At present, pharmacies or hospital pharmacies all adopt the medicine storage cabinet to store medicines, each kind of medicine is correspondingly placed in a medicine containing grid of the medicine storage cabinet, doctors usually locate the medicine position through a medicine name label attached to the medicine storage cabinet, and the doctors need long-time use experience to quickly find the medicines in the corresponding medicine containing grids. It can be seen that the efficiency of locating the drug locations is primarily dependent on the degree of physician familiarity with the drug storage cabinet.

However, due to the fact that the medicines are various, the number of the medicine storage cases in the medicine storage cabinet is correspondingly large, if a doctor is not familiar with the arrangement of the medicine storage cabinet or needs to dispense more medicines, or for traditional Chinese medicines with abstract medicine names, the working strength of the doctor is increased by remembering the storage position of each medicine, and the medicine dispensing process is complicated and is prone to errors.

In view of this, in order to can fix a position the medicine in the medicine storage cabinet fast accurately, improve the efficiency of joining in marriage and getting it filled, this application provides a medicine position suggestion equipment for medicine storage cabinet. Referring to fig. 1, a schematic structural diagram of a medicine position prompting device for a medicine storage cabinet according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown, and as shown in the drawing, the medicine position prompting device includes an information conversion device 11 and a plurality of prompting devices 12.

The information converting means 11 includes a plurality of row power supply terminals and a plurality of column power supply terminals, and the information converting means 11 outputs a row control signal to the row power supply terminals thereof and a column control signal to the column power supply terminals thereof in accordance with the received medicine position information.

Wherein the medicine position information may be any form of information that can be received by the information conversion means and converted into information for controlling the corresponding power supply terminal. For example, the medicine position information may be coded information indicating positions of the medicine grids disposed by the medicines in corresponding rows and columns of the medicine storage cabinet according to the arrangement of the medicine grids in the medicine storage cabinet. Here, for clarity of description, the rows of the drug storage cabinets represent an arrangement parallel to the ground plane direction, and the columns of the drug storage cabinets represent an arrangement perpendicular to the ground plane direction. Specifically, the medicine position information may be represented by a position code (i, j), i.e. indicating that the medicine is located in the medicine placing grid of the ith row and the jth column of the medicine storage cabinet. In practical applications, the information conversion device is built in with the operation of converting the medicine position code information (i, j) into control signals of the corresponding row power supply terminal and column power supply terminal, which are set by logic circuit/program instructions. The program instruction can be obtained by compiling, for example, a Python program.

It is noted that, in general, drug storage cabinets can be classified into a loose type, a general type, and a compact type according to the number of kinds of drugs placed in one drawer. One drawer of the loose type medicine storage cabinet is provided with one medicine, one drawer of the ordinary type medicine storage cabinet is provided with two medicines, one drawer of the compact type medicine storage cabinet can be provided with three medicines, and the medicines can be separated through a partition plate and the like. The space in which only one kind of medicine is placed is referred to as a medicine placing grid in the present application. For example, for a loose type drug storage cabinet, the drug containing grid is a drawer of the drug storage cabinet, and for a common type drug storage cabinet and a compact type drug storage cabinet, the drug containing grid is a space formed by the drug storage cabinet drawer separated by a partition plate and the like, that is, each drawer of the common type drug storage cabinet comprises two drug containing grids, and each drawer of the compact type drug storage cabinet comprises three drug containing grids.

The prompter 12 corresponds to each medicine placing grid in the medicine storage cabinet, and each prompter is connected to different power supply lines formed by the row power supply terminals and the column power supply terminals in the information conversion device 11. Under the control of the row control signals and the column control signals, the corresponding prompters prompt the user of the medicine containing grids for containing the medicines.

Wherein, the power supply terminals of each prompter and the information conversion device can adopt a line connection mode. But in order to make the medicine position suggestion equipment adaptation of this application store up the medicine cabinet of different specification and dimension, set up the prompting device and adopt the form of hot plug to be connected with information conversion equipment for when increasing or reducing the medicine cabinet and put the medicine check, be convenient for add or remove corresponding prompting device.

