Detailed implementation manners

[0028] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0029] It should be noted that in each specific embodiment of the present application, when it comes to the need to perform relevant processing based on data related to the characteristics of the target object such as target object attribute information or attribute information set, the permission or consent of the target object will be obtained first, and the collection, use and processing of these data will comply with relevant laws, regulations and standards. Among them, the target object can be a user. In addition, when the embodiment of the present application needs to obtain the target object attribute information, the target object's separate permission or separate consent will be obtained by means of a pop-up window or jumping to a confirmation page, etc., and after the separate permission or separate consent of the target object is clearly obtained, the necessary target object-related data for enabling the normal operation of the embodiment of the present application will be obtained.

[0030] According to existing research data, the asthma incidence rate among adults over 18 years old in my country will reach 5.5% in 2024, with a total of about 62.2 million adult patients. At the same time, there are about 8.7 million children and adolescents with asthma. With the increase of age and the deterioration of respiratory system function, the incidence of asthma in people aged 46 and above has increased significantly. According to the asthma treatment guidelines, asthma patients need to continue to use inhaled drugs to minimize the risk of acute asthma attacks, achieve good symptom control goals, and maintain normal activity levels. However, in reality, patients often forget to take medications or stop taking medications without authorization when asthma does not occur, which greatly affects the treatment effect. In order to improve patients' medication compliance and ensure the treatment effect, an effective solution is urgently needed to objectively record patients' medication use, give personalized reminders based on medication use, and include patients' relatives and friends to urge patients, especially the elderly and children, to adhere to medication. Therefore, this solution must be simple and convenient to use, and easy for the elderly and children to use.

[0031] At present, one of the common drug administration methods for asthma patients is inhalation administration through a dry powder inhaler. A dry powder inhaler is a device used to deliver micronized drug dry powder in the form of an aerosol, so that it can directly reach the respiratory tract and lungs through active inhalation by the patient, so as to prevent or treat respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

[0032] Compared with other oral or topical medications, dry powder inhalers are more complicated to operate. Many patients, especially the elderly and children, find it difficult to use them proficiently, resulting in incomplete medication records and untimely medication reminders, which in turn affects the treatment effect.

[0033] Current drug inhalers generally adopt a pure mechanical operation guidance mode. For example, the usage method is printed on the medicine shell, and the remaining medicine amount is prompted through position marks, etc. Its user interaction method has significant defects in complex medical scenarios and cannot guide users to use the inhaler well. In the prior art, the operation guidance of the inhaler relies on paper instructions and cannot provide dynamic operation guidance for patients with different cognitive levels. Although there are currently inhalers with built-in audio prompts, these inhalers can only give simple prompts (such as "beep" for medicine loading completion, "beep - beep" for insufficient medicine amount, etc.). Patients with different cognitive levels may not understand or comprehend the meaning of these prompt messages, resulting in insufficient medication guidance for patients.

[0034] On the other hand, since dry powder inhalers require continuous medication and the operation of dry powder inhalers has a relatively high threshold. Currently, the responsibility for medication falls more on the patients themselves, and it is difficult for the relatives and friends of the patients to participate well in the medication management of the patients. Especially when the relatives and friends of the patients are not often by the patients' side, the patients need to operate the dry powder inhaler with complex usage methods alone, and it is easy to have resistance emotions and behaviors, such as not taking medicine on time, hiding information about not taking medicine, etc. Therefore, how to construct a relatives and friends care system so that the relatives and friends of the patients can effectively intervene in the medication management process has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be broken through in the current inhaler technology field.

[0035] The embodiments of the present application provide a voice reminder method, a voice setting method and a system for a drug inhaler, which can give personalized voice medication reminders to users and improve the success rate and accuracy of using the inhaler.

[0036] See Figure 1 , Figure 1 As shown in, an inhaler management system 100 according to an embodiment of the present application includes an inhaler 200 and a terminal 300, where the inhaler 200 can be any type of drug inhaler, for example, it can be a dry powder inhaler or an aerosol inhaler.

[0037] The terminal can be any type of user terminal. In one embodiment, the terminal can be a mobile terminal, such as a mobile phone, a computer, a PDA, a portable intelligent device, a tablet or a wearable device (such as an XR device, a VR device, an AR device, etc.). The inhaler 200 has a communication function, and the terminal 300 can be communicatively connected to the inhaler 200.

[0038] In one embodiment, the terminal 300 can be locally communicatively connected to the inhaler 200, where the local communication connection can be a wired connection or a wireless connection, and the wireless connection can be a point-to-point wireless communication method between the inhaler 200 and the terminal 300 through Bluetooth, infrared, wifi hotspot, NFC, etc. It can also be a wireless communication method using a relay such as a wireless local area network, wifi, a router, etc.

