<1. System configuration>

1 is a schematic configuration diagram of a drug sales system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The drug sales system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention is built on a wired or wireless network, receives a drug purchase request from a user, delivers the drug to a pharmacist, and sells the drug to the drug vending machine 3 with the approval of the pharmacist. From the medicine server (2), the medicine vending machine (3) and the medicine server (2), which receives the drug purchase request from the user, transmits to the medicine server (2), receives the drug information approved by the pharmacist, and sells it to the user. If the user receives the drug purchase application is configured to include a pharmacist terminal (5) to designate and approve the drug according to the symptoms.

Here, the drug sales system 1 is a purchase history for transmitting the past drug purchase history of the user who applied for the drug purchase to the user terminal 4 and the drug server (2) receiving the purchase authorization number to apply for the drug purchase It may be configured to further include a server (6).

The wired and wireless networks in the present invention typically include all communication networks capable of Internet data communication using various protocols such as a mobile communication network, a wired and wireless public network such as the Internet, and a private network.

The medicine server 2 receives a user's medicine purchase application. The medicine server 2 receives an application for purchase of medicines containing the symptoms of the user. Upon receiving the user's purchase request, the medicine server 2 transmits the user's purchase request to the pharmacist terminal 5 to request approval of the purchase of the medicine. When the medicine server 2 receives the medicine to be sold to the user from the pharmacist terminal 5 and the purchase approval is completed, the medicine server 2 provides the purchase authentication number to the user. After providing the purchase authorization number, the drug server 2 receives the purchase authorization number from the drug vending machine 3, and guides the drug information and the payment amount to process the payment.

The drug vending machine 3 performs internet communication with the drug server 2 to sell the drug approved by the pharmacist to the user. Since a vending machine has a screen display function, an internet data communication function, and a product selling function in various forms and functions, detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Here, the drug vending machine (3) guides the user to input the medicine of the symptom and the desired purchase through the screen, and transmits the drug purchase application input by the user to the medicine server (2). Then, if approved by the pharmacist, the drug vending machine (3) receives the purchase authorization number from the user and transmits to the drug purchase server (2) and receives the drug information and payment information to display on the screen. When the medicine vending machine 3 receives the payment information input by the user, the medicine vending machine 3 requests a payment to the medicine purchase server 2, and when the payment is approved, the medicine is provided to the user.

The pharmacist terminal 5 receives a user's purchase request through the medicine server (2). The pharmacist terminal 5 displays the user's symptoms on the screen, and receives the drug application corresponding to the user's symptoms from the pharmacist to approve the user's purchase application. Of course, the pharmacist can either accept the drug as the user wishes to purchase or select an alternative medicine.

Here, the pharmacist terminal 5 includes a computer terminal and a mobile communication terminal capable of Internet data communication. For example, in the case of a pharmacist's smartphone, a dedicated application may be installed.

The user terminal 4 accesses the home page of the medicine server 2 and then applies for a medicine purchase according to a user's input, and receives a purchase authentication number according to the purchase approval of the pharmacist terminal 5. That is, in the present invention, the user may apply for the purchase of the medicine by inputting from the user terminal 4 in addition to applying for the purchase of the medicine by inputting from the medicine vending machine 3. When the user terminal 4 receives the purchase authorization number, the user inputs the received purchase authorization number into the medicine vending machine 3 to purchase the medicine.

For example, a dedicated application is installed on a user's smart phone, so it is possible to apply for drug purchase and receive a purchase authorization number. Of course, the application can also provide the location information of the nearby drug vending machine (3) that can be purchased at the current location of the user.

However, the user terminal 4 receives the purchase authentication number (for example, receiving an email, receiving an SMS, etc.). The user terminal 4 receives the purchase authentication number because the user requests the drug purchase from the drug vending machine 3 and is sent to a designated pharmacist, and it may take a certain time for the pharmacist to designate the drug. At this time, it is more efficient for the user to input the purchase application of the next user rather than blindly waiting for the approval of the pharmacist by occupying the medicine vending machine (3). In addition, by transmitting the purchase authentication number to the user terminal 4 to allow only the user to receive the purchase authentication number to the user terminal 4 to purchase the medicine.

The purchase history server 6 provides the drug server 2 with the past drug purchase history of the user in order to prevent the drug abuse of the user. For example, the Health Insurance Corporation manages the user's hospital and pharmacy use history, which is a good example of the purchase history server 6. If the pharmacist requests the medicine history history information to the medicine server 2 in the process of reviewing the medicine according to the user's symptoms, the medicine server 2 transmits the user information to the purchase history server 6 to the drug purchase history information Ask. Then, the pharmacist terminal 5 may receive the medicine purchase history information of the user provided by the purchase history server 6 through the medicine server 2. Therefore, the pharmacist can prevent the user's drug abuse by approving the sale of appropriate medicines with reference to past purchase history information on the user's symptoms.

2 is a technical model diagram of a drug sales system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The technical model of the drug sales system 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a user purchase request 101, a drug designation 102 of a pharmacist, and a drug vending machine sale 103.

First, in the user purchase request 101, the user requests the purchase of a medicine to the medicine server 2 using the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal (4).

Here, the medicine server 2 authenticates the user himself. User authentication may be a mobile subscriber authentication, credit card authentication, SMS authentication number authentication and authentication certificate authentication. In addition, various personal authentications may be performed, and the present invention is not limited to a specific authentication method.

 For example, the user requests his / her authentication by entering his social security number, mobile phone number and name. The medicine server 2 receives the authentication information and compares it with previously stored member registration information to perform authentication. In addition, it is possible to request the subscriber authentication to the mobile carrier to receive the authentication result. If the authentication is successful, the medicine server 2 generates a unique authentication number and sends an SMS to the mobile phone number. Thereafter, the user inputs the unique authentication number into the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4. When the medicine server 2 receives the unique authentication number, it compares with the pre-stored unique authentication number. If both unique authentication numbers match, the medicine server 2 may confirm that the user directly applies to purchase the medicine.

Since drug sales should be allowed only to the user concerned, the identity verification is preferably performed for each purchase instance.

Next, the pharmacist designation 102 of the pharmacist server 2 receives the user's symptom and desired drug information and requests approval of the user's purchase application to the designated pharmacist terminal (5).

Here, the user inputs (selects) detailed symptoms according to the guidance through the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4. For example, the user receives input (selection) of which part is ill, how is healed, when he is ill, and what medicine is being taken. In addition, as the user is classified into detailed symptoms, the user designates a specific medicine from the medicine group displayed on the screen or selects a pharmacist recommendation to apply for a purchase. In addition, the user may select whether or not to allow a pharmacist to switch to a replacement drug while designating a specific drug.

In addition, when the medicine server 2 receives a user's application for purchasing medicine, a specific pharmacist may be selected by the user. The drug vending machine 3 has a plurality of pharmacists designated by default. In addition, the user may designate a pharmacist of a regular pharmacy that he visits at all times to apply for a medicine purchase. For example, a user may call a regular pharmacist about 11 pm in advance to inform them of a drug purchase and request approval. In addition, the user may input his or her regular pharmacist number or a designated mobile phone number to designate that the pharmacist transmits his purchase request.

Here, when the user does not designate a specific pharmacist, the medicine server 2 transmits the user's application for purchase to a predetermined pharmacist. If the pharmacist terminal 5 is disabled (eg, power off, etc.) or if the reception of the pharmacist is not confirmed within a predetermined time (eg, 2 minutes), the purchase request of the user is additionally transmitted to the subordinate pharmacist terminal. As described above, when approval is confirmed from a specific pharmacist terminal 5 while the user's purchase request is transmitted while being expanded to the plurality of pharmacist terminals 5, a cancellation request is sent to the purchase approval request transmitted to the other pharmacist terminal 5. send. This allows the user to get approval from the pharmacist as quickly as possible even at midnight hours when the pharmacy is closed. By the drug designation and approval of the pharmacist, the medicine server 2 transmits a purchase authentication number to the user terminal 4.

Subsequently, the drug vending machine sales 103 receives the purchase authorization number from the user and sends the medicine vending machine 3 to the drug server 2. The drug server 2 responds with drug information and price information corresponding to the purchase authorization number. The user checks the drug details and the amount displayed on the screen of the drug vending machine 3, selects a payment method such as a credit card, a mobile phone payment, a bank transfer, and inputs payment information, and then requests a payment. When the medicine vending machine 3 receives the payment success message, the medicine vending machine 3 provides the medicine to the user.

Here, when the drug vending machine 3 is at least one of the drugs to be purchased by the user is out of stock, the user can inform the user whether to purchase only some items or cancel the entire purchase. The drug vending machine (3) guides the location of nearby drug vending machines where the sold-out or full drug can be purchased. Therefore, the user can purchase only some items using the same purchase authorization number and purchase the remaining medicines from the other medicine vending machine 3.

3 shows a schematic internal structure of a drug server 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Drug server 2 according to an embodiment of the present invention is the user authentication unit 21 for authenticating the user who purchases the medicine by receiving the user information, the purchase application receiving unit for receiving the application for the purchase of medicines from the authenticated user (22), the purchase approval request unit 23 for requesting the purchase approval to the pharmacist corresponding to the user's purchase application, the purchase approval receiving unit 24 for receiving the purchase approval by receiving the drug from the pharmacist, the user approved by the pharmacist Purchase authorization number issuing unit (25) for issuing a purchase authorization number for a drug purchase application of the drug, a purchase authorization number receiving unit (26) for receiving the purchase authorization number from the drug vending machine (3), and drug information corresponding to the purchase authorization number And a payment processing unit 27 for providing payment information and payment processing.

The identity verification unit 21 receives user information for drug purchase from the drug vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4 and performs identity verification. The identity verification unit 21 performs any one of mobile phone authentication, credit card authentication, public certificate authentication, and the like.

In the case of mobile phone authentication, the user authentication unit 21 receives the user's name, social security number, and mobile phone number and transmits it to the corresponding mobile communication company server to authenticate the mobile subscriber. And upon receiving a successful authentication from the mobile communication company server, the identity verification unit 21 generates an identity authentication number and sends an SMS to the mobile phone. Subsequently, the identity verification unit 21 receives the identity verification number from the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4 and compares it with previously stored information and confirms that it is the user. If the user authentication fails, the personal authentication unit 21 transmits a message of drug purchase impossible.

Here, in the case of credit card authentication and public certificate authentication, the identity verification unit 21 may authenticate whether or not the user through a credit card company and a public certification authority. Of course, it is also possible to select a preferred authentication method from the user and perform the user authentication of the selected method. The drug vending machine 3 may be provided with a USB port for certification.

The purchase application receiving unit 22 receives the user's drug application for purchase by providing an input page of the user's symptom to the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4 of the identified user.

Here, the purchase application receiving unit 22 may be selected as well as the symptoms of the user and the purchased medicines and pharmacists. That is, the user may select whether to purchase only a specific medicine after inputting symptoms or whether a pharmacist designates an alternative medicine. In addition, the user may directly designate a pharmacist desired or can be designated as a pharmacist to be assigned a default. If the user applies for a drug purchase using the user terminal 4, location information of the drug vending machine 3 selected by the user may be further included in the user purchase application information.

The purchase approval request unit 23 receives the user's purchase request and transmits the user's purchase request to the selected pharmacist terminal 5 or the default designated pharmacist terminal 5. The pharmacist receiving the purchase application reviews the user's symptoms through the pharmacist terminal (5) and designates the appropriate medicine. In addition, the purchase approval request unit 23 provides the pharmacist terminal 5 with user symptoms, location information of the drug vending machine 3 designated by the user, drug information, and the like.

Here, the purchase approval request unit 23 may query the user information to notify the pharmacist terminal 5 by adding information such as age, gender, physical information, disease history, etc. to the user's purchase application information.

In addition, the purchase approval request unit 23, if the pharmacist terminal 5 is not available or does not receive a purchase approval from the pharmacist terminal 5 for a predetermined time, the subordinate pharmacist terminal (5) inquiries to add a drug purchase application send. The longer the response time of the purchase approval is, the new subordinate pharmacist terminal 5 is periodically notified of the user's purchase request.

Alternatively, the medicine server 2 may optionally further include a purchase history providing unit 231. The purchase history providing unit 231 receives a request for inquiry of the user's medicine purchase history from the pharmacist terminal 5 while the pharmacist reviews the user's symptoms and medicines, the user's medicine purchase history to the purchase history server 6 Ask. In addition, the purchase history providing unit 231 provides a user's drug purchase history to the pharmacist terminal (5). For example, the user's recent drug purchase history and the same / homologous drug purchase history is inquired on the screen of the pharmacist terminal (5).

Therefore, the pharmacist approves the purchase by designating the medicine by referring to the user's symptoms, the medicine applied by the user, or the medicine designated by the user with reference to the user's past purchase history. Here, the pharmacist may designate the medicine by referring to the stock information of the medicine vending machine 3 to be used by the user in the process of designating the medicine. For example, if a user designates a specific drug vending machine (3) to apply for drug purchase, whenever the pharmacist selects a specific drug corresponding to the symptom, the purchase approval request unit 23 can purchase (eg, inventory quantity). ) Is provided to the pharmacist terminal (5). That is, the pharmacist may designate the medicine by referring to the stock information of the user-designated medicine vending machine 3 and the nearby medicine vending machine 3.

Therefore, the user can be protected from misuse of the medicine because the user is prescribed the appropriate medicine based on his symptoms and past history. In addition, the user can conveniently purchase medicines using the medicine vending machine (3) he applied for, as well as the nearby drug vending machine (3).

The purchase approval receiving unit 24 receives and stores the purchase approval information including the drug information from the pharmacist terminal (5).

The purchase authorization number issuing unit 25 generates a purchase authorization number uniquely identifying the purchase application of the user when the purchase approval is successful, and responds to the user's mobile phone by SMS.

Here, when the user applies for the purchase of the medicine to the user terminal (4) and receives the purchase confirmation number by the mobile phone, the drug vending machine (3) that can purchase the medicine with the purchase authentication number received from the user terminal (4) is inquired can do. This is because the drug server 2 manages the information of the entire drug vending machine 3 and stores the location information and the inventory information of the individual drug vending machine 3. And if the user terminal 4 is a smart phone, the drug purchase application installed in the smart phone to search the location information of the nearby drug vending machine (3) to buy the drug using the purchase authentication number from the current location of the smart phone Display on the screen.

The purchase authentication number receiving unit 26 receives a purchase authentication number input by the user from the medicine vending machine 3 to receive a request for purchasing the medicine.

The payment processing unit 27 provides medicine purchase information (medicine and price) approved by a pharmacist with respect to the received purchase authentication number, and receives and processes user payment information. The payment information of the user is information for processing a mobile phone payment, credit card payment, account transfer.

Here, if the payment processing unit 2 does not sell some or all of the medicines approved by the pharmacist by examining the inventory of the medicine vending machine 3, the position of the nearby medicine vending machine 3 selling some or all medicines After guiding the user can process the user's payment according to the user's selection.

On the other hand, the drug server 2 as described above, when the user's purchase of the drug is completed, it is also possible to send an SMS using the user's phone number of taking the medicine and side effect information.

Furthermore, the medicine server 2 may automatically approve a user's medicine purchase application instead of the pharmacist's approval. Of course, it is also possible to pre-designate a drug that can be automatically approved. For example, if the user does not have a purchase history of the same drug for the period specified in the drug for the drug that the user applied for purchase, it is determined that the approval of the pharmacist is not necessary to automatically approve the purchase. If the drug vending machine 3 receives the user's application for drug purchase and automatically approves, the process of receiving and inputting the purchase authentication number SMS may be omitted.

<2. Method composition>

Approval of the pharmacist and the drug sales method using the drug vending machine according to an embodiment of the present invention can be preferably realized through the construction of the above-described drug sales system (1).

