System, method and apparatus for displaying a non-biasing and self-adjusting visual analog scale on a computing device
First Claim
1. A system for displaying a visual analog scale comprising:
- a screen display;
one or more computer processors; and
non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions operable, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the system to;
generate the visual analog scale based on a number of pixels on the screen display, wherein the visual analog scale comprises equal intervals of distance to fit the number of pixels, wherein the visual analog scale comprises a first target area and a second target area, wherein the first target area and the second target area are equally sized.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying a non-biasing VAS that automatically adjusts to different screen aspect ratios/resolutions of a computing device, while preserving the reliability of the VAS. The system and method can calculate a number of pixels available on a screen display to display a VAS. Further, the system and method can generate a VAS comprising equally sized intervals of distance to fit the available screen display. In addition, the system and method can include an anchor line at each end of the VAS that indicates an upper and lower value of a range of values measured by the VAS. The system and method can also include a unit cursor on the VAS that allows a subject to indicate, by pixel, interval or target area, a position on the VAS.
