Abstract

A medical device includes: a processor; a display; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to create an interface on the display, the interface including: a plurality of vital signs data positioned on the interface, with each vital sign being displayed in an enlarged font and being listed in order of importance; and a control for accessing other functionality of the medical device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A medical device comprising:
a processor; a display; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to create an interface on the display, the interface including:
a plurality of vital signs data positioned on the interface, with each vital sign being displayed in an enlarged font and being listed in order of importance; and
a control for accessing other functionality of the medical device.

2 . The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the vital signs data is positioned vertically on the interface.

3 . The medical device of claim 2 , wherein the vital signs data is listed from most important to least important.

4 . The medical device of claim 1 , wherein a font size for one or more of the vital signs data is varied.

5 . The medical device of claim 1 , wherein a font color for one or more of the vital signs data is varied.

6 . The medical device of claim 1 , wherein only numerical data is displayed on the medical device.

7 . The medical device of claim 1 , wherein the interface is displayed as a lock screen.

8 . The medical device of claim 7 , wherein the lock screen is displayed automatically when the medical device is inactive for a period of time.

9 . A medical device comprising:
a processor; a display; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to create a lock screen interface on the display, the lock screen interface including:
a plurality of vital signs data positioned on the lock screen interface, with each vital sign being displayed in an enlarged font and being listed in a vertical orientation in order of importance; and
a control for unlocking the medical device.

10 . The medical device of claim 9 , wherein a font size for one or more of the vital signs data is varied.

11 . The medical device of claim 10 , wherein a font color for one or more of the vital signs data is varied.

12 . The medical device of claim 11 , wherein only numerical data is displayed on the medical device.

13 . The medical device of claim 9 , wherein a font color for one or more of the vital signs data is varied.

14 . The medical device of claim 9 , wherein only numerical data is displayed on the medical device.

15 . The medical device of claim 9 , wherein the lock screen interface is displayed automatically when the medical device is inactive for a period of time.

16 . The medical device of claim 9 , wherein the vital signs data is listed in two columns.

17 . A medical device comprising:
a processor; a display; and memory encoding instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to create a lock screen interface on the display, the lock screen interface including:
a plurality of vital signs data positioned on the lock screen interface, with each vital sign being displayed in an enlarged font and being listed in a vertical orientation in order of importance, wherein a font size for one or more of the vital signs data is varied, and wherein a font color for one or more of the vital signs data is varied; and
a control for unlocking the medical device.

18 . The medical device of claim 17 , wherein the lock screen interface is displayed automatically when the medical device is inactive for a period of time.

19 . The medical device of claim 17 , wherein the vital signs data is listed in two columns.

20 . The medical device of claim 17 , wherein only numerical data is displayed on the medical device.
