Method and system for enhanced data transfer
First Claim
1. A system for enhancing data transfers comprising:
- a first computing device configured to download medical records from a portable device;
a second computing device configured to receive medical records from the first computing device; and
a software configured to operate in a first installation in the first computing device and configured to operate in a second installation in the second computing device,wherein the first installation of the software is configured to;
store a last record fingerprint in the first computing device;
download records from the portable device to the first computing device in one of a LIFO and a FIFO sequential order;
compare each downloaded record to the last record fingerprint to find a match; and
update the last record fingerprint with a record fingerprint of a newest record from the portable device downloaded to the first computing device.

Abstract
A system and method for enhanced data transfer are disclosed, the method being applicable to a system comprising a computing device configured to transfer data from a portable device. In one embodiment, the computing device stores a fingerprint of the newest record downloaded from a portable device and stops downloading records from the device when a downloaded record matches the fingerprint. In another embodiment, the computing device stores a fingerprint of the newest record downloaded from a portable device and fully processes records that are downloaded from the device after a downloaded record matches the fingerprint. The system may include a portable device configured to adapt its operation responsive to a system fingerprint provided by the computing device. The portable device may be a medical device. The system may be a healthcare data management system.

15. A system for enhancing data transfers comprising:
-
a first computing device configured to download data from a portable device; and software configured to operate in the first computing device and to; store a last record fingerprint in the first computing device; download medical records from the portable device in one of a LIFO and a FIFO sequential order; provide a first and a second user selectable option, selection of the first user selectable option causing the software to compare each downloaded medical record to only the last record fingerprint to find a match, selection of the second user selectable option causing the software to bypass comparing each downloaded medical record to the last record fingerprint; and update the last record fingerprint with a record fingerprint of a newest medical record from the portable device downloaded to the first computing device. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A system for enhancing data transfers comprising:
-
a portable device configured to generate data records; a first computing device in communication with the portable device; a second computing device in communication with the portable device and the first communication device; and a software configured to operate in a first installation in the first computing device and configured to operate in a second installation in the second computing device, wherein the first installation of the software is configured to; generate a last record fingerprint, the last record fingerprint associated with the first installation of the software; download data records from the portable device to the first computing device in one of LIFO and FIFO sequential order; provide a first and a second user selectable option, selection of the first user selectable option causing the software to compare each downloaded data record to only the last record fingerprint to find a match, selection of the second user selectable option causing the software to bypass comparing each downloaded data record to the last record fingerprint; and update the last record fingerprint with a record fingerprint of a newest data record from the portable device downloaded to the first computing device, wherein the second installation of the software is configured to; generate a second last record fingerprint, the second last record fingerprint associated with the second installation of the software; download data records from the portable device to the second computing device in one of LIFO and FIFO sequential order; compare each downloaded data record to the second record fingerprint to find a match; and update the second last record fingerprint with a record fingerprint of a newest record from the portable device downloaded to the second computing device. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22)
