with the infected person and a secondary contact person who is in contact with the primary contact person,
the step of calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons includes the steps of: calculating a probability of being infected with a disease of the primary contact person; and calculating a probability of being infected with a disease of the secondary contact person, on the basis of the probability of being infected with a disease of the primary contact person and a disease spreading probability between the primary contact person and the secondary contact person.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
when there is a plurality of contact routes between the infected person and a specific person, calculating a probability of being infected with a disease of the specific person according to each of the plurality of contact routes; and determining a maximum value of the probability of being infected with a disease of the specific person calculated according to each of the plurality of contact routes as a probability of being infected with a disease of the specific person.

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the step of calculating a probability of being infected with a disease for each of the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
when there is the plurality of infected persons, independently calculating the probability of being infected with a disease of each of the plurality of persons, in consideration of a disease spreading effect by each of the plurality of infected persons; and determining an arithmetic mean value of the probability of being infected with a disease of each of the plurality of persons, as a probability of being infected with a disease of each of the plurality of persons; wherein the arithmetic mean value is independently calculated in consideration of the disease spreading effect by each of the plurality of infected persons.

9 . A method carried out on a computing device with one or more processors and a memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving location information of each of a plurality of persons; receiving infected person information including identification information of an infected person and disease information of the infected person from a user; determining a subject to be tested for a disease among the plurality of persons, on the basis of the disease information of the infected person and the location information of each of the plurality of persons; and outputting information related to the subject to be tested for a disease.

10 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising a step of:
receiving a searching period from the user, wherein in the step of determining a subject to be tested for a disease, the subject to be tested for a disease among the plurality of persons is determined on the basis of the location information of each of the plurality of persons corresponding to the searching period.

11 . The method of claim 9 , further comprising the steps of:
determining a disease latent period corresponding to the disease information of the infected person; and setting a searching period on the basis of the disease latent period, wherein in the step of determining a subject to be tested for a disease, the subject to be tested for a disease among the plurality of persons is determined on the basis of the location information of each of the plurality of persons corresponding to the searching period.

13 . A method carried out on a computing device with one or more processors and a memory storing one or more programs executed by the one or more processors, the method comprising the steps of:
receiving location information of each of a plurality of persons; calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons, on the basis of infected person information including identification information thereof and disease information thereof, and location information of each of the plurality of persons; calculating a ratio of a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons and contact persons who are in contact with the plurality of persons, with respect to each of the plurality of persons; and calculating a probability of having a disease of each of the plurality of persons, on the basis of the ratio of the disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons and contact persons who are in contact with the plurality of persons.

14 . The method of claim 13 , wherein when there is a plurality of contact persons who is in contact with a specific person among the plurality of persons, a ratio of a disease spreading probability of the specific person to the specific contact person among the plurality of contact persons is calculated on the basis of a value obtained by dividing a disease spreading probability between the specific person and the specific contact person by a sum of a disease spreading probability between the specific person and the plurality of contact persons.

15 . The method of claim 13 , wherein the step of calculating a disease spreading probability between the plurality of persons includes the steps of:
determining a disease spreading power and a risk function corresponding to disease information o
