2) The sensor is used to sense whether the person taking the medicine takes out the medicine, and transmits the corresponding information to the processor. Different types of sensors have different ways of sensing whether the person taking the medicine takes the medicine. For details, see the following detailed description.

3) A processor, also called a microprocessor, has the ability to perform basic computer logic operations including mathematics, logic, control, and input and output. The processor and the data memory, input device, output device, and power supply module described later can be combined with a single-chip microcomputer (controller/MCU) or SoC or embedded system, etc.

4) The input device plays a role in controlling the medicine reminder system. The following functions related to the input device can be realized on the side of the intelligent medicine reminder device, can also be realized in the terminal equipment of the medicine reminder, and can also be connected to the medicine terminal equipment through the third-party interface. Input device capabilities include, but are not limited to:

A. Set the reminder method, reminder frequency, volume, brightness, etc. mentioned in taking medicine;

B. Input and set the guidance data for taking medicine, such as the type of medicine to be taken, name, unit weight/volume, single dose, number and time of taking medicine in a single day, time when medicine can be taken, reminder start, etc.;

C. The user closes the reminder and prompt, and the user indicates that the wrong medication has been corrected.

D. Enter the personal information of the person taking the medicine;

E. Other system-related settings, such as the brightness of the display screen, etc.

5) Output device functions include but are not limited to:

7) The power supply module supplies power to the entire intelligent medication reminder system. The power supply method can include external power supply, dry battery, rechargeable battery, capacitor and so on. The power supply module is a virtual collection of all power supply systems. Since the medicine reminder device is movable, each component of the intelligent medicine reminder device may have an independent power supply.

In the embodiment of the present invention, when detecting whether the current time point is within the preset time period for taking medicine, it may be executed by the server, or may be executed by an intelligent reminder device for taking medicine. The preset time period for taking medicine is input by the input device and recorded in the medicine taking guidance data. It is an empirical value, which can be set by the doctor, nursing staff or family members of the person taking the medicine, and can also be the medicine taken by the medicine. Guide the determined time period for taking the medicine. It should be noted that when detecting whether the current time point is within the preset time period for taking medicine, the detection is a real-time detection process, instead of starting the detection function when the preset time period for taking medicine is about to be reached.

Different diseases and medicines have different guidance data for taking medicine, which leads to differences in the time period and frequency of taking medicine. Exemplarily, a certain medicine needs to be taken four times a day, respectively at breakfast time, lunch time, dinner time and before going to bed, and the preset time periods correspond to 7:00AM, 12:00PM, 6:00PM, and 11:00PM respectively , of course, the above preset time period for taking medicine can be adjusted according to the living habits of different people or different groups of people. Hours, then 7:00AM is the time to take the medicine on time, and 6:00AM to 8:00AM are acceptable time periods, that is, the preset time period for taking medicine is from 6:00AM to 8:00AM.

102. If the current time point falls within the preset medicine taking time period, determine whether the medicine that should be taken within the preset medicine taking time period is taken out from the intelligent medicine taking reminder device.

The medicine described in the embodiment of the present invention is stored in the intelligent reminder device for taking medicine. The frame diagram of the intelligent reminder device for taking medicine is shown in FIG. To store medicine, each medicine grid can be flexibly disassembled from the base, and each medicine grid corresponds to a sensor, which can sense whether the person taking the medicine takes out the medicine through the sensor, and each medicine grid contains an LED light source (not shown in the figure). When it is determined that the medicine is taken out from the intelligent medicine reminder device, it can be determined that the medicine is taken out. It should be noted that the user who takes the medicine operates on the medicine (that is, takes out the medicine), which is equivalent to taking the medicine, and there is still A scenario where the person taking the medicine may take out the medicine but not take it, this situation is not discussed in this article. In addition, the medicine compartment is opened from the base, or the entire intelligent medicine reminder device is opened. Or if it is detected that the medicine is taken out by any sensor, it is considered that the medicine is taken out. 103. If it is determined that the medicine has not been taken out, and the current time point is equal to the preset reminder time point, perform a medicine taking reminder.

