The prescription vending machine 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention may be formed in the form of a conventional vending machine as shown in FIG. 1, and scan a prescription issued by a doctor and based on this, the prescription module 160 You can automatically dispense drugs and sell them.

The scanner 120 may scan a QR code of a prescription, an ID card, and the like. Here, a QR code containing prescription drug information is printed on the prescription, and the QR code also contains prescription verification information. That is, the QR code contains information on whether the scanned prescription is a normally issued prescription and patient information.

As shown in FIG. 3, the communication unit 130 communicates with the remote health insurance company server 300 and the credit card payment company server 400 and the Internet 200 to provide a unique number of a prescription, a doctor's license number, and a drug code. In addition, it is possible to check the information on whether the patient information written on the prescription and the patient information recognized by the ID card and the patient information stored in the Health Insurance Corporation server 300 match.

Meanwhile, the communication unit 130 may verify patient information based on biometrics as well as an identification card input through the scanner 120. For example, the communication unit 130 may store a certificate into which code information encoding the subscriber's biometric information (iris, fingerprint, face, etc.) is inserted, and the biometric information of the patient recognized by the sensing means is stored as the subscriber's biometric information. Biometric authentication can be performed compared to.

At this time, of course, the display unit 150 may be configured as a touch pad and used as an input means.

The dispensing module 160 is a module for automatically dispensing prescribed drugs by separating them into a drug bag by time of administration and by day of administration, and as an example, registered patent No. 10-1646848 (drug dispensing system and its control method Known techniques as shown in) can be used.

The controller 110 controls each part or each module to supply the prepared medicine to the patient.

For example, when a patient puts a prescription issued by a doctor into the scanner 120, the scanner 120 scans the unique number of the prescription, the doctor's license number, the drug code and patient information through the QR code printed on the prescription. Thus, it can be provided to the controller 110.

In addition, when the patient continuously puts his or her ID card into the scanner 120, the scanner 120 allows the image of the ID card to be input from the controller 110, and the controller 110 uses the image to receive the patient's name. And information such as resident registration number is extracted.

The controller 110 outputs the information extracted from the prescription and the identification card to the communication unit 130, and the communication unit 130 may transmit the information to the remote health insurance service server 300 through the Internet 200.

The NHIS server 300 can check whether the prescription is normally issued based on the information extracted from the received prescription and the ID card, and whether the drug recorded in the prescription and the prescription drug of the corresponding patient registered in the Health Insurance Agency server 300 are the same. In addition, it is determined whether the patient extracted from the ID card is a registered patient and whether it is the same as the patient information extracted from the prescription, and if the same, the approval information can be transmitted to the controller 110 through the Internet 200. .

When the controller 110 receives approval information from the Health Insurance Corporation server 300, it outputs information on the payment amount of the drug fee through the display unit 150 so that the patient can see this and select a payment method.

That is, the controller 110 allows various payment methods such as credit card or cash or mileage to be selected, and when the card or cash is input through the payment module 140, the controller 110 performs a payment procedure. At this time, the payment module 140 is the same as a general card, cash input and read device. For example, in the case of cash, change is discharged, and in the case of a credit card, the payment information is transmitted to the payment company server 400 through the communication unit 130 and the Internet 200.

Thereafter, when receiving payment approval information from the payment company server 400, the controller 110 outputs a control command to the dispensing module 160 so that the drug can be automatically prepared according to the prescription details of the prescription. This preparation module 160 may use the known techniques mentioned above.

On the other hand, the controller 110 reads the drug description information stored in the internal memory and information on the medication method recorded in the prescription and outputs it through the display unit 150 to provide a medication guide to the patient.

Meanwhile, the controller 110 may be equipped with artificial intelligence to generate a personalized health management report for information extracted from a prescription and an identification card, and output it through the display unit 150.

For example, the controller 110 may match health management reports such as health issues and health management methods for each item such as a drug code that can be extracted from a prescription and an ID card, and patient age, and store them as learning data. Learning data can be trained using a neural network. Here, the controller 110 may adopt a Deep Belief Network (DBN) model as a deep learning model. The deep trust neural network is a generative deep learning model, built by stacking the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (RPM) and the sigmoid belief network. The deep trust neural network is a deep learning model that is widely used because it has the advantage of faster processing speed compared to other deep learning models because it takes a short time for actual training because it performs pre-learning. The controller 110 may periodically update the learning data from the Health Insurance Corporation server 300 through the Internet 200.

The controller 110 may define each item of information such as a drug code and a patient's age as one segment. The controller 110 may build a deep learning model in which stored learning data is learned by targeting each item, such as health issues and health management methods, included in the health management report for each defined plurality of segments. Such a deep learning model will be able to output a health management report for information such as input drug code and patient age.

The controller 110 outputs the health management report output from the deep learning model through the display unit 150 so that the patient can check it. In addition, according to the patient's request, the health management report may be transmitted to the patient's personal terminal through the Internet 200.
