发明名称 User installed applications in a physiological parameter display device
摘要 A physiological parameter display device displays data representing the current values of one or more physiological parameters of a patient. The device has an operating system that does not allow multiple-program execution. A program runs on the operating system. The program provides functionality that gives a user of the device an ability to install virtual applications on the device. In addition, the program provides functionality that gives the user an ability to run the virtual applications on the device while the device continues to display data representing the current value of the physiological parameter of the patient.

主权项 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a physiological parameter display device, a signal indicative of a current value of a physiological parameter of a patient; executing, by the physiological parameter display device, an operating system that does not allow multiple-program execution; executing, by the physiological parameter display device, a single program that runs on the operating system, the program providing to a user an ability to install applications on the physiological parameter display device and an ability to run the applications on the physiological parameter display device while the physiological parameter display device continues to display data representing the current value of the physiological parameter of the patient, wherein the applications are discrete sets of functionality provided by the physiological parameter display device to the user, andwherein each application operates within the single program; causing a display unit of the physiological parameter display device to display an app selection interface, the app selection interface comprising controls that allow the user to select one of the applications to run on the physiological parameter display device; receiving an app selection input via the app selection interface, the app selection input indicating a given application; and using a thread within the program to run the given application.
