[0002] Typically, a prescription contains the text of the prescription, the patient's name and age, the name and classification of the drug, the method and precautions for preparation, the method and precautions for use, the date, and the doctor's signature.

[0003] The medications are usually listed in the following order: main drug, auxiliary drug, auxiliary drug, and mating drug. The dosage is all in metric units. In the case of liquids, the dosage is expressed in drops or in teaspoons in addition to the weight.

[0004] In the process of purchasing medicine at a pharmacy according to a doctor's prescription, there are cases where the issued paper prescription is lost or damaged, and sometimes the pharmacy does not have the medicine in question, so patients have to visit multiple pharmacies, which is inconvenient. In addition, the payment amount varies depending on whether the medicine is covered or not, so it is impossible to check or compare price information on dispensing fees in advance.

[0005] In addition, because it takes time to prepare and pay for medication according to a paper prescription, patients or their guardians must wait at the pharmacy for a certain period of time, and even when the patient's condition is not good, there is a problem in that the patient cannot go home with the guardian and rest while the guardian prepares and pays for the medication.

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing system, a pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server, and an execution method thereof, which can recommend a pharmacy to a user when the user takes a picture of a prescription using a terminal device and submits it, and then provide a notification service when the preparation of the medicine is completed at the pharmacy.

[0021] The above-described objects, features, and advantages will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can easily practice the technical idea of ​​the present invention. In describing the present invention, if it is determined that a detailed description of known technologies related to the present invention may unnecessarily obscure the gist of the present invention, a detailed description thereof will be omitted. Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to indicate the same or similar components.

[0022]

[0023] Figure 1 is a network configuration diagram illustrating a system for providing a pharmaceutical dispensing notification service according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of Figure 1 relates to one embodiment in which, after receiving a prescription from a hospital, a user takes a photo of the prescription with their terminal device, then selects a specific pharmacy from among recommended pharmacies and provides the prescription image to the pharmacy, allowing the pharmacy to receive the medication.

[0024] Referring to FIG. 1, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision system includes a pharmaceutical preparation user terminal (100), a hospital server (200), a pharmacy terminal (300), and a pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400).

[0025] The user terminal (100) is a terminal device, such as a smart phone, carried by a user who visits a hospital and receives a prescription (10) based on the results of treatment and diagnosis. The terminal device is equipped with a photographing means and a data communication means, and the prescription reception application distributed by the system of the present invention is installed and executed so that the prescription image can be transmitted to the pharmacy terminal (300).

[0026] That is, when a user receives a prescription (10) in the form of a paper or electronic document with the prescription contents and identification code printed on it from a hospital he or she visited, the user can execute an application on the user terminal (100) and drive a photographing or storage means installed on the user terminal (100) to photograph or store the entire prescription (10) or the identification code indicated thereon, thereby generating a prescription image file.

[0027] After generating a prescription image, the user terminal (100) provides a pharmacy recommendation request message including location information to the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400). Thereafter, the user terminal (100) receives a pharmacy recommendation list from the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) in response to the pharmacy recommendation request message, and upon selecting a pharmacy from the pharmacy recommendation list, the user terminal (100) can provide a prescription image file to the corresponding pharmacy terminal (300).

[0028] The hospital server (200) is a hospital server that issues a prescription (10) when a user receives treatment.

[0029] The pharmacy terminal (300) is a terminal device operated by a pharmacy located in each region, and has a pharmacy program installed for receiving prescriptions. When a prescription image file is received from a user terminal (100), the prescription content is automatically entered into the pharmacy program to process the prescription (10).

[0030] The pharmacy terminal (300) inputs pharmacy membership registration information through the pharmacy membership registration procedure received from the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) and provides it to the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400).

[0031] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) is a server that creates a pharmacy recommendation list and provides it to the user terminal (100) when the user terminal (100) takes a picture of a prescription (10) or saves an electronic image to create a prescription image file and then provides the prescription image file to the pharmacy terminal (300).

[0032] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) collects pharmacy information and user medical information for each pharmacy, extracts features to create a pharmacy feature vector and a user feature vector, and then clusters the pharmacy feature vector and the user feature vector using a clustering algorithm.

[0033] First, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) will explain the process of collecting pharmacy information for each pharmacy and then generating a pharmacy feature vector.

[0034] The pharmaceutical dispensing notification service server (400) receives pharmacy membership information from the pharmacy terminal (300) through the pharmacy membership registration process and then processes the pharmacy membership registration. The pharmacy membership registration information may include pharmacy location, medication inventory information, pharmacy start time, pharmacy end time, etc.

[0035] In addition, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can create and manage a waiting situation based on the real-time preparation situation of the pharmacy.

