(Numerical value setting process)
In the drug-solution administration system 1 according to the present embodiment, the smartphone 10 receives input of setting values such as the flow rate or dosage of the syringe pump 20, and the smartphone 10 transmits the setting values to the syringe pump 20. Set the setting value to 4A to 4D are diagrams showing an example of images 40 (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d) displayed on the output unit 15 of the smartphone 10 in FIG. 2 when receiving input of setting values.

An image 40 (40a, 40b, 40c, 40d) displayed on the smartphone 10 includes a display area 41 (41a, 41b, 41c, 41d) and a numerical selection area . The display area 41 (41a, 41b, 41c, 41d) is an area capable of displaying numerical values of a plurality of digits. 4A to 4D show an example of the display area 41 (41a, 41b, 41c, 41d) capable of displaying a total of 6 digits, 5 digits above the decimal point and 1 digit below the decimal point. A numerical value selection area 42 is an area in which the user can select a desired numerical value from a plurality of numerical values. FIGS. 4A to 4D show an example of a numerical value selection area 42 in the form of a numeric keypad in which any numerical value can be selected from 10 kinds of numerical values "0" to "9". An example of inputting and displaying setting values in decimal format via the display areas 41 (41a, 41b, 41c, 41d) and the numeric selection area 42 will be described below. The format of the numbers, etc., may be in other formats, such as, for example, octal or hexadecimal. An example in which the user selects a numerical value by operating the numerical value selection area 42 displayed on the output unit 15 will be described below. may accept a selection of values from .

An image 40a in FIG. 4A shows an image displayed on the initial screen when inputting setting values. In the example of FIG. 4A, 0 is displayed as an initial value for each digit in the display area 41a, but instead of this, the smartphone 10 replaces the uninput digit with a blank or a specific symbol (for example, an asterisk (* )), etc.

By displaying an image as shown in FIG. 4A, the smartphone 10 accepts the user's selection of the most significant digit in the display area 41a. For example, the smartphone 10 accepts selection of the highest digit by a touch operation on any digit in the display area 41 a displayed on the output unit 15 . When the user selects the highest digit, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display a cursor on the highest digit in the display area 41a. FIG. 4B shows an example in which a cursor 43b is displayed in response to the thousands place digit being selected in the display area 41a. A cursor 43b is a display indicating a digit to which a numerical value can be entered by selecting a numerical value in the numerical value selection area 42. FIG. 4B-4D show an example of displaying cursor 43 (43b, 43c) by highlighting the edge of the display area of the digits that can be entered in display area 41 (41b, 41c, 41d). The display of the cursor 43 is not limited to this as long as the digits that can be entered can be identified. For example, the smartphone 10 may display a cursor 43 in the display area 41 by displaying inputtable digits in a different background color from other digits, blinking symbols in inputtable digits, or the like.

When the user selects a numerical value via the numerical value selection area 42, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display the selected numerical value in the digit where the cursor 43 is displayed, and move the cursor 43 to 1. Move the digit to the lower digit and display it. For example, in the state shown in FIG. 4B, when the user selects the numerical value "1" via the numerical value selection area 42, the smartphone 10 displays "1" in the thousands place of the display area 41 and displays the cursor. Move 43 from the thousands place to the hundreds place. Subsequently, for example, when the user selects the numerical value "2" via the numerical value selection area 42, the smartphone 10 displays "2" in the hundreds place of the display area 41 and moves the cursor 43 to the hundreds place. to the tens place. Subsequently, for example, when the user selects the numerical value "3" via the numerical value selection area 42, the smartphone 10 displays "3" in the tens place of the display area 41 and moves the cursor 43 to the tens place. to the ones place. FIG. 4C shows the state after the user has thus successively selected the numbers "1", "2", and "3".

When the user continuously selects numerical values in this manner, the smartphone 10 sequentially displays the selected numerical values from the most significant digit to the lowest digit. When the cursor 43 is displayed at the lowest digit of the display area 41, the smart phone 10 selects the digit where the cursor 43 is displayed in the output unit 15 when the user further selects a numerical value. Numerical values are displayed and the display of the cursor 43 is erased. In FIG. 4D, the user continuously selects numbers "4" and "5" from the state of FIG. ) is input and the cursor 43 is erased.

When the user inputs a setting value, the smartphone 10 stores the input setting value in the storage unit 12 . The smartphone 10 transmits the setting values held in the storage unit 12 to the syringe pump 20 according to the user's instruction.

