Description

  The present invention relates to a technique of a user interface screen that displays time-series data. For example, the present invention is applied to a display screen of electronic medical record information observed by a medical worker.

  Conventionally, there is a “user interface application” that displays time series data for project management from various viewpoints so that the user can easily understand. In particular, regarding medical electronic medical record information, it is desirable that medical personnel can quickly observe past treatment actions along the time axis in order to examine the next treatment plan for each patient. As such a user interface application, there is a technique called “clinical path”, for example, which allows a medical practice to be observed by a schedule table.

  As a user interface for displaying electronic medical chart information, the horizontal axis displays a multi-stage time axis, such as yearly, monthly, or daily, and the vertical axis represents medical practice (disease name, medication, diagnosis, examination, etc.) There is a technique for displaying (see, for example, Patent Documents 1 to 3). According to this technique, a medical action actually performed is displayed as an object along the time axis. The observer can change a certain time scale (time scale) of the time axis to an arbitrary stage, and can give an overview of the history of past medical practice. The high level of bird's-eye view of this information supports the medical worker's thinking so as to facilitate the estimation of the causal relationship between action items. In particular, by looking at an optimal time scale, it is possible to compare the causal relationship of medical practices that seem to be random at first glance.

Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2008-192002 JP 2009-134713 A JP 2009-282557 A

  For medical professionals, it is necessary to visually browse past medical data such as medication information and examination information for patients in time series. Therefore, browsing is performed while increasing or decreasing the time interval (time scale) in the observation display.

  When a medical worker observes time-series medical practice data of a patient, it is preferable to use both long-term observation and short-term observation. For example, in the case of a patient born in 1983, illnesses and tests (events) peculiar to infants are concentrated between 1983 and 1984. When an illness or the like of an infant influences after an adult, it is desired to display a time scale of a short period of the infant period long. On the other hand, in the case of an elderly patient, it is also desired to display on a relatively long time scale, including illnesses at a young age. That is, there is a demand for medical professionals to visually oversee the entire medical practice for a patient and to observe in detail the time when many medical practices were performed. According to the techniques described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 described above, the electronic medical record information simply expands and contracts the time scale, but cannot be moved and displayed instantaneously on data to be noted.

  For example, as the condition of a sick patient whose long-term follow-up changes suddenly, the long-term data transition needs to be overlooked, while the data that should be noted in the past needs to be browsed instantaneously. Further, even if the time scale is enlarged or reduced, it is not always possible to move to the data to be noted with certainty.

  In addition, a dedicated terminal is used as the electronic medical chart system, and the medical staff has to perform operations specific to the system. On the other hand, in recent years, terminals such as tablet / slate personal computers and smartphones that are equipped with a touch panel display and can be intuitively operated by a user's finger have become widespread. Also, with regard to the electronic medical record system, the operation burden on the medical staff can be reduced by using such a tablet terminal.

It is explanatory drawing showing variable control of the moving speed of the display range in a time direction. It is the 1st explanatory view showing movement of the display range in the action item enumeration direction. It is the 2nd explanatory view showing movement of the display range in the action item enumeration direction. It is a functional block diagram of the tablet-type terminal in this invention.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is an external view of a tablet terminal on which time-series data is displayed on a display.

  According to the present invention, the present invention is applied to a tablet / slate personal computer or a smartphone terminal (hereinafter referred to as “tablet terminal”). The tablet terminal 1 is equipped with a touch panel display 101, which displays time-series data for the user and detects a finger operation by the user.

  From the touch panel display 101, a flick operation of the user's finger is detected. The “flick” operation is an operation in which a finger (or pointing device) touching the screen is slightly slid with respect to the touch panel display. In this operation, the user touches with his / her finger so as to quickly pay on the display.

  Further, the touch position of the finger and the direction of the flick are detected from the touch panel display 101. The contact position is represented by coordinates (x, y) on the screen, and the flick direction is detected in a direction connecting the coordinates of the first contact position and the coordinates of the subsequent contact position.

According to FIG. 1, the touch panel display 101 is oriented horizontally, and electronic medical chart information (time series data) observed by a medical worker is displayed. According to FIG. 1, a plurality of action items (medical actions) are displayed on the vertical axis, and a time axis is displayed on the horizontal axis. A plurality of “lines” having multi-stage time scales (time scales) are displayed at the top of the time axis. For example, the following three lines are displayed.
-Yearly line (large time scale)
・ Monthly line ・ Dayly line (time scale is small)

  The medical staff can select any one of multi-stage time scale lines based on the patient's past medical history. Here, according to the touch panel display, any one of a plurality of lines can be selected by a user's finger or a pointing device. According to the selected line, the past medical history is displayed from a desired time (for example, the current date and time).

