  As shown in FIG. 25, the medicine packaging apparatus 101 in the present embodiment is a medicine packaging apparatus that wraps medicine with a packaging material 10, and includes a display unit forming unit 20 that forms a display unit on the packaging material 10, When a collection of data including a collection of combinations in which display patterns are associated for each dosing timing over a dosing timing is referred to as a display pattern set 71, a collection of data including a plurality of display pattern sets 71 As a control unit for controlling the display unit forming unit 20 so as to form a display unit on the packaging material 10, a storage unit 84 for storing the display pattern master 70, a prescription data receiving unit 86 for receiving prescription data 72, and the like. A second control unit 83. The second control unit 83 forms the display unit on the packaging material 10 by using the prescription data 72 received by the prescription data receiving unit 86 and a plurality of display pattern sets 71 included in the display pattern master 70 stored in the storage unit 84. Is performed according to the display pattern associated with the dosing timing on the basis of one display pattern set 71 selected from the above. The medicine packaging apparatus 101 includes an edit receiving unit 85 that receives editing of the display pattern master 70. The second control unit 83 may be a part of the packaging machine main body 81.

  The above configuration will be described with reference to a specific example of the user interface. The operation screens shown in the following figures are displayed on the display 82a of the first control unit 82 shown in FIG. The user performs an operation using an input device such as the keyboard 82b of the first control unit 82. The first control unit 82 may be provided with an input device such as a mouse (not shown) in addition to the keyboard 82b. The presence of the physical keyboard 82b is not essential, and a system using a software keyboard displayed on the display 82a may be used. The display 82a may have a touch panel function. When the display 82a has a touch panel function, it is preferable because the user can intuitively operate with his / her finger while looking at the displayed menu screen.

  First, a basic menu screen as shown in FIG. Here, the types of work are displayed as several tabs in the upper part of the window. One of them, the “maintenance” tab 501 is selected. A plurality of buttons are displayed in the panel displayed when the tab 501 is selected. Among the plurality of buttons, a button 502 displayed as “pen pattern” is included. When the user presses the button 502, the screen is switched to a screen as shown in FIG. Here, the expression “push a button” is used, but this includes not only directly pressing the button with a finger or the like on the touch panel but also clicking the mouse cursor on the button. Further, it includes pressing a certain determination key after the button is selected by an operation of a keyboard or the like. In the following description, the same is true for a part that refers to pressing a specific part displayed on the screen such as a button.

  FIG. 27 shows an example of a screen displayed by the edit accepting unit 85. In FIG. 27, the contents of one display pattern set specified by the pen pattern code “0001” are displayed. A unique pen pattern code is assigned to each display pattern set. The pen pattern code is a number for identifying each display pattern set. Here, the pen pattern code is a four-digit number, but this is merely an example, and the number of digits is not necessarily four. The pen pattern code may include characters other than numbers.

  The code display unit 504 includes a button for searching for a pen pattern code and a text box for inputting the pen pattern code. When a button is pressed in a state where some characters are entered in the text box of the code display unit 504, a display pattern set that matches as a result of forward match search or complete match search based on the input character string is obtained. Is displayed.

  The name display unit 505 includes a button for searching for a pattern name and a text box for inputting the pattern name. When a button is pressed in a state where some characters are entered in the text box of the name display unit 505, a display pattern set that matches as a result of a forward match search or an exact match search based on the input character string Is displayed. That is, the user can display a desired display pattern set using at least one of the pen pattern code and the pattern name as a clue.

  In the example shown here, the pen pattern code 0001 is the display pattern set 71 for the facility A. The facility A is, for example, one medical institution. The pattern name of the pen pattern code 0001 is registered as “facility A”. Here, the display pattern set 71 for one medical institution is exemplified, but a display pattern set for one patient may be used instead of one medical institution. Since the pattern name is like a title given to the display pattern set 71, the user may appropriately determine the display pattern set 71 for his or her own understanding depending on what the display pattern set 71 is made for.

  One display pattern set 71 includes pen arrangement data 511 representing the relationship between the positions and colors of a plurality of pens. In FIG. 27, four types of pen colors are displayed as rectangles as “pen placement”. This portion of information corresponds to the pen arrangement data 511. Since the color display is not possible in the drawings of the patent application, all the rectangles look the same color, but in reality, the rectangles are displayed in different colors for each pen. For example, number 1 is red, number 2 is blue, number 3 is green, number 4 is black, and so on. The numbers 1 to 4 correspond to the four pen housing portions 25d (see FIG. 24) in the pen holding portion 23 (see FIG. 8) held in the pen unit 21. In FIG. 27, for convenience of explanation, red is represented as R, blue is represented as B, green is represented as G, and black is represented as BK. Actually, such a character may not be displayed, but only a rectangle of the color may be displayed. In the following figures, the same rules are used for colors. Although the description has been given here assuming that there are four types of colors included in the pen arrangement data, the number of types of colors is not limited to four and may be other numbers. If the number of pen accommodating portions 25d increases, the number of pens 24 can be increased, and the number of colors included in the pen arrangement data 511 can also be increased.

  One display pattern set 71 includes a collection of data in which display patterns are associated with each dose timing. This collection of data is displayed as a matrix 512 with the title “time / point pen setting”. One element of the matrix 512 corresponds to one “dosing timing”. The items “morning”, “daytime”, and “evening” on the vertical axis indicate “multiple times determined based on the time of day”, and “before meal”, “just before meal”, “ The items “between meals”, “immediately after meals”, and “after meals” correspond to “a plurality of dosing periods determined based on meals, waking up or sleeping”. Here, for simplification of explanation, the horizontal axis includes only five items before meal, immediately before meal, between meals, immediately after meal, and after meal. In addition, for example, items “when waking up” and “before sleeping” are included. It may be. In each dosing timing frame, a display pattern associated with the dosing timing is displayed. The display pattern here is a combination of line color information and line type information. One display pattern is a combination of one color and one line type. One display pattern may be, for example, a red solid line or a blue broken line. As the color of each display pattern, one of the colors stored in the pen arrangement data is selected. Since no color display is possible in the drawings of the patent application, all the display patterns look the same color, but in reality, the display patterns are displayed in the corresponding colors. For example, all display patterns in the “morning” row are displayed in red, all display patterns in the “day” row are displayed in blue, and all display patterns in the “evening” row are in green.
