First Claim
Patent Images
1. A medical monitor, comprising:
- a touch sensitive display; and
data processing circuitry capable of causing the touch sensitive display to display a virtual control structure, of receiving an input when the virtual control structure is manipulated by a continuous motion applied to the touch sensitive display, and of adjusting a selected parameter based upon the input.

Abstract
The present disclosure describes the use of virtual control structures on medial devices, such as medical monitors. The virtual control structures may be implemented as virtual knobs, virtual sliders, or as other structures suitable for adjusting an operational parameter of the medical or other device. When displayed on a touch screen, the virtual control structures may be manipulated to adjust the operational parameter. When not in use, the virtual control structure may be hidden or minimized, allowing the touch screen to be primarily used for the display of patient data or operational data for the device.