In addition, each prompter arranged in the medicine position prompting equipment corresponds to a corresponding medicine placing grid in the medicine storage cabinet respectively, namely the prompters correspond to the medicine position information one by one. In practical application, the prompters with the same number are arranged according to the number of the medicine containing grids in the medicine storage cabinet, and one prompter is correspondingly arranged near one medicine containing grid so as to prompt the position of the medicine containing grid to a user. Under the control of a row control signal and a column control signal which are output by the information conversion device and based on the current medicine position information, power supply lines of corresponding rows and columns where the prompters are located are conducted, so that one prompter which is located in the row power supply line and one prompter which is located in the column power supply line are conducted, the prompter sends out prompt information, and a user can quickly position a medicine placing grid position indicated by the current medicine position information according to the prompt information. Therefore, the position relation among the prompters is set at each drawer on the medicine storage cabinet according to the position relation of the medicine placing grids for storing medicines in the drawer. Taking the case of storing a medicine in a drawer in the medicine storage cabinet, the prompter is positioned at the drawer baffle or the drawer. Taking the case that one drawer in the medicine storage cabinet comprises three medicine containing grids for storing three medicines as an example, wherein if the three medicine containing grids are in a III shape, three prompters positioned on a drawer baffle or beside the drawer are arranged according to the III shape; if the three medicine placing grids are in the shape of Chinese character 'pin', the three prompters positioned on the drawer baffle or beside the drawer are arranged according to the Chinese character 'pin'.

In order to enable the prompt message from the prompter to prompt the user to quickly locate the location of the medication, the prompter includes an optical prompter, an acoustic prompter, and/or a pattern prompter. Wherein examples of light cues include LED lights; examples of the sound prompter include a buzzer, a voice output module and the like; examples of pattern reminders include pattern display devices that present different patterns, such as smiley icons, directional icons, and the like. Take the example that the prompter includes base and LED lamp, wherein, the base is connected with the row power supply terminal and the row power supply terminal electricity of information conversion equipment, and the LED lamp is connected with the base electricity. The LED lamps can be arranged on the left side, the right side, the upper side, the lower side or the sealing position of the medicine containing grid, so long as a user can not confuse the positions of the medicine containing grids indicated by the LED lamps. In one example, the LED lamp is wired to the base. However, in the using process, a large number of LED lamps are caused due to the large number of drug containing grids, and the problem of LED lamp failure is easily caused.

In order to enhance the prompting effect on the user, in some embodiments, the prompting device includes not only an optical prompting device but also an acoustic prompting device, wherein on one hand, the optical prompting device prompts the medicine placing grid position through the lighting of the LED lamp, and on the other hand, the acoustic prompting device performs voice prompting according to voice information converted based on the medicine position information obtained by the remote processing device. For example, when the medicine name is a and the medicine position information is represented by (i, j), "a, ith row and jth column" is speech-output.

When the medicine position prompting device is used, in order to avoid the problem caused by circuit failure or unknown failure of the LED lamp, the automatic scanning operation can be executed when the medicine position prompting device is started or the scanning operation is executed when the triggering operation of a user is detected. The operation of detecting the starting-up and the triggering operation of detecting the user can be realized by a circuit.

In some examples, the information conversion apparatus includes a detection unit, which couples a power supply of the information conversion apparatus and a human-computer interaction device (e.g., a detection button, a touch screen, etc.), and outputs a trigger signal. The detection unit comprises at least one analog circuit such as a sampling circuit and a digital-to-analog conversion circuit, and a logic circuit such as a comparator, an OR gate and a trigger, when the power supply is started, the sampling circuit connected with the power supply outputs a voltage signal, and when the sampled voltage signal is higher than a reference voltage threshold value, the comparator outputs a trigger signal through the OR gate; when a user triggers a test button, a further sampling circuit connected to the output of the test button outputs a voltage signal, and when the sampled voltage signal is above a further reference voltage threshold, the comparator outputs a trigger signal via an or gate. In other words, the information conversion apparatus performs the scanning operation when any one of the operations is detected.

In other examples, the information conversion apparatus may further receive a detection instruction of the remote processing apparatus through the internet, the detection instruction being generated by a user operating the remote processing apparatus, for example. Correspondingly, the information conversion device runs a monitoring interface program for monitoring a network port, and executes the scanning operation when receiving a detection instruction.

The scan operation described in any of the above examples is performed by hardware circuitry in the information conversion apparatus based on the received trigger signal. In view of this, the information converting apparatus is also used to perform circuit detection for each prompter by outputting a row control signal and a column control signal.