  Further, according to FIG. 1, for each action item, an event indicating that the action has been executed is displayed at a corresponding position on the time axis. Events are displayed as simple rectangular objects. “Event” refers to an information unit in which an action item, an action time (or time width), and action content information are associated with each other. The distance between these objects changes according to the time scale in the selected line. That is, the larger the time scale, the shorter the distance between objects, and the smaller the time scale, the longer the distance.

  FIG. 2 is an explanatory diagram showing the display range of the display in the present invention.

According to FIG. 2, events are displayed on different time scales. In addition, “predetermined unit period” and “number of events of interest” are shown for each time scale.
-Fig. 2 (a): Annual unit, one month for a predetermined unit period, number of events of interest 4
FIG. 2 (b): Monthly, predetermined unit period 10 days, number of events of interest 3
・ Figure 2 (c): Daily unit, predetermined unit period 5 days, number of events of interest 2
Here, the “number of events of interest” refers to the number of events specified in advance in a predetermined unit period. It is determined that a portion including more events than that number is an event that the user should pay attention to.

For example, in the time scale in units of years in FIG. 2A, a portion that is included four times (number of events of interest) or more in one month (predetermined unit period) is determined to be a portion that the user should pay attention to.
In addition, regarding the time scale in units of months in FIG. 2B, a portion that is included three times (the number of events of interest) or more in 10 days (predetermined unit period) is determined to be a portion that should be noted by the user.
Further, regarding the time scale in units of days in FIG. 2C, it is determined that a part that is included twice or more (the number of events of interest) in five days (predetermined unit period) is a part to be noted by the user.

  In the following description, the number of events is described. However, for example, when an event has a time range, the number of events divided into unit periods is also preferable. For example, when one event has a time width of December 20, 2008 to December 23, 2008, if the unit period is a day unit, it is four days. In this case, the number of events can be counted as four.

  According to T211 in FIG. 2A, events are displayed in a plurality of columns of action items on a yearly time scale. Here, it is assumed that the user performs a flick operation on the event string of the action item A. By this flick operation, a portion around December 2008 for the action item A is detected from the detected contact position of the finger. In addition, it is detected from the detected flick direction that the finger has been applied in the past direction.

  At this time, with respect to the action item A, a portion including events of the number of events of interest or more is searched from around December 2008 toward the past. Here, around June 2008, a portion including four events in a predetermined unit time of one month is detected. Then, the portion T212 in FIG. 2A is displayed.

  Such an operation is the same regardless of whether it is monthly or daily.

  According to T221 in FIG. 2B, events are displayed in a plurality of columns of action items on a monthly time scale. Here, it is assumed that the user performs a flick operation on the event string of the action item A. By this flick operation, a portion around the end of June 2008 for the action item A is detected from the detected finger contact position. In addition, it is detected from the detected flick direction that the finger has been applied in the past direction.

  At this time, with respect to the action item A, a portion including events of the number of events of interest or more is searched from the end of June 2008 toward the past. Here, a portion including three events in a predetermined unit time of 10 days is detected around early May 2008. Then, the portion T222 in FIG. 2B is displayed.

  According to T231 in FIG. 2C, events are displayed in a plurality of columns of action items on a yearly time scale. Here, it is assumed that the user performs a flick operation on the event string of the action item A. By this flick operation, the June 20, 2008 portion for the action item A is detected from the detected contact position of the finger. In addition, it is detected from the detected flick direction that the finger has been applied in the past direction.

  At this time, with respect to the action item A, a portion including events of the number of events of interest or more is searched from June 20, 2008 toward the past. Here, on May 29, 2008, a part in which two events are included in five predetermined unit times is detected. Then, the portion T232 in FIG. 2C is displayed.

  FIG. 3 is an explanatory diagram showing variable control of the moving speed of the display range in the time direction.

With reference to FIG. 3, a case where flicking in the time direction from T231 in FIG. 2 described above will be described. Here, the time scale is expressed in units of days.
Daily unit: Number of events of interest 2 for a predetermined unit period of 5 days
When moving from T31 to T36, the display range of the event object is moved. At this time, for example, two moving speeds are defined, and the display range is moved while changing the moving speed.
First moving speed (fast)> Second moving speed (slow)

T31-> T32: With respect to the direction of the flick with respect to the action item A (here, the past direction), the display range is moved faster at the first movement speed until the next object is detected.
T32-> T33: Since the number of events included in the predetermined unit period of 5 days is less than the number of events of interest 2, the display range is moved slowly at the second moving speed for a predetermined time thereafter.
T33-> T34: Thereafter, until the next object is detected, the display range is moved quickly at the first moving speed.
T34-> T35: Since the number of events included in the predetermined unit period 5 days is less than the number of events of interest 2, the display range is moved slowly at the second moving speed for a predetermined time thereafter.
T35-> T36: Thereafter, until the next object is detected, the display range is moved quickly at the first moving speed.
T36: Since the number of events included in the predetermined unit period of 5 days is equal to or greater than the number of events of interest, the display range is stopped there.

