Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a prescription reservation receiving system which can receive a prescription at a hospital or the like and then receive a prescription at a desired dispensing pharmacy.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in hospitals, prescriptions are issued based on doctor's charts and information inputted by computer based on the charts, and pharmacies are dispensed according to the prescriptions. The patient can receive the prepared medicine in exchange for a voucher given after the consultation. However, because of the shortage of pharmacists relative to the number of patients, it takes a long time for patients to receive the drug. For this reason, in recent years, a system (out-of-hospital prescription) in which a patient is dispensed at a dispensing pharmacy designated by the patient has been performed in conjunction with a request for division of medicine. In this system, a prescription is transmitted by fax to a dispensing pharmacy designated by a hospital, and a patient exchanges vouchers and drugs at the dispensing pharmacy.

[0003]

However, even with the above system, the following problems have not been solved. That is, there is a case where a desired medicine cannot be received even if a person goes to a pharmacy for a reason such as out of stock or a regular holiday. For this reason, a troublesome situation for the patient occurs, for example, it is necessary to make a telephone call for confirmation in advance. In addition, when the store is crowded, it takes some time to receive the medicine.

In the above system, when a dispensing pharmacy is specified, the patient himself must select from a list of out-of-hospital prescription handling pharmacies prepared in the hospital, and which dispensing pharmacy is most accessible to the patient. Is difficult to judge.

[0005] In view of the above problems, an object of the present invention is to provide a prescription reservation accepting system which enables smooth selection of a dispensing pharmacy and receipt of a medicine.

[0006]

According to the present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, a prescription reservation receiving system includes a reading means for reading prescription information from a card, a storage means for storing dispensing pharmacy information, Transmitting means for transmitting prescription information to the pharmacy, and calling the corresponding dispensing pharmacy information from the storage means based on the prescription information read by the reading means, and causing the transmitting means to transmit the prescription information to the corresponding dispensing pharmacy. And a control means.

[0007] With this configuration, it is possible to automatically transmit the prescription information to the dispensing pharmacy simply by reading the prescription information written on the card by the reading means. Therefore, in the dispensing pharmacy, dispensing can be performed based on the prescription information transmitted in advance, and it is possible to promptly respond to the receipt.

[0008] Further, there is provided display means for displaying the dispensing pharmacy information, and the dispensing pharmacy information stored in the storage means is:
It shall be hierarchical, and shall include place name selection information having a dispensing pharmacy name at the bottom, and the dispensing pharmacy selection means displays the place name selection information on the display means from the top, and any one is selected. If the dispensing pharmacy name is displayed by switching the display to the lower side and the dispensing pharmacy can be selected based on the display, it is preferable in that the desired dispensing pharmacy can be easily selected.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 1 and 2 show a prescription reservation receiving apparatus. This prescription reservation accepting device generally includes an input / output device 1, a storage device 2, and a control device 3 (see FIG. 3). FIG. 3 shows a prescription reservation receiving system according to the present invention. The prescription reservation receiving system is configured so that data can be transmitted and received between a modem 5c of the prescription reservation receiving device and a terminal C provided at each dispensing pharmacy via a modem B. I have.

The display panel 4 is, as shown in FIG.
A central display unit 4a provided on the upper part of the apparatus main body 9 and displaying operation guidance, a map, a place name, and the like, and an operation key 10a (a wide area map key 2 to be described later) located around the central display unit 4a.
7, the narrow area map key 28, the arrow key 29, and the like. )
Is displayed on the display section 4b. The display panel 4 includes a touch panel 10 as shown in FIG. The touch panel 10 is configured not only by the operation keys 10a but also by a displayed map or a place name itself. When the touch panel 10 is operated, the input signal is input from the touch panel controller 11 to the control device 3 via the interfaces 12 and 13. Further, a control signal from the control device 3 is input from the touch panel controller 11 to the display controller 15 via the interfaces 12 and 13 and the video signal processing unit 14, and the X and Y driver circuits 16a and 16b are driven, whereby A predetermined display is performed on the display panel 4. For example, when a predetermined position on the map is pressed with a finger, a predetermined region including the pressed portion is enlarged and displayed on the display panel 4.

