Method and apparatus for a management system for user authentication and prescription refill verification
First Claim
1. A method for securing prescription data, the method comprising:
- generating a code vector including a series of authentication codes;
storing at least one of the authentication codes on a peripheral device;
maintaining an indication of a next expected authentication code from the code vector;
allowing prescription creation by a user when the peripheral device is detected and determined to be an authorized device, and that the authentication code provided from the peripheral device matches the next expected authentication code;
storing a prescription associated with a patient having a patient PIN, wherein the prescription is provided by the user;
generating a plurality of refill verification codes associated with the prescription; and
authorizing dispensing responsive to receipt of one of the plurality of refill verification codes and the patient PIN.

Abstract
Described is a method and system for the secure management and verification of prescriptions allowing patients, doctors and dispensers to access prescriptions as directed by patients. An example method may include generating a code vector including a series of authentication codes, storing at least one of the authentication codes on a peripheral device, maintaining an indication of a next expected authentication code from the code vector, allowing prescription creation by a user when the peripheral device is detected and determined to be an authorized device, and that the authentication code provided from the peripheral device matches the next expected authentication code, storing a prescription associated with a patient having a patient PIN, wherein the prescription is provided by the user, generating a plurality of refill verification codes associated with the prescription, and authorizing dispensing responsive to receipt of one of the plurality of refill verification codes and the patient PIN.

8. A system for securing prescription data, the system comprising:
-
one or more processing units; and at least one computer readable media encoded with instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processing units to; generate a series of authentication codes; store at least one of the authentication codes on a peripheral device; maintain an indication of a next expected authentication code; allow prescription creation by a user when the peripheral device is detected and determined to be an authorized device, at least in part, by identifying a match between the next expected authentication code and the at least one authentication code provided by the peripheral device; store a prescription associated with a patient having a patient PIN, wherein the prescription is provided by the user; generate a plurality of refill verification codes associated with the prescription; and authorize dispensing responsive to receipt of one of the plurality of refill verification codes and the patient PIN. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13)