In some examples, the information conversion apparatus includes a scan cell having a port for receiving the trigger signal, and each prompter is powered through each row power supply terminal and each column power supply terminal. In some specific examples, the scanning unit is a logic circuit composed of logic devices such as flip-flops, and outputs all 1 row control signals and all 1 column control signals when receiving a trigger signal, so that all row power supply terminals and all column power supply terminals are communicated with a power supply, and all prompters are powered on. In other specific examples, the scan unit includes a logic circuit composed of logic devices such as an adder, a register, and a flip-flop, and when receiving the trigger signal, the adder performs an operation of adding 1 to the initial count value according to the clock signal, and outputs a row control signal and a column control signal one by one through each row power supply terminal and each column power supply terminal by using the logic circuit such as the register and the flip-flop to traverse each prompter to energize the prompter one by one.

In other examples, the information conversion device is provided with a trigger interrupt mechanism, and when the trigger interrupt mechanism is monitored, the program instruction for scanning detection is called to execute the operation of scanning and detecting all prompters. The information conversion device can monitor the trigger interrupt by using the interface program instruction, and outputs a row control signal and a column control signal when the trigger interrupt is generated so as to control all the prompters to be electrified. The manner in which all of the prompts are controlled to be energized may be the same or similar to the previous examples and will not be described in detail herein.

If the user observes that all the prompters work, the state of the medicine position prompting device is normal, if the user observes that some of the prompters do not work, if the LEDs are not lightened, the failed prompters can be replaced in time or whether a line where the prompters are located is failed or not is checked, and maintenance is facilitated.

The utility model provides a medicine position suggestion equipment for storing up medicine cabinet converts the medicine positional information who receives to the row control signal and the row control signal who is used for controlling the work of prompting device through the information conversion device who contains a plurality of row power supply terminals and row power supply terminal for a prompting device that is in simultaneously on line circuit and the row line sends tip information, with the medicine check of putting that holds the medicine to the user suggestion, realize storing up the quick location's of medicine purpose in the medicine cabinet, improved the efficiency of joining in marriage and getting it filled. In addition, the medicine position prompting device can be integrated with the medicine storage cabinet into a whole during manufacturing, and can also be installed on the existing medicine storage cabinet to improve the existing medicine storage cabinet so that the medicine storage cabinet has a medicine position prompting function.

In addition, when a doctor dispenses and takes a medicine, the doctor generally operates according to a paper prescription or an electronic prescription provided by the doctor, so that in order to convert information contained in the prescription, such as names of various medicines, into medicine position information required by the information conversion device, the medicine position prompting device further comprises a remote processing device. The paper prescription can be input into the remote processing device in a manual input mode, a character recognition mode, a scanning recognition mode and the like, and the electronic prescription can be transmitted to the remote processing device through a prescription system used by a doctor or directly stored in the remote processing device.

However, the present application is not limited to a hospital setting, and for a pharmacy, a pharmaceutical agent preparation factory, etc., for example, a serviceman may input the information into a terminal device, which is used as the remote processing device and communicates with the information conversion device to map the name of a drug to be taken to the information of the position of each drug. The terminal device may be a computer terminal provided on a medicine storage cabinet, a computer terminal/server system located in a pharmacy shop/an agent manufacturing factory, or the like.

Referring to fig. 2, which is a schematic structural diagram of another embodiment of the medicine position prompting device for a medicine storage cabinet according to the present application, as shown in the figure, the medicine position prompting device includes a remote processing device 23, an information conversion device 21, and a plurality of prompting devices 22.

The remote processing device 23 is connected to the information conversion device 21 in a communication manner. The communication connection may be a wired connection. In order to avoid carrying out extra circuit transformation between medicine storage cabinet and the medicine position suggestion equipment, carry out wireless communication between remote processing unit and the information conversion equipment to realize saving space and the purpose of practicing thrift the cost. In practical applications, the remote processing device may be a hardware circuit including a processor, a memory, a communication module, and a software module that is executed by the hardware circuit through program instructions.

Referring to fig. 3, which is a schematic structural diagram of an information conversion apparatus in a medicine position prompting device according to an embodiment of the present application, as shown in the figure, the information conversion apparatus includes a processing unit 31, a row interface conversion unit 32 including a plurality of row power supply terminals, and a column interface conversion unit 33 including a plurality of column power supply terminals.

