Description

automatic analyzer

The present invention relates to an automatic analyzer.

In recent years, the data processing devices included in automatic analyzers have come to be equipped with a wide variety of functions such as automatic analyzer control, data collection and analysis, as well as report creation and data management. The menu is now displayed on the operation screen. Generally, operation menus are hierarchical, and the display order and arrangement are all fixed. Therefore, there is no problem if the user is aware of the screen display layout of the operation menus, but if the user is not aware of the layout of the displayed operation menus, a lot of time is wasted searching for the operation menu that they want to use. Resulting in.

Also, depending on the user's work, some operation menus are frequently used, while others are rarely used, and if a mixture of these operation menus is displayed, the There is a problem that the burden on the user increases.

As a means to solve these problems, Patent Document 1 discloses that the number of times the operation menu is used and the order of the number of times of use are stored in a storage means for each operator who operates the analyzer, and the number of times the operation menu is used the most A method has been proposed in which the operation menus are displayed on the display unit in order from the upper level operation menu.

International Publication No. 2012/070363

In this way, according to the disclosure of Patent Document 1, the display priority order of the operation menu can be changed according to the frequency of use of each user who handles the analysis device. However, in the technique disclosed in Patent Document 1, although the display priority of the operation menu can be changed depending on the frequency of use, the layout of the operation menu cannot be changed. Therefore, even if operation menus with high priorities are displayed in order, it may be difficult for some users to recognize them. Further, the user cannot customize the display by displaying items separately from a wide variety of operation menus.

An automatic analyzer that is an embodiment of the present invention is an automatic analyzer that includes one or more analysis modules for analyzing a sample, and has a data processing device that accepts operation instructions from a user. , it is possible to display on the display device an operation menu screen that displays operation menus for hierarchically defined automatic analyzers, and a shortcut screen that has multiple shortcut buttons for executing specific operations included in the operation menu. When a shortcut button for executing a predetermined operation is selected on the shortcut screen, the data processing device executes the predetermined operation included in the operation menu screen, and the arrangement of the shortcut buttons on the shortcut screen is Determined by the user.

The automatic analyzer can be operated from the shortcut screen, which has shortcut buttons for executing specific operations selected and laid out by the user, reducing operation time and improving the convenience of the automatic analyzer. can do.

Examples will be described below with reference to the drawings.

The basic configuration of the automatic analyzer will be outlined using FIG. 1. Note that the basic configuration described here is an example, and is not limited to this. The automatic analyzer 100 is a device that measures a reaction solution obtained by reacting a sample and a reagent, and mainly includes a sample transport mechanism 105, a reaction disk 112, a reagent disk 110, a sample dispensing mechanism 101, a reagent dispensing mechanism 107, and a stirring mechanism. It includes a mechanism 114, a measuring section (108, 109), a cleaning mechanism 106, a controller 102, a data processing device 103, and the like. Here, the sample is a patient's blood, urine, or the like.

Sample analysis processing by the automatic analyzer 100 is generally performed in the following order. First, the rack 104 is installed in a carry-in device or the like, and is carried to the sample collection position of the automatic analyzer 100 by the sample transport mechanism 105 according to instructions from the data processing device 103. When the rack 104 arrives at the sample sampling position, the sample is dispensed by the sample dispensing mechanism 101 into a reaction container 113 on a reaction disk 112. The sample dispensing mechanism 101 performs sample dispensing as many times as necessary depending on the analysis item requested for the sample. On the other hand, the reagent dispensing mechanism 107 dispenses a reagent to be used for analysis from a reagent bottle 111 on a reagent disk 110 to a reaction container 113 into which a sample was previously dispensed. Subsequently, the stirring mechanism 114 stirs the reaction solution prepared by mixing the sample and reagent in the reaction container 113. Thereafter, light generated from the light source 108 is transmitted through the reaction container 113 containing the stirred reaction solution, and the intensity of the transmitted light is measured by the spectrophotometer 109. The light intensity measured by the spectrophotometer 109 is transmitted to the controller 102. The controller 102 performs calculations to determine the concentration of a predetermined component in the sample, and displays the results on a display device or the like or stores them in the data processing device 103.

