Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical devices, and more particularly to a ventilation device and a user interface display method. Background Technology

[0002] Humidifiers are common medical devices in hospital departments such as intensive care units, emergency departments, operating rooms, and general wards. They are usually used in conjunction with ventilation equipment such as ventilators and anesthesia machines to heat and humidify the medical gases produced by these devices. This provides patients with inhaled gases that are closer to the body temperature and humidification environment, enhancing the humidification function of the patient's airway, thereby better expelling airway secretions. At the same time, it can also reduce discomfort such as dry mouth and tongue.

[0003] To enhance the applicability of ventilation equipment in various scenarios, related technologies enable the equipment to connect with multiple types of humidifiers. This allows users to select the appropriate humidifier based on their specific needs. For instance, non-invasive ventilation can be performed in general hospital wards and home environments. Due to limited space, users often opt for detachable humidifiers. These humidifiers offer basic humidification level adjustments and can be directly installed on the ventilator as accessories, minimizing space requirements. In intensive care units or geriatric wards, users choose more powerful, external, independent humidifiers with superior humidification capabilities to better facilitate the drainage of airway secretions.

[0004] However, the compatibility of ventilation equipment with multiple different types of humidifiers may pose certain operational risks. For example, healthcare workers must confirm the type of humidifier to be connected to the ventilation equipment before starting ventilation therapy, which reduces operational efficiency to some extent and affects the timely implementation of ventilation therapy. Another example is that healthcare workers may mistakenly connect different types of humidifiers to a single ventilation device at the same time, leading to over-humidification. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the related technical problems, this application provides a ventilation device and a user interface display method.

[0006] The technical solution of this application embodiment is implemented as follows:

[0007] This application provides a ventilation device, which includes: a ventilation unit, a first interface, a second interface, a processor, and a display device. The ventilation device supports connection to at least two types of humidifiers.

[0008] The first interface and the second interface are used to connect to different types of humidifiers, respectively;

[0009] The processor is configured to monitor the connection status of the first interface and the second interface, obtain monitoring results, and control the display device to output a display page that matches the monitoring results; wherein, when the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the first interface or the second interface, the processor controls the display device to output a display page that matches the type of humidifier connected to the first interface or the second interface.

[0010] The ventilation device is used to output gas flow to a humidifier connected to the ventilation equipment, so that the gas flow is humidified by the humidifier and then delivered to the patient.

[0011] This application embodiment also provides a user interface display method applied to a ventilation device, the ventilation device being configured with a first interface and a second interface, the first interface and the second interface being used to connect to different types of humidifiers respectively;

[0012] The method includes:

[0013] Monitor the connection status of the first interface and the second interface to obtain the monitoring results;

[0014] Output a display page that matches the monitoring results; wherein,

[0015] If the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the first interface or the second interface, a display page matching the type of the humidifier connected to the first interface or the second interface will be output.

[0016] In the ventilation device and user interface display method provided in this application embodiment, for a ventilation device that supports connection to at least two types of humidifiers via different interfaces, the device displays a page matching the monitoring results based on the monitoring of interface connection status. Specifically, if a humidifier is detected connected to the first interface, the ventilation device displays a page matching the type of the humidifier connected to the first interface; similarly, if a humidifier is detected connected to the second interface, the device displays a page matching the type of the humidifier connected to the second interface. In this scheme, the ventilation device can determine the type of humidifier currently connected to the device based on interface monitoring, and thus display a page matching that type. This allows users to intuitively obtain the connection status of the ventilation device and humidifier through the device's display, enabling efficient ventilation diagnosis and treatment and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, based on the ventilation device's display, users can promptly detect situations where multiple or incorrect humidifiers are connected to the ventilation device, reducing operational risks.

[0026] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. In the following embodiments, many details are described to facilitate a better understanding of the present application. However, those skilled in the art will readily recognize that some features may be omitted in different situations, or may be replaced by other elements, materials, or methods.

[0027] Furthermore, the features, operations, or characteristics described in the specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner to form various embodiments. At the same time, the order of the steps or actions in the method description can be changed or adjusted in a manner obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, the various orders in the specification and drawings are only for the clear description of a particular embodiment and do not imply a necessary order, unless otherwise stated that a particular order must be followed.

[0028] The serial numbers assigned to components in this document, such as "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish the objects being described and have no sequential or technical meaning.

[0029] Humidifiers are common medical devices in hospital departments such as intensive care units, emergency departments, operating rooms, and general wards. They are usually used in conjunction with ventilation equipment such as ventilators and anesthesia machines to heat and humidify the medical gases produced by these devices. This provides patients with inhaled gases that are closer to the body temperature and humidification environment of the human body, enhancing the humidification function of the patient's airway, thereby better expelling airway secretions. At the same time, it can also reduce discomfort such as dry mouth and tongue.

