Abstract

A verification method including the steps of displaying a visual output in a first region of a user interface and displaying at least a portion of said visual output in at least a second region of said user interface, said at least a second region being different than said first region, wherein said first and said at least a second region are disposed on a single surface of a device.

Claims

1. A verification method comprising the acts of:

displaying a visual output in a first region of a user interface; and

displaying at least a portion of said visual output in at least a second region of said user interface, said at least a second region being different than said first region, wherein said first and said at least a second region are disposed on a single surface of a device.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said device includes a medical device.

3. The method as claimed in claim 2 wherein said medical device includes an insulin delivery system.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein said insulin delivery system further includes a remote control and wherein said user interface is disposed within said remote control.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further including the act of displaying said visual output in said first region of said user interface while simultaneously displaying said at least a portion of said visual output in said at least a second region of said user interface.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 further including the act of receiving data, wherein at least a portion said data includes said visual output displayed in said first and said second region.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further including the acts of:

in response to said act of receiving data, displaying said visual output in said first region of said user interface; and

verifying said at least a portion of said visual output comprising the acts of;

displaying said at least a portion of said visual output in said at least a second region of said user interface; and

receiving an acknowledgment of said at least a portion of said visual output.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein said act of receiving data into said device further includes receiving data from a second, remote device.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein said act of receiving data into said device further includes inputting user-supplied data via an input device disposed on said device.

10. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein said act of receiving said acknowledgment further includes prompting a user to input an acknowledgment.

11. The method as claimed in claim 10 wherein said act of verifying said at least a portion of said visual output further includes the act of displaying a verification message within said user interface.

12. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said user interface includes a first and at least a second separate display, wherein said first region is disposed within said first display and said at least a second region is disposed within said at least a second display.

13. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein said first and said at least a second regions are disposed within a single display.

14. A verification system comprising:

a device including a housing;

a user interface coupled to said housing and including at least one display having a first region and at least a second separate region both disposed on a first surface of said housing, said first and said at least a second region adapted to display a first and at least a second visual output, respectively, wherein said at least a second visual output includes at least a portion of said first visual output.

15. The verification system as claimed in claim 14 wherein said user interface further includes at least one input device adapted to receive data, wherein said first and said at least a second visual output each include at least a portion of said data.

16. The verification system as claimed in claim 15 wherein said at least one input device includes at least one button.

17. The verification system as claimed in claim 15 wherein said at least one input device includes at least one touch sensitive screen.

18. The verification system as claimed in claim 14 wherein said at least one display includes a first and at least a second display, wherein said first display includes said first region and said at least a second display includes said at least a second region.

19. The verification system as claimed in claim 14 wherein said at least one display includes a single display, wherein said single display includes said first and said at least a second region.

20. A verification method comprising the acts of:

receiving data;

displaying a first visual output in a first region of a user interface, said visual output including at least a portion of said data;

displaying at least a second visual output in at least a second region of said user interface, said second region being different than said first region, wherein said at least a second visual output includes at least a portion of said first visual output and wherein said first and said at least a second region are both disposed within a single device; and

confirming that said first and said at least a second visual output correspond.
