BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The advantages and features of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following detailed description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG 1 illustrates a side view of the invention.
\ FIG 2 illustrates the watch alongside with its internal component.
FIG 3 illustrates the internal component in full view.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE •
The exemplary embodiments described herein detail for illustrative purposes are subject to many variations in structure and design. It should be emphasized, however, that the present invention is not limited to a particular design as described. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but these are intended to cover the application or implementation without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
The terms "a" and "an" herein do not denote a limitation of quantity, but rather denote the presence of at least one of the referenced item.
In addition, the terms "having", "comprising", "including", and variations thereof signify the presence of a component.
The present invention provides a basic system for controlling the timing as well as amount of medication that the user/owner would be required to take along with

working as a reminder for said medicines. It would also be easily accessible and make the medicines easily accessible as well. More changes or improvements would be made in the future in later phases to further improve said invention to not only improve the interface, capacity, cost, etc.
The system and method, as envisaged by the present invention, will now be explained in conjunction with Figs. 1, 2, 3 as below.
The term "Caretaker" would henceforth be used to refer to the smartwatch with a medicine reminding and delivery mechanism as envisaged by the present invention.
Fig. 1 illustrates the overall structure of the caretaker as would be seen by the user/owner. This figure shows all of the outer features of the caretaker. The first feature to be pointed out is the strap [1] which will be used for storing extra medicines in case of backups, refills, etc. The second feature is the face [2] which would consist of a digital display [3] that shows the time and date in a big font so the major demographic for the invention i.e. the elderly would be able to see it, also it would be able to make and show reminders of each day so one can not only set but view the set alarms. The display would be interfaceable so the wearer can set alarms and change settings using the same. The present invention envisages that at the designated time each day, a compartment [4], in the caretaker, holding the medicine would pop up as shown, making the medicine accessible and visible to the user and the medicine can be taken. However if for some reason the medicine is not picked up and the compartment [4] is closed, the alarm rings again reminding the owner/user to take it. The compartment [4] is described in detail with reference to fig 3[4]-. This compartment [4] would use in one embodiment - one laser, one LDR and an array of small mirrors.The light would be placed a few millimeters behind the 1st mirror on the opposite wall and tilted towards the 1st mirror, the 2nd mirror would then be placed at the same distance from the 1st mirror on the opposite side of the 1st mirror. And the 3rd mirror would be placed at the same distance w.r.t 2nd mirror. The 4th mirror however would be placed opposite to the 3rd mirror but at a slight angle so as

to make the light parallel to container edge with the next mirror placed with the same orientation and the 6th, 7th and 8th mirror would be placed in an left-right inverted orientation hence creating the array of lights as shown. If there is a medicine still present inside, the laser Jight does not reach the LDR and it is assumed that the medicine is still present.
The working of the inner compartment mechanism [5] will now be explained in conjunction with Fig. 2. Particularly, Fig. 2[5] illustrates the outside view of the watch alongside the inner compartment mechanism [5] for comparison between the two with respect to size, shape and placement level. The inner compartment [5] would have a motor [6] at the centre to rotate the entire system into place and this motor [6], the entire system along with an electromagnet would be connected to microprocessor [7] which would be encapsulated in the bottom of the watch casing. The electromagnet would be used to call the compartment [4] back in through the cavity so that the mechanism [5] can be rotated. It would be attached beneath the cavity so as to perform its purpose.
The structure of the inner compartment mechanism [5] will now be explained in conjunction with Fig. 3. In Fig.3, the structure of the inner mechanism [5] can be seen in its full view and construction. Starting from the top, its lid [8] would have a tab making it easy to open. The lines that can be seen in Fig 1 within are an imaginary representation of the directions in which the laser would be shot due to the mirror array [9] so as to cover the entire area and would be switched on once the medicine is notified by the user as taken in order to get a secondary confirmation. Once confirmed that the medicine is taken, the compartment [4] with a magnet at the bottom is pulled back in. The bottom of each compartment [4] consists of a spring [10] that would shoot up the compartment automatically as soon as it comes underneath the cavity. These compartments [4] would be filled by simply using a setting, that enables one to use the same medicine giving mechanism for putting new ones in the pop up compartment and pushing it down, automatically prompting the watch to rotate the inner compartment mechanism [5] so the next compartment [4] is under the cavity.

Further, the present invention should not be construed to be limited to the configuration of the system as described herein only. Various configurations of the device are possible which shall also lie within the scope of the present invention. For instance, changing the microprocessor to something customised just for the caretaker so as to change cost and size.
The foregoing descriptions of specific embodiments of the present invention have been presented for purposes of illustration and description. They are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the precise forms disclosed, and obviously many modifications and variations are possible in light of the above teaching. The embodiments were chosen and described in order to best explain the principles of the present invention and its practical application, and to thereby enable others to best utilize the present invention and various embodiments with various modifications as are suited to the particular use contemplated. It is understood that various omissions and substitutions of equivalents are contemplated as circumstances may suggest or render expedient, but such omissions and substitutions are intended to cover the application or implementation without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
