Abstract

A method, apparatus and computer program product are therefore provided in order to provide for display of waveforms. An example method may include concurrently displaying a first waveform display area and a second waveform display area, wherein the first waveform display area displays a first waveform. The first waveform display area may include a first plurality of display areas corresponding to sensor readings associated with the first waveform. The second waveform display area may display a second waveform. The second waveform display area may include a second plurality of display areas corresponding to sensor readings associated with the second waveform. The method may also include receiving a first input via a waveform selection control displayed in a waveform selection area, the first input defining at least a portion of the first waveform, and adjusting the display of the first waveform within the first waveform display area as defined by the first input.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

concurrently displaying a first waveform and a second waveform within a waveform display area, wherein the waveform display area comprises a plurality of display areas corresponding to sensor readings, and wherein sensor readings associated with each waveform are concurrently displayed within the corresponding display areas;

receiving a first input via a waveform selection control displayed in a waveform selection area; and

adjusting the display, using a processor, of at least one of the first waveform or the second waveform within the waveform display area to display in accordance with the first input.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining an input type of the first input;

adjusting the first waveform in response to the input type being a first input type; and

adjusting the second waveform in response to the input type being a second input type.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the first input type is a single finger drag operation, and the second input type is a two finger drag operation.

4. The method of claim 2, further comprising;

adjusting both the first waveform and the second waveform in response to the input type being a third input type.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the first waveform and the second waveform are electrocardiogram waveforms.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the plurality of display areas are each associated with a particular lead of the electrocardiogram waveforms.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein each of the plurality of display areas is associated with a particular lead of the electrocardiogram waveforms.

8. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

determining that a lock control associated with the first waveform is not engaged; and

adjusting the first waveform only in response to determining the lock control is not engaged.

9. An apparatus comprising processing circuitry configured to cause the apparatus to:

concurrently display a first waveform and a second waveform within a waveform display area, wherein the waveform display area comprises a plurality of display areas corresponding to sensor readings, and wherein sensor readings associated with each waveform are concurrently displayed within the corresponding display areas;

receive a first input via a waveform selection control displayed in a waveform selection area; and

adjust the display of at least one of the first waveform or the second waveform within the waveform display area to display in accordance with the first input.

10. The apparatus of claim 9, further caused to:

determine an input type of the first input;

adjust the first waveform in response to the input type being a first input type; and

adjust the second waveform in response to the input type being a second input type.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the first input type is a single finger drag operation, and the second input type is a two finger drag operation.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, further caused to:

adjust both the first waveform and the second waveform in response to the input type being a third input type.

13. The apparatus of claim 9, wherein the first waveform and the second waveform are electrocardiogram waveforms.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein each of the plurality of display areas is associated with a particular lead of the electrocardiogram waveforms.

16. The apparatus of claim 9, further caused to:

determine that a lock control associated with the first waveform is not engaged; and

adjust the first waveform only in response to determining the lock control is not engaged.

17. A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium bearing computer program instructions embodied therein for use with a computer, the computer program instructions comprising program instructions configured to:

concurrently display a first waveform and a second waveform within a waveform display area, wherein the waveform display area comprises a plurality of display areas corresponding to sensor readings, and wherein sensor readings associated with each waveform are concurrently displayed within the corresponding display areas;

receive a first input via a waveform selection control displayed in a waveform selection area; and

adjust the display of at least one of the first waveform or the second waveform within the waveform display area to display in accordance with the first input.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the computer program instructions are further configured to:

determine an input type of the first input;

adjust the first waveform in response to the input type being a first input type; and

adjust the second waveform in response to the input type being a second input type.

19. The computer program product of claim 17, wherein the first input type is a single finger drag operation, and the second input type is a two finger drag operation.
