A management method for a mobile device

Abstract

The present invention is a management method for mobile devices. An intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is installed on each mobile device, and a wireless and wired network converter is installed in each using department. The mobile devices are controlled through a monitoring platform, providing a basis for whether to add devices in the future and which manufacturer's devices to choose. By monitoring whether the working power of the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is battery-powered or AC-powered, it is determined whether the device is in a "shutdown" state; by detecting the power magnitude, it is determined whether the device is in a "working" or "standby" state, and by monitoring data transmission, it is determined whether the device is "lost connection", and the "fault" information is reported through the repair button. The reported information is transmitted to the monitoring platform through the wireless and wired network converter, and the monitoring platform summarizes, analyzes, and statistics the received information. Users can query the location of each device, its usage status (shutdown, working, standby, fault, etc.); the usage situation of each using department, various types of devices, and devices of each model.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to mobile device management, and more particularly to a method for managing mobile devices. Background Art

[0002] Mobile devices in medical units usually refer to small, shared general instruments such as monitors, syringe pumps, infusion pumps, etc., or less commonly used rescue devices such as defibrillators, ventilators, etc. In large and medium-sized medical units, a method of centralized management and unified scheduling is often adopted. The hospital has a device scheduling center, which is responsible for managing daily work such as lending and maintenance of devices. Each department borrows from the scheduling center when needed and returns it to the scheduling center after use. Due to various factors, sometimes it is unknown where the device is after lending it out and whether it is working, which causes certain trouble for device allocation. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to strengthen the scheduling management of mobile medical devices and keep track of the device dynamics (where it is and whether it is in a working state) at any time, with the help of the network, through central management, comprehensive monitoring of each mobile device is achieved. Most medical units have an internal network, so it is relatively easy to implement. The mobile device management method is a means of managing mobile devices, which can monitor where the mobile device is and its working state, and can also statistically analyze the usage of each using department, the performance of each mobile device (usage rate, failure rate), the usage rate and failure rate of various types of mobile devices, providing a basis for whether to add devices in the future and which manufacturer's devices to choose.

[0004] The hardware adopted by the mobile device management method includes: an intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter installed on each mobile device, a wireless and wired network converter installed in each using department, and a (server) monitoring platform.

[0005] The mobile device management method includes the following steps:

[0006] The "power supply module" detects whether the battery is working: if YES, it outputs the power supply mode "battery" and uploads the information as the output device state "shutdown"; if NO, it outputs the power supply mode "AC". When the power supply mode is "AC", the current detection outputs whether the device state is the working state: if YES, the uploaded information is the output device state "working"; if NO, the uploaded information is the output device state "standby". The "repair button" detects whether the output device is in a fault state. If the "repair button" is activated, the output device state is "fault", and the fault information is reported and transmitted to the "fault handling module" of the server; if the "repair button" is restored or has never been activated, the output device state is "working", and the working information is reported and transmitted to the "fault handling module" of the server.

[0007] The "network module" connects to the network and reports the power supply status ("AC" or "battery"), the device status ("working" or "standby"), "fault", and the location data of the device to the server.

[0008] The data reported by each intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter (except for "fault") is transmitted to the "operation data processing module", and the "operation data processing module" outputs the reported device information to the "device operation data" storage unit; the "device operation data" storage unit stores the received data.

[0009] After receiving the output device status of "fault" or "working", the "fault handling module" sends the "fault" or "working" information to the "information notification module", and the "information notification module" sends a notification to the relevant personnel through the SMS platform; at the same time, it outputs the device status of "fault" or "working" to the "device operation data" storage unit.

[0010] The "data detection module" includes the disconnection time setting and the trajectory saving time setting. The "data detection module" detects the data uploaded by each intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter. If no data is transmitted beyond the set time, the "data detection module" sends a message to the "alarm module", the "alarm module" issues an alarm prompt, reports the "disconnection" information of the output device to the "fault handling module", and fixes the trajectory. After the "data detection module" re-detects the data uploaded by the front-end power converter, it stops sending messages to the "alarm module", the "alarm module" stops the alarm prompt, interrupts reporting the "disconnection" information of the output device to the "fault handling module", and resumes the normal transmission of data.

[0011] The "operation data analysis module" calls the relevant data in the "device operation data" storage unit for targeted analysis as needed for user use. Brief Description of the Drawings

[0012] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0013] Figure 1 This is the flowchart of the present invention. Detailed Implementation Manner

[0014] To effectively supervise mobile medical devices, it is necessary to be able to monitor where each mobile device is, whether it is in the working, standby or stopped state, whether there are any faults, and whether the connection is normal, etc. Each device is connected to a specific intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter, and a dedicated number is given to each intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter. The number consists of several parts such as the device name, the manufacturer model, and the unit usage serial number. A wireless and wired network transmitter (such as a router) is set up in each using department, and the relevant data reported by the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is forwarded and transmitted through the wireless and wired network transmitter. The monitoring platform can know where each intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is and its working status, can summarize and statistically analyze the usage situation of each using department, and can summarize and statistically analyze the usage rate, failure rate, etc. of each front-end power converter (device), various types of devices, and similar devices of each manufacturer, providing data for whether the unit needs to add new devices and which manufacturer's products to purchase.

