5 is a flowchart schematically illustrating a remote preparation method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

First, the user's prescription information (including the user's name, resident registration number, and prescription content) is transmitted to the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600 (S100).

At this time, the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600 receives the prescription information and a signal or message indicating that the pharmacy station 600 is selected. Here, the prescription information may be a scan of the prescription itself, a scan of a code (e.g., a QR code, a bar code) containing prescription details printed on a prescription, or a prescription itself.

Meanwhile, the prescription information of the user is basically transmitted to the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600 through the app of the user terminal 100. Of course, if necessary, the hospital server 500 may transmit the prescription information of the user to the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600, or the service server 300 may transmit the prescription information of the user to the pharmacy station 600, To the server 700 of FIG.

The pharmacy 600 may also be the pharmacy that the user has selected to receive the pharmaceutical product. For example, if a user already has a pharmacy that is already doing well and does not want to change to another pharmacy, the user will choose a pharmacy that he or she would like to receive. Even in this case, the user may set an area or the like to be received at the terminal 100 and select the pharmacy to receive the pharmacy from among the pharmacies in the set area. If, on the other hand, you want to compare pharmacy-specific prices, you can select a pharmacy (600) to receive pharmacies that offer pharmaceuticals at the desired price after comparing pharmacy-specific prices.

After the user's prescription information is transmitted to the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600, settlement between the user and the pharmacy station 600 is performed (S110). That is, the pharmacy server 700 sends a message (for example, a payment amount, an account number, etc.) requesting payment to the user, and the user confirms the message and makes settlement.

After the settlement is completed normally, the pharmacy station 600 performs remote preparation according to the prescription of the user (S120).

When the remote preparation is completed, the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600 transmits a message informing that the preparation is completed to the user (S130). For example, the preparation completion message may be notified by a push alarm or the like through the application, or may be notified to the user (patient) through the beacon 800 if the user is located in a short distance where the beacon signal can be received.

Accordingly, the user visits the pharmacy 600 and receives pharmaceuticals (S140, S150). Since the beacon 800 is installed in the pharmacy station 600 for performing the local communication with the user terminal 100, the user can recognize the visit when the user comes near the pharmacy station 600. Accordingly, the pharmacy server 700 can display the visit of the user on a display device (not shown) separately provided to the pharmacy 600 or inform the portable terminal of the pharmacist. Accordingly, the pharmacist provides the pharmaceuticals of the user that the user has already prepared before the user visits. In other words, the pharmacy server 700 notifies the pharmacist of the user's visit to the pharmacy, thereby allowing the pharmaceutical agent to be provided to the user through user authentication through the face of the user and the pharmacist.

The user can receive the pharmaceutical preparation in a non-confrontational manner, not in the face-to-face manner between the user and the pharmacist. For example, a pharmacy locker (not shown) capable of storing a pharmaceutical product can be installed in the pharmacy 600, and a pharmacy server 700 can be used to directly perform the user authentication after the pharmacy locker . Here, for user authentication, the pharmacy server 700 may store a personal authentication code for each user in advance, and a scanner or an NFC tag reader may be installed in the pharmaceutical locker. Thus, when a user places a QR code, a barcode, an NFC tag, or the like containing his / her personal authentication code in a scanner or an NFC tag reader of a pharmaceutical locker or in a short distance, the pharmaceutical locker is linked to the pharmacy server 700 User authentication can be performed. When the user authentication is normally completed, the pharmaceutical locker can discharge the pharmaceutical product of the user or open the door of the compartment containing the pharmaceutical preparation. Thereby, the user can receive his / her pharmaceutical preparation at any time (even at the pharmacy holiday) without confrontation with the pharmacist. Although a pharmaceutical locker is not shown in the drawing, it is understood that a person engaged in the same kind of industry can fully understand the connection relation between the pharmaceutical locker and the pharmacy server 700 and the composition of the pharmaceutical locker according to the known technology and the above description.

In the future, pharmaceuticals can be dispensed, and in the case of a pharmacy holiday, a pharmacist will be able to give an image of the drug to a patient who came to a pharmacy locker.

In the above description of FIG. 5, the user visits the pharmacy to receive the pharmaceutical preparation, but it is also possible to deliver the pharmaceutical preparation to the user. For example, a person can deliver, or a drone can deliver. In this case, the drug should be handed over after user authentication (personal authentication), so that equipment such as a scanner and an NFC tag reader should be installed in the drones and the vendor's equipment.

As described above, the present invention basically can be said that a user (patient) who receives a prescription remotely transmits prescription information through an app to a server 700 of a pharmacy 600 to which the prescription information is to be visited, . In addition, the present invention allows a user to send a signal or message indicating completion of dispensing to a user, and to provide a pharmaceutical product when the user recognizes that the user has visited the drugstore through short-distance communication. If the pharmacist informs the pharmacist that the user (patient) has visited the pharmacy, the pharmacist can respond to various customers more effectively, thereby improving the quality of the service.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a remote preparation method according to an alternative embodiment of the present invention. 6 illustrates an example in which a user requests a pharmaceutical price for each pharmacy.