FIG. 2 shows a schematic diagram of the data processing device 103. A personal computer 201 is generally used as the data processing device 103. The personal computer 201 includes a CPU 202 that processes data, a RAM 203 that is a temporary data storage area, and a storage device 204 that is a data storage area, as well as a display 205 such as a liquid crystal monitor, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. An input device 206 is connected thereto. Integrated software is installed in the storage device 204. The integrated software is software for the user to operate the automatic analyzer, and displays a GUI (graphical user interface) on the display 205, allowing the user to operate the automatic analyzer using a mouse, keyboard, etc. One of its functions is to provide information.

First, the user starts up the integrated software stored in the storage device 204 via the input device 206. When the integrated software is started, a logon screen 300 shown in FIG. 3 is displayed on the display 205. The user operates the input device 206 to input the operator ID into the operator ID input box 301 and the password into the password input box 302. After that, when the logon button 303 is selected, an operation menu for the data processing apparatus 103 is displayed. Users are mainly system administrators, method developers, operators, etc. Note that the reason for requesting the password entry on the logon screen 300 is to strengthen security, and the password entry is not necessarily required. The operation menu screen after logon can also be made different for each operator ID.

FIG. 4 shows an example of the operation menu screen of the integrated software that is displayed after the user logs on. The operation menu screen 400 includes a main tab area 401, a subtab area 402, an operation menu area 403, and a selection button 404. The main tab area 401 and the sub-tab area 402 are toolbars in which operation menus are arranged. In the subtab area 402, subtabs corresponding to the main tab selected in the main tab area 401 are displayed. Further, in the operation menu area 403, an operation menu corresponding to the subtab selected in the subtab area 402 is displayed. The operation menu includes, for example, execution of maintenance and parameter settings for analysis conditions. In FIG. 4, "Utility" is selected in the main tab area 401, "Maintenance" is selected in the sub-tab area 402, and specific maintenance items are displayed in the operation menu area 403. For example, when the user executes reagent prime during maintenance, the user selects "maintenance" from the maintenance type, "reagent prime" from the maintenance name, and selects the selection button 404 in the operation menu area 403. This causes the screen to transition to the operation execution screen shown in FIG.

In addition to the toolbar displayed on the operation menu screen 400, the operation execution screen 500 displays an execution screen corresponding to the selected subtab. On the reagent prime operation execution screen 500, an execution module selection screen 501 is displayed. The user selects the module to be executed from the execution module selection screen 501 and selects the execution button 502. Here, the electrolyte analysis module (ISE) is selected, and a reagent prime operation is performed on the electrolyte analysis module. On the other hand, if the cancel button 503 is selected, the module selection is canceled and the screen transitions to the operation menu screen 400.

As described above, in order to operate an automatic analyzer, it is normal to follow a hierarchical menu, select an operation menu, and execute it. In contrast, in the automatic analyzer of this embodiment, a shortcut tab 405 is provided in the main tab area 401 of the operation menu screen 400 (see FIG. 4). In the automatic analyzer of this embodiment, the user can create shortcuts for frequently used operations and use the shortcuts from the shortcut screen transitioned from the shortcut tab 405. This shortcut screen can be customized for each user to further enhance user convenience.

First, we will explain how to register a shortcut. When the shortcut tab 405 is selected from the operation menu screen 400 (see FIG. 4), the screen changes to a shortcut screen. FIG. 6 shows an example of a shortcut screen 600. The user registers/cancels shortcuts and performs operations registered as shortcuts from the shortcut screen 600.

The shortcut screen 600 displays the toolbar that was displayed on the operation menu screen 400 and a group of shortcut buttons arranged in a matrix. The shortcut screen 600 includes

toolbars

401 and 402, coordinate information 602, a shortcut button 603, a shortcut registration button 604, and a registration cancellation button 605. Sheet tabs 601 are displayed in the subtab area 402, and by selecting one of the sheet tabs 601, the matrix of shortcut buttons 603 arranged based on coordinate information 602 can be switched. Note that none of the shortcut buttons 603 in FIG. 6 have any shortcuts registered, so nothing is displayed on the shortcut buttons. By selecting the shortcut registration button 604, a transition is made to the shortcut registration screen shown in FIG. 7A.

The shortcut registration screen 700 shown in FIG. 7A includes a registered shortcut display area 701, a first registration method selection button 702, a sheet name selection button 703, a coordinate information (X coordinate) selection button 704, a coordinate information (Y coordinate) selection button 705, A registration button 706 is provided. FIG. 7A shows the screen before detailed information is entered. The first registration method selection button 702 is a button for executing a registration method for selecting an operation to be registered as a shortcut from the operation menu. When the user selects the first registration method selection button 702, the shortcut shown in FIG. 8 is added. Transition to screen.