[0030] At present, the humidifiers commonly used in clinical practice include at least the following two types: detachable humidifiers and external independent humidifiers. Figure 1 An example exploded view of a ventilator connected to a detachable humidifier is shown, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the detachable humidifier 100 includes a pluggable heating module 110 and a water tank 120. The heating plate and airway connectors are disposed in the heating module 110. The ventilator main unit 200, the heating module 110, and the water tank 120 can be configured to... Figure 1 Assembly is performed by connecting the heating module 110 to the ventilator main unit 200 and the water tank 120 to the heating module 110. After the ventilator main unit 200, heating module 110, and water tank 120 are assembled as described above, the detachable humidifier 100 is physically connected to the ventilator main unit 200, forming an integrated device. A gas flow path is established from the outlet of the ventilator main unit 200 through the water tank to the outlet of the detachable humidifier 100 via the gas path connector. After the physical connection is established, the ventilator main unit 200 can supply power to the detachable humidifier 100 through an interface, causing the heating plate to generate heat energy, thereby heating the sterile water for injection in the water tank. In this way, the gas flow output from the outlet of the ventilator main unit 200 is heated and humidified in the water tank, and finally delivered to the inspiratory branch through the outlet of the detachable humidifier 100, and then transmitted to the patient.

[0031] from Figure 1 As can be seen, detachable humidifiers can be modularly installed directly onto the ventilator unit, forming a compact, integrated device that can be placed in a bedside table or other suitable space. In practical applications, detachable humidifiers typically have basic humidification level adjustment functions. The humidification level of the detachable humidifier can be directly set on the ventilator, and the current humidification level is displayed. The detachable humidifier outputs gas streams of different humidity levels depending on the humidification level setting. The higher the humidification level, the higher the degree of humidification of the output gas stream, and vice versa, thus meeting the humidification needs of different types of patients.

[0032] Figure 2 An example of a ventilator connected to an external standalone humidifier is shown, see reference. Figure 2 The external independent humidifier 300 is connected to the ventilator main unit 200 via a short tube. Specifically, the air outlet of the ventilator main unit 200 is connected to the air inlet of the water tank of the external independent humidifier 300 via the short tube. The water tank of the external independent humidifier 300 is equipped with a water inlet, which can be connected to a syringe or infusion set. Sterile water for injection is added to the water tank of the external independent humidifier 300 through the water inlet by the syringe or infusion set. The air outlet of the water tank of the external independent humidifier 300 is connected to one end of the inspiratory branch. Figure 2 In this configuration, the external independent humidifier 300 is powered independently to generate heat energy in the heating plate, thereby heating the liquid in the water tank. Thus, based on the above connection example, when the ventilator is working, the gas flow output from the ventilator's outlet is heated and humidified in the water tank, and finally delivered to the inspiratory branch through the outlet of the detachable humidifier 300 and transmitted to the patient.

[0033] In practical applications, such as Figure 2 As shown, external independent humidifiers are typically placed in the ventilator cart, below the main unit. These humidifiers usually have an operation panel and display panel for parameter configuration and / or monitoring, and given... Figure 1 The image shows the placement of the external independent humidifier. Healthcare workers typically need to bend over to view and operate the external independent humidifier. Compared to detachable humidifiers, external independent humidifiers have more powerful functions, such as temperature setting and monitoring. Furthermore, external independent humidifiers can use heating tubing to prevent the heated humidified gas from condensing, thus providing patients with more effective humidified gas.

[0034] It can be seen that the two commonly used types of humidifiers currently employ different connection methods to physically connect with ventilation equipment. To improve the applicability of ventilation equipment in different scenarios, related technologies design ventilation equipment to be compatible with multiple types of humidifiers. This allows users to choose different types of humidifiers based on specific scenarios. For example, non-invasive ventilation can be performed in general hospital wards and home environments. Due to limited space, users often choose detachable humidifiers to avoid occupying too much space. However, in scenarios such as intensive care units or geriatric wards, patients experience increased airway secretions, with increased viscous components in the secretions. Simultaneously, weakened mucosal ciliary movement hinders the drainage of secretions from the airway, easily leading to mucus retention. Therefore, users will choose more powerful, external, independent humidifiers with better humidification effects to better assist in the drainage of airway secretions.

[0035] However, the compatibility of ventilation equipment with multiple different types of humidifiers may pose certain operational risks. For example, healthcare workers must confirm the type of humidifier to be connected to the ventilation equipment before starting ventilation therapy, which reduces operational efficiency to some extent and affects the timely implementation of ventilation therapy. Another example is that healthcare workers may mistakenly connect different types of humidifiers to the same ventilation equipment at the same time, resulting in over-humidification or overheating.

