[Functional configuration of server 20]
FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the server 20. As shown in FIG.
4, in the CPU 811 of the server 20, a prescription data receiving unit 151, a patient attribute receiving unit 152, a profile screen data generating unit 153, a profile screen data transmitting unit 154, a change acquisition unit 155, a change data transmitting unit 156, an operation content receiving unit 157, a print data generating unit 158, and a print data transmitting unit 159 function. In addition, in the storage unit 817 of the server 20, a pharmacist profile database (pharmacist profile DB) 171, a prescription database (prescription DB) 172, a patient attribute database (patient attribute DB) 173, a drug database (drug DB) 174, a pharmacy-specific drug use database (pharmacy-specific drug use DB) 175, a change point drug information database (change point drug information DB) 176, and a schedule database (schedule DB) 177 are formed.

Pharmacist profile DB171 stores data on the profiles of pharmacists affiliated with each dispensing pharmacy (pharmacist's photo, name, age, marital status, gender, specialty, details of community activities, current area of focus and motivation for becoming a pharmacist, reasons for becoming a pharmacist, joys of becoming a pharmacist, hobbies, etc.). This pharmacist profile data is input and stored each time a pharmacist joins a dispensing pharmacy. It is also possible to change a pharmacist's profile as appropriate according to the pharmacist's wishes, etc.

The prescription DB 172 stores data of the prescription DB 71 stored in the pharmacy computer 10 of each dispensing pharmacy. That is, the prescription DB 172 stores data of the prescription DB 71 of each dispensing pharmacy in a consolidated manner for a predetermined area in which the server 20 is operated.
The patient attribute DB 173 stores data of the patient attribute DB 72 stored in the pharmacy computer 10 of each dispensing pharmacy. That is, the patient attribute DB 173 stores an aggregate of data of the patient attribute DB 72 of each dispensing pharmacy for a predetermined area in which the server 20 is operated.

Data representing information on various drugs is stored in the drug DB 174. For example, data such as information on package inserts and drug prices of various drugs is stored in the drug DB 174.
Data representing drugs used for dispensing at each dispensing pharmacy is stored in the drug-used-by-pharmacy DB 175. The data stored in the drug-used-by-pharmacy DB 175 is updated as appropriate based on an application from each dispensing pharmacy when the drug used at each dispensing pharmacy is changed, for example.

The changed drug information DB 176 stores information on drugs that have been changed between the previous prescription content and the current prescription content for a patient (hereinafter referred to as "changed drug information" as appropriate). For example, the changed drug information DB 176 stores, as changed drug information, information on drugs that have been added to the previous prescription content for the same patient, drugs that have been discontinued from the previous prescription content, or other drugs that have been changed from drugs included in the previous prescription content.
Schedule data for each patient is stored in the schedule DB 177. This schedule data reflects various specific schedules of the patient (such as a drug intake schedule and a visit schedule) that the pharmacist has entered through a conversation with the patient using the pharmacist terminal 30.

The prescription data receiving unit 151 receives prescription data transmitted from the pharmacy computer 10. Then, the prescription data receiving unit 151 stores the received prescription data in the prescription DB 172.
The patient attribute receiving unit 152 receives the data of the patient attributes transmitted from the pharmacy computer 10. Then, the patient attribute receiving unit 152 stores the received data of the patient attributes in the patient attribute DB 173.

When the pharmacist terminal 30 requests the generation of a profile screen for presenting a pharmacist's profile to a patient, the profile screen data generation unit 153 reads out the profile data of the pharmacist for which the profile screen is to be generated and the patient attributes of the patient to whom the profile screen is to be presented from the pharmacist profile DB 171 and the patient attribute DB 173, respectively. Then, the profile screen data generation unit 153 generates profile screen data for presenting the pharmacist's profile to the patient based on the profile data of the pharmacist for which the profile screen is to be generated and the patient attributes of the patient to whom the profile screen is to be presented. When the profile screen data generation unit 153 generates profile screen data, it selects profile items that are displayed fixedly and items of all the pharmacist's profile data that have attributes in common with the patient. At this time, the profile screen data generation unit 153 may select screen elements other than the pharmacist's profile (background, color, font size, type of display frame, etc.) according to the attributes of the patient.

