Method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter
First Claim
1. A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body comprising:
- storing a time segment of the sequence of measurements as a record in a database;
automatically comparing the sequence of measurements with segments previously stored in the database, the comparison involving graphical, statistical or metadata characteristics of the sequence and of the segments, respectively; and
simultaneously graphically displaying at least three of the measurements of the stored segment on a user interface display.

Abstract
A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body, in particular of a physiological glucose concentration, and a system thereof are disclosed. A database stores a plurality of chronological sequences of measurements of the time dependent parameter and computing and display equipment graphically displays on a user interface display at least three of the measurements of a stored sequence simultaneously. The method as well as the system enable a patient to improve self-management skills concerning a therapy that affects the behavior of the parameter.

- 15. A system for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body, in particular of a physiological glucose concentration, the system comprising a computing and display equipment selected from a PDA, a personal computer, a cellular or smart phone, a specific remote control for an infusion pump, an analyte measuring device, and combinations thereof, the computing and display equipment comprising a database storing a plurality of chronological sequences of measurements of the time dependent parameter and the computing and display equipment being designed and controlled in such a way that at least three of the measurements of a sequence stored in the database is simultaneously graphically displayable on a user interface display, wherein the system automatically compares the sequence of measurements with segments previously stored in the database, the comparison involving graphical, statistical or metadata characteristics of the sequence and of the segments, respectively.

18. A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body comprising:
-
storing a time segment of the chronological sequence of measurements as a record in a database; simultaneously graphically displaying at least three of the measurements of the stored time segment on a user interface display, wherein values of the at least three measurements are displayed in a time-value coordinate system as time-value data pairs in relation to a reference line; and connecting temporally adjacent data pairs to build a curve and highlighting a geometrical area between the curve and the reference line to build a characteristic shape corresponding to the stored time segment. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)

21. A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body comprising:
-
storing a time segment of the chronological sequence of measurements as a record in a database; collecting a number of measurements belonging to a given time span and averaging the values of the collected measurements in order to build an average value to be displayed; and simultaneously graphically displaying at least three of the measurements of the stored segment on a user interface display. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A method for processing a chronological sequence of measurements of a time dependent parameter measured in or on a human body comprising:
-
storing a time segment of the sequence of measurements as a record in a database; generating interpolated values of the time dependent parameter corresponding to intermediate times such that a smooth curve segment is generated; and simultaneously graphically displaying at least three of the measurements of the stored segment on a user interface display.