The processing unit 31 is communicatively connected to the above-mentioned remote processing device, and is configured to convert the received medicine position information into serial row control signals and serial column control signals. Wherein, the processing unit can be realized by a raspberry, a singlechip, a microcontroller and the like. Data exchange between the processing unit and the remote processing device may be accomplished via a bi-directional communication link.

In one example, the medicine position information is represented by (i, j), and the remote processing device transmits the medicine position information to the processing unit of the information conversion device in turn by transmission such as TCP/IP protocol. The processing unit processes the received medicine position information, converts the medicine position information into control signals for controlling a row interface conversion unit and a column interface conversion unit which are described below, is connected with the row interface conversion unit 32 and the column interface conversion unit 33 through a general purpose input/output interface (GPIO), and transmits the control signals to the row interface conversion unit 32 and the column interface conversion unit 33 in a serial mode.

In order to reduce the limitation of the number of pins between the processing unit and each interface conversion unit (32,33) on the number of prompters which can be controlled by corresponding control signals, the processing unit converts the medicine position information into serial row control signals and serial column control signals in a coding mode and outputs the serial row control signals and the serial column control signals.

The row interface conversion unit 32 converts the received serial row control signals into parallel row control signals. Wherein each signal line in the parallel row control signals is connected with a row power supply terminal. In some embodiments, a serial row control signal transmitted by the processing unit forms a plurality of parallel row control signals under the action of the row interface conversion unit. For example, when one or some of the prompters are selected to work, only the row control signal corresponding to the selected prompter in the parallel row control signals is an active signal, and the other row control signals are all inactive signals, so that the prompters which are not in the corresponding row cannot form a power supply loop by means of the row control signals. For example, the row interface conversion unit may convert one serial row control signal into four parallel row control signals to be output, and the four parallel row control signals to be output are connected to the four row power supply terminals { Ter1, Ter 2, Ter3, Ter 4} of the information conversion apparatus, respectively, to control the four row power supply lines. When the serial row control signal is 0001 and is converted into a parallel row control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four row power supply terminals correspondingly output {1,0,0,0}, and thus only Ter1 of the four row power supply terminals outputs an active signal. When the serial row control signal is 0101 and is converted into a parallel row control signal, taking an active signal at a high level (indicated by 1) and an inactive signal at a low level (indicated by 0) as an example, the four row power supply terminals output {1,0,1,0} correspondingly, and thus, Ter1 and Ter3 output active signals from the four row power supply terminals.

The parallel row control signals output based on the above example are used to control the respective controlled circuits to provide power to the respective prompter.

Specifically, the row interface conversion unit may include at least one first controlled circuit, where the first controlled circuit includes a first converter converting serial to parallel and a plurality of first switch circuits, and each output terminal of the first converter is connected to each row power supply terminal through each first switch circuit. The first converter is used for converting the serial row control signals output by the processing unit into a plurality of parallel electric signals for respectively controlling the row power supply lines. In addition, in order to prevent an excessive current from passing through the first converter and the processing unit described above, a first switch circuit is provided as a control switch to control the output of the electric signal. In addition, in order to be capable of adapting to medicine storage cabinets with different specifications and sizes, the row interface conversion unit is provided with a plurality of first controlled circuits.

Referring to fig. 4, which is a schematic circuit diagram of a row interface conversion unit in the medicine position prompting device of the present application in an embodiment, as shown in the figure, the row interface conversion unit includes a plurality of first controlled circuits 41, each of the first controlled circuits includes an eight-bit serial-to-parallel shift register 411, and a plurality of triodes 412 corresponding to output terminals of the shift register and serving as switch circuits. The shift registers in the plurality of first controlled circuits are cascaded.

The SER input end of the first-stage shift register is connected with the processing unit through a GPIO interface and used for receiving serial row control signals output by the processing unit, the eight output ends are respectively connected to a row power supply terminal of the information conversion device through a resistor and a triode, the QH end of the first-stage shift register is connected with the SER input end of the next-stage shift register, and the like. Wherein, according to the quantity of the shift register output terminal, 8 row power supply terminals are set as a group of output terminals. In this example, if the row interface conversion unit includes three first controlled circuits, 24 electrical signals of 3 × 8 can be output via the eight-bit shift register, and accordingly, 24 columns of drug storage cabinets can be controlled at most. The medicine storage cabinets in other columns are analogized in the same way.

