Description

A method of providing drug distribution traceability and return management services connecting pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies in the pharmaceutical supply chain.

The present invention relates to a method of providing a return management service that connects a pharmacy and a pharmaceutical company with a drug distribution traceability in a pharmaceutical supply chain, and provides a method to reduce the workload between a pharmacist and a salesperson by managing the return processing of pharmaceuticals. .

Pharmaceutical industry refers to the industry that researches and manufactures medicines, including herbal medicines for the purpose of diagnosis, treatment, alleviation, treatment, prevention, or health promotion by diagnosing various diseases of humans or animals, and in Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act. Drugs are defined. If the drug manufacturer does not properly understand the distribution status of its products, problems may occur in the safety of consumers due to poor responsiveness in the event of a return problem or a voluntary collection/forced collection situation for expiration-expired drugs, and supply chain management ( Even within supply chain management), the number of returned medicines increases even though the expiration date has not expired due to the inability to accurately predict demand.

At this time, a method of managing pharmaceuticals using RFID was researched and developed. In this regard, Korean Patent Publication No. 2017-0126322 (published on November 17, 2017), which is a prior art, includes RFID, barcode, QR code, matrix, etc. In order to manage the manufacturing, import and distribution process of pharmaceuticals, the type and number of pharmaceuticals provided to consumers in pharmacies and hospitals through the included code, and the number and types of pharmaceuticals that are disposed of in one integrated system, the manufacture, import, and supply of pharmaceuticals. , Check the quantity for return and disposal, and receive real-time or periodic reports of data on consumer information, quantity, and number of payments according to the payment of narcotics and psychotropic drugs to consumers at the pharmacy through the pharmacy, and illegal distribution of drugs. A configuration is disclosed that can block and track distribution channels.

However, the above-described configuration focuses only on the area where the history of medicines is managed using RFID, and the process of requesting a return and processing the return is not automated or systemized at all. In other words, for items that are accumulated in inventory due to sluggish sales after the drug is distributed from a pharmaceutical company to a pharmacy, when a pharmacy requests a return to a salesperson, the return processing is not immediately processed because it is linked to the business performance, but within a certain period of time. As it is handled, pharmacists sometimes forget and do not return products if they are busy with their work despite having to return them. In the case of forgetting to process returns despite the fact that the pharmacist needs to manage it well due to the variety and number of manufacturers and drugs, there are problems with the existence of drugs that are returned as returns in the history management system, but cannot actually be returned. Occurs.

An embodiment of the present invention is a method of automatically recognizing or inputting a return list and a return certificate written by hand, and managing it as digital data on the platform, and in connection with the salesperson's performance processing to handle returns that were not immediately processed. By printing a reminder for a period of time or sending it as a push message, both the pharmacist and the salesperson can recognize the returned medicine and make the return properly.Even if the salesperson is changed, the information of the salesperson is provided to the takeover as it is, and the pharmacy Also, by updating the person in charge information so that it is not modified or edited separately, the person in charge information is changed but all the management history logs are transferred, so that there is no work load caused by problems caused by insufficient information between the new person in charge and the pharmacist. In the pharmaceutical supply chain, it can provide a method of providing a return management service linking drug distribution traceability and pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies. However, the technical problem to be achieved by the present embodiment is not limited to the technical problem as described above, and other technical problems may exist.

As a technical means for achieving the above-described technical problem, an embodiment of the present invention is a step of receiving input of a return certificate data scanned or read by a pharmacist terminal and a return list input from a pharmacist terminal, inputted return certificate data and returns Transmitting the list to the salesperson terminal, and controlling the salesperson terminal to output the return certificate data and the return list on a predetermined date, and if there is no access from the salesperson terminal or the pharmacist terminal on a predetermined date, the salesperson terminal or It includes the step of transmitting a push message to the CS (Circuit Switch) network and the LTE network of the pharmacist terminal.