[0036] Based on this, in various embodiments of this application, for ventilation devices that support connection to at least two types of humidifiers via different interfaces, the ventilation device displays a page matching the monitoring results based on the monitoring of interface connection status. Specifically, if a humidifier is detected connected to the first interface, the ventilation device displays a page matching the type of the humidifier connected to the first interface; similarly, if a humidifier is detected connected to the second interface, the ventilation device displays a page matching the type of the humidifier connected to the second interface. In this scheme, the ventilation device can determine the type of humidifier currently connected to the ventilation device based on interface monitoring, and thus display a page matching that type. This allows users to intuitively obtain the connection status between the ventilation device and the humidifier through the ventilation device's display. Based on this, appropriate operations can be performed according to the humidifier type, enabling efficient ventilation diagnosis and treatment and improving operational efficiency. Furthermore, based on the ventilation device's display, users can promptly detect situations where multiple or incorrect humidifiers are connected to the ventilation device, reducing operational risks.

[0037] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0038] This application provides a ventilation device, referring to... Figure 3 The ventilation device includes a ventilation unit 301, a first interface 302, a second interface 303, a processor 304, and a display device 305, and the ventilation device supports connection with at least two types of humidifiers.

[0039] The first interface 302 and the second interface 303 are used to connect different types of humidifiers, respectively.

[0040] The processor 304 is used to monitor the connection status of the first interface 302 and the second interface 303, obtain the monitoring results, and control the display device 305 to output a display page that matches the monitoring results.

[0041] In cases where the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the first interface 302 or the second interface 303, the processor 304 controls the display device 305 to output a display page that matches the type of humidifier connected to the first interface or the second interface.

[0042] Ventilation device 301 is used to output gas flow to a humidifier connected to the ventilation equipment, so that the gas flow is humidified by the humidifier and then delivered to the patient.

[0043] Here, the ventilation device 301 is used in some embodiments to implement ventilator-related functions, and in other embodiments to implement anesthesia machine-related functions. A ventilator is an artificial mechanical ventilation device used to assist or control a patient's spontaneous breathing movements to achieve gas exchange in the lungs, reduce the body's energy expenditure, and facilitate the recovery of respiratory function. The gas stream output by a ventilator is typically oxygen, or a mixture of oxygen and air. An anesthesia machine is mainly used to provide anesthetic gases and control the amount of anesthetic gas inhaled by the patient. The gas stream output by an anesthesia machine is typically oxygen, nitrous oxide (laughing gas), and / or air, and the gas stream contains a mixture of anesthetic drugs.

[0044] Processor 304 can be an integrated circuit chip with signal processing capabilities, enabling the various steps related to processor 304 in the embodiments of this application to be completed by the integrated logic circuits in the hardware of processor 304 or by instructions in software form. Processor 304 can be a general-purpose processor, DSP, or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc.

[0045] Display device 305 is used to display the display interface of the ventilation equipment.

[0046] Specifically, the display device 305 includes, but is not limited to, display modules based on display technologies such as Liquid Crystal Display (LCD), Light-Emitting Diode (LED), and Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED). The display interface displayed by the display device 305 can be understood as a graphical interface supporting human-computer interaction. One or more controls are set on this graphical interface so that users can trigger these controls by inputting operation commands, thereby performing corresponding operations on the ventilation equipment. Furthermore, the display device 305 may have a touchscreen function, allowing users to trigger controls on the graphical interface through touchscreen operations.

[0047] In practical applications, ventilation equipment may also include a storage device for storing instructions executed by a processor. The storage device can be volatile memory or non-volatile memory, or both. Non-volatile memory can be read-only memory, programmable read-only memory, erasable programmable read-only memory, electrically erasable programmable read-only memory, magnetic random access memory, flash memory, magnetic surface memory, optical disc, or read-only optical disc; magnetic surface memory can be disk storage or magnetic tape storage. Volatile memory can be random access memory, etc.

[0048] It should be understood that Figure 3 The components included in the ventilation equipment shown are merely illustrative. In actual applications, more components may be included, which are not limited here.

[0049] In practical applications, different types of humidifiers have different interfaces with ventilators. Therefore, in the embodiments of this application, the ventilation device supports connection with at least two types of humidifiers. This can also be understood as the ventilation device having at least two different interfaces, each of which is used to connect at least one type of humidifier.

[0050] In one embodiment, the humidifier includes a first type of humidifier and a second type of humidifier. Correspondingly, a first interface is used to connect at least the first type of humidifier, and a second interface is used to connect at least the second type of humidifier. In other words, the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier are connected to the ventilation equipment through different interfaces.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier have functional differences due to their different types, as follows:

[0052] The number of adjustable parameters in a type II humidifier is greater than the number of adjustable parameters in a type I humidifier; and / or,

[0053] In a type II humidifier, the adjustable range of all or some of the adjustable parameters is greater than the adjustable range of the corresponding adjustable parameters in a type I humidifier; and / or,

[0054] In the second type of humidifier, all or some of the adjustable parameters have more adjustable levels than the corresponding adjustable parameters in the first type of humidifier; and / or,

[0055] The second type of humidifier has more monitored parameters than the first type of humidifier.

