In describing the embodiments, when it is determined that a detailed description of related known technologies may unnecessarily obscure the subject matter of the embodiments, the detailed description thereof will be omitted.

A pharmacy management system (PMS) control system using a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented by being included inside a pharmacy terminal in which the pharmacy management system (PMS) is driven, or in the form of a server separately provided outside. However, in the present specification, for convenience of description, the pharmacy management system control system of the present invention is limited and implemented in the pharmacy terminal.

Prior to implementation of the present invention, the pharmacy management system control system according to an embodiment of the present invention may produce an application for a PMS control service and distribute it to a communication terminal requesting download.

The pharmacy management system control system, through the distributed App, establishes a communication connection with a communication terminal, transmits and receives QR data, transmits and receives prescription information or a capture screen, and displays it, according to mouse operation (touch input) of the communication terminal. It is possible to easily control the PMS executed in the pharmacy terminal by generating a command.

1 is a diagram showing the configuration of a pharmacy management system (PMS) control system using a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, a pharmacy management system control system using a communication terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a processing unit 120 and a control unit 130. In addition, according to an embodiment, the pharmacy management system control system may further include a connection unit 110 and a database 140.

The connection unit 110 connects the communication terminal 103 for reading QR data in the prescription to the designated pharmacy terminal 101.

Specifically, when a connection request occurs as the communication terminal 103 reads the QR data in the prescription using the camera photographing function, the connection unit 110 uses at least one of the IP address and port number included in the connection request. A TCP socket can be established between the communication terminal 103 and the pharmacy terminal 101.

In addition, if the communication terminal 103 is a mobile mobile terminal capable of Bluetooth wireless communication, the connection unit 110 may first try to connect through Bluetooth wireless communication before setting a TCP socket.

The control unit 130 interlocks with the generation of prescription information in the pharmacy management system (PMS) 102, and provides control authority based on source information that causes the generation of the prescription information, and manages the pharmacy. It is given to the communication terminal 103 connected to the system 102, or to the pharmacy terminal 101 in which the pharmacy management system 102 is running.

For example, if the source information is QR data in a prescription, the control unit 130 grants the control authority to the communication terminal 103, and if the source information is related to a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) inspection, The control authority may be granted to the pharmacy terminal 101.

In other words, if the source information is related to the QR data used when generating the prescription information, the control unit 130 may preferentially grant control authority to the transmitted communication terminal 103 that has scanned the QR data from the prescription.

Alternatively, if the source information is related to the DUR check for determining the presence or absence of a drug contraindicated to a patient or a side effect is expected from the prescription information, the pharmacy terminal 101 for easy input of the exception reason for the corresponding prescription drug. ), you can give priority to control.

When the control authority is granted to the communication terminal 103, the processing unit 120 processes the prescription information by performing a mouse operation by the communication terminal 103, and the control authority is granted to the pharmacy terminal 101. If so, the prescription information is processed by performing a key input operation by the pharmacy terminal 101.

For example, when the source information is related to a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) check, the control unit 130 grants the control authority to the pharmacy terminal 101, and the processing unit 120 is the communication terminal 103 In addition, while informing the patient that the contraindicated drug is included in the prescription information, a request for an exception reason input through the pharmacy terminal 101 is requested, and reason information input by a key from the pharmacy terminal 101 according to the request is provided, the prescription It may be stored in the database 140 together with the information.

For example, when the source information is a DUR check for prescription information, the control unit 130 grants control authority to the pharmacy terminal 101 where the reason for exception can be easily input, and the processing unit 120 is the communication terminal 103, It is possible to request input of the reason for exception through the pharmacy terminal 101.

In response to the request, the user (pharmacist) of the communication terminal 103 can control the keyboard operation of the pharmacy terminal 101 for the reason for the exception confirmed from the hospital or clinic for which the prescription was issued for drugs that are expected to cause side effects in the prescription information or contraindicated to the patient. Through a quick input, the processing unit 120 may store the exception reason inputted through the keyboard operation of the pharmacy terminal 101 together with the prescription information in the database 140.

At this time, before storing the prescription information, the processing unit 120 transmits the exception reason inputted through the keyboard through the pharmacy terminal 101 to the communication terminal 103, and receives the accuracy once again through the pharmacist in the face of the patient. I can.