[0015] Because mobile devices need to be moved to different locations during use, there will be an interruption in alternating current for a period of time. To ensure the continuous operation of the front-end power converter, the working power of the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is divided into battery power supply or alternating current power supply; when the front-end power converter is powered by battery, it means that the corresponding device is in the stopped working state (shutdown), and when the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is powered by alternating current, it is divided into two states: working and standby according to the magnitude of the device working current. The working power of each type (unit) of device may not be the same, and the detection current value of each intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter is set according to the actual situation. When the user believes that the device has a fault, the repair button can be activated to report the output device status as "fault". After the fault is eliminated, the repair button is restored to cancel the fault information and report the output device status as "working".

[0016] According to the moving distance of the hospital mobile device, set the time (disconnection time) allowed for the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter to interrupt data transmission with the server. If the intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter does not transmit data within the specified time, it indicates a disconnection. After re-establishing the connection, new information is transmitted.

[0017] The hardware used in the management method of mobile devices includes: an intelligent mobile device front-end power adapter installed on each mobile device, a wireless network adapter installed in each using department, and a (server) monitoring platform.

[0018] The management method of mobile devices includes the following steps:

[0019] When the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device is not connected to the AC power supply or the AC power supply is abnormal, the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device is directly powered by the battery. The "power module detection" unit detects that it is the battery working and reports the information of the output power supply mode "battery", indicating that the output device status is "shutdown".

[0020] When the AC power supply is connected, the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device is powered by the alternating current. When the "power module detection" unit detects the power supply mode "AC", it cuts off the battery power supply circuit and charges the battery; the "current detection" unit starts to detect the current value of the device being carried to determine whether the device is in a working state: when the current value is greater than or equal to the set value, it reports the information of the output device status "working", and when the current value is less than the set value, it reports the information of the output device status "standby"; it reports the information of the output device status "working" or "standby".

[0021] When medical staff find that the device has abnormalities and affects normal use, they activate the "repair button", output the device status "fault", and report the fault. The information is transmitted to the "fault handling module"; after receiving the fault report information, the "fault handling module" sends the fault information to the "information notification module", and the "information notification module" sends a notification to relevant personnel through the SMS platform; at the same time, the output device status "fault" information is transmitted to the "device operation data" storage unit. After the device can work normally after being repaired or external factors are eliminated, the operator resets the "repair button", stops outputting the device status "fault" information, and reports the fault elimination information. The fault elimination information is sent to the "information notification module", the "information notification module" sends a notification to relevant personnel through the SMS platform, the fault elimination information is sent to the "fault recovery module", and the "fault recovery module" outputs the device status "working" to the "device operation data" storage unit.

[0022] After the mobile device moves from one department to another, the "network mode" unit automatically connects to the network and outputs the location; it uploads the data (information) sent by the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device. The data reported by each front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device is transmitted to the running "data processing module"; after classification and other processing by the "data processing module", the data output is transmitted to the "device operation data" storage unit;

[0023] The "data detection module" includes the disconnection time setting and the trajectory saving time setting. The disconnection time is the time allowed for the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device to interrupt data transmission to the server. The trajectory saving time is to save the moving trajectory in the recent period. The time set for trajectory saving must be greater than the set allowed disconnection time so that the moving trajectory can be retrieved retrospectively after disconnection. Trajectory fixation is to fix the moving trajectory of the front power adapter of the intelligent mobile device when it is disconnected from the server until the connection is restored.

[0024] The "Data Detection Module" detects the data uploaded by the front-end power adapter of each intelligent mobile device. If no data is transmitted beyond the set time, the "Data Detection Module" sends a message to the "Alarm Module", and the "Alarm Module" issues an alarm prompt and reports the "loss of connection" information of the output device to the "Fault Handling Module", fixing the trajectory. After the "Data Detection Module" re-detects the data uploaded by the front-end power converter, it stops sending messages to the "Alarm Module", the "Alarm Module" stops the alarm prompt, interrupts reporting the "loss of connection" information of the output device to the "Fault Handling Module", resumes the normal transmission of data, and the fixed trajectory is eliminated.

[0025] The "Alarm Module" includes: fault alarm and loss-of-connection alarm.

[0026] The "Operation Data Analysis Module" calls relevant data from the "Device Operation Data" storage unit for targeted analysis as needed and publishes relevant information. It can display the location and working status of each moving device; the usage situation of each using department, the performance (usage rate, failure rate) of each mobile device, the statistical summary of the usage rate and failure rate of various mobile devices.
