Description

  The present invention relates to a biological information display device that monitors vital signs and a biological information display control device.

  An electrocardiogram is created based on an electrocardiogram signal obtained by attaching an electrocardiogram electrode to a living body. The electrocardiograph captures an electrocardiographic signal measured from the subject through its input terminal. The electrocardiogram signal is amplified by an amplification circuit inside the electrocardiograph and then supplied to the A / D converter. The electrocardiogram signal converted into a digital signal by the A / D converter is taken into the electrocardiograph CPU and stored in a buffer memory in the RAM.

<2. Device function block>
Next, the functional configuration of the biological information monitor 1 will be described with reference to FIG. The biological information monitor 1 displays biological information data including a waveform related to biological information (hereinafter referred to as a biological information waveform) on a display. The biological information data generation unit 200, the background data generation unit 201, Biometric information page screen generation unit 202, information holding unit 203, print data generation unit 204, data transfer unit 205, anti-aliasing processing unit 206, resolution processing unit 207, display unit 208, print operation unit 210, A display processing operation unit 211, a data transfer operation unit 209, and a touch panel display 11.

  The biological information data generation unit 200 generates biological information data including a biological information waveform. The biological information data generation unit 200 generates a biological information waveform or the like based on measurement data transmitted from the biological information measuring device via the measuring device interface 2 shown in FIG.

  The background data generation unit 201 generates background data arranged in the background of the biological information waveform. Conventionally, in a biological information waveform, for example, an electrocardiogram has been printed in advance on a graph paper having a plurality of ruled lines in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction of the electrocardiogram. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, in order to print on a blank sheet, a plurality of ruled lines are included in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction in the background of the biological information waveform such as an electrocardiogram. The background data generation unit 201 generates, as background data, a plurality of ruled lines extending in the vertical axis direction and the horizontal axis direction of a biological information waveform such as an electrocardiogram.

  The biometric information page screen generation unit 202 generates a biometric information page screen that is a page screen that displays the biometric information data. Further, when background data is generated by the background data generation unit 201, the background data is arranged on the biological information page screen in a state where the background data overlaps with the biological information waveform.

  The biometric information data generation unit 200, the background data generation unit 201, and the biometric information page screen generation unit 202 are realized, for example, when the CPU 101 executes a program stored in the ROM 103, the storage medium 104, or the like.

  The information holding unit 203 holds the biological information data generated by the biological information data generation unit 200. The biological information data is held in association with the corresponding measurement date and time, for example. Further, the information holding unit 203 may be configured to hold the background data generated by the background data generating unit 201. The information holding unit 203 may be configured to hold the biometric information page screen generated by the biometric information page screen generating unit 202. In the above case, the biometric information data generation unit 200, the background data generation unit 201, and the biometric information page screen generation unit 202 hold the generated product in the information holding unit 203, and then are necessary for each function, for example. Accordingly, a corresponding product is obtained from the information holding unit 203.

  The information holding unit 203 is realized, for example, by causing the CPU 101 to process biometric information data and background data according to a program stored in the ROM 103 or the storage medium 104 and storing the result in the storage medium 104.

  The print data generation unit 204 prints all or part of the biometric information page screen on which the biometric information data is displayed in a general-purpose format (environment-independent format) that does not depend on the platform of a specific apparatus (electronic file format ). As a result, the print data can be printed out by being transmitted to an external general-purpose printing apparatus. General-purpose format print data that does not depend on the platform of a specific device is, for example, printed by a printing device through any of various operating systems such as Windows (registered trademark), MacOSX (registered trademark), and Linux (registered trademark). Say possible print data.

  Examples of such print data file formats include a PDF (Portable Document Format) file, an XPS (XML Paper Specification) file, or an image file generated as a general-purpose image file. The file format is not limited to the above, and other printable file formats established by an international standardization organization such as ISO (International Organization for Standardization) may be used. General-purpose format image files include, for example, JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) file, GIF (Graphics Interchange Format File) file, PNG (Portable Network Graphics) file, BMP (bitmap image file), BMP (bitmap image file) Examples include a PICT (QuickDraw Picture) file, an EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) file, and a PSD (Photoshop Data) file.

