Abstract
A system and method for failsafe storage of real-time data, for example, relating to a hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis treatment, includes: temporarily storing the real-time data in a ring buffer memory; pre-allocating a set of storage units of a storage medium, which is supplied with an operating voltage, for storing the real-time data in a file system; and based on the operating voltage of the storage medium being within a predefined reference range, transferring the real-time data from the ring buffer memory to the storage medium and storing the real-time data on a storage unit of the storage medium. In case of error, the integrity, authenticity, and availability of the stored real-time data are ensured.
Claims28
A method for failsafe storage of real-time data relating to a medical treatment, comprising:
- temporarily storing the real-time data in a ring buffer memory;
- pre-allocating a set of storage units of a storage medium, which is supplied with an operating voltage, for storing the real-time data in a file system;
- and
- transferring the real-time data from the ring buffer memory to the storage medium and storing the real-time data on a storage unit of the storage medium only if the operating voltage of the storage medium is within a predefined reference range.
A method for failsafe storage of real-time data, comprising:
- temporarily storing the real-time data in a ring buffer memory;
- pre-allocating a set of storage units of a storage medium, which is supplied with an operating voltage, for storing the real-time data in a file system;
- and
- based on the operating voltage of the storage medium being within a predefined reference range, transferring the real-time data from the ring buffer memory to the storage medium and storing the real-time data on a storage unit of the storage medium.
A device, comprising:
- sensors configured for recording real-time data;
- a data interface configured for data transfer of the real-time data;
- a storage medium configured to be supplied with an operating voltage and written with the real-time data via the data interface, wherein a set of storage units of the storage medium is pre-allocated for storing the real-time data in a file system of the storage medium;
- and
- a ring buffer memory for temporarily storing the real-time data;
- wherein the device is configured to transfer the real-time data from the ring buffer memory to the storage medium and to store the real-time data on a storage unit of the storage medium based on a measured value of the operating voltage being within a predefined reference range.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium having processor-executable instructions stored thereon for failsafe storage of real-time data, wherein the processor-executable instructions, when executed, facilitate:
- temporarily storing the real-time data in a ring buffer memory;
- pre-allocating a set of storage units of a storage medium, which is supplied with an operating voltage, for storing the real-time data in a file system;
- and
- based on the operating voltage of the storage medium being within a predefined reference range, transferring the real-time data from the ring buffer memory to the storage medium and storing the real-time data on a storage unit of the storage medium.