Once it is determined that the medicine has not been taken out within the preset time period and the current time point just reaches the preset reminder time point, the processor will transmit the message that the medicine has not been taken out to the output device, and the output device will take it at the preset reminder time point Medicine reminder, so that the person taking the medicine can take the medicine in time according to the medicine taking reminder. The medicine taking reminder described in the embodiment of the present invention includes but is not limited to LED light source, display screen display, buzzer sound, vibration, music, human voice and so on.

104. If it is determined that the medicine has not been taken out and the preset reminder time point has not yet arrived, continuously detect whether the medicine that should be taken within the preset medicine taking time period in the intelligent medicine taking reminder device is taken out.

105. If it is determined that the medicine has been taken out, judge whether the medicine is taken out correctly according to the medication guidance data, and whether it is the first time to take out the medicine within the preset time period for taking the medicine.

A single dose may be stored in a medicine compartment, including different doses of multiple medicines, or only one type of medicine may be stored in a medicine compartment, which is not limited in the specific embodiment of the present invention.

The medication guidance data includes not only the types and quantities of different medicines contained in the medicine, but also the time when the medicine is taken out. Taking medicine is a correct medicine taking behavior.

In addition, the situation that the medicine is withdrawn multiple times should also be considered, for example, more than two wrong medicine taking behaviors are performed within the preset time period of taking the medicine. In order to solve the above problems this time, it is also necessary to judge whether it is the first time for the person taking the medicine to take out the medicine within the preset time period of taking the medicine, so as to prevent the situation of taking more medicine. Unnecessary loss.

106. When it is confirmed that the medicine is taken out correctly, confirm that the medicine is taken correctly once.

107. When it is determined that the medicine is taken out by mistake, a prompt for taking the medicine by mistake is issued.

When the medicine is taken out by mistake, it means that taking the medicine this time is an act of wrongly taking the medicine. Therefore, it is necessary to issue a reminder of taking the medicine by mistake, so that the user can correct the wrong medicine taking in time.

108. If no medicine is taken within the preset time period for taking medicine, it is determined that one missed medicine is taken.

Optionally, after it is determined that the wrongly taken medicine or the missed medicine is taken, in order to prevent unnecessary losses, the medication guidance data can be corrected, so that the wrongly taken medicine or the missed medicine can be compensated according to the corrected medicine guidance data. Generally, if a drug user can correct the error after receiving the reminder of taking the wrong medicine or missing the medicine, it will happen in a short period of time, so wait for a short time for the system to detect whether the error is corrected, for example, by detecting the remaining dose in the smart medicine reminder device Whether it is correct, or the user manually presses a button on the medicine box to indicate that it has been adjusted to the correct dosage. When taking medicine by mistake or missing medicine, if the medicine guidance data thinks that it can be compensated by adjusting the dosage of medicine in the future, the future dosage of medicine can be adjusted, and the adjustment result can be written into the medicine guidance data.

The method for reminding taking medicine provided by the embodiment of the present invention detects whether the current time point falls within the preset time period of taking medicine; if the current time point falls within the preset time period of taking medicine, then determine the smart medicine Whether the medicine that should be taken within the preset time period of taking medicine in the reminding device is taken out; if it is determined that the medicine has not been taken out, and the current time point is equal to the preset reminding time point, then the reminder for taking medicine is carried out; if it is determined The medicine has not been taken out, and the preset reminder time point has not yet arrived, then continuously detect whether the medicine that should be taken within the preset medicine taking time period in the intelligent medicine taking reminder device is taken out; if it is determined that the medicine is taken out, then According to the medication guidance data, it is judged whether the medicine is taken out correctly, and it is judged whether it is the first time to take out the medicine within the preset time period of taking the medicine; when it is confirmed that the medicine is taken out correctly, it is confirmed that the medicine is taken correctly; A reminder for taking medicine by mistake; if no medicine is taken within the preset time period for taking medicine, it is determined that one missed medicine is taken. So that the person taking the medicine can take the medicine correctly and timely within the time period of taking the medicine, so as to improve the compliance of taking the medicine, ensure the best medical effect and reduce unnecessary economic losses.

When step 102 is performed to determine whether the medicine that should be taken within the preset medicine taking time period in the intelligent medicine taking reminder device is taken out, it is performed by the sensor in Figure 2, which can be implemented in the following ways, but not limited to:
