Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of medicine cabinet technology, and in particular to a home medicine management system and method based on the Internet of Things and a large language model. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing awareness of health among the public and the continuous popularization of medical resources, it has become a common phenomenon for families to stock up on medicines. Each family will stock up on a certain number of commonly used medicines, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines such as cold and fever medicines, cough medicines, anti-allergy medicines, and digestive system medicines, based on the health status, age characteristics, and daily needs of family members. These medicines are usually used to deal with sudden illnesses or the daily management of chronic diseases.

[0003] Medications are typically stored in medicine cabinets. Currently available medicine cabinets only offer physical partitions such as dividers and drawers. While this facilitates the classification, storage, and retrieval of medications to some extent, its limitations are significant. The management of household medications remains at a very rudimentary level and cannot meet the higher demands of modern families for medication information management, medication safety, and ease of use. Furthermore, as the types and quantities of medications stored increase, traditional storage methods are gradually revealing numerous management challenges, such as: 1. Medication inventory management issues: Some families store medications haphazardly without effective classification and management (such as mixing adult and children's medications, or prescription and over-the-counter medications), making it difficult to find medications. Moreover, family members cannot keep track of medication inventory and consumption in real time. Some medications are stored for a long time due to improper storage or infrequent use, easily exceeding their expiration date and becoming ineffective, or being used up without timely replenishment. This not only causes the inconvenience of discovering that medications have expired or been used up when urgently needed, but also increases the possibility of accidentally taking expired medications, threatening the health of family members. 2. Drug information management issues: Families often have a wide variety of medications in their stock, making it difficult for ordinary households to fully understand the specific types of medications they have at home, their indications, and their applicable scope. 3. Medication guidance issues: Existing products and technologies cannot provide personalized, customized medication advice based on family medicine reserves.

[0004] In recent years, with the rapid development of smart hardware, IoT technology, and artificial intelligence technology, consumers' demand for intelligent home health devices has been increasing. Especially under the background of "Internet + healthcare", home health management has gradually become an important part of the medical service system. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an intelligent home drug management system that integrates intelligent drug identification, information management, expiration date reminders, and medication guidance to achieve comprehensive digital management of home medications and provide users with personalized medication advice and early warning services, thereby improving the effectiveness of drug reserves and medication safety, and optimizing the home health management process. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a home medication management system and method based on the Internet of Things and a large language model, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background.

[0006] This invention provides the following technical solution: a home medication management system based on the Internet of Things and a large language model, including RFID tags, medicine boxes, handheld terminals, and cloud servers; The medicine box is equipped with an RFID reader and radio frequency antenna, and is connected to the cloud server through an embedded control module with network connectivity. The medicine box contains multiple independent drug storage compartments, and the RFID tags are attached to the independent drug storage compartments. The RFID tags can be recorded with drug information through the RFID reader. The RFID tag contains tag information and recorded drug information; The cloud server is equipped with a database that stores a list of tags composed of tag information. The handheld terminal connects to the cloud server via the Internet. When the RFID reader is activated, it can read the drug information recorded in the RFID tag in the medicine box, display it on the program interface, and provide a drug information input interface for entering drug information into the RFID tag.

[0007] Preferably, the RFID reader in the active state can passively sense an approaching RFID tag that has not yet been entered with drug information. The user can enter drug information into the RFID tag through the embedded control module, cloud server and handheld terminal to complete the entry of new drugs.

[0008] Preferably, the drug information recorded in the RFID tag includes the drug name, drug properties, and drug expiration date.

[0009] Preferably, the embedded control module can be controlled to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna to actively read the tag information of all RFID tags in the medicine box and compare it with the tag list information in the database. If a change is detected, it will be synchronized and updated with the handheld terminal and a reminder will be sent to the user.

[0010] Preferably, the medicine box is equipped with a switch sensor. When the switch sensor detects that the medicine box is open, it requests the activation of the RFID reader and powers on the radio frequency antenna. The handheld terminal can actively send instructions to the embedded module to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna. The embedded control module can actively send instructions to the RFID reader at a specified time to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna.

[0011] Preferably, when the RFID reader is in an active state, the cloud server can compare the drug expiration date information in the RFID tag with the current date and send drug expiration and refill reminders to the handheld terminal.

[0012] Preferably, the radio frequency antenna is directional, and the signal can only cover the RFID tag inside the medicine box. The cloud server can detect the frequency at which the independent drug storage compartment and the RFID tag on it leave the medicine box. If the occurrence of such occurrences is too frequent and there is a risk of overdose, the cloud server will issue a reminder and alarm to the handheld terminal.