[0056] For ease of understanding, in this embodiment, the first type of humidifier can be understood as the detachable humidifier mentioned above, and the second type of humidifier can be understood as the external independent humidifier mentioned above. In practical applications, the detachable humidifier supports adjustment of the humidification level, while the external independent humidifier can adjust parameters including not only the humidification level but also the temperature of the humidifier outlet, etc. In other words, the number of adjustable parameters in the external independent humidifier is greater than that in the detachable humidifier. Taking the humidification level as an example, the more powerful external independent humidifier supports a wider range or finer-grained adjustment of the humidification level. That is, the adjustable range of the adjustable parameters in the external independent humidifier is greater than that in the detachable humidifier, or in other words, the external independent humidifier has more adjustable levels than the detachable humidifier. In addition, typically, detachable humidifiers only support monitoring the currently set humidification level, while external independent humidifiers can monitor not only the currently set humidification level, but also the temperature of the humidifier outlet, and even the temperature of the heating pipe connecting the humidifier outlet and the patient. In other words, external independent humidifiers monitor more parameters than detachable humidifiers.

[0057] In one embodiment, a first type of humidifier humidifies a gas stream by being electrically connected to a ventilation device, while a second type of humidifier humidifies a gas stream independently.

[0058] In this embodiment, the main difference between the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier lies in their dependence on the ventilation equipment. The first type of humidifier cannot be powered independently; it requires a physical connection with the ventilation equipment, which then supplies power to it via a power interface. Furthermore, the first type of humidifier itself does not have parameter setting or monitoring functions; these functions are performed through the ventilation equipment. Therefore, parameter setting and monitoring of the first type of humidifier require an electrical connection between the humidifier and the ventilation equipment. The parameters are set on the ventilation equipment, transmitted to the humidifier for activation, and the operational status of the parameters in the humidifier is transmitted back to the ventilation equipment for output, thus completing the parameter monitoring of the first type of humidifier. Compared to the first type of humidifier, the second type of humidifier can be powered independently. Furthermore, the second type of humidifier usually has an operation panel and display device, which can be used to set and monitor parameters directly on the first type of humidifier. Therefore, it can be understood that the second type of humidifier can independently humidify the gas flow.

[0059] In one embodiment, the first interface includes a wired interface, which includes a wired communication interface and / or a power supply interface, and the second interface includes a wireless interface.

[0060] In this embodiment, the main difference between the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier lies in their communication methods. As mentioned above, the first type of humidifier needs to be electrically connected to the ventilation equipment to obtain power, and on this basis, parameter settings and monitoring are performed. Therefore, in this embodiment, a wired interface is selected as the first interface. This wired interface can integrate wired communication and power supply functions, thereby achieving humidification of the gas flow through the electrical connection between the first type of humidifier and the ventilation equipment. The second type of humidifier, on the other hand, can be independently powered and independently set and monitor parameters. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second interface used to connect the second type of humidifier and the ventilation equipment can be configured as a wireless interface. This wireless interface can be used for the ventilation equipment to send parameter configurations to the second type of humidifier, or for the second type of humidifier to send parameter operating status information to the ventilation equipment. In this way, the ventilation equipment can set and monitor the parameters of the second type of humidifier, thereby avoiding excessive cable connections and improving the portability of the ventilation equipment and the humidifier.

[0061] Of course, in other embodiments, the first interface can also be a wireless interface. In this case, the first type of humidifier can be powered by other external power sources or batteries, and the ventilation device can set and monitor parameters of the first type of humidifier through the first interface. The second interface can also be a wired interface. When the second interface is a wired interface, although the portability of the device is reduced to some extent, it can effectively improve the real-time performance and reliability of communication.

[0062] In practical applications, wired interfaces include power supply interfaces and / or wired communication interfaces. For example, the power supply interface can be an IEC 60320C13 / C14 interface, and the wired communication interface includes, but is not limited to, USB interfaces, RTS-232 interfaces, and RJ45 interfaces. Wireless interfaces include short-range wireless communication interfaces, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Ultra Wideband (UWB), and Near Field Communication (NFC) interfaces.

[0063] In this embodiment, the processor is responsible for monitoring the connection status of the first interface and the second interface in real time, and controlling the display device to output a display page that matches the monitoring results on the ventilation equipment.

[0064] Next, we will provide a detailed explanation of the display pages on the ventilation equipment that correspond to the monitoring results, for each different monitoring outcome.

[0065] In one embodiment, the processor controls the display device to output a display page that matches the type of humidifier connected to the first interface or the second interface, including:

[0066] If the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the first interface, the processor controls the display device to output a first display page, which includes parameter configuration items or parameter monitoring items of the humidifier connected to the first interface; and / or,

[0067] When the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the second interface, the processor controls the display device to output a second display page, which includes an interface mirror of the user interface of the humidifier connected to the second interface.

