In particular, in certain applications, the application program in the user device 10 may record the medication history 103 of the user and may set reminder information 105 to remind the user to take the medication and the manner of medication on time.

The main circuit components of the temperature sensing device disposed in the medicine container can be referred to the block diagram of the circuit component embodiment shown in fig. 2.

The main circuit components of the temperature sensing device shown in the figure include a main control unit 201 for controlling the operation of the device, and circuit components electrically connected to the control unit 201, such as a temperature sensor 205 for sensing the temperature in the container body, a communication unit 203 for communicating with an external device (such as the user device 10 shown in fig. 1), and related power supply modules, such as a power management unit 207 and a battery 209, so that the power management unit 207 controls the battery 209 to supply power to the temperature sensing device.

Specifically, the communication unit 203 and the antenna 231 thereof support a specific wireless communication protocol for performing short-range communication with an external device, such as a near-field communication (NFC) circuit or a Bluetooth (Bluetooth) circuit with low power consumption and low transmission capacity ^TM ) The circuit may receive the temperature sensed by the temperature sensor 205 through the control unit 201 and transmit the temperature to an external device, such as the user device shown in fig. 1. Further, related information (such as temperature information, medication records, etc.) may also be continuously transmitted to the specific servo system through the user device.

According to one embodiment, a temperature sensing device is disposed at any position of the upper cover of the medicine container and the container body thereof, and the battery (which may include a general direct current battery, a built-in rechargeable battery, a solar battery, or the like) supplies power for operation thereof, so as to sense the temperature in the medicine container at regular time or continuously, wherein a supported wireless communication protocol such as Near Field Communication (NFC) is connected to the user device by a wireless communication technology, so as to transmit temperature information to an application program in the user device, record the temperature according to time and monitor the temperature change, so that a temperature threshold can be set to determine whether there is a temperature abnormality at any time, which may cause a problem of medicine deterioration.

According to yet another embodiment, the proposed medicine container with monitoring function can also automatically establish the medication record, and the embodiment can refer to the schematic diagram of the medicine packing box with antenna tag shown in fig. 3.

In the embodiment of the medicine packing box 30 shown in the above embodiment, the container body includes the upper cover 301 and the container 303, and the upper and lower cover body joint portions of the medicine packing box are adhered with the easily-torn antenna tag 300, which is used to detect whether the medicine packing box 30 is opened, and if the medicine packing box 30 is opened, the antenna tag 300 will be torn to form the medication record.

According to an embodiment, the antenna tag 300 may be an rfid tag comprising an antenna circuit layer, a film substrate, an rf circuit, a control circuit, and a memory circuit, wherein a unique identifier is recorded, and the identifier can be obtained by scanning the antenna tag 300 by an external reader.

According to one embodiment, when the easily torn antenna tag 300 attached to the joint of the upper and lower covers of the medicine packing box is broken, the antenna tag is disabled and cannot be read, or the information that the antenna tag 300 is torn instantly is scanned, so that whether there is a record of the medicine is judged according to the change. In operation, the user device is operated to scan the antenna tag 300 placed on one or more of the drug packages 30 in the drug container via a specific wireless signal (e.g., NFC signal), and each antenna tag 300 records a unique identifier, so that it can be determined whether there is a drug to be administered according to the identifier of the scanned antenna tag. The medication records are formed accordingly and can be transmitted to the user device, each medication record including information such as medicine name, medication time and residual medication can be recorded through an application program executed on the user device, and the medication records can be continuously uploaded to a medication management system through a network to establish the medication records of the user, so that the purpose of tracking medication of the user can be achieved, and medication digital management can be accurately completed. In addition, functions such as reminding and warning can be additionally added.
