Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0211663A2] The invention relates to a sensor device (1) on a medicament container (2), especially a blister pack for medicaments in tablet or coated tablet form, comprising a) at least one actuating device (3) for approaching/marking/pushing out and/or extracting a medicament in/from the medicament container (2); b) a device (5) for seeking and/or detecting an extraction position (8) in relation to the medicament container (2), this device interacting with said actuating device (3); c) signal generating and/or signal processing means which are connected to the seeking and/or detecting device (5), for generating and/or emitting, storing and displaying corresponding position signals which characterise the position of the actuating device (3). The actuating device (3) can be rotated and/or shifted into the marking-extracting position and the seeking and/or detecting device (5) is a position measuring device (7) which is driven by the actuating device (3). Said position measuring device detects the linear and/or rotational movements of the actuating device (3) in relation to the medicament container (2) and converts them into position measuring signals. The position measuring device (7) has such high resolution that any extraction positions in the entire area of surface (9) that can be detected by the actuating device (3) can be identified and/or freely selected and/or defined. A processor device (10) into which the position co-ordinates that are allocated to the extraction positions of the medicaments can be read through the actuating device (3) and/or in which said co-ordinates can be compared with stored position co-ordinates is connected to the position measuring device (7).