[0068] In this embodiment, if the processor detects that a humidifier is connected to one of the first interface and the second interface, it controls the display device to output a display page that matches the type of the humidifier.

[0069] Specifically, the first interface is used to connect to the first type of humidifier. As mentioned above, the first type of humidifier cannot operate independently and needs to be electrically connected to the ventilation equipment to humidify the gas flow. In other words, the parameter configuration and parameter monitoring of the first type of humidifier need to be completed through the ventilation equipment. Therefore, the first display page that matches the first type of humidifier displays the parameter configuration items or parameter monitoring items of the first type of humidifier.

[0070] In practical applications, the parameter configuration items for the first type of humidifier mainly include the humidification level configuration items, and the parameter monitoring items for the first type of humidifier mainly include the currently active humidification level. (Refer to...) Figure 4 Example, Figure 4 In the first display page, the humidification settings of the first type of humidifier are displayed. By clicking the "humidification settings" menu item on the first display page, a sub-menu about the humidification settings configuration items will pop up. This sub-menu includes an "OFF" menu item that represents turning off the humidification function, and menu items that represent the six humidification settings "1 to 6". In response to the user's selection of the menu items, the corresponding humidification settings of the first type of humidifier are configured.

[0071] In one embodiment, the processor is further configured to:

[0072] In response to the first parameter configuration operation received on the first display page, the parameters of the humidifier connected to the first interface are configured.

[0073] For the first type of humidifier, it is controlled by the ventilation device. Therefore, medical staff configure the parameters of the first type of humidifier on the first display page. Based on the first interface, the parameter configuration will be transmitted to the first type of humidifier. In this way, the first type of humidifier can control the temperature of the heating plate based on the parameter configuration, so that the water tank provides heat energy to heat and humidify the gas flow.

[0074] For example, when a user clicks Figure 4The menu item "6" under "Humidification Level" indicates that the humidification level of the first type of humidifier is adjusted to the highest level. Then, the relevant parameters corresponding to the 6th humidification level will be transmitted to the first type of humidifier. Based on these parameters, the first type of humidifier will heat the heating plate to the highest allowable temperature, so that the gas flow through the water tank is humidified to the maximum extent.

[0075] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the transmission between the ventilation device and the first type of humidifier is of specific parameter configuration values, not the parameter configuration operation itself. For example, in Figure 4 When you click on "Humidification Level 3" on the user interface shown, the parameter "Humidification Level 3" will be transmitted to the first type of humidifier, but the click operation itself will not be transmitted to the first type of humidifier.

[0076] Compared to the first type of humidifier, the second type can operate independently and provides more powerful humidification. Because it operates independently, it is typically equipped with a display device, allowing users to configure and / or monitor parameters. Therefore, during operation, the processor acquires real-time screen data from the display interface of the second type of humidifier through communication between the humidifier and the ventilation equipment, and displays a mirrored version of this interface on a second display page. (Refer to...) Figure 5 For example, area 51 displays a mirror image of the interface of the second type of humidifier. This mirror image shows the monitored and configured values ​​of the humidification temperature of the second type of humidifier. In addition, the upper left corner of this mirror image also displays a menu item for setting the humidification level of the second type of humidifier. This menu item shows the current humidification level of the second type of humidifier, "IV". In this way, medical staff can obtain the parameter configuration information of the second type of humidifier from the display device of the ventilation equipment and configure the parameters of the second type of humidifier, thereby improving the efficiency of information acquisition.

[0077] In one embodiment, the processor is further configured to:

[0078] In response to the second parameter configuration operation received on the second display page, the second parameter configuration operation is sent to the humidifier connected to the second interface so that the humidifier connected to the second interface performs parameter configuration based on the second parameter configuration operation.

[0079] Here, since the second type of humidifier is an independently operable humidifier, and the second display page shows a mirror image of the interface of the second type of humidifier, the ventilation equipment can act only as a receiver of parameter configuration operations, transmitting the received second parameter configuration operations to the second type of humidifier through the second interface, and the second type of humidifier responds to the second parameter configuration operations and performs parameter configuration on its own.

[0080] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the transmission between the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier is a specific parameter configuration operation, not a parameter configuration value. For example, the user in Figure 5 In the example, clicking the humidification level menu item in the upper left corner of area 51 transmits this click operation to the second type of humidifier, and it is synchronously mapped to a click operation on the humidification level menu item displayed on the second type of humidifier. Of course, in other embodiments, the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier can also transmit user-selected parameter configuration values.

[0081] Furthermore, considering that the second type of humidifier is an independent humidifier externally placed on the ventilation equipment, in one embodiment, the second display page is also used to display and / or configure the connection status between the second interface and the humidifier, so that medical staff can connect the ventilation equipment and the second type of humidifier through the second display page, and monitor the connection status between the ventilation equipment and the second type of humidifier in real time, ensuring that the humidifier can operate normally and effectively provide humidification during ventilation diagnosis and treatment.