[0039] See Figure 2 , in another embodiment, the terminal 300 can communicate with the inhaler through the cloud server 400, where the terminal 300 can be connected to the cloud server 400 in a wired or wireless manner. For example, it can communicate with a base station within the coverage area through a cellular network (such as communication modules of 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G), or communicate with the cloud server 400 in a wired or wireless broadband manner. In addition to communicating with the cloud server 400 in a wired or wireless manner, the inhaler 200 can also communicate with the cloud server 400 through a cellular network (such as communication modules of 3G, 4G, 5G, 6G).

[0040] See Figure 3 As shown, it is the system schematic diagram of the inhaler management system 100 provided by an embodiment of the present application. Among them, the inhaler 200 includes a control unit 210, a voice prompt unit 220, a first communication unit 230, and a data storage unit 240. Among them, the control unit 210 can be a CPU, a microprocessor, an application-specific integrated circuit ASIC, a system-on-chip SoC, a field-programmable gate array FPGA, etc. The voice prompt unit 220 can be a speaker or an audio output module built into the inhaler 200. The first communication unit 230 can be correspondingly set according to the communication method. For example, it can be a Bluetooth module, a wifi module, an infrared module, an RFID module, an NFC module, a cellular communication module, etc.

[0041] The terminal 300 includes a terminal controller 310, an input module 320, a recording module 330, and a second communication unit 340. Among them, the input module 320 is the human-computer interaction module of the terminal 300, and there can be different input modules 320 according to different main body types of the terminal 300. In one embodiment, the terminal 300 is a smart phone, and the input module 320 is the touch screen of the smart phone. In another embodiment, the terminal 300 is a computer, and the input module 320 is a keyboard or a mouse. In another embodiment, the terminal 300 is a smart watch, and the input module 320 is a combination of a pressure-sensitive touch screen and a physical rotating crown of the smart watch. In another embodiment, the terminal 300 is a voice interaction device (such as a smart speaker), and the input module 320 is a microphone and a voice conversion module. The recording module 330 can be a microphone or other sound collection devices. The second communication unit 340 can be correspondingly set according to the communication method, for example, it can be a Bluetooth module, a wifi module, an infrared module, an RFID module, an NFC module, a cellular communication module, etc. When the second communication unit 340 communicates with the first communication unit 230 in a local communication connection manner, the types of the second communication unit 340 and the first communication unit 230 are the same (for example, both are Bluetooth modules). When the second communication unit 340 indirectly accesses the first communication unit 230 through the cloud server 400, the types of the second communication unit 340 and the first communication unit 230 can be different. For example, the second communication unit 340 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information mentioned below to the cloud server 400 through the wifi module, and the first communication unit 230 obtains the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information sent by the cloud server 400 from the base station through the 4G communication module.

[0042] See Figure 4 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a voice reminder method for a drug inhaler, which is applied to an inhaler management system 100 as Figure 3 shown. The method includes the following steps: Step 410, the terminal obtains the medication reminder configuration information input by the user through the input module, and obtains the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the medication reminder configuration information recorded by the user through the recording module.

[0043] In this step, a user (such as the patient himself / herself, a relative or friend of the patient, or a doctor) inputs medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information through the input module 320 of the terminal 300. The terminal 300 has a built-in application for personalized medication reminder for the inhaler 200. The application can be an independent APP or a mini-program built into other software (such as a mini-program module built into a social chat software). After the user opens the application by using the terminal 300, the user inputs the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information through the input module 320. The medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information can be set step by step. That is, after setting the medication reminder configuration information for the corresponding reminder type (such as setting the reminder time and reminder frequency) according to the type of reminder to be made (such as timed medication reminder), then configure the corresponding personalized voice reminder information for it. Specifically, the recording module 330 is used to record the user's personalized voice and generate the personalized voice reminder information. The personalized voice recorded by the user can be recorded in any way suitable for the patient's cognitive level and making the patient feel kind. For example, kinship appellations, caring statements can be added to the reminder information, or the personalized voice can be recorded in the dialect that the patient can understand. For example, the personalized voice can be "Dad, it has been more than 24 hours since you took your medicine. Remember to take your inhaler on time!" or "Dad, the medicine is almost finished. Remember to buy medicine in time!", or in Henan dialect "Dad (dā), the medicine is almost finished. Remember not to forget to get the medicine!" After the terminal controller 310 of the terminal 300 obtains the voice information through the recording module, it will convert it into a personalized voice reminder information for storage. In one embodiment, the terminal controller 310 can convert the original audio information obtained by the recording module 330 into digital audio information (such as through ADPCM audio conversion) and then save or cache it (such as storing it in the bin file format that the control unit 210 of the inhaler 200 can directly execute). In one embodiment, the terminal controller 310 can perform audio conversion processing locally. In another embodiment, the audio conversion processing can be performed through the cloud server 400.

