By default, the display setting information 45 of the present embodiment is set so that the list screen is arranged from the upper left to the right in the order of admission of the in-bed person. Note that this arrangement can be changed as appropriate.

Next, the operation of displaying a list screen of the status of each person in bed and detailed information will be described.

FIG. 5 is a diagram showing an example of a list screen displaying the states of each person in bed at the same time, and FIG. 6 is a diagram showing an object O showing the states of a plurality of persons in bed. The list screen shown in FIG. 5 is a multi-bed screen composed of a plurality of in-bed persons.

The example of FIG. 5 is an example in which the display control unit 29 displays objects O of a total of 15 persons in bed on a list screen of 3 rows and 5 columns. The display control unit 29 displays the current state of the person in bed for each object O in the background color of the object O. FIG.

As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the display control unit 29 displays, as an object O, state information 41 and biological information 42 along with user information 43 of the room of the person in bed and the name of the person in bed. Furthermore, in the object O, a current image (video) of the person in bed is also displayed. The operator operates the multi-floor screen object O displayed on the screen.

As shown in FIG. 6, the object O is bed person information in which a plurality of information elements (such as information corresponding to various vital sensors 19) indicating the current state of the bed person are grouped together. As shown in FIG. 6, the object O is configured in units of persons in bed each having an outer frame O1, a depressible area O2, and a depressible area O3.

A room number and a person's name are displayed in the non-pressable area O3 of the object O. FIG. As for the room number, the number of the hospital room is displayed. The name of the person in bed displays the name of the person in bed.

In the pressable area O2 of the object O, a call button B1, an image button B2, and a person-in-bed information button B3 are displayed.

The call button B1 is a button for calling a nurse or the like when pressed. When the call button B1 is pressed, a transition is made to a pop-up display in which another screen is superimposed.

The image button B2 is a button for displaying a past image captured by the imaging device 200 in response to being pressed.

The person in bed information button B3 is a button for displaying the vital data of the person in bed. In addition, when the person in bed information button B3 is pressed, a transition is made to another screen displaying the details of the vital data of the person in bed.

As shown in FIG. 6, the object O includes a depressible area O2, which is a depressible element, and a depressible area O3, which is a non-pressible element. Here, FIG. 7 is a diagram showing the difference between the depressible area O2 and the depressible area O3. As shown in FIG. 7, the depressible area O2 and the depressible area O3 are visually different. For example, the depressible area O2 is given a character (text) or a shadow to indicate that it is a button. The non-depressible area O3 may be an area represented only by a color without an outline. Also, the non-pressable area O3 may be shaped like a button without characters or shadows. By making the depressible area O2 and the depressible area O3 different in appearance in this way, the depressible area O2 and the depressible area O3 can be distinguished by design (color and shape), and can be easily distinguished within the object O. can do.

By the way, according to the conventional multi-floor screen display, between devices with different screen sizes, such as small-screen communication terminals such as smartphones and large-screen terminals such as PCs, it is possible to display within an object that is information about persons in bed. The elements and layout of the multiple pieces of information that are displayed are not standardized, and the sorting settings when arranging multiple objects are not standardized.

Therefore, when the device changes, the elements of multiple information displayed in the object and the arrangement of multiple pieces of information will be different. .

Therefore, in the present embodiment, even if the sizes of the display units of the display devices 5 connected via the network N are different, the arrangement of each piece of information is maintained. For example, the display control unit 29 controls the size of the display unit when the display unit 5 is a communication terminal with a small screen such as a smartphone, while maintaining the layout of each piece of information. Arrange the information so that it corresponds to the terminal on the screen.

Specifically, the display control unit 29 acquires the size information of the display unit of each terminal that can be the display device 5 . The display control unit 29 controls, for example, the size information of the display unit of a communication terminal with a small screen such as a smartphone (for example, 12 cm in height × 5 cm in width), the size information of the display unit of a terminal with a large screen such as a PC (for example, 10 inches ).