As shown in FIG. 2, the reading device 5a, the copying device 5b, and the modem 5c are provided inside the main body 9 of the apparatus. The reading device 5a is inserted from an IC card receiving port 18 formed in an upper part of the front surface of the apparatus main body 9, and is connected to the first transport path 1a.
9 reads out prescription information (including drug information to be dispensed and information on a reserved person, etc.) written into the IC card 20 supplied through the IC card 9. The modem 5c transmits the read prescription information to the designated dispensing pharmacy. The copying device 5b prints dispensing pharmacy information (pharmacy guidance, transportation to the pharmacy, fee, target, appearance, etc.) on the surface of the information providing paper 17a supplied via the second transport path 21,
A prescription reservation certificate 17b is created. The IC card 20
Is collected in an internal IC card collection room 20a, and the information providing paper 17a and the prescription reservation certificate 17b are discharged from a receiving port 22 provided below the IC card receiving port 18. An advertisement for a hospital, a pharmacy, or the like may be printed on the back surface of the information providing paper 17a.

The reservation person detecting sensor 6 is provided above the apparatus main body 9 and detects whether there is a reservation person on the front part of the apparatus main body 9. Of course, this reservation person detection sensor 6
It may be provided directly on the front surface of the device body 9. The reception detection sensor 7 is provided in the middle of the first transport path 19 through which the IC card 20 inserted from the IC card receiving port 18 is transported, and reads the presence or absence of the passing IC card 20. The information providing paper error detecting sensor 8a and the prescription reservation certificate error detecting sensor 8b detect that the information providing paper 17a and the prescription reservation certificate 17b are jammed or short.

The storage device 2 mainly stores dispensing pharmacy information and drug information. The dispensing pharmacy information refers to a hierarchically stored map, a place name, a map from the current hospital to each registered dispensing pharmacy, a traffic route, a traffic time, a traffic fee, and the like. Further, the medicine information refers to information on medicines transmitted to and received from the dispensing pharmacy, for example, medicine history information, allergy information, medicine out-of-stock information and the like. Note that the storage device 2 also stores information such as an operation manual and an error message as operation error information.

The control device 3 calls out predetermined information from the storage device 2 based on an input signal from the input / output device 1. That is, dispensing pharmacy access information such as map information is called through the operation search device 23 based on an input signal from the touch panel 10 of the display panel 4. Further, based on the prescription information read by the reading device 5a, medicine information such as drug history information is called through the issuance reservation search device 24, and an operation manual, an error message, and the like are called from the operation error information.

The control device 3 performs a reception process, a dispensing pharmacy selection process, a service process, and a communication process as a prescription reception reservation process according to the flowchart of FIG. 4 (steps S1 to S4).

(Reception Processing) FIG. 5 shows a flowchart of the reception processing. The reception process refers to a process for reading the prescription information written in the IC card 20 and preparing for performing the subsequent processes smoothly.

In the reception process, first, it is determined whether or not a reservation person has been detected in step S11 based on whether or not an input signal has been received from the reservation person detection sensor 6. If no reservation person is detected, the process stands by. If a reservation person is detected, an IC card insertion display is performed on the display panel 4 in step S12. In this IC card insertion display, characters, pictures, photographs, and the like such as “Please insert an IC card from the IC card reception slot” are displayed on the display panel 4. At the same time, the location of the IC card receiving port 18 is indicated by an arrow or the like. in this case,
An LED or the like may be provided around the IC card receiving port 18, and the insertion position may be displayed by blinking these.

Next, in step S13, the IC card 20
Is determined based on whether there is an input signal from the reception detection sensor 7 or not. If the IC card 20 is not detected, the process stands by. If the IC card 20 is detected, the reading device 5a reads the IC card 2 in step S14.
The prescription information written in 0 is read. Here, it is determined whether there is no problem in the IC card 20 in step S15. The case where there is a problem with the IC card 20 includes a case where the IC card 20 is forged, a case where a reservation is already made by the IC card 20 or a case where a prescription is received. The identification number written on the card 20 is confirmed by comparing it with a registration number input by a computer.

If there is a problem with the IC card 20, an unacceptable message is displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 in step S16, and a line is connected to the management department in step S17. The prescription information receiving process ends. If a reservation has already been made, the reservation may be canceled again by canceling the reservation. In this case, for example, a button “Re-reservation acceptance” is displayed on the display unit 4a, and if this button is pressed,
The prescription reservation receiving process is restarted.

