Glucose Display Layout for Intuitive Real-Time and History Viewing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing personal diabetes management (PDM) devices lack an intuitive and efficient way to display glucose information, leading to cluttered screens and suboptimal user experience.
Innovation Solution
The management device is divided into multiple display areas, including a first area for device status, a second area for real-time glucose information, and a third area for historical glucose concentration information, with features like color-coded trends and expandable graphs, along with interactive controls for alarm management.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the PDM device includes multiple functions (personalized settings, alarm thresholds, diet/exercise tracking), then the device functionality and versatility improve, but the screen content and interface complexity increase, making it harder for users to intuitively access glucose information
Solution Approach 1:
The screen is divided into multiple display areas, with the first display area dedicated to real-time glucose information and the second display area for device status. This segmentation allows glucose data to be prominently displayed while other functions are organized in separate sections, reducing the perceived complexity for users seeking glucose information.
Solution Approach 2:
The most critical information (real-time glucose level) is extracted and placed in a dedicated display area that is always visible. This extraction ensures that regardless of how many other functions are added to the device, the primary glucose monitoring function remains simple and intuitive to access.
2Loss of information
If more glucose information parameters are displayed (trends, historical data, alarm thresholds), then the information completeness improves, but the screen becomes cluttered and harder to read
Solution Approach 1:
Different display areas are assigned different functions with distinct visual characteristics. The first display area uses large fonts and prominent positioning for real-time glucose values, while the second display area uses smaller text for device status. This local differentiation allows comprehensive information to be displayed without creating a uniform cluttered appearance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent organizes information not only by vertical stacking but also by functional grouping in separate display areas. By creating distinct zones on the screen with different information densities, the patent adds a spatial dimension to information organization, allowing users to quickly locate glucose information without being overwhelmed by other data.

AI summary
Disclosed is a management device for displaying glucose information. The screen of the management device is divided into the plurality of display areas, at least comprising a first display area for displaying the status of the management device, a second display area for displaying real-time glucose information, and a third display area for displaying historical glucose concentration information. The user can intuitively and easily get the glucose information in the body.