Next, the display control unit 29 sets the size of the rectangular object O to the smallest size among the sizes of the display unit of each terminal that can be the display device 5 (for example, as the size information of the display unit of the smartphone, for example, vertical 12 cm wide by 5 cm wide) (for example, 4 cm long by 5 cm wide). That is, in the present embodiment, in order to unify the arrangement of a plurality of information elements and a plurality of information displayed in the object O between all devices, the object O is not reduced and displayed, but the display device 5, the size of the object O is determined according to the smallest possible size of the display unit of the terminal. In this embodiment, the "appropriate size" is based on the horizontal size.

Next, the display control unit 29 arranges a depressible area O3 on a predetermined corner side of the rectangular object O, and disposes a depressible area O2 in an area of the object O other than the depressible area O3. to determine

Next, the display control unit 29 provides (shares) the size of the object O and the determined arrangement information to the display device 5 .

FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a list display example when the terminals that can be the display device 5 are different, and FIG. 9 is a diagram showing the object O when the terminals that can be the display device 5 are different. Although the layout of the conventional multi-floor screen changes for each device, according to the present embodiment, the size of the object O on the list screen, which is the multi-floor screen, and the size of the object O displayed within the object O, as shown in FIGS. The elements and arrangement of the multiple pieces of information in the

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the size of the display unit differs between terminals that can serve as the display device 5, it is possible to display the size of the object O and the elements and arrangement of a plurality of information displayed in the object O. is.

Next, display of a list screen on terminals having different sizes of the display units of the display device 5 will be described in detail.

FIG. 10 is a diagram showing a display form example of a list screen in terminals having display units of different sizes. FIG. 10(a) is a diagram showing a display form example of a list screen on the display device 5 having a 'large' display unit size. FIG. 10(b) is a diagram showing an example of the display form of the list screen on the display device 5 whose display unit size is 'medium'. FIG. 10(c) is a diagram showing an example of a display form of a list screen on the display device 5 having a 'small' display unit size. As shown in FIG. 10, the display control unit 29 does not change the outer shape of the object O even if the size of the display unit differs between the terminals that can be the display device 5 and the arrangement of the object O is changed.

Next, the arrangement of the objects O in terminals having different sizes of display units of the display device 5 will be described.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an arrangement example of objects O in terminals having display units of different sizes. As shown in FIG. 11( a ), in the display device 5 having a 'small' display unit size, the display control unit 29 displays the objects O in one vertical column. In addition, as shown in FIG. 11(b), in the display device 5 whose size of the display unit is 'medium', the display control unit 29 displays the objects O in two or more vertical columns. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 11(c), in the display device 5 having a 'large' size of the display section, the display control section 29 displays all the objects O in one horizontal page.

FIG. 12 is a diagram showing an arrangement example of objects O in terminals having display units of different sizes. As shown in FIG. 12( a ), in the display device 5 having a 'small' display unit size, the display control unit 29 displays the object O in one horizontal row. Further, as shown in FIG. 12(b), the display control unit 29 displays the object O in two or more horizontal rows on the display device 5 having the size of the display unit of 'medium'. Further, as shown in FIG. 12(c), the display control unit 29 displays all the objects O in one vertical page on the display device 5 having a 'large' display unit size.

Next, an operation example of the object O will be described. The display control unit 29 can scroll-display the object O by providing a scroll bar outside the object O, for example, as shown in FIG. 10B. In addition, the display control unit 29 may display the object O by scrolling the object O only by sending it downward. By doing so, the operation can be simplified.

As shown in FIG. 8, the display control unit 29 may also display a pressed element B4 that is not scrolled, although it is superimposed on the object O. FIG. That is, the display control unit 29 has a layer structure of the pressed element B4 that floats and does not move with respect to the object O. FIG. By doing so, even if the number of elements increases, it is possible to easily distinguish them.

Next, the flow of the display operation in the biological information monitoring system 1 including the operation of the object O will be described.