If there is no problem with the IC card 20, the medicine history information is searched based on the prescriber information in the prescription information read by the reading device 5a in step S18. As the drug history information, not only the drug read into the IC card 20 at this time, but also information on the allergic reaction of the booker and drug combination information that may cause side effects due to binding inhibition, etc., for the drug already taken. There is. This medicine history information is input from the external terminal A and stored in the prescription data described later (see step S135) every time information such as issuance of the IC card 20 by the doctor, registration of a new medicine, or a new allergic reaction is obtained. Will be updated by And
The control unit 3 temporarily stores the medicine history information called in step S19.
And a process operation menu is displayed in step S20. In this case, the display panel 4 includes
As shown in the figure, an operation guide is displayed on the central display section 4a, and a map selection key 25 for searching for a dispensing pharmacy by map selection as an operation key 10a at a predetermined position on the peripheral section 4b,
A place name selection key 26 for searching by place name is displayed.

In step S21, a display process described later is started. The display process refers to a process for performing an operation guide or the like for smoothly performing the operation of the reservation person. Then, the process waits until a key is selected in step S22, and determines whether the selected key is the map selection key 25 in step S23, and shifts to dispensing pharmacy selection processing.

FIG. 6 shows a flowchart of the display processing. In the display process, in step S31, the operation keys 10a
The timer is started after the key operation such as pressing the touch panel 10 with a finger is completed. Subsequently, in step S32, this timer time is set for a set time (for example,
6 seconds), and if not, the process directly proceeds to step S34. If not, the process proceeds to step S33.
After the corresponding operation message is displayed, the process proceeds to step S34. The corresponding operation message displayed here may be any message that displays the operation procedure at the present time in detail so as to be easily understood by the reservation person or a message for prompting the operation, and may be performed by voice.

In step S34, it is determined whether or not the operation key 10a has been accessed (the key operation described above). If there is no key operation, the steps S32 and S33 are continued,
If there is a key operation, the message is deleted in step S35, and then it is determined in step S36 whether the key operation is completed.

The key operation is determined based on whether or not the display processing is terminated in step S134 of the service processing described later. That is, the display process is continuously performed thereafter until the reservation of the dispensing by the reservation person is completed.
As a result, it is possible to reduce the reservation time by the reservation person and reduce operation errors.

(Dispensing pharmacy selection processing) FIGS. 7 and 16
Shows a flowchart of a dispensing pharmacy selection process. The dispensing pharmacy selection process refers to a process for selecting a dispensing pharmacy based on a map or a place name displayed on the display panel 4.

(Pharmacy Selection Map Processing) In the pharmacy selection map processing, as shown in FIG. 7, a set initial map is displayed on the center display section 4a of the display panel 4 in step S41. As the setting initial map, as shown in FIG. 18, a map of a predetermined area centering on the current hospital may be used. In this case, it is preferable that the area can cover a range that is expected to be used by most of the reserving persons at the dispensing pharmacy registered in the initial map for setting. In the setting initial map, the operation keys 10a are displayed on the peripheral display section 4b of the display panel 4.
Wide area map operation keys 27, narrow area map operation keys 28
And arrow keys 29 are displayed.

In step S42, a first key erasing process described later is performed. The first key erasing process refers to a process of erasing the display of the wide area map operation key 27, the narrow area map operation key 28, and the arrow key 29 for which the operation is disabled.

In step S43, a second key erasing process described later is performed. The second key erasing process is the map selection key 2
5 or a process of erasing either the place name selection key 26.

In step S44, it is determined whether or not the place name selection key 26 has been selected, and the process can be changed to the pharmacy select place name process during the pharmacy select map process. Place name selection key 26
If has not been operated, it is determined in step S45 whether or not a location specifying input has been made. The location specifying input means a case where a key operation is performed to select a dispensing pharmacy. Specifically, in addition to the case where any one of the operation keys 10a is touch-operated, the following designation of a display area is applicable. If there is no place identification input, steps S43 and S4
4 is repeated, and if there is a place identification input, the process proceeds to step S46.

In step S46, a map display process described later is started. The map display process is a process for enlarging, reducing, or moving a map displayed on the central display unit 4a of the display panel 4.

In step S47, step S42
By performing the first key erasing process in accordance with the flowchart of FIG. 8 in the same manner as in the case of, the display of the map selection key 25 which is an unnecessary operation message is erased.

In step S48, it is determined whether or not the number of registered dispensing pharmacies in the map displayed on the display panel 4 is smaller than the number of empty keys (the number of locations where the operation keys 10a are not displayed) on the peripheral display section 4b. I do.

