Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of computer technology, and more specifically, to a smart pillbox, a pillbox control method and device, an information processing method, and a computer-readable medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of information technology, electronic pillboxes are becoming increasingly intelligent and user-friendly. To remind users to take their medication on time, especially for those with chronic diseases who require long-term medication, electronic pillboxes often include alarm functions to prevent users from forgetting to take their medication and affecting their condition. However, relying solely on alarms is not an effective way to monitor a user's medication adherence. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application proposes an intelligent pillbox, a pillbox control method and device, an information processing method, and a computer-readable medium to improve the above-mentioned deficiencies.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a smart pillbox, comprising: at least one storage component for storing medication; a detection module disposed at the location of the storage component for detecting medication information; a wireless transmission module; and a processor connected to both the detection module and the wireless transmission module for generating shared data based on target content and transmitting the shared data to a user device via the wireless transmission module, wherein the target content includes the medication information sent by the detection module.

[0005] Secondly, this application also provides a pillbox control method, applied to the processor in the aforementioned smart pillbox, the method comprising: generating shared data based on target content, the target content including drug information sent by the detection module; and transmitting the shared data to a user device via the wireless transmission module.

[0007] Fourthly, this application also provides a pillbox control device, applied to the processor in the aforementioned smart pillbox, the device comprising: a generation unit and a transmission unit. The generation unit is used to generate shared data based on target content, the target content including drug information sent by the detection module. The transmission unit is used to transmit the shared data to a user device via the wireless transmission module.

[0008] Fifthly, this application also provides a computer-readable medium storing processor-executable program code that, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform the above-described method.

[0009] The smart pillbox, pillbox control method and apparatus, information processing method, and computer-readable medium provided in this application include a smart pillbox comprising at least one storage component for storing medication, a detection module, a wireless transmission module, and a processor. The processor is capable of generating shared data based on target content and transmitting the shared data to a user device via the wireless transmission module. The target content includes medication information sent by the detection module. Therefore, the smart pillbox of this application can synchronize at least medication-related content to the user device via the wireless transmission module, enabling the user device to monitor the medication usage of the smart pillbox.

[0037] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, and not all of them. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of the present application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0038] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters in the following figures indicate similar items; therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures. Furthermore, in the description of this application, terms such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0039] In recent years, with the development of the medical electronics industry, domestic demand has been expanding year by year. On the one hand, the aging population is accelerating, with statistics showing that over 13% of the population is currently over 60 years old; on the other hand, under intense work pressure, young people's free time is drastically compressed, leading many to stay up late and gradually deteriorate their health. Therefore, against this backdrop, people's awareness of healthcare is rising, the demand for healthcare infrastructure is constantly increasing, and more and more people need high-quality healthcare. This demand for medical care, health, quality of life, and disease management is gradually prompting the medical and health fields to shift their focus from disease treatment to healthcare.

[0040] On the one hand, the aging population is intensifying, and the elderly often cannot receive adequate care because their children are busy with work. Population aging, the prevalence of diseases, and changes in the ecological environment and lifestyles bring a series of new challenges to the health maintenance and promotion of the elderly. Multiple coexisting diseases are a common characteristic of elderly patients, and a reason why they need to receive multiple medications. However, with the decline in memory and physical function among the elderly, and their barriers to using emerging technologies, ensuring that elderly people who need to take multiple medications take them on time and accurately has become a major issue of discussion in society today. Existing research shows that due to various factors such as socioeconomic factors, disease factors (type of disease, etc.), patient factors (age, gender, daily activity ability, cognitive function, etc.), treatment factors (type of drug and tolerance, etc.), and healthcare system factors, elderly patients are prone to overdosing, missing doses, or taking the wrong medication, resulting in poor medication adherence in elderly patients with multiple medications, with an adherence rate of only 25.8%.

[0041] On the other hand, young people live increasingly fast-paced lives, busy with studies, work, and livelihoods every day. Meanwhile, with children leaving the careful care of their parents, many young people become indifferent to their own health, seemingly unrelated to illness and death. However, when more and more of their peers suffer from serious illnesses or even sudden death, they begin to worry about their own health. Under work pressure, young people have limited free time, leading many to stay up late. Long working hours cause these individuals to forget or neglect to take their medication, missing regular doses and creating a chain reaction of negative effects, gradually deteriorating their health.

[0042] Against this dual backdrop, the main issues that need to be addressed are how to improve medication adherence and safe medication use in elderly patients, ensure the effectiveness of drug treatment, and keep their children informed about their parents' medication status, as well as how to improve the regularity of medication use among younger people and reassure their parents.

[0043] The inventors discovered in their research that although several smart pillbox products have emerged, these products still have shortcomings in various aspects. For example, some smart pillboxes can only remind users to take medication and record medication data when connected via Bluetooth, and cannot achieve synchronous data transmission. Others are too small, significantly reducing the types and quantities of medications they can hold, and their functionality is also much less compared to other smart pillboxes. While some smart pillboxes have optimized structures and appearances and are not limited in the types and quantities of medications they can carry, their large size makes them inconvenient to carry, and their limited functionality, from a hardware perspective, limits their functionality and prevents them from acquiring comprehensive user data.

[0044] Besides, the most significant problem is that current pillboxes lack remote monitoring capabilities. Most pillboxes connect to smartphones via Bluetooth, limiting control to a very small range. Outside this range, the pillbox becomes essentially disconnected. This limits the pillbox's functionality, making it easily replaceable by a timed alarm clock. Furthermore, these pillboxes fail to consider the prevalence of smartphones among the elderly and their proficiency in using them. The specific reasons for this problem likely stem from product design: most pillboxes simply set a time and ring at the designated time; a smaller number offer monitoring but lack remote control capabilities, relying on Bluetooth pairing and reverting to a simple alarm clock function after disconnection. Additionally, remote monitoring is prohibitively expensive, requiring a robust software system and a mature platform.