FIG. 13 is a flow chart showing the flow of the display operation in the biological information monitoring system 1. As shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 13, the CPU 11 of the arithmetic unit 4 executes each process in order from step S1 based on the display control program stored in the HDD .

In step S1, the acquisition unit 25 shown in FIG. 42 is obtained.

In step S2, the storage control unit 27 controls storage of the state information 41 acquired by the acquisition unit 25 and the biometric information 42 acquired by the biometric information acquisition unit 26 in a storage unit such as the HDD 14 or the like.

In step S<b>3 , the determination unit 30 determines the current state of each person in bed, such as the position and posture of each person in bed on the bed 1000 , based on the state information 41 .

For example, regarding the possibility of the person in bed falling off the bed 1000, the discrimination unit 30 determines, for example, the state of the person in bed as “normal” indicating that the person is unlikely to fall off the bed 1000, “caution” indicating the possibility of falling off the bed 1000, The judgment is made in three stages of "warning" that there is a high possibility of falling off the bed 1000. - 特許庁

The display control unit 29 generates a list screen based on the current state of each in-bed person determined by the determination unit 30 . The display control unit 29 controls the display of the generated list screen (see FIG. 5, for example) on the display unit of the display device 5 . As shown in FIG. 5, the display control unit 29 displays the state of each person in bed as an object O. FIG.

When the list screen showing the current status of each in-bed person is displayed, the process proceeds to step S4. The acquisition unit 25 acquires the state information 41 from the sensor 2 and the biological information 42 from the vital sensor 19 of each person in bed at regular intervals or at random. In step S4, the acquiring unit 25 determines whether or not new state information 41 has been acquired. If new state information 41 is not acquired (No in step S4), the process returns to step S1 to acquire new state information 41 (and new biometric information 42).

On the other hand, if new state information 41 is acquired (Yes in step S4), the process proceeds to step S5. In step S5, the storage control unit 27 controls storage of the acquired new state information 41 and biological information 42 in the storage unit. At this time, the storage control unit 27 controls storage in the storage unit as new state information 41 and biological information 42 following the past state information 41 and biological information 42 .

It should be noted that the past state information 41 and the biological information 42 and the new state information 41 and the biological information 42 do not need to be physically consecutive in storage position on the storage unit. , and the new state information 41 and the biometric information 42 following it can be stored so as to be discriminable.

Further, each storage unit may store the "current state information 41 and biological information 42" and the immediately previous "current state information 41 and biological information 42". That is, although a predetermined plurality of pieces of past information may be stored in the storage unit, it is only necessary to store at least one previous piece of information. In the case of storing only the previous information, when new information is acquired, the new information may overwrite the information that has been stored as the previous information until then. As a result, the storage unit always stores two pieces of new information and previous information for each person in bed. It is possible to prevent the inconvenience of being used for

When the new and old state information 41 (and the biological information 42) are stored in the storage unit in this way, in step S5, the comparison unit 28 compares the old and new state information 41 to detect a change in the state of the person in bed. do. In step S6, the comparison unit 28 compares the new and old state information 41 to determine whether or not there is a change in the state of the person in bed. If the state of the person in bed has changed (Yes in step S6), the process proceeds to step S7, and if the state of the person in bed has not changed (No in step S6), the display update processing described below , the process proceeds to step S8.

In step S7, the display control unit 29 changes and controls the display form of the object O of the person in bed whose state has changed. Specifically, for example, when a bed occupant who has been in the center of the bed 1000 without body movement changes to be in the left end of the bed 1000 with no body movement, the state of the bed occupant is " Since the status changes from "normal" to "caution", the display control unit 29 changes the background of the object O from white to yellow. As a result, staff members such as nurses can carefully watch the condition of the person in bed while referring to the current image (video) of the person in bed.

