PACKAGE-COMPANION-USER INTERACTIVE SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED METHOD
First Claim
1. A system to regulate medicinal product consumption by an individual consumer comprising:
- a product package to contain a medicinal product, comprisinga first data storage circuitry secured to the package and encoded with a first information;
a companion device comprising;
one or more signal generators;
one or more sensors to sense a signal generated by the one or more signal generators;
a receptor region contoured to receive at least a portion of the product package and having the one or more signal generators and the one or more sensors disposed therewith;
a reader configured to read the first information from the product package;
a second data storage circuitry coupled to the reader and encoded with a second information;
a processing circuitry associated with the reader configured to process the first information and the second information to authenticate the package.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a package-companion-user interactive system providing a comprehensive means of product authentication, registration for effective compliance, with user real-time feedback. The system comprises of a product package provided with a smart data processor and companion device comprising a housing with package holding provision; an array of signal generating means and signal sensing means provided in the said device to receive and reflect signals generated by the said signal generating means; user interactive means; powered time tracking means; data decoding means, data processing, data storage means, optionally equipped with audio visual display means, data transfer and connectivity means so configured to register user with the said device; authenticate product package, register product package, and optionally carrying out transient data collection and/or user feedback; when the said product package is placed in the said housing; wherein the product package is without any severable conductor.

2. A package-companion-user interactive system comprising:
-
a product package, comprising; a smart data processor affixed or embedded to the product package and encoded with a product package data using a unique identification protocol and further capable of storing a registration data corresponding to a user whereby the product package is configured for optional exclusive use by the user;
a companion device comprising;a housing with a package holding means; an array of signal generators; an array of corresponding signal sensors configured to receive signals generated by the array of signal generators; a user interactive and user input assembly including a display; a powered time tracker; a data decoding, processing and storage system configured to register a user, authenticate and register a product package when positioned with the housing, and optionally carry out one or more of transient data collection and user feedback, comprising; an authentication decoder configured to decode the encoded product authentication data; a memory configured to store; an accession time data entered by user through the input interactive and user input assembly regarding a desired accession time; a user registration data input through the user interactive and user input assembly; and a product package authentication data; a data processor configured to output a user signal with the user interactive and user input assembly to provide an indication to the user of the desired accession time; and a means for connecting the companion device to a service provider, wherein upon positioning of the product package with the companion device, the companion device interacts with the product package to authenticate the product package by; decoding the registration data and the product package data from the product package using the unique identification protocol; storing the decoded registration data and product data in the memory; matching the decoded registration data and product data with the stored user registration data and product authentication data; displaying a signal on the display to the user regarding authentication; displaying a signal on the display to the user regarding registration of the user; limiting access to the product package; and limiting access of the product package only to the companion device; and deactivating the registration of the package after a predetermined time, wherein the package and companion device interacts with user by; providing a signal to the user on the display for entering an accession data regarding a time of access; storing the accession data in the memory; displaying or providing a signal using the user interactive and user input assembly regarding accession of the product to provide an indication to the user; storing a data history of accession times of the product package; storing user feedback in the memory; and communicating information corresponding to the user through the means for connecting the companion device to a service provider.