[0082] Still refer to Figure 5 For example, in this example, the second interface is a Bluetooth interface, that is, the second type of humidifier communicates with the ventilation device via Bluetooth. Based on this, area 52 displays information indicating whether the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier have successfully connected via Bluetooth, area 53 displays a pairing code for Bluetooth connection between the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier, and area 54 displays a button control for receiving instructions to disconnect the Bluetooth connection between the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier.

[0083] In this embodiment, regardless of the type of humidifier connected to the ventilation device, the user can control the humidifier through operations on the user interface of the ventilation device. This eliminates the limitation of the humidifier's placement location, thereby improving operational efficiency during ventilation treatment. Furthermore, since ventilation devices in hospital departments are typically connected to centralized monitoring equipment or mobile devices such as a central station, the user interface of the ventilation device is also synchronized to these monitoring or mobile devices for centralized monitoring and remote management by medical staff. Therefore, in this embodiment, the control of the humidifier is integrated into the user interface of the ventilation device. This allows medical staff to monitor the humidifier's operating status from the central station or other equipment, and even control the humidifier through the central station, eliminating the need to go to the bedside for monitoring and control. This reduces the workload of medical staff and improves the efficiency of patient monitoring and care.

[0084] In one embodiment, the processor is further configured to:

[0085] The control display device shows the humidifier page entry.

[0086] Wherein, if the monitoring result indicates that the first interface is connected to a humidifier, the humidifier page entry is used to trigger the display device to output the first display page; and / or,

[0087] When the monitoring results indicate that the second interface is connected to a humidifier, the humidifier page entry is used to trigger the display device to output the second display page.

[0088] In practical applications, the user interface of the ventilation equipment displays multiple page tabs, for example, refer to Figure 5 For example, the user interface displays five tabs on the left side: "Oxygen Sensor," "SpO2," "Gas Source," "Bluetooth," and "Humidifier." These tabs serve as entry points to their respective operation pages. Specifically, the "Humidifier" tab serves as the entry point to the humidifier page, triggering the display of humidifier-related parameter configuration and / or parameter monitoring pages. As described in the above embodiment, the presentation of humidifier-related parameter configuration and / or parameter monitoring pages varies depending on the type of humidifier connected to the ventilation equipment. Therefore, clicking the "Humidifier" tab will trigger the display of different humidifier pages depending on the type of humidifier connected to the ventilation equipment. In other words, when the ventilation equipment supports connecting both Type 1 and Type 2 humidifiers, triggering the humidifier page entry point will display the page matching the type of humidifier currently connected to the ventilation equipment. Specifically, when a user clicks the "humidifier" tab, if a humidifier is connected to the first interface, the first display page will be shown; if a humidifier is connected to the second interface, the second display page will be shown.

[0089] As can be seen from the above embodiments, the ventilation equipment outputs different display pages depending on whether it is connected to a Type I humidifier or a Type II humidifier. This allows medical personnel to quickly and intuitively determine the type of humidifier currently connected by the ventilation equipment by observing the displayed page, and thus perform the appropriate operations based on the humidifier type, avoiding misoperation. Furthermore, it can be seen that, taking detachable humidifiers and external independent humidifiers as examples, when either humidifier is connected to the ventilation equipment, the matching display page output by the ventilation equipment is the same page originally used for parameter configuration or monitoring of that humidifier. Medical personnel can perform relevant operations based on this page, effectively reducing the learning cost and improving operational efficiency.

[0090] In this embodiment, since the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier are connected to the ventilation equipment through different interfaces, there is a possibility that both the first type of humidifier and the second type of humidifier may be connected to the ventilation equipment. This situation may result in both humidifiers being in operation, leading to over-humidification or high gas flow temperature, or it may cause doctors to misjudge the humidification effect, which is unacceptable during ventilation diagnosis and treatment. Therefore, to address this potential risk, in one embodiment, the processor is further configured to:

[0091] If the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is already connected to one of the first and second interfaces, then the other interface in the first and second interfaces shall be prohibited from being connected to the humidifier. Alternatively, if the other interface in the first and second interfaces is connected to the humidifier, then the ventilation equipment shall be prohibited from controlling the humidifier.

[0092] Here, if one of the first and second interfaces is already connected to a humidifier, it means that the humidifier has established an electrical and / or communication connection with the ventilation equipment. In this case, the processor will prevent the other interface of the first and second interfaces from being connected to the humidifier, so as to avoid the situation where two different types of humidifiers are connected to the ventilation equipment at the same time.