[0045] Against this backdrop, the realization of a smart pillbox capable of remote monitoring is of great significance.

[0046] Therefore, to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings, embodiments of this application provide a smart pillbox that can share data with user devices, so that users of the user devices can monitor the medication usage of the smart pillbox user. Figure 1 As shown, the smart pillbox 10 includes at least one storage component 101 for storing medications. The storage component can be an open container into which the user can place the medication.

[0047] In one implementation, the smart pillbox 10 can be divided into a first component 11 and a second component 12. The first component 11 is used to house the various electronic components involved in the smart pillbox 10, which will be described later. The second component 12 serves as the storage area for the medicines in the smart pillbox 10; that is, storage components are disposed in the second component. Exemplarily, the second component is provided with receiving grooves corresponding to each of the storage components. Figure 2As shown in the exploded view of the smart pillbox, the second component has multiple receiving grooves 102, and each receiving groove 102 corresponds to a storage component 101. Furthermore, the shape of each receiving groove matches the shape of its corresponding storage component. This shape matching can be understood as the receiving groove corresponding to the storage component being able to accommodate that storage component. For example, as shown... Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the size and shape of the storage component match the size and shape of the receiving groove, allowing the storage component to be completely placed within the corresponding receiving groove. Figures 3 to 8 It can be seen that each of the storage components can be housed in and removed from the corresponding receiving groove.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, each storage component is movably connected to a corresponding receiving groove, so that the storage component can be housed in and removed from the corresponding receiving groove. Exemplarily, the storage component and the corresponding receiving groove can be slidably connected. Specifically, the inner wall of the receiving groove is provided with a slide rail, and the outer wall of the storage component is provided with a pulley. The pulley cooperates with the slide rail, allowing the storage component to slide into or out of the receiving groove. Alternatively, the inner wall of the receiving groove may be provided with a pulley, and the outer wall of the storage component may be provided with a slide rail; this is not limited.

[0049] In one implementation, each storage component is rotatably connected to its corresponding receiving groove via a rotating component. For example, this rotating component could be a pivot. Thus, one side of the storage component is connected to its corresponding container groove via the rotating component, allowing the storage component to rotate around this rotating component, for example, with a maximum rotation angle of 90°.

[0050] In one implementation, the second component is divided into multiple designated regions along its height. For example... Figure 4 The second component is divided into a first designated area 21, a second designated area 22, and a third designated area 23. Storage components and receiving grooves are provided in each of the first designated area 21, the second designated area 22, and the third designated area 23. Furthermore, the storage components and receiving grooves appear in pairs, that is, the number of receiving grooves and storage components in each designated area is the same.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, the number of storage components corresponding to each designated area is not entirely the same. For example... Figure 5As shown, the first designated area 21 corresponds to two storage components, namely two storage components 101A; the second designated area 22 corresponds to three storage components, namely three storage components 101B; and the third designated area 23 corresponds to three storage components, namely three storage components 101C. In other words, the second and third designated areas have the same number of storage components, while the first designated area has a different number of storage components than the other two designated areas. Of course, the specific number of storage components in each designated area can be set based on actual usage needs and is not limited here.

[0052] In addition, the maximum volume of each storage component can not be the same, such as Figure 5 Among them, the maximum volume of storage component 101A is greater than the maximum volume of other storage components.

[0053] For example, the smart pillbox is cylindrical, such as in the shape of a cylindrical water cup. The smooth edge design of the water cup shape makes it easy to carry and place; the layered structure also saves space compared to horizontally arranged pillboxes; the volume of the sub-pillboxes (i.e., storage components) is determined by the volume and dosage of the medication. This arrangement makes full use of the pillbox, slows down the rate of medication replacement, and is convenient and efficient.

[0054] Because cuboid structures have many corners and are difficult to carry, the smart pillbox design of this application does not feature multiple horizontally arranged sub-pillboxes, where users would need to open the lid to retrieve the medication. Instead, the smart pillbox provided in this embodiment adopts a cylindrical cup shape, with the sub-pillboxes arranged vertically from top to bottom. Depending on the speed of medication administration and the size of the medication, they are arranged in layers of two, three, or four boxes. Each sub-pillbox can be opened and closed independently, with a maximum rotation angle of 90°. In other words, based on user needs, users can use some or all of the storage components, such as... Figure 5 and 6 It can accommodate some storage components, such as Figure 7 and 8 Users can open all the storage components at once.

[0055] Depending on user needs, smart pillboxes can be portable (three-layer) or home-use (six-layer), differing only in the number of sub-sections. Portable models are smaller and have fewer layers for easy carrying, while home-use models are larger and have more layers, accommodating more medications. The smooth, cup-shaped edge design makes them easy to carry and place; the layered structure, unlike other horizontally arranged pillboxes, saves space; the pillbox's volume is determined by the volume and dosage of the medication, maximizing its utilization and reducing the frequency of medication replacement, making it convenient and efficient.

[0056] As mentioned earlier, the smart pillbox can store medications through multiple storage components. Furthermore, users can remotely monitor the usage information within the smart pillbox. Figure 9 As shown, the smart pillbox 100 also includes a processor 110, a detection module 120, and a wireless transmission module 130. The detection module 120 is located at the storage component and is used to detect drug information. The processor is connected to both the detection module and the wireless transmission module, and is used to generate shared data based on target content, transmitting the shared data to a user device via the wireless transmission module. The target content includes the drug information sent by the detection module. Exemplarily, the processor 110, detection module 120, and wireless transmission module 130 are disposed within a first component. Specifically, the first component has an internal receiving cavity formed by multiple inner walls of the first component, and the processor 110, detection module 120, and wireless transmission module 130 are all disposed within this internal receiving cavity.

