  • the present invention is related to a medicine container. More in particular, the present invention is related to a medicine container with a message function.
  • the invention is related to a holder for this medicine container.
  • Medicine containers with message function are known in the art.
  • a user can store medicines.
  • the medicine container can provide a signal that draws the user's attention to the fact a medicine should be taken.
  • Such systems should facilitate sticking to a medicine taking schedule .
  • daily use of such systems poses a few problems.
  • One problem is related to the message function. This is mostly arranged such that the user can switch off the alarm by means of a simple action, for example by pressing a button. However, this does not guarantee that the user actually takes the medicine, or a number of medicines. If for instance the user is inside a car, chances are that the user switches off the alarm and subsequently forgets about taking the medicine.
  • FR 2 892 016 discloses a medicine container with message function comprising a medicine compartment and control compartment.
  • the medicine compartment comprises several different boxes that can each be closed by a lid.
  • An objective of the present invention is to provide a medicine container with message function in which the above mentioned problems do not occur or at least to a lesser degree, and hence to reduce the risk that a user switches off the alarm without having taken his or her medicine.
  • a medicine container according to the invention which comprises a medicine compartment for holding a medicine and a control compartment, wherein the control compartment is provided with message means which provide a continuous taking message corresponding to a predetermined medicine taking schedule.
  • the medicine container further comprises means for stopping the taking message in response to an action of the user.
  • the medicine compartment and the control compartment are separate structures that are releasably connected to each other, and in that the action of the user, which is focused on taking the medicine, comprises separating the medicine compartment and the control compartment .
  • the medicine can be easily accessed, preferably by having the medicine compartment completely and entirely open for access to obtain the medicine.
  • the chance of ignoring the medicine contained therein is considerably reduced.
  • the invention to allow access to an alarm-off switch in or on the signal compartment only after the compartments are completely and entirely separated.
  • the signal or alarm will continue to indicate the need for taking the medicine and with the medicine compartment fully open and accessible it will be hard, if not actually impossible, for a user to ignore this signal.
  • the invention provides for an improved solution of reminding the user of the need to take the medicine in a timely fashion, and with an improved chance that the medicine will actually be taken by the user.
  • the control compartment is provided with a counting device and detection means for providing a first non-continuous taking signal to the message means following a detection of an action of a user which is focused on taking a medicine.
  • the message means are sensitive to the first taking signal and arranged for ceasing to provide the taking message upon reception of the first taking signal.
  • the message means can provide a continuous taking message corresponding to a predetermined medicine taking schedule, for instance a taking schedule for pills. Time points or time periods can for instance be extracted from the taking schedule on or after which a medicine must be taken. The continuous aspect of the taking message strengthens the user to take the medicine.
  • the medicine container comprises a push button, and the action of the user comprises pressing this button.
  • the medicine compartment comprises a mechanism which provides a medicine from the medicine compartment upon operation of this mechanism. In this case, the action of the user comprises operating this mechanism.
  • the action of the user comprises gaining access to the medicine compartment.
  • this could be the operation of a lid of the compartment.
  • the medicine taking schedule is based on time points and the message means are arranged to provide the taking message upon exceeding a time point.
  • the taking schedule could consist of a set of time points, for example 9:00 hours, 14:00 hours, and 19:00 hours.
  • the medicine container Upon exceeding these time points, the medicine container provides a taking message .
  • the medicine taking schedule is based on time periods and the message means are arranged to provide the taking message upon exceeding a time period.
  • a schedule based on time periods emphasizes the mutual time difference between moments of taking the medicine .
  • a drawback of a schedule based on time points is the starting time of the schedule. For instance, if the user can or wants to begin later with the schedule, all the time points need to be adjusted.
  • the detection means are arranged to provide a second non-continuous taking signal following the coupling of the medicine compartment and the control compartment.
  • the counting device is arranged to stop upon reception of the first taking signal and to start upon reception of the second taking signal.
  • the user can therefore take a medicine at the start of the day to subsequently couple the medicine compartment and control compartment as a result of which a second signal is provided.
  • This signal triggers the counting device to start with the first time period.
  • the user is reminded to the exceeding of the time period by the taking message.
  • This message can only be stopped by the decoupling of the control compartment and the medicine compartment, as a result of which a first signal is provided.
  • the medicine compartment and control compartment can remain decoupled to prevent that the next time period starts.
  • the taking schedule and the counting device are adjusted such that the coupling of the control compartment and the medicine compartment at the last time period does not result in the start of the next time period.
  • the detection means can be provided with information that it concerns the last time period and that these means therefore do not provide a second signal upon securing the two compartments .
