TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a package based on plastic or fiber. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a wireless data transmission through the packaging or plastic fiber. The present invention also relates to a method for implementing said method and software of the wireless data package on the basis of plastic or fiber. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a system of wireless transmission of data packaging on the basis of plastic or fiber.
BACKGROUND
Existing packaging based on fiber or plastic (or based on fibrous materials, paper, etc.), designed for packaging goods and articles, use and storage conditions which is necessary to track, monitor and analyze requires human intervention or manual processing. Examples of such packaging include wrapping medicines, food packaging, for packaging various types of products, etc. For the proper application of and compliance with the conditions of use of packaged goods need to ensure continuous monitoring of characteristics such as the autopsy, the application procedure, the shelf life, the ability to store, package temperature treatment of packaging, as well as other factors. In this case the main problem of the use and application of this kind of information is necessary to transfer, collect and retrieve data about the package.
Known means for solving this problem proposed by Cypak and consist in the use of a special reader or a reader. However, the reader is exclusively specialized apparatus suitable only for a specific type of package that is compatible with the reader. Therefore, the area where the necessary information is obtained, for example, in the hospital or at the pharmacy, must be equipped with a special reader that can read data from the package, for example, instructions for use on the packaging of the drug. The fact that the reader should be custom-made and specially designed for the given package is a disadvantage. Another drawback of this known means for solving this problem is that the package must contain embedded fixed transmitter (and possibly the receiver) for the exchange of information between the package and a reader, the transmitter may for example be specifically incorporated into the packaging and can support RFID RFID technology (radio frequency identification), etc. Furthermore, users such as shop or pharmacy personnel must be trained in order operation reader.
In practice, there is a separate reader in this known means for solving this problem is a disadvantage, since, for example the aggregate value of the tool is a substantial part of the cost of the entire package; the reader may be lost, which would require the purchase of a new one; users need to teach the order of operation of the reader;
a reader associated with the action of human factors, that is performed manually, etc. All this requires the use of expensive, complex and / or slozhnovnedryaemyh technologies with respect to both the packaging and, in fact, the reader.

