Monitoring system, data transmission method, portable monitor, and configurator

A monitoring system, comprising:

• a portable patient monitor;
• and
• a configurator fixed inside a ward or beside a hospital bed, wherein the configurator is used for storing description information,
• wherein the portable patient monitor and the configurator are in a detachable mechanical connection with each other, and the portable patient monitor is configured to work independently after the portable patient monitor and the configurator are mechanically separated,
• wherein the portable patient monitor comprises:
• a measurement module that collects physiological data of a patient;
• a communication module that has access to a network for a hospital and performs data transmission of the physiological data;
• a first connection detection circuit that is configured to output a control signal after detecting that the portable patient monitor is connected with the configurator;
• and
• a processor that obtains the description information from the configurator based on the control signal, and configures the portable patient monitor according to the obtained description information.

A data transmission method for a portable patient monitor, the data transmission method comprising:

• collecting physiological data of a patient;
• obtaining description information, the description information comprising network configuration information and position setting information;
• performing network configuration according to the network configuration information in the description information, and accessing to a network device in a network for a hospital;
• and
• sending physiological data and the position setting information to the network device in the network for the hospital when the collected physiological data needs to be sent to a server.

A portable patient monitor, comprising:

• a measurement module that collects physiological data of a patient;
• a communication module that accesses to a network for a hospital and performs data transmission of the physiological data;
• a first connection detection circuit that is configured to output a control signal after detecting that the portable patient monitor has been connected to a configurator, wherein the configurator and the portable patient monitor are mechanically separated;
• and
• a processor that obtains description information from the configurator based on the control signal, and performs configuration on the portable patient monitor according to the obtained description information, wherein the description information comprises at least one of network configuration information and device configuration information.
