System for adaptively orienting a display image on a device
First Claim
1. A system for adaptively orienting a display image on a device for presenting data acquired via one or more cables carrying physiological data connected to a particular side of said device, comprising:
- at least one connector positioned on said particular side of said device for connection of the one or more cables;
a sensor for detecting orientation of said device and providing a device orientation representative signal indicating whether said device is in a first orientation or a second orientation substantially different to said first orientation, said sensor detecting a change in orientation of said device between said first orientation and said second orientation to enable substantially direct routing of said one or more cables;
a display screen for presenting display images on said device;
a plurality of user selectable physical buttons positioned on opposing sides of said display screen;
a display generator for automatically generating a display image on said display screen oriented to be upright in said first and second orientations of said device, in response to said orientation representative signal; and
a command processor for adaptively selecting functions assigned to each of said plurality of user selectable physical buttons, said buttons and associated labels are maintained in a same configuration where, in both said first and second orientations, a button in a same relative location with respect to said display image is associated with a same label and function in response to said orientation representative signal.

Abstract
A system adaptively orients a display image on a device for presenting data acquired via one or more cables connected to a particular side of the device. The system includes a sensor for detecting orientation of the device and providing a device orientation representative signal indicating whether the device is in a first orientation or a second orientation substantially different to the first orientation. A display screen presents display images on the device. A display generator automatically generates a display image on the display screen oriented to be upright in the first and second orientations of the device, in response to the orientation representative signal. A command processor adaptively selects functions assigned to user selectable buttons positioned on both sides of the display screen of the device, in response to the orientation representative signal.

11. A method for adaptively orienting a display image on a device including a display screen, at least one connector positioned on a particular side of said device and a plurality of user selectable physical buttons positioned on opposing sides of the display screen for presenting data acquired via one or more cables carrying physiological data connected to said at least one connector, comprising:
-
detecting the orientation of said device and providing a device orientation representative signal indicating whether said device is in a first orientation or a second orientation substantially different to said first orientation, wherein detecting a change in orientation of said device between said first orientation and said second orientation enables substantially direct routing of the one or more cables that carry the physiological data and are connected to the at least one connector; presenting display images on the display screen of said device; automatically generating a display image oriented to be upright in said first and second orientations of said device, in response to said orientation representative signal; and adaptively selecting functions assigned to each of the plurality of user selectable physical buttons positioned on both sides of said display screen of said device such that the buttons and associated labels are maintained in a same configuration where, in both said first and second orientations, a button in a same relative location with respect to the display image is associated with a same label and function in response to the orientation representative signal. - View Dependent Claims (12)
