[0053] The smartphone 10 configured in this manner is set to a shooting mode in response to a user's instruction input using the touch panel display 14 or the like, and can capture moving images and still images using the in-camera 20 and the out-camera 22.

[0054] When the smartphone 10 is set to the shooting mode, it enters a shooting standby state, and a video is captured by the in-camera 20 or the out-camera 22, and the captured video is displayed on the touch panel display 14 as a live view image.

[0055] The user can visually check the live view image displayed on the touch panel display 14 to determine the composition, confirm the subject they want to photograph, and set the photographing conditions.

[0056] When the smartphone 10 is in a standby state for shooting and receives an instruction to shoot by a user input using the touch panel display 14 or the like, the smartphone 10 performs AF (Autofocus) and AE (Auto Exposure) control, and shoots and stores videos and still images.

[0057] [Functional configuration as a drug identification device] Fig. 4 is a block diagram showing the functional configuration of the drug identification device 100 realized by the smartphone 10. Each function of the drug identification device 100 is realized by the CPU 28 executing a program stored in the memory 34. As shown in Fig. 4, the drug identification device 100 includes a dose timing input screen display unit 102, a dose timing acquisition unit 104, an image acquisition unit 106, a drug inference unit 108, a drug confirmation screen display unit 110, a confirmation processing unit 112, a dose timing application unit 114, and an application display unit 116.

[0058] The dosing timing input screen display unit 102 displays a screen for inputting drug dosing timing on the touch panel display 14. The drug dosing timing input screen is a screen for receiving user input of the dosing timing of the drug to be identified. The dosing timing is the time when the patient takes the drug, and examples include upon waking up, before breakfast, after breakfast, before lunch, after lunch, before dinner, after dinner, between meals, and before going to bed. The dosing timing input screen display unit 102 may display a dosing timing that allows the user to select a desired dosing timing from among preset timings.

[0059] The medication timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the medication timing accepted on the medication timing input screen. The medication timing acquisition unit 104 accepts input by the user's touch operation on the touch panel display 14. The user may input the medication timing by tapping the desired timing from among the timings displayed as selectable timings.

[0060] The dosing timing acquisition unit 104 may acquire the dosing timing by reading characters printed on the bag from a captured image of a white medicine bag or sachet containing the drug to be identified. The dosing timing acquisition unit 104 may acquire the dosing timing by combining the results of reading the characters on the bag with user input on a screen for inputting drug dosing timing. For example, characters such as "before meals," "after meals," "after meals" + "within 30 minutes" may be read from the image, and combined with the user-inputted "morning," dosing timings such as "before breakfast," "after breakfast," and "within 30 minutes after breakfast" may be acquired.

[0061] The image acquisition unit 106 acquires a captured image, which is a still image of the drug to be identified. The captured image is, for example, an image captured by the in-camera 20 or the out-camera 22. The captured image may be an image acquired from another device via the wireless communication unit 30, the external storage unit 38, or the external input / output unit 40.

[0062] The captured image may include a plurality of identification target drugs. The plurality of identification target drugs are not limited to the same type of identification target drugs, and may be identification target drugs of different types.

[0063] The photographed image may be an image of a sachet containing a plurality of medicines to be identified. The sachet may be entirely or partially transparent or semi-transparent.

[0064] The drug inference unit 108 infers a correct drug for the drug to be identified from the captured image and acquires multiple candidate drugs for the correct drug. The drug inference unit 108 may infer a correct drug for the drug to be identified using a trained model (not shown). The trained model may be a model that outputs candidate drugs for the correct drug for the drug to be identified when an area of ​​the captured image containing the drug to be identified is input. The trained model may be a convolutional neural network (CNN).

[0065] The drug confirmation screen display unit 110 displays a drug confirmation screen on the touch panel display 14. The drug confirmation screen is a screen that accepts input for confirming the drug to be identified and taken at the dosing timing acquired by the dosing timing acquisition unit 104. The drug confirmation screen may include at least one of a drug display screen that displays a captured drug image, a designation screen that accepts designation of a drug from the drug image, and a text input screen that accepts input of the drug name or drug identification code of the designated drug. The drug display screen, designation screen, and text input screen may be included in a single screen. The drug display screen, designation screen, and text input screen may be planned to be displayed as multiple screens in advance. The drug display screen, designation screen, and text input screen may be configured so that, while any one of the screens is displayed, the user can switch to displaying another screen.