Here, the database 140 is a storage space for prescription information, and the prescription information may be stored in association with patient information with an exception reason. The database 140 may be a storage space in the pharmacy terminal 101 allocated to the pharmacy management system (PMS) 102.

As another example, if the source information is QR data in a prescription, the control unit 130 grants the control authority to the communication terminal 103, and the processing unit 120 processes the prescription information in a selected control method to communicate When a response according to a mouse operation is generated from the communication terminal 103, which is transmitted to the terminal 103 and confirms the prescription information, a storage command for storing the prescription information in the database 140 is sent to the pharmacy management system (PMS) ( 102).

In this case, when an option value for output is identified from the response, the processing unit 120 may further transmit an output command for outputting the prescription information on a medicine bag to the pharmacy management system 102.

Specifically, the pharmacy management system (PMS) 102, from the page connected by the QR data read from the prescription by the communication terminal 103, the request code for the prescription drug, the drug name, the amount of one dose, the number of administration, and It is possible to identify at least one of the medication date, insurance information applied for each drug, prescription number, nursing institution information, disease information, and special information, and generate the prescription information including the identified item.

In addition, the pharmacy management system 102 may identify patient information including at least one item of patient name, gender, age, and insurance for the patient who submitted the prescription from the page accessed by the QR data. .

For example, the processing unit 120 may check a message exchange method or a screen synchronization method as the control method.

When the control method is confirmed as a message exchange method, the processing unit 120 may encrypt the prescription information, process the encrypted prescription information into a message, and transmit the encrypted prescription information to the communication terminal 103.

For example, referring to FIG. 3B, the processing unit 120 encrypts the prescription information transmitted from the PMS 102, processes a message including the encrypted prescription information 320, and transmits it to the App in the communication terminal 103. I can.

Alternatively, when the control method is confirmed as a screen synchronization method, the processing unit 120 may process the execution screen of the pharmacy management system 102 into an image format and transmit it to the communication terminal 103.

For example, referring to FIG. 4A, the processing unit 120 may capture an execution screen 410 of the PMS 102 that displays prescription information and patient information and transmits it to the communication terminal 103.

Here, the execution screen 410 may include a save button 412 and a correction button 413 for prescription information, along with an option value 411 for outputting a medicine envelope, and a save button ( When 412 is clicked, the processing unit 120 may confirm that the prescription information is correct and transmit a command to store the prescription information to the PMS 102.

The PMS 102 may store the prescription information in the database 140 by associating the prescription information with patient information when a response is generated according to a mouse operation by the communication terminal 103 and a storage command is transmitted. The processing unit 120 may notify the communication terminal 103 of the result of execution in the PMS 102 according to the storage command.

Alternatively, when the correction button 413 is clicked by the communication terminal 103 on the capture screen, the controller 130 confirms that the prescription information is incorrect and converts the control authority to the pharmacy terminal 101, and the pharmacy terminal ( 101) can be requested to input accurate prescription information through keyboard operation.

For example, if some of the patient information identified through the QR data in the PMS 102 does not match the patient who submitted the prescription, or the patient information is not inquired, the control unit 130 gives the control authority to the pharmacy terminal. By switching to 101, in the pharmacy management system 102, it is possible to modify the patient information according to the key input from the pharmacy terminal 101.

In addition, when the control method is confirmed as a screen synchronization method, the processing unit 120 receives the response, including a first position at which a touch event occurs in the image of the execution screen displayed on the communication terminal 103. If so, the first position may be converted to a second position based on the size of the execution screen, and a click command for the second position in the execution screen may be transmitted to the pharmacy management system 102.

For example, referring to FIG. 6, the communication terminals 103 and 610 are the absolute coordinates 602'(800, 600)' in the communication terminals 103 and 610 with respect to the point 601 where the touch input is generated. And, to the absolute coordinates 602, the relative coordinates 603 applying the screen size of the communication terminals 103 and 610 (for example, 1200 pixels horizontally and 800 pixels vertically)'(800/1200, 600/800) 'May be transmitted to the pharmacy management system control system 100 of the present invention.

The processing unit 120 applies the screen size (e.g., 1920 horizontal pixels and 1080 vertical pixels) of the pharmacy terminals 101 and 620 to the relative coordinates 603 received from the communication terminals 103 and 610, and the point ( Absolute coordinates 604 in the pharmacy terminals 101 and 620 for 601)'((800/1200)*1920, (600/800)*1080)' can be calculated.

