Next, an administration management method using the administration management system according to the present invention will be described.

5, when the canister 200 is seated in the seat 15 of the smart dispenser station, the weight of the canister 200, which is seated on the seat 15 by the weight sensor, (S100). That is, the weight of the canister 200 is measured together with whether the canister 200 is seated by the weight sensor. At this time, when the canister 200 is separated from the canister 200 by the timer 59, (Measurement step).

Then, it is determined whether or not the medicine dispenser 200 has been restored within the set time (S110). Here, the set time means a period during which the user should take the medicine, and the set time may be the inputted information .

If the medicine bottle 200 is restored within the set time, a weight comparison step of comparing the weight of the conventional medicine bottle 200 stored in advance through the controller 51 with the weight measured in the measuring step is performed (S120).

And, if the compared weight, for example, the weight of the reduced canister 200, corresponds to the weight of the prescribed dosing amount, the time of the preceding measuring step and the amount of increase / decrease of the weight of the canister 200 are stored (S140), the timer 59 is reset and the time until separation of the next canister 200 is checked (S150)

The data outputting step may include outputting data values stored in the data storing step. Here, the outputting may be any of outputting sound through the speaker of the output module 55, flicker of light, or display through a display screen.

Followed by a data transmission step in which the finally output data value is transmitted to the main server or an external device.

The control unit 51 determines whether the cradle 200 is first seated in the seating unit 15 or not in step S130 if the cradle 200 is not seated in the set time in step S130. However, if resetting is required after a set time (dosing period), it is possible to reset the dosing period and dose after confirming whether or not to reset (S132)

6, the control unit 51 can start initial setting (S131). If the initial setting is started, the control unit 51 can start the initial setting The weight of the medicine bottle 200 seated on the part 15 is measured and stored (S134). Then, after the medicine corresponding to the one recovery capacity is removed from the medicine container 200, the weight of the medicine container 200 is measured and stored (S135)

In this case, the weight of the drug corresponding to the one recovery capacity can be derived by comparing the measured weights of the two measurement steps. By placing the drug corresponding to the one recovery capacity in the seating portion 15 with water, You can also derive the weight.

That is, the initial setting is a primary measurement step in which the entire weight of the can 200 is measured by a weight sensor provided under the seat 15 of the smart can dispenser station, After the secondary measurement step in which the weight of the removed state is measured, a quantitative calculation step is performed in which the dose amount is calculated from the weight difference between the primary measurement step and the secondary measurement step.

When the data including the dosing amount and the dosing period are input (S136), an initial value transferring step is performed, which is transmitted to the main server or the external device. (S137)

Hereinafter, the data transmitted to the main server or the external device may be additionally provided with information such as a dose period, kind of medicine, presence or absence of alarm, etc., and this information may be stored together in the smart dispenser station.

On the other hand, if the reduced weight measured in the previous weight comparison step is different from the weight of the prescribed dose, as shown in FIG. 7, the following process is performed.

First, in step S170, a step of confirming whether the weight of the comparison weight is a weight corresponding to a multiple of the dosing weight is followed by step S170. In step S171, If the dose is a multiple of the dosing weight, the user can check that the drug is taken out from the medicine bottle 200 in a larger amount than the dosing dose in advance.

Then, after the usable period of medicine discharged through the control unit 51, the main server or the first terminal is calculated (S172), the output is outputted through the output module 55 of the smart call station (Outgoing notification step). At the same time, if data for the outgoing period is inputted, the control unit transmits the data to the main server or the first terminal (S173)

On the other hand, if the weight measured in the drainage checking step does not correspond to a multiple of the dosing amount, a reset confirmation step of outputting the increase / decrease amount through the output module 55 (S175) is followed by a reset confirmation step. If the measured weight does not correspond to a multiple of the dose amount, the user can take out an abnormal amount of medicine from the medicine bottle 200 or put the other kind of medicine bottle 200 in the seating part 15 So that the reset can be done if necessary.

Since the smart cash dispenser station is provided with a plurality of seating portions 15, the weight of any one of the plurality of mast receptacles 200 seated on the seating portion 15 may be increased or decreased, The control unit 51 of the smart cash dispenser station stores the information of the cash dispenser 200 together with the increased and decreased amount of the weight of the cash dispenser 200 and the time of the previous measuring step, Or to an external device such as a first terminal.

Meanwhile, when the time corresponding to the dosing period has elapsed without changing the weight of the medicine dispenser 200 placed on the seating part 15, the control unit 51 outputs an alarm from the output module 55 of the smart dispenser station (Alarm output step). This prevents the user from forgetting to take the medicine. In addition, the controller 51 may cause the second terminal to generate an alarm through the first terminal or the main server as well as the output module 55 of the smart call station.

Of course, the main server may transmit not only the second terminal but also the stored data to the input external device, for example, an external guardian or a terminal of a designated hospital through the communication module 53.
