<2. Flow of medication management>
Next, the flow of medication management using the medication management system 1 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9 and 10. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing a flow of medication management using the medication management system 1. FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the opening process using the opening device 2.

  When performing medication management, first, the opening device 2 and the management device 3 are connected to be communicable. Then, as shown in FIG. 9, drug information is input from the management control unit 30 of the management device 3 to the control unit 50 of the opening device 2 (step S1). The medicine information includes, for example, a code 90 attached to the medicine package 9 to be taken, and information such as a taking date and a taking time corresponding to the code 90.

  Then, an opening process is performed using the opening device 2 to which the medicine information is input (step S2). Thereafter, the opening device 2 and the management device 3 are connected again, and the opening information stored in the opening device 2 is transmitted to the management device 3 (step S3). The opening information includes, for example, the determination contents and determination date and time of the code authentication unit and the presence / absence of the opening operation.

  Thus, in this medication management system 1, the opening information is fed back to the management device 3. Thereby, the administration state of the medicine by the user can be managed in the management device 3.

  The above steps S1 to S3 are performed for each medication timing. However, the input of the drug information in step S1 and the transmission of the unsealing information in step S3 may be performed every certain period (for example, one week) longer than the time interval of taking the medicine.

  Next, the flow of the unsealing process in step S2 will be described. When performing the opening process, as shown in FIG. 10, first, the medicine package 9 to be taken is set in the opening device 2 (step S21). Specifically, the user inserts the end portions of the second package 9 of the upper action portion 221 and the lower action portion 222, and arranges the code 90 of the package 9 at a position facing the reading portion 41, Press the open / close button 24. Thereby, the edge part of the package 9 is inserted | pinched by the upper side action part 221 and the lower side action part 222. FIG.

  When the package 9 is set in the opening device 2, the reading unit 41 reads the code 90 (step S22). Then, the code authenticating unit 51 determines whether or not the read code 90 is appropriate (step S23). Specifically, the code authenticating unit 51 determines whether or not the type of medicine and the date and time of medication included in the content of the code 90 coincide with those corresponding to the current medication date and time among the medicine information input in advance. to decide.

  If it is determined in step S23 that the code 90 is appropriate, the code authenticating unit 51 gives an opening instruction to the opening control unit 52. Thereby, the opening control part 52 switches the opening part 40 to the state which can be cut | disconnected, and performs opening operation (step S24). Then, the control part 50 complete | finishes the opening process of step S2. The user takes the medicine in the opened package 9.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step S23 that the code 90 read from the code authentication unit 51 is not appropriate, the control unit 50 causes the notification unit 23 to notify an error (step S25). As an error notification method, for example, a warning sound may be simply issued, or what is different such as date and time zone may be notified by voice. Moreover, when the notification part 23 has a display function, you may notify by displaying a character or an image. After the error notification in step S25, the control unit 50 ends the opening process in step S2.

  Thus, if this medication management system 1 is used, only a predetermined medicine package 9 can be opened. Accordingly, the user can open only the predetermined medicine package 9. Thereby, the judgment burden of the user who distinguishes the package 9 that should be opened and the package 9 that should not be opened is reduced. That is, using the unsealing device 2 for unsealing the medicine package, it is possible to suppress mistaking of the packaged medicine.

  In the present embodiment, the opening device 2 can communicate with the management device 3 via the communication unit 44. For this reason, it is not necessary to provide the operation part for inputting medicine information data in the opening device 2 itself. Thereby, medicine information data can be input while suppressing the enlargement of the opening device 2.

<3. Modification>
Although one embodiment of the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment.

  FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram of a medication management system 1A according to a modification. FIG. 12 is a control block diagram of the medication management system 1A of the example of FIG. The medication management system 1A in the example of FIG. 11 includes a drug supply device 2A and a management device 3A. Since the management apparatus 3A is equivalent to the management apparatus 3 of the above embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.