4 is a schematic flowchart of a method for selling medicines in an embodiment of the present invention.

The user who wants to purchase the medicine through the drug vending machine 3 due to the pharmacy closed or otherwise, requests the purchase of the medicine to the medicine server 2 using the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4. . After the user is verified, the user inputs symptoms according to the instructions and then applies to purchase medicine.

The identity verification unit 21 of the medicine server 2 receives user information from the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4 and performs identity verification (S21). The user can select a specific authentication method from among mobile phone authentication, credit card authentication and public certificate authentication.

In the case of mobile phone authentication, the user authentication unit 21 authenticates the subscriber of the mobile communication company through the mobile communication company server with the user's name, social security number and mobile phone number. If the subscriber authentication is successful, a unique personal identification number is generated and sent to the mobile terminal by SMS. And the identity verification unit 21 receives the user identification number entered by the user and compares with the previously stored personal identification number and stores the result of the identity verification as a success. If the identity verification fails, the identity verification section 21 transmits the authentication result to the medicine vending machine 3 or the user terminal 4, and the user's medicine purchase is not allowed.

If the authentication is successful, the purchase request receiving unit 22 guides the symptom input page to receive the user's purchase request information including the symptom selected by the user and stores the information in the DB (S22).

In this case, the user purchase application information received by the purchase request receiving unit 22 may further receive medicine information and pharmacist information desired to be purchased by the user's selection. In addition, when a user applies for drug purchase using the user terminal 4, location information of the drug vending machine 3 selected by the user may be further included in the user purchase application information.

Upon receiving the user's drug purchase request, the purchase approval request unit 23 analyzes the received application information and transmits the user's purchase request to the user's selected pharmacist terminal 5 or the default pharmacist terminal 5 to approve the pharmacist. Request (S23). The medicine server 2 manages information of pharmacists to be assigned to the purchase application of the user. In addition, the purchase approval request unit 23 provides the user's purchase application information, drug information and the like at the request of a pharmacist.

Here, the purchase approval request unit 23 inquires the member information with the user's input information, and then adds information such as the user's age, gender, physical information, etc. to the received drug purchase application information of the pharmacist terminal (5) To send).

After the purchase approval request unit 23 requests the purchase approval to the pharmacist terminal 5, if the approval of the pharmacist is not answered every predetermined period, the user may further transmit the drug purchase application information to the subordinate pharmacist terminal 5. There is (S231). This additional transmission reduces the waiting time for the user to wait for the pharmacist's approval response. Subordinate pharmacists are preferably assigned to current pharmacists, and it is of course possible to assign a plurality of subordinate pharmacists to reduce response time.

Thereafter, when the pharmacist terminal 5 receives the user's application for drug purchase, the pharmacist designates the appropriate medicine with reference to the user's symptoms, the desired drug, the vending machine 3 to be used, and the like. If a user applies for the purchase of a drug as a non-replaceable drug, the pharmacist cannot change the drug to another alternative drug and only inputs the approval.

When the pharmacist requests the past drug purchase history in the process of reviewing the drug purchase application of the user, the purchase history provider 231 receives the history information of the drug purchase from the purchase history server 6 to the pharmacist terminal (5) Provided by (S232). Therefore, the pharmacist approves the purchase by designating the appropriate medicine with reference to the user's symptoms, physical specificities, and past drug purchase history.

Here, the pharmacist terminal 5 receives the medicine group corresponding to the symptoms of the user from the purchase approval request unit 23, and designates a specific medicine in the provided medicine group. Whenever a pharmacist selects a particular medicine, the purchase approval request unit 23 provides the pharmacist terminal 5 with the stock quantity of the medicine held by the medicine vending machine 3 to be used by the user. For example, whenever the pharmacist terminal 5 designates an individual medicine, the purchase approval request unit 23 receives the designated medicine information, and then the medicine vending machine 3 or the medicine vending machine 3 in the vicinity of the vicinity is held. The inventory information of the medicine is to be provided to the pharmacist terminal (5).