  The print data generated by the print data generation unit 204 is preferably display data in a general format that can be displayed on a display independent of the platform of a specific apparatus. In general, the environment-independent type electronic file format can be displayed on a display in various environments. As described above, if the print data can be displayed on the touch panel display 11 of the biological information monitor 1, the contents can be confirmed before printing. For example, when the print data is transferred to another apparatus by the data transfer unit 205 that transfers the print data to the outside, the print data can be displayed on the display of the other apparatus. If constituted in this way, the contents can be checked before printing in other devices. If the print data is in the file format as exemplified above, the print data is display data that can be displayed on a display independent of the platform of a specific device.

  The print data generation unit 204 is realized, for example, when the CPU 101 executes a program stored in the ROM 103, the storage medium 104, or the like.

  In addition, the biological information monitor 1 performs processing related to the display of the biological information waveform. Then, for example, the anti-aliasing processing unit 206 and the resolution processing unit 207 perform the processing related to the display.

  The anti-aliasing processing unit 206 performs anti-aliasing processing on the biological information waveform. The anti-aliasing process is a process that reduces jaggy and the like generated in the contour of the object displayed on the display, and makes the backlash caused by dots generated in the contour of the object inconspicuous. This process avoids confusion between the original radial noise and the looseness caused by the resolution.

  The resolution processing unit 207 adjusts at least the resolution of the biological information waveform. The resolution processing unit 207 is preferably configured to also adjust the resolution of background data accompanying the biological information waveform. If the resolution of the biological information waveform can be increased by the resolution processing unit 207, the visibility of the biological information waveform can be improved. This also avoids confusion between the waveform fluctuation caused by low resolution and the noise caused by the noise of the biological information waveform itself.

  The anti-aliasing processing unit 206 and the resolution processing unit 207 provide the user with excellent visibility both when the print data is displayed on the touch panel display 11 and when the print data is printed on paper. can do.

  The anti-aliasing processing unit 206 and the resolution processing unit 207 are realized, for example, when the CPU 101 executes a program stored in the ROM 103, the storage medium 104, or the like.

  The display unit 208 causes the touch panel display 11 to display a biometric information page screen on which biometric information data is arranged. The display unit 208 also displays background data on the touch panel display 11 together with the biological information data.

  The display unit 208 is realized by the CPU 101 executing a program stored mainly in the storage medium 104 or the like, and the display control unit 108 executing a command issued as a result.

  The data transfer operation unit 209 receives an operation for requesting transfer of print data from the outside, and instructs the data transfer unit 205 to transfer the print data. The print data transfer request operation includes a transfer destination address designation operation. Examples of the transfer destination address designation operation include a transfer destination address input operation and a file move operation to the transfer destination folder. When receiving the above instruction, the data transfer unit 205 transfers the print data to the transfer destination address. This transfer is preferably in the so-called e-mail attachment file format.

  The data transfer operation unit 209 can be realized mainly by the touch panel display 11 and the operation input interface 107. In the data transfer unit 205, the CPU 101 that has received an operation signal from the operation input interface 107 mainly executes a program stored in the ROM 103, the storage medium 104, or the like, and sends the resulting command to the wired communication interface 106 or wireless communication. This is realized by executing the interface 108 or the like.

  The print operation unit 210 receives an operation corresponding to a print data print request from the outside, transmits the print data to a printing apparatus (not shown), and issues a print instruction. When receiving the above instruction, the printing apparatus prints the print data.