According to any one of the above-described problem solving means of the present invention, the return list and the return certificate written by hand are automatically recognized or managed as digital data on the platform, and are immediately linked to the performance processing of the salesperson. By printing a reminder or sending a push message for a period of time for unprocessed return processing, both pharmacists and salespersons can recognize the returned medicine and help to properly return the product.Even if the salesperson changes, the salesperson's By providing the information as it is and updating the person in charge at the pharmacy so that it is not modified or edited separately, the information in the person in charge is changed, but all the management history logs are transferred, resulting in a problem caused by insufficient information between the new person in charge and the pharmacist. Make sure you don't do anything.

2 is a block diagram illustrating a return management service providing server included in the system of FIG. 1, and FIGS. 3 and 4 are drug distribution traceability and pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies in the pharmaceutical supply chain according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is a diagram for explaining an embodiment in which a return management service that connects is implemented.

Referring to FIG. 2, the return management service providing server 300 includes an input unit 310, a transmission unit 320, a push unit 330, a return unit 340, a new transaction unit 350, and an advertisement unit 360. ), a mall management unit 370, and an information transfer unit 380.

The return management service providing server 300 according to an embodiment of the present invention or another server (not shown) operating in conjunction with at least one pharmacist terminal 100, at least one salesperson terminal 400, at least one In the case of transmitting the pharmaceutical company server 500 and the takeover terminal 600 in the pharmaceutical supply chain to track the drug distribution history and connect the pharmacy and the pharmaceutical company with a return management service application, program, app page, web page, etc., at least one The pharmacist terminal 100, at least one salesperson terminal 400, at least one pharmaceutical company server 500, and the takeover terminal 600 track the drug distribution history and connect the pharmacy and the pharmaceutical company in the pharmaceutical supply chain You can install or open a return management service application, program, app page, web page, etc. In addition, a service program using a script executed in a web browser is at least one pharmacist terminal 100, at least one salesperson terminal 400, at least one pharmaceutical company server 500, and a takeover terminal 600 It can also be driven from. Here, the web browser is a program that enables you to use the web (WWW: world wide web) service, which means a program that receives and displays hypertext described in HTML (hyper text mark-up language). For example, Netscape , Explorer, chrome, etc. In addition, the application refers to an application on the terminal, and includes, for example, an app running on a mobile terminal (smart phone).

Referring to FIG. 2, the input unit 310 may receive data of a return certificate scanned or read by the pharmacist terminal 100 and a list of returns input from the pharmacist terminal 100. At this time, the return certificate is a paper that the salesperson writes on the current post-it with a receipt that is the return certificate, and the name of the salesperson, the name of the pharmaceutical company affiliated with it, the signature, the name of the product to be returned, and the quantity, etc., are stored by the pharmacist. If it is lost or cannot be found, the return will be difficult. Therefore, the input unit 310 is in a form in which the salesperson writes the return certificate in handwriting, or writes only the signature on the handwritten or entered characters on the web page, app page, program or application of the present invention. Receive the input, and use it as evidence or evidence when a refund due to return is in progress. In other words, by making it possible to provide what was written by hand on the platform, it is possible to prevent accidents caused by loss of documents or receipts. At this time, the return certificate may be transmitted from the salesperson terminal 400 to the pharmacist terminal 100, and a handwritten receipt may be photographed and transmitted, or a return certificate, which is a receipt created on a smart device, may be transmitted. If, if the handwritten return card is photographed, the input unit 310 must extract text to record it on the platform.

To this end, an algorithm for extracting text from an image is required. For example, the input unit 310 uses an optical character algorithm when the return card data and the return list are input as an image. The salesperson information text can be read from. In addition, the input unit 310 may read the text of the return list using an optical character algorithm, and store the read sales employee information and the return list as data. For example, if a salesperson writes "return certificate, ABCD 10/20 30TX8, Jjangjeolmi Pharm, Hong Gil-dong, 2018.12.7 on the return certificate, the location and item of each area are recognized, and the data written next to the recognized item is recognized. In other words, the name of the pharmaceutical company, the name of the person in charge, the name of the returned product, and the quantity can be read together and processed into semi-structured data or structured data.