[0057] The wireless transmission module 130 refers to a module capable of enabling communication between the smart pillbox and the user device 200. This communication can be a Wi-Fi network or a mobile communication network, and the user device 200 can be a smartphone or tablet computer, etc. As one implementation method, such as... Figure 10 As shown, the smart pillbox is connected to the cloud database 300 via the wireless transmission module 130, and the user device 200 is also connected to the cloud database 300. In other words, the smart pillbox can synchronize data to the cloud database, and the user device can retrieve data related to the smart pillbox from the cloud database, or the cloud database can push data related to the smart pillbox to the user device.

[0058] In this embodiment of the application, the wireless transmission module 130 may include a WiFi submodule and a SIM card submodule, that is, the wireless transmission module 130 can support both Wi-Fi network and mobile communication network modes.

[0059] The detection module 120 corresponds to a storage component. For example, one detection module 120 can be set for each storage component. That is, each detection module 120 is used to detect the drug information in its corresponding storage component. The drug information may include drug quantity information, which may include first information and second information. The first information indicates that there is drug in the storage component, and the second information indicates that there is no drug in the storage component, that is, the drug in the storage component has been used up. In other words, the first and second information are used to inform the smart pillbox whether there is any drug remaining in the storage component. As another implementation, the quantity information may include the weight or number of particles of the drug in the storage component.

[0060] For example, the detection module can be an optical sensor, such as an infrared sensor, used to detect the remaining amount of medication in the storage component. By placing the optical sensor at the bottom of the storage component, the system can accurately display the medication status in each area after the medication is placed inside, provided the infrared monitoring coverage of each area is above 95%, thus accurately determining the remaining medication amount. In other words, the remaining medication amount can be estimated by the light transmittance; if the light is completely transmitted, it indicates that there is no medication left.

[0061] Alternatively, the detection module can also be a pressure sensor, which can be installed at the bottom of the storage component. When drugs are stored in the storage component, the pressure sensor can obtain the total weight. Then, based on the individual weight of each drug, the number of drug particles in the storage component can be obtained by the ratio of the total weight to the weight of each drug.

[0062] In one implementation, the processor 110 may include one or more processing cores. The processor 110 connects to various electronic components within the smart pillbox 10 using various interfaces and lines, and performs various functions and processes data of the smart pillbox 10 by running or executing instructions, programs, code sets, or instruction sets stored in memory, and by calling data stored in memory. Optionally, the processor 110 may be implemented using at least one hardware form of Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), or Programmable Logic Array (PLA). The processor 110 may integrate one or a combination of several of the following: Central Processing Unit (CPU), Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and modem.

[0063] The processor can acquire drug information collected by the detection module, and then generate shared data based on the target content. The target content can include the drug information sent by the detection module. In other words, the smart pillbox can at least synchronize drug information with the user's device. Of course, it can also include other information, such as the smart pillbox's battery level, set reminder information, and description information of stored drugs, etc., which are not limited here.

[0064] In one implementation, the smart pillbox also includes a reminder module, operation buttons, and driving components. For example... Figure 11 As shown, the reminder module 140, operation button 150 and driver device 160 are all connected to the processor 110.

[0065] The reminder module 140 is connected to the processor 110 and is used to perform reminder operations based on reminder instructions set by the processor 110. The reminder instructions set by the processor 110 can be reminder instructions generated by the processor 110 based on reminder requests sent by the user device. For example, if the user device sends a reminder request to remind the user to take medication at a specific time, the processor, upon determining that the specific time has arrived, generates a reminder instruction and sends it to the reminder module 140, triggering the reminder module to perform the reminder operation. Of course, the reminder instruction can also be an operation based on reminders from the user to the smart pillbox, such as when the user sets a timed reminder using the smart pillbox. The specific method is not limited here.

[0066] In one implementation, the reminder module includes an indicator light that emits light to serve as a reminder. For example, when the smart pillbox reminds a user to take medication, it can do so by illuminating the indicator light, emitting a specific color of light, or flashing it. Additionally, in this embodiment, each storage component may be equipped with at least one indicator light, allowing the smart pillbox to selectively trigger certain indicator lights. Specifically, after receiving a medication instruction from a user device, the processor further determines the first medication corresponding to the instruction and the first storage component corresponding to the first medication, and controls the indicator light corresponding to the first storage component to illuminate. The first storage component is one of multiple storage components of the smart pillbox that stores the first medication; similarly, the number of storage components can also be multiple.

[0067] In one implementation, after the processor obtains the medication instruction, it determines the first drug, the first storage component corresponding to the first drug, and the reminder time based on the medication instruction. When the reminder time arrives, it controls the indicator light corresponding to the first storage component to illuminate. When it detects that the first storage component has been opened, it turns off the indicator light corresponding to the first storage component. Each storage component of the smart pillbox is equipped with an opening / closing status monitoring device to detect whether the storage component has been opened. For example, the opening / closing status monitoring device can be a magnetic fixing device, which is installed on the inner wall of the receiving groove, and the outer wall of the storage component is provided with a metal part. Therefore, when the storage component is closed, the indicator light corresponding to the first storage component will illuminate. The metal part of the storage component contacts the magnetic fixing device in the corresponding receiving groove of the storage component. When the storage component is opened, the metal part of the storage component does not contact the magnetic fixing device in the corresponding receiving groove. The processor can detect whether there is contact between the metal part and the magnetic fixing device to determine whether the storage component has been opened. Alternatively, the processor can determine whether the storage component has been opened by using the output signal of the corresponding driving device. Another option is to install a rotation sensor on the rotating component between the storage component and the receiving groove, and determine whether the storage component has been opened based on the rotation angle detected by the rotation sensor. It is understood that the indicator light mentioned in this embodiment can be continuously lit or flashing; there is no limitation on this.

