The present invention discloses a method for predicting the number of suicides using social information by considering more realistic factors such as the current environment where the individuals are frequently exposed to the social atmosphere and interact with each other with the development of the social media as well as the climate and economic conditions affecting suicides, modeling the regression analysis model by reflecting the social information such as the number of suicide-related postings posted in the social network services, the situation in which the suicide of the specific famous person is reported, and the like, and applying the social indicators such as the posting indicator, the specific person's suicide indicator, and the like to the regression analysis model to predict the number of suicides, and a device using the same.
Please help me write a proper abstract based on the patent claims. CLAIM: 1. A method of predicting the number of suicides using social information comprising: modeling a regression analysis model for predicting the number of suicides according to a variable based on at least one piece of social information collected from a mass media service; setting the variable prior to a specific time; and predicting the number of suicides at the specific time according to variations of the variables by applying the variable set in the setting of the variable to the regression analysis model. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the social information includes at least either one of information about the number of postings including a specific risk word posted in a specific social network service of the mass media service and information about the specific person's suicide exposed to the mass media service. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the setting of the variable sets a posting indicator according to the information about the number of postings collected for the specific collecting period prior to the specific time as the variable. 4. The method of claim 2, wherein, in the setting of the variables, the information about the specific person's suicide for at least some of the specific time is searched from the collected information about the specific person's suicides within a specific application period after a time when it is first exposed to the mass media service, and a specific person's suicide indicator associated with the information about the searched specific person's suicide is set as the variable. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein, in the setting of the variables, a weight value according to at least one of the number of exposures of the information about the searched specific person's suicide to the mass media service, an exposure period by the mass media service, and a difference in the number of days between the time when it is first exposed to the mass media service and the specific time is applied to the specific person's suicide indicator according to the information about the searched specific person's suicide, and the specific person's suicide indicator to which the weight value is applied is set as the variable. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein, in the setting of the variables, a climate indicator based on climate information including at least one of temperature information, humidity information, and sunshine information that are collected for a specific collecting period prior to the specific time and an economic indicator based on economic information including at least one of consumption pattern analysis information, consumer price index (CPI) information, unemployment information, and composite stock price index information that are collected for the specific collecting period prior to the specific time are further set as the variables. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the modeling models regression analysis model for predicting the number of suicides according to the variable based on the at least one piece of social information, climate information including at least one of temperature information, humidity information, and sunshine information, and economic information including at least one of consumption pattern analysis information, consumer price index (CPI) information, unemployment information, and composite stock price index information 8. A device for predicting the number of suicides comprising: a modeling unit for modeling a regression analysis model for predicting the number of suicides according to a variable based on at least one piece of social information collected from a mass media service; a variable-setting unit for setting the variable prior to a specific time; and a prediction controller for predicting the number of suicides at the specific time according to variations of the variable by applying the predetermined variable to the regression analysis model.