[0066] The confirmation processing unit 112 confirms the drug to be identified in response to a confirmation operation received on the drug confirmation screen. The confirmation processing unit 112 receives a confirmation operation by a touch operation on the touch panel display 14 by the user.

[0067] The drug confirmation screen display unit 110 may display a plurality of candidate drugs for the correct drug of the drug to be identified on the drug confirmation screen in a selectable manner. The confirmation processing unit 112 may accept an operation to select a correct drug from the plurality of candidate drugs displayed, and may confirm the selected candidate drug as the correct drug of the drug to be identified.

[0068] The dose timing application unit 114 applies the dose timing acquired by the dose timing acquisition unit 104 to all the drugs to be identified that have been confirmed by the confirmation processing unit 112. Applying the dose timing means, for example, associating a dose timing with each drug to be identified.

[0069] The application display unit 116 displays on the touch panel display 14 a message that the dosing timing has been applied to all of the drugs to be identified that have been confirmed by the confirmation processing unit 112. The application display unit 116 may display a list of the confirmed drugs to be identified, and may display a message in the list of drugs to be identified that the dosing timing has been applied. By displaying this message in the list, the user can easily determine whether or not correction is necessary.

[0070] When the dosing timing acquisition unit 104 receives input of multiple dosing timings within a predetermined period, the dosing timing application unit 114 calculates the total amount of each confirmed drug to be taken within the predetermined period, and the application display unit 116 may display the calculated total. For example, if the predetermined period is one day and the drug is taken three times a day, two tablets per dose, the total for one day is displayed as six tablets.

[0071] When the dosing timing acquisition unit 104 receives input of multiple dosing timings within a predetermined period, the dosing timing application unit 114 may display all the dosing timings within the predetermined period for each confirmed drug.

[0072] When the dose timing acquisition unit 104 receives input of multiple dose timings within a predetermined period, the dose timing application unit 114 may receive input indicating that this is the last input within the predetermined period.

[0073] When the dosage timing application unit 114 receives an input indicating that the input is the last input within a predetermined period, the application display unit 116 may display a correction screen that allows correction of at least one of the confirmed drug name, quantity, and dosage. The dosage of the drug includes the dosage timing.

[0074] The predetermined period may be, for example, one day, one week, or the period for taking a drug.

[0075] <Drug identification method> A method for identifying medicines using the smartphone 10 will be described. Here, a method for displaying medicine information on the smartphone 10 will be mainly described when a user who is an identifier such as a pharmacist uses the smartphone 10 to identify a single-dose medicine brought by a patient. A single-dose medicine is a medicine stored in a separate packet. A separate packet usually stores one or more medicines to be taken at a time.

[0076] Fig. 5 is a flowchart showing the steps of the drug identification method. The drug identification method is realized by the CPU 28 reading and executing a drug identification program from the memory 34. The drug identification program may be provided via the wireless communication unit 30 or the external input / output unit 40. Figs. 6 to 18 are diagrams showing the transition of the GUI on the touch panel display 14 in each step of the drug identification method. In Figs. 6 to 18, the vertical size may differ because the amount of information to be displayed differs. If the information does not fit on the screen of the touch panel display 14, it can be displayed in a scrollable manner as appropriate.

[0077] When the drug identification program is executed, a "Discrimination" screen is displayed on the touch panel display 14, as shown in FIG. 6. The "Discrimination" screen includes an option CH11 that displays "Start new discrimination," and options CH12, CH13, and CH14 for displaying past discrimination results. The user can select the desired process by tapping any of the options CH11 to CH14. Here, an example of starting new discrimination will be described.

[0078] When option CH11 is selected on the "Discrimination" screen, an input method selection screen for selecting a method for inputting medications brought by the patient is displayed on the touch panel display 14, as shown in FIG. 7. The input method selection screen includes option CH21 displaying "Photograph a single-dose medication," option CH22 displaying "Read GS1," and option CH23 displaying "Search for medication name / identification code." The user can select the desired input method by tapping on any of options CH21 to CH23. Here, an example of photographing a single-dose medication will be described.

