A small speaker 26 is connected to the output terminal of the intelligent controller 23, and a temperature sensor 27 is connected to its input terminal. A temperature sensor is a sensor that can sense temperature and convert it into a usable output signal; it can be divided into two main categories according to the measurement method: contact and non-contact.Based on the characteristics of sensor materials and electronic components, sensors are divided into two categories: resistance temperature detectors (RTDs) and thermocouples. The intelligent controller 23 has an input terminal connected to a rechargeable battery 28, and a WiFi module 29 connected to its connection terminal. This WiFi module, also known as a serial Wi-Fi module, belongs to the IoT transmission layer and functions to convert serial or TTL levels to an embedded module conforming to the Wi-Fi wireless network communication standard. It has a built-in IEEE 802.11b.gn wireless network protocol stack and a TCP / IP protocol stack. The WiFi module 29 has a connection terminal connected to both a user's mobile phone 30 and a monitor's mobile phone 31.
[0029] The temperature sensor 27 is used to detect the temperature of the heated water inside the upper cover 2 and transmit the detection result to the intelligent controller 23 for processing.
[0030] The ring heating resistor 6 is used to heat the water contained in the upper cover 2, and heat the water to a suitable temperature for the user to drink.

[0036] The midday cover 18 is adapted to the midday medicine trough 13, and the evening cover 20 is adapted to the evening medicine trough 14.
[0037] The timer 24 is fixedly installed on the upper cover 2, and the GPS locator 25 is fixedly installed on the upper cover 2.
[0038] The small speaker 26 is fixedly installed on the upper cover 2, and the temperature sensor 27 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the heat-conducting plate 7.
[0039] The input terminal of the annular heating resistor 6 is connected to the output terminal of the intelligent controller 23, and the rechargeable battery 28 is fixedly installed on the upper cover 2.
[0040] The upper connecting part 5 and the cup body 1 are an integral structure, and the upper connecting part 5 is threadedly connected to the upper cover 2.
[0041] The microcontroller is model M68HC16, the temperature sensor 27 is model DS18B20, the timer 24 is model AHC15A, the WiFi module 29 is model TLN13UA06, and the GPS locator 25 is model N50-Q1.
[0042] The specific implementation method is as follows: When using this invention, the medicine can be stored inside the medicine storage tank 10. The medicine storage tank 10 is divided into three parts: the morning medicine tank 12, the noon medicine tank 13, and the evening medicine tank 14. The morning medicine, noon medicine, and evening medicine are placed in the three tanks respectively, making it convenient for the elderly to take them out. The lids of the morning medicine tank 12, the noon medicine tank 13, and the evening medicine tank 14 are respectively provided with identification patterns for the elderly to identify. The timer 24 can be adjusted by using the user's mobile phone 30 and the guardian's mobile phone 31. The user's mobile phone 30 allows the elderly to adjust the time themselves. If the elderly have difficulty using a mobile phone, the guardian's mobile phone 31 allows the elderly's family members to adjust the timer. When the timer expires, the small speaker 26 can emit a sound to remind the elderly to take the medicine. Simultaneously, the user's mobile phone 30 can remind the elderly. The magnetic method makes it easy for the elderly to remove the lower cover 4. When they need to drink water, the elderly can rotate to remove the upper cover 2, then pour the water from the cup body 1 into the upper cover 2. Then, the ring heating resistor 6 is activated via the mobile phone to heat the water in the upper cover 2. The temperature sensor 27 can detect the temperature. When the water reaches the appropriate temperature, the small speaker 26 emits a sound to remind the elderly to drink. The GPS locator 25 can easily locate the cup. If the distance is too far, it will remind the user's mobile phone 30 and the caregiver's mobile phone 31 to prevent the cup from being lost. This invention can directly provide hot water, store medicine in categories, and also has an anti-loss function, making the actual use of the invention more effective.
[0043] Working principle of this invention:
[0044] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 Appendix Figure 2 Appendix Figure 3 Appendix Figure 4 Appendix Figure 5 and attached Figure 6 When using this invention, the inclusion of a WiFi module 29, a medicine storage tank 10, and an intelligent controller 23 enables the invention to directly provide hot water, store medicines in categories, and prevent loss, resulting in a better practical application effect.