[0044] Step 420, the terminal sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the inhaler through the second communication unit.

[0045] In this step, after the terminal 300 obtains the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information, it sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the inhaler 200 through the second communication unit 340. In one embodiment, the second communication unit 340 directly sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the first communication unit 230 locally. In another embodiment, the second communication unit 340 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the cloud server 400, and the inhaler 200 then downloads the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information through the cloud service 400.

[0046] In one embodiment, the personalized voice reminder information sent by the second communication unit 340 to the inhaler 200 is compressed. Among them, it can be compressed locally by the terminal 300 and then sent to the inhaler 200. In another embodiment, it can also be that after being compressed by the cloud server 200 by the terminal 300, it is then sent to the inhaler 200. In another embodiment, it can also be that the terminal 300 sends the personalized voice reminder information to the cloud server 400, and after being compressed by the cloud server 400, it is sent by the cloud server 400 to the inhaler 200. Since the personalized voice reminder information received by the inhaler 200 is the compressed personalized voice reminder information, it can save the data volume during the transmission process and improve the data transmission efficiency.

[0047] Step 430, the control unit of the inhaler obtains the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information through the first communication unit.

[0048] In this step, the inhaler 200 obtains the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information sent by the terminal 300 through the first communication unit 230. In one embodiment, the first communication unit 230 obtains the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information sent by the first communication unit 230 through a local connection. In another embodiment, the first communication unit 230 downloads the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information sent by the terminal 300 through the cloud server 400. In one embodiment, the control unit 210 decompresses the obtained personalized voice reminder information.

[0049] Step 440, the control unit sets a reminder item according to the medication reminder configuration information, and stores the reminder item and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information in the data storage unit.

[0050] In this step, the control unit 210 obtains the medication reminder configuration information and sets reminder items according to the medication reminder configuration information. There may be one or more pieces of medication reminder configuration information. If there are multiple pieces of medication reminder configuration information, reminder items are set respectively according to different pieces of medication reminder configuration information. These pieces of information are stored in the data storage unit 240 (for example, the personalized voice reminder information is stored in the data storage unit 240 in the form of a bin file). In one embodiment, the personalized voice reminder information stored in the data storage unit 240 is the decompressed personalized voice reminder information.

[0051] In one embodiment, the medication reminder configuration information includes the time of the medication reminder. For example, the medication reminder configuration information includes the time information of "8:00", and the corresponding content of the personalized voice reminder information is "Dad, good morning. Don't forget to take your medicine in the morning." Then, a reminder item is set to play the corresponding personalized voice reminder information at 8:00. In another embodiment, one piece of medication reminder configuration information can correspond to multiple pieces of personalized voice reminder information content. For example, the reminder information is "F3; G4; 8:00", indicating that the medicine is taken 3 times a day, with an interval of 4 hours, and the first reminder is at 8:00. This reminder information corresponds to 3 pieces of personalized voice reminder information. The control unit 210 then sets reminder items at 8:00, 12:00, and 16:00. The corresponding personalized voice reminder information is respectively: "Dad, good morning. Don't forget to take your medicine in the morning.", "Dad, good noon. Have you had lunch? Remember to take your medicine after lunch.", "Dad, good afternoon. Remember to take your medicine." Of course, it is also possible to share one piece of personalized voice reminder information for 3 reminder items, such as "Dad, it's time to take your medicine." That is to say, the control unit 210 can set one or more reminder items according to one piece of medication reminder configuration information, simplifying the user's settings and improving the setting efficiency. In another embodiment, one reminder item can also correspond to multiple pieces of personalized voice reminder information, such as setting multiple pieces of personalized voice reminder information to play randomly or in sequence.

[0052] In step 450, when the reminder condition for the reminder item is met, the control unit reads the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the reminder item from the data storage unit and plays the personalized voice reminder information through the voice reminder unit.

[0053] In this step, the control unit 210 determines in real time whether the set reminder meets the set reminder conditions. When the reminder conditions are met, the corresponding personalized voice reminder information is played through the voice reminder unit 220. For example, for the reminder to take medicine at 8:00, the control unit 210 obtains the current time and compares it with the set time 8:00 of this reminder. When the current time reaches 8:00, the control unit 210 executes this reminder and plays the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the 8:00 medication reminder. The current time can be obtained through the network (such as the Internet, cloud server 400), or can be obtained according to the clock module built in the inhaler 200. For example, the control unit 210 is built with a real-time clock (RTC, Real-Time Clock). The reminder conditions of the reminder can be other conditions in addition to time conditions, such as the remaining drug amount, the user's medication behavior, etc., which will be described in detail below.