[0036] First, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) updates the prescription (10) by adding it to the prescription reception processing status of each pharmacy whenever a user's prescription (10) is received at a pharmacy, and when preparation is completed according to the user's prescription (10), the server deletes the prescription (10) from the prescription reception processing status.

[0037] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) predicts the manufacturing time based on the prescription information of the prescription (10) each time a user's prescription (10) is received and accumulates the predicted manufacturing time in the waiting time.

[0038] In the above embodiment, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) predicts the manufacturing time using the quantity of the drug, preparation process, characteristics of the drug, and special features (e.g., powder, half a pill, etc.) in the prescription (10) and accumulates the result in the waiting time.

[0039] The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the above drug quantity is because the quantity of the drug specified in the prescription (10) directly affects the manufacturing time. Generally, the greater the drug quantity, the longer it will take to manufacture. The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the above compounding process is because the compounding process varies depending on the type of drug, and the time required for each process may vary. For example, in the case of liquids, the liquid must be measured and mixed, and the time required for this will vary. The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the above drug characteristics is because the manufacturing time may vary depending on the drug characteristics. For example, if the drug is in powder form, the mixing and compounding process may take longer. The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the above special features is because additional time is required to process special features such as powder or half tablets.

[0040] At this time, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can predict the manufacturing time based on [Mathematical Formula 1] and accumulate it in the waiting time.

[0041]

[0042] [Mathematical Formula 1]

[0043]

[0044]

[0045] n: number of types of drugs to be prepared,

[0046] i: drug index,

[0047] t i : Average time required to prepare each drug,

[0048] q i : Quantity of each drug,

[0049] c: Additional time considering the patient's condition or special circumstances,

[0050]

[0051] As described above, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) predicts the manufacturing time based on the prescription information of the prescription (10) each time a user's prescription (10) is received and accumulates it in the waiting time, and when preparation is completed according to the user's prescription (10), the predicted time according to the corresponding prescription (10) is deducted from the waiting time and the corresponding prescription (10) is deleted from the prescription reception processing status.

[0052] In addition, the pharmaceutical dispensing notification service server (400) manages the number of dispensings per pharmacist by increasing the number of dispensings per pharmacist at each pharmacy each time a prescription (10) is received at the pharmacy and a medication is dispensed. The purpose of this is to recommend pharmacies staffed by pharmacists whose number of dispensings does not exceed a predetermined standard number of dispensings by managing the number of dispensings per pharmacist.

[0053] In addition, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the difference distance by comparing the location information received from the user terminal (100) and the location information for each pharmacy.

[0054] As described above, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400) can generate a pharmacy feature vector using the waiting status for each pharmacy, the number of preparations for each pharmacist at the pharmacy, and the difference distance.

[0055] In addition, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can collect and process the user's medical history and medication history to create a user feature vector.

[0056] First, the pharmaceutical dispensing notification service server (400) collects the user's medical history, medication history, and previous pharmacy records. The user's medical history, medication history, and previous pharmacy records can be extracted from electronic medical records (EMR) or electronic prescription data collected at hospitals or medical institutions.

[0057] Then, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) extracts user characteristics from the user's medical history, medication history, and previously used pharmacy records.

[0058] In one embodiment, the medication dispensing notification service server (400) can extract information from the user's medical history, such as which medications were prescribed, and from the medication history, which medications were used and how much. For example, the user may tend to take vitamins frequently, or may tend to use a specific medication frequently to treat a specific disease.

[0059] In another embodiment, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can extract information such as the frequency of visits to each pharmacy by the user and the frequency of consecutive visits to each pharmacy based on the pharmacy records previously used.

[0060] As described above, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can generate a pharmacy feature vector and a user feature vector and then apply them to a clustering algorithm to extract a list of pharmacies recommended to the user.

[0061] First, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) displays the values ​​corresponding to the pharmacy feature vector on a graph and then allocates a specific number of clusters on the graph.

[0062] Then, the pharmaceutical dispensing notification service server (400) can calculate the value corresponding to the pharmacy feature vector and the distance between multiple clusters, and then assign the pharmacy located in the closest cluster. For example, if the pharmacy vector is closest to the center of cluster 1, the pharmaceutical dispensing notification service server (400) can assign the pharmacy to cluster 1.

[0063] After that, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the sum of the data points assigned to each cluster and then divide the sum by the number of data points assigned to the cluster to calculate the average value of each characteristic.

[0064] For example, if the number of dispensings and waiting times of pharmacies belonging to cluster A are [40, 30, 50] and [20, 15, 25], the sum of the number of conditions is 120 and the sum of the waiting times is 60. Since three pharmacies are assigned to cluster A above, the average number of conditions can be determined as 40 (= 120 / 3), and the average waiting time can be determined as 20 minutes (= 60 / 3).

[0065] As described above, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service server (400) gathers the average values ​​to form a new cluster center. For example, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service server (400) determines that the new center of average cluster A is the point where the number of preparations is 40 and the waiting time is 20.

