SYSTEM, METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING A NON-BIASING AND SELF-ADJUSTING VISUAL ANALOG SCALE ON A COMPUTING DEVICE
First Claim
1. A system for displaying a non-biasing, self-adjusting visual analog scale comprising:
- a screen display;
a screen dimension detection module configured to determine a number of pixels available on the screen display to display the visual analog scale; and
a visual analog scale display module configured to;
receive the available number of pixels from the screen dimension detection module;
generate the visual analog scale comprising equal intervals of distance to fit the number of pixels available on the screen display; and
display the visual analog scale on the screen display.

Abstract
A system and method for displaying a non-biasing VAS that automatically adjusts to different screen aspect ratios/resolutions of a computing device, while preserving the reliability of the VAS. The system and method can calculate a number of pixels available on a screen display to display a VAS. Further, the system and method can generate a VAS comprising equally sized intervals of distance to fit the available screen display. In addition, the system and method can include an anchor line at each end of the VAS that indicates an upper and lower value of a range of values measured by the VAS. The system and method can also include a unit cursor on the VAS that allows a subject to indicate, by pixel, interval or target area, a position on the VAS.

10. A computer-implemented method for displaying a non-biasing, self-adjusting visual analog scale comprising:
-
determining, using a screen dimension detection module, a number of pixels available on a screen display to display a visual analog scale; receiving, at a visual analog scale display module, the available number of pixels from the screen dimension detection module; generating, using the visual analog display module, the visual analog scale comprising equal intervals of distance to fit the number of pixels available on the screen display; and displaying, using the visual analog display module, the visual analog scale on the screen display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