In this way, the smartphone 10 accepts the selection of the highest digit in the display area 41 from the user, and in response to the user selecting a numerical value, the area of the digits below the highest digit in the display area 41 is selected. The numerical values obtained are displayed on the output unit 15 in order. Therefore, since the smartphone 10 prohibits the user from erroneously entering a numerical value exceeding the most significant digit, it is possible to prevent erroneous operations by the user. In addition, since the smartphone 10 accepts input of numerical values via a numeric selection area 42 that allows selection of a desired numeric value from among a plurality of numeric values such as a numeric keypad, the user can easily It is possible to enter a setting value. When a touch panel accepts numeric input as in the smartphone 10 , compared to physical buttons, the user can distinguish the target being operated (for example, a button, etc.) by tactile sensation, or perform multiple input operations in succession. It is difficult to move and go. In addition, due to the limitation of the size of the output unit 15, it may be difficult to display an interface for performing a dedicated up-down operation for each digit of the display area 41. FIG. The smartphone 10 according to the present embodiment accepts the input of a numerical value via a numerical selection area 42, such as a numeric keypad, in which a desired numerical value can be selected from a plurality of numerical values. However, it enables the user to easily perform the input operation of the setting value.

Note that FIGS. 4A to 4D show an example in which the user inputs a numerical value up to the least significant digit. For 10, the setting value may be set by setting the numerical value of the uninputted digit to, for example, "0". For example, as shown in FIG. 4C, when the user instructs to end the input in a state in which numerical values "1", "2", and "3" are input from the thousands place, the smartphone 10 outputs "1230.0". may be set as the setting value. The smartphone 10 may receive an input end instruction by selecting a "return" button in FIG. 5B, which will be referred to later, for example.

A specific example of the operation for setting the setting values for the syringe pump 20 using the input interface as described with reference to FIGS. 4A to 4D will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B. 5A and 5B are diagrams showing examples of images 50 (50a, 50b) displayed on the output unit 15 of the smartphone 10 of FIG. 5A and 5B are displayed by, for example, an application for drug solution administration that operates on the smartphone 10. FIG.

FIG. 5A shows an example of an image 50a showing administration details. In FIG. 5A, a display area 51 displays the names of drugs to be administered to the patient P, the names of pumps, and the like. The display area 52 displays the set value of the planned amount (administration amount) of the infusion solution. A display area 53 displays the set value of the flow rate of the infusion. The smartphone 10 may display, for example, the default value of the setting value or the value set at the time of the previous operation in the display area 52 and the display area 53 included in the initial screen of the image 50a indicating the administration content. A display area 54 displays the remaining time of infusion administration. The display area 55 displays the personal information of the patient P, the contents of administration, comments from doctors and the like. A button 56 is a button for resetting the set values of the planned dose and the dose. A button 57 is a button for canceling the setting of the planned dose and the dose. A button 58 is a button for transmitting the set values displayed in the display areas 52 and 53 to the syringe pump 20 .

The user selects the display area 52 when changing the planned amount (administration amount) of the infusion displayed in the display area 52 . When changing the flow rate of the infusion displayed in the display area 53 , the user selects the display area 53 . When the user selects the display area 52 or the display area 53 , the smartphone 10 displays a screen for changing the setting values of the selected display area 52 or the display area 53 .

FIG. 5B shows an example of an image 50b displayed on the output unit 15 when the flow rate display area 53 of FIG. 5A is selected. In the image 50b, a display area 61 is an area in which the set value of the flow rate can be displayed. A numerical value selection area 62 is an area in which the user can select a desired numerical value from among numerical values "0" to "9" in order to change the set value of the flow rate. The smartphone 10 displays a preset setting value in the display area 61 and accepts selection of the highest digit from the user by a touch operation on any digit in the display area 61 . When the user selects the highest digit, the smartphone 10 displays a cursor on the selected highest digit. FIG. 5B shows how the smartphone 10 displays the set value of the flow rate in the display area 61, then the user selects the hundreds place and displays the cursor 63 at the hundreds place. Subsequently, when a numerical value is selected in the numerical value selection area 62, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display the selected numerical value in the digit where the cursor 63 is displayed, and move the cursor 63 to only one digit. Move to the lower digit and display it. The smartphone 10 repeats such operations until a numeric value is entered in the least significant digit. Note that the smartphone 10 may accept a selection from the user as a digit other than the maximum digit of the setting value set in advance as the most significant digit. For example, when 172.5 mL/h is set in advance as the flow rate setting value, the smartphone 10 may allow the user to select a digit other than the hundreds place as the most significant digit. When the user selects “return” after changing the setting values, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display a screen as shown in FIG. 5A with the updated setting values. Furthermore, when the user selects button 58 , smartphone 10 transmits the changed setting value to syringe pump 20 . A set value is set in the syringe pump 20 by such an operation.

In the medicinal solution administration system 1, an example of setting the setting values in the syringe pump 20 via the smartphone 10 has been described, but the medical device including the syringe pump 20 displays screens as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D on the display unit.

For example, the control unit 11 may determine that the end of input has been instructed when "return" is selected on the screen as shown in FIG. 5B. If the input end is instructed (YES in step S9), the control unit 11 proceeds to step S10, otherwise (NO in step S9), returns to step S4.

In step S<b>10 , the control unit 11 erases the display of the cursors 43 and 63 in the display areas 41 and 61 .

In step S<b>11 , the control unit 11 stores the input setting values displayed in the display areas 41 and 61 in the storage unit 12 . Then, the control unit 11 ends the processing of the flowchart.

