1. A method for processing medical information, comprising the steps of:
- enabling a user via a user interface display image, to select a first periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient data in a first time duration on a timeline, said first periodic time interval being different from a second periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient data on said timeline in a second time duration exclusive of said first time duration;
enabling a user to select a start time and end time identifying said first time duration within said timeline;
acquiring first and second patient data substantially at said first and second periodic time intervals and in said first and second time durations, respectively;
displaying said acquired first and second patient data at said first periodic time interval during said first time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline; and
displaying said acquired first and second patient data at said second periodic time interval during said second time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline.

Abstract
A system and a method are described for allowing a user to generate a timeline and display patient data with varying time intervals. The time intervals can range from a few minutes to several hours. By allowing a user to select start time and end time when a time interval change occurs, the time interval change is applied to a selected portion or duration of the timeline rather than the full length. Also multiple time intervals may be selected and applied to the patient data.

12. A system for processing data, comprising:
-
a processor for enabling a user, via a user interface display image, to select a first periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient date in a first time duration on a timeline, said first periodic time interval being different from a second periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient data on said timeline in a second time duration exclusive of said first time duration; enabling a user to select a start time and end time identifying a said first time duration within the timeline; acquiring first and second patient data substantially at said first and second periodic time intervals and in said first and second time durations, respectively; applying the selected time interval to the timeline for the duration identified by the selected start time and end time; and a display for displaying said acquired first and second patient data at said first periodic time interval during said first time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline and displaying said acquired first and second patient data at said second periodic time interval during said second time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. A method of processing data, comprising the steps of:
-
receiving a time interval change request including a first periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient date in a first time duration on a timeline, the first periodic time interval being different from a second periodic time interval for periodically displaying patient data on said timeline in a second time duration exclusive of said first time duration; determining allowable start time and end time choices in response to the time interval change request; displaying default start time and end time; displaying allowable start time and end time choices in response to another user request; selecting a start time and end time identifying the first time duration from the displayed choices; applying the first periodic time interval to the first time duration between the selected start time and end time; acquiring first and second patient data substantially at the first and second periodic time intervals and in said first and second time durations, respectively; and updating the acquired first and second patient data at the first periodic time interval during the first time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline and updating the acquired first and second patient data at said second periodic time interval during said second time duration in a display image together with data representing said timeline in response to applying the time interval change. - View Dependent Claims (24)