[0013] Preferably, a large language model is deployed in the cloud server. When the user inputs request information in the handheld terminal, the cloud server synchronizes the request information and the drug information in the read RFID tag to the large language model. The large language model uses targeted prompts to ask questions and obtains the information fed back by the user through the handheld terminal. Based on the feedback information, it provides the user with different medical guidance suggestions.

[0014] A medication management method for a home medication management system based on the Internet of Things and a large language model includes the following steps: S1 Information Entry Steps: The user attaches an RFID tag to the independent drug storage compartment, fills it with medicine, and places it in the medicine box. At this time, the RFID reader detects the newly added blank RFID tag through electromagnetic induction. This information is processed by the embedded control module and sent to the cloud server, which then sends it to the handheld terminal. The handheld terminal provides a blank tag detection prompt. Subsequently, the user enters the drug name, drug attributes, and drug expiration date on the handheld terminal. The handheld terminal uploads the drug information to the cloud server, which sends the information to the embedded control module in the medicine box. The embedded control module writes the drug information into the blank tag on the medicine box through the RFID reader and enters the tag information of the RFID tag in the database. All the tag information in the database constitutes the tag list information. S2 Monitoring Steps: The embedded control module will activate the RFID reader after the set time, or after receiving information from the switch sensor, or after receiving a request from the handheld terminal. The RFID reader will read the tag information of all RFID tags in the medicine box in batches and synchronize the tag information to the cloud server through the network. The cloud server will detect whether the tag list information has changed. If a change is detected, it will synchronize and update with the handheld terminal and send a reminder to the user. Furthermore, the RFID reader can read the drug information of all RFID tags in the medicine box in batches and display it on the handheld terminal, and provide a drug information input interface so that the drug information can be modified. Furthermore, the cloud server will detect the drug expiration date in the drug information within the RFID tag and compare it with the current date. If it finds a drug that is about to expire, it will send an expiration and refill reminder to the handheld terminal. S3 Medication Procedure: The user describes their symptoms using a handheld terminal. At this time, the RFID reader is activated. The cloud server then synchronizes the disease description information and the drug information from the read RFID tag to the large language model. It uses targeted prompts to ask questions and obtain feedback. Based on the feedback, it provides the user with suggestions including recommending existing drugs, recommending the purchase of new drugs, recommending online medical services, and recommending visits to hospitals.

[0015] Preferably, in step S3, the cloud server can detect changes in the RFID tag list information in real time and read the drug information in the changed RFID tags. If it finds that the RFID tag leaves the medicine box too frequently, there is a possibility of overdose, and an alarm will be issued to the handheld terminal.

[0016] This invention provides a home medication management system and method based on the Internet of Things and a large language model, which has the following beneficial effects: This invention uses Internet of Things (IoT) technology to achieve real-time collection and updating of drug information, which greatly improves efficiency, timeliness and accuracy compared to traditional methods that rely on memory or manual recording. This invention can monitor the expiration date of drugs in real time, greatly reducing the possibility of accidentally taking expired drugs. In addition, the medicine cabinet can remind you of the possibility of overdose by monitoring the frequency of drugs leaving the medicine cabinet, thus improving medication safety. The cloud server of this invention is equipped with a large language model, which can provide customized medication guidance plans based on the user's specific symptoms and family medication reserves.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or a connection that allows communication between them; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-3 According to the present invention, a home medication management system based on the Internet of Things and a large language model includes RFID tags, a medicine box, a handheld terminal, and a cloud server, wherein the handheld terminal can be a mobile device such as a mobile phone.

[0023] The medicine box is equipped with an RFID reader and a radio frequency antenna, and also includes multiple independent drug storage compartments. Users can classify and store drugs according to their properties in these compartments. RFID tags can be fixed in the independent drug storage compartments (or directly attached to the medicine bottles, which can also be considered independent drug storage compartments) and interact with the RFID reader. The radio frequency antenna signal can cover the entire medicine box and is connected to the RFID reader. The RFID reader is connected to an embedded control module, which is connected to a cloud server via networking. The cloud server is connected to a handheld terminal via a network.

[0024] The information contained in the RFID tag includes tag information and drug information. RFID tags that have not yet been entered with drug information are blank tags. In this embodiment, the tag information is a unique physical ID built into the RFID tag. The embedded module identifies different RFID tags through this physical ID. The RFID tag can be entered with drug information through the RFID reader.

[0025] The cloud server is equipped with a database that stores a list of tags composed of tag information.

[0026] The handheld terminal connects to the cloud server via the Internet. When the RFID reader is activated, it can read the drug information recorded in the RFID tag inside the medicine box and display it on the program interface (including mini-programs and standalone applications). It also provides a drug information input interface to input and modify the drug information in the RFID tag. The drug information recorded in the RFID tag includes the drug name, drug attributes, and drug expiration date.