[0093] Specifically, when the first interface is a wired interface and the second interface is a wireless interface, if a first-type humidifier is connected to the first interface, the display device of the ventilation equipment will not display the relevant page for connecting to the second-type humidifier under the control of the processor. In this way, the ventilation equipment cannot connect to the second-type humidifier, thereby preventing the second-type humidifier from establishing a connection with the ventilation equipment through the second interface. If a second-type humidifier is connected to the second interface, the first interface is disabled under the control of the processor. The first interface cannot be used to power the first-type humidifier, or it cannot be used to power the first-type humidifier or transmit data. At this time, even if the first-type humidifier establishes a physical connection with the ventilation equipment, the electrical connection and communication connection between the first-type humidifier and the ventilation equipment cannot be established, thereby preventing the first-type humidifier from operating.

[0094] Alternatively, as another implementation, the processor may allow the first and second interfaces to simultaneously establish electrical and / or communication connections with the corresponding type of humidifier. However, the processor may prevent the transmission of control commands received by the ventilation device to the humidifier connected to the ventilation device at the software level. In this way, the humidifier connected to the ventilation device will still not be able to operate normally.

[0095] Specifically, corresponding to the case where the second interface includes a short-range wireless communication interface, the processor is further configured to: when the monitoring results indicate that the first interface is already connected to a humidifier, prevent the output of a pairing page for connecting to the humidifier via the second interface in the user interface of the ventilation device. Taking a Bluetooth interface as an example, the ventilation device will not output a page for Bluetooth pairing, thus preventing the second type of humidifier from establishing a communication connection with the ventilation device, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the operation of the second type of humidifier.

[0096] And / or, corresponding to the case where the first interface includes a wired interface, the processor is further configured to: when the monitoring result indicates that a humidifier is connected to the second interface, and the first interface is detected to be occupied, output first information on the user interface of the ventilation device, the first information being used to prompt the humidifier to be disconnected from the first interface. At this time, since the second type of humidifier is connected to the ventilation device, the processor controls the control device to output prompt information on the user interface, prompting medical personnel to promptly disconnect the first type of humidifier from the first interface, that is, prompting medical personnel to promptly disconnect the first type of humidifier from the ventilation device. This can avoid equipment overload caused by wiring connections and reduce the risk of equipment failure.

[0097] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the second interface includes a short-range wireless communication interface, and the processor is further configured to:

[0098] The control display device outputs a third display page, which is used to set the short-range wireless communication function of the ventilation equipment, and the third display page shows the pairing port for connecting the ventilation equipment and the humidifier.

[0099] Specifically, when the short-range wireless communication function is activated and the monitoring result indicates that the first interface is not connected to a humidifier, the pairing entry is enabled; when the short-range wireless communication function is not activated or the monitoring result indicates that the first interface is connected to a humidifier, the pairing entry is disabled.

[0100] Here, the third display page is a dedicated page in the ventilation equipment for configuring short-range wireless communication functions. Figure 6 and Figure 7 For example, clicking the "Bluetooth" tab on the left side of the user interface will trigger the display of a third display page. This third display page contains an activation switch for the Bluetooth function. Figure 6 When the Bluetooth function is activated, the ventilation device can pair with other Bluetooth devices and communicate with them via Bluetooth after successful pairing. Figure 7In this case, the Bluetooth function is not activated, and the ventilation device cannot establish a communication connection with any Bluetooth device. Additionally, the third display page shows a list of Bluetooth devices, which may include: devices that have previously established Bluetooth connections with the ventilation device, devices currently establishing Bluetooth connections with the ventilation device, and devices that could establish Bluetooth connections with the ventilation device but are not currently doing so. Figure 6 As can be seen, when Bluetooth is activated, a "Hydraulinizer" button is displayed on the third display page. This button serves as the pairing entry point between the Type II humidifier and the ventilation equipment. It is currently clickable, meaning it is enabled. The text "Not Connected!" next to the button informs medical staff that the Type II humidifier is not currently connected to the ventilation equipment. Based on this prompt, medical staff can initiate the pairing process between the ventilation equipment and the Type II humidifier by clicking the "Hydraulinizer" button. Figure 6 As can be seen, when the Bluetooth function is not activated, the "humidifier" button on the third display page is grayed out, indicating that the button is currently disabled and pairing of the ventilation device with the second type of humidifier is not possible.

[0101] Furthermore, according to the scheme in the relevant embodiments, if the first type of humidifier establishes a connection with the ventilation device through the first interface, then the second interface will no longer be allowed to connect to the humidifier. At this time, even if the Bluetooth function is activated, the "humidifier" button on the third display page will still be grayed out, indicating that the button is currently disabled and the ventilation device and the second type of humidifier cannot be paired.

[0102] In one embodiment, if the monitoring results indicate that neither the first interface nor the second interface is connected to the humidifier, the processor is configured to:

[0103] The output prompts you to connect the corresponding humidifier to the first or second interface.

[0104] Since humidification of the gas flow is often required during ventilation diagnosis and treatment, when the ventilation equipment detects that neither the first nor the second interface is connected to a humidifier, it means that the ventilation equipment is not connected to a humidifier. In this case, the processor outputs relevant prompts to suggest connecting the first type of humidifier to the first interface or to connect the second type of humidifier to the second interface.