Of course, it is possible to hire a professional typist, but if the method of manually inputting and sending it to the user is inevitable, the labor cost of typists and the speed of processing the results will inevitably be delayed. Accordingly, the input can be automated by applying a process of automatically recognizing characters using an OCR engine. In order to improve the OCR recognition rate of a picture, a method of adjusting the brightness of a picture in advance may be further applied. In order to increase the character recognition rate, after performing the binarization operation for smooth separation between the background and the characters in the original image, a low-pass filter (LPF) can be applied to remove unnecessary noise generated after the operation. In order to remove lines that interfere with recognition, preprocessing may be performed by applying a strong Sobel operation to detection of a diagonal edge to remove the boundary line.

Then, character recognition proceeds, and image processing can also be used, such as grasping the contents of the image using the learned machine learning model, detecting individual objects in the image, and finding printed words. When the pharmacist terminal 100 photographs the return certificate with a camera, the input unit 310 processes the uploaded picture with OCR, and the processed data extracts items and contents by parsing Korean characters from the return certificate. Accordingly, the pharmacist can directly enter the item or the typist can easily enter the item without the input. In addition, the input unit 310 converts the 3-channel color image into a 1-channel gray image before processing the original image with OCR, removes noise from the image through Gaussian blur, emphasizes the edge of the image by sharpening, and performs morphology. Noise can be removed once more through computation (open, closed), converted into a black-and-white image through binarization, and OCR recognition processing can be performed. Of course, even if it is not the above-described method, it is possible to recognize the return card or convert it into a database in various ways.

The transmission unit 320 may transmit the input return certificate data and a return list to the salesperson terminal 400. Accordingly, the salesperson can also check which return certificate he wrote to whom and send it back to the pharmaceutical company. In addition, the transmission unit 320 is also transmitted to the pharmaceutical company server 500 so that data synchronization can occur.

The transmission unit 330 controls the salesperson terminal 400 to output the return certificate data and the return list on a predetermined date, and there is no access of the salesperson terminal 400 or the pharmacist terminal 100 on a predetermined date. In this case, a push message may be transmitted to the CS (Circuit Switch) network and the LTE network of the salesperson terminal 400 or the pharmacist terminal 100. Since it is related to the performance of salespeople, even if a pharmacy's return request comes in, the return may not be processed immediately. Waiting for about a month is normal and takes 2 to 3 months if long, so it is important to keep and manage your return slip. If a pharmacist forgets or loses this, it is difficult to remember it one by one because there are many types and numbers of pharmaceutical companies, salespeople, and drugs. Therefore, some pharmacists create a folder and store the data of the return card, but it can be difficult to manage. Accordingly, the transmission unit 330 may provide a reminder by transmitting the return certificate and the return list to both the pharmacist and the salesperson when a predetermined date or time, that is, a return processing date or time is determined or set. If the application is driven based on the application, all notifications of the application are blocked, or if the application is not started, the message may not be viewed. Accordingly, the transmission unit 330 may perform a reminder by sending a message or a call using both a CS network and an LTE network.

The return unit 340 is taken from the salesperson terminal 400 before receiving the return certificate data scanned or read by the pharmacist terminal 100 in the input unit 310 and the return list inputted in the pharmacist terminal 100 The returned goods certificate data can be transmitted to the pharmacist terminal 100. This function can be used when a return certificate needs to be issued from a distance, not when a return certificate is given directly. Of course, it does not exclude that the function can be used even if the return certificate is given in person.

The new transaction unit 350 is operated in the pharmacist terminal 100 before receiving the return certificate data scanned or read by the pharmacist terminal 100 in the input unit 310 and the return list inputted in the pharmacist terminal 100 When scanning an employee's business card, the salesperson's information can be mapped and saved with a pharmaceutical company. Existing research on business card recognition system extracts characters in images through image processing using a specific algorithm, and extracted characters are morphemes, parts of speech, phrases, and phrases, as can be seen in studies on improving business card recognition performance in mobile environments. It recognizes the object name through various character analysis such as, and classifies it by field used in the business card. The approach based on these specific algorithms and statistics can produce good performance for specific data, but it is difficult to derive an algorithm by classifying the data and extracting features directly by humans, and it cannot take into account both the diversity of images and characters. It has limitations. In other words, it is not easy to consider the number of all cases. Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, an approach is made in a deep learning method in which the accumulated data is analyzed by itself using an artificial neural network and then an answer is given.