If the number of registered dispensing pharmacies is less than the number of empty peripheral display units 4b, dispensing pharmacy names are assigned to the empty peripheral display units 4b in step S49, and as shown in FIG. After each pharmacy name is displayed, the process proceeds to step S54.

On the other hand, when the number of registered dispensing pharmacies is larger than the number of empty areas in the peripheral display section 4b, all registered dispensing pharmacies in the currently displayed map are allocated even if all of the peripheral displaying sections 4b are used. Therefore, the list key 30 is displayed as the operation key 10a on one of the peripheral display sections 4b in step S51. In this case, the list key 30 also displays the number of dispensing pharmacies registered in the map currently displayed on the display panel 4. Then, it is determined whether or not the list key 30 has been selected in step S52. If the list key 30 has not been selected, the process directly proceeds to step S54. If the list key 30 has been selected, the data display process is performed in step S53.
Move to The data display process refers to a process of displaying a dispensing pharmacy name displayed on the central display unit 4a of the display panel 4 when a place name list is selected.

In step S54, it is determined whether a specific dispensing pharmacy has actually been selected. If a specific dispensing pharmacy has not been selected, steps S43 to S53 are repeated. When a specific dispensing pharmacy is selected, the map print key 34 is used as the operation key 10a in step S55.
Is displayed, and it is determined in step S56 whether or not to issue a print of the map based on whether or not the print key 34 has been input.

If the print key 35 is operated, print information processing is performed in step S57, and if not, the process returns to the flowchart of FIG. The print information processing refers to selecting dispensing pharmacy information relating to the store preparation, transportation means, business guidance, access route from the current hospital, etc. of the selected dispensing pharmacy. In particular,
When the photograph of the appearance of the dispensing pharmacy is printed out, the user can easily recognize the dispensing pharmacy even in the first place.

FIG. 8 shows a flowchart of the first key erasing process (step S42 in FIG. 7). In the first key deletion process, it is determined in step S61 whether or not the display map can be enlarged. If the enlargement is possible, the process directly proceeds to step S63. If the enlargement is not possible, the wide area map operation key 27 is turned off in step S62 to stop the display on the peripheral display unit 4b of the display panel 4, and then the process proceeds to step S63. I do.

In step S63, it is determined whether or not the display map can be reduced. If reduction is possible, directly step S67
If it is not possible to reduce the size, the narrow-area map operation key 28 is turned off in step S64 to stop the display on the display panel 4, and then the process proceeds to step S65.

In step S65, it is determined whether or not the display map can be moved (scroll: shifting the display position on the display panel). Step S6 if movable
Then, if it is impossible to move, the arrow key 29 in the moving direction is turned off in step S66 to stop the display on the display panel 4, and then the process moves to step S67.

In step S67, it is determined whether or not the number of dispensing pharmacies (the number of registered dispensing dispensing pharmacies in the display) in the map displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 is smaller than the number of empty keys on the peripheral display section 4b. I do. If the number is large, the current display state is maintained. If the number is small, the list key 30 indicating the dispensing pharmacy total is turned off in step S68, and the display on the peripheral display unit 4b of the display panel 4 is stopped.

As described above, according to the first key erasing process, the operation keys 10a, which cannot be selected on the peripheral display section 4b of the display panel 4, are sequentially turned off, so that the erroneous operation due to the erroneous operation of the reservation person. Can be prevented from occurring.

FIG. 9 shows a flowchart of the second key erasing process (step S43 in FIG. 7). In the second key erasing process, the peripheral display unit 4b of the display panel 4 in step S71
, A map selection key 25 or a place name selection key 26 as the corresponding operation key 10a is displayed. In a step S72, it is determined whether or not a map is being displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4, and in a step S73, it is determined whether or not a place name list is being displayed. If the map is being displayed, the display of the map selection key 25 is deleted in step S74. If the list of place names is being displayed, the display of the place name selection key 26 is deleted in step S75.

FIG. 10 shows a flowchart of the map display processing (step S46 in FIG. 7). In the map display process,
In a step S81, it is determined whether or not the key operation is to designate a display area. The designation of the area within the display refers to a case where a predetermined position of the map displayed on the central display unit 4a of the display panel 4 is touched by the reservation person. That is, the map displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 has a designated area set by dividing the map vertically and horizontally into ten equal parts. In this case, it is possible to specify the display area.