Furthermore, when the body movement of the person in bed who is being watched with caution because he is positioned at the left end of the bed 1000 is detected, there is a danger of falling off the bed 1000 and a "warning" is required. The control unit 29 changes the background of the object O from yellow to red. Accordingly, staff such as nurses go to the room of the person in bed and take measures to prevent the person from falling off the bed, such as returning the sleeping position from the left end of the bed 1000 to the center.

In this embodiment, the background color of the object O is changed, but the present invention is not limited to this. may be changed. Here, FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an example of changing the display mode of the buttons. As shown in FIG. 14, when there is an abnormality in the vital data, which is the biological information 42 from the vital sensor 19, the display control unit 29 displays "vital abnormality" on the call button B1. Change the background of the call button B1 to red. Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the display control unit 29, when there is an abnormality in the state information 41 indicating the current state of the person in bed from the sensor 2 and the imaging device 200 (for example, leaving the bed), the display control unit 29 presses the call button. The display of B1 is displayed as "getting out of bed", and the background of the call button B1 is changed to red.

Further, in the present embodiment, the display mode (background color) of the object O is changed with the signal from the comparison unit 28 as a trigger, but the present invention is not limited to this. As a trigger, the display mode of the button (color, illustration, shadow, etc.) may be changed.

By changing the display mode (expression such as color, illustration, shadow, etc.) of the button of the object O by pressing the button or using a signal in this manner, the visibility of the warning display or the like can be improved.

In addition, the display control unit 29 displays a detailed image when a detailed display operation is performed by pressing the call button B1 of the object O of the person in bed whose state has changed (Yes in step S8). The screen transitions to a pop-up display (step S9). Here, FIG. 15 is a diagram showing an example of a pop-up display displaying detailed images. As shown in FIG. 15, the display control unit 29 superimposes, for example, detailed information on the person in bed as a separate screen.

Further, for example, when the in-bed person information button B3 of the in-bed person object O whose state has changed is pressed and a corresponding operation is performed (Yes in step S10), the display control unit 29 transitions to another screen. (Step S11). Here, FIG. 16 is a diagram showing an example of another screen displaying a list image of vital data of persons in bed. As shown in FIG. 16, the display control unit 29 transitions to another screen displaying, for example, a list image of the vital data of the person in bed.

If the display control unit 29 has not timed out (No in step S12), the display control unit 29 continues the pop-up display or the display of another screen. When the display control unit 29 has timed out (Yes in step S12), the display control unit 29 terminates the pop-up display or the display of another screen.

As described above, other operations can be performed by enabling overlapping display of another screen and transition to another screen by pressing a button.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, even if the sizes of the display units of the display devices 5 connected via the network N are different, the elements of the plurality of information displayed in the object and the arrangement of the plurality of information are displayed. never changes. In addition, since the object is generated according to the smallest size of the display unit of the display device 5 connected via the network N, it is not difficult to press the button when there is a button display in the object. . As a result, by unifying the apparent display size and button arrangement of objects, it is possible to improve visibility and operability even between terminals having different display unit sizes.

If the number of objects O is smaller than the number that can be displayed on the display unit of the display device 5, the display control unit 29 may enlarge the outer shape of the object O. FIG. 17A and 17B are diagrams showing modifications of the outline of the object O. FIG. As shown in FIG. 17, even if the size of the display unit of the display device 5 is different, the object O is unified between different devices, and there is an effect that the operability is improved without hesitation.

Moreover, when the element of the object O is changed on one display device 5 , the display control unit 29 also reflects the display of the object O on the other display devices 5 . For example, the display control unit 29 may receive a change in the arrangement of the depressible area O2 and the depressible area O3, which are elements of the object O, and reflect it in another device. Here, FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of a procedure for changing the layout of the elements of the object O, and FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of changing the layout of the elements of the object O. In FIG. The example shown in FIG. 18 shows how to change the arrangement of buttons, change the size of buttons, and change the buttons by selecting "arrange buttons" from the menu. In the example shown in FIG. 19, the positions of the person-in-bed information button B3 and the call button B1 are switched. Furthermore, the display control unit 29 enables addition of buttons and deletion of buttons.