In addition, the processing unit 120 may generate a click command using the calculated absolute coordinate 604 as the second position. That is, the processing unit 120 may control to move the mouse to the second position on the execution screen of the PMS 102 and click.

Here, when the touch event is generated from a save button in the image of the execution screen, the processing unit 120 may transmit the save command to the pharmacy management system 102 instead of the click command.

In other words, as shown in FIG. 6, if the absolute coordinate 604 falls within the area where the'save button' is displayed on the execution screen of the pharmacy terminals 101 and 620, the processing unit 120 moves to the second position Instead of a click command for clicking, a storage command may be transmitted to the PMS 102 to store prescription information displayed on the current execution screen.

Alternatively, when the touch event is generated from the edit button in the image of the execution screen, the control unit 130 switches the control authority to the pharmacy terminal 101, and inputs a key from the pharmacy terminal 101 in the pharmacy management system. It is possible to modify the prescription information according to the information.

At this time, the processing unit 120 may grant control rights to only some functions provided by the PMS 102 to the communication terminal 103 to operate in a manual function operation mode by the communication terminal 103.

Specifically, the processing unit 120 selects an item requiring manipulation by a pharmacist among the prescription information or patient information, guides the selected item to the communication terminal 103, and receives the item from the communication terminal 103 It is also possible to perform a manual function by the communication terminal 103 by transmitting the operation command to be transmitted to the pharmacy management system.

In other words, when control rights are granted to the communication terminal 103, items of low importance except for items that are important for the patient's disease or that should not be deleted or modified among prescription information or patient information are selected and guided. For items only, manual function control of the PMS 102 by the communication terminal 103 may be performed.

As described above, the processing unit 120 performs manual function control on limited items, so that the PMS 102 can be easily manipulated through the various communication terminals 103, so that the patient's information, which is liable to be changed by mistake, can be easily protected. I can.

In addition, the control unit 130 grants control authority to the communication terminal 103 for relatively simple and low-occurrence tasks such as clicks and drags that can be operated with a mouse, and is complicated such as inputting specific details or exceptions of the patient. For a job requiring a key input operation with a high number of occurrences, control authority may be given to the pharmacy terminal 101 on which the PMS 102 is driven. The processing unit 120 may control the PMS 102 through a mouse operation (touch input) by the communication terminal 103 or a keyboard operation by the pharmacy terminal 101.

For example, the control unit 130 grants control authority to the pharmacy terminal 101 in the case of a task that is accompanied by a keyboard input such as name and number, such as registration of a new patient, drug, or prescription issuing institution, and has a low frequency of occurrence. And, in the case of a task in which a mouse operation is mainly used, such as a prescription input, a prescription correction, etc., and a high frequency of occurrence is performed, a control authority may be given to the communication terminal 103.

In this way, the control unit 130 optimally grants control rights between the pharmacy terminal 101 and the communication terminal 103 according to the simple degree of operation that can be determined by only mouse operation and whether the operation occurs frequently. can do.

Therefore, a series of tasks on the PMS 102 that are previously controlled only through the pharmacy terminal 101 can be processed more quickly and conveniently by cooperation between the communication terminal 103 and the pharmacy terminal 101.

As described above, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the PMS 102 operating on the PC is connected to the various communication terminals 103 through a network, and complex operations requiring keyboard input are performed through the PC, and clicks, drags, etc. By performing simple operations only possible with mouse operation through the communication terminal 103, the movement of the user (pharmacist) is minimized and the convenience of pharmacy operation tasks such as storing prescription information and printing medicine bags through the PMS 102 I can plan.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the conventional function of the PMS 102, which only operates on a PC, can be performed on a mobile terminal such as a smart phone or a tablet, so that long and complicated key input for PC operation is possible, and The PMS 102 can be controlled by reflecting all the advantages of allowing quick input of simple commands such as click/drag of mobile operation.

2 is a diagram illustrating a process of controlling a PMS in a message exchange method in a pharmacy management system control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The present invention may consist of a pharmacy terminal executing a PMS, various types of communication terminals controlling the PMS through a network, and an agent performing communication between the communication terminal and the PMS.