[0079] When option CH21 is selected on the input method selection screen, the screen display unit 102 for inputting dosing timing displays the "Input information on packaged drugs" screen (an example of a "screen for inputting drug dosing timing") on the touch panel display 14 (step S1). FIG. 8 is an example of the "Input information on packaged drugs" screen. The "Input information on packaged drugs" screen is a screen for inputting the time at which the packaged drugs to be photographed in step S1 are taken, among the drugs brought by the patient. The time at which the drugs are taken is synonymous with the timing of taking the drug. The screen display unit 102 for inputting dosing timing displays the "Input information on packaged drugs" screen, which is a screen for inputting drug dosing timing, before the "Select drug from candidates" screen, which is a screen for confirming the drug.

[0080] The dosing timing input screen display unit 102 displays a dosing timing on the "Input information on packaged medicine" screen so that the user can select a dosing timing from multiple preset timings. In FIG. 8, the preset timing options include an option CH31 displaying "Enter later," an option CH32 displaying "When waking up," an option CH33 displaying "After breakfast," an option CH34 displaying "After lunch," an option CH35 displaying "After dinner," an option CH36 displaying "Before going to bed," and an option CH37 displaying "Enter manually" in a text box TB. The user can select the desired dosing timing by tapping one of the radio buttons of options CH31 to CH37. If the user selects option CH37, the user further inputs the dosing timing in the text box TB.

[0081] When any of the radio buttons of the options CH31 to CH37 is selected, the Start Shooting button BP, which displays "Photograph packaged medicine," becomes operable. By tapping the Start Shooting button BP, the user can confirm the timing of taking the medicine and proceed to photograph the medicine.

[0082] When the photographing start button BP is operated, the dose timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dose timing of the option whose radio button is selected as the selected dose timing (step S2). Here, it is assumed that option CH33, "After breakfast," is selected. The dose timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dose timing of "After breakfast" (an example of the "first dose timing").

[0083] Furthermore, when the shooting start button BP is tapped, the image acquisition unit 106 displays in real time the video captured by the outer camera 22 as a live view image on the touch panel display 14. The image acquisition unit 106 also displays a shooting button for capturing a still image on the touch panel display 14 together with the live view image.

[0084] 9 shows an example of a live view image IV and a capture button BS displayed on the touch panel display 14. In this example, the live view image IV is a moving image captured by the outer camera 22 of a sachet P1 (an example of a "first sachet") placed in an area surrounded by four markers M1, M2, M3, and M4. The sachet P1 contains tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4 (an example of a "first plurality of medications to be taken at one time"), which are four medications to be identified. The sachet P1 is transparent, and the live view image IV shows tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4.

[0085] Tablets are solid medicines formed into a specific shape by compression molding. Tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4 each have identification information stamped and / or printed on them.

[0086] The identification information is added by marking means that the identification information is formed by forming a groove, which is a recessed area, on the surface of the medicine. The groove is not limited to being formed by digging into the surface, but may be formed by pressing the surface. In addition, the marking may include a mark that does not have an identification function, such as a dividing line.

[0087] Furthermore, "identification information added by printing" means that identification information is formed by applying edible ink or the like to the surface of the medicine with or without contact. Here, "added by printing" is synonymous with "added by printing."

[0088] Although the example shown here is a tablet as the drug to be identified, the drug to be identified may also be a capsule. A capsule is a drug in which powder or granules are filled into a capsule base. Identification information may be added to the capsule base by engraving and / or printing.

[0089] When the user taps the capture button BS while capturing the live view image IV, a still image is captured by the outer camera 22. The captured still image is stored in the internal storage unit 36 ​​as a captured image of the drug to be identified. The image acquisition unit 106 acquires the captured image (an example of a "first captured image") from the internal storage unit 36 ​​(step S3).

[0090] The drug confirmation screen display unit 110 displays a drug image based on the captured image acquired in step S3 on the touch panel display 14. Here, the drug confirmation screen display unit 110 displays the drug to be identified that appears in the image on the touch panel display 14 so that it can be selected. Figure 10 is an example of a "Select Drug" screen on which drug image IS1 is displayed. Drug image IS1 (an example of an "image based on the first captured image") is displayed rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise from the state in which it was captured. The "Select Drug" screen is an example of a drug display screen that displays a captured drug image.

