Abstract

The method is for navigating in a computer device containing medical information. A first medical module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) and a second medical module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) of a module menu are provided. The first medical module is different from the second medical module. A display (200) displays the module menu (204) and a bookmark activation device (228) for activating a bookmark module (290). The first medical module from the module menu is selected and a first information segment in the first medical module is marked as a first bookmark. The second medical module is selected and a second information segment in the second medical module is marked as a second bookmark. The first and second bookmarks are stored in the bookmark module (290). The bookmark activation device is triggered to activate and display the second bookmark module.

Claims

1. A method for navigating in a computer device containing medical information, comprising:

providing a first medical module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) and a second medical module (12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30) of a module menu, the first medical module being different from the second medical module;

providing a display (200) displaying the module menu (204) and a bookmark activation device (228) for activating a bookmark modules (290);

selecting the first medical module from the module menu and marking a first information segment in the first medical module as a first bookmark;

selecting the second medical module and marking a second information segment in the second medical module as a second bookmark, the first and second bookmarks being stored in the bookmark module (290); and

activating the bookmark activation device to activate and display the second bookmark module.

2. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises activating a module menu tab 292 in the bookmark module (290) and selecting the first medical module to trigger the bookmark module to display the first bookmark.

3. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises, selecting the second medical module so that the bookmark module displays the second bookmark.

4. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises activating a flash memory (224) to display a latest search command.

5. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises associating the second medical module to the first bookmark while the first bookmark is associated with the first medical module.

6. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises clearing a memory cache (298) containing all bookmarks.

7. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises activating a back arrow (222).

8. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises activating a forward arrow (220).

9. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises using a word processing header H1, . . . H7 to create hierarchical conversion of documents.

10. The method according to claim 1 wherein the method further comprises using a link to move within a module and move to another module and using an expanding link to expand a text portion between existing links.