[0068] Alternatively, after detecting that the first storage component has been opened, the indicator light can be kept on, and the drug change information in the first storage component can be determined by the detection module corresponding to the first storage component. If the drug change information is that the drug quantity has decreased, the indicator light can be turned off.

[0069] It should be noted that in some embodiments, the indicator light can be disposed within the receiving groove. Since a gap exists between the storage component and the receiving groove after the storage component is housed there, the light emitted by the indicator light can still be observed by the user. In other embodiments, the indicator light can be disposed on a designated outer wall of the storage component. The outer wall of the storage component refers to the designated outer wall away from the corresponding receiving groove of the storage component, such as... Figure 12 As shown, the indicator light 103 can be a light strip installed on a designated outer wall of the storage component. Figure 12 The drawn stars represent that indicator light 103 is emitting light. Of course, this indicator light can also be an LED light-emitting diode instead of a light strip; there is no limitation on this.

[0070] Therefore, the pillbox area includes LED lighting, an automatic dispensing and closing mechanism, a detection device, and an internal magnetic fixing device. The pillboxes are divided into different volumes based on medication frequency and volume to ensure efficient resource allocation and extend usage time. Each pillbox has an LED indicator light on its outer opening. When it's time to take the medication, the pillbox to be used will light up with the support of the circuit system, and the automatic dispensing and closing mechanism will open automatically according to the user's instructions and with the support of the power system.

[0071] In one implementation, the reminder module may further include an audio player, with the processor triggering the audio player to play a preset reminder voice. That is, the reminder module can be at least one of an indicator light and an audio player. Figure 12 As shown, the reminder module of the smart pillbox includes both an indicator light 103 and an audio player 104, which can play reminder voice messages.

[0072] Understandably, the reminder module enables the smart pillbox to have a reminder function. This means the pillbox can play back instructions from the app, such as the most basic information about the medication to be taken at the prescribed time, the method of administration, and precautions, and provide feedback to the app user on medication information, such as whether the medication was taken on time and correctly. Specifically, the indicator light has a light reminder function. After receiving the medication instruction from the app, the pillbox will continuously flash an LED light on its exterior to alert the user. The light will only turn off when the user presses the open button, providing the first layer of reminders for medication use.

[0073] In addition, the audio player can also have voice functionality. Specifically, it can remind patients to take their medication via commands sent through the app and read aloud by the audio player. These reminders include an initial ringing reminder, followed by a read-out announcement of the dosage, medication name, precautions, and contraindications before the patient takes their medication, ensuring accurate dosage. After taking the medication, it reminds the patient to close the pillbox to prevent contamination and provides an update on the next dose time. Voice prompts serve as a second layer of reminder after the light alert. This combination of light and voice reminders allows users to understand medication information both visually and aurally.

[0074] In one implementation, the smart pillbox also includes control buttons. When the processor detects that the control button has been pressed, it determines the second medication to be taken and the corresponding second storage component. It then sends a drive signal to the drive component corresponding to the second storage component, causing the drive component to rotate its corresponding rotating component, thereby moving the storage component out of its corresponding receiving groove. The second medication to be taken can be determined based on a medication identifier included in a medication instruction currently received by the smart pillbox, or it can be determined from a pre-set medication reminder containing a medication identifier and a corresponding medication time. The target medication reminder with the smallest time difference from the current time is identified, and the medication identifier in that target reminder is selected as the second medication. Then, based on a pre-stored correspondence between medication identifiers for each storage component, the corresponding second storage component is determined.

[0075] It is understandable that the processor can sense user actions on the operation buttons. For example, if the operation button is a physical button, pressing it will affect the voltage value of the port connected to that button in the processor, thus confirming that the operation button has been pressed. Furthermore, for user convenience, the operation button can be located on the top of the smart pillbox, specifically on the top of the outer wall of the first component's housing.

[0076] Therefore, by combining operation buttons and driving mechanisms, the smart pillbox has an automatic opening and closing function. Specifically, at an appropriate time, such as when the user needs to take medication or at the aforementioned reminder time (i.e., while the light is flashing and a voice prompt is given), the patient presses the button on the top of the pillbox. The relevant sub-pillbox (i.e., the aforementioned second storage component) will automatically open by rotating its shaft forward under the action of the power system, effectively preventing the patient from mistakenly opening the wrong box and taking the wrong medication, thus significantly reducing the risk. After the patient finishes taking the medication, upon receiving a voice prompt, the patient only needs to press the button again to automatically close the pillbox by rotating its shaft in the opposite direction. Furthermore, the fitting area on the edge of the box is covered with rubber, ensuring that the pillbox is completely sealed after closing, preventing contamination of the medication.

[0077] In other words, if the detection module determines that the amount of medicine in the second storage component has decreased, the reminder module will remind the user to close the second storage component again. If the user clicks the operation button again, the processor will control the corresponding drive device of the second storage component to drive the rotating part of the second storage component to rotate, thereby closing the second storage component.

[0078] It should be noted that, in addition to the detection module, the smart pillbox also includes an auxiliary module. This auxiliary module can detect auxiliary information, including at least one of temperature, humidity, and particle concentration. In other words, the auxiliary module can include at least one of a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a particle concentration sensor. This auxiliary module can be installed at the location of each storage component to detect the auxiliary information of each component. Therefore, if the auxiliary module includes a temperature sensor, a humidity sensor, and a particle concentration sensor, then combined with the detection module, the smart pillbox has the function of monitoring the remaining medication level and status. Specifically, the remaining medication level and the temperature, humidity, and particle concentration inside the pillbox will be transmitted to the APP after each dose via sensors. The remaining medication level function ensures timely replenishment when the medication is low; the internal status of the pillbox ensures the cleanliness of the pillbox and prevents contamination of the medication. If the concentration exceeds a threshold, the system will promptly detect and issue a warning.

