Is it position L1, position L2 or position L3?" Hereinafter, this type of "location information related to the position of the medicine inside the drawer" will be referred to as "position inside the drawer." In other words, medical personnel need at least information about the "drug drawer location" and "drug location within the drawer" to obtain specific drugs.

FIG7 is a block diagram of a movable storage guide system for drawer partitions in an embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG1 and FIG7, the present invention provides a guide system 100, which is set in a host server of a medical institution having a drug database DB, and is mainly used to prompt medical personnel with drug location information, especially the aforementioned "drug drawer location" and the aforementioned "drawer internal location" of the drug. The guide system 100 is configured into multiple modules, and each of these modules includes a prompt module M1, a receiving module M2 and a data processing module M3.

Regarding the prompt module M1, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 7. As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 7, after the receiving device R obtains the medication information, the prompt module M1 "simultaneously" sends a signal to an external prompt device 1 set outside the drawers 31 and 32 and an internal prompt device 2 set inside the drawer. The external prompt device 1 and the internal prompt device 2 act simultaneously. The prompt module M1 sends a signal to the external prompt device to transmit information about the "drug drawer position", and the prompt module M1 sends a signal to the internal prompt device 2 to transmit information about the "position inside the drawer".

Regarding the receiving module M2, it is used to receive a prescription from a receiving device R to obtain medication information. The medication information includes information about "drug drawer position" and "position inside the drawer". After receiving the medication information, the receiving module M2 will transmit the information about "drug drawer position" and "position inside the drawer" to the data processing module M3.

Regarding the data processing module M3, the signal connects the drug database DB, the prompt module M1 and the receiving module M2. The data processing module M3 is used to send a signal to the prompt module M1 based on the medication information.

As shown in FIG2 , the medicine cabinet 3 is provided with a plurality of drawers 31, 32, and each of the drawers 31, 32 is provided with an external prompt device 1. The external prompt device 1 has light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, 14, and the light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, 14 correspond to different drawers. For example, the opened drawer 31 in FIG2 corresponds to the light-emitting body 13. The external prompt device 1 is used to remind medical personnel of the drawer where the required medication is located. In some embodiments, the external prompt device 1 can be a device that can generate visual prompts using a light-emitting body (such as but not limited to a light-emitting diode and an incandescent lamp, etc.) or an electronic paper, or a device that can generate auditory prompts using a buzzer, or a device that uses other methods such as vibration to give prompts. In this embodiment, the external prompt device 1 is provided with light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, and 14, which use the light emitted by the light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, and 14 to prompt medical personnel with location information related to the positions of drugs and drawers.

As shown in Figures 2 and 7, in this embodiment, the data processing module M3 sends a signal to the prompt module M1 based on the medication information obtained by the medical staff from the prescription through the receiving device R, and the prompt module M1 then sends a signal to the corresponding external prompt device 1, thereby making the external prompt device 1 work. In this way, medical staff can find the drawer location of the required medication more quickly, accurately and conveniently.

FIG3 is a partial enlarged view of FIG2. As shown in FIG2, the medicine cabinet 3 is provided with a plurality of drawers 31, 32. As shown in FIG3, an internal reminder device 2 is provided in the drawer 31, and the internal reminder device 2 is used to remind medical personnel of the location of the medicine required for use inside the drawer (i.e., the location information related to the location of the medicine inside the drawer). The internal reminder device 2 can be, for example but not limited to, a device that can generate visual reminders using a light-emitting body, an incandescent lamp, or an electronic paper, or a device that can generate auditory reminders using a buzzer, or a device that uses other methods such as vibration to give reminders. When the medical staff obtains the medication information in the prescription through the receiving device R, the data processing module M3 will send a signal to the prompt module M1 through the medication information, and the prompt module M1 will further send a signal to the corresponding internal prompt device 2, thereby making the internal prompt device 2 work. In this embodiment, the internal prompt device 2 works in the form of emitting light.

As shown in FIG. 7 , in some embodiments, the internal prompt device 2 includes a light-emitting unit 21 and a modular partition 22. As shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 , in some embodiments, the light-emitting unit 21 may be, for example but not limited to, composed of a plurality of individually separated light-emitting bodies 211, 212, 213 or light strips.

As for the modular partition 22, as shown in FIG7, the modular partition 22 includes a partition assembly 221, a base 222, and a clamping block 223. It is worth mentioning that the light-emitting unit 21 and the modular partition 22 in the internal prompt device 2 of this case have many forms and configurations. For the convenience of explanation, the embodiment of FIG4 and the embodiment of FIG6 are used to illustrate the variation of the internal prompt device 2. FIG4 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the drawer and the internal prompt device of one embodiment of this case. FIG6 is a schematic diagram of the connection between the drawer and the internal prompt device of another embodiment of this case. As shown in FIG4 and FIG6, the internal prompt device 2 in FIG4 and the internal prompt device 2 in FIG6 are two embodiments of the prompt device 2 of this case. The main difference between the two is the difference in the partition assembly 221 of the modular partition 22.