[0054] In the embodiment of the present application, the user's personalized voice reminder information is input through the terminal and transmitted to the inhaler, so that the inhaler can dynamically play customized voice guidance matching the patient's cognitive level according to the set medication reminder conditions, solving the problem of difficult understanding of static audio prompts in the prior art, effectively improving the acceptance and execution accuracy of inhaler operation guidelines for patients with different educational levels and language habits, and reducing the use threshold of the inhaler for patients. Relatives and friends of the patient can use the terminal to configure personalized voice reminder information for the patient, so that the voice operation prompts given to the patient can effectively match the patient's cognitive level. This not only effectively improves the acceptance and execution compliance of inhaler operation guidelines for patients with different educational levels and language habits, but also increases the participation of the patient's relatives and friends in the patient's treatment, enabling relatives and friends to better participate in the patient's medication management, and helping to increase the care degree of the patient's relatives and friends for the patient.

[0055] In one embodiment, the types of medication reminder configuration information include at least one of the following: Medication reminder; drug replenishment reminder; inhaler operation reminder.

[0056] The medication reminder is used to remind the patient to perform a medication operation. That is, when the control unit 210 determines that the first reminder condition for the medication reminder is met, the voice reminder unit 220 is controlled to play the corresponding personalized voice reminder information. The first reminder condition for the medication reminder can be configured by the user in the medication reminder configuration information or automatically generated by the control unit 210 according to the medication reminder configuration information. The first reminder condition is a time-related condition and can include at least one of the following: The current time reaches the reminder time corresponding to the medication reminder; The current time has exceeded the preset medication time and exceeds the first time; The medication time interval exceeds the second time.

[0057] Among them, when the current time reaches the reminder time corresponding to the medication reminder, it means that the control unit 210 compares the current time with the reminder time in the medication reminder configuration information. For example, if the reminder time is 8:00 and the current time reaches 8:00, the control unit 210 controls the voice reminder unit to play the personalized voice reminder information. For example, it plays the medication voice reminder "Dad, good morning. Don't forget to take your medicine in the morning."

[0058] The current time has exceeded the preset medication time and exceeds the first time, which means that the medication time and the reminder time are separated. For example, if the preset medication time in the medication reminder configuration information is 8:00, the corresponding first reminder condition is to remind after 1 hour (equivalent to the reminder time being 9:00). In this way, when the current time reaches 9:00, the control unit 210 controls the voice reminder unit 220 to play the personalized voice reminder information (such as the medication voice reminder).

[0059] In another embodiment, the control unit 210 can obtain the patient's medication behavior. For example, the control unit 210 detects the patient's medication behavior information (such as the actual medication time) through the induction module mentioned below. The control unit 210 determines that within the first time after the preset medication time (such as 8:00 to 9:00), the patient has not taken the medicine using the inhaler 200. Then, when the current time reaches 9:00, the control unit 210 controls the voice reminder unit to play the personalized voice reminder information. If the control unit 210 determines that the patient has taken the medicine within the first time after the preset medication time (for example, according to the medication behavior information, the patient's actual medication time is 8:30), no personalized voice reminder is given after the first time. In another embodiment, when the patient correctly takes the medicine within the preset medication time to the first time, the control unit 210 can trigger and play an encouraging voice reminder for encouraging the patient to take the medicine on time, such as "Dad, you took the medicine on time. You're great!"

[0060] In another embodiment, in addition to automatically detecting that the patient has taken the medicine through the medicine-taking behavior information, it may also be that the patient records his own medicine-taking information through the terminal 300. The control unit 210 can communicate with the second communication unit 340 of the patient's terminal 300 through the first communication unit 230 to obtain the medicine-taking information, and determine whether the patient has taken the medicine within the first time according to the medicine-taking information. Or, the control unit 210 can obtain the patient's medicine-taking information from the cloud server 400 through the first communication unit 230, and determine whether the patient has taken the medicine within the first time according to the medicine-taking information. The medicine-taking time interval exceeding the second time means that the time since the last medicine-taking exceeds the second time. For example, the second time recorded in the medicine-taking reminder configuration information is 4 hours, the last medicine-taking time is 8:00 (which can be obtained by detecting the patient's medicine-taking behavior information mentioned above, or obtained from the medicine-taking information recorded and uploaded by the patient himself), and the current time is 12:01. The time since the last medicine-taking exceeds the second time (4 hours). At this time, the control unit 210 controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play a personalized voice reminder message (such as a medicine-taking voice reminder). The medicine replenishment reminder is used to remind the patient to perform the medicine replenishment operation. The control unit 210 obtains the patient's medicine-taking behavior information (such as the number of medicine-takings), and performs statistics or counting of the remaining medicine amount according to the patient's medicine-taking behavior information, and controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play a personalized voice reminder message according to the result of the statistics or counting. For example, play a medicine replenishment voice reminder "Dad, the medicine is almost finished, remember to buy medicine in time!". In one embodiment, the control unit 210 can perform statistics or counting of the remaining medicine amount according to the medicine-taking information recorded by the patient. In another embodiment, the control unit 210 can perform statistics or counting of the remaining medicine amount by detecting the patient's medicine-taking behavior of using the inhaler 200.