[0027] When activated, the RFID reader can passively detect nearby RFID tags that have not yet been entered with drug information. Users can enter drug information into the RFID tag through the embedded control module, cloud server, and handheld terminal to complete the entry of new drugs.

[0028] The embedded control module can be controlled to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna to actively read the tag information of all RFID tags in the medicine box and compare it with the tag list information in the database. If a change is detected, it will be synchronized with the handheld terminal and a reminder will be sent to the user to remind the user whether the number of independent drug storage compartments in the medicine box has changed.

[0029] In this embodiment, the methods for activating the RFID reader are as follows: The medicine box is equipped with a switch sensor. When the switch sensor detects that the medicine box is open, it requests the activation of the RFID reader and powers on the radio frequency antenna. The handheld terminal can actively send instructions to the embedded module to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna. The embedded control module can actively send instructions to the RFID reader at a specified time to activate the RFID reader and power on the radio frequency antenna.

[0030] The above three methods can be used to monitor changes in independent drug storage compartments to the greatest extent possible.

[0031] Furthermore, when the RFID reader is active, the cloud server can compare the drug expiration date information in the RFID tag with the current date and send drug expiration and refill reminders to the handheld terminal.

[0032] To prevent the independent drug storage compartments that have left the medicine box from still being identified, the radio frequency antenna is designed to be directional, so that the signal can only cover the RFID tag inside the medicine box. Furthermore, the cloud server can detect the frequency at which the independent drug storage compartments and the RFID tags on them leave the medicine box, and if the occurrence of such occurrences is too frequent and there is a risk of overdose, it will issue a reminder and alarm to the handheld terminal.

[0033] Furthermore, in a second embodiment of a home medication management system based on the Internet of Things and a large language model, a large language model is additionally deployed within the cloud server. When a user inputs request information such as disease symptoms into the handheld terminal, the cloud server synchronizes the request information and the medication information read from the RFID tag to the large language model. The large language model uses targeted prompts to ask questions and obtains the information fed back by the user through the handheld terminal. Based on the feedback information, it provides the user with different medical guidance suggestions to ensure medication safety.

[0034] A medication management method for a home medication management system based on the Internet of Things and a large language model includes the following steps: S1 Information Entry Steps: The user attaches an RFID tag to the independent drug storage compartment, fills it with medication, and places it inside the medicine box. At this time, the RFID reader detects the newly added blank RFID tag through electromagnetic induction. This information is processed by the embedded control module and sent to the cloud server, which then sends it to the handheld terminal. The handheld terminal provides a blank tag detection prompt. Subsequently, the user enters the drug name, drug attributes, and drug expiration date on the handheld terminal. The handheld terminal uploads the drug information to the cloud server, which sends the information to the embedded control module in the medicine box. The embedded control module writes the drug information into the blank tag on the medicine box through the RFID reader and enters the tag information of the RFID tag into the database. At this time, the new drug registration process is completed. All the tag information in the database constitutes the tag list information. S2 Monitoring Steps: The embedded control module will activate the RFID reader after the set time, or after receiving information from the switch sensor, or after receiving a request from the handheld terminal. The RFID reader will read the tag information of all RFID tags in the medicine box in batches and synchronize the tag information to the cloud server through the network. The cloud server will detect whether the tag list information has changed. If a change is detected, it will synchronize and update with the handheld terminal and send a reminder to the user. At this time, the drug monitoring process is completed. Furthermore, the RFID reader can read the drug information of all RFID tags in the medicine box in batches and display it on the handheld terminal, and provide a drug information input interface so that the drug information can be modified. Furthermore, the cloud server will detect the drug expiration date in the drug information within the RFID tag and compare it with the current date. If it finds a drug that is about to expire, it will send an expiration and refill reminder to the handheld terminal.

[0035] S3 Medication Steps: The user describes their symptoms using a handheld terminal. At this point, the RFID reader is activated. The cloud server then synchronizes the disease description information and the drug information from the read RFID tag to the large language model. Using targeted prompts, the model asks questions and obtains feedback. Based on the feedback, the model provides the user with suggestions including recommending existing medications, recommending new medications, recommending online medical services, and recommending a visit to the hospital. This completes the medication recommendation process.

[0036] In step S3 above, the cloud server can detect changes in the RFID tag list information in real time and read the drug information in the changed RFID tags. If it finds that the RFID tag leaves the medicine box too frequently, there is a possibility of overdose, and an alarm will be issued to the handheld terminal.

[0037] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention, but the technical features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
