It is a card connection device which enables reading of data.

The memory 20-2 stores data prepared by the automatic dispensing device 30 and the pharmacist (pharmacist) when the preparation of the medicine proceeds without abnormality, and is responsible for the overall control of the terminal of the pharmacy or the hospital dispensing room. All programs related to the control of the CPU are stored, and programs that enable a network with a health insurance institution are stored.

The display apparatus 20-3 is responsible for outputting the diagnostic result data (medicine preparation data, etc.) recorded in the smart card 10 to the terminal screen of the formulator under the control of the CPU 20-5.

The CPU 20-5 serves to control various devices for performing the overall functions of the pharmacy or the dispensing room terminal 20, and the power stabilization circuit 20-4 controls the external power (adapter, PC power, etc.). And stably drives the CPU and other peripheral circuits of the terminal 20. This circuit stabilizes the power supply using diodes, resistors, capacitors, and zener diodes to prevent instantaneous changes or pulses of the power supply.

The frequency applying circuit 20-7 is used to apply a clock for operating the CPU 20-5. A crystal oscillator is used to apply a stable frequency, and a stable frequency is connected by connecting a resistor or a capacitor. Is applied to (20-5).

The communication connection device 20-6 is used to exchange data between the automatic dispensing device 30 and the pharmacy or the dispensing room terminal 20. In the present invention, although there are various connection methods, RS232 is most commonly used. The method using communication is used. To make this data communication more stable in using this circuit, a driver called MAX232 is used. This driver matches the communication voltage between the automatic medicine dispenser and the terminal, and also helps the stable data communication by controlling the communication speed and reducing the noise.

3A to 3B are flowcharts illustrating an automatic dispensing method by transmitting medical prescription information viewed from a terminal of a pharmacy or a hospital preparation room of the present invention.

First, by inserting the smart card 10 of the individual patient in the terminal of the medical institution side, the diagnostic person (doctor) records the diagnosis result of the patient, that is, the data on the treatment / prescription / preparation.

At this time, the smart card 10 is not only already stored data such as the history of the patient's medical history (e.g. blood type allergy, etc.), the date and time of diagnosis, the diagnosis hospital, the diagnosis, the prescription medicine, the period of treatment Of course, the patient's personal information and medical insurance information is stored.

As described above, when the medical institution terminal records data on the diagnosis result of the doctor in the smart card 10 and the patient directly carries it and visits the pharmacy or the dispensary, the pharmacy or the hospital dispensing side terminal 20 is connected to the smart card ( Read the prescription data recorded in 10).

That is, when the smart card 10 in which the patient's medical information is recorded is inserted into the card recording / reading unit 20-1 of the pharmacy or hospital dispensing room terminal 20 connected to the automatic dispensing device 30, the terminal 20 is inserted. The CPU 20-5 transmits the read request signal of the data recorded on the smart card 10 to the smart card 10 (S1 to S2).

The smart card 10 receives this signal and the medical information (personal data, past medical history data, diagnosis result) of the patient recorded in the smart card by the recording / reading unit 20-1 of the smart card 10. Data, medicine preparation data, and medical insurance data) are transmitted to the CPU 20-5. Since the medical information of the patient is encrypted, the CPU 20-5 decrypts the data by reverse encryption (S3 to S4).

If the patient is prescribed in the pharmacy of the hospital, the drug is not displayed on the screen of the display device 20-3 without dispensing (S5 ~ S7), if the patient has not received the prescription CPU (20-5) ) Automatically transmits a signal requesting the preparation of the medicine through RS232 communication to the automatic preparation device 30 according to the doctor's prescription read from the smart card 10 and simultaneously transmits the data of the medicine to be prepared and displays the display device ( 20-3) to display the prescription on the screen (S8 ~ S9).

If the automatic preparation device 30 has all kinds of medicines to be prepared, the medicine corresponding to the preparation data transmitted from the pharmacy or the hospital dispensing room side terminal 20 is proceeded, and the medicine is made by the automatic preparation device 30. If the preparation proceeds without error, the prepared drug data is automatically transferred to the CPU 20-5.

Thereafter, the CPU 20-5 stores the result of the medicine data prepared in the memory of the smart card by providing the preparation state data to the smart card recording / reading unit 20-1, and then from the automatic preparation device 30. Control the drug to be discharged (S10 ~ S13).

Of course, in this case as well, the preparation state data is encrypted in advance in the CPU 20-5 so that others cannot see the medical history data of the patient in advance, thereby preventing the medical history data of the patient from being abused.

In addition, when the preparation of the medicine proceeds without abnormality by the automatic preparation device 30, the prepared medicine data is stored in the memory 20-2 of the pharmacy or the preparation room side terminal 20, and the memory is controlled by the CPU. The number of medical insurances is automatically calculated and displayed by reading the preparation result data stored in (20-2) and transmitting the result data prepared in connection with the terminal of the medical insurance institution through the network 400 to the medical insurance institution. Then eject the smart card 10 (S14 ~ S15).

Subsequently, if the automatic preparation device 30 does not have all kinds of medicines to be prepared, the types of medicines not provided in the automatic preparation device are displayed on the screen of the display device 20-3, and the formulator (pharmacist) If you want to manually prepare the drug to be administered directly to the patient to administer the drug (S16 ~ S17).

If the pharmacist selects the automatic preparation, the type of medicine to be provided in the automatic preparation device 30 is displayed again on the screen of the display device 20-3, and if all the medicines are provided by the pharmacist (pharmacist), step B is performed. It is fed back (S18 to S19).

Subsequently, in step B, the medicine corresponding to the preparation data transmitted from the pharmacy or the hospital dispensing room side terminal 20 is processed, and when the preparation of the medicine proceeds without abnormality, the medicine data prepared from the automatic preparation device 30 The control unit stores the result of the data prepared in the memory of the smart card under the control of the CPU after transferring the data to the CPU, and then controls the medicine to be dispensed from the automatic preparation device (S11 to S13).

Thereafter, the number of medical insurances is automatically calculated and displayed by transmitting data prepared in a pharmacy (or a hospital preparation room) to a medical insurance institution through a network, and then a smart card is discharged (S14 to S15).

Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes and modifications can be made without departing from the technical spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the technical scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents described in the accompanying drawings and the detailed description of the specification.
