Context information processing system used for accessing medical data
First Claim
1. A context information processing system used for accessing medical data, comprising:
- an acquisition processor for acquiring configuration information indicating a type of a particular patient identification tag reader device for a plurality of different types of tag reader device and a format of patient identification data used by said particular patient identification tag reader device;
an interpreter for using the acquired configuration information in selecting a data decoding protocol from a plurality of different decoding protocols used for decoding data from a corresponding plurality of different types of patient identification tag reader device and using the selected decoding protocol for processing patient identification data received from said particular patient identification tag reader device using said acquired configuration information to provide a particular patient identifier; and
a context processor for updating a record indicating a current patient context comprising a patient identifier to be compatible with said particular patient identifier.

Abstract
A context information processing system used for accessing medical data includes an acquisition processor for acquiring configuration information indicating a type of a particular patient identification tag reader device of a plurality of different types of tag reader device and a format of patient identification data used by the particular patient identification tag reader device. An interpreter processes patient identification data received from the particular patient identification tag reader device using the received configuration information to provide a particular patient identifier. A context processor updates a record indicating that a current patient context, including a patient identifier, is compatible with the particular patient identifier.

18. A method of accessing and processing medical identification data, comprising:
-
using a workstation coupled to a device adapted to scan an identification tag, the workstation reading raw data from the device adapted to scan an identification tag and being used for, acquiring first information regarding a method of raw data transfer from the identification device to the workstation from a repository of said first information; acquiring second information regarding a structure of the raw data transferred from the device to the workstation from a repository of said second information; selecting a raw data decoding protocol from a plurality of different decoding protocols used for decoding data from a corresponding plurality of different types of identification tag reader device in response to the acquired first information; and decoding the raw data using the selected raw data decoding protocol. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
