Fingertip Oximeter and a Method for Observing a Measurement Result Thereon
First Claim
1. A fingertip oximeter comprising a plurality of display modes which are capable to be presented one by one in a circulating way, allowing users to be convenient to observe a measurement result from any of surrounding directions, characterized in that the fingertip oximeter has a manually pressing button for updating the display mode in use;
- andeach display mode has a heading area and a parameter area, in which the characters in the heading area are presented in an upright standing way or in an upside-down standing way, while the parameter area is provided to show a measurement parameter, a pulse column, and/or a waveform in an upright standing way, in a right laying way, in an upside-down standing way, or in a left laying way.

Abstract
There is provided a fingertip oximeter that has a plurality of display modes which are presented sequentially in a circulating way, allowing users to easily observe a measurement result from any of surrounding directions. The present invention makes users to be able to observe a measurement result of the fingertip oximeter from any of surrounding directions, without the need of bending his/her finger. Thus, any partial occlusion of the arterial blood capillary can be avoided, so that strength of the pulse will not decrease, and strength of the signal will not be affected. As a result, the precision of the measurement is improved.

6. A method for observing a measurement result of the fingertip oximeter from any of surrounding directions, characterized in that the method comprises such steps that
step 1) the user inputs an instruction for updating a display mode of the fingertip oximeter in use by pressing a button down; -
step
2) the central processing unit sets a new display mode to which the display mode in use is to be switched, updates the display mode in use with the new display mode, and transmits a signal regarding the new display mode to the display after detecting pressing-down of the button; andstep
3) the display receives the signal regarding the new display mode to be presented from the central processing unit, and presents a measurement result in the updated new mode, in which step
2) further comprises such sub-steps that the press scan unit determines whether the button is pressed down, and transmits a first signal regarding pressing-down of the button to the switching &
setting unit if it detects that the button is pressed down;the switching &
setting unit receives the first signal from the press scan unit, and sets a new display mode to which the display mode in use is to be switched, and transmits a second signal regarding the new display mode to the display update unit; andthe display update unit receives the second signal from the switching &
setting unit, updates the display mode in use, and transmits a third signal regarding the new display mode to the display. - View Dependent Claims (7)