Agent can control PMS through message exchange method. Specifically, the Agent defines a protocol for controlling the communication terminal and the PMS in advance, and can send and receive messages according to various operations.

In this case, a keyboard input is essential and a complex operation with a low frequency of occurrence is performed by a pharmacy terminal, and an operation with a high frequency of occurrence and mainly requiring a mouse operation can be performed by a communication terminal.

For example, if one prescription is to be stored in the PMS, QR data is generated using the prescription barcode in the communication terminal, and a message is generated according to the specified protocol and transmitted to the Agent. At this time, the Agent analyzes the input message and recognizes the prescription input command, and makes the PMS perform the prescription input processing process in the same way as the existing prescription input operation. Thereafter, when the communication terminal transmits the storage command to the Agent, the Agent performs the same operation as the existing storage operation of the PMS. In this process, the agent performs Dur check and if there is a drug that requires input of the reason for exception among the prescription drugs, it enters the reason for exception according to the keyboard operation by the pharmacy terminal, and generates a message according to the specified protocol and sends the result back to the communication terminal. To pass on. The communication terminal analyzes the message and displays the result of storing the prescription to the user.

In this way, the pharmacist simply manipulates the prescription submitted by the patient visiting the pharmacy with a communication terminal (scan, mouse, touch), enters and stores the prescription details in PMS while confronting the patient, and prints the prescription details on the medicine bag. You can guide medication in real time. In this case, the pharmacist does not need to move to the PC to input the prescription details while confronting the patient at the counter, and time and manpower for inputting the prescription details may not be required separately.

The pharmacy management system control system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as an agent program (hereinafter referred to as'Agent') executed in a pharmacy terminal, or included in an external server connected to one or more pharmacy terminals through a network. , In this specification, it will be described that the pharmacy management system control system of the present invention is implemented as an Agent executed in a pharmacy terminal as shown in FIG. 2.

The pharmacy terminal is a PC on which a pharmacy management system (hereinafter, referred to as'PMS') is driven, and may be a desktop or a laptop. PMS can refer to a program for managing pharmacy operations such as drugs and customers dispensed and sold in pharmacies.

The communication terminal is a terminal used by a user ('pharmacist') facing a patient in a pharmacy and may be various terminals such as a tablet, a smart phone, and a PC that can be connected to the pharmacy terminal by wire or wirelessly.

The communication terminal may control the PMS through an application previously distributed by the agent (hereinafter,'App'). For example, the App scans QR data in the prescription or issues a connection request to process the communication connection with the pharmacy terminal, displays information from the PMS (prescription information, reasons for exception, etc.), or on the pharmacist's finger or mouse. Input manipulation by message processing or screen synchronization can be processed and transmitted to the Agent.

The agent can process and transmit/receive data between the App in the communication terminal and the PMS in the pharmacy terminal according to a control method selected from a message exchange method or a screen synchronization method, and FIG. 2 shows the case where the control method is confirmed as a message exchange method. Examples will be described.

For reference, the control method may be selected as a default value (eg,'message exchange method') for the agent, but it may be selected in a more convenient method according to the situation in the pharmacy when a connection request is generated from the communication terminal.

Referring to FIG. 2, the App in the communication terminal generates a connection request to the pharmacy terminal when a patient's pharmacy visit is confirmed (step 201).

The agent establishes a TCT socket to connect the App in the communication terminal and the PMS in the pharmacy terminal (step 202). For example, the Agent can set up a TCP socket for communication with a communication terminal by using the information of the PC where the PMS is installed ('IP address','Port number').

At this time, if the communication terminal is a mobile mobile terminal capable of Bluetooth wireless communication, the Agent may first try to connect through Bluetooth wireless communication before establishing a TCP socket.

The App scans the QR data (eg, '2D barcode') of the prescription using the camera photographing function of the communication terminal (step 203), and transmits a message including the QR data to the Agent (step 204).

3A is an example of a message including QR data.

As shown in FIG. 3A, the App may encrypt QR data scanned from a prescription, process the encrypted QR data 310 as a message, and transmit the message to the Agent.

Returning to FIG. 2, the Agent decrypts the QR data 310 from the received message and transmits it to the PMS (step 205).

The PMS analyzes the QR data transmitted by the agent to inquire patient information and generates prescription information (step 206).

