Abstract

The invention provides a device for displaying information, comprising storage means for storing data, display means adapted to display data to a user, and user input means. The data is organized as data units, each data unit comprising time data, type data and information data, and the display means is adapted to graphically display an aggregate period view comprising at least two period views, graphically display a single period view, graphically display a symbol corresponding to a given data type, graphically display at least one data type symbol for every period view, and display a card view comprising information data corresponding to a selected symbol. The user input means allows the user to select a desired period view from an aggregate period view, the display thereby displaying the selected period view, and select a desired symbol, the display thereby displaying a card view showing at least a portion of the corresponding information data. By this arrangement a data display user interface is created providing the user with both an overview of stored data, yet allows the user to easily navigate to retrieve more detailed data information as desired.

Claims

1. Device (1) for displaying information, comprising:

data storage means for storing data,

display means (30) adapted to display data to a user,

processor means adapted to control the display means and the data storage means, and

user input means (10),

wherein the processor means is adapted to store data organized as data units, each data unit comprising;

(i) time data,

(ii) type data, and

(iii) information data,

wherein the processor means is adapted to control the display means to;

(a) graphically display an aggregate period view (67) comprising at least two period views,

(b) graphically display a single period view (68),

(c) graphically display a data type symbol (63) corresponding to a given data type,

(d) graphically display at least one data type symbol for every period view, and

(e) display a card view (69) comprising information data corresponding to a selected data type symbol,

wherein the user input means allows the user to;

select a desired period view from an aggregate period view, the display means thereby displaying the selected period view, and

select a desired symbol from the selected period view, the display means thereby displaying a card view showing at least a portion of the corresponding information data.

2. A device as in claim 1, wherein the user input means allows the user to select a card view showing information data of the next or the previous data unit stored in the storage means, the order of the data units being defined by the corresponding time data for the data units.

3. A device as in claim 1, wherein the processor means is adapted to control the display means to display a view menu allowing a user to select between two or more types of data type symbols, or combinations of data type symbols, to be displayed for a given aggregate period view or a period view.

4. A device as in claim 3, wherein the user input means allows a user, for the selected type of data type symbol or combination of data type symbols, to select a card view showing information data of the next or the previous data unit stored in the storage means, the order of the data units being defined by the corresponding time data for the data units.

5. A device as in claim 1, wherein the aggregate period view represents a week and the period view represents a day.

6. A device as in claim 1, wherein the user input means allows the user to select a first mode in which selected data can be displayed, and a second mode in which data can be entered using the user input means, the entered data being stored in the storage means.

7. A device as in claim 6, wherein the processor means is adapted to control the display means to display a data entry menu allowing a user to select between two or more types of data, the selected type of data allowing the user to enter information data corresponding to the selected type.

8. A device as in claim 7, wherein the input means allows the user to select a period from a displayed aggregate period view, the selected period at least partially determining the time data for the data to be entered.

9. A device as in claim 1, wherein a data unit comprises data from one of the following groups of data:

type data representing a blood glucose value, time data representing a point of time, and information data representing a blood glucose value,

type data representing a meal, time data representing a point of time, and information data representing a value representing a characteristic of the meal,

type data representing a bolus delivery, time data representing a point of time, and information data representing a size of a bolus,

type data representing exercise, time data representing a point of time, and information data representing a value representing the level of exercise, and

type data representing one of a change in a basal delivery rate, taking of medication, or illness, and time data representing a point of time.

10. A device as in claim 9, wherein each type data is associated with a graphical data type symbol adapted to be displayed on the display means.

11. A drug delivery system comprising:

a device (1, 100) for displaying information as in any of the previous claims,

a reservoir (350) adapted to contain a drug,

an expelling assembly (330) adapted for cooperation with the reservoir to expel drug out of the reservoir, and

at least one processor (361) adapted to control the expelling device in accordance with a programmed infusion profile.

12. A system as in claim 11, comprising a delivery unit (1050) in which the reservoir and the expelling assembly are arranged, and a control unit (1, 100) comprising the display means and user input means, the delivery and control units being adapted to communicate with each other.

13. A system as in claim 11, comprising a delivery unit in which the reservoir and the expelling assembly are arranged, the delivery unit further comprising the display means and user input means.

14. A medical system as in claim 12, further comprising a transcutaneous device unit (1015), the transcutaneous device unit comprising:

a transcutaneous device (1017), and

a mounting surface (1020) adapted for application to the skin of a subject,

wherein the transcutaneous device unit and the delivery unit (1050) are adapted to be secured to each other to form a combined device.

15. A method for displaying information, comprising the steps:

storing data as data units, each data unit comprising (i) time data, (ii) type data, and (iii) information data,

providing display means adapted to;

(a) graphically display an aggregate period view (67) comprising at least two period views,

(b) graphically display a single period view (68),

(c) graphically display a data type symbol (63) corresponding to a given data type,

(d) graphically display at least one data type symbol for every period view, and

(e) display a card view (69) comprising information data corresponding to a selected data type symbol,

selecting a period view from an aggregate period view, the display means thereby displaying the selected period view, and

selecting a symbol from the selected period view, the display means thereby displaying a card view showing at least a portion of the corresponding information data.
