The reference setting is adjusted according to the medicine information, the dosing time, the dosage amount, and the dosing methods of the medicine dispenser. In particular, the counter 21, the sensor 22 and the LED display unit 25 must be initialized. The reference setting operation is performed by recognizing the position of the cigarette from the detection value of the sensor 22 that senses the cigarette lid opened and closed sequentially under the control of the CPU to be described later. The LED display unit 25 is controlled to display the number of doses of the medicine contained in the medicine dispenser, and the reference setting is performed so that the LED flashing operation of the LED display unit 25 is performed at the dosing time of the medicine.

The smart medication guidance case of the present invention includes a configuration of a control unit including the CPU 30. [ The CPU 30 manages all the structures described below, accurately determines the information of the medicine to be consumed by the patient, and controls the medicine administration of the patient based on the determined information of the medicine. Under the control of the CPU 30, the patient's taking state information is transmitted to the external system.

Accordingly, all of the electrical configurations of the smart medication guidance case of the present invention are controlled by the management unit, and the CPU 30 is a configuration for controlling the overall operation. Therefore, all the components in the CPU 30 and the management unit are electrically connected.

The smart drug guidance case of the present invention includes a first communication module (34) for transmitting information on the amount of drug consumption taken by a patient to an external system. The first communication module 34 receives the medicine medication instruction information of the patient from the outside or transmits the taking state information ingested by the patient under the control of the CPU 30 to the outside. The first communication module 34 may be configured to enable long-distance communication, but may be configured to allow short-range communication with other communication devices located in at least a certain space.

The smart medication guidance case of the present invention is a smart medication guidance case that can be used for various kinds of information necessary for systematically managing a patient's medication such as a medication instruction amount instructed by an administrator, a medication dose consumed by a patient, And a first storage module 40 for storing algorithms and the like. The first storage module 40 stores various kinds of information used as basic information for judging various operations of the smart medication guidance case of the present invention. That is, control values for controlling the zero point of the sensor 22, medication map information indicated by the administrator, information about drugs contained in each medicine bottle 15, and control algorithms corresponding thereto are stored. Of course, the information storage and information reading of the first storage module 40 is performed under the control of the CPU 30. [

 And a notification module 38 for informing the patient of the medicine taking time and the like by an audio signal that the patient can hear. The battery 31 includes a battery 31 for charging and discharging the battery 31. The battery 31 is charged from an external power source so that the battery 31 can be used.

The smart drug guidance case of the present invention having the above-described configuration is configured to check the medication instruction information according to the state of the patient, and to guide the display control and the taking of the medication instruction information. The patient's medication indication information is provided from an external system.

When minimizing the electrical elements constituting one end of the smart drug guidance case of the present invention, configurations such as the notification module 38 and the storage module 40 are configured to use the functions already provided in the smartphone But also in one embodiment. That is, when the smartphone receives an intermediate function between the smart medication guidance case and the external system, the smart phone can perform the present invention by using a storage function, a notification function, a signal counter function, It is possible to carry out.

Hereinafter, an operation procedure for systematically managing the patient's medication administration through the smart medication instruction case according to the present invention and confirming the administration to the administrator will be described.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating an operation of the smart medication map case according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the CPU 30 initializes the connected canal connection modules 27, 28, ... 29. In this configuration, stored values or display values of the sensor 22, the counter 21, the LED display unit 25, and the like included in all the medicine container connecting modules are initialized. That is, the values of the electrical configurations used to monitor the patient's medication use are initialized (step 100). In step 103, a signal connection using an external system, such as a wired connection, a wireless connection, and a local area network, is enabled through the first communication module 34. In step 103, a connection to the Bluetooth of the smartphone is controlled.

The smartphone performs control to transmit the medication map information provided from the external system to the smart medication guidance case of the present invention when the smart medication guidance case of the present invention is connected to the communication state. Accordingly, the first communication module 34 receives the drug information from the smartphone (step 106).