  The display processing operation unit 211 receives an operation corresponding to the processing request related to the display on the biological information waveform from the outside, and instructs the anti-aliasing processing unit 206 or the resolution processing unit 207 to perform the corresponding processing. When receiving the above instruction, the anti-aliasing processing unit 206 or the resolution processing unit 207 performs processing related to the corresponding display. Specifically, it is possible to set the resolution, turn on / off anti-aliasing, and the like.

  The print operation unit 210 and the display processing operation unit 211 can be realized mainly by the touch panel display 11 and the operation input interface 107.

<3. Biometric information page screen>
An example of the biometric information page screen 300 displayed on the touch panel display 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The biometric information page screen 300 shows a list of various types of biometric information as shown in FIG. A list of various types of biometric information is arranged in the first specific area 301 and the second specific area 306 of the biometric information page screen 300.

  A biological information waveform is arranged in the first specific area 301 of the biological information page screen 300. There may be one biological information waveform or a plurality of biological information waveforms. In addition, the biological information waveform reflects what is currently measured and is updated in real time. In addition, the biological information waveform may be placed in the first specific area 301 in the past. The horizontal axis of the first specific region 301 is a time axis 305a, and the vertical axis is an axis 305b representing a value related to biological information such as a potential (electrocardiogram). In such a first specific region 301, in FIG. 4A, the electrocardiogram waveform 302 and the pulse wave 303 are arranged in two rows so as to extend in the direction of the time axis 305a.

  In addition, in the second specific area 306 of the biological information page screen 300, individual display areas 307a to 307e in which biological information is individually shown for each type are provided. Various types of biological information are arranged in the individual display areas 307a to 307e. In the individual display area 307a, biological information regarding the heart rate (HR) is arranged. In the individual display area 307b, biological information regarding the percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2) is arranged. In the individual display area 307c, biological information related to non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP) is arranged. In the individual display area 307d, biological information regarding respiration (RESP) is arranged. In the individual display area 307e, biological information related to body temperature (TEMP) is arranged.

  Note that the number of individual display areas provided in the second specific area 306 in the biological information page screen 300 is five as shown in FIG. 4A, but is not limited to this. It may be a number. In addition, biological information arranged in the individual display area is limited to heart rate (HR), percutaneous arterial oxygen saturation (SpO2), non-invasive blood pressure (NIBP), respiration (RESP), and body temperature (TEMP). It may be other biological information.

  The biometric information arranged in the individual display areas 307a to 307e represents, for example, the latest measurement value (unit), the latest measurement date and time, the upper limit threshold value, the lower limit threshold value of the biometric information, the biometric information waveform, and the degree of soundness of the biometric information. Examples include bar graph display. The biometric information arranged in the individual display areas 307a to 307e may be all of the above, or an appropriate one may be selected from the above for each of the biometric information corresponding to the individual display areas 307a to 307e. .

  The biological information page screen 300 is preferably a top screen that is first displayed on the touch panel display 11 when the biological information monitor 1 is activated. That is, when the biological information monitor 1 is activated, biological information measured in real time such as an electrocardiogram waveform and a pulse wave is displayed as a biological information waveform in the first specific area 301, and the individual display areas 307a to 307e of the second specific area. For example, it is preferable that the biological information page screen 300 in which biological information such as digitized biological information and second biological information waveform is arranged is displayed as the top screen.

  In order to move from the biological information page screen 300 described above to another page screen, various menu buttons 1 to 8 are arranged at the bottom of the biological information page screen 300 as shown in FIG. Also good. A page screen corresponding to each of the menu buttons 1 to 8 is assigned. When a touch operation is performed on the menu button 1 to the menu button 8, different page screens assigned to the respective buttons are displayed on the touch panel display 11.