[0091] In the drug image IS1, the identification information attached to the tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4 is highlighted relative to the captured image. The user can select the desired drug to be identified by tapping the area of ​​the desired drug to be identified in the drug image IS1 on the "Select Drug" screen. The "Select Drug" screen is an example of a designation screen that accepts the designation of a drug from the drug image.

[0092] When the user selects a drug to be identified on the "Select Drug" screen (Step S4), the drug inference unit 108 infers the correct drug for the selected drug to be identified and acquires multiple candidate drugs (Step S5). In addition, the drug determination screen display unit 110 displays a drug determination screen for determining the correct drug for the selected drug to be identified on the touch panel display 14 (Step S6). Here, it is assumed that tablet T1 was selected in Step S4.

[0093] FIG. 11 is an example of the "Select a drug from candidates" screen, which is a drug confirmation screen. The "Select a drug from candidates" screen is a screen for the user to confirm the correct drug for tablet T1 selected in step S4 from among multiple candidate drugs. The "Select a drug from candidates" screen includes an enlarged image IE of tablet T1. The enlarged image IE is an enlarged image of the area of ​​the drug image IS1 that includes tablet T1. In the enlarged image IE, the identification information attached to tablet T1 is highlighted, and the area of ​​tablet T1 is surrounded by a dashed rectangle. The drug confirmation screen display unit 110 may display the enlarged image IE with the orientation of the identification information of tablet T1 upright.

[0094] The "Select a drug from candidates" screen displays the multiple candidate drugs obtained in step S5. Here, the candidate drugs CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4, and CA5 that are most likely to be the correct drug for tablet T1 are displayed from top to bottom in order of likelihood. Each of the candidate drugs CA1, CA2, CA3, CA4, and CA5 includes reference images of the front and back, the drug name, the dosage, and the name of the manufacturer.

[0095] On the "Select Drug from Candidates" screen, the user can select a candidate drug of the same type as the drug to be identified from among multiple candidate drugs as the correct drug for the drug to be identified. The confirmation processing unit 112 confirms the selected candidate drug as the correct drug for the drug to be identified. Furthermore, the ingestion timing application unit 114 applies the ingestion timing of the identified drug for which the correct drug has been confirmed (step S7). For example, the ingestion timing applied to tablet T1 is "after breakfast," the number of doses applied to tablet T1 is "once a day," and the number of tablets to be taken is "one tablet per dose."

[0096] The "Select Drug from Candidates" screen includes a manual input button BH labeled "Enter Manually." When the user taps the manual input button BH, the display on the touch panel display 14 transitions to a text input screen (not shown) that accepts input of the drug name or drug identification code of the specified drug. In the example shown in FIG. 11, when the manual input button BH is tapped, the drug determination screen display unit 110 displays a text input screen on the touch panel display 14 that accepts input of the drug name or drug identification code of tablet T1. The text input screen may include a soft keyboard for the user to input text.

[0097] In the text entry screen, the user can enter the drug name or drug identification code of the specified drug.

[0098] When the user inputs a drug name or drug identification code on the text input screen, the confirmation processing unit 112 accepts this input and searches a database (not shown) for drugs with the accepted drug name or drug identification code. The confirmation processing unit 112 then accepts the drug that matches the accepted drug name or drug identification code as the correct drug for the drug to be identified.

[0099] When the correct drug of the drug to be identified selected in step S4 is confirmed, the drug confirmation screen display unit 110 again displays the "Select Drug" screen on the touch panel display 14. On the "Select Drug" screen, the application display unit 116 displays that the dosing timing has been applied to the drug to be identified for which the correct drug has been confirmed (step S8).

[0100] Fig. 12 is an example of the "Select Drug" screen to which the screen transitions when candidate drug CA1 is selected as the correct drug on the "Select Drug from Candidates" screen in Fig. 11. The "Select Drug" screen includes drug image IS2. Drug image IS2 is an image in which tablet T1, the drug to be identified that has been confirmed by confirmation processing unit 112, is surrounded by a straight rectangle in relation to drug image IS1.

