Abstract

The present application relates to the technical field of medical monitoring. Specifically disclosed are a method for managing monitoring data, a probe assembly, and a system for managing monitoring data. The method for managing monitoring data based on the probe assembly comprises the following steps: establishing a communication connection with a first monitor; in response to a data roll-out instruction, receiving first monitoring data from the first monitor, and after the transmission of the first monitoring data is completed, breaking the communication connection with the first monitor; establishing a communication connection with a second monitor; and sending at least the first monitoring data to the second monitor, and cooperating with the second monitor to execute a monitoring task.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A probe assembly, comprising a plurality of probes, wherein the plurality of probes in the probe assembly are configured to cooperate with each other to perform the operations of:
establishing communication connection with a first monitor;
receiving, in response to a data-transfer instruction, first monitoring data from the first monitor; after transferring the first monitoring data being completed, disconnecting the communication connection with the first monitor;
establishing communication connection with a second monitor; and
sending at least the first monitoring data to the second monitor and performing a monitoring task cooperatively with the second monitor;
wherein the data-transfer instruction comprises: first access information; and
while receiving, in response to the data-transfer instruction, first monitoring data from the first monitor; after transferring the first monitoring data being completed, disconnecting the communication connection with the first monitor, the plurality of probes are further configured to perform the operations of:
selecting, based on the first access information, one probe from the plurality of probes to serve as a temporary host probe; and
receiving the first monitoring data via the temporary host probe, and disconnecting the communication connection between the probe assembly and the first monitor after transmitting the first monitoring data is completed.

2. The probe assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the selected probe comprises: a pre-defined probe or a probe which is in a first operating state; the probe which is in the first state has a power level and/or a signal strength greater than a power and/or a signal strength of any of the remaining probes of the plurality of probes; and the first access information comprises access information of the selected probe.

3. The probe assembly according to claim 2 , wherein before establishing communication connection with the second monitor, the probe assembly are further configured to perform operations of:
performing access configuration on the temporary host probe and the remaining probes by taking the first access information to establish temporary communication connection;
collecting, continually by the temporary host probe and the remaining probes, monitoring data; storing, by the temporary host probe, the monitoring data that is continually collected by the temporary host probe; receiving and storing, by the temporary host probe, the monitoring data that is transmitted from the remaining probes; and generating temporary monitoring data based on the monitoring data collected by the temporary host probe and the monitoring data collected by the remaining probes.

4. The probe assembly according to claim 3 , wherein before establishing communication connection with the second monitor, the probe assembly are further configured to perform operations of:
obtaining an unbonding instruction and disconnecting the communication connection between the temporary host probe and the remaining probes.

5. The probe assembly according to claim 4 , wherein the data-transfer instruction further comprises: second access information corresponding to the second monitor; and
while obtaining the unbonding instruction and disconnecting the communication connection between the temporary host probe and the remaining probes, the probe assembly is configured to perform operations of:
determining, by the temporary host probe based on the second access information, whether a second monitor satisfying communication connection requirements is searched and found; and
sending, by the temporary host probe, the unbonding instruction in response to the second monitor satisfying communication connection requirements being found, and disconnecting the communication connection between the temporary host probe and the remaining probes, enabling the temporary host probe and the remaining probes to be ready to take the second access information to establish communication connection with the second monitor.

6. The probe assembly according to claim 4 , wherein while obtaining the unbonding instruction and disconnecting the communication connection between the temporary host probe and the remaining probes, the probe assembly is configured to perform operations of:
determining, by the temporary host probe, whether connection information from the second monitor is received; and
sending, by the temporary host probe, the connection information to the remaining probes in response to the connection information from the second monitor being received, sending, by the temporary host probe, the unbonding instruction, disconnecting the communication connection between the temporary host probe and the remaining probes, enabling the temporary host probe and the remaining probes to be ready to take the connection information to establish communication connection with the second monitor.

7. A management system of monitoring data, comprising: a probe assembly, a first monitor, and a second monitor, wherein the probe assembly is configured to operate cooperatively with the first monitor and the second monitor to perform the operations of:
establishing communication connection between the probe assembly and the first monitor;
receiving, by the probe assembly in response to a data-transfer instruction, first monitoring data from the first monitor; after transferring the first monitoring data being completed, disconnecting the communication connection with the first monitor;
establishing communication connection between the probe assembly and the second monitor; and
sending, by the probe assembly, at least the first monitoring data to the second monitor and performing, by the probe assembly, a monitoring task cooperatively with the second monitor;
wherein, the probe assembly comprises at least one probe;
during receiving the first monitoring data from the first monitor, one probe of the at least one probe is selected to serve as a temporary host probe to receive and store the first monitoring data; and
the communication connection between the probe assembly and the first monitor is disconnected after transmitting the first monitoring data is completed.

8. The management system according to claim 7 , wherein the data-transfer instruction comprises: first access information, and the at least one probe comprises more than one probes; and
during receiving the first monitoring data from the first monitor, one of the more than one probes is selected to serve as the temporary host probe.

9. The management system according to claim 8 , wherein the selected probe comprises: a pre-defined probe or a probe which is in a first operating state; the probe which is in the first state has a power level and/or a signal strength greater than a power and/or a signal strength of any of the remaining probes of the more than one probes; and the first access information comprises access information of the selected probe.

10. A method of managing monitoring data based on a probe assembly, comprising:
establishing, by the probe assembly, communication connection with a first monitor;
receiving, by the probe assembly in response to a data-transfer instruction, first monitoring data from the first monitor; after transferring the first monitoring data being completed, disconnecting the communication connection with the first monitor; wherein, the first monitoring data comprises: monitoring data collected by the probe assembly from a patient, emergency treatment information recorded by the first monitor, and information of the patient;
establishing, by the probe assembly, communication connection with a second monitor; and
sending, by the probe assembly, at least the firs
