[0003] This invention relates to the field of storage device technology, specifically to a storage box with usage and management functions. The storage box includes a partition unit, an opening sensing unit, a communication unit, and a storage box body. The partition unit divides the storage box body into two to ten compartments, each compartment not necessarily being the same size. The storage box body has compartment lids, each lid having an opening sensor. All opening sensors combine to form an opening sensing unit, which transmits an opening signal to the communication unit. The communication unit, wirelessly controlled by a smart device, periodically emits a prompt tone to remind users to open the storage box body and wirelessly transmits the opening sensing unit signal to the smart device. The unit includes a display, a communication module, and multiple input ports. The display is a liquid crystal display (LCD), specifically one of TFT, AMOLED, or LCD types. It is controlled by the communication module to display the required content and indicate when a specific storage compartment should be opened. The communication module has one or a combination of Bluetooth, BT, NB-IoT, WIFI, and 4G networks. Smart devices wirelessly set reminder times and the location of the storage compartment to be opened to the communication module. The communication module connects to the opening sensor unit via the multiple input ports, reading the opening sensor at the opening point of each compartment cover. The communication module setup steps are as follows:

[0004] S1: Pairing with smart devices: Install the APP on the smart device and pair it with the storage box using one of four methods: Bluetooth module BT, NB communication network, WIFI communication network and 4G communication network.