[0061] In one embodiment, the inhaler 200 further includes an induction module 214 for performing medicine-taking detection. The control unit 210 obtains the medicine-taking behavior information of the patient taking the medicine through the induction module 214, and determines the number of times the patient takes the medicine and / or counts the remaining medicine amount according to the medicine-taking behavior information.

[0062] The reminder conditions corresponding to the medicine replenishment reminder include at least one of the following second reminder conditions: The remaining medicine amount is less than the preset medicine amount; The number of times of taking medicine is greater than the preset number of times.

[0063] Among them, the remaining drug amount being less than the preset drug amount means that the control unit 210 calculates the remaining drug amount based on the number of drug use behaviors of the inhaler 200 sensed by the sensing module 214, and then compares it with the preset drug amount to determine whether a voice prompt is needed. For example, the preset drug amount is 1 / 6, and each drug use behavior consumes 1 / 36 of the drug amount. Suppose that before taking the medicine, the remaining drug amount is 36 / 36. When the user uses the inhaler 200, the control unit 210 can sense the drug use behavior information of the user (such as taking the medicine once) through the sensing module 214. In this way, the control unit 210 can calculate that the remaining drug amount is 35 / 36, which is greater than the preset drug amount of 1 / 6. Therefore, the drug replenishment voice reminder is not played. For example, when the current remaining drug amount is 7 / 36, after the control unit 210 senses the drug use behavior information of the user through the sensing module 214, it can calculate that the remaining drug amount is 6 / 36. In this way, the remaining drug amount is equal to the preset drug amount. Therefore, the control unit 210 controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play the drug replenishment voice reminder. In addition to calculating the remaining drug amount based on the user's drug use behavior, the remaining drug amount of the drug storage unit 260 of the inhaler 200 can also be detected (such as by an internal sensor).

[0064] In another embodiment, instead of calculating the remaining drug amount, it can be determined whether drug replenishment is needed based on the number of drug use times. For example, after the control unit 210 senses the drug use behavior information of the user through the sensing module 214, it is determined that the cumulative number of drug use times of the current inhaler 200 is 30 times, which is equal to the preset number of 30 times. Then, the control unit 210 controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play the drug replenishment voice reminder.

[0065] In another embodiment, the control unit 210 sends the number of drug use times and / or the statistical remaining drug amount to the terminal 300 or the cloud server 400 through the first communication unit 230. In this way, the patient, the patient's relatives and friends or the doctor can view the remaining drug amount of the inhaler 200 through the terminal 300, so as to judge whether drug replenishment is needed and view the patient's drug use record.

[0066] In one embodiment, the inhaler 200 includes an inhalation port 250, a drug storage unit 260 for accommodating drugs, a drug filling unit 270, and an inhalation channel 280 connecting the inhalation port 250 and the drug filling unit 270. The inhaler 200 further includes an operation unit 290 for operating the drug filling unit 270 to fill drugs from the drug storage unit 260. The sensing module 214 is disposed on the operation unit. Among them, the operation unit 290 is a rotary handle for controlling the rotation of the operation unit. The sensing module 214 includes a first switch sensing module 2141 and a second switch sensing module 2142 disposed on the rotation path of the rotary handle. The first switch sensing module 2141 is used to sense the rotary handle leaving and / or reaching the first position, and the second switch sensing module 2142 is used to sense the rotary handle leaving and / or reaching the second position.

[0067] The above describes how the inhaler 200 performs personalized voice reminders according to the medication reminder configuration information sent by the terminal 300 and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information from the perspective of the inhaler 200. The following introduces how the user sets the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information through the terminal 300.

[0068] The terminal 300 includes a display screen 350, and the user performs human-computer interaction with the terminal 300 through the display screen 350. Refer to Figure 5 As shown, step 410 specifically includes the following steps 510 to step 540: In step 510, the terminal obtains the user information of the patient, the patient's relatives and friends or the doctor, and displays a first interface on the display screen according to the user information. The first interface is used to display the patient's medication information.