In this way, in step S81, the designation of the area within the display, that is, the reservation is made by the
If it is determined that the predetermined position a has been directly touched, the center of the designated position is specified in step S82, and the enlargement process is performed in step S83 so that the designated area occupies the display panel. Here, in step S84, it is determined whether or not the enlargement processing has exceeded the enlargement limit.
Performs the correction process. This correction process displays a map moved upward by 3/10 if the entire range of the specified region cannot be displayed even if an enlargement process is attempted, for example, if 3/10 of the lower region cannot be displayed. is there. Then, when the correction processing is completed, the designated map is displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 in step S86.

On the other hand, if it is determined in step S81 that the display area has not been designated, it is determined in step S87 whether or not the arrow operation key 30 has been operated. If the arrow key 29 has been operated, in step S88, scroll by 9/10 in the direction of the arrow, and the designated map is displayed in step S86. That is, the operated arrow key 2
1/10 of the area farthest from 9
9 is moved to the position closest to 9 to display a 9/10 area which does not appear on the center display section 4a of the display panel 4 and is opposite to the arrow key 29.

If there is no operation of the arrow key 29 in the step S87, it is determined in a step S89 whether or not an enlarged area is designated (the operation of the wide area map operation key 27 in FIG. 18). If the enlarged area is specified, the map currently displayed on the display panel 4 is reduced by half in step S90, and the map currently displayed on the display panel 4 is displayed in the center by doubling the map. After displaying the map, the process proceeds to step S86 to display the designated map.

On the other hand, if the enlarged area is not specified in step S89, it means that the reduced area has been specified (operation of the narrow area map selection key 28 in FIG. 18).
After designating the reduced area in 91, the central portion is displayed on the entire screen in step S92, and the process proceeds to step S86 to display the designated map.

In the map display processing, the correction processing is performed only by specifying the display area, but it is needless to say that the correction processing may be performed by the arrow operation and the wide area specification.

FIG. 11 shows a flowchart of the data display process (step S53 in FIG. 7). In the data display process, it is determined whether or not the place name list is selected in step S101, and if the place name list is selected, step S1 is performed.
03, the place name list is searched. If the place name list has not been selected, the dispensing pharmacy list has been selected. After selecting the dispensing pharmacy list in step S102,
In step S103, a corresponding dispensing pharmacy list is searched, and the dispensing pharmacy name stored in the storage device 2 is called. Then, in step S104, it is determined whether or not the entire list can be displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4. If the list can be displayed, the corresponding registration list is displayed in step S105. On the other hand, if the display is not possible, a next screen operation key (not shown) is displayed as the operation key 10a in step S106, then the corresponding registration list is allocated to each screen in step S107, and the initial screen is displayed in step S108. Display the assigned registration list. In this case, by sequentially operating the next screen operation keys,
Of course, the registration list displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 can be changed.

(Service Processing) FIG. 12 and FIG.
4 shows a flowchart of a service process. In the service processing, it is determined whether or not the medicine written in the IC card 20 in step S111 can be provided based on the stock information of the medicine at the dispensing pharmacy. If the medicine cannot be provided, a display indicating that the prescription cannot be made is made in step S112, and then step S112 is performed.
At 113, an operation guide is displayed. That is, the center display section 4a of the display panel 4 indicates that “in the selected dispensing pharmacy,
◇◇ is out of stock and cannot be prescribed. Is displayed, and then a message such as "Please operate any of the displayed selection keys again" is displayed. In this case, the operation keys 10a to be displayed include a map selection key 25 and a place name selection key 2
6. There are a previous screen selection key (not shown) and the like. Step S
At 114, it is determined whether or not the return operation, that is, the operation of the map selection key 25, the place name selection key 26, or the like has been performed, and if the return operation has been performed, the predetermined processing is performed as described above. If the return operation has not been performed, it is determined in step S115 whether the previous screen operation, that is, the previous screen selection key or the like has been operated. If the previous screen operation has been performed, after returning to the previous screen in step S116, the process proceeds to the corresponding R in FIG. 7 or FIG. If the previous screen operation has not been performed, the process returns to step S114 to return to one of the operation keys 10a.
Wait until is operated.