[0101] Additionally, the "Select a drug" screen displays the candidate drug CA1 selected by the user as the confirmed correct drug D1 for tablet T1. The correct drug D1 includes reference images of the front and back, the name, dosage, and the name of the manufacturer. Furthermore, the correct drug D1 includes an application indicator EA1 indicating that the dosage timing has been applied. In the example shown in Figure 12, the application indicator EA1 is "One tablet per dose, once a day, after breakfast."

[0102] In addition, by the user selecting the confirmed correct drug on the "Select Drug" screen, a drug details screen for the correct drug can be displayed on the touch panel display 14. Figure 13 is an example of the drug details screen when the area of ​​the correct drug D1 is tapped. The drug details screen includes reference images of the front and back of the correct drug D1, the name, quantity, manufacturer, therapeutic classification, identification code, and dosage and administration. The drug details screen allows the user to manually edit the dosage and administration of the correct drug D1. The drug details screen includes a back button BR labeled "Back." The user can tap the back button BR to display the "Select Drug" screen again on the touch panel display 14.

[0103] Next, the user determines whether or not all drugs to be identified that appear in the captured image have been confirmed (step S9). If there are any drugs to be identified that have not been confirmed, the process proceeds to step S4, where the same process is performed to confirm the drugs to be identified. In this example, the same process is performed on tablets T2, T3, and T4 to confirm the correct drug. When all drugs to be identified have been confirmed, the user taps the input completion button BE that is displayed as "Input Complete" on the "Select Drug" screen. When the input completion button BE is tapped, the process proceeds to step S10.

[0104] In step S10, the application display unit 116 displays a list display screen of correct drugs for the drugs to be identified on the touch panel display 14. FIG. 14 is an example of the list display screen. In this example, the list display screen displays a list of correct drugs D1, D2, D3, and D4 for tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4, respectively. The correct drugs D1, D2, D3, and D4 each include reference images of the front and back, the name, the quantity, and the name of the manufacturer.

[0105] The list display screen also includes application indicators EA1, EA2, EA3, and EA4 (one example of "the first administration timing has been applied") that indicate that the administration timing has been applied for each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4. In the example shown in FIG. 14, application indicators EA1 to EA4 are "one tablet per dose, once a day, after breakfast." The list display screen also includes an add button BC that indicates "Add."

[0106] The smartphone 10 may display a correction screen that allows correction of at least one of the items of the name, quantity, and usage of the medicine to which the dosing timing is applied. For example, when two of one type of identification target medicine are taken at one dosing timing, two different types of identification target medicine may be displayed as one of each on the list display screen. In such a case, the user can correct one type of identification target medicine to two on the correction screen. The application display after correction of this identification target medicine becomes "two tablets at one time."

[0107] The user determines whether or not imaging of all medications to be taken within a predetermined period has been completed (step S11). For example, it is determined whether or not imaging of all medications to be taken in one day has been completed. If imaging of all medications to be taken within a predetermined period has been completed, the process of this flowchart ends.

[0108] If the user has not yet completed photographing all medications to be taken within the specified period, the user taps the add button BC to photograph and identify medications to be identified that are taken at other times within the specified period. When the add button BC is tapped, the process returns to step S1. Here, an example in which the add button BC is tapped will be described.

[0109] When the add button BC is operated, the dosing timing input screen display unit 102 displays the "Input information about packaged medicine" screen on the touch panel display 14 (step S1). Figure 15 is an example of the "Input information about packaged medicine" screen, which is the same as Figure 8. Here, it is assumed that the user selects "After lunch" from option CH34 and taps the start shooting button BP.

[0110] When the photographing start button BP is operated, the dose timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dose timing of the option whose radio button is selected as the selected dose timing (step S2), and the image acquisition unit 106 acquires the photographed image (step S3).

[0111] Here, the dosing timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dosing timing of "after lunch" (an example of a "second dosing timing"). The image acquisition unit 106 acquires a captured image (an example of a "second captured image") of a sachet (an example of a "second sachet") containing four drugs to be identified, tablets T1, T2, T3, and T4 (an example of a "second plurality of drugs to be taken at one time"). The drug confirmation screen display unit 110 displays a drug image (an example of an "image based on the second captured image") based on the captured image acquired in step S3 on the touch panel display 14.

