Abstract
A respiratory therapy device, which may include a flow generator, is provided. The RPT device includes a touch screen display that displays user interface screens to a user and accepts input from users to control parameters and functionality of the RPT device (e.g., a flow generator).
Claims19
A positive airway pressure (PAP) system comprising:
- a flow generator configured to generate a supply of air at a positive pressure relative to ambient pressure;
- a touch screen display configured to accept touch input provided by a user to control a pressure level of the positive pressure that is generated by the controllable motor-blower;
- at least one hardware processor configured to:
- output a first pressure control user interface display screen to the touch screen display for display thereon, the first pressure control user interface display screen including a plurality of numbers that indicate pressure values;
- while the first pressure control user interface display screen is displayed, accept a first touch input to select a first number out of the plurality of numbers;
- while the first pressure control user interface display screen is displayed and after acceptance of the first touch input, accept a second touch input to select a second number out of the plurality of numbers;
- change how the first and second numbers are displayed within the first pressure control user interface display screen based on selection thereof;
- cause, based on the first and second numbers, the pressure level of the positive air pressure to be controlled;
- and
- based on a selection of a decimal button on the first pressure control user interface display screen, output a second pressure user interface display screen to the touch screen display for display thereon;
- wherein the second pressure control user interface display screen include a plurality of decimal values for selection.

A positive airway pressure (PAP) system comprising:
- a controllable motor-blower configured to generate a supply of air at a positive pressure relative to ambient pressure;
- a touch screen display configured to accept touch input provided by a user to control a pressure level of the positive pressure that is generated by the controllable motor-blower;
- at least one hardware processor configured to:
- output a first pressure control user interface display screen to the touch screen display for display thereon, the first pressure control user interface display screen including a plurality of integer numbers that indicate a pressure value;
- while the first pressure control user interface display screen is displayed, accept a first touch input to select a first number out of the plurality of integer numbers;
- in response to a second touch input, output a second pressure control user interface display screen to the touch screen display that includes a plurality of non-integer numbers displayed therein;
- while the second pressure control user interface display screen is displayed, accept a third touch input to select a second number out of the plurality of non-integer numbers;
- based on confirmation of selection of the second number, show the first pressure control user interface display screen and adjust how the first number is displayed to include the second number;
- and
- control the positive pressure that is generated by the controllable motor-blower based on the first and second numbers.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium configured to store computer executable instructions for use with a processing system that includes at least one hardware processor, the stored computer executable instructions comprising instructions that cause the processing system to:
- output a first pressure control user interface display screen to a display device that is coupled to the processing system, the first pressure control user interface display screen including a plurality of numbers that indicate pressure values that correspond to positive pressure levels, relative to ambient pressure, that a flow generator is configured to provide as part of positive airway pressure (PAP) to a patient;
- while the first pressure control user interface display screen is displayed, accept a first touch input to select a first number out of the plurality of numbers that are displayed;
- while the first pressure control user interface display screen is displayed and after acceptance of the first touch input, accept a second touch input to select a second number out of the plurality of numbers;
- change how the first and second numbers are displayed within the first pressure control user interface display screen based on selection thereof;
- cause, based on the first and second numbers, the flow generator to control the pressure level at which the positive airway pressure (PAP) is provided to the patient;
- and
- based on selection of a decimal button on the first pressure control user interface display screen, output a second pressure control user interface display screen to the touch screen display for display thereon;
- wherein the second pressure control user interface display screen include a plurality of decimal values for selection.
