Abstract:

A method and apparatus is disclosed for operating a medical device with a screen having an improved graphical user interface, which selectively reallocates screen display for both single and multi-channel pumps. Channel indicators associate operation information with a specific delivery channel. Patient or drug order verification is facilitated with a rendering of the patient or the entire drug order/label on the screen. Decimal numbers are presented in vertically offset decimal format. A dual function button cancels the current operation and, after a delay, clears entered parameters. An area sensitive scrollbar cycles through information at various speeds. Screen brightness is adjusted based on an ambient light detector. A screen saver mode activates based on several operating conditions. The screen is incorporated in a removable user interface.

Abstract:

A method for determining a bill mix in an electronic cash dispenser comprises: receiving a transaction request comprised of a transaction type and a dispense amount; evaluating the transaction type; evaluating the dispense amount; and determining the bill mix according to a dispense definition based on a plurality of criteria including transaction type and dispense amount. The method may further include evaluating day of the transaction request, time of the transaction request, patron information such as player tracking data, and/or bill inventory level. The method may also include receiving patron preference input. The dispense definition may comprise a minimum definition that defines a minimum quantity for each bill denomination to include in the bill mix. If a remainder exists after the minimum definition is applied to the dispense amount, the dispense definition may further comprises a remainder definition that calculates a remainder bill mix based on a least note methodology.