[0079] Please see Figure 13 , Figure 13 The following is an embodiment of the implementation of the various electronic components of a smart pillbox.

[0080] Figure 13 The control system of the smart pillbox shown includes a main control board that is the aforementioned processor. Specifically, the smart pillbox uses a microcontroller as its microprocessor, which serves as the main control board. In other words, the aforementioned processor can be a microcontroller, such as an STM32F103 microcontroller. The opening and closing of the pillbox is controlled by a motor drive module, which includes driving components. When the patient presses the open button, the target sub-pillbox is driven by the L298N motor drive chip to rotate the shaft forward, causing the target sub-pillbox to rotate out of the box. After the patient takes the medication, pressing the button again causes the shaft to rotate in the reverse direction, automatically rotating and closing the target sub-pillbox.

[0081] like Figure 14As shown, the control system of the smart pillbox is mainly controlled by a microcontroller, which handles control signals, power supply, motor drive signals, voice signals, and audio-visual reminder signals, implemented through the PA port, part of the PB port, and the PC port, respectively. The medication detection system within the smart system includes an ST188 infrared monitoring module and a PM2.5 detection module, each composed of an infrared sensor and a PM2.5 sensor, respectively. The infrared detection primarily detects the remaining medication in the pillbox. When medication is placed in the pillbox area, the system can accurately display the medication status in each area with an infrared monitoring coverage rate of over 95%, accurately determining the remaining medication. The monitoring module predicts the amount of medication taken before and after administration based on the type of medication in the pillbox, enabling medication dosage monitoring. The PM2.5 detection module detects temperature, humidity, and dust concentration inside the pillbox. When the concentration exceeds a threshold, it automatically transmits the information to the microcontroller, which then sends an alarm to the app. After the user finishes taking the medication, the microcontroller sends various feedback information, such as medication status, remaining medication, and medication condition, to the cloud, which then transmits the information to the app interface for synchronization.

[0082] Please see Figure 15 , Figure 15 A pillbox control method applied to the aforementioned smart pillbox is shown, wherein the method can be executed by the processor of the smart pillbox. Specifically, the method includes steps S1501 to S1502.

[0083] S1501: Generate shared data based on target content, wherein the target content includes drug information sent by the detection module.

[0084] In one implementation, the target content may include drug information sent by the detection module. The smart pillbox can generate shared data by obtaining drug inventory information based on the drug information sent by the detection module. The drug inventory information may include drug identification and the remaining quantity corresponding to the drug identification. Alternatively, it may obtain drug administration information based on the drug information sent by the detection module. The drug administration information may be the result of taking the target drug, such as whether the target drug was taken on time. The specific information can be set based on actual usage needs.

[0085] S1502: The shared data is transmitted to the user equipment via the wireless transmission module.

[0086] In one implementation, the smart pillbox can provide feedback on whether the user is taking their medication correctly. Specifically, it acquires the user's current medication plan information, which includes the name of the medication to be taken and the corresponding time for taking it. Based on the name of the medication to be taken, it determines the target storage component corresponding to the medication. Based on the detection module, it determines the changes in the medication to be taken within the target storage component during a specified time period corresponding to the time of taking it. Based on the changes, it determines the result of taking the medication, which is then used as the shared data.

[0087] For example, the smart pillbox can obtain the user's current medication plan information by having the user's device send it to the smart pillbox. The smart pillbox then parses the medication plan information to obtain the name of the medication to be taken and the corresponding time for taking the medication.

[0088] In one implementation, a first time period and a second time period are determined based on the administration time of the medication to be taken. Specifically, a designated time start point is determined based on the administration time. This designated time start point can be the moment corresponding to a first duration preceding the administration time. The designated time start point is set slightly earlier than the administration time because it is considered that the user may take the medication slightly earlier than the administration time. For example, if the administration time is a time period, the aforementioned designated time start point refers to the moment corresponding to the first duration preceding the administration time; if the administration time is a moment, the aforementioned designated time start point refers to the moment corresponding to the first duration preceding the administration time.

[0089] Then, the time period before the specified time start point is determined as the first time period. For example, it could be the time period between a specified moment and the specified time start point. The specified moment could be the moment the smart pillbox receives the medication plan information sent by the user device, or it could be the moment the smart pillbox last detected that the medication to be taken had been taken. This first time period could be the time period corresponding to a preset time length between the specified time start point and the specified time start point. This preset time length could be a time length set based on actual usage needs. The second time period could be the time period after the specified time start point. For example, the length of the second time period could be set based on actual usage needs. For instance, if the medication time is a time period, meaning it corresponds to a time start and a time end, then the second time period is the time period between the specified time start point and the time end of the medication time. Therefore, the specified time period corresponding to the medication time could be either the first time period or the second time period.

[0090] The detection module obtains the first remaining amount of the drug to be taken in the target storage component within the first time period and the second remaining amount of the drug to be taken in the target storage component within the second time period. If the first remaining amount is greater than the second remaining amount, it is determined that the drug to be taken has been taken; otherwise, it is determined that the drug to be taken has not been taken.

[0091] As another implementation, determining the specified time period corresponding to the administration time can also involve determining a specified time period based on the administration time, where the specified time period completely covers the administration time, and the duration of the specified time period is greater than or equal to the administration time. Then, within this specified time period, the detection module acquires multiple inventory values ​​of the medication to be taken in the target storage component, and determines change information of the medication to be taken based on these multiple inventory values. This change information can include a decrease, an increase, or no change. Then, determining the administration result of the medication to be taken based on the change information can be implemented as follows: if the change information is a decrease, the administration result is determined to be that the medication has been taken; if the change information is no change or an increase, the administration result is determined to be that the medication has not been taken.