Subscriber Identity Module) by means of packet data. Thus, SMS users can also accurately identify the system. Preferably, the SIM-card can be used for reliable identification and authentication.
FIG. 3, signal 201 coming from the module 104 is recorded in the server receiver 200. Alternatively, the server 200 can be regarded as central. In one embodiment, the server 200 is part of a router, or a central server, or computer, or similar equipment. server located close to the receiver module 104 to enable wireless data transmission, such module may reside in the coverage area of the mobile communication network. When using the router 201 is transmitted from the signal receiver in a first router, then the router in the next and so on until, until the server 200 goes on.
In one embodiment, server 200 comprises a receiver, the server 200 may be a wireless terminal equipped with the necessary system and readout apparatus, or may be a stationary unit from which the information is transmitted by wire to the central terminal or server. The resulting signal is processed by the terminal software, and information such as data on medicines is automatically routed to the appropriate system, for example in the health information points or in the data processing system of the patients.
FIG. 4 shows an exemplary embodiment of the module 104. The module includes a power supply 1042, modem 1044 and 1040. The microcontroller unit 104 is encased and is portable, it is possible to perform various manipulations independently and separately from the package 100. The modem module 104 1,044 can be designed for mobile communication, for example, GSM standard, GPRS, 3G, etc. Preferably, in one embodiment, module 104 is a module in a plastic housing GPRS network for transmitting data corresponding CE / EN standards (European standards), abutting with an "intelligent" user package 100, such a medicament package. In one example, can be used 4-frequency GPRS module. Preferably, for most of the time to minimize power consumption it module 104 is turned off, and is activated by the microcontroller 1040. The microcontroller 1040 if necessary may be for example an 8-bit device. The microcontroller 1040 is connected with packing 100 via the interface 102. The microcontroller 1040 receives package information 100 106, on the basis of which it is controlled. In one embodiment, microcontroller 1040 obtains the tablets from the package receiving medicament, which receives information from the printed conductors 101 on the package 100, and detects, for example, pressing buttons on the package. Based on the information managed by the microcontroller 106, for example, the following processes, parameters and devices:
power, battery, real time, a reminder alert signal, data transmission unit 104, and others. Thus, the package may contain only printed conductors 101 and may not contain active electronic elements. For example, in the case of a drug packaging we can talk about a set of buttons and recognition extrusion tablets. To monitor the status button 36 (or 36 extrude tablets) package may comprise, for example, 12 or 10 output lines. In this case, module 104 may provide continuous monitoring of the pills during the day, with the software of the microcontroller 1040 are recorded approximate time of day corresponding to the tablet receiving, for example up to an hour. Preferably, in order to reduce power consumption and cost of other electronic components of the microcontroller 1040 does not contain an accurate real time pulse generator, however, time synchronization takes place when a connection is a modem 1044, and the timing means only inexpensive microcontroller internal clock generator 1040. Thus , the time pulse generator module 104 counts the time with sufficient accuracy.
Figure 4 shows that the module 104 includes a power supply 1042 such as Li-Ion battery that provides electricity to the module 104. The module 104 Power consumption is controlled by an 8-bit microcontroller 1040. Most of the time the microcontroller 1040 keeps mobile modem 1044 off. A communication session is performed, such as once or twice per day. At this point, the microcontroller 1040 is activated and then sends a command to activate a modem 1044. With the active compound and the current consumption is increased, such as about 200-500 mA. At a certain time interval compound current consumption can also add up to 100 mA, which reduces the consumption of electricity supply in 1042.
Thus, the communication can be established, for example, once a day. Naturally, other periods are possible, and the present invention is not limited to the examples shown herein. Thus, the compound can be adjusted as infrequently as once a day, and / or duration of the connection may be by necessity small. Furthermore, it may be taken into account signal strength and throughput of mobile communication network.
1040 microcontroller module 104 collects information 106 received from the conductor package 101 100. For example, the microcontroller 1040 may collect event data, such as pills, as well as to register by clicking on the button O 1040 microcontroller from sleep mode by interrupt. When the input signal is received on conductor 101, eg pulse, the input signal is transmitted to the microcontroller. Otherwise, the microcontroller remains in a sleep mode with low power consumption. Otherwise, the microcontroller 1040 controls the conductors 101 and also in the sleep mode. The microcontroller 1040 may also maintain a count approximate real time. Based on this time may for example register pills. If necessary, the time counter can be reset when connecting to the server 200. At this time, the pulse generator, even low accuracy provides a sufficiently accurate control of time.
In one embodiment, module 104 may generate a data packet for sending a small file. In the period of active compound for communication with the server 200, a file to be transmitted by the mobile network, the module 104 uses the modem 1040. At the same time, timing pulses timer module 104 can be synchronized with the time information received from server 200.
The module 104 comprises electronic means necessary for the functioning of the packing 100 and battery 1042 provides power to the module 104. The module 104 is connected directly to the printed conductors on the package 101 through the interface 102. It is preferred that when emptying packaging 100 modules 104 can be installed on another package 100 ' . Thus, a reusable module 104 is subject to re-use and does not harm the environment.

For example, if the battery 1042 is supplied with stringent requirements for transmission of the package data 100 to the server 200. Of course, the battery capacity 1042 food packaging and also 100, and includes a microcontroller unit 1040, power control, energy savings can be achieved, and the capacity of the battery 1042 can be reduced to 750 mAh and to lower values. Thus, if necessary, the battery life may exceed one year. Battery capacity 1042 is not a limiting factor for the present invention and may vary depending on different applications. Preferably, the microcontroller 1040 controls the operation unit 104 and the packing 100 in power saving mode.

These buttons or switches on the serial bus is transmitted from the package 100 to the modem module 104 in 1044, from where they enter the server 200. The microcontroller 1040 may identify the used button or switch used, and register the time of use. For example, communication can be established twice a day. The transmitted data may comprise information on time of use and an identification mark corresponding switch or a corresponding button.