The CPU 30 stores the medication map information received in step 106 in the first storage module 40 and analyzes the signal to perform necessary control. For example, the information on the medicine to be contained in each medicine holding space 15 provided in the smart medication instruction case is confirmed, and the number of doses (quantity) of the medicine is confirmed. And controls the LED display unit 25 so that the number of times of one-time dosing is displayed. At this time, it is natural that the number of doses to be dosed is displayed on the lid part for opening / closing the weak holding space 15 based on the medicine information contained in each weak holding space 15. With this operation, a target value setting process for each weak holding space 15 of the smart medication guidance case is performed (Step 109).

In step 109, an opening and closing operation of the lid part 20 is performed, and the opening and closing operation of the lid part 20 is detected through the sensor 22, thereby recognizing the position of the nearest lid. Then, from the medication instruction information, various kinds of information necessary for the patient to take the medicine, such as the information of the medicines to be contained in the medicine dispenser, the medication taking time, the medication taking amount, the medicine dosing amount, , And performs necessary reference setting control accordingly. It is possible to control the display of the LED display unit 25 with respect to the dose amount. The display of the dose amount can be controlled so that the operation of blinking the corresponding LEDs at a time point (time) to be taken is repeatedly displayed. Such a reference setting process is repeatedly performed in sequence as many as the number of smart medication instruction cases configured according to the characteristics of the patient.

Thereafter, the CPU 30 senses the opening operation of the lid 20 and monitors whether the patient has taken the medicine. That is, the patient opens the lid of the specific position of the smart drug guidance case and takes out a certain amount of medicine from the drug-containing space. When this operation is performed, the opening operation of the lid part 20 is detected through the sensor 22, and the CPU 30 detects that the signal detected through the sensor 22 is in a certain holding space 15 It is determined whether it is a corresponding signal (step 112, step 115). The above operation is performed by determining which lid 20 has operated from the detection signal of the sensor 32 and checking the position of the weak holding space 15 located at the lower end of the lid 20, (Step 118).

The CPU 30 controls the medicine taking counter 21 to increase the counter value assigned to the corresponding weakening space 15 (step 121).

When all of the above processes are performed, the CPU 30 collectively collects the patient's use state information detected by each of the weak connection modules, and transmits the information to the outside through the first communication module 34 ). The smartphone may receive the dispatch signal of step 124 and transmit the patient's dose state information to the external system and may provide the dispensing state information as display information so that it can be confirmed to the user. The transfer of the dosing state information in step 124 is preferably performed at the time of taking each drug. This is because the time point at which the dose state information is transmitted can also be used as basic information for confirming the dose time. The dosing status information includes information on the medicament, the time of taking the medicament, the amount of the medicament, and the like.

The above process, on the other hand, merely describes the actions to be performed in the smart drug guidance case. That is, in the smart medication guidance case of the present invention, in a state in which different kinds of medicines are contained in each separated medicament space 15, a dose amount of the medicines is controlled to be displayed on each lid portion 20 . Further, the opening of any lid part 20 is detected through the sensor 22, confirming that the medicine has been taken, and accumulating the number of doses accordingly. Then, dose status information about the drug is transmitted to the smartphone.

When such a process is performed, the smart drug guidance case of the present invention must provide appropriate medication notification to the patient. Therefore, the smart drug guidance case of the present invention can control the LEDs installed in the display unit 25 of the drug-immersion space 15 to be lit, at the time when the patient needs to take any medicine. In this case, it is also possible to check the medicine taking time and to control so that the LED of the display unit 25 containing the medicine corresponding to the time is turned on.

When the amount of one dose of the LED display unit 25 is controlled by the LED blinking operation at the time of taking the drug of the medicine bottle, the smartphone also analyzes the corresponding drug indication information, And so on.

In addition, the smart drug guidance case of the present invention can perform a process of confirming whether the time point of taking the drug and the dose amount at the time when the patient has to take any medicine. In this case, it is controlled by an operation of confirming which drug should be taken at the time of taking the medicine and monitoring whether the lid containing the medicine is opened by the detection signal of the sensor 22. When performing this operation, information on the medicine to be taken at the current time can be confirmed based on the dose instruction information, and the information about the medicine that the patient is taking now can be detected from the sensor 22. [ If the two pieces of information thus obtained are different, the CPU 30 can generate a warning audio signal through the notification module 38 before the patient is taken. It is also possible to control the display portions of the medicine dispenser as a whole so as to display the warning comment. It is preferable that such control is performed under the control of the CPU 30, and the basic information is stored in the first storage module 40 in advance.

