Abstract

An information displaying system is configured to display a time axis region and a signal display region on a display device. The time axis region is configured to display a time axis of a biosignal along a first direction and to display a first mark on the time axis, and signal display region is configured to display a plurality of waveforms of the biosignal side by side in a second direction which is different from the first direction. In response to receiving a designation information designating a time, the information displaying system displays, on the signal display region, the plurality of waveforms for a predetermined time range including the time designated by the designation information, and displays a line extending in the second direction at a location of the waveforms corresponding to the first mark.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information displaying system comprising:
a memory storing a program;
a display device, and
a processor configured to execute the program to implement a process including:
displaying a time axis region on the display device, the time axis region being configured to display a first time axis of a biosignal along a first direction, to display a second time axis of the biosignal along the first direction, and to display a first mark on the first time axis in the time axis region, the first time axis representing an entire period of time when the biosignal was measured, and the first mark being a pointer mark indicating a time point designated by a user,
displaying a signal display region on the display device, the signal display region being configured to display a plurality of waveforms of the biosignal side by side in a second direction which is different from the first direction, the second time axis displayed on the time axis region representing a period of time when the waveforms displayed on the signal display region were obtained;
in response to receiving, from the user, an operation of designating a specific time point on the signal display region, displaying the first mark at a location on the first time axis in the time axis region corresponding to the specific time point on the signal display region; and
in response to receiving an operation of designating a section on the first time axis in the time axis region from the user,
displaying, in the signal display region, the plurality of waveforms for a time range corresponding to the designated section on the first time axis, and
in a case in which the first mark displayed on the first time axis is located within the designated section on the first time axis, displaying, in the signal display region, a line crossing the plurality of waveforms in the second direction at the time point indicated by the first mark.

2. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein the time axis region is configured to display a plurality of the first marks.

3. The information displaying system according to claim 2 , the process further including
displaying a counter box on the display device configured to display a number of the first marks.

4. The information displaying system according to claim 2 , wherein the signal display region is configured to display a plurality of lines each corresponding to one of the plurality of the first marks.

5. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein the time axis region is configured, to display figures of time, in addition to the first time axis and the second time axis.

6. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein the biosignal is a magnetoencephalogram (MEG) signal.

7. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein the biosignal includes a magnetoencephalogram (MEG) signal and an electroencephalogram (EEG) signal, and the waveforms of the MEG signal and the waveforms of the EEG signal are displayed on the signal display region in a synchronized manner.

8. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein information of the biosignal and the first mark is stored in the memory as a measured file, and the plurality of waveforms are displayed by reading out the measured file from the memory.

9. The information displaying system according to claim 1 , wherein, in displaying the line, a second mark corresponding to the line is displayed between the time axis region and the signal display region, and the line is displayed such that an end of the line is in contact with the second mark.

10. An information displaying device comprising:
a memory storing a program;
a display device; and
a processor configured to execute the program to implement a process including:
displaying a time axis region on the display device, the time axis region being configured to display a first time axis of a biosignal along a first direction to display a second time axis of the biosignal along the first direction, and to display a first mark on the first time axis in the time axis region, the first time axis representing an entire period of time when the biosignal was measured, and the first mark being a pointer mark indicating a time point designated by a user;
displaying a signal display region on the display device, the signal display region being configured to display a plurality of waveforms of the biosignal side by side in a second direction which is different from the first direction, the second time axis displayed on the time axis region representing a period of time when the waveforms displayed on the signal display region were obtained;
in response to receiving, from the user, an operation of designating a specific time point on the signal display region, displaying the first mark at a location on the first time axis in the time axis region corresponding to the specific time point on the signal display region; and
in response to receiving an operation of designating a section on the first time axis in the time axis region from the user,
displaying, in the signal display region, the plurality of waveforms for a time range corresponding to the designated section on the first time axis, and
in a case in which the first mark displayed on the first time axis is located within the designated section on the first time axis, displaying, in the signal display region, a line crossing the plurality of waveforms in the second direction at the time point indicated by the first mark.

11. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a computer program to cause a processor in an information displaying device including a display device to execute a method, the method comprising:
displaying a time axis region on the display device, the time axis region being configured to display a first time axis of a biosignal along a first direction, to display a second time axis of the biosignal along the first direction, and to display a first mark on the time axis in the time axis region, the first time axis representing an entire period of time when the biosignal was measured, and the first mark being a pointer mark indicating a time point designated by a user;
displaying a signal display region on the display device, the signal display region being configured to display a plurality of waveforms of the biosignal side by side in a second direction which is different from the first direction, the second time axis displayed on the time axis region representing a period of time when the waveforms displayed on the signal display region were obtained;
in response to receiving, from the user, an operation of designating a specific time point on the signal display region, displaying the first mark at a location on the first time axis in the time axis region corresponding to the specific time point on the signal display region, and
in response to receiving an operation of designating a section on the first time axis in the time axis region from the user,