The shortcut addition screen 800 is a screen for selecting an operation menu, and displays the same operation menu as the operation menu screen 400. The user selects an operation to be registered as a shortcut from the main tab area 401, sub tab area 402, and operation menu area 403, and selects the add button 801. The integrated software stores in the storage device 204 an operation log in which the user selects an operation menu performed by the user on the shortcut addition screen 800. At the same time, as shown in FIG. 7B, the operation name ("Reagent Prime" in this example) selected on the shortcut addition screen 800 is displayed in the registered shortcut display area 701. After that, as shown in FIG. 7B, select the sheet to be registered from the sheet name selection button 703, the coordinate information (X coordinate) selection button 704, and the coordinate information (Y coordinate) selection button 705 from the pull-down menu to select the coordinates to be registered on the sheet. select. Finally, by selecting the registration button 706, the shortcut button is associated with the operation log stored in the storage device 204, and registration of the shortcut button is completed.

By selecting the registration button 706 in FIG. 7B, the reagent prime operation is registered in the shortcut button at the coordinates (A, 1) of sheet 1. This situation is shown in FIG. 9A. In the shortcut button (registered) 901 at the coordinates (A, 1) of sheet 1, an operation name indicating the registered content is displayed. By selecting the shortcut button (registered) 901, the user executes the process of the linked operation log and transitions to the execution screen shown in FIG. 5. That is, the series of operations described in FIG. 4, such as selecting an operation from the main tab area 401, sub-tab area 402, and operation menu area 403 and selecting the selection button 404, can be omitted. FIG. 9B shows the data structure of shortcut data 910 created by the above processing. Shortcut data 910 is stored in storage device 204. The operator ID of the user who created the shortcut is registered in the operator ID 911, and the sheet name selection button 703 and coordinate information (X The selected contents are registered in the coordinate information (Y coordinate) selection button 704, the coordinate information (Y coordinate) selection button 705, and the registration shortcut display area 701. A corresponding operation log may be registered in the operation log 916, or an address of the storage device 204 in which the operation log is stored may be registered.

Note that registration can be canceled by selecting the shortcut button (registered) 901 after selecting the registration cancellation button 605. In this case, the information on the shortcut is also deleted from the shortcut data 910.

FIG. 16 shows a flowchart for generating a shortcut button (registered) as described above. This flowchart is executed by integrated software. The operator ID input from the logon screen 300 (see FIG. 3) is determined (S01), and if the shortcut tab 405 is selected from the operation menu screen 400 (see FIG. 4), the shortcut screen 600 (see FIG. 6) is displayed. (S02). When the shortcut registration button 604 is selected, the screen changes to a shortcut registration screen 700 (see FIG. 7A) (S03). By selecting the first registration method selection button 702, a transition is made to the shortcut addition screen 800 (S04), and the operation to be registered is selected (S05). The operation log on the shortcut addition screen 800 is stored in the storage device 204 (S06), and the selected operation name is displayed in the registered shortcut display area 701 of the shortcut registration screen 700 (S07). Further, the user inputs the sheet name and coordinate information on the shortcut registration screen 700 (FIG. 7B) (S08 to S10). When the user selects the registration button 706, the display position of the shortcut button and the registered operation are determined (S11). In the shortcut screen 600, the registered operation name is displayed on the shortcut button (registered) (S12, see FIG. 9A).

In this way, by executing an operation from the shortcut button (registered) 901, it is possible to reduce the trouble of searching for an operation from the main tab area 401, subtab area 402, and operation menu area 403, and for users who are not accustomed to screen operations. For this purpose, the effect of time reduction can be obtained. Further, since the arrangement of the shortcut buttons can be specified based on the coordinate information 602, the shortcut buttons can be freely laid out. For example, the effect of improving visibility can be obtained by the user's efforts, such as arranging related buttons side by side. Further, as shown in the shortcut data 910 (see FIG. 9B), since shortcuts are created for each user, the shortcut screen can be displayed in a layout for each operator ID input on the logon screen.

The shortcut registration method is not limited to the above method. Other shortcut registration methods will be explained below.

