[0021] The following briefly explains the terms related to the present invention.

[0022] The following will be described in conjunction with Figure 1 - Figure 2 the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet provided by the present invention.

[0023] Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet provided by the present invention, asFigure 1 As shown in the figure, the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet includes: A medicine cabinet main body 101 for storing medicines. The medicine cabinet main body may include several independent spaces for storing different medicines.

[0024] A quantum security module 102, including a quantum light source, a single-photon detector, an optical modulator, and a quantum random number generator, for the preparation, transmission, and measurement of quantum states; the quantum security module 102 can perform quantum communication in ways such as quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum secure direct communication (QSDC). When using quantum key distribution, quantum keys can be generated and distributed to ensure the communication security between the intelligent medicine cabinet and the data center or the cloud server, and the keys can be distributed through a quantum channel (such as an optical fiber or free space, etc.). When using quantum secure direct communication, it can be determined according to the protocol how the two communication parties prepare, measure, and negotiate quantum states to generate secure keys.

[0025] A processor 103, connected to the quantum security module, for controlling the processes of quantum state preparation, transmission, and measurement, and processing classical information related to quantum communication, such as the encoding of medicine information, etc., and can also be responsible for the daily operation processing of other medicine cabinets.

[0026] A communication module 104 for providing auxiliary communication during the quantum communication process to support the communication between the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet and the server. The server can include the server in the data center or the communication with the application server in the cloud. The communication module 104 can include wireless communication modules such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRa.

[0027] In addition, the battery of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet can adopt various energy storage technologies. On the one hand, it can supply power to the medicine cabinet and can also be used as a portable energy storage device to supply power to other medical electrical appliances to provide medical services anytime and anywhere.

[0028] For the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet provided by the embodiments of the present application, a quantum key is generated through the quantum security module, and then the quantum key generated by the quantum security module is used to encrypt or decrypt the data of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet to support the communication between the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet and the server, improving the security of the medicine cabinet data.

[0029] In some optional implementation manners, the quantum security module is further configured to determine how the two communication parties prepare, measure, and negotiate quantum states through the quantum secure direct communication protocol.

[0030] In some alternative implementation manners, the quantum security module is further configured to compare the measured quantum states transmitted through the quantum channel with the measurement results transmitted through the classical channel to determine whether the transmitted quantum states are intercepted. If not intercepted, quantum keys are generated according to the transmitted quantum states. In this way, even if a hacker intercepts the transmitted quantum states, the hacker cannot copy or predict the measurement results of these quantum states, and thus cannot obtain the transmitted information. The processor is further configured to encrypt or decrypt the data of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet by using the quantum keys generated by the quantum security module; the communication module is further configured to transmit the data of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet encrypted by using the quantum keys to support the communication between the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet and the server.

[0031] As an example, first, the sender (such as a server in a data center or cloud) and the receiver (such as a quantum intelligent medicine cabinet) of the encrypted information can transmit a set of random quantum states through the quantum channel. These quantum states are used to generate keys without transmitting the keys themselves. Then, the sender and the receiver can measure the transmitted quantum states and disclose their measurement results. By comparing the measurement results, it can be determined which quantum states are not intercepted by the hacker, and these quantum states are used to generate keys. Finally, the sender and the receiver can use some protocols to authenticate their keys to ensure that the keys are not interfered with or tampered with by the hacker.

[0032] In some alternative implementation manners, the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet further includes a detection module, which is used to obtain medicine information, and the medicine information includes at least one of the following: medicine name, medicine quantity, and medicine expiration date; the processor is further used to process and encrypt the medicine information by using the quantum keys generated by the quantum security module to obtain the encrypted medicine information; the communication module is further used to send the encrypted medicine information to the server for analysis and / or update.

[0033] In some alternative implementation manners, the communication module is further used to receive the storage condition information of the medicine determined by the server based on the quantum optimization algorithm; the processor is further used to adjust the internal environment parameters of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet according to the storage condition information, and generate an alarm message when the medicine is approaching expiration, and send a medicine replacement prompt message through the connected application. As an example, after the user gets a new medicine, the user can scan the medicine name through the sensor and monitoring device, and input the production date and shelf life of the medicine. The processor can process and store this information through the memory. The medicine cabinet can transmit the medicine information to the cloud for calculation through the communication module, and combine with the quantum optimization algorithm to determine the optimal storage conditions of the medicine. The warning light will alarm when the medicine is approaching expiration, and give a medicine replacement prompt through the application of the terminal connected by Bluetooth. In addition, according to the results calculated by the cloud, the medicine cabinet will automatically adjust the internal storage temperature, humidity and other environment parameters to ensure that the medicine is stored under the optimal conditions, which helps to better preserve the medicine.

