Optionally, in the embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent dual display device may determine whether the third vaccine information matches the second vaccine information, so as to determine whether the second vaccine to be vaccinated is consistent with the third vaccine, and further determine whether to use the current third vaccine.
If the third vaccine information is matched with the second vaccine information, the second vaccine to be inoculated is consistent with the third vaccine, and the third vaccine can be normally used, so that the operation of vaccination execution can be prompted in the first display screen of the intelligent dual-display device, and the traceability information of the third vaccine is displayed in the second display screen of the intelligent dual-display device. Wherein, provide medical personnel to carry out the vaccination operation to the first display screen of two apparent equipment of intelligence, can provide the user to look over the information of tracing to the source to the second display screen of two apparent equipment of intelligence.
If the third vaccine information is not matched with the second vaccine information, the fact that the second vaccine to be inoculated is inconsistent with the third vaccine is indicated, the third vaccine cannot be normally used, and therefore the operation of vaccine replacement can be prompted to be executed in the first display screen of the intelligent dual-display device.
As for the traceability information of the third vaccine, in the embodiment of the present invention, a part of the traceability information of the third vaccine may be stored in the intelligent terminal, a part of the traceability information of the third vaccine may be stored in the intelligent refrigerator, and the remaining part of the traceability information of the third vaccine may be stored in the intelligent dual display device, so that the traceability information of the third vaccine may be obtained from the intelligent terminal, the intelligent refrigerator, and the intelligent dual display device, and the traceability information of the third vaccine may be displayed on the second display screen of the intelligent dual display device.
For example, traceability information for the third vaccine includes: vaccine information, transportation information, storage information and inoculation information can be obtained from intelligent terminal vaccine information, transportation information and the like, can obtain storage information from the intelligent refrigerator, can obtain inoculation information from the intelligent dual-display equipment, thereby obtaining the traceability information of the third vaccine and showing the traceability information of the third vaccine in the second display screen of the intelligent dual-display equipment.