  The medicine supply device 2A is an apparatus for opening the package 9 in which a plurality of medicines are packaged and supplying the medicine inside. As shown in FIGS. 11 and 12, the medicine supply device 2A includes a notification unit 23A including a notification lamp 230A, a storage unit 25A, a command button 26A, a dish unit 27A, a reading unit 41A, an opening unit 40A including a cutter 42A, communication 44A, transfer part 45A, and control part 50A. The control unit 50A controls each unit in the medicine supply device 2A. The control unit 50A includes a code authentication unit 51A, an opening control unit 52A, and a transfer control unit 53A.

  The notification unit 23A causes the notification lamp 230A to emit light when the pre-input taking time is reached and notifies the user that it is the taking time. Note that the notification unit 23A may notify the user that it is a taking time by a method other than light such as voice. The accommodating portion 25A accommodates a plurality of packages 9A. In the example of FIG. 11, a plurality of packages 9 </ b> A connected in a sheet shape are accommodated in the accommodating portion 25 </ b> A. The command button 26A is pressed when the user takes a medicine, and inputs a command for performing an opening operation to the control unit 50A. The medicine stored in the package 9 opened by the opening part 40A is placed on the dish part 27A.

  The opening part 40A includes a cutter 42A. Since the reading unit 41A and the communication unit 44A are the same as the reading unit 41 and the communication unit 44 of the above-described embodiment, description thereof is omitted. The transfer unit 45A transfers the package 9A from the storage unit 25A to the opening unit 40A. The reading unit 41A reads a code attached to the package 9A transferred by the transfer unit 45A. The code authenticating unit 51A determines whether or not the code read by the reading unit 41A is appropriate. The opening control unit 52A switches the opening unit 40A between a cut state and a standby state. When the opening part 40A is in a cut state, the package 9A is cut and opened. And the chemical | medical agent accommodated in the inside of the opened package 9A is mounted in the tray part 27A. The transfer control unit 53A causes the transfer unit 45A to execute a transfer operation.

  In the medicine supply device 2A, when the user presses the command button 26A, the transfer unit 45A transfers the package 9A according to a command from the transfer control unit 53A. When the code of the package 9A arranged on the most downstream side reaches the reading unit 41, the reading unit 41A reads the code. Then, the code authentication unit 51A determines whether or not the read code is appropriate. Only when the code authentication unit 51A determines that the code is appropriate, the unsealing control unit 52A sets the unsealing unit 40A to the cut state. Thereby, the packaging 9 on the most downstream side is cut and opened, and the medicine stored in the packaging 9 is placed on the dish portion 27A. When the code authentication unit 51A determines that the code is not proper, the package 9 is not opened, and the notification unit 23A notifies the error.

  If such a medicine supply device 2A is used, the user can take an appropriate medicine. For example, even when the user presses the command button 26A at a time other than the taking time or when the order of the set packaging 9A is wrong, the user can be prevented from taking the wrong medicine. The drug supply device 2A is used in, for example, an inpatient ward or a care facility of a hospital. If such a medicine supply device 2A is used, it is possible to suppress the mistaking of the medicine by the patient or the cared person while reducing the labor of the caregiver or the like.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, when the opening part of the opening apparatus will be in a cuttable state, the package was cut automatically, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the standby state, the opening portion may be unlocked when the blade portion is locked in the accommodated state while being in a severable state. In this case, for example, the user may manually move the blade to cut the package.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, it is not described about the case where a some user uses the same opening apparatus. However, a plurality of users may use one opening device. In this case, for example, it is necessary to have a mechanism for inputting a judgment as to which user is using the opening device, such as providing a user switching button or providing a fingerprint authentication unit on the opening device.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, although chemical | medical agent information was previously input into the opening device, this invention is not this limitation. For example, the code may include date and time information, and the unsealing apparatus may determine whether the date and time zone coincide with the current date and time. In this way, a configuration may be adopted in which detailed drug information input is omitted and drug mistaking is suppressed based only on the date and the taking time zone.

  Moreover, in said embodiment, although several chemical | medical agents were each contained in all the packages, this invention is not this limitation. As long as a plurality of drugs are included in at least some of the packages, only a single drug may be included in some of the packages.

  Moreover, you may combine suitably each element which appeared in said embodiment and modification in the range which does not produce inconsistency.