[0092] Therefore, the smart pillbox shares the medication results as shared data with the user's device, enabling the user to obtain information about the user's medication usage based on these results.

[0093] Furthermore, in the case of sending the medication results as shared data to the user device, the remaining amount of medication in the target storage component can also be sent as shared data to the user device, so that the user of the user device can know whether the remaining amount of medication is sufficient.

[0094] Furthermore, after determining the result of taking the medication based on the change information, it can be determined whether the result is that the medication was not taken. If the result is that the medication was not taken, the reminder module is controlled to issue a reminder message to prompt the user to take the medication.

[0095] It should be noted that sending the remaining amount of medication as shared data to the user device is not limited to feedback based on the medication plan information; it can also be done in other scenarios. Specifically, the implementation method for generating shared data based on medication information sent by the detection module can be: determining the target medication to be viewed; and obtaining the remaining amount of medication in the storage component corresponding to the target medication based on the detection module, as shared data. As one implementation, the target medication to be viewed can be the medication requested to be viewed included in the viewing request sent by the user device, i.e., the viewing request includes a target medication identifier. After the smart pillbox obtains the viewing request, it can determine the target medication to be viewed. Alternatively, the smart pillbox can proactively feed back shared data to the user device. In this case, the target medication can be a medication whose inventory has recently changed. For example, determining the medication identifiers stored in each storage component of the smart pillbox, and identifying the medication identifier whose inventory has changed within a third time period as the target medication. Here, the third time period can be a time period corresponding to the length of time preceding the current moment.

[0096] Another implementation method is that the smart pillbox will intermittently share the remaining amount of medicine stored in each storage component as shared data to the user device according to a preset cycle. In this case, the target medicine can be the medicine stored in each storage component.

[0097] In addition to the aforementioned functions of the reminder module, driver module, and operation buttons for the smart pillbox, the smart pillbox also has reminder functions, smart opening functions, etc. For details, please refer to the aforementioned embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0098] Please see Figure 16 , Figure 16 An information processing method is illustrated, and the subject executing the method can be the aforementioned user equipment. Specifically, the method includes steps S1601 to S1602.

[0099] S1601: Obtain the shared data sent by the smart pillbox.

[0100] It should be noted that the method of generating and sending shared data by the smart pillbox can be referred to the aforementioned embodiments of the smart pillbox and the pillbox control method, and will not be repeated here.

[0101] S1602: Display the shared data on a specified interface of a specified client.

[0102] In one implementation, the designated client can be an APP for managing and operating the smart pillbox. In this case, the designated interface can be the homepage of the smart pillbox or the content display interface of the smart pillbox, and there is no limitation here.

[0103] like Figure 17 As shown, this designated client can be divided into four main sections: Homepage, Discover, Pharmacy, and User Center, with an additional floating window for a smart doctor. The Homepage displays the medication plans and dosage status of users within the family group, monitors remaining pillboxes, and includes search and QR code recognition functions. The Pharmacy categorizes various medications and health products, and provides smart product recommendations based on the user's individual needs. The User Center section consists of My Health Information, Purchase Medications, My Discounts, Toolbox, Family Group Management, and My Favorites. Figure 18 The interface shown is the user center interface, which includes a monitoring interface displaying medication records and reminders synchronized with the medicine box and app. The usage flow of this specified client is as follows: Figure 19 As shown.

[0104] It should be noted that remote monitoring is an important function that users can achieve through a designated client (hereinafter referred to as the APP) and the smart pillbox. On the APP homepage, users will see the pillboxes they have bound (their own or the pillboxes they are supervising). By selecting the pillbox they want to monitor and clicking to enter, various information about the user of that pillbox will be displayed.

[0105] As one implementation method, referring to the aforementioned embodiments, the designated client, combined with the smart pillbox, can realize the function of medication reminder. If the medications have been set, the user can view or modify the dosing time for each medication in each pillbox. In other words, after setting medications in the designated client, the user can set the dosing time for each medication in the smart pillbox bound to that client. After setting, the user can modify or view the dosing time for each medication. In addition, the user can also add new medication information, such as the medication name and type, dosage and dosing time, and notes for the patient taking the medication.

[0106] In some embodiments, the designated client can also display medication status, which can be the aforementioned medication result. That is, the designated client sends a reminder request to the smart pillbox, the reminder request including medication plan information, which includes the name of the medication to be taken and the corresponding time for taking the medication; and obtains shared data returned by the smart pillbox, the shared data including the medication result. After the designated client obtains the medication result sent by the smart pillbox, if the result is "taken," the app will display "medication taken." If the patient has not taken the medication at the prescribed time (i.e., the result is "not taken"), the user can use the app's one-click warning function. In this case, the pillbox will continuously broadcast reminders until the patient takes the medication. In other words, the user can check whether the patient has correctly taken the medication within the prescribed time.

[0107] In other embodiments, users can view medication records through a designated client. That is, the designated client determines the target user's medication records based on the target user's medication information within a preset time period; the medication records are then sent to the designated clients corresponding to each user in the target user's user group. The preset time period can be a pre-set monitoring period, such as a week, a day, or a month. The medication records can be generated by recording each change in the target drug within the preset time period. The change information can include the amount and time of change, and the target drug refers to the drug to be monitored. Therefore, the app will automatically generate a summary of medication record information daily, weekly, and monthly, making the user's medication situation clearer.

[0108] In some other embodiments, users can view the medication information for each pillbox. This medication information can be obtained by the user manually adding the medication within the app, or through the scanning function of the designated client, for example... Figure 17 The scan function in the upper right corner of the interface allows users to scan the entire image of the medicine box or its barcode, automatically generating medication information. Users can access the instructions (i.e., medication information) through a designated client. The system automatically generates corresponding precautions and contraindications based on the patient's health information, providing intelligent analysis to ensure more rational and accurate medication use. The system also automatically recommends medication for sale, allowing users to directly access the pharmacy's sales interface.