For example, the PMS may identify and query at least one patient information among patient name, gender, age, and insurance information regarding a patient who submitted a prescription from a page accessed by the QR data.

In addition, PMS from the page accessed by the QR data, the billing code for the prescription drug, drug name, dosage, number of administration and administration date, insurance information applied for each drug, prescription number (id), nursing institution information, At least one item of disease information and special information may be identified, and prescription information may be generated including the item.

In this case, the agent may modify the patient information based on the key input information from the pharmacy terminal if the patient information is not inquired or the patient information does not match that of the patient who submitted the prescription.

4B is an example of a screen for requesting confirmation of patient information from a communication terminal.

As shown in FIG. 4B, if the insurance information recorded on the prescription does not match the previously recorded insurance information, the Agent displays a message 420 requesting confirmation of the insurance information on the UI screen 410, and the patient You can ask the pharmacist you are confronting with for accurate information.

Returning to Fig. 2, the agent processes the prescription information generated by the PMS into a message form that can be transmitted through the TCP socket and transmits it to the App of the communication terminal (steps 207 and 208).

3B is an example of a message including prescription information.

As shown in FIG. 3B, the agent may encrypt prescription information transmitted from the PMS, process a message including the encrypted prescription information 320, and transmit it to the App. Here, id '934' may be a prescription number.

Returning to Fig. 2, the App decodes and displays the prescription information from the received message (step 209), and requests confirmation of whether the prescription information is correct (step 210).

When it is confirmed that the prescription information is incorrect from the pharmacist facing the patient, the App transmits a message requesting correction of the prescription information to the Agent (step 211).

Upon receipt of the modification request message, the agent modifies the prescription information with the corrected content inputted by the keyboard from the pharmacy terminal, processes the corrected prescription information into a message, and transmits the modified prescription information back to the App (steps 212 to 215).

The App displays the revised prescription information (step 216), and requests confirmation that the revised prescription information is correct (step 217).

4A is an example of a screen displaying prescription information on a communication terminal,

As shown in FIG. 4A, the App may display patient information and prescription information checked through scanning of QR data on the UI screen 410 of the communication terminal.

At this time, when the correction button 413 is input on the UI screen 410 and it is confirmed that the prescription information is incorrect again, steps 211 to 217 are repeatedly performed.

Alternatively, if the "Save button" 412 is input while the option value 411 for "Pharmaceutical Envelope Output" is checked and selected on the UI screen 410, the App confirms that the prescription information is correct and saves the prescription information. The requested message is transmitted to the Agent (step 218).

3C is an example of a message regarding storage of prescription information.

As shown in FIG. 3C, the App may generate a message for storing prescription information having a prescription number (id) of '934' ("save") and transmit it to the Agent. In this case, the App may generate the message further including an option value related to the prescription output.

Returning to Fig. 2, upon receipt of the storage request message, the Agent transmits a storage command including an option value for outputting a weak envelope to the PMS (step 219).

The PMS performs a Drug Utilization Review (DUR) check on the prescription information according to the storage instruction (step 220).

As a result of the DUR check, if the prescription information contains drugs that are contraindicated to the patient or expected to cause side effects, the agent requests the input of the reason for exception through the communication terminal and through the pharmacy terminal, and the reason for the exception entered by the keyboard through the pharmacy terminal. The message is processed and transmitted to the communication terminal (steps 221 and 222).

The communication terminal displays the reason for the exception on the UI screen and requests confirmation of whether the reason for the exception is correct (steps 223 and 224).

When a confirmation message is received from the communication terminal, the agent transmits a confirmation command to the PMS to store the exception reason in the DB along with the prescription information (steps 225 and 226).

The PMS stores the prescription information and the reason for exception in the DB, and outputs the prescription information to the medicine envelope (steps 227 and 228).

5 is a diagram illustrating a process of controlling a PMS in a screen synchronization method in a pharmacy management system control system according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The pharmacy management system control system according to an embodiment of the present invention may be implemented as an agent program (hereinafter referred to as'Agent') 500, and executed in the pharmacy terminal 101 together with the PMS 102 for pharmacy operation management. I can. The pharmacy terminal 101 may exemplify a PC capable of operating a keyboard with a relatively complex operation.

