Patent Images
1. A container or bottle for storing one or more substances prescribed to or procured by an authorized user, comprising:
- a motion detection device configured to detect movement or displacement of the container or bottle;
an opening trigger detection device configured to detect when a lid or cap is at least partially removed from the container or bottle; and
a transmitter in communication with the motion detection device and the opening trigger detection device, the transmitter being configured to transmit an alert to one or both of a remote device or an alert system via a network in response to one or both of the motion detection device detecting a movement or displacement of the container or bottle, or the opening trigger detection device detecting the lid or cap being at least partially removed from the container or bottle.

14. A method of detecting unauthorized use of a container or bottle, comprising:
-
receiving a first indication that the container or bottle has been moved or displaced from a stationary position; receiving a second indication that a lid or cap is at least partially removed from the container or bottle; receiving an identifier of a user attempting to access one or more substances stored in the container or bottle; determining, via processing device, whether the identifier of the user attempting to access the one or more substances stored in the container or bottle matches an identifier of an authorized user; and transmitting a third indication to a remote device via a network, the third indication being transmitted to communicate to a user associated with the remote device that one or more of the first indication is received, the second indication is received, or the identifier of the user attempting to access the one or more substances stored in the container or bottle is determined not to match the identifier of the authorized user. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17)

18. A lid or cap configured to be removably attached to a container or bottle that stores one or more substances prescribed to or procured by an authorized user, comprising:
-
a motion detection device configured to detect movement or displacement of the lid or cap when attached to the container or bottle; an opening trigger detection device configured to detect when a lid or cap is at least partially removed from the container or bottle; and a transmitter in communication with the motion detection device and the opening trigger detection device, the transmitter being configured to transmit an alert to one or both of a remote device or an alert system via a network in response to one or both of the motion detection device detecting a movement or displacement of the lid or cap when attached to the container or bottle, or the opening trigger detection device detecting the lid or cap being at least partially removed from the container or bottle.