In another embodiment, the scroll speed (moving speed) is preferably changed according to the number of events included in the predetermined unit period, not limited to two moving speeds.
Number of events included in the display range for the action item: many-> movement speed: slow
: Less-> Movement speed: Fast

  FIG. 4 is a first explanatory diagram illustrating movement of the display range in the action item listing direction.

  When the number of action items is extremely large, it is necessary to scroll the display range vertically, and this operation also reduces usability. Therefore, usability can be improved by changing the scroll speed (movement speed) according to the number of events.

Referring to FIG. 4, the case where the action item is flicked in the enumeration direction (upward or downward) from T231 in FIG. 2 will be described. Here, the number of events of interest is stored for each action item. The action item including the number of events equal to or greater than the number of events of interest in the display range represents what the user should pay attention to. Note that the number of events of interest varies depending on the time scale. Here, the number of events of interest for each action item in the daily time scale is shown as an example.
Action item A: Number of events of interest 4
Action item B: Number of events of interest 4
Action item C: Number of events of interest 3
...
Action item I: Number of events of interest 2

: Less-> Movement speed: Fast

  FIG. 5 is a second explanatory diagram illustrating movement of the display range in the action item listing direction.

Referring to FIG. 5, the case where the action item is flicked in the enumeration direction (upward or downward) from T231 in FIG. 2 will be described. Here, one attention event number is stored for the display range. The display range including the number of events equal to or greater than the number of events of interest represents what the user should pay attention to. As in FIG. 4, the number of events of interest varies depending on the time scale. Here, the number of events of interest for each action item in the daily time scale is shown as an example.
Display range: Number of events of interest 6

[Jump method]
T51-> T55: When the action item A is flicked downward by the user's finger with respect to the action item A, the next object is detected downward in the action item.

  FIG. 6 is a functional configuration diagram of the tablet terminal according to the present invention.

  According to FIG. 6, the tablet terminal 1 has a touch panel display 101. The touch panel display 101 displays time-series data and accepts user operations. Of course, the display is not limited to the touch panel display, and may be configured by a display having only a display function and a key input unit having only a user operation function.

  6, the event storage unit 111, the time scale display unit 112, the time scale change unit 113, the event object display unit 114, the flick detection unit 115, and the attention event number storage unit 116 are included. And an attention event detection unit 117, an attention action item detection unit 118, and an attention display range detection unit 119. These functional components are realized by executing a program that causes a computer mounted on the tablet terminal to function. It should be noted that the processing flow of each functional component can also be understood as a user interface display method.

  The event storage unit 111 stores an event that is an information unit based on the action. An event is an action item, action time (or time width), and action content information associated with each other. The “action item” regarding the electronic medical record information is, for example, “medicine”, “examination”, “injection”, and the like. The “time” is, for example, an examination date or a medication date. The “time width” is, for example, a period between the start date and the end date of the medical practice. Furthermore, the “action content information” is, for example, an inspection value or a dosage.

  Each event is stored as structured data (COA). The minimum unit of COA data includes time (or time width), and the time width includes disclosure date and time (begintime) and end date and time (endtime) as member variables. When a change in the vertical direction is detected, the COA data included in the time range is searched for the time unit division based on the time width. For example, if the time scale is a monthly unit, the COA data included in the month is searched for the monthly unit division based on the time width.

  The time scale display unit 112 displays a time scale obtained by dividing the time axis into predetermined time units. The predetermined time unit is, for example, a unit of “year” “month” “day”. Each of the plurality of time scales having different predetermined time units is displayed by a plurality of lines along the time axis. The time scale display unit 112 changes the time scale in response to an instruction from the time scale change unit 113.

  The time scale changing unit 113 selects any one of a plurality of lines by a user operation. The time scale changing unit 113 can arbitrarily change the time scale of the time axis according to a user operation. For example, the time scale can be changed by selecting any one of multi-stage time scale lines displayed on the user interface screen according to the user operation. The selected time scale is output to the time scale display unit 112.

  The event object display unit 114 displays an event object for each action item in accordance with the time unit division with respect to the time axis of the time scale. Further, the event object display unit 114 displays the objects detected by the attention event object detection unit 117, the attention action item detection unit 118, and the attention display range detection unit 119.

  The flick detection unit 115 detects a flicking operation of the user's finger (detected by the finger), and also detects the contact position of the finger and the direction of the flick. The detected information is output to the attention event object detection unit 117, the attention action item detection unit 118, and the attention display range detection unit 119.

The attention event number storage unit 116 may store the following three setting values.
The attention event detection unit 117 stores “predetermined unit period” and “number of attention events” for each “time scale”.