The column interface conversion unit 33 converts the received serial column control signals into parallel column control signals. Wherein each signal line in the parallel column control signals is connected to a column power supply terminal. In some embodiments, a serial column control signal transmitted by the processing unit forms a plurality of column control signals in parallel under the action of the column interface conversion unit, for example, when one/some of the prompters are selected to work, only the column control signal corresponding to the selected prompter in the plurality of column control signals in parallel is an active signal, and the other column control signals are inactive signals, so that the prompters not in the corresponding column cannot form a power supply loop by virtue of the column control signals. For example, the column interface converting unit may convert one serial column control signal into four parallel column control signals to be output, and the four parallel column control signals to be output are connected to the four column power supply terminals { Ter1, Ter 2, Ter3, Ter 4} of the information converting apparatus, respectively, to control the four column power supply lines. When the serial column control signal is 0001 and is converted into the parallel column control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four column power supply terminals correspondingly output {1,0,0,0}, so that only Ter1 of the four column power supply terminals outputs an active signal. When the serial column control signal is 0101 and is converted into the parallel column control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four column power supply terminals output {1,0,1,0} correspondingly, and thus, Ter1 and Ter3 among the four column power supply terminals output active signals.

The parallel column control signals output based on the above example are used to control the respective controlled circuits to provide power to the respective prompter.

Specifically, the column interface converting unit may include a second controlled circuit including a second converter that converts serial to parallel and a plurality of second switch circuits, and the output terminals of the second converter are connected to the column power supply terminals through the second switch circuits, respectively. The second converter is used for converting the serial column control signals output by the processing unit into a plurality of parallel electric signals for respectively controlling the column power supply lines. In addition, in order to prevent an excessive current from passing through the second converter and the processing unit described above, a second switching circuit is provided as a control switch to control the output of the electric signal.

Specific implementation manners of the medicine position prompting device 72 are shown in fig. 1 to fig. 6 and corresponding descriptions thereof, and are not described herein again.

The utility model provides a medicine position reminder system for storing up medicine cabinet, convert medicine information into the medicine positional information who is used for medicine position reminder equipment through remote processing device, and medicine position reminder equipment obtains row control signal and the row control signal who is used for controlling the work of prompting device based on the medicine positional information that receives, make a prompting device that is in simultaneously on row circuit and row circuit send tip information, with the medicine check of putting that holds the medicine to the user suggestion, the purpose of medicine quick positioning in the realization storage medicine cabinet, the efficiency of joining in marriage the marriage and get it filled has been improved.

The application also provides a medicine position prompting method applied by the medicine position prompting device of the medicine storage cabinet, and the method can be executed by the medicine position prompting device. Referring to fig. 8, a flowchart illustrating a method for prompting a medicine position by using a medicine position prompting device for a medicine storage cabinet according to the present application is shown, where as shown in the figure, the method for prompting a medicine position includes steps S810 and S820.

In step S810, the received medicine position information is converted into row control signals and column control signals.

The conversion from the medicine position information to the row control signal and the column control signal can be realized through the information conversion device. The information conversion apparatus includes a plurality of row power supply terminals and a plurality of column power supply terminals, and outputs a row control signal to the row power supply terminals and a column control signal to the column power supply terminals according to the received medicine position information.

The medicine position information may be any form of information that can be received by the information conversion means and converted into information for controlling the corresponding power supply terminal. For example, the medicine position information may be coded information indicating positions of the medicine grids disposed by the medicines in corresponding rows and columns of the medicine storage cabinet according to the arrangement of the medicine grids in the medicine storage cabinet. Here, for clarity of description, the rows of the drug storage cabinets represent an arrangement parallel to the ground plane direction, and the columns of the drug storage cabinets represent an arrangement perpendicular to the ground plane direction. Specifically, the medicine position information may be represented by a position code (i, j), i.e. indicating that the medicine is located in the medicine placing grid of the ith row and the jth column of the medicine storage cabinet. In practical applications, the information conversion device is built in with the operation of converting the medicine position code information (i, j) into control signals of the corresponding row power supply terminal and column power supply terminal, which are set by logic circuit/program instructions. The program instruction can be obtained by compiling, for example, a Python program.