[0034] Traditional medicine cabinets cannot update and monitor medicine information in real time, leading to problems such as expired medicines. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet ensures the real-time update and monitoring of medicine information through quantum encryption technology. The intelligent medicine cabinet can communicate with the data center regularly to update medicine information and provide timely medication reminders and suggestions when needed.

[0035] In some alternative implementation manners, the processor is further configured to convert the medicine information into a medicine information code; the communication module is further configured to send the medicine information code to the quantum computer, so that the quantum computer maps the medicine information code onto qubits for a quantum search algorithm to accelerate the medicine search process. The quantum computer may include a remote quantum computing center or a cloud quantum server. By entrusting the quantum computing task to the remote quantum computing center or the cloud quantum server, the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet only needs to send the necessary input data to these centers or servers and then receive the processing results. The traditional medicine cabinet has low medicine management efficiency and cannot search and manage medicines quickly and accurately, especially in an unsorted database, resulting in users being unable to find the required medicines in time when needed. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet uses a quantum search algorithm, such as the improved Grover algorithm (Grover-Long algorithm), to accelerate the medicine search process, encodes the medicine information into qubits for processing on the quantum computer, and greatly improves the efficiency of medicine search and management.

[0036] In some alternative implementation manners, the medicine cabinet body includes mechanical components for dispensing medicines; the quantum computer is further configured to execute a quantum optimization algorithm to determine a medicine dispensing plan; the processor is further configured to transfer the medicine dispensing plan to the mechanical components to perform the medicine dispensing operation. The mechanical components, such as the medicine cabinet door and the medicine dispensing mechanism, are used to actually dispense medicines. The processor controls the mechanical components and can also perform operations such as opening the cabinet and dispensing medicines according to user needs. The traditional medicine cabinet's medicine dispensing and optimization are not intelligent enough to perform optimal dispensing according to user needs. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet uses a quantum optimization algorithm (such as the quantum approximate optimization algorithm QAOA, etc.) to optimize the medicine dispensing and providing process, helps to determine the optimal solution under given conditions, and can ensure that medicines can be provided to the medication users in a timely and accurate manner.

[0037] In some alternative implementation manners, see Figure 2 , Figure 2This is another schematic diagram of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet provided by the present invention. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet further includes a moving component 206; the detection module 205 is further configured to obtain obstacle information in front of the device and the trunk and limb movement information of the user; the processor 203 is further configured to, in response to receiving a medicine-taking instruction sent by the user, control the moving component 206 according to the obstacle information and the trunk and limb movement information, so that the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet moves in front of the user. The moving component 206 may include wheels, motors, etc. The medicine-taking instruction may be issued by the user through voice or other means, or may be generated according to a preset time. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet can combine the interaction between the user interface and the processor, respond to the instruction, and automatically drive in front of the user.

[0038] In some alternative implementation manners, the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet further includes a user interface and an interaction device. The user interface is used to display medicine information and / or medication reminders, and the interaction device is used to provide user interaction services. The user interface and the interaction device, which allow the user to view medicine information, medication reminders, etc., may include a touch screen, an LED display screen, buttons, etc. The processor and the memory are also responsible for the daily operations of the intelligent medicine cabinet, user interface interaction, and storing medicine information.

[0039] In some alternative implementation manners, the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet further includes a user identification device for identifying the user of the quantum intelligent medicine cabinet. The user identification device may include identification devices such as a face and a fingerprint.

[0040] In some alternative implementation manners, the communication module is further configured to synchronize the health data of the user with the connected wearable device; the processor is further configured to determine whether to activate an emergency mode according to the health data. If it is determined to activate the emergency mode, a notification message is generated through the quantum key generated by the quantum security module to notify the user's contacts and / or a medicine distribution plan is determined according to the health data, and the medicine distribution plan is transmitted to the mechanical component to perform the medicine distribution operation. The wearable device may include devices such as a smart bracelet and a smart watch. The quantum intelligent medicine cabinet can synchronize data with the Bluetooth-connected wearable device through the communication module to obtain the user's health data, such as heart rate, blood pressure, etc., so as to take corresponding medicine-taking actions. The emergency mode may include abnormal indicators such as the user's blood pressure, blood sugar, and heart rate, or falling or fainting. In the emergency mode, the medicine cabinet ensures communication security through quantum encryption technology, contacts family members through the application connected by Bluetooth or contacts the emergency contact through the reserved phone number, and at the same time automatically takes out the corresponding medicine according to the emergency situation to ensure help is provided in the first time.
