Referring to FIG. 6, the client terminal 2 (104) as a patient side first accesses the electronic prescription service apparatus 300 to register biometrics information or biometrics information of a patient and an encryption key value as patient authentication information at the same time (S600 ). When the electronic prescription is generated by the client terminal 1 (102), the generated electronic prescription is transmitted from the client terminal 1 (102) to the electronic prescription service apparatus 300 (S602).

The electronic prescription service apparatus 300 receiving the electronic prescription transmits the electronic prescription to the client terminal 2 (104) (S604). Accordingly, the client terminal 2 104 serving as the patient terminal can store and display the received electronic prescription. The patient using the client terminal 2 104 visits the pharmacy and stores the electronic prescription stored in the client terminal 2 (104) To the client terminal 3 (104) which is the client terminal.

At this time, the client terminal 3 (104), which is a pharmacy terminal, requests the electronic prescription service apparatus 300 to inquire the electronic prescription to perform identification and authentication of the patient (S506). At this time, the client terminal 3 (106) transmits information indicating that the patient having the client terminal 2 (104) is in the visiting state to the pharmacy when the electronic prescription inquiry is requested.

The electronic prescription service apparatus 300 which has received the electronic prescription inquiry request from the client terminal 3 106 confirms that the patient who owns the client terminal 2 104 is inside the pharmacy and requests the client terminal 3 106 for authentication (S508). The electronic prescription service apparatus 300 transmits a text message including the pharmacy information and the prescription information, requests predetermined information from various biometric information of the patient, and may additionally request an encryption key value. The encryption key value may include, for example, a resident registration number, an authorized certificate password, a terminal unique number input, and an inputted electronic prescription password.

The client terminal 3 106, which is a pharmacy terminal, recognizes the biometric information from the patient through the biometric unit 406 of the authentication information input unit 404 interlocked or mounted. When the request is additionally requested, the encryption key value input unit 408, (S510). Then, the inputted biometric information and the encryption key value of the patient are transmitted to the electronic prescription service apparatus 300 as patient authentication information (S512).

The electronic prescription service apparatus 300 compares the received authentication information of the patient with the previously registered authentication information of the corresponding patient and transmits the electronic prescription transferred from the client terminal 1 102 to the client terminal 3 106, (S516). The client terminal 3 (106) receives and stores the electronic prescription, and can display the electronic prescription to be received and stored to the outside. Accordingly, the user of the client terminal 3 (106) (e.g., pharmacist) prepares the medicine by referring to the electronic prescription.

Then, the client terminal 3 (106) receives the drug preparation completion button from the pharmacist who has completed the drug preparation, and the client terminal 3 (106) then transmits the drug preparation information to the electronic prescription service apparatus 300 (S518). In the electronic prescription service apparatus 300, the medicine code included in the medicine manufacturing information, the medication instruction information that can be provided to the patient, and the like are received and stored in the electronic prescription DB 320.

As described above, according to the present invention, when authentication for a patient is required, biometric information of a patient is inputted through a biometric device in a client terminal, user authentication is performed on the biometric information, and an electronic prescription service is performed for an authenticated patient.

While the present invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the disclosed embodiments, but is capable of various modifications within the scope of the invention. Therefore, the scope of the present invention should not be limited to the described embodiments, but should be determined by the scope of the appended claims, and equivalents thereof.

As described above, the electronic prescription service authentication system and method and the electronic prescription service authentication client terminal and apparatus using the biometric information according to the present invention can be used for the electronic prescription service, The authentication information input unit can receive the biometric information and the encryption key value from the patient and perform the authentication to provide the electronic prescription of the authenticated patient. The biometric information recognition and encryption key value input to the patient can be performed by the client terminal, So that it is suitable for receiving the manufactured medicine even when the patient has not visited the pharmacy.