First, the service server 300 receives the prescription information from the user terminal 100 or the hospital server 500 and stores the prescription information in the database 400 (S10). Here, the prescription information may be information obtained by scanning a code (e.g., a QR code, a bar code) containing a prescription description printed on a prescription, or may be information transmitted by taking a picture of the prescription itself.

Then, the service server 300 transmits the stored prescription information to the respective pharmacies. More specifically, the prescription information is transmitted to each pharmacy server 700 and temporarily stored (S12). Of course, the user (patient) may visit the pharmacy directly with a prescription, at which time the prescription may be scanned and sent to the service server 300. In this case, the service server 300 will not need to transmit the prescription information to the pharmacy again. Transmission of the prescription information in step S12 to the pharmacy server 700 does not transfer prescription information to all the pharmacy servers 700 in the country but allows the user to select the area to receive the pharmaceuticals, It would be desirable to send prescription information to pharmacy pharmacy servers only. It is understood that the person skilled in the same industry can fully comprehend with the know-how.

Then, each pharmacy server 700 calculates the preparation price for each prescription based on the received prescription information (which may include the name of the medicine of the non-payment item) (S14). Here, the information including the preparation price calculated by each pharmacy server 700 (that is, preparation price information) is transmitted to the service server 300. In calculating the price of the preparation, there may be a non-payment item in the case of a pharmaceutical product, and the selling price may be different for each drug product in the non-payment item. Accordingly, each pharmacy will calculate the contribution of the patient considering the non-payment item, so that the price to be calculated for each pharmacy may be different.

The service server 300 transmits preparation price information and pharmacy information from each pharmacy server 700 to the corresponding user terminal 100 in step S16.

The user selects a pharmacy best suited to his / her situation based on pharmaceutical price information and pharmacy information displayed on his / her terminal 100 (S18). For example, a user may choose a pharmacy with the lowest price of the drug even though the pharmacy is a little bit different. On the one hand, you can choose a pharmacy that is not related to the preparation price, but is closest to your location. The criteria for selecting a pharmacy can be variously different from the above examples.

When a user selects one of the pharmacies 600 (S18), a pharmacy selection signal from the user terminal 100 is transmitted to the service server 300. [ Accordingly, the service server 300 generates a notification message including a pharmacy selection signal and transmits the notification message to the server 700 of the pharmacy station 600 (S20). Here, the notification message including the pharmacy selection signal includes user information (e.g., name, contact number, etc.).

Then, the pharmacy server 700 sends a message (for example, a payment amount, an account number, etc.) requesting payment to the user.

Thereafter, the pharmacy server 700 makes a remote preparation based on the prescription information of the user (S24) when the payment is completed ("Yes" in S22). At this time, the pharmacy server 700 may transmit a message instructing the pharmacist of the pharmacy 600 to perform remote preparation according to prescription information. For example, the pharmacy server 700 may send a message instructing the pharmacy server 700 to perform remote preparation according to prescription information to a portable terminal (not shown) of the pharmacist or may be provided in the pharmacy 600 And displayed on a display device (not shown). Accordingly, the pharmacist of the pharmacy 600 performs the remote preparation based on the prescription information.

When the remote preparation is completed, the pharmacy server 700 transmits a message informing that the preparation has been completed to the user (S26). For example, the preparation completion message may be notified by a push alarm or the like through the application, or may be notified to the user (patient) through the beacon 800 if the user is located in a short distance where the beacon signal can be received.

Thereafter, when the user passes through the pharmacy station 600 or visits the pharmacy station 600 ("Yes" in S28), the pharmacy server 700 connected to the beacon 800 automatically recognizes the visit of the user. Then, the pharmacy server 700 notifies the pharmacist of the pharmacy 600 (S30). In this case, the visiting of the user can be informed to the portable terminal of the pharmacist or displayed on the display device (not shown) provided in the pharmacy 600 separately from the portable terminal.

Accordingly, the user visiting the pharmacy 600 can receive the pharmaceutical preparation (S32).

In the embodiment of the present invention described above with reference to FIG. 6, each pharmacy server 700 calculates prepara- tion prices on the basis of prescription information, and the service server 300 collects them and sends them to the user terminal 100 Respectively. This is because it is the quickest and most accurate way to calculate the price of the drug at the pharmacy, because there may be drugs in the non-payment category among the drugs to be prepared and the sales prices of the drugs in the non-payment categories differ. If the information about various medicines (that is, the sales price of medicines in non-medicines by pharmacy) is stored in the database 400 and the service server 300 utilizes the information of the database 400, And the service server 300 may perform all of the preparation price transfer to the user terminal 100 by the pharmacy. In the case of performing the calculation of the preparation price for each pharmacy in the above-described service server 300 and the transmission of the preparation price for each pharmacy to the user terminal 100, there may be a slight time difference from the actual update in the pharmaceutical information, This may be different from the actual.

The above-mentioned FIG. 6 assumes that the user requests the pharmaceutical price for each pharmacy. If the user does not need to request the pharmacy price, that is, The above-described method as shown in FIG. 5 may be employed.

As described above, an optimal embodiment has been disclosed in the drawings and specification.