FIG. 10 is another example of the shortcut registration screen. On the shortcut registration screen 700b, a second registration method selection button 1001 is provided on the shortcut registration screen shown in FIG. 7A. The user creates a registration list in which operation logs are registered in advance. By selecting the second registration method selection button 1001, the operations registered in the registration list are associated with the shortcut buttons. When the second registration method selection button 1001 is selected, the screen changes to a shortcut registration list screen 1100 shown in FIG. 11A. The shortcut registration list screen 1100 includes a registration list 1101 and a selection button 1102, and the registration list 1101 displays a list of operations added by the user for shortcut registration. The operation list is displayed based on operation log registration data 1110 created in advance by the user. FIG. 11B shows the data structure of the operation log registration data 1110. In the operator ID 1111, the operator ID of the user who created the operation log registration data, in the date and time 1112, the creation date and time, in the operation name 1113, the selected operation name, and in the operation log 1114, the corresponding operation log may be registered, The address of the storage device 204 in which the operation log is stored may be registered.

In order to add a new operation to the operation log registration data 1110, the operation log stored in the RAM 203 is used here when the user selects an operation menu on the operation menu screen 400. The situation is shown in FIG. When selecting an operation menu from the main tab area 401, subtab area 402, and operation menu area 403, the user performs a right-click operation with the mouse, which is the input device 206, on the operation menu. Select the registration addition button 1201 displayed by right-clicking. Through this operation, the operation log of the selected operation can be stored in the storage device 204, and the information can be added to the operation log registration data 1110. In this way, each time the user performs an operation from the operation menu screen 400, the user selectively adds an operation log to the operation log registration data 1110 for the operation for which shortcut registration is desired.

By selecting the added operation from the registration list 1101 of the shortcut registration list screen 1100 (see FIG. 11A) and selecting the selection button 1102, it is displayed in the registered shortcut display area 701 of the shortcut registration screen 700b (see FIG. 10). . Thereafter, by inputting the sheet name and coordinate information and selecting the registration button 706, registration of the shortcut button is completed.

With this registration method, by enabling shortcut registration based on operations on the normal operation menu screen, it is possible to further improve the operability of shortcut registration.

Furthermore, another shortcut registration method will be explained. In this example, the integrated software prompts the user to register a shortcut.

FIG. 13 is another example of the shortcut registration screen. The shortcut registration screen 700c is provided with a third registration method selection button 1301 on the shortcut registration screen shown in FIG. The integrated software automatically stores an operation log related to the user's operation menu selection on the operation menu screen 400 in the storage device 204, and creates operation log registration data. The data structure of the operation log registration data may be the same as the data structure shown in FIG. 11B. When the third registration method selection button 1301 is selected, the screen changes to a shortcut registration list screen 1400 shown in FIG. 14. The shortcut registration list screen 1400 includes an operation history list 1401, an operation date and time search 1402, a display number search 1403, a reflection button 1404, and a selection button 1405. The operation history list 1401 displays a list of user operation histories stored in the storage device 204 as operation log registration data. Thereafter, by selecting an operation to be registered as a shortcut from the operation history list 1401 and selecting a selection button 1405, the operation is displayed in the registered shortcut display area 701 of the shortcut registration screen 700c (see FIG. 13). Thereafter, by inputting the sheet name and coordinate information and selecting the registration button 706, registration of the shortcut button is completed.

Additionally, the operation history list 1401 of the shortcut registration list screen 1400 has a filter function. For example, by setting a filter on the operation name tab in FIG. 14, it is possible to display the information separately for each operation. This makes it possible to visualize which operations are used more frequently. Furthermore, an operation date and time search 1402 function is provided, and by inputting the start and end dates and times and selecting the reflect button 1404, the operation history of the specified time can be displayed. This makes it possible to extract and display operations that are frequently used by the user by time of day, making it possible to increase the number of shortcut options to be registered. Furthermore, by providing a display number search 1403 that allows the user to specify the number of display items, and using it in combination with the filter function of the operation history list 1401 and the operation date and time search 1402, the user's search performance can be further improved.

With this registration method, it is possible to select a shortcut to be registered from the user's operation history, thereby expanding the options for shortcut registration.

