Uploading measurement data of non-connected medical measuring devices
First Claim
1. A method for detecting and uploading measurement data of a non-connected electrocardiograph, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor of a computer, a video comprising an image of a display of the electrocardiograph and an image of an identifying badge from a digital video camcorder, wherein the electrocardiograph is not in electronic communication with the computer and the digital video camcorder;
displaying, by the processor, the video on a display of the computer;
receiving, by the processor, a definition of a first target region and a second target region on the display of the computer from a user, wherein the first target region corresponds to a location of the electrocardiograph on the display of the computer and the second target region corresponds to a location of the identifying badge on the display of the computer;
capturing, by the processor, from the video, an image of the identifying badge corresponding to the user, and a beginning event image of the display of the electrocardiograph, wherein the beginning event image comprises a first image of the display of the electrocardiograph prior to taking a measurement of the user;
extracting, by the processor, identification data from the image of the identifying badge;
capturing from the video, by the processor, responsive to detecting, via the processor, that the identifying badge has been removed, an ending event image of the display of the electrocardiograph, wherein the ending event image comprises a second image of the display of the electrocardiograph;
determining, by the processor, if a measurement event has occurred by comparing the ending event image of the display of electrocardiograph and the beginning event image of the electrocardiograph; and
extracting, by the processor, responsive to determining that the measurement event occurred, measurement data from the ending event image of the display of electrocardiograph and uploading the measurement data to a personal health record database;
wherein the image of the identifying badge, the beginning event image, and the ending event image are captured by the digital video camcorder that is physically separate from and not in electronic communication with the non-connected electrocardiograph.

Abstract
Embodiments are directed to detecting and uploading measurement data of a non-connected medical measuring device. Embodiments include capturing an image of an identification object and a beginning event image of a medical measuring device and extracting identification data from the image of the identification object. Based on detecting that the identification object has been removed, an ending event image of the medical measuring device is captured. Embodiments include determining if a measurement event has occurred by comparing the ending event image and the beginning event image. Based on determining that the measurement event occurred, a measurement data of the ending event image is extracted and upload to a personal health record database.

5. A computer system for detecting and uploading measurement data of a non-connected electrocardiograph, the computer system comprising:
-
a digital video camcorder for capturing images comprising an image of a display of the electrocardiograph and an image of an identifying badge, wherein the electrocardiograph is not in electronic communication with the computer system; a memory device, the memory device having computer readable computer instructions; and a processor for executing the computer readable instructions, the instructions including; defining a first target region and a second target region on a display of the digital video camcorder, wherein the first target region corresponds to a location of the electrocardiograph on the display of the computer system and the second target region corresponds to a location of the identifying badge on the display of the computer system; capturing an image of the identifying badge corresponding to a user, and a beginning event image of the display of the electrocardiograph, wherein the beginning event image is a first image of the display of the electrocardiograph prior to taking a measurement of the user; extracting identification data from the image of the identifying badge; based on detecting that the identifying badge has been removed, capturing an ending event image of the display of the electrocardiograph, wherein the ending event image is a second image of the display of the electrocardiograph; determining if a measurement event has occurred by comparing the ending event image of the display of electrocardiograph and the beginning event image of the display of electrocardiograph; and based on determining that the measurement event occurred, extracting measurement data from the display of electrocardiograph of the ending event image and uploading the measurement data to a personal health record database. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