The profile screen data transmission unit 154 transmits the data of the profile screen generated by the profile screen data generation unit 153 to the pharmacist terminal 30 that requested the generation of the profile screen.
When the prescription data receiving unit 151 receives prescription data, the change acquisition unit 155 reads out the previous prescription data for the patient indicated by the prescription data from the prescription DB 172. The change acquisition unit 155 then compares the prescription data received by the prescription data receiving unit 151 with the previous prescription data read out from the prescription DB 172, and acquires information (changed drug information) on drugs that have been changed between the previous prescription content and the current prescription content for the patient. Furthermore, the change acquisition unit 155 stores the acquired data on changed drug information in the changed drug information DB 176. Note that images (such as packaging and the appearance of the drug itself) such as photos (e.g., color photos) of drugs may be stored in the drug DB 174, and when the same drug is prescribed but the packaging of the drug has been changed between the previous prescription and the current prescription for the patient, the image such as the photo of the drug may be included in the changed drug information.

When a request for transmission of changed drug information for a specific patient is received from the pharmacist terminal 30, the changed data transmission unit 156 transmits the data of changed drug information stored in the changed drug information DB 17 to the pharmacist terminal 30.
The operation content receiving unit 157 receives the contents of operations on the display screen inputted on the pharmacist terminal 30 from the pharmacist terminal 30. The contents of operations on the display screen inputted on the pharmacist terminal 30 include, for example, designation of printing targets for items in the drug information, changing the arrangement of items in the drug information, designation of display of detailed explanations in the drug information, and instructions to print documents to be provided to patients that include drug information. These operation contents are transmitted from the pharmacist terminal 30 to the server 20 all at once each time an operation is performed on the display screen on the pharmacist terminal 30, or when an instruction to print documents to be provided to patients that include drug information is given.

When a print instruction for a document to be provided to a patient, including drug information, is transmitted from the pharmacist terminal 30 to the server 20, the print data generating unit 158 generates print data for the document to be provided, including the drug information to be provided to the patient and a predetermined related document describing various contents explained to the patient by the pharmacist. For example, the drug information describes drug information including changes in drug information, and the predetermined related document describes information regarding schedules, such as a drug taking schedule or a visit schedule, that the pharmacist explained to the patient on the pharmacist terminal 30.
The print data transmission unit 159 transmits the print data generated by the print data generation unit 158 to the pharmacy computer 10 .

The pharmacist's profile screen includes fixedly displayed profile items and items selected in the server 20 according to the patient attributes. For example, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the pharmacist's photo, name, age, marital status, details of local activities, and current focus area are displayed as fixedly displayed profile items. In addition, in the example shown in FIG. 10, "Hobby: Walking" is displayed as an item selected according to the patient attributes. That is, the patient attributes of the patient for whom the profile screen of FIG. 10 is presented include data of "Hobby: Walking", and in the pharmacist's profile data, the item "Hobby: Walking" that is common to the patient's attribute information is selected and displayed on the profile screen.

FIG. 11 is a schematic diagram showing an example of the questionnaire screen.
As shown in FIG. 11, the screen display unit 254 displays the contents of a questionnaire regarding the taking of medicines in response to the pharmacist's operation on the display screen, and the operation receiving unit 251 receives the selection operation of options for the items in the questionnaire.

FIG. 12 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which a questionnaire has been answered.
In the example shown in Fig. 12, in response to the questionnaire "Do you like taking medicine?", the patient selects the option "I want to take it to feel safe." In addition, in the example shown in Fig. 12, in response to the questionnaire "Do you ever forget to take your medicine?", the patient selects the option "Sometimes." In this embodiment, the pharmacist's profile, with simplified content, is displayed on display screens other than the pharmacist's profile screen, such as the questionnaire display screen, as shown in Fig. 12.

FIG. 13 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display screen showing the contents of the changed drug information.
As shown in Fig. 13, the screen display unit 254 displays the contents of the changed drug information in response to the pharmacist's operation on the display screen. In the example shown in Fig. 13, the name of the medical institution to which the prescribing doctor belongs, the medical department, the doctor's name, the prescription date, etc., and a list of the drugs prescribed last time are displayed as the contents of the previous prescription. Similarly, in the example shown in Fig. 13, the name of the medical institution to which the prescribing doctor belongs, the medical department, the doctor's name, the prescription date, etc., and a list of the drugs prescribed this time are displayed as the contents of the current prescription. The pharmacist can operate the display screen while presenting the display screen shown in Fig. 13 to the patient to explain the contents of the prescription change in an easy-to-understand manner to the patient.

