The present invention relates to patient monitoring, such as hemodynamic monitoring. In order to perform provide monitoring in various scenarios, a patient monitoring device () is provided that comprises a patient medical monitoring unit () and an information unit (). The patient medical monitoring unit is configured to perform monitoring at least one physiological parameter of a patient. The information unit is configured to provide a data carrier signal () indicative of information about the patient medical monitoring unit, for example, upon connection to a monitoring system. The data carrier signal is provided as an analogue sequence () comprising a predetermined waveform () indicative of the information about the patient medical monitoring unit.

Automatic sensor identification

An apparatus displays () first data on at least one display unit. A user interaction portion of a user input area of at least one input unit is determined (); and on the at least one display unit a portion of the first data is displayed () simultaneously with second image data. The second image data is representative of the user interaction portion of the user input area of the at least one input unit.

Apparatus for displaying image data on a display unit based on a touch input unit

A system is provided for simultaneously displaying video data of multiple video sources () on a display. The system comprises a video input () for receiving the video data () of the multiple video sources; a display processor () for generating display data () to display the video data of the multiple video sources in respective viewports (A-F) on a display. The display processor is further arranged for, if needed to fit respective ones of the viewports, spatially scaling the video data of one or more of the multiple video sources to obtain said fit; and generating a visual indicator (-) for visually indicating whether the video data in one of the viewports has been spatially scaled from its native spatial resolution. By providing the visual indicator as part of the display data, the system may warn the user that the video data in one of the viewports may comprise undesirable artifacts which may hinder interpretation of the video data.

Simultaneously displaying video data of multiple video sources

Apparatuses () for controlling elements (-) possibly shown on screens () or items () possibly represented by the elements () comprise detectors (-) for detecting features of objects () such as body parts in first and second dimensions and converters () for converting first features into actions for the elements (-) or the items (). By making the actions dependent on second features, a number of possibilities is increased. First features may be movements of the objects () and second features may be absolute or relative positions of the objects (). First dimensions may be parallel to the screens () and second dimensions may be perpendicular or parallel to the screens (), or vice versa. Actions may comprise browsing groups (-) of elements (-) at position dependent speeds or browsing one or more groups (-) depending on the positions. The items () may be lamps, appliances, audio players, video players, whereby their parameters may be adjusted in dependence of the movements and the positions.