[0066] After that, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the value corresponding to the pharmacy feature vector and the distance between multiple clusters after the center of the new cluster is assigned, and then assign the pharmacy to the closest cluster.

[0067] Additionally, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) displays the values ​​corresponding to the user feature vector on a graph and then allocates a specific number of clusters on the graph.

[0068] Then, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the value corresponding to the user feature vector and the distance between multiple clusters, and then assign the user to the closest cluster. For example, if the user vector is closest to the center of cluster 1, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can assign the user to cluster 1.

[0069] After that, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the sum of the data points assigned to each cluster and then divide the sum by the number of data points assigned to the cluster to calculate the average value of each characteristic.

[0070] For example, if the average number of consultations, average frequency of medication, and average pharmacy preference of users A and B belonging to cluster A are [10, 2, 8] and [8, 3, 7], the average number of consultations is determined as 9 (=(10+8) / 2), the average frequency of medication is determined as 2.5 (=(2+3) / 2=2.5), and the average pharmacy preference is determined as 7.5, and as described above, the medicine dispensing notification service providing server (400) gathers the average values ​​to form a new cluster center. For example, the medicine dispensing notification service providing server (400) determines that the new center of average cluster A is the point where the average number of consultations, average frequency of medication, and average pharmacy preference are [9, 2.5, 7,5].

[0071] After that, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) can calculate the values ​​corresponding to each user feature vector and the distance between multiple clusters after the center of the new cluster is assigned, and then assign the pharmacy to the closest cluster.

[0072] By repeating the above process, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400) checks which cluster each user belongs to and which cluster each pharmacy belongs to based on the clustering result, and then searches for the most appropriate match through the distance between clusters.

[0073] For example, if a specific user belongs to cluster A and pharmacy X belongs to cluster B, the pharmaceutical dispensing notification service providing server (400) measures the distance between the user and the pharmacy to find the most similar match. Once the optimal match is determined, the pharmacy is recommended or provided to the user. At this time, the matched pharmacy is selected considering the preferences and requirements of the user. By doing so, the optimal match between the user and the pharmacy is found, and by recommending the optimal pharmacy to the user, the quality of the service can be improved.

[0074] Figure 2 is a network configuration diagram illustrating a system for providing a pharmaceutical dispensing notification service according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of Figure 2 relates to one embodiment in which a user, after receiving a prescription from a hospital, scans the prescription on an automatic prescription receipt device at a pharmacy, thereby allowing the pharmacy to receive the prescription.

[0075] Referring to FIG. 2, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision system includes a user terminal (100), a hospital server (200), a pharmacy terminal (300), a pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400), and an automatic prescription reception device (500).

[0076] The user terminal (100) is a terminal that receives a pharmaceutical preparation notification message from a pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) when manufacturing is completed according to a prescription (10).

[0077] The hospital server (200) issues a prescription when a user receives treatment. At this time, the hospital server (200) can generate a QR code using prescription information including user terminal information (i.e., mobile phone number, etc.), user name, doctor name, prescribed medication, dosage, and frequency, and then print the QR code together with the prescription.

[0078] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400) can control the prescription automatic reception device (500) to create and manage a waiting situation when a prescription is received through the prescription automatic reception device (500) and to output and provide the waiting situation and waiting number.

[0079] First, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) updates the prescription reception processing status of each pharmacy by adding the corresponding prescription whenever a user's prescription is received at a pharmacy, and deletes the corresponding prescription from the prescription reception processing status when preparation is completed according to the user's prescription.

[0080] In one embodiment, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) predicts the manufacturing time based on the prescription information of the prescription each time a user's prescription is received and accumulates the predicted manufacturing time in the waiting time.

[0081] In the above embodiment, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) predicts the manufacturing time using the quantity of the drug, preparation process, characteristics of the drug, and special features (e.g., powder, half a pill, etc.) in the prescription, and accumulates the result in the waiting time.

[0082] The reason waiting times are calculated by considering the above-mentioned drug quantity is because the quantity of medication specified on the prescription directly affects the manufacturing time. Generally, the larger the quantity, the longer the manufacturing time will be. The reason waiting times are calculated by considering the above-mentioned compounding process is because the compounding process varies depending on the type of medication, and the time required for each process may vary.

[0083] For example, liquid formulations require measuring and mixing, which will take different amounts of time. The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the aforementioned drug characteristics is that manufacturing times can vary depending on the drug's characteristics. For example, if the drug is in powder form, the mixing and preparation process may take longer. The reason for calculating the waiting time by considering the aforementioned special characteristics is that special products, such as powders or semi-tablets, require additional time to process.

