Abstract:
An RF signal is provided by a base such as a smart phone. A remote is engaged with a medication container. The remote includes an RFPM, RF signal receiver, LO signal generator, and IF signal emitter. An energizer on the remote provides power only as medication is dispensed. While energized, the RFPM modulates the RF signal with an LO signal to produce an IF signal. The existence of the IF signal (characteristic of the RFPM, RF signal, and LO signal) thus indicates medication has been dispensed. The IF signal is detected in the base, and registered (recorded, displayed, communicated, etc.) as an indication that medication has been dispensed. The remote may be configured as a label applied to or a sleeve engaged with an otherwise “non-smart” container. This provides authenticated data regarding medication adherence, transparent to the user and requiring no additional user actions to register the data.

Claim (Index 29):
A method, comprising:\n in a base distal from a container, establishing an RF signal, comprising at least one of:\n generating said RF signal and wirelessly emitting said RF signal from said base; and \n wirelessly receiving said RF signal in said base; \n in a remote engaged with said container, initiating an initiator responsive to an action associated with dispensing a contents from a container, such that initiating said initiator causes an energizer of said remote to energize said remote; when energized:\n wirelessly receiving said RF signal in said remote; \n generating an LO signal in said remote; \n modulating said RF signal and said LO signal in said remote; \n wirelessly emitting said IF signal from remote; \n in said base:\n receiving said IF signal; \n comparing said IF signal to an IF signal standard; \n if said IF signal satisfies said IF signal standard, registering an event associated with said contents of said container, registering comprising at least one of storing said event and an event time thereof in said base, communicating said event and said event time from said base, and outputting said event and said event time from said base.
