US 2020/0138670 A1 · INTELLIGENT PILLBOX WITH VOLUME DETECTION

Abstract

An intelligent pillbox with volume detection includes an open-close structure, a first structure, an air pressure sensing module and a processor. The first structure is movably configured on the open-close structure, and moves in and out of the containing space of the open-close structure to generate a constant volume difference. The air pressure sensing module is configured in the containing space for measuring the multiple air pressure values in the airtight space. The intelligent pillbox with volume detection calculates the medicine volume by the constant volume differences and the air pressure change when the patient takes out the medicine from the medicine box. It not only can avoid the patient taking wrong medicine, but also can detect the number of remaining medicine and remind the patient to replenish the medicine in the medicine box.

Dependent claims

An intelligent pillbox with volume detection, comprising:

an open-close structure comprising a containing space for containing a medicine, the containing space forming an airtight space when the open-close structure is closed, and the airtight space comprising an air;
a first structure, movably configured on the open-close structure, the first structure compressing and decompressing the air to generate a constant volume difference of the air;
an air pressure sensing module, configured in the containing space for measuring a plurality of air pressure values in the airtight space, the air pressure values comprising a first air pressure value at compressing the air and a second air pressure value at decompressing the air, an air pressure difference value being formed between the first air pressure value and the second air pressure value;
and
a processor, coupled to the air pressure sensing module, the processor calculating a medicine volume according to the constant volume difference and the air pressure difference value.