In step S820, a prompter disposed on the medicine storage cabinet is controlled to work based on the row control signal and the column control signal, so as to prompt a user about a medicine placing grid for containing medicine.

The prompters correspond to the medicine placing grids in the medicine storage cabinet, and each prompter is connected to different power supply circuits formed by the row power supply terminals and the column power supply terminals in the information conversion device. Under the control of the row control signals and the column control signals, the corresponding prompters prompt the user of the medicine containing grids for containing the medicines.

In order to enable the prompt information sent by the prompter to prompt the user to quickly locate the position of the medicine, the mode of prompting the user for the medicine containing grid comprises a visual display prompt and/or a voice prompt. For example, visual display cues may be implemented by light cues and/or pattern cues, and voice cues may be implemented by acoustic cues. Wherein examples of light cues include LED lights; examples of the sound prompter include a buzzer, a voice output module and the like; examples of pattern reminders include pattern display devices that present different patterns, such as smiley icons, directional icons, and the like. Take the example that the prompter includes base and LED lamp, wherein, the base is connected with the row power supply terminal and the row power supply terminal electricity of information conversion equipment, and the LED lamp is connected with the base electricity. The LED lamps can be arranged on the left side, the right side, the upper side, the lower side or the sealing position of the medicine containing grid, so long as a user can not confuse the positions of the medicine containing grids indicated by the LED lamps. In one example, the LED lamp is wired to the base. However, in the using process, a large number of LED lamps are caused due to the large number of drug containing grids, and the problem of LED lamp failure is easily caused.

In order to avoid the problem caused by circuit failure or unknown failure of the LED lamp, the medicine position prompting method for the medicine storage cabinet further comprises the step of carrying out circuit detection on each prompter by outputting a row control signal and a column control signal. The method may be configured to execute an automatic scanning operation when a medicine position prompting device executing the medicine position prompting method is powered on, or execute the scanning operation when a trigger operation of a user is detected. The operation of detecting the starting-up and the triggering operation of detecting the user can be realized by a circuit.

In addition, when a doctor dispenses and takes a medicine, the doctor generally operates according to a paper prescription or an electronic prescription provided by the doctor, so that in order to convert information contained in the prescription, such as names of various medicines, into medicine position information required by the information conversion device, the medicine position prompting method for the medicine storage cabinet further comprises the step of converting the medicine information into the medicine position information corresponding to the medicine storage cabinet according to the corresponding relation between the medicine information and the medicine placing grids in the medicine storage cabinet. The above conversion operation may be implemented by a remote processing device. In order to enable the medicine information in the prescription to correspond to the positions of the medicine containing grids where the prompter is located one by one, the remote processing device stores the corresponding relationship between the medicine information and the medicine containing grids of the medicine storage cabinet.

The paper prescription can be input into the remote processing device in a manual input mode, a character recognition mode, a scanning recognition mode and the like, and the electronic prescription can be transmitted to the remote processing device through a prescription system used by a doctor or directly stored in the remote processing device. However, the present application is not limited to a hospital setting, and for a pharmacy, a pharmaceutical agent preparation factory, etc., for example, a serviceman may input the information into a terminal device, which is used as the remote processing device and communicates with the information conversion device to map the name of a drug to be taken to the information of the position of each drug. The terminal device may be a computer terminal provided on a medicine storage cabinet, a computer terminal/server system located in a pharmacy shop/an agent manufacturing factory, or the like.

Referring to fig. 9, which is a flowchart illustrating a method for prompting a medicine position by using the medicine position prompting device for a medicine storage cabinet according to the present application, as shown in the figure, step S810 further includes step S8101 and step S8102.

In step S8101, the received medicine position information is converted into a serial row control signal and a serial column control signal.

Wherein, the conversion of the medicine position information to serial row control signals and serial column control signals can be realized through the processing unit. The processing unit is in communication connection with the remote processing device and is used for converting the received medicine position information into serial row control signals and serial column control signals. Wherein, the processing unit can be realized by a raspberry, a singlechip, a microcontroller and the like. Data exchange between the processing unit and the remote processing device may be accomplished via a bi-directional communication link.