[0105] Here, the processor outputs relevant prompts, which can be from the display device of the ventilation equipment controlled by the processor, or from other peripheral devices such as the speaker of the ventilation equipment controlled by the processor.

[0106] Furthermore, in one embodiment, when the second interface includes a short-range wireless communication interface, the processor is configured to:

[0107] The system outputs a message indicating that the corresponding humidifier should be connected to the second interface, but does not output a message indicating that the corresponding humidifier should be connected to the first interface.

[0108] Taking the first type of humidifier, specifically the detachable humidifier, as an example, this type of humidifier is usually a compatible module of the ventilation equipment. Once activated, it can be plugged into the ventilation equipment for long-term integrated use. Therefore, if no humidifier is detected connected to the first interface, it means that the ventilation equipment is not equipped with a detachable humidifier. In this case, the system outputs information to connect the second type of humidifier to the second interface, instead of outputting information to connect the first type of humidifier to the first interface, in order to achieve a precise prompting effect.

[0109] Figure 8 The image shows the Bluetooth pairing configuration interface displayed on the humidifier page. On this interface, clicking the "Initiate Pairing" button initiates the pairing process between the Type II humidifier and the ventilation device. After successful pairing, the Type II humidifier can communicate with the ventilation device via Bluetooth, and the humidifier page will display... Figure 5 The content displayed in the example is a mirror image of the second type of humidifier display.

[0110] In one embodiment, the processor is further configured to:

[0111] The control display device displays a user interface containing a setting identifier, which indicates the type of humidifier connected to the first or second interface.

[0112] Here, the identifier can be text, icon, image, etc.

[0113] Where the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the first interface, the processor controls the display device to display a user interface containing a first setting identifier, which indicates the type of humidifier connected to the first interface; and / or,

[0114] If the monitoring results indicate that a humidifier is connected to the second interface, the processor controls the display device to display a user interface containing a second setting identifier, which is used to indicate the type of humidifier connected to the second interface.

[0115] In practical applications, since the ventilation equipment may be connected to different types of humidifiers, in this embodiment, a set identifier is displayed on the user interface of the ventilation equipment so that the user can intuitively determine the type of humidifier currently connected to the ventilation equipment. Furthermore, this set identifier can also be used to indicate the operating status of the humidifier currently connected to the ventilation equipment, or to indicate that the ventilation equipment is not currently connected to any humidifier.

[0116] Reference Figure 4 For example, in this case, the ventilation device is connected to a detachable humidifier. In this case, a marker indicating that the ventilation device is connected to a detachable humidifier is displayed in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface. (See reference...) Figure 5 For example, in this case, the ventilation device is connected to an external independent humidifier. In this case, a marker indicating that the ventilation device is connected to an external independent humidifier is displayed in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface. (See reference...) Figure 8 For example, in this case, the ventilation device is not connected to any humidifier. In this case, a symbol indicating Bluetooth connection is displayed in the dotted box area in the upper right corner of the user interface. Based on this symbol, the user knows that the ventilation device is not currently connected to any humidifier and that an external standalone humidifier can be connected via Bluetooth.

[0117] In this embodiment, an indicator for indicating the current connection status of the ventilation device with the humidifier is displayed in a fixed area of ​​the user interface. Preferably, the indicator is displayed in the menu bar above the user interface. The display in this area is not affected by switching between different pages in the user interface. In this way, even if the user switches the displayed page to other pages besides the humidifier page, such as the Bluetooth page or the air source page, the user can still observe the indicator from the user interface, thereby promptly understanding the humidifier currently connected to the ventilation device and its related status.

[0118] In one embodiment, the processor is also configured to control the display device to display a setting identifier in the user interface in one of a variety of display configurations.

[0119] The various display configurations include the following:

[0120] The first display configuration indicates that the humidifier is operating normally;

[0121] A second display configuration to indicate abnormal operating status of the humidifier;

[0122] A third display configuration characterizing the humidifier in standby mode.

[0123] Specifically, with Figure 4For example, when the detachable humidifier is in normal working condition and can heat and humidify the gas flow, the indicator in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface will be highlighted. When the humidification setting of the detachable humidifier is set to "OFF", the indicator in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface will be grayed out. When the detachable humidifier malfunctions, the indicator in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface will be displayed as a red exclamation mark. In this way, the indicator in the dotted area in the upper right corner of the user interface not only indicates the type of humidifier currently connected to the ventilation equipment, but also displays the current status of the humidifier in real time, improving the user's information acquisition efficiency and enabling the user to take appropriate measures according to the status of the humidifier, thereby improving operational efficiency.

[0124] Corresponding to the ventilation device provided in the above embodiments, this application also provides a user interface display method applied to the ventilation device.
