Content based hanging protocols facilitated by rules based system
First Claim
1. A computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for a computer, said instructions including:
- an access routine communicating a default hanging protocol between a network server and a display workstation, said default hanging protocol including at least one default display rule for displaying a plurality of images at said display workstation, said default display rule directing said display workstation to present each of said images at a location on a display device of said display workstation and/or in a sequence in which each of said images is presented at said display workstation;
a tracking routine monitoring a selection of an additional display rule, wherein said tracking routine monitors repeated manual selection of said additional display rule over time by a user; and
a modifying routine dynamically modifying said default hanging protocol based on said selection, wherein said modifying routine incorporates said repeated manual selection of said additional display rule over time by the user into said default hanging protocol such that said default hanging protocol is modified to comprise said additional display rule, wherein said modifying routine eliminates a need for said repeated manual selection of said additional display rule.

Abstract
The present invention provides a computer-readable storage medium including a set of instructions for a computer. The instructions include an access routine, a tracking routine, and a modifying routine. The access routine is configured to communicate a default hanging protocol between a network server and a display workstation. The default hanging protocol includes at least one default display rule for displaying a plurality of images at the display workstation. The default display rule is capable of directing the display workstation to present each of the images at a location on a display device of the display workstation and/or in a sequence in which each of the images is presented at the display workstation. The tracking routine is configured to monitor a selection of an additional display rule. The modifying routine is configured to dynamically modify the default hanging protocol based on the selection.

12. A method for dynamically altering a default hanging protocol, said method including:
-
providing access to said default hanging protocol, said default hanging protocol including at least one display rule, said display rule employed to direct a display workstation to present each of a plurality of images in a location on a display device and/or in a sequence in which each of said images is presented on said display device; providing a tracking system monitoring a selection of at least one additional display rule; monitoring, by the tracking system, repeated manual selection of said at least one additional display rule over time; providing a hanging protocol editor capable of dynamically creating a modified default hanging protocol, said modified default hanging protocol including said default hanging protocol and a modification to said default hanging protocol, said modification based on at least said repeated manual selection of said at least one additional display rule; and incorporating, through the hanging protocol editor, said repeated manual selection of said at least one additional display rule over time into said default hanging protocol such that said modified default hanging protocol comprises said at least one additional display rule, wherein said incorporating eliminates a need for said repeated manual selection. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for dynamically altering a hanging protocol in a picture archiving and communication system, said system including:
-
a default hanging protocol including a subset of a plurality of display rules, said display rules employed in determining a presentation of a plurality of images as displayed on a display device; a tracking system configured to monitor a user'"'"'s selection of one or more of said plurality of display rules outside of said subset to alter said presentation, wherein said tracking system monitors repeated manual selection of said one or more of said plurality of display rules outside of said subset over time; and a hanging protocol editor configured to modify said default hanging protocol based on at least said user'"'"'s selection, wherein said hanging protocol incorporates said repeated manual selection of said one or more of said plurality of display rules outside of said subset over time into said default hanging protocol such that said modified default hanging protocol comprises said one or more of said plurality of display rules outside of said subset, wherein said modified default hanging protocol eliminates a need for said repeated manual selection of said one or more of said plurality of display rules outside of said subset. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