[0069] Among them, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the user opens the application program for personalized medication reminders through the terminal 300 (for example, opens the small program of the chat software or logs in through the user information by an independent application program), and a first interface 600 is displayed on the display screen 350. Among them, the content displayed on the first interface 600 corresponds to the user information, and the user information is the information used by the user to log in to the application program. In one embodiment, if the application program is a small program integrated in the social chat software, the user information is the user information of the social chat software. If the application program is an independent APP program, the user needs to use the user information (such as account number, password, etc.) to log in to the APP program. After logging in, if the user information is the patient himself / herself, the medication information of the patient himself / herself is displayed in the first interface. If the user information is the relative of the patient and is bound to the patient's inhaler 200, the medication information of the patient bound by the user is displayed in the first interface. In another embodiment, the doctor of the patient can also input or select the patient information of the patient in the medical management system, and then the medication information of the patient is displayed on the display screen 350.

[0070] In one embodiment, the first interface 600 displays the patient's recent medication information, including the drug type 601 of the inhaler 200, the medication time 602, and the remaining drug amount 603. This medication information is the medication information sent by the inhaler 200 to the terminal 300 or the cloud server 400 through the first communication unit 230, including medication behavior information, medication times, and statistical remaining drug amount. In one embodiment, the terminal 300 records the patient's medication time based on the medication behavior information, and records the remaining drug amount of the inhaler 200 based on the medication times and / or statistical remaining drug amount, such as "remaining dose: 28 puffs". In another embodiment, the terminal 300 does not perform statistics on the medication time and the remaining drug amount. Instead, after the cloud server 400 records and statistics them, the terminal 300 accesses the cloud server 400 to obtain the information of the drug type, medication time, and remaining drug amount for display. In this way, even if the user replaces the terminal 300, as long as the user information is used, the relevant medication information can be reproduced. Even if the terminal 300 is lost, the relevant medication information will not be lost because it is stored in the cloud server, ensuring the security of the data. On the other hand, the inhaler 200 can be bound to multiple users (such as the patient himself, the patient's relatives or friends, or the patient's doctor). In this way, the relevant users bound to the inhaler 200 can all view the patient's medication information and set medication reminder configuration information and personalized voice reminder information.

[0071] Step 520, in response to the user's first operation, the terminal switches the display screen from the first interface to the second interface, and the second interface is used to display the setting options of the inhaler bound to the user information.

[0072] Step 530, the terminal obtains the input operation of the user on the second interface and obtains the medication reminder configuration information input by the user.

[0073] See Figure 6 As shown, in the first interface 600, there is also a device management control 610. The terminal 300 switches to Figure 7 the second interface 700 shown by obtaining the first operation of the user on the management control 610. The second interface 700 displays the device management information (including multiple setting options) of the inhaler 200 bound to the user information. The second interface 700 includes a medication plan setting area 710, and the medication plan setting area 710 facilitates the user to set the medication reminder configuration information, such as setting the reminder time, medication frequency, medication cycle, etc. In one embodiment, for example, when the user clicks the edit control in the second interface 700, a detailed configuration interface 810 of the medication plan setting area 710 as shown in Figure 8 will pop up. The terminal 300 obtains the input operation of the user in the detailed configuration interface 810 and obtains the medication reminder configuration information input by the user.

[0074] Step 540: The terminal responds to the user's personalized voice setting operation on the medication reminder configuration information, displays a voice recording interface, and obtains the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the medication reminder configuration information through the recording module.

[0075] In Figure 7 the second interface 700 shown, there is also a personalized setting control 720 for inputting personalized voice reminder information. When the user operates on the personalized control 720, a personalized voice configuration interface 900 as shown in Figure 9 will pop up. The personalized voice configuration interface 900 includes setting entries corresponding to different types of medication reminder configuration information, and different personalized voice reminder information can be set for different types of medication reminder configuration information. When the user clicks on one of the setting entries, the terminal 300 responds to this personalized voice setting operation and displays a voice recording interface 1000 as shown in Figure 10 . After the terminal displays the voice recording interface 1000, the recording module 330 starts to obtain and record the user's voice, forming the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the medication reminder information.

[0076] See Figure 10 shown. The voice recording interface 1000 includes a recording time 1010 and a recording progress bar 1020. The recording progress bar 1020 changes with the recording time and the voice information input by the user, so that the user can confirm the progress of the voice input.

[0077] In another embodiment, the voice recording interface 1000 can also display the recording prompt words corresponding to the medication reminder configuration information. Different types of medication reminder configuration information correspond to different recording prompt words. In one embodiment, the recording prompt words are automatically generated according to the medication reminder configuration information set by the user. For example, for a timed medication reminder, the terminal 300 obtains the reminder time: 13:30 in the medication reminder configuration information and generates the recording prompt word: "Remind the patient to take the medicine at 13:30 in the afternoon". In this way, when the user records the corresponding personalized voice, based on the time information of the prompt word and the user's understanding of the patient's living habits, the user can say personalized prompt words suitable for the patient, such as "Dad, good afternoon. Have you had lunch? Don't forget to take your medicine." By setting the recording prompt words, it is avoided that the user only says some simple voices such as "Take the medicine" during the recording. Under the guidance of the recording prompt words, more personalized voice reminder information that fits the medication scenario will be spoken.