[0112] Furthermore, the smartphone 10 similarly performs the processes of steps S4 to S9 in accordance with the user's input. That is, the dose timing application unit 114 applies the dose timing of the identified drug for which the correct drug has been determined (an example of "applying the second dose timing to the second plurality of drugs").

[0113] Next, in step S10, the application display unit 116 displays a medication list display screen on the touch panel display 14. Fig. 16 is an example of the list display screen when all medications to be taken after lunch have been confirmed. In this example, the list display screen displays a list of correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 to be taken after lunch. Each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 includes a reference image on the front and back, the name, the dosage, and the name of the manufacturer.

[0114] The list display screen also includes application displays EA11, EA12, EA13, and EA14 (an example of "application of application of a first and a second administration timing combined") that indicate that the administration timing after breakfast and the administration timing after lunch have been applied to each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4. In the example shown in FIG. 16, the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 are identified as having the same administration timing "after breakfast" and "after lunch," respectively. Therefore, the number of doses and the number of doses for the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 at the administration timings "after breakfast" and "after lunch" are combined. Therefore, the application displays EA11 to EA14 are "one tablet per dose, twice a day, morning / after lunch," respectively.

[0115] In addition, in a state where all medications to be taken after lunch have been confirmed, in response to a tap operation of a button (not shown) by the user, the application display unit 116 may display a list display screen of medications to be taken after breakfast on the touch panel display 14. In this case, the list display screen displays that the administration timings have been applied for each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4, and includes application displays EA11, EA12, EA13, and EA14 that the administration timings after breakfast and after lunch have been combined and applied (one example of "the first administration timing and the second administration timing have been combined and applied").

[0116] The user determines whether or not all medications to be taken within a predetermined period have been photographed (Step S11). Here, an example will be described in which the add button BC is tapped again.

[0117] When the add button BC is operated, the screen display unit 102 for inputting dosage timing displays the "Input information about packaged medicine" screen on the touch panel display 14 (step S1). Figure 17 is an example of the "Input information about packaged medicine" screen, which is the same as Figure 8. Here, it is assumed that the user selects "After dinner" from option CH35 and taps the start shooting button BP.

[0118] When the photographing start button BP is operated, the dose timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dose timing of the option whose radio button is selected as the selected dose timing (step S2). In this example, the dose timing acquisition unit 104 acquires the dose timing of "after dinner."

[0119] Furthermore, the smartphone 10 similarly performs the processes of steps S3 to S9 in accordance with the user's input.

[0120] Next, in step S10, the application display unit 116 displays a medication list display screen on the touch panel display 14. Fig. 18 is an example of the list display screen when all medications to be taken after dinner have been confirmed. In this example, the list display screen displays a list of correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 to be taken after dinner. Each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 includes a reference image on the front and back, the name, the dosage, and the name of the manufacturer.

[0121] The list display screen also includes application indicators EA21, EA22, EA23, and EA24, which indicate that the dosage timings for the correct answer drugs D1, D2, D3, and D4 have been applied, and that the dosage timings after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner have been combined and applied. In the example shown in FIG. 18, the correct answer drugs D1, D2, D3, and D4 have the same dosage timings "after breakfast" and "after lunch" as the identified drug with the same dosage timing "after dinner." Therefore, the dosage counts and dosage quantities for the correct answer drugs D1, D2, D3, and D4 for the dosage timings "after breakfast," "after lunch," and "after dinner" are all combined. Therefore, the application indicators EA21 to EA24 are "one tablet per dose, three times a day, after each meal," respectively.

[0122] In addition, in a state where all medications to be taken after dinner have been confirmed, in response to the user tapping a button (not shown), the application display unit 116 may display a list display screen of medications to be taken after breakfast on the touch panel display 14, or may display a list display screen of medications to be taken after lunch on the touch panel display 14. In this case, the list display screen displays that the administration timings for each of the correct medications D1, D2, D3, and D4 have been applied, and includes application displays EA21, EA22, EA23, and EA24 that indicate that the administration timings after breakfast, after lunch, and after dinner have been applied in total.