FIG. 14 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which a pharmacist has performed an operation to explain the prescription contents to a patient on the display screen shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 14, for "Tablet A" and "Tablet B", there is no change between the previous prescription and the current prescription, so when the pharmacist operates the items of "Tablet A" and "Tablet B", the absence of a change in the prescription is identified and represented by an arrow indicating that the prescription is the same. On the other hand, for "Tablet C", although it was included in the previous prescription, it is not included in the current prescription, so when the pharmacist operates the item of "Tablet C", a dashed x mark indicating that the prescription has been discontinued and a message saying "Bring it without taking x" are superimposed on the item of "Tablet C". Furthermore, for "Capsule D", although the prescription has been switched to "Capsule G", it is necessary to switch to "Capsule G" after drinking up the prescribed "Capsule D", so when the pharmacist operates the item of "Capsule D", a message saying "Drink it up" to instruct the user to drink up the remaining medicine in "Capsule D" is superimposed on the item of "Capsule D". In addition, the method of changing the prescription is identified and represented by an arrow indicating that the prescription has been changed from "Capsule D" to "Capsule G" and a message saying "Change after drinking up".

In addition, when the pharmacist operates the item of the drug prescribed in the current prescription, such as "A tablets" and "F capsules," a message such as "◎ Don't forget to take it" is displayed over these items. Furthermore, when the pharmacist operates an item in the current prescription, such as "G capsules," which has been changed from the previous prescription and has benefits for the patient, a message indicating the benefits for the patient (for example, "You can eat XX from today!", which improves the patient's quality of life) is displayed over this item. In addition, when there is a change in the packaging of the drug or the appearance of the drug itself, it is also possible to display a message such as "The packaging (appearance) has changed" to notify the patient of the change in the packaging of the drug or the appearance of the drug itself. In this case, an image such as a photo showing the packaging of the drug before the change or the appearance of the drug itself is displayed in the previous prescription, and an image such as a photo showing the packaging of the drug after the change or the appearance of the drug itself is displayed in the current prescription. Messages such as "Bring it without taking it,""Drink it all,""Don't forget to take it,""Starting today, you can eat XX!", and "The packaging (appearance) has changed" can be displayed automatically based on the results of comparing the data from the previous prescription with the data from the current prescription and the results of the pharmacist's operations.
In addition to the above examples, the display contents of these messages can also include information to be notified to the patient in response to changes in the prescription (such as warnings and advice from the pharmacist), which can encourage the patient to be more aware of the changes in the prescription.

Here, on the display screen showing the contents of the changed medication information, the arrangement of each listed item can be changed within the previous prescription contents and the current prescription contents for purposes such as ease of explanation.
FIG. 15 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a state in which the arrangement of items displayed in a list is changed.
As shown in Figure 15, if "Tablet C" in the previous prescription has been changed to "Capsule F" with the same efficacy in the current prescription, the position of "Tablet C" can be changed by moving it to a position next to "Capsule F." This makes it possible to display the prescription change in a way that is easier for patients to understand.

FIG. 16 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a schedule presented to a patient.
In FIG. 16, a two-week schedule for a patient is displayed. In the example of the schedule shown in FIG. 16, a band including the character "medicine" indicating the period during which the dispensed medicine is taken, the character "class reunion" indicating the date of the patient's class reunion, and a double-headed arrow with the character "trip" indicating the date of the patient's trip are input in the schedule column consisting of the date, day of the week, and weather forecast. In addition, the pharmacist can input handwritten input or stamp data for this schedule. For example, the pharmacist inputs stamp data of "be careful not to forget to take your medicine" into the date of the "class reunion", and the pharmacist inputs stamp data of "take your medicine" into the first day of the "trip". In addition, on the last day of the period during which the dispensed medicine is taken, stamp data of "next visit" is input to encourage the patient to visit the pharmacy next time. The stamp data of "next visit" can be automatically input on the last day of the period during which the dispensed medicine is taken, or can be input at the discretion of the pharmacist. Furthermore, in the example schedule shown in FIG. 16, the pharmacist's work schedule is shown at the bottom of the schedule column, allowing the patient to decide the date to visit the dispensing pharmacy based on the pharmacist's work schedule.
Using this scheduling function, pharmacists can set a drug-taking schedule that takes into full consideration the patient's daily life. For example, if a patient who has been prescribed a drug for headaches wants to be in good shape for their child's athletic meet, the pharmacist can provide guidance on the drug-taking schedule so that the patient's symptoms are alleviated on the day of the athletic meet.