As shown in Figures 4 and 6, the modular partition 22 is used to separate the space in the drawer and to guide light. The internal prompt device 2 uses the light-emitting units 21 to emit light and the modular partition 22 to provide position information related to the position in the drawer for semi-indirect lighting, so as to generate multiple storage areas of the same or different sizes. Different storage areas can be used to place different medicines. The user can adjust the configuration of the modular partition 22 according to the needs. For the convenience of explanation, the configuration of the modular partition 22 is described as N rows and M columns, where N and M can be any positive integers, except that when one of N and M is 1, the other is not 1.

For example, in the embodiment of FIG. 4 , the modular partition 22 can separate the space in the drawer into 3 rows and 3 columns and include nine identically sized, roughly cubic accommodating areas, in which case N is 3 and M is also 3. On the other hand, in the embodiment of FIG. 6 , the modular partition 22 can separate the space in the drawer into 1 row and 3 columns and include three identically sized rectangular accommodating areas, in which case N is 1 and M is 3. However, the present case does not limit the configuration of the modular partition 22. In other embodiments, the modular partition 22 provides partitions of different sizes and/or different lengths. In addition, the present case does not limit the shapes separated in the modular partition 22. In other embodiments, the separated shapes can also be triangles, pentagons, hexagons, or more polygons. Therefore, the partition in this case is a movable partition, and the guide system can also be understood as a movable storage guide system for drawer partitions.

As shown in FIG7 , regarding the prompt module M1, the prompt module M1 receives the "drug location information" in the medication information from the data processing module M3, and sends a signal to the corresponding external prompt device 1 and the internal prompt device 2, thereby simultaneously making at least one of the light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, 14 of the external prompt device 1 corresponding to the drug location information and at least one of the light-emitting bodies 211, 212 in the light-emitting unit 21 of the internal prompt device 2 corresponding to the medication information act and emit light. For example, if the therapeutic drug epinephrine ampoule is placed in the drawer 31 shown in FIG2 and is located at position L1 in FIG3 instead of position L2 or position L3, in this embodiment, the drawer 31 corresponds to the light-emitting body 13 of the external prompt device 1, and the position L1 corresponds to the light-emitting body 211 of the light-emitting unit 21 of the internal prompt device 2, then the drug location information of the epinephrine ampoule corresponds to the light-emitting body 13 of the external prompt device 1 and the light-emitting body 211 of the light-emitting unit 21 of the internal prompt device 2. When the medical staff obtains the dosing information of the epinephrine ampoule in the prescription through the receiving device R, the data processing module M3 sends a signal to the prompt module M1 through the dosing information, and the prompt module M1 simultaneously sends a signal to the light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, 14 of the external prompt device 1 and the light-emitting bodies 211, 212, 213 of the light-emitting unit 21 of the internal prompt device 2. In this embodiment, the light-emitting bodies 11, 12, 13, 14 of the external prompt device 1 are all light-emitting diodes, and the light-emitting bodies 211, 212, 213 of the light-emitting unit 21 of the internal prompt device 2 are all square light strips, but the present case is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the light-emitting bodies 211, 212, 213 can be triangles, pentagons, hexagons or more polygons.

It should be noted that in some embodiments, the boundaries of the light-emitting bodies 211 and 212 corresponding to the positions L1 and L2 overlap each other, and the boundaries of the light-emitting bodies 212 and 213 corresponding to the positions L2 and L3 overlap each other, but the present invention is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the boundaries of the light-emitting bodies 211 and 212 corresponding to the positions L1 and L2 do not overlap each other, and the boundaries of the light-emitting bodies 212 and 213 corresponding to the positions L2 and L3 do not overlap each other.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5 , the partition assembly 221 is composed of a plurality of detachably connected partitions. The partition assembly 221 is a plate with high light transmittance, and its material may be, for example but not limited to, plastic, acrylic plate or glass.

To facilitate the description of the composition of the partition assembly 221, among these detachably connected partitions, the shorter partition is marked as the first partition 221a, and the longer partition is marked as the second partition 221b, indicating that the partition assembly 221 in this case is composed of different sizes and/or lengths, but this case is not limited to this. In other embodiments, the size, length and even thickness of these detachably connected partitions can be the same.

Please refer to Figures 4, 5 and 7. In this embodiment, the light-emitting unit 21 is installed in the base 222 of the modular partition 22, and the base 222 is connected to and contains the partition assembly 221. Since the partition assembly 221 is composed of a first partition 221a and a second partition 221b with high light transmittance. When the internal prompt device 2 receives a signal from the prompt module M1, the light-emitting unit 21 corresponding to the drug location information is activated and emits light. The light emitted from the light-emitting unit 21 enters the first partition 221a and the second partition 221b with light transmittance to provide semi-indirect lighting to prompt medical personnel with drug location information.