[0123] The user determines whether or not photographing of all medications to be taken within a predetermined period has been completed (Step S11). Here, the user determines that photographing of all medications has been completed, and ends the processing of this flowchart.

[0124] If the smartphone 10 receives input of multiple dose timings within a predetermined period in step S2, the smartphone 10 may receive user input indicating that this is the last input within the predetermined period. The user input indicating that this is the last input may be, for example, a tap input by the user on the issue button BQ displayed as "QR code issue" on the list display screen. QR Code (registered trademark) is an example of a two-dimensional code.

[0125] When the smartphone 10 receives an input indicating that this is the last input within a predetermined period, the smartphone 10 may display a correction screen that allows correction of at least one of the confirmed drug name, quantity, and usage.

[0126] As described above, according to the drug identification method using smartphone 10, the timing of taking the drug obtained in step S2 can be applied to all of the drugs to be identified included in the captured image obtained in step S3, and a message indicating that the timing has been applied can be displayed, thereby improving the work efficiency of inputting drug usage instructions.

[0127] For example, even though tablet T1 determined from the drug image in a sachet with a dosing timing of "after breakfast" and tablet T1 determined from the drug image in a sachet with a dosing timing of "after lunch" are determined from different drug images, the dosing timings can be added together (i.e., applied) as the same drug, and a display can be displayed indicating that they have been applied.

[0128] In this way, a first drug image of one or more drugs to be taken at a first dose timing is acquired, the drugs shown in the first captured image are determined, and the first dose timing is applied collectively to the determined drugs. Also, a second drug image of one or more drugs to be taken at a second dose timing is acquired, the drugs shown in the second captured image are determined, and the first and second dose timings are applied collectively to the determined drugs. In this case, the first and second dose timings are also applied collectively to the drugs shown in the first captured image and determined.

[0129] Furthermore, a third medication image of one or more medications to be taken at a third dose timing may be acquired, the medications captured in the third captured image may be identified, and the first, second, and third dose timings may be applied to the identified medications together. In this case, the first, second, and third dose timings may be applied together to the medications captured and identified in the first captured image and the medications captured and identified in the second captured image.

[0130] This allows the drug images for each dosing timing to be reorganized into information on the dosing timing for each drug. Therefore, the dosing timing for each drug can be displayed. Furthermore, by using information on the dosing timing for each drug within a predetermined period, it is also possible to display the number of times the drug is to be taken within the predetermined period and the number of doses to be taken, along with the dosing timing.

[0131] If medications are stored in sachets according to the timing of administration, information on the timing of administration applied to each medication can be generated by photographing each of the sachets with multiple different timings of administration.

[0132] <Other> Here, the smartphone 10 displays the "Input information on packaged drugs" screen, which is a screen for inputting drug dosing timing, in step S1, and then displays the "Select drug from candidates" screen, which is a screen for confirming the drug, in step S6. By displaying both screens in this order, the user is focused on the drug's usage before identifying the drug, making it easier for the user to remember and preventing omissions in entering the usage instructions. Note that the smartphone 10 may first display the "Select drug from candidates" screen, which is a screen for confirming the drug, and then display the "Input information on packaged drugs" screen, which is a screen for inputting the drug dosing timing.

[0133] In addition, in step S3, the smartphone 10 acquires a photographed image of the drug to be identified stored in a sachet, but the drug to be identified does not have to be stored in a sachet, as long as it can acquire a photographed image including the drug to be identified that should be taken at one time. By acquiring a photographed image including the drug to be identified that should be taken at one time, it is possible to input the timing of taking the drug all at once.

[0134] When option CH22 displaying "Read GS1" is selected on the input method selection screen shown in Fig. 7, the smartphone 10 identifies the GS1 code from the captured image and specifies the drug from the identification result. The GS1 code is a standard barcode set on prescription drugs and is attached to PTP (Press Through Package) sheets, etc.

[0135] Furthermore, when option CH23, which displays "Search for drug name / identification code," is selected on the input method selection screen, the smartphone 10 displays a text input screen that accepts input of the drug name or drug identification code of the drug to be identified, and identifies the drug from the input drug name or drug identification code.

[0136] The present disclosure is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible within the scope of the gist of the technical idea of ​​the present disclosure. [Explanation of symbols]
