It is for displaying together with, for example, a CRT is used.

Next, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 11 and FIG.
The operation of the drug inspection support system having the above configuration will be described with reference to. First, the operation of the counting inspection device 30 will be described.

FIG. 9 shows the operation of the counting inspection device 30 in the automatic mode. The image processing control unit 32 of the counting inspection device 30 first uses the communication I / F 36 from the console 10 via the communication path 50 to divide the number of prescriptions (number of sachets) and tablets in one sachet. The number data is acquired together with the prescription code (or patient code) (step S101).

Next, the image processing control unit 32 causes the image pickup unit 31.
The tablet shadow image in the first sachet is obtained by, the predetermined image processing is performed on the tablet shadow image, and the number of tablets in the sachet is counted (step S102).

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the acquired tablet shadow image is assigned with the sequential number of the sachet (the number of checks), the number of tablets in one sachet obtained from the prescription data (data value), The actual tablet count value in the packet and the difference value between the data value and the count value are displayed by the display device 33 (step S103). These processes (steps S102, S
Step 103) is repeated until the tablet counting is completed for one prescription sachet (step S104; Y).

When the tablet counting for one prescription sachet is completed (step S104; Y), the check result is printed out (step S105) and saved in a counting audit data file in a storage device (not shown) (step S105). S106). And the check result is NG,
That is, when a discrepancy between the data value and the count value is found in any of the sachets (step S107;
Y), stamp the character of "impossible" on the final sachet for the prescription (step S108), and proceed to step S109. On the other hand, when the result is OK for all the sachets (step S107; N), the process directly proceeds to step S109.

In step S109, the count inspection data is sent together with the identification code (or patient code) of the prescription to the image confirmation inspection support controller 41 of the image confirmation inspection support system 40, and the operation for one prescription is completed. .

As described above, in the automatic mode, whether or not the count value of the tablets in the sachet is different from the data value based on the prescription, the count inspection of the prescription tablets for one prescription is continued to the end. At the same time, after the inspection is completed, the inspection results are collectively printed out and displayed, so that it is possible to avoid interruption of the packaging work each time. Further, since the inspection result is filed and sent to the image confirmation inspection support system 40 after the inspection is completed, the inspection result data is transmitted to the image confirmation inspection support system 4.
0 for use in tablet inspection work.

FIG. 10 and FIG. 11 show the operation of the counting inspection device 30 in the manual mode. First, the image processing control unit 32 of the counting inspection device 30 prescribes the data of the number of sachets for one prescription (the number of sachets) and the number of tablets in one sachet from the console 10 via the communication path 50. It is acquired together with the code (or the patient code) (step S201 in FIG. 10).

Next, the image processing control unit 32 causes the image pickup unit 31.
The tablet shadow image in the first sachet is obtained by, the predetermined image processing is performed on the tablet shadow image, and the number of tablets in the sachet is counted (step S202).

Then, as shown in FIG. 12, the acquired tablet shadow image is assigned with the sequential number of the sachet (the number of checks), the number of tablets in one sachet obtained from the prescription data (data value), The actual tablet count value in the packet and the difference value between the data value and the count value are displayed by the display device 33 (step S203).

Here, when the data value and the count value match (step S204; Y), the process proceeds to step S215, and a process for determining whether or not the counting inspection for one prescription is completed. Then, if it has not been completed yet, the process returns to step S202 to repeat the same processing.

On the other hand, when the data value and the count value do not match (step S204; N), the image processing controller 3
2 sends a temporary stop signal to the console 10 via the communication path 50 (step S205) and stops counting inspection work (step S206). The operation console 10 which receives the suspension signal from the counting inspection device 30 is the fully automatic tablet packing machine 2
Command 0 to pause. As a result, the fully automatic tablet packing machine 20 is temporarily stopped (step S207).

At the same time, the image processing control unit 32 controls the image pickup unit 3
1 from the lower illumination 313 to the upper illumination 315.
The color reflection image of the tablet in the sachet is captured by the detection unit 314 and displayed on the display device 33 (step S208 in FIG. 11). Thereby, as shown in FIG. 13, the tablet image on the display device 33 is switched from the shadow image to the color reflection image. The pharmacist visually checks this color reflection image (step S209),
It is possible to confirm whether the number of tablets does not really match the data value or whether the number of tablets is an erroneous count due to overlapping of tablets or the like. At this time, the color reflection image displayed on the display device 33 is enlarged and displayed in a size of several times the size of an actual tablet, so that it is easier to confirm the drug symbol and the like than to see the actual product.

When the pharmacist determines that there is no problem (step S210; Y), the pharmacist inputs a temporary stop release signal from the console 10 (step S211). This suspension cancellation signal is sent to the fully automatic tablet packing machine 20 and the counting inspection device 30 via the communication path 50. On the other hand, when it is determined that there is a problem (step S210; N), other predetermined processing (for example, all packaging work for the prescription is redone from the beginning) is performed.

When the temporary stop release signal is input from the console 10 (step S212), the image processing control section 32 instructs the detection section 314 to return the illumination from the upper illumination 315 to the lower illumination 313, and perform the counting inspection. Restart (step S21)
3). On the other hand, the fully automatic tablet packing machine 20 also restarts its operation (step S214). Then, the counting inspection device 30 returns to step S202 and performs the counting inspection process for the next sachet.

This process is repeated until the tablet count for the packaging bag for one prescription is completed (step S215; Y).

As described above, in the manual mode, when it is recognized that the count value of the tablets in the sachet is different from the data value based on the prescription, the operation of the counting inspection device 30 and the fully automatic tablet packaging machine 20 is immediately performed. Since it is possible to perform a visual check by temporarily stopping the color reflection image, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that a large number of sachets with an incorrect number of tablets are created due to a malfunction of the fully automatic tablet sachet packaging machine 20 or the like. be able to.

Next, the operation of the image confirmation inspection support system 40 will be described.

FIG. 14 shows an image confirmation inspection support system 40.
Represents the operation of. When the pharmacist receives the medicine bag containing the sachet for one prescription that has been inspected by the counting inspection device 30 described above, first, the bar code portion printed on the surface of the medicine bag is read by the reading unit of the bar code reader 42. While approaching 46, the continuous sachet is taken out of the medicine bag, and one sachet is placed on the center of the mounting table 47 of the imaging device 43. The bar code is printed on the surface of the medicine bag on the basis of the prescription data in a medicine bag making device (not shown).

The bar code reader 42 reads the prescription code (or patient code) by the bar code on the medicine bag and sends it to the image confirmation inspection support controller 41 (step S301 in FIG. 14). Upon receiving this, the image confirmation inspection support control unit 41 acquires the prescription data or the like corresponding to the read prescription code from the database of the console 10 via the communication path 50 by the communication I / F 413 (step S30).
2). Further, the image confirmation inspection support control unit 41 takes out the count inspection data transmitted from the count inspection device 30 and held in the case of the automatic mode, which corresponds to the relevant prescription (step S303).

On the other hand, in the image pickup device 43, the color reflection image of the tablets in the sachets set on the mounting table 47 is picked up by the image pickup section 4.
8 and sends it to the image confirmation / inspection support controller 41 (step S304).

The image confirmation inspection support control unit 41 displays the tablet image acquired by the image pickup device 43 on the display device 44 together with the prescription data and the like from the console 10 and the count inspection data from the count inspection device 30 (step S30).