As described above, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display the display areas 41 and 61 capable of displaying numerical values of a plurality of digits, and receives selection of the highest digit in the display areas 41 and 61 from the user. When the most significant digit is selected in the display areas 41 and 61, the smartphone 10 selects the digits below the most significant digit in the display areas 41 and 61 in response to the user selecting a numerical value via the numerical value selection unit. The numerical values selected in the area are displayed on the output unit 15 in order. The smartphone 10 causes the storage unit 12 to hold the numerical values displayed in the areas below the most significant digits of the display areas 41 and 61 as set values. In this way, the smartphone 10 accepts the selection of the highest digit from the user, and sequentially displays the selected numerical values in the areas of the digits below the highest digit according to the numerical value selection, and uses the numerical values as the set values. Hold. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the user from entering a numeric value with digits exceeding the most significant digit, thereby preventing an erroneous operation by the user. In addition, since the smartphone 10 accepts input of numerical values by a numerical value selection unit such as a numeric keypad that can select numerical values for each digit, instead of buttons for incrementing or decrementing numerical values little by little, jog dials, drums, or the like, the user can Numerical values can be input by easy operation. Therefore, it is possible to prevent erroneous operations more effectively without impairing the operability of the user in the operation of inputting the setting values.

In FIGS. 4A to 4D , an example in which the smartphone 10 displays numerical values in order from the most significant digit according to the selection of the numerical value after selecting the most significant digit has been described. It is not limited to things. For example, after selecting the most significant digit, the smartphone 10 may move up the numerical value from the least significant digit and display it according to the selection of the numerical value. For example, when the thousands place is selected as the most significant digit as shown in FIG. good. When the number "2" is subsequently selected, the smartphone 10 may move the display of "1" to the ones place and display "2" in the 0.1 place. When the numerical value "3" is subsequently selected, the smartphone 10 moves the display of "1" to the tens place, moves the display of "2" to the ones place, and moves the display of "2" to the 0.1 place. 3” may be displayed. When displaying in this manner, the smartphone 10 prohibits input of a numerical value exceeding the most significant digit, or prohibits setting by the set value if the digit of the input numerical value does not reach the most significant digit. By doing so, it is possible to prevent the setting of a numerical value having a different number of digits than the most significant digit due to an erroneous operation.

Further, the smartphone 10 may cause the output unit 15 to display the numerical value selection areas 42 and 62 from which a desired numerical value can be selected from a plurality of numerical values as the numerical value selection unit. By displaying the numerical value selection areas 42 and 62 as numerical value selection portions in this way, the user interface described with reference to FIGS. It is possible to

Further, the smartphone 10 accepts selection of a numerical value from the user via the numerical selection unit on condition that the highest digit is selected. In this manner, since selection of a numerical value through the numerical value selection section is prohibited until the highest digit is selected, it is possible to effectively prevent erroneous operations by the user.

Further, the smartphone 10 may accept selection of the highest digit from the user by a touch operation on one of the digits in the display areas 41 and 61 . In this way, since the smartphone 10 accepts selection of the highest digit by touch operation, the user can perform an operation of inputting setting values through an intuitive user interface.

Further, the smartphone 10 may cause the output unit 15 to display the cursors 43 and 63 on the highest digits of the display areas 41 and 61 in response to the user selecting the highest digit. Since the cursors 43 and 63 are displayed at the highest digit in this way, the user can easily confirm the selected highest digit.

Further, when the user selects a numerical value through the numerical value selection unit, the smartphone 10 causes the output unit 15 to display the selected numerical value in the digit where the cursors 43 and 63 are displayed, and 43 and 63 may be displayed by moving one digit to a lower digit. In this way, when a numerical value is selected through the numerical value selection unit, the smartphone 10 displays the selected numerical value at the position of the cursors 43 and 63, and moves the cursors 43 and 63 one digit lower. To move to the digits, the user can operate the numeric selector to enter numeric values starting with the most significant digit. Therefore, since the user can input the setting value with a simple operation similar to inputting the numerical value using a general calculator, the operation of inputting the setting value is more effective without impairing the operability of the user. It is possible to prevent erroneous operation.

Further, when the cursors 43 and 63 are displayed on the least significant digits of the display areas 41 and 61, the smartphone 10 displays the cursor on the output unit 15 when the user selects a numerical value through the numerical value selection unit. The selected numerical value may be displayed in the digit where 43 and 63 are displayed, and the display of the cursors 43 and 63 may be erased. In this way, the smartphone 10 can prevent the user from making an erroneous operation by erasing the cursors 43 and 63 and ending the numerical input when a numerical value is input to the least significant digit.

The smartphone 10 also transmits the setting values held in the storage unit 12 to medical devices such as the syringe pump 20 via the communication unit 13 . In this way, since the setting values input in the information processing device such as the smartphone 10 are transmitted to the medical device, even if it is difficult to provide a user interface to the medical device, the setting values can be changed by operating the information processing device. Input can be made, and erroneous operations can be prevented more effectively without impairing the operability of the user.
