DYNAMICALLY RECONFIGURING A USER INTERFACE OF A PATIENT MONITOR RESPONSIVE TO AN ORIENTATION INPUT
First Claim
1. A method of displaying patient parameter information comprising:
- acquiring, via a parameter acquisition unit of a patient monitoring system, at least one data signal relating to at least one physiological parameter of a patient;
processing the at least one data signal with a processing unit;
generating patient parameter information related to the at least one physiological parameter based on the at least one data signal;
receiving an orientation input corresponding to the orientation of a display unit of the patient monitoring system;
dynamically reconfiguring a visual layout of at least a portion of the patient parameter information for display on the display unit of the patient monitoring system based on the received orientation input; and
displaying the visual layout via the display unit of the patient monitoring system.

Abstract
A patient monitoring system may be configured to acquire data signals relating to various physiological parameters of a patient. For example, the patient monitoring system may be used to determine or record a patient'"'"'s blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and/or other physiological parameters. The patient monitoring system may process the data signals and generate patient parameter information. The patient parameter information may be displayed on a display unit. The patient monitoring system may be configured to dynamically reconfigure a visual display of the patient parameter information based on the orientation (e.g., portrait or landscape) of the patient monitoring system. Additionally, the patient monitoring system may be configured to selectively enter a transport mode, in which the touch screen and/or user inputs are locked or partially locked. The patient monitoring system may automatically enter a transport mode when the display unit is rotated to a landscape orientation.