[0078] In one embodiment, the second interface 700 further includes a device search control 730 through which a user can search for the inhaler 200. When the terminal 300 receives a search instruction input by the user, it sends the search instruction to the inhaler 200 through the second communication unit 340. When the inhaler 200 receives the search instruction through the first communication unit 230, it controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play a voice to remind the patient or user of the location of the inhaler 200. Herein, the inhaler 200 can receive the search instruction through a locally connected manner or indirectly obtain the search instruction through the cloud server 400.

[0079] In another embodiment, the patient or user can use the terminal 300 to input or activate a medication reminder. In this way, the terminal 300 sends a real-time medication reminder instruction to the inhaler 200. After receiving the real-time medication reminder instruction, the inhaler 200 plays a corresponding personalized voice reminder message according to the type of medication reminder configuration information in the real-time medication reminder instruction. In this way, there is no need to wait for the control unit 210 to determine whether the reminder condition is met, that is, the real-time reminder is carried out bypassing the reminder condition. For example, if the user finds that the medication reminder configuration information in the terminal 300 is set incorrectly, for example, the correct medication time is 12:00, but it is set incorrectly to 13:00, and the current time is 12:30. If the user modifies it to the correct time of 12:00, they need to wait until the next day to execute the reminder. In this way, the user can perform a real-time reminder for the patient through the real-time medication reminder instruction, avoiding missing the medication time today.

[0080] In addition to sending a real-time medication reminder instruction to the inhaler 200, a real-time voice message can also be sent to the inhaler 200. The real-time voice message is also recorded by the user through the recording module 330 of the terminal 300. When the inhaler 200 receives the real-time voice message sent by the terminal 300, it plays the voice message through the voice prompt unit 220, such as "Dad, I won't be back for dinner tonight".

[0081] The following is described in combination with the specific application scenarios of the inhaler. Refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, a schematic structural diagram of the inhaler 200 provided by an embodiment of the present application. The dry powder inhaler includes: An inhalation port 250 for guiding the user to inhale air flow and delivering the atomized drug to the respiratory tract; A drug storage unit 260 for containing drugs; A drug filling unit 270 for quantitatively delivering the drugs in the drug storage unit 260 to the inhalation channel 280; An inhalation channel 280 communicating the inhalation port 250 and the drug filling unit 270; The operation unit 290 is used to operate the drug filling unit to fill drugs from the drug storage unit.

[0082] The inhaler 200 further includes a voice control module 211. The control unit 210, the voice prompt unit 220, the first communication unit 230, and the data storage unit 240 mentioned in Figure 3 are provided in the voice control module 211. The inhaler 200 further includes an indicator light 213, and the indicator light 213 is connected to the control unit 210.

[0083] In one embodiment, the operation unit 290 is a rotary handle for controlling the rotation of the operation unit. The sensing module 214 includes a first switch sensing module 2141 and a second switch sensing module 2142 disposed on the rotation path of the rotary handle. The first switch sensing module 2141 is used to sense the rotary handle leaving and / or reaching the first position, and the second switch sensing module 2142 is used to sense the rotary handle leaving and / or reaching the second position.

[0084] See Figure 3 As shown, the voice control module 211 further includes a power supply circuit 212 for supplying power to the control unit 210. In one embodiment, the power supply circuit 212 includes a charging interface 2121, a battery 2122, and a power management module 2123. The control unit 210 is built-in with an RTC module. In one embodiment, the data storage unit 240 can also be built-in in the control unit 210.

[0085] The voice prompt unit 220 includes a speaker 221 and a voice control chip 222. When the reminder condition for the reminder item is met, the control unit 210 sends the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the reminder condition to the voice control chip 222, and the voice control chip 222 drives the speaker 221 to play the personalized voice reminder information. In one embodiment, the voice control chip 222 is a DSP voice chip. The control unit 210 communicates with the DSP voice chip through the SPI interface and sends the personalized voice reminder information to the DSP voice chip. In another embodiment, the DSP voice chip receives the personalized voice reminder information through the SPI interface and replaces the voice information at the original address, for example, replacing the default sound of the reminder item with the personalized voice reminder information. In one embodiment, when the DSP voice chip plays the personalized voice reminder information, it drives the speaker 221 to play after mixing through 16-bit PWM output and using a 16K sampling rate. It should be noted that Figure 3 The inhaler shown is only one type of inhaler for illustration. In fact, the voice reminder method of the drug inhaler in the embodiments of the present application can be applied to inhalers with different structures. For example, aerosol inhalers can have different structures.