The communication terminal 103 is a variety of terminals such as a tablet, a smart phone, and a PC that can be connected to the pharmacy terminal 101 by wire or wireless, and can control the PMS through an App previously distributed by the Agent 500.

5, according to the screen synchronization method in the agent 500, the execution screen of the PMS 102 executed in the pharmacy terminal 101 is periodically captured and displayed on the App of the communication terminal 103, and the mouse on the App screen An embodiment of controlling the PMS 102 by checking the position of the point where the operation (touch input) has occurred will be described.

Referring to FIG. 5, the agent 500 establishes a TCP socket for communication with the communication terminal 103 using the connection information (eg, IP address or port number) of the pharmacy terminal 101 in which the PMS 102 is installed. Set (step 1).

Alternatively, the Agent 500 may activate the Bluetooth wireless communication function of the pharmacy terminal 101 and connect to the communication terminal 103 through Bluetooth wireless communication.

When the connection with the communication terminal 103 is established, the agent 500 captures the screen of the PMS 102 and transmits it to the communication terminal 103 (step 2).

The App in the communication terminal 103 displays the captured screen of the received PMS 102 (step 3). Through this, the pharmacist can check the latest status of the PMS 102.

Thereafter, the App scans the QR data printed on the prescription using the camera's shooting function in the communication terminal 103, encrypts the scanned QR data, and transmits the scanned QR data to the Agent 500 in the form of a message (step 4).

Agent 500 decrypts the received QR data and delivers it to PMS 102, and when prescription information generated by analyzing QR data in PMS 102 is displayed in pharmacy terminal 101, the screen of PMS 102 Is captured and transmitted to the communication terminal 103 (step 5), and the App displays the received capture screen (step 6).

Here, the capture screen is, for example, the UI screen 410 shown in FIG. 4A, along with prescription information and patient information generated through QR data analysis, an option value 411 for outputting a medicine envelope, and prescription information. A save button 412 and an edit button 413 may be included.

When the app is tap-controlled by the save button 412 in the capture screen, the app transmits the first location of the tap-controlled point to the agent 500 (step 7). Here, the tap control may be, for example, a touch input to the screen of the communication terminal 103 or a push input of a mouse.

The agent 500 converts the first location into a second location according to the actual screen size of the PMS 102 executed in the pharmacy terminal 101 (step 8), and generates a click command for the second location Do (Step 9).

At this time, if the second location is in the area where the'save button (412 in Fig. 4A)' is displayed, the Agent 500 converts the click command to a save command and stores the prescription information in the PMS 102. And print out a weak envelope (step 10).

When the second location is in the area where the'edit button (413 in FIG. 4A)' is displayed, the agent 500 may request the communication terminal 103 to modify prescription information.

The pharmacist may input the corrected content of prescription information through an input component provided in the communication terminal 103 or may input the corrected content through a keyboard operation provided in the pharmacy terminal 101. The agent 500 may modify and store prescription information based on the inputted content.

6 is a diagram illustrating an example of generating a click command when controlling a PMS in a screen synchronization method.

6, the communication terminal 610 displays a capture screen of a PMS, and when a touch input is generated on the displayed capture screen, a relative coordinate 603 with respect to the point 601 where the touch input is generated is first As a location, it can be transmitted to the pharmacy management system control system of the present invention.

Specifically, the communication terminal 610 identifies the absolute coordinate 602'(800, 600)' in the communication terminal 610 with respect to the point 601 where the touch input is generated, and in the absolute coordinate 602, The relative coordinate 603 to which the screen size of the communication terminal 610 (for example, 1200 pixels horizontally and 800 vertically pixels) is applied may be transmitted as the relative coordinates 603'(800/1200, 600/800)'.

The pharmacy management system control system applies the screen size of the pharmacy terminal 620 (e.g., 1920 pixels horizontally and 1080 vertical pixels) to the relative coordinates 603 received from the communication terminal 610, and the point 601 Absolute coordinates 604 in the pharmacy terminal 620 for'((800/1200)*1920, (600/800)*1080)' can be calculated.

The pharmacy management system control system may generate a click command using the calculated absolute coordinate 604 as the second position. That is, the pharmacy management system control system may control the PMS to move the mouse to the second position and click.

At this time, if the absolute coordinates 604 fall within an area in which the'save button' is displayed as shown in FIG. 6, the pharmacy management system control system may control the PMS to store prescription information.
