Abstract

A method of displaying bio-information on a screen includes outputting basic bio-information of a plurality of bio-parameters indicating a condition of a patient on one display screen, determining an occurrence of an event related to the plurality of bio-parameters, converting the basic bio-information into detailed bio-information about one of the plurality of bio-parameters based on a result of the determining an occurrence of an event, and outputting the converted detailed bio-information on the one display screen.

Claims

1. A method of displaying bio-information, the method comprising:

obtaining basic bio-information of bio-parameters indicating a condition of a patient;

displaying a first screen display including the obtained basic bio-information of the bio-parameters, on a display screen;

comparing, by a processor, a predetermined range of the respective bio-parameters with values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information of the respective bio-parameters;

determining by a processor, for each of the respective bio-parameters, whether a plurality of events occurs based on whether the values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information are respectively within the predetermined ranges of the respective bio-parameters; and

when the plurality of events occurs for a plurality of bio-parameters from among the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient, displaying each of second screen displays including detailed bio-information for each of the plurality of bio-parameters for which the events occurred, on the display screen, alternately in a predetermined time interval,

wherein each of the second screen displays include a tabular and graphical data of the bio-parameters for which the events occurred, on the display screen.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising emitting a sound source when each of the plurality of events occurs, thereby notifying a user that the each of the plurality of events has occurred.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the each of the second screen displays further includes a message notifying a user that the each of the plurality of events has occurred, on the display screen.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein

in the determining whether the plurality of events occurs, input of a signal is monitored, and

in the displaying the second screen displays, the first screen display is converted to the each of the second screen displays according to the inputted signal.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein

the basic bio-information comprises at least one selected from a time-series graph and numeric data about the bio-parameters obtained in real time, and

the detailed bio-information comprises a temporal data tendency of the basic bio-information, and the basic bio-information.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein

the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient are numerical, and

the displaying each of second screen displays comprises:

representing the numerical bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient in a non-numerical display, the non-numeral display comprising a table or graph.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the representing the numerical bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient in a non-numerical display comprises displaying statistical data according to the time, the statistical data denoting changing over time of the bio-parameters for which the event occurred.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the displaying each of second screen displays comprises:

displaying a textual label indicating whether the values corresponding to obtained basic bio-information are within the predetermined range of the bio-parameters when the plurality of events occurs.

9. A non-transitory computer readable recording medium including recorded thereon, a program of computer executable instructions for executing a method of displaying bio-information, the method comprising:

obtaining basic bio-information of bio-parameters indicating a condition of a patient;

displaying a first screen display including the obtained basic bio-information of the bio-parameters, on a display screen;

comparing, by a processor, a predetermined range of respective bio-parameters with values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information of the bio-parameters;

determining for each of the respective bio-parameters, by a processor, whether a plurality of events occurs based on whether the values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information are respectively within the predetermined ranges of the respective bio-parameters; and

when the plurality of events occurs for a plurality of bio-parameters from among the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient, displaying each of second screen displays including detailed bio-information for each of the plurality of bio-parameters for which the events occurred, on the display screen, alternately in a predetermined time interval,

wherein each of the second screen displays include a tabular and graphical data of the bio-parameters for which the events occurred, on the display screen.

10. An apparatus for displaying bio-information, the apparatus comprising:

an obtaining unit which obtains basic bio-information of bio-parameters indicating a condition of a patient;

a monitoring unit which compares a predetermined range of respective bio-parameters with values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information of the bio-parameters, and determines for each of the respective bio-parameters whether a plurality of events occurs based on whether the values corresponding to the obtained basic bio-information are respectively within the predetermined ranges of the respective bio-parameters, and

a display unit which displays a first screen display on a display screen, and displays each of second screen displays including detailed bio-information for each of the plurality of bio-parameters for which the event occurred, on the display screen, alternately in a predetermined time interval, when the plurality of events occurs for a plurality of bio-parameters from among the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient,

wherein

the first screen display includes the obtained basic bio-information of the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient, and

wherein each of the second screen displays include a tabular and graphical data of the bio-parameters for which the events occurred, on the display screen.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein

the obtaining unit further obtains the predetermined range of the bio-parameters indicating the condition of the patient;

and

the monitoring unit comprises an event detecting unit which determines the occurrences of the plurality of events.

12. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising a sound emitting unit which, when the each of the plurality of events occurs, emits a sound notifying a user that the each of the plurality of events has occurred.

13. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the each of the second screen displays further including a message notifying a user that the plurality of events has occurred, on the display screen.

14. The apparatus of claim 10, further comprising an input unit which receives selection information from a user,

wherein

the monitoring unit obtains a signal from the input unit, and

the display unit displays the each of the second screen displays, by converting the first screen display to the each of the second screen displays, in response to the signal.

15. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the display unit displays at least one selected from a time-series graph and numeric data about one or more of the bio-parameters obtained in real time, and a temporal data tendency of the one or more of the bio-parameters.