  Here, for example, as shown in FIG. 4A, a touch operation (for example, a one-tap operation, a double-tap operation, etc.) is performed on the display surface of the menu button 4 on the touch panel display 11 with a finger, A search screen (not shown) relating to past information appears as a pop-up window. Then, as shown in FIG. 4B, information related to past biometric information as a search result is called into the biometric information page screen 300. As shown in FIG. 4B, “2016: 04: 01 12:54:30” is displayed in the date and time portion 304b of the called biometric information. Therefore, the date and time of the called biometric information is April 1, 2016, 12:54:30. Further, as shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, “2016: 04: 06 12:34:56” is displayed in the current date and time portion 304a. Therefore, the current date and time is 12:34:56 on April 6, 2016.

  When information related to past biometric information as a search result is called in the biometric information page screen 300, for example, when a touch operation is performed with the finger on the display surface of the menu button 5 in the touch panel display 11, FIG. The biometric information page screen 300 on which the called past biometric information is arranged is generated as print data, and the print data display screen is displayed on the touch panel display 11. The print data display screen will be described later.

<4. Another aspect of print data>
Next, another aspect of the print data will be described with reference to FIG. What is generated as print data is not limited to the entire biometric information page screen 300 on which past biometric information called as shown in FIG. 4B is arranged. For example, as shown in FIG. 5A, only the biological information waveform (electrocardiogram waveform 302 and pulse wave 303) in the first specific region 301 may be generated as the print data. Of course, only waveform data of other biological information displayed in the individual display areas 307a to 307e may be generated as print data. When the biological information waveform in the first specific region 301 is generated as print data, it is preferable that the ruled line 308 as the background of the biological information waveform is also generated as print data together with the biological information waveform.

  In addition, the biological information monitor 1 can perform antialiasing processing on the biological information waveform displayed on the touch panel display 11. For this reason, the biometric information waveform subjected to the anti-aliasing process may be generated as print data, or the anti-aliasing process may be further performed on the biometric information waveform converted into the print data.

  The print data is generated in various parts such as only the second specific area 306, only the specific area in the first specific area 301, and all or only part of the individual display areas 307a to 307e. Also good. In addition, if the biometric information monitor 1 is configured such that an area in the biometric information page screen 300 generated as print data can be selected, only the necessary portion can be generated as print data.

  In addition, the biological information monitor 1 can increase the resolution of the biological information waveform displayed on the print data. When the resolution of the biological information waveform displayed in the print data is increased, the display area can be reduced if the information amount is the same. For example, when the resolution is increased, the biological information waveform when the biological information waveform or the print data displayed on the printed paper is displayed on the touch panel display 11 is as shown in FIGS. 4B and 5A. From the two-line display, the vertical axis of the graph can be doubled by changing to a single-line display as shown in FIG. If the two-line display is maintained, it is possible to display twice the amount of information. Thus, the amount of biometric information that can be included in the biometric information page screen 300 increases, and as a result, the amount of biometric information that can be included in the print data can also be increased.

<5. Print data display screen>
Next, the print data display screen 400 on the touch panel display 11 will be described with reference to FIG. The print data display screen 400 is a page screen that displays what is generated as print data on the touch panel display 11. <3. As described in the section “Biological information page screen>, the print data display screen 400 is called by performing a predetermined operation.

  On the print data display screen 400, various types of information including print data and operation buttons are arranged as shown in FIG. Print data is arranged in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400, various operation buttons are arranged in the fourth specific area 402 of the print data display screen 400, and the fifth specific area 403 of the print data display screen 400 is displayed. A real-time electrocardiogram waveform 404 and a heart rate 405 are arranged. This is because monitoring is continued even during printing work.

  The print data arranged in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400 is obtained by using the past biological information page screen 300 shown in FIG. 4B as print data. Further, as described above, the print data is also general-purpose display data that can be displayed on a display independent of the platform of a specific apparatus. Accordingly, the display content in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400 is printed as it is (not shown) in a printing apparatus.

  If the range of the biometric information page screen 300 generated as print data is different, the display in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400 shown in FIG. 5 changes.

  Various operation buttons arranged in the fourth specific area 402 of the print data display screen 400 include various buttons such as a Print button 410, an E-mail button 411, a Full Disclosure button 413, an Exit button 414, and a Back button 415, for example.