FIG. 17 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an interface screen for inputting stamp data.
In the schedule display screen shown in Fig. 16, when a schedule column for any date is selected, by performing an operation to select (e.g., tap) the "stamp" icon located in the bottom column of the schedule display screen, an interface screen for inputting stamps is displayed as shown in Fig. 17. By performing an operation to select any stamp, the pharmacist can input data of the desired stamp for the desired date.

FIG. 18 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an interface screen for inputting handwritten characters.
In the schedule display screen shown in FIG. 16, when a schedule column for any date is selected, and an operation to select (e.g., tap) the "Handwritten" icon located in the bottom column of the schedule display screen is performed, an interface screen for inputting handwritten characters is displayed as shown in FIG. 18. The pharmacist can handwrite any character in the area for inputting handwritten characters, and the input character is recognized, allowing the pharmacist to input the desired character data for the desired date. In addition, in the interface screen for inputting handwritten characters, the color of the input character can be selected, and by selecting a color and then inputting handwritten characters, characters of the desired color can be input.

FIG. 19 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an interface screen for registering a new schedule.
When an operation to select (e.g., tap) the "Add Schedule" icon located in the bottom section of the schedule display screen shown in Fig. 16 is performed, an interface screen for registering a new schedule is displayed as shown in Fig. 19. By selecting a period, a schedule option, and a display color of the double-headed arrow, the pharmacist can display the double-headed arrow indicating the selected period in the selected color and input characters indicating the schedule selected from the schedule options.

FIG. 20 is a schematic diagram showing an example of an interface screen for editing an already input schedule.
When an operation to select an already inputted plan (such as a double tap) is performed on the schedule display screen shown in Fig. 16, an interface screen for editing the plan is displayed as shown in Fig. 19. The pharmacist can select to change the display color of the period, plan options, and double-arrow to the desired color, so that the double-arrow indicating the selected period is displayed in the selected color, and the pharmacist can input characters indicating the plan selected from the plan options.

FIG. 21 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a screen displaying a message to the effect that any consultation matter is accepted.
In the example screen shown in Fig. 21, messages such as "Is there anything you are concerned about?", "I know it's difficult to talk about, but please feel free to ask me any questions you may have", "Even if it's about your family", and "Even if it's something other than medicine" are displayed. By presenting such a screen, the pharmacist can create an atmosphere where the patient feels comfortable asking for advice.

[Examples of drug information documents]
Next, a specific example of the document provided to the patient will be described.
22 and 23 are schematic diagrams showing an example of a provision document (changes in medication information) provided to a patient.
In the display screens showing the contents of the modified medication information exemplified in the above-mentioned Figs. 13 to 15, the pharmacist can appropriately select the medication to be printed on the medication information based on the conversation with the patient, etc.
For example, Fig. 22 shows an example in which major drugs, including drugs whose prescriptions have been changed and drugs whose prescriptions have not been changed, are selected as the print targets. In Fig. 22, "Tablet A" and "Tablet B" whose prescriptions have not been changed, "Tablet C" whose prescription has been discontinued, "Capsule F" that has been newly prescribed, and "Capsule D" and "Capsule G" whose prescriptions have been changed are selected as the print targets.