[0109] In addition, users can check the remaining amount in each pillbox after each patient takes their medication. Specifically, as mentioned above, the smart pillbox can obtain the user's current medication plan information, which includes the name of the medication to be taken and the corresponding administration time. Based on the name of the medication to be taken, a target storage component corresponding to the medication is determined. Based on the detection module, the changes in the amount of medication to be taken in the target storage component within a specified time period corresponding to the administration time are determined. Based on the changes in the changes, the administration result of the medication to be taken is determined, and the administration result and the remaining amount of medication in the target storage component are sent as shared data to a designated client. This prevents unnecessary impacts caused by medication shortages leading to missed medication, and can also detect the temperature, humidity, and particle concentration in each pillbox to prevent drug contamination due to the environment, achieving drug environment monitoring.

[0110] In addition, such as Figure 20The designated client also has the function of adding medications. For example, by combining the patient's personal health information with the instructions for each medication, it finds the medication information the user wants to add, intelligently recommends a reasonable medication time, and corresponds to the medication reminders in the monitoring function. Users can add or query medication instructions in three ways. The added medications are stored in each pillbox, corresponding to the types of medications stored in the pillboxes in the monitoring function.

[0111] The first method is the search method. Users can use the search function of a specified client to search for the condition they want to know about or the medication information they want to add (such as the medication name or function). The system will list the most relevant medications for the user and automatically recommend places to buy the medication. Correspondingly, the medication information and the places to buy the medication can be displayed through the specified client.

[0112] The second method is scanning and identification. If the user has already obtained the medication, they can directly click the QR code recognition function next to the search function to scan the barcode on the physical medication packaging. The system will then use its big data retrieval function to search for the user's medication information and accurately display it. The scanning and identification function is more convenient and accurate than the search function. Specifically, the user can scan the medication barcode or the entire image. The big data system will automatically search for the corresponding medication and all instructions. AI will automatically extract target information, such as ingredients, dosage, recommended dosing time, and precautions / contraindications. Because scanning directly retrieves the medication information, it is highly accurate, eliminating the tediousness and inaccuracies of manual addition.

[0113] The third method is manual addition. This is the most basic function; users can manually add medication information in the medication reminders section of the monitoring function. During the addition process, the system will automatically recognize the text entered by the user and intelligently recommend the most relevant medication for the user to choose from and refer to.

[0114] As one implementation method, this designated client can also provide the function of an intelligent doctor. Specifically, based on big data analysis, the intelligent doctor allows users to describe their symptoms through dialogue to inquire about possible diseases and provides corresponding treatment measures and drug recommendations (non-prescription drugs) to solve some basic and common minor ailments. However, given the complexity and uncertainty of symptoms, for safety reasons, if the symptoms entered by the patient are more serious and exceed the scope of the intelligent doctor's services, the system will suggest that the user go to the hospital for further examination.

[0115] like Figure 21As shown, the designated client also features a family circle function. The family circle function is an information-sharing group among family members established based on the monitoring function. Within the family circle, the medication information and status of family members can be monitored. In addition, the family circle automatically pushes the medication records of patients taking medication once a day at a set time. Even without a bound pillbox, medication information can be viewed through the family circle, achieving information sharing within the circle. If all family circle members are supervisors, for example, some elderly people taking medication do not know how to use smartphones or register accounts, the person taking the medication will be automatically simulated as a member of the family circle. The family circle will automatically push the above-mentioned information daily for all supervisors to view. The family circle also functions as a group chat, where family members can chat and share recommended articles and health products seen in the following forums or online stores.

[0116] Furthermore, the designated client also has a health information generation function. If the patient taking the medication directly binds the box, they can fill in their own health information, and the regulator can directly view the health information filling status of the regulated person. If the regulator binds the box on behalf of the patient, the regulator can fill in the health information of the regulated person.

[0117] The above describes two scenarios for filling in health information. Health information includes the patient's personal identification, vital organs, family medical history, medical conditions, medications, allergens, immunity, dietary restrictions, and genomic data. The health information generation function is based on this. After completion, the system automatically saves the health information and performs intelligent analysis. Subsequently, when the user adds medication to the pillbox, the system automatically compares the patient's health information and personalizes the medication instructions to better suit the patient's needs. This information is also transmitted to the offline pillbox. When the patient takes the medication, the voice system automatically broadcasts customized medication information and precautions, such as allergies and dietary restrictions, ensuring truly accurate medication administration. Furthermore, the system will automatically recommend relevant forum articles and health supplements from the pharmacy based on the user's information. The health information generation function is only used for intelligent system analysis. This application maintains absolute confidentiality regarding the information and can only be used with the user's authorization. Authorization can be terminated and use discontinued.

[0118] Therefore, compared to traditional non-smart pillboxes, this one features more intelligent light and voice reminders, along with a triple intelligent reminder system for dispensing medication, making it much less likely for patients to overdose, miss doses, or take the wrong medication. Furthermore, the application of a large-volume, high-energy-storage lithium battery charging system extends battery life. The pillbox is not a standalone product. It integrates with an app system, operates under system commands, and transmits user data back to the cloud, making the pillbox intelligent and technologically advanced, aligning with modern development trends.

[0119] Furthermore, remote monitoring is a core advantage of the smart pillbox and APP provided in this application. Compared to using Bluetooth to connect to the pillbox within a very small range and set medication reminders, once the phone and pillbox are disconnected, they cannot synchronize data or monitor each other. Data is only updated when Bluetooth is reconnected, meaning that without Bluetooth connection, the pillbox is merely a pre-set alarm clock. This application addresses this vulnerability by combining microcontroller technology and IoT technology with cloud support for big data to truly synchronize data between the pillbox and the APP. This allows family members, regardless of distance, to monitor the patient's medication adherence via their mobile phones, promptly detect any missed doses, and notify the patient.