On the other hand, if the medicine can be provided in step S111, a service menu is displayed in step S117, and an operation menu is displayed in step S118. The service menu refers to guidance of a selection menu regarding a dispensing pharmacy displayed on the central display unit 4a of the display panel 4. The operation menu is displayed on the peripheral display unit 4b as operation keys 10a such as a transportation mode selection key 31, a business guidance selection key 32, a target, and a store setting selection key 33. When the operation menu is displayed, the above-described step S57 is performed.
Also, a map print key 34 for printing out the map searched in and a reservation cancel key 35 for canceling a reservation are displayed.

Subsequently, a third key erasing process is performed in a step S119. The third key erasing process is a process of sequentially erasing the display of the operated keys among the operation keys 10a for obtaining information that can be provided with respect to the dispensing pharmacy.

Next, in step S120, it is determined whether or not a key input selection operation (any key operation) has been performed.
If there is no key selection operation, the operation waits as it is. If there is a key selection operation, the corresponding dispensing pharmacy information is displayed in step S121, and whether or not the operation has been completed is determined in step S122 from, for example, an end key (not shown). The determination is made based on the presence or absence of an input signal. If the operation is not completed, step S1
19 to S121 are repeated, and each time the step S
At step 119, the operated key is deleted. Then, when all the operations are completed, the process proceeds to step S123 shown in FIG.

In step S123, a search for drug history information based on the IC card 20 is performed. That is, IC card 2
The corresponding information is called from the storage device 2 based on the prescription information such as the name of the reserving person and the name of the medicine read into 0. In step S124, for example, a plurality of drugs are described based on the information called in step S123, and if they are taken at the same time, whether or not side effects due to binding inhibition will occur and whether or not side effects will occur due to the patient , Other IC
If the drug has already been received on the card 20, the results of the application of the drug described in the IC card 20 with respect to the reservation person, such as whether or not the binding inhibition occurs with those drugs, are analyzed and prescribed. It is determined whether there is no problem.

If it is determined that there is no problem with the prescription, the flow shifts to step S132. On the other hand, step S124
If it is determined that there is a problem with the prescription in step S12,
In step S5, a message indicating that a problem has occurred is displayed on the display panel 4, and step S5 is performed.
At 126, it is determined whether or not to communicate with the doctor so as to select which of the doctor and the pharmacist to communicate with. Here, a display of a doctor or a pharmacist is made on the operation keys 10a of the display panel 4. When communicating with the doctor, a call is made to the doctor in charge in step S127, and when communicating with the pharmacist, a call is made to the pharmacist selected in step S128.

The doctor or pharmacist who made the call determines whether or not there was any externally inputted prescription data (step S12).
9), whether the previous prescription is valid (step S13)
0) is determined. If there is externally inputted prescription data and it is determined that the prescription is not valid, the IC card 20 is reissued (step S131). The process moves directly to step S132.

In step S132, the aforementioned step S57
A map from the current hospital to the selected dispensing pharmacy,
From the service menu displayed in step S117, the selected dispensing pharmacy information and the like are collectively printed out. Then, in step S133, the final notice such as whether or not the IC card 20 has been forgotten is displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4, and then, in step S134.
Terminates the display processing that has been performed so far, and proceeds to step S1.
At 35, the prescription data is stored. This completed prescription data is accumulated and used in the next prescription reception process.

FIG. 14 shows a flowchart of the third key erasing process (step S119 in FIG. 12). In the third key erasing process, the operation keys 10a corresponding to the information that can be provided for the dispensing pharmacy are displayed in step S141, and then specifically in steps S142 to S145,
It is determined whether or not the key operation of the target object and store premises has been completed, whether or not the key operation of transportation guide has been completed, whether or not the key operation of business guidance has been completed, and whether or not the operation of the map print key has been completed. If the operation has been completed, step S146-
In step S149, the display of the corresponding operation key 10a is deleted.

(Communication Processing) FIG. 15 shows a flowchart of the communication processing. The communication process is a process of transmitting prescription information to the selected dispensing pharmacy.

In the communication process, the prescription information read in the reception process in step S151 is read. Next, in step S152, the dispensing pharmacy information regarding the dispensing pharmacy stored by the dispensing pharmacy selection process is read, and in step S153, a desired dispensing pharmacy is accessed via a telephone line.

In step S154, it is determined whether or not the telephone line is connected.
To send the prescription information. Then, by determining whether or not the communication has been completed in step S156, after waiting for the communication to be completed, it is determined in step S157 whether or not there is stored data. If there is stored data, the above operation is repeated. If there is no stored data, each process is terminated.
At this time, the center display section 4a of the display panel 4 may display a message such as the end of communication.