In the embodiments described above, the number of operations that can be registered to one shortcut button 603 is one. Automatic analyzers require maintenance, management of measurement results, registration of remaining amounts of reagents, calibration measurements, control measurements, etc. before starting measurements, and the integrated software requires a wide range of operations. Depending on the operation, there may be items where it is desired to operate the device continuously without stopping the device. Therefore, it would be convenient to be able to perform multiple operations in sequence with a single shortcut button.

FIG. 15 is an example of a shortcut registration screen that allows multiple operations to be performed continuously on one shortcut button. The shortcut registration screen 700d is provided with a registered shortcut list 1501 including the execution order and a cancel button 1502 on the shortcut registration screen shown in FIG. Operation names to be registered as shortcuts are added to the registered shortcut list 1501 using the first to third registration

method selection buttons

702, 1001, and 1301. After that, select the operation name added to the registered shortcut list 1501, and specify the execution order on the execution order tab (1 for the first, 2 for the second). Note that an operation added to the registered shortcut list 1501 can be canceled by selecting the name of the operation to be canceled and selecting the cancel button 1502. Thereafter, by inputting the sheet name and coordinate information and selecting the registration button 706, registration of the shortcut button that allows a series of operations to be executed continuously is completed.

This registration method can save users the trouble of performing multiple operations from the main tab area 401, subtab area 402, and operation menu area 403, or selecting multiple shortcut buttons (registered) 901, and improves user operability. can be improved.

Hereinafter, a modification example that improves user convenience will be described.

In the above embodiment, an example was explained in which a shortcut button is registered by changing the input screen. The input screen transition method is not limited to the above method. For example, by double-clicking the shortcut buttons (before registration) 603 arranged on the shortcut screen 600 (see FIG. 6) with a mouse, the transition may be made to the shortcut registration screen 700 (see FIG. 7A). . In this case, the coordinate information of the sheet tab 601 and the shortcut button (before registration) 603 is stored in the shortcut data 910 (see FIG. 9B), and the sheet name 703 and coordinate

information

704 and 705 on the shortcut registration screen 700 are automatically input. It is better to make it . This modification allows the user to visually directly select a location (coordinates) to be registered and to register the shortcut while reducing the time required to operate the shortcut registration screen 700.

Further, in FIG. 12, an example is shown in which, in order to add an operation log to the operation log registration data 1110, the user right-clicks the mouse and displays the add registration button 1201. This operation method may be replaced by a long press on the operation menu or by providing a button equivalent to the registration addition button 1201 on the operation menu itself. For example, the input device 206 is not limited to a mouse, and a touch panel of a monitor may be used. Since the input device 206 used differs depending on the device and the user who operates it, by providing an easy-to-operate method according to each device, it is possible to obtain the effect of further improving the operability.

Further, in the above embodiment, an example was shown in which the shortcut button is used to perform operations on the automatic analyzer such as maintenance. However, with automatic analyzers, there are cases where only the integrated software operation is required, such as managing measurement results, inputting request information for calibration and control, and registering sample measurement items, although the device itself is not operated. . Such operations can also be performed by opening the screen from the main tab area 401, sub tab area 402, and operation menu area 403, so shortcuts can be created in the same way. In this way, by allowing the shortcut button (registered) 901 to be registered not only for the function of executing device operations but also for the function of transitioning to a screen, it is possible to reduce the time required to open a screen from the operation menu. It is.

This also applies to the registration of multiple operations described using FIG. 15, and by registering shortcuts that combine device operations and screen transition operations, the effect of further improving user operability can be obtained. .

Further, in the example of FIG. 9A, an example is shown in which an operation name indicating the registered content is displayed on the shortcut button (registered) 901. Furthermore, on the shortcut screen 600, the color of the shortcut button (registered) 901 may be changeable. For example, the color scheme is changed depending on the frequency of use per month, per week, and per day. Thereby, visibility for the user can be improved.

Additionally, the names of the shortcut button (registered) 901 and sheet tab 601 may be changeable. Thereby, the shortcut selection screen can be customized, and the effect of improving the user's operability can be obtained.

The present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and includes various modifications. For example, the above-described embodiments and modifications are described in detail to make the present invention easier to understand, and the present invention is not necessarily limited to having all the configurations described. In addition, it is possible to replace a part of the configuration of one embodiment or modification with the configuration of another embodiment or modification, and the configuration of one embodiment or modification can be replaced with another embodiment or modification. It is also possible to add configurations. Further, it is possible to add, delete, or replace a part of the configuration of each embodiment or modification with other configurations.