[0120] In addition, this method solves the problem that the elderly cannot use smart pillboxes because they are not good at or know how to use smartphones. Other family members can remotely control the pillbox by binding it. The elderly only need to take their medicine on time according to the three reminders at the set time. The establishment of the family circle also allows family members to directly understand each other's situation, truly making themselves feel at ease and their families feel at ease.

[0121] Furthermore, intelligent analysis is integrated into every aspect of the app system. Based on the analysis of patients' health information, it intelligently recommends and reminds users when selecting and adding medications, making the medication process more accurate and preventing incorrect or accidental medication selection. The system also intelligently recommends articles and products that meet user needs in forums and the app store based on user habits, preferences, and personal health information. In addition, the intelligent doctor system analyzes the user's described symptoms and provides reasonable and accurate suggestions and solutions to address basic, common minor ailments (for severe symptoms, the system automatically recommends hospital visits).

[0122] From offline smart pillboxes to online monitoring functions, the establishment of family communities, online diagnosis by smart doctors, search and recognition, and the establishment of forums and online stores, this application does not just create a smart pillbox, but builds a complete medical ecosystem based on a monitorable pillbox. This allows users to obtain one-stop services from buying medicine to taking it and then to post-treatment rehabilitation, which is convenient, fast, and highly accurate.

[0123] like Figure 22 As shown, this application fully utilizes big data collection and big data processing based on artificial intelligence algorithms. Firstly, the core monitoring function involves the APP transmitting medication reminders and voice broadcasts to the pillbox via the cloud. The smart pillbox then uploads the collected medication information to a cloud database, which stores, analyzes, and feeds back the data to the APP user.

[0124] Data upload utilizes network communication technology. When Wi-Fi is available, data transmitted from the medicine box is uploaded to the cloud database wirelessly. When Wi-Fi is unavailable, the data is uploaded via a SIM card built into the medicine box's main unit. This allows family members to synchronize data and remotely monitor the device regardless of their location. Furthermore, considering the needs of elderly individuals, this application simplifies the process by addressing their limitations with smartphones, allowing family members to easily set up the system. The user simply needs to take the medicine on time, and data is synchronized as long as the medicine box has remaining battery power, enabling continuous monitoring.

[0125] Therefore, the product's intelligent and technological features meet users' medication needs and align with modern development trends. The remote monitoring function allows users to synchronize their family members' medication information in real time, ensuring peace of mind for both themselves and their families. The smart pillbox, combined with the "Yaoxiang" APP, features big data intelligent analysis capabilities, providing users with more considerate, comprehensive, and convenient personalized services. The establishment of a complete medical ecosystem enables users to obtain one-stop services from purchasing medicine to taking it and subsequent rehabilitation by using the smart pillbox and designated client.

[0126] Most other pillboxes currently available are primarily designed for storage and retain the design features of conventional pillboxes. Such designs can only address one or two problems at a time, and most pillboxes do not actually assist in taking medication.

[0127] like Figure 23 As shown, this application primarily establishes a service system connecting medication patients, the Medication Sharing Cloud Box, the Medication Sharing APP, and the supervisor (family circle). This system enables information synchronization and real-time monitoring, accurately tracking user medication information and mitigating unnecessary risks associated with medication. It also allows family members to understand each other's situations, providing peace of mind for both the patient and their family. The intelligent reminders on the pillbox effectively reduce the occurrence of overdosing or missed doses among the elderly, lowering the frequency of accidents caused by accidental ingestion; and improve the regularity of medication use among the predominantly younger population. This transforms the pillbox from a mere alarm clock into something more than just a ringing alarm.

[0128] Please see Figure 24 The diagram shows a structural block diagram of a pillbox control device 2400 provided in an embodiment of this application. The device is applied to the processor in the aforementioned smart pillbox. Specifically, the device may include a generation unit 2401 and a sending unit 2402.

[0129] The generation unit 2401 is used to generate shared data based on target content, wherein the target content includes drug information sent by the detection module.

[0130] Furthermore, the generation unit 2401 is also used to obtain the user's current medication plan information for the smart pillbox, the medication plan information including the name of the drug to be taken and the corresponding time of administration; determine the target storage component corresponding to the drug based on the name of the drug to be taken; determine the change information of the drug to be taken in the target storage component within a specified time period corresponding to the administration time based on the detection module; and determine the administration result of the drug to be taken based on the change information, as the shared data.

[0131] Furthermore, the shared data also includes the remaining amount of drug within the target storage component.

[0132] Furthermore, the generation unit 2401 is also used to determine the target drug to be viewed; and to obtain the remaining amount of a third drug in the storage component corresponding to the target drug based on the detection module, as shared data.

[0133] Furthermore, the generation unit 2401 is also used to obtain a viewing request sent by the user equipment, the viewing request including the name of the target drug; parse the viewing request, and determine the target drug.

[0134] The transmitting unit 2402 is used to transmit the shared data to the user equipment through the wireless transmission module.

[0135] Furthermore, the pillbox control device 2400 also includes a reminder unit, which controls the reminder module to issue a reminder message to prompt the user to take the medication if the result of the medication is not taken.

[0136] Those skilled in the art will clearly understand that, for the sake of convenience and brevity, the specific working process of the above-described device and module can be referred to the corresponding process in the foregoing method embodiments, and will not be repeated here.

[0137] In the several embodiments provided in this application, the coupling between modules can be electrical, mechanical, or other forms of coupling.

[0138] Furthermore, the functional modules in the various embodiments of this application can be integrated into one processing module, or each module can exist physically separately, or two or more modules can be integrated into one module.
