International Classification:

G06F 17/30
G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707101, 707 4, 707102

Abstract:

Systems management navigation and focus collection is described. In one implementation computing-based managed items which are part of a systems management environment are navigated to locate one or more computing-based managed items. In another implementation, the computing-based managed items are indexed, and then searched to locate one or more of the computing-based managed items from among the computing-based managed items which have been indexed. The searching can be based on one or more search requests. Each of the one or more computing-based managed items located by the navigating and/or the searching is identified by a respective unique identifier, and selected ones of the unique identifiers can be collected in a focus collection where they are at least temporarily maintained for a user.

International Classification:

G06F 7/00

US Classification:

707634, 707659

Abstract:

A configuration management database for storing configuration information about an IT system. The configuration management database may have representations of configuration items that correspond to configuration items in the IT system, indicia of relations between the configuration items, and attributes of the configuration items. The configuration management database may also have configuration state information of the configuration items, where the configuration state information has information indicating whether a configuration item, relation, or attribute is in a state of pending approval or in a state of planned deployment. The configuration management database may also have temporal information indicating a temporal state of a configuration item, relation, or attribute.

Inventors:

Jeffrey Klein - Decatur GA, US
Andrew Hopper - Tucker GA, US

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/002000

Abstract:

A data management system accepts input documents having a variety of formats from multiple sources. Typically one or more formats are associated with a source. A document reader parses an input documents using a set of rules. The rules are tailored to the source that provided the document. The rules use format and context to extract data. The data extracted from the input document is stored in a document database and indexed. Typically, demographic data and clinical data are extracted from the input document and the demographic data is used to index the document.

International Classification:

G06F017/60

US Classification:

705/002000

Abstract:

A system and method for providing medical care to a patient via a virtual call center, regardless of the patient's location and a medical care agent's location, is disclosed. A patient digital processor allows a patient to provide a patient profile to the medical care system that is received by a medical care digital processor. A medical care agent digital processor allows a medical care agent to provide their characteristics to the medical care digital processor. Upon patient initiation, the medical care processor analyzes the patient profile to determine an appropriate medical care agent to address the patient's medical queries. A connection is then made between the patient digital processor and the medical care agent digital processor to allow “real time” interaction. Additional medical care agents may be added to the connection for additional medical analysis and input.

International Classification:

G06F 1300

US Classification:

709230

Abstract:

The present invention provides a packet-based telemedicine system for communicating video, voice and medical data between a central monitoring station and a patient monitoring station which is remotely-located with respect to the central monitoring station. The patient monitoring station obtains digital video, voice and medical measurement data from a patient and encapsulates the data in packets and sends the packets over a network to the central monitoring station. Since the information is encapsulated in packets, the information can be sent over multiple types or combinations of network architectures, including a Community access Television (CATV) network, the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), the Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), the Internet, a local area network (LAN), a wide are network (WAN), over a wireless communications network, or over an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) network. Thus, a separate transmission protocol is not required for each different type of transmission media. Rather, a single transport/network layer protocol is used for encapsulating the information in packets at the sending end and for de-encapsulating the information at the receiving end.

US Classification:

709202

Abstract:

A patient monitoring system for use in a telemedicine system that allows multiple medical devices to communicate with a control unit via an interface that uses a single interrupt. In architecture, the system can be implemented in hardware, or a combination of hardware and software, and is more particularly implemented as follows: A plurality of medical devices are connected to a control unit via a device interface that uses a single interrupt in the transmission of data from the medical devices to the control unit. When a medical device has data to transmit to the control unit, the medical device transmits data to the device interface, and the device interface uses its single interrupt line in the transmission of data to the control unit.