If it is determined in step S154 that the telephone line is not connected, the process proceeds to step S158.
It is determined whether or not the user is busy. If the user is busy, the process proceeds to step S161. If the user is not busy, the process proceeds to step S15.
At 9, it is determined whether or not there is any abnormality in the telephone line. If there is an abnormality, the fact that connection is impossible is transmitted as information to the telephone office in step S160, and if there is no abnormality, step S16
Move to 1.

In step S161, it is determined whether or not the call has been made ten times.
Go to step 60, if less than 10 calls, step S
In step 162, the retransmission data is stored, and the process returns to step S151 to repeat the above processing.

The case where the map selection key 25 is selected has been described above. When the place name selection key 26 is operated, the pharmacy selection place name processing is performed as follows.

(Pharmacy-selected place name processing) In the pharmacy-selected place name processing, as shown in FIG. 16, in step S171, data display processing is performed in accordance with the flowchart of FIG. Display the dispensing pharmacy list. Then, step S172
Then, the second key erasing process is performed according to the flowchart of FIG. Here, since the pharmacy selection place name is being processed, the map selection key 2 is displayed in the peripheral display section 4b of the display panel 4.
5 is displayed, and the place name selection key 26 is deleted. Subsequently, it is determined whether or not a map display operation has been performed in step S173. Map display operation, that is, map selection key 25
If the operation is performed, the pharmacy selection map process shown in the flowchart of FIG. 7 is performed. If there is no map display operation, the flow shifts to step S174.

In step S174, it is determined whether or not a pharmacy list key (not shown) has been operated. If it has not been selected, the process directly proceeds to step S176. If it has been selected, the data display process is performed in step S175. After that, the process moves to step S176. The data display process
Similar to the case of the map selection, the corresponding registration list is displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4 according to the flowchart of FIG. In this case, the displayed registration list is a region name, a place name, and a dispensing pharmacy name, and the screen is switched from the region name to the place name and from the place name to the dispensing pharmacy name by being directly pressed with a finger.

In step S176, it is determined whether a dispensing pharmacy has been selected. If the dispensing pharmacy has been selected, the process proceeds to step S184, and if not, the process proceeds to step S178 assuming that the area place name key has been selected in step S177.

In steps S178 to S183, the same processing as in steps S171 to S176 is performed. However,
The registration list displayed in step S178 is a place name list because the area name has already been selected in step S171. In step S183, the process waits until a dispensing pharmacy is selected.

When the dispensing pharmacy is thus selected, it is determined in step S184 whether or not the map display key 25 has been operated, and if the map display key 25 has been operated, step S1 is performed.
At 85 and S186, a map around the selected dispensing pharmacy is displayed on the central display section 4a of the display panel 4. This enables the reserving person to reconfirm that the pharmacy has been selected by himself or to confirm a route to the pharmacy.

On the other hand, if the map display key 25 is not operated, the process waits until the selection of the dispensing pharmacy is completed in step S187, and if the selection of the dispensing pharmacy is completed, it is determined whether or not a map print is to be issued in step S188. If the issuance is desired, the print information processing is performed in step S189, and if not, the service processing and the communication processing are performed as they are. The service processing and the communication processing are as described above.

In the above embodiment, the IC card 2
Although 0 is collected, it may be returned to the reservation person, and the prescription information may be rewritten and used.

The case where an IC card is used has been described above, but another ID card such as a magnetic card can be used. For example, when using a magnetic card, the storage capacity is small and not all prescription information can be written, so only the identification number is written. Then, by reading the identification number with the reading device 5a, the corresponding prescription information is called from the host computer and transmitted to the desired dispensing pharmacy.

[0074]

As is apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, the corresponding dispensing pharmacy information is called from the storage means based on the prescription information read from the card by the reading means, and the corresponding dispensing pharmacy information is sent by the transmitting means. Since the prescription information is transmitted to the dispensing pharmacy, the prescription information can be automatically transmitted to the pre-stored dispensing pharmacy simply by causing the reading means to read the prescription information from the card in advance. Therefore, the dispensing can be advanced in the dispensing pharmacy before receiving the medicine, and the medicine can be received without waiting time.

Since the place name selection information can be hierarchically displayed on the display means, a desired dispensing pharmacy can be smoothly selected.