On the other hand, Fig. 23 shows an example in which drugs whose prescriptions have been changed are selected as the printing targets. In Fig. 23, the newly prescribed "F Capsule," the "D Capsule" and "G Capsule" whose prescriptions have been changed, and the "C Tablet" whose prescription has been discontinued are selected as the printing targets.
As shown in Figs. 22 and 23, among the drugs for which prescriptions have been changed, those that require caution when taking are marked with a "Don't take it, bring it with you" mark, which urges the patient to take the drug to the pharmacy without taking it because the prescription has run out, a "Take it all up" mark, which urges the patient to take the last prescribed drug before taking the current prescribed drug, a "Don't forget to take it" mark, which warns the patient not to forget to take the drug because it has been newly added to the current prescription, and a "You can eat XX from today!" mark, which indicates that the patient's quality of life will improve with the change in prescription. In addition, if there is a change in the packaging of the drug or the appearance of the drug itself, it is also possible to add a mark such as "The packaging (appearance) has changed" to notify the patient of the change in the packaging of the drug or the appearance of the drug itself. In this case, an image such as a photo showing the packaging of the drug before the change or the appearance of the drug itself is printed on the previous prescription, and an image such as a photo showing the packaging of the drug after the change or the appearance of the drug itself is printed on the current prescription. These marks, such as "Bring it without taking it,""Drink it all,""Don't forget to take it,""You can eat XX from today!", and "The packaging (appearance) has changed," can be added automatically based on the results of comparing the data from the previous prescription with the data from the current prescription or the results of the pharmacist's operations.
In addition to the above examples, the display contents indicated by these marks can also include information to be notified to patients in response to changes in prescription contents (such as warnings and advice from pharmacists), which can encourage patients to be more aware of changes in prescription contents.

FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a provided document (related document) provided to a patient.
The related document shown in Figure 24 is a document given to patients to post in a conspicuous place, such as a wall or refrigerator in their home, to make casual notes about things that concern them, and to bring with them the next time they visit the clinic.
As shown in Fig. 24, among the documents provided to the patient, a predetermined related document describes information related to schedules such as a drug-taking schedule, a visit schedule, and the patient's plans, which the pharmacist explained to the patient on the display screen shown in Fig. 16. Also, for each day in the schedule, check boxes for taking medication in the morning, afternoon, evening, and before going to bed (before going to bed) are described.

In addition, in the predetermined related document, the time that is the guideline for the timing of taking the medicine in a day is shown on the time axis under the schedule column. That is, in the example shown in Fig. 24, 7:00 in the morning, 13:00 in the afternoon, and 19:00 in the evening are shown as the guideline for the timing of taking the medicine.
Further below the time axis showing the approximate timing of taking the medicine, there is a section for the patient to note anything that concerns them, and images such as photographs of medicines that require special care when taking them are printed.
Furthermore, a message from the pharmacist to the patient and contact information for the dispensing pharmacy are printed in the bottom section of the specified related document shown in FIG.

As described above, in the information processing system 1 of this embodiment, when a pharmacist interacts with a patient at a dispensing pharmacy, a specific profile of the pharmacist is displayed while information about the drug is displayed, thereby stimulating the patient's interest and affinity with the pharmacist and supporting a smoother conversation.
In addition, in the information processing system 1, when a pharmacist explains information about a medication (such as changes to a prescribed medication) to a patient, a medication information document (medication information) reflecting the contents of that explanation is issued, allowing the patient to more easily refer to the contents of the explanation provided by the pharmacist even when taking the medication.
Furthermore, the information processing system 1 can present the contents explained to the patient by the pharmacist, such as how to take the prescribed medication, in a form that is easy for the patient to understand (such as a schedule), thereby supporting the patient in taking the appropriate medication.
Therefore, the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment can more appropriately support communication between pharmacists and patients.

[Modification 1]
In the above-described embodiment, when the print data generating unit 158 generates print data for the provision document, an image explaining how to use the medicine included in the current prescription may be included in the medicine information.
For example, if it is an oral medication, a pictogram of the medication being taken by mouth; if it is a patch, a pictogram of the medication being applied to the body; if it is a suppository, a pictogram of the medication being inserted through the anus; and if it is an ointment, a pictogram of the medication being applied to the body can be printed on the medication information.
This can prevent patients from misusing the drug.

