Abstract
A system configured to synchronize the displays of multiple infusion pumps is provided. In some embodiments, the system includes a plurality of infusion pumps in communication with a server. An individual infusion pump synchronizes its internal clock by communicating with the server. Based on the synchronized internal clock, the infusion pump determines the current time, calculates a parameter based on the current time, and causes screen content corresponding to the calculated parameter to be displayed.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- a display;
- a clock;
- one or more processors in communication with the display and the clock;
- and
- one or more memories storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to:
- determine a current time based at least in part on the clock;
- determine a display period length indicative of a duration for which at least one metric is to be displayed on the display;
- determine, based at least in part on the current time and the display period length, a first metric to be displayed on the display;
- cause the first metric to be displayed on the display;
- and
- before the first metric is displayed on the display for the duration indicated by the display period length, cause the display to transition from displaying the first metric to displaying a second metric that is different from the first metric.
8 more elements
A method comprising:
- determining a current time based at least in part on a clock associated with a networked device;
- determining a display period length indicative of a duration for which at least one metric is to be displayed on a display of the networked device;
- determining, based at least in part on the current time and the display period length, a first metric to be displayed on the display;
- displaying the first metric on the display;
- and
- before the first metric is displayed on the display for the duration indicated by the display period length, transitioning from displaying the first metric on the display to displaying a second metric on the display, wherein the second metric is different from the first metric.
3 more elements
A system comprising:
- a server;
- and
- a plurality of networked devices in networked communication with the server, wherein a first networked device of the plurality of networked devices comprises a display and a clock, wherein the first networked device is configured to at least:
- determine a current time based at least in part on the clock;
- determine a display period length indicative of a duration for which at least one metric is to be displayed on the display;
- determine, based at least in part on the current time and the display period length, a first metric to be displayed on the display;
- cause the first metric to be displayed on the display;
- and
- before the first metric is displayed on the display for the duration indicated by the display period length, cause the display to transition from displaying the first metric to displaying a second metric that is different from the first metric.
