First Claim
1. A method comprised of software modules for collecting data D generated by transmitter devices (1);
- namely, generated by medical devices such as those used in intensive care units (2), and for distributing said data D to users;
namely to healthcare workers (3);
each user having at least one computing equipment (5);
namely a personal computer, connected to a display monitor (5a) and/or to a printer (5b) and/or to a speaker (5c);
said computing equipment being associated with a data analysis software (5e), namely a clinical analysis software;
said software modules being comprised of the modules specified below and carrying out the following steps of the method;
(I) a DataCaptor Service (DS) (21) activating and controlling the functions of the other modules, (II) a DataCaptor Data Store device (DDS) module (25) storing said data D and the commands namely on a disk, (III) DataCaptor ActiveX Controls (DAC) modules (26) accessible from any point of said computer communications network and controlling the distribution of said data D;
each DataCaptor ActiveX Controls (DAC) (26) receiving said data D from the associated DataCaptor Data Store (DDS) (25) and transmitting said data to said computing equipment (5) and said data analysis software (5e);
namely, to said clinical analysis software;
each DataCaptor ActiveX Controls (DAC) (26) addressing commands C to all or part of the other modules;
said software modules being further comprised of the aforesaid module and performing the following steps of the method;
(IV) a DataCaptor Device Interfaces (DDI) module (23), configured as a function of the specifications of said transmitter devices (1) connected to said computing communications network in order to establish and to maintain a connection with said transmitter devices (1) via a DataCaptor Communication Interface (DCI) (22);
said software modules being further comprised of the modules set forth below and carrying out the following steps of the method;
(V) a DataCaptor Communication Interface (DCI) module (22) actioning and controlling the physical communication ports (29) to said data processing communication network to which said transmitter devices (1) are connected;
(VI) a DataCaptor Control Panel (DCP)(28), used by said user for specifying;
the physical branchings between said transmitter devices (1) and said physical communications ports (29), the communications parameters, the identifiers of said transmitter devices (1) concerned.