[0086] See Figure 13As shown in the figure, it is an application scenario of the inhaler management system 100. The inhaler 200 communicates with the terminal 300 through a locally connected communication method (such as communicating through Bluetooth). After a patient or a relative or friend of the patient uses the terminal 300 to set the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information. The terminal 300 sends the audio file of the personalized voice to the cloud server 400. After the cloud server 400 compresses the audio file (such as compressing it into a bin file that the inhaler control unit 210 can execute), it feeds back the compressed personalized voice reminder information to the terminal 300. After the terminal 300 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the inhaler 200 through Bluetooth communication, the inhaler 200 sets a reminder item according to the medication reminder configuration information, and stores the reminder item and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information in the data storage unit 240. When the control unit 210 of the inhaler 200 determines that the current time meets the reminder condition (such as the reminder time) of the reminder item, it obtains the personalized voice reminder information corresponding to the reminder condition from the data storage unit 240 and plays it through the speaker 221. For example, it plays the medication voice reminder "Dad, good morning. Don't forget to take your medicine in the morning." After the patient hears the medication voice reminder, the patient uses the inhaler 200 to take the medicine.

[0087] After the control unit 210 senses that the patient uses the inhaler through the sensing module 214, it calculates the number of medication uses and / or counts the remaining drug amount. The control unit 210 sends the patient's medication behavior to the terminal 300 to achieve the upload of the medication record. The terminal 300 records the patient's medication record (such as the medication time and dose). If the remaining drug amount is less than the preset drug amount or the number of medication uses is greater than the preset number after the patient uses the inhaler, the inhaler 200 plays a drug replenishment voice reminder, such as "Dad, the medicine is almost finished. Remember to buy medicine in time!" After the current time reaches the preset follow-up visit time, the inhaler 200 plays a personalized voice reminder to remind the patient to go for a follow-up visit, such as "Dad, you need to go for a follow-up visit. Remember to go to the First People's Hospital to see Dr. Liu."

[0088] See Figure 14 As shown in the figure, it is another application scenario of the inhaler management system 100. Different from Figure 13 this, the inhaler 200 and the terminal 300 are not directly locally communication-connected. Instead, they communicate remotely through the cloud server 400.

[0089] After the patient or the patient's relatives and friends use the terminal 300 to set the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information, the terminal 300 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the cloud server 400. The cloud server will compress the personalized voice reminder information (such as compressing it into a bin file that the inhaler control unit 210 can execute). The inhaler 200 downloads the medication reminder configuration information and the compressed personalized voice reminder information from the cloud server 400. After decompressing the compressed personalized voice reminder information, it executes voice reminders and medication records. Among them, for voice reminders and medication records, refer to Figure 13 the scenario shown, which will not be elaborated here. The difference is that the inhaler 200 will send the patient's medication behavior to the cloud server 400 instead of directly to the terminal 300. The terminal 300 can obtain the patient's medication information through the cloud server 400.

[0090] Refer to Figure 15 As shown, it is another application scenario of the inhaler management system 100. Different from Figure 14 this, the corresponding person who operates the terminal 300 to remotely set the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information is the patient's doctor. In addition, the doctor can also use the terminal 300 to view the patient's medication information. The patient's own mobile phone 1510 does not have the permission to set the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information, but the patient can use the mobile phone 1510 to obtain the doctor's advice and view their own medication records from the cloud server 400. The mobile phone 1510 can also establish a local communication connection with the inhaler 200 to implement the function of finding the inhaler 200. For example, the mobile phone 1510 sends a search instruction to the inhaler 200. When the inhaler 200 receives this search instruction through the first communication unit 230, it controls the voice prompt unit 220 to play a voice to remind the patient or user of the location of the inhaler 200.

[0091] In another embodiment, it is also possible to integrate Figure 13 and Figure 14 the application scenarios, that is, the inhaler 200 and the terminal 300 prefer to use a local communication connection. When the local communication connection between the inhaler 200 and the terminal 300 is unsuccessful, the cloud server 400 is used for indirect communication.

[0092] The terminal 300 searches for the presence of an inhaler 200 nearby through the second communication unit 340; If there is an inhaler 200 near the terminal 300, the second communication unit 340 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the first communication unit 230 through a local network or a local communication protocol; If there is no inhaler 200 near the terminal 300, the second communication unit 340 sends the device information of the corresponding inhaler 200, the medication reminder configuration information, and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the cloud server 400, so that the cloud server 400 sends the medication reminder configuration information and its corresponding personalized voice reminder information to the corresponding inhaler 200 according to the device information.
