Abstract

La présente invention concerne un procédé de repérage et de surveillance de l'utilisation du contenu d'un paquet. Le procédé de surveillance d'une utilisation est effectué au moyen d'un mécanisme de comptage qui fait partie intégrante du paquet ou du matériau de conditionnement dans une forme de réalisation ou qui se présente, dans d'autres formes de réalisation, sous forme d'une unité indépendante qui est collée sur le paquet ou fixée de différentes manières sur le matériau de conditionnement. Ce mécanisme donne à l'utilisateur des informations importantes concernant sa manière de consommer le contenu d'un paquet telles que le jour et le moment où il consomme, le nombre d'unités prises et s'il a consommé le contenu ou une partie de ce dernier à un moment quelconque.