There are many studies on character detection and recognition as a method of extracting characters in an image in the field of deep learning, and in an embodiment of the present invention, character detection using a Connectionist Text Proposal Network (CTPN) and Convolutional Recurrent Neural Networks (CRNN) are used. You can use the used character recognition. In addition, as a method of recognizing an entity name in a character, entity name recognition using, for example, BLSTM CNNs Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory Convolutional Neural Networks Conditional Random Field (CRF) may be used. First of all, in order to recognize a business card, it is necessary to process the image to recognize the characters in the image. A CTPN that detects the position of a character in an image and a CRNN model that recognizes a character in the detected region can be used. Then, the BLSTM CNNs CRF model, which recognizes the extracted characters for each individual used in the business card, can be used. In addition to text, an image such as an organization logo or a person's face may be included in the business card. Before character recognition, it is necessary to detect the position of the character in the business card. CTPN learns based on the character area of the entire image. When a character area in the image is detected, a process of recognizing the character in the corresponding area is required. Unlike CTPN, CRNN learns based on the image of the text area, not the entire image. When the characters in the image are extracted, an entity name recognition process is required to classify them for each field existing in the business card, so the BLSTM CNNs CRF model among entity name recognition models can be used, and learning is performed based on the character and the corresponding entity name. These models can extract features of images or characters using CNN and connect features using BLSTM. Of course, it is possible to recognize the business card in various ways other than the above-described method, and one embodiment of the present invention is not limited to those listed.

At this time, the new transaction unit 350, when inputting at least one type of document required for a new transaction in the pharmacist terminal 100, may transmit the input document to the pharmaceutical company server 500 of the stored pharmaceutical company. .

And, as shown in Fig. 4d, when you select any one of the chat list in Fig. 4c, a chat room is displayed. Products or drugs advertised by each pharmaceutical company may be displayed, and special price policies or advertisements for main products are displayed at the top bar. Alternatively, it may be sent as a chat message. At this time, the special price policy or advertisement of the flagship product is often set to a specific period, and this may also be set to be deleted after the period of the special price policy or the advertisement of the flagship product has elapsed. In addition, in messengers, the chat message is raised to the top due to the nature of the chat conversation, so if the special price policy is delivered as a chat message, the pharmacist has to move up the conversation and look for the special price policy. Therefore, in the case of advertisements, announcements, or messages that must be fixed and viewed, separate tabs are created or fixed to the top or bottom to be output.

Referring to FIG. 4E, in the case of a takeover, a takeover and a takeover are shown, and each information is transferred as it is, so that all chat contents of a chat room are delivered. In this case, private stories among the chat contents may be excluded under the Personal Information Protection Act, but this may vary according to embodiments. In addition, since it may be difficult for the recipient to read all of the chat texts when transferring all the chat texts, it is possible to extract keywords from the chat texts by date and organize them at a glance. In this case, the keyword may be, for example, a return, an order, an approval, a new transaction, etc., but is not limited thereto.

Referring to Figure 4f, if the pharmacist does not enter the application, the return list can not be viewed, so if there is a list that has not been processed, a push message can be sent to ask to check the return list, and conversely, a message asking the salesperson to check the pharmacy It can also be transmitted. A banner advertisement may be displayed as shown in FIG. 4G, or a return certificate may be input. As shown in Fig. 4h, not only a chat message but also a bulletin board function can be added to share a fixed upload and notice to be notified, and as shown in Fig. 4i, a list of the salespersons who are currently trading and who have not made a transaction can be displayed. .

On the other hand, when the salesperson logs in, a list of pharmacies with which the salesperson is trading may be output as shown in FIG. 4J, and a chat list of each pharmacy may be listed in a list format. This is because, unlike pharmacies, the number of salespeople is relatively large.
