Description

System for Linked Control and History Management of the Recipient's Biometric Authentication of the Hospital's Item Storage Box The present invention relates to a recipient biometric authentication interlocking control and history management system for a hospital supplies locker, and more specifically, to a recipient biometric authentication interlocking control and history management system for a hospital supplies locker in which the recipient is authenticated through biometric information recognition, and the locking and unlocking of the locker are interlocked control according to the authentication result, so that only the recipient with access rights to the hospital supplies can retrieve the items, security can be maintained, and the history of the items is automatically saved to a server to enable thorough history management. In general, the misuse of medications can lead to side effects and addiction, and because lax management allows for improper use by unauthorized personnel or illegal removal, posing a risk of safety accidents, all medications entering the hospital must be thoroughly managed in real-time—not just through inventory control—to track and control the flow of medications administered to patients in real time. As such, through this history management, pharmaceuticals received by the hospital pharmacy department must not only allow for the verification of their expiration dates within the system, but also ensure that they are retrieved by authorized personnel, prescribed in appropriate quantities suitable for the patient, safely dispensed, and delivered accurately and in a timely manner for use. To this end, medical institutions, including hospitals in Korea, manage the history of pharmaceuticals administered to patients to ensure patient safety. For example, conventionally, as illustrated in FIG. 1, a storage unit consisting of multiple units of a certain size with internal storage space formed in a row and horizontally was installed in the hospital pharmacy, and when each ward requested items such as medicines or drugs through prescriptions, the pharmacy would place the items in a designated storage unit for each ward, and an analog method was used in which staff members such as nurses or nursing assistants in each ward would enter a password on a keypad installed in the storage unit to open the door and receive the items. As a result, if a staff member from a specific ward knows only the password at the request of another ward, they can come to retrieve their own items and take items stored in the other ward's locker, posing a risk of password exposure. If this happens, items may be withdrawn by unauthorized persons, making it impossible to track the flow of medications in real time, potentially leading to safety accidents or issues with unauthorized removal, and making it difficult to maintain accurate records. In addition, there is a problem in that the request, storage, and retrieval of hospital supplies, such as medicines and drugs, are handled laxly, and a system for automatically recording, controlling, and managing them has not yet been established. Meanwhile, Korean Registered Patent Publication No. 10-1550206 is a prior art related to this. FIG. 1 is a drawing of a storage box according to the prior art. FIGS. 2 and FIGS. 3 are schematic diagrams of a system according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 4a is a diagram illustrating a storage box and a biometric recognition device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4b is a diagram showing the usage state when unlocking the locking device of the storage box according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 5 is a flowchart illustrating the authentication procedure of an authentication server according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, specific details regarding the implementation of the recipient biometric authentication linkage control and history management system for a hospital item storage box according to the present invention will be described in detail, focusing on embodiments. First, the recipient biometric authentication linkage control and history management system for a hospital supplies storage box according to the present invention authenticates the recipient through biometric information recognition and links the locking and unlocking of the storage box according to the authentication result so that only the recipient with access rights to the hospital supplies can retrieve the supplies, security can be maintained, and the history of the supplies can be automatically saved to a server so that thorough history management can be achieved. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 3, the system may include a storage box (100), a biometric information recognition device (200), a hospital computer server (300), a ward PC (400), a supplies management PC (500), an authentication server (600), and a DB server (700).