[0084] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service server (400) receives hospital membership information from the hospital server (200) through the hospital membership registration process and then processes the hospital membership registration. The hospital membership registration information may include the hospital's location, treatment start time, treatment end time, etc.

[0085] When the server (400) providing the pharmaceutical preparation notification service receives the prescription input information from the hospital server (200) after the user's treatment is completed, the server extracts the pharmacy that holds the prescription drug information from the prescription information input information based on the drug possession information of each pharmacy, extracts the waiting time of each pharmacy, and provides the extracted waiting time to the automatic prescription reception device (500).

[0086] The automatic prescription reception device (500) is equipped with a photographing means and a data communication means, and the prescription reception application distributed by the system of the present invention is installed and executed so that a prescription image can be transmitted to a pharmacy terminal (300).

[0087] That is, the user can receive a prescription (10) in the form of a paper or electronic document with the prescription contents and identification code printed on it from the hospital he or she visited, and then visit a pharmacy and take a picture of the entire prescription (10) or the identification code printed on it at the prescription automatic reception device (500) located at the pharmacy or send the prescription in the form of an electronic document to receive the prescription.

[0088] The automatic prescription reception device (500) can receive a prescription and extract user terminal information (i.e., mobile phone number, etc.), user name, doctor name, prescribed drug, dosage and frequency from the prescription, and can provide the waiting status and waiting number to the corresponding terminal using the user terminal information.

[0089] Figure 3 is a network diagram illustrating a system for providing a pharmaceutical dispensing notification service according to another embodiment of the present invention. The embodiment of Figure 3 relates to an embodiment in which a user can automatically transmit an electronic prescription to a specific pharmacy when receiving a prescription from a hospital.

[0090] Referring to FIG. 3, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision system includes a hospital server (200), a pharmacy terminal (300), and a pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision server (400).

[0091] The hospital server (200) is a hospital server that issues a prescription when a user receives treatment. The hospital server (200) generates a QR code using prescription information including information such as the user terminal information (i.e., mobile phone number, etc.) at which the user's treatment has been completed, the user name, the doctor's name, the prescribed drug, dosage, and frequency, and then generates an electronic prescription including the QR code.

[0092] After that, the hospital server (200) may not print the prescription by providing the electronic prescription to a specific pharmacy terminal (300) recommended by the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) or a pharmacy terminal (300) selected by the user and providing pharmacy information to the user terminal (100).

[0093] The pharmacy terminal (300) is a terminal device operated by a pharmacy located in each region, and has a pharmacy program installed for pre-prescription reception. When an electronic prescription is received from the hospital server (200), the contents of the electronic prescription are automatically entered into the pharmacy program to process the prescription.

[0094] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) is a server that creates a pharmacy recommendation list and provides it to the user terminal (100) when the hospital server (200) provides an electronic prescription to the pharmacy terminal (300).

[0095] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) collects pharmacy information and user medical information for each pharmacy, extracts features, creates the pharmacy feature vector and user feature vector described above, and then clusters the pharmacy feature vector and user feature vector using a clustering algorithm.

[0096] Figure 4 is a flowchart illustrating one embodiment of a method for providing a pharmaceutical preparation notification service according to the present invention.

[0097] Referring to FIG. 4, the user terminal (100) takes a picture of all or part of the prescription to create a prescription image or receives and stores an electronic prescription form (step S410).

[0098] The pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) matches the pharmacy characteristics and user characteristics in response to the pharmacy recommendation request of the user terminal (100) (step S420) to create a pharmacy recommendation list (step S425) and provide it (step S430).

[0099] When the user terminal (100) selects one pharmacy from the pharmacy recommendation list (step S435), a prescription image file is provided to the corresponding pharmacy terminal (step S440).

[0100] When the above pharmacy terminal (300) receives a prescription image file from the user terminal, it extracts the prescription content from the prescription image file and processes the prescription (step S450).

[0101] FIG. 5 is a block diagram illustrating the internal structure of a pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0102] Referring to FIG. 5, the pharmaceutical preparation notification service providing server (400) includes a pharmacy information processing unit (410), a user information processing unit (420), a matching unit (430), and a pharmacy recommendation unit (440).

[0103] Figures 6 to 14 are exemplary diagrams for explaining a pharmaceutical preparation notification service provision process according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0104] Referring to FIGS. 6 to 14, a user terminal (100) is a terminal device, such as a smart phone, carried by a user who visited a hospital and received a prescription (10) based on the results of a diagnosis and treatment, and is equipped with a photographing means and a data communication means. As shown in FIG. 6(a), a prescription reception application distributed by the system of the present invention is installed and executed so as to transmit a prescription image file to a pharmacy terminal (300). The user terminal (100) can receive a prescription by photographing the entire prescription (10), as shown in FIGS. 6(b) and 6(c), or the identification code indicated thereon, as shown in FIG. 6(d).
