Appl. No.:

11/407529

Inventors:

David Torok - Philadelphia PA, US
Jeffrey Gardiner - Phoenixville PA, US

Christopher Gardner - Charlotte NC, US
William Boggs - Acworth GA, US
Robert D. Williamson - Columbus OH, US

Assignee:

Siemens Medical Solutions USA, Inc. - Malvern PA

International Classification:

G06F 15/16

US Classification:

709200, 705 3

Abstract:

A system automatically establishes context information (e. g. , determining changes to user interface workflows, screens, menus, and access requirements for devices such as monitors, ventilators, and diagnostic equipment) used by a worker in using healthcare information applications based on patient geographic location (e. g. , a room or bed or department). The system addresses the need for a user to sign onto a system with each location change and manually change context information which consumes computer, server and network resources and represent a potential security problem. A healthcare system selects information to be provided to a user in response to received location dependent context data. The system includes a proximity detector for wirelessly detecting presence of an identification tag substantially within a predetermined vicinity of the detector. The identification tag is associated with at least one of, (a) a particular processing device and (b) a particular person.

US Classification:

709227, 709203, 709217, 7042701

Abstract:

A system enables clinicians to use naturally spoken voice commands from a small, wearable, wireless badge (or other portable device) to trigger events including, application session transfer, wireless communications (such as voice calls) and control of electronic devices. A system for managing user operation sessions on multiple servers includes an interface for receiving, from a first workstation, a request to initiate a current session of operation of a particular executable application on a first server and user identification information from a particular user. A session processor, in response to the received particular user identification information, identifies an active session of operation of the particular user on a second server previously initiated via a second workstation and re-attaches connection of the previously initiated active session of operation to the first workstation as the current session in response to a user voice command.

US Classification:

709230000, 709203000

Abstract:

A system automatically seizes a session that is actively connected to a device and attaches it to a different device. A system manages user operation sessions on a plurality of servers. The system includes an interface for receiving, from a first workstation, a request to initiate a current session of operation of a particular executable application on a first server and user identification information from a particular user. In response to the received particular user identification information, a session processor identifies an active session of operation of the particular user on a second server previously initiated via a second workstation and re-attaches connection of the previously initiated active session of operation to the first workstation as the current session.
