本論文專注於智慧給藥機中的給藥機制，此機構能夠減少照護者的負擔，並穩定的提供病患可靠的給藥服務。另外在使用者辨認功能上進行改善。除了使給藥機能更完善的支援多名使用者，更利用人臉辨識改善了使用者辨識的功能。

本論文所提出機制與其他智慧藥盒給藥機制最大的不同點，在於使用了自動給藥機制，讓照護者不需要一顆一顆的將藥物做事先分配的動作，除此之外，透過人臉辨識系統，避免誤食他人藥物的可能性。

In this thesis, we propose a new medicine dispensing mechanism for an intelligent pill dispenser to reduce the burden on caregivers and provide a reliable medicine dispensing service. In addition, and the user identification function is proposed to more fully support multiple users.

The biggest difference between this thesis and other intelligent pillbox dispensing mechanisms is that we design and implemented an automatic medicine dispensing mechanism so that caregivers does not need to dispense the medicine beforehand one by one. In addition, the face recognition system avoids the possibility of taking other user's medicines.