In addition, the smart drug guidance case of the present invention can variably control the display information of the LED display unit 25 based on the medication map information transmitted through the smartphone. For example, the type and amount of the patient's medication can be varied according to the progress of the treatment. Accordingly, when the thus-generated medication map information is transmitted to the smart medication map case through the smart phone, the CPU can check the medication map information necessary for the current medical procedure and control the display unit to be controlled accordingly. The medication map is stored in the first storage module and is provided to the patient based on the stored value.

Such control is preferably performed in a smart phone that transmits the dosing information between the smart medication guidance case and the external system. That is, when the medication time of the patient is reached in the external system, a push alarm is provided to the patient in terms of the number of medications and the number of medications, and a medication history is constructed so that the patient's medication history can be inquired. The signals according to such control are received from the smartphone and transmitted to the smart medication guidance case.

4A and 4B illustrate an operation flow for systematically managing a patient's medication use in a smartphone using a smart medication guidance case according to an embodiment of the present invention.

And FIG. 5 shows a simplified control structure of a smartphone for managing medication of a patient using the smart medication guidance case of the present invention. The control configuration of the illustrated smart phone shows only the configuration required in explaining the operation of the present invention.

The smart phone includes a signal input unit and a display unit 58 for displaying user information and notification information to the user. And a second controller 50 for controlling the operation of the smartphone and performing the control operation of the present invention. The second communication unit 52 shown in the figure is configured to perform short-range communication with the smart medication guidance case of the present invention, and the third communication unit 54 performs wireless communication with the external system. And a second storage unit 56 are included.

The second controller 50 of the smartphone having the above-described configuration drives an application for managing the medication of the patient using the smart medication guidance case of the present invention (operation 200). Then, the second communication unit 52 controls the Bluetooth connection with the smart medication guidance case (step 203) and fetches the patient's medication information from the external system through the third communication unit 54 (step 206)

Step 206 may be provided by a push operation in an external system or may be read from an external system at the request of a user. In order to perform this operation, it is preferable that the external system is configured to DB and store the medication information for the patient under the control of the administrator, and to provide the medication information for the patient when necessary. Of course, in this case, it is naturally necessary to confirm the user information so that only the medication information for the patient can be provided.

In step 209, it is determined whether an operation such as a change or addition is needed for the medicine information to be contained in the smart medication guidance case in the medication information read in step 206. That is, the control unit 50 recognizes the entire control operation for the smart medication guidance case from the medication information previously confirmed, and confirms whether there is any new content in the medication information inputted in the step 209. [

If it is determined in step 209 that the drug information of the smart medication guidance case needs to be changed or added, the value stored in the second storage unit 56 is changed based on the determined information (step 212). In step 215, the second controller 50 transmits the control information as described in step 212 to the smart medication guidance case through the second communication unit 52.

As a result of the above process, the smartphone transmits the control information according to the medication guidance to the smart medication guidance case. The smart medication map case receives the medication map control information transmitted from the smart phone in the above process and controls the smart medication map case accordingly. In one example, the drug information contained in any drug-weakening space 15 may be changed and the amount of one dose of drug contained in any drug-weakening space 15 may be changed.

Next, the second control unit 50 monitors whether or not the dose information according to the patient taking the medicine from the smart medication guidance case is received. That is, the patient continuously takes a drug and continuously monitors whether or not the dose information for an arbitrary drug is received from the smart drug guidance case (step 218). If medication information is sent by SmartPhone to the SmartPhone Guidance Cases in accordance with the time of day when the medication is different or when the patient is taking the medication, monitor whether the corresponding information is received.

When the dose information is received in step 218, the time when the dose information is received is acquired and stored (step 221). Then, information on the drug is confirmed, and the number of doses of the drug is cumulatively counted (Step 224).