  When the Print button 410 is selected, the biological information monitor 1 recognizes that a print request has been received from the outside. As a result, the biological information monitor 1 instructs a printing apparatus (not shown) to print the print data. Upon receiving the instruction (not shown), the printing apparatus prints the print data.

  When the E-mail button 411 is selected, the biological information monitor 1 recognizes that an operation corresponding to the print data transfer request has been received from the outside. As a result, the data transfer unit 205 in the biological information monitor 1 transfers the print data.

  When the Full Disclosure button 413 is selected, only the print data is enlarged and displayed on the entire touch panel display 11. At this time, the print data may be enlarged and displayed on the print data display screen 400, or may be enlarged and displayed on a page screen different from the print data display screen 400.

  When the Exit button 414 is selected, the print data display screen 400 is closed and the screen returns to the biometric information page screen 300 at the current time as shown in FIG. 4A, for example. When the Back button 415 is selected, for example, the print data display screen 400 is closed and, for example, the biometric information page screen displayed immediately before the print data display screen 400 as shown in FIG. 300 is displayed on the touch panel display 11.

  In FIG. 6, an electrocardiogram waveform 404 and a heart rate 405 are arranged in the fifth specific area 403 of the print data display screen 400, but the present invention is not limited to this, and other biological information may be arranged. This is because the information to be monitored differs depending on the patient.

<6. Print data transfer>
Next, the print data transfer operation will be described with reference to FIG. When the E-mail button 411 shown in FIG. 6 is selected, the data transfer input form 500 appears in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400. The data transfer input form 500 includes a destination input area 501, a CC (Carbon Copy) input area 502, a subject input area 503, an attached file display area 504, and a message input area 505. Furthermore, a BCC (Blind Carbon Copy) input area may be added.

  For example, an E-mail address is input to the destination input area 501 and the CC input area 502. The attached file display area 504 displays the file name and file icon of the print data to be transferred. For example, the file name and file icon are displayed in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400 immediately before the E-mail button 411 is selected. Print data is displayed. Furthermore, when adding an attached file, for example, print data held in the biological information monitor may be selected and added from a selection page screen (not shown) or the like. In the subject input area 503 and the message input area 505, a document is input.

  Input of characters, numbers, and the like to each of the above areas can be input from either a keyboard as an external input device or a software keyboard in the biological information monitor 1. The selection can be realized by an operation with a mouse as an external input device or a touch operation on the touch panel display 11. It is preferable that a destination list is registered in advance, and a destination is automatically set in the destination input area 501 by selecting from the list.

  If the send button 510 is selected after the above input to each area is completed, the print data is transferred.

<7. Print data enlarged display>
Next, the print data enlargement display operation will be described with reference to FIG. When the Full Disclosure button 413 shown in FIG. 6 is selected, as shown in FIG. 8, the print data arranged in the third specific area 401 of the print data display screen 400 of FIG. The enlarged page screen 600 is enlarged and displayed. Thereby, it is possible to check in advance a small portion of the print data on a large screen before printing.

  Furthermore, when returning to the print data display screen 400 shown in FIG. 6, the Back button 601 provided at the lower end of the enlarged page screen 600 may be selected.

  In the above-described embodiment, the case where the waveform data in the print data has about two stages is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, it is preferable to generate print data including waveforms in a large number of stages in a vertical size of A4 size. In this case, the left-side four-stage waveform data and the right-side four-stage waveform data in the enlarged page screen 600 shown in FIG. Is assumed to be configured. Further, as the data amount changes, the number of display stages is automatically changed, and it is preferable that the ruled line as the background is also automatically changed.

  The present invention includes a biological information display control device that controls display related to biological information to be displayed on the display of a biological information display device such as the biological information monitor 1 described above. That is, the biological information display control device is connected to a display and controls the display on the display.
