Abstract

An information processing system includes one or more processors, an acceptance unit configured to accept a specification of one piece of medical information in a set of a plurality of pieces of medical information being displayed on a display unit, a selection unit configured to select reference medical information from the set of medical information based on an associatin between a type of the specified medical information and a type of medical information which belongs to the set of medical information and which is different from the specified medical information, and a change unit configured to change an appearance of the reference medical information to an appearance different from an appearance of medical information other than the reference medical information in the set of the plurality of pieces of medical information.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An information processing system comprising:
one or more processors; an acceptance unit configured to accept a specification of one piece of medical information in a set of medical information being displayed on a display unit; a selection unit configured to select reference medical information from the set of medical information based on an association between a type of the specified medical information and a type of medical information which belongs to the set of medical information and which is different from the specified medical information; and a change unit configured to change an appearance of the reference medical information to an appearance different from an appearance of medical information other than the reference medical information in the set of medical information.

2 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select medical information as the reference medical information to be referred to by a user together with the specified medical information.

3 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the change unit is configured to change the appearance of the specified medical information to an appearance different from an appearance of medical information other than the specified medical information in the set of medical information.

4 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select the reference medical information by referring, based on the association between the type of the specified medical information and the type of the other medical information, to a selection condition which is condition for selecting the reference medical information and which is set in advance.

5 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , further comprising an extraction unit configured to extract a selection condition associated to the type of specified medical information from a first storage unit in which selection conditions are stored in associated to types of specified medical information; and
wherein the selection unit is configured to select the reference medical information by referring to the selection condition extracted by the extraction unit.

6 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select reference medical information such that in a case where a plurality of selection conditions are extracted for the specified medical information, the selection unit selects reference medical information for each of a plurality of extracted selection conditions.

7 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , wherein the change unit is configured to change appearances of the plurality of pieces of reference medical information selected according to the respective selection conditions to appearances different from each other.

8 . The information processing system according to claim 6 , further comprising a display processing unit configured to display, on the display unit, an association defined in a selection condition associated to each of the plurality of pieces of reference medical information.

9 . The information processing system according to claim 5 , the selection unit is configured to select reference medical information such that in a case where a plurality of selection conditions are extracted for the specified medical information, according to one of the plurality of extracted selection conditions.

10 . The information processing system according to claim 9 , wherein
the selection unit is configured to select reference medical information such that in a case where a command to switch the selection condition is accepted, the selection unit selects reference medical information according to a second selection condition which is included in the plurality of selection conditions extracted for the specified medical information and which is different from the one of the selection conditions, and the change unit is configured to change an appearance of the reference medical information selected according to the second selection condition to an appearance different from an appearance of medical information other than the reference medical information, and return the appearance of the reference medical information selected according to the one of the selection conditions to the previous appearance employed before the appearance is changed.

11 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the selection condition further includes a condition for specifying a type of the reference medical information.

12 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select the reference medical information such that association information associated to the specified medical information is acquired from a second storage unit in which association information indicating the association of the specified medical information is stored in association with the specified medical information, and the reference medical information is selected based on the acquired association information.

13 . The information processing system according to claim 12 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select reference medical information such that in a case where a plurality of pieces of association information are associated to one piece of specified medical information, based on each of the plurality of pieces of association information.

14 . The information processing system according to claim 13 , wherein the change unit is configured to change appearances of the plurality of pieces of reference medical information selected based on the respective pieces of association information to appearances different from each other.

15 . The information processing system according to claim 4 , wherein the selection unit is configured to select reference medical information such that association information associated to the specified medical information is acquired from a second storage unit in which the specified medical information is stored in association with the association information indicating the association of the specified medical information, and associated medical information associated with the specified medical information is selected based on the acquired association information and then, based on the selection condition, the reference medical information is selected from the associated medical information.

16 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein the change unit is configured to highlight the appearance of the reference medical information.

17 . The information processing system according to claim 1 , wherein changing the appearance includes one or more of:
changing a display frame of the reference medical information so as to be displayed in a line that thicker than a line used to display the medical information other than the reference medical information; changing a line type of the display frame of the reference medical information so as to be different from a line type used by the medical information other than the reference medical information; changing a color of the display frame of the reference medical information so as to be different from a color used by the medical information other than the reference medical information; changing a background color of the reference medical information so as to be different from a background color used by the medical information other than the reference medical information; and c