In one example, the medicine position information is represented by (i, j), and the remote processing device transmits the medicine position information to the processing unit of the information conversion device in turn by transmission such as TCP/IP protocol. The processing unit processes the received medicine position information, converts the medicine position information into a serial row control signal and a serial column control signal, and outputs the serial row control signal and the serial column control signal.

In step S8102, serial row control signals are converted into parallel row control signals, and serial column control signals are converted into parallel column control signals. Then, in step S820, the prompter is controlled to operate based on the parallel row control signal and the parallel column control signal to prompt the user for the drug containing grid.

Wherein serial row/column control signals can be converted into parallel row/column control signals by the row interface conversion unit and the column interface conversion unit, respectively.

The row interface conversion unit converts the received serial row control signals into parallel row control signals. Wherein each signal line in the parallel row control signals is connected with a row power supply terminal. In some embodiments, a serial row control signal transmitted by the processing unit forms a plurality of parallel row control signals under the action of the row interface conversion unit. For example, when one or some of the prompters are selected to work, only the row control signal corresponding to the selected prompter in the parallel row control signals is an active signal, and the other row control signals are all inactive signals, so that the prompters which are not in the corresponding row cannot form a power supply loop by means of the row control signals. For example, the row interface conversion unit may convert one serial row control signal into four parallel row control signals to be output, and the four parallel row control signals to be output are connected to the four row power supply terminals { Ter1, Ter 2, Ter3, Ter 4} of the information conversion apparatus, respectively, to control the four row power supply lines. When the serial row control signal is 0001 and is converted into a parallel row control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four row power supply terminals correspondingly output {1,0,0,0}, and thus only Ter1 of the four row power supply terminals outputs an active signal. When the serial row control signal is 0101 and is converted into a parallel row control signal, taking an active signal at a high level (indicated by 1) and an inactive signal at a low level (indicated by 0) as an example, the four row power supply terminals output {1,0,1,0} correspondingly, and thus, Ter1 and Ter3 output active signals from the four row power supply terminals.

The column interface conversion unit converts the received serial column control signals into parallel column control signals. Wherein each signal line in the parallel column control signals is connected to a column power supply terminal. In some embodiments, a serial column control signal transmitted by the processing unit forms a plurality of column control signals in parallel under the action of the column interface conversion unit, for example, when one/some of the prompters are selected to work, only the column control signal corresponding to the selected prompter in the plurality of column control signals in parallel is an active signal, and the other column control signals are inactive signals, so that the prompters not in the corresponding column cannot form a power supply loop by virtue of the column control signals. For example, the column interface converting unit may convert one serial column control signal into four parallel column control signals to be output, and the four parallel column control signals to be output are connected to the four column power supply terminals { Ter1, Ter 2, Ter3, Ter 4} of the information converting apparatus, respectively, to control the four column power supply lines. When the serial column control signal is 0001 and is converted into the parallel column control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four column power supply terminals correspondingly output {1,0,0,0}, so that only Ter1 of the four column power supply terminals outputs an active signal. When the serial column control signal is 0101 and is converted into the parallel column control signal, taking the high level as an active signal (indicated by 1) and the low level as an inactive signal (indicated by 0) as an example, the four column power supply terminals output {1,0,1,0} correspondingly, and thus, Ter1 and Ter3 among the four column power supply terminals output active signals.

In order to accommodate common drug storage cabinets of various specifications and to facilitate expansion of the drug storage cabinets, in some embodiments, the row interface unit in the drug position reminder device may include fifteen sets of first controlled circuits, and the column interface unit may include one set of second controlled circuits and twenty sets of expansion circuits, wherein each of the first controlled circuits and the second controlled circuits employs eight-bit registers. In this case, the drug position reminder device can support up to 8 × 15 × 8 drug types, i.e., a drug storage cabinet having up to 960 drug placement grids can be satisfied. In addition, can set up the LED lamp on storing up medicine cabinet and come to be used as the suggestion effect, under this condition, line interface conversion unit and the circuit board that row interface conversion unit place and LED lamp place can adopt the form of hot plug to be connected in medicine position suggestion equipment for when adding new storage medicine cabinet or removing old storage medicine cabinet, hot plug on can directly realizing the circuit board, be convenient for expand original storage medicine cabinet. The LED lamp and the base installed with the LED lamp can also be connected in a hot plug mode, and the fault LED lamp is convenient to replace.