[Modification 2]
In the above-described embodiment, when the currently prescribed medication is displayed on the display screen of the pharmacist terminal 30 or printed on the medication information, the order in which the prescribed medication is displayed or printed may be automatically set according to specified conditions.
For example, the doctor who prescribed the drug may display the main drug on the top row, and drugs with lower relative importance such as supplementary drugs may be displayed on the bottom row. As an example, a drug prescribed to suppress headaches may be displayed on the top row, and drugs to suppress side effects caused by taking the drug (such as drugs to protect the gastric mucosa to suppress side effects such as stomach irritation) may be displayed on the bottom row.
In addition, for example, if a medicine is taken at different times such as in the morning, afternoon, or evening, it is possible to display the medicine in the order of the time of taking it from top to bottom.

[Modification 3]
In the above embodiment, the provided document is provided to a patient, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other words, the provided document may be provided to various entities that may refer to the patient's prescription, such as the patient's family, caregivers (care workers, etc.), nurses, etc., in addition to the patient. In this case, the content of the information shown in the provided document (e.g., difficulty level, granularity, etc.) may be changed depending on the knowledge of the provider who receives the provided document.
In addition, among the documents provided, the drug information document (drug information) and the specified related documents can be intended for different recipients. For example, the contents of the document provided can be generated assuming that the drug information document (drug information) will be provided to a caregiver of a patient and the specified related documents will be provided to the patient. This makes it possible to generate documents provided (drug information or related documents) with content suited to the purpose depending on the recipient of the document provided.

In the above-mentioned embodiment and modified example, the document provided to the patient is described as a prescribed written document such as a changed medication information or related documents, but is not limited thereto. For example, the document provided may be provided to the patient in the form of a medicine envelope. That is, in this embodiment, the print data generated by the print data generating unit 158 can be provided to the patient by printing information such as a medicine envelope or medication information on various media on which information can be printed. The materials of the various media on which information can be printed can be any type such as paper, vinyl, or electronic paper. It is also possible to print the print data divided onto multiple media. For example, it is also possible to configure one medium by a medication information providing document on which the current prescription data is printed and a sticker (such as a sticker on which the past prescription data and the contents of the prescription change are printed) that is affixed to the providing document to present the patient with the changes in the prescription data as a whole.
Furthermore, the documents provided to the patient may be provided to the patient by printing them on various media capable of printing information, or may be provided to the patient by outputting the information in the form of electronic data that can be viewed on an electronic medication notebook, an app on a smartphone or the like (an app such as a notebook or schedule book), or other electronic device (for example, provided via communication or storage media).

In the above-mentioned embodiment and modified example, the provided document provided to the patient shows the result of comparing one past prescription data with the current prescription data, such as the previous prescription data with the current prescription data, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the provided document may show the result of comparing the past prescription data with the current prescription data. As an example, if the previous and previous-previous prescription data are the same as the current prescription data, but there is a change in the prescription data three prescriptions ago, the provided document shows the result of comparing the prescription data three prescriptions ago, the previous (or previous-previous) prescription data, and the current prescription data. This makes it possible to extract past prescription data that is useful to present to the patient, not limited to the previous prescription data, and show the result of comparing the data with the current prescription data.
It is also possible that the prescription data to be compared does not include the current prescription data; for example, it is possible to show the results of comparing the previous prescription data with the prescription data before that.

In the above-mentioned embodiment and modified example, when the display screen showing the contents of the changed drug information shown in FIG. 13 is displayed, in the initial state, drugs with the same ingredients (or efficacy) can be automatically associated and arranged in the past prescription data and the current prescription data. In this case, for example, drugs that have not been changed or drugs before and after the change that have the same ingredients (or efficacy) are displayed in association with each other. When the pharmacist moves the display position of any drug on the display screen showing the contents of the changed drug information displayed in this way, the display content that is set in advance can be automatically displayed corresponding to the position resulting from the movement. For example, when any drug in the past prescription data is moved to a display position that does not correspond to the current prescription data, a message indicating that the prescription of the drug has been discontinued (such as "the drug has run out") can be displayed. Similarly, when any drug in the current prescription data is moved to a display position that does not correspond to the past prescription data, a message indicating that the prescription of the drug has been added (such as "a drug has been added") can be displayed. This makes it possible to more clearly show the patient the contents of the changes to the prescribed drug.

As described above, the information processing system 1 according to this embodiment includes the pharmacy computer 10, the server 20, and the pharmacist terminal 30.
