Application: Tagging pump messages with identifiers that facilitate restructuring (Patent ID: US20240071606A1)
The patent filed by ICU Medical Inc. describes techniques for communication between a clinical environment and a cloud environment. One method involves tagging messages with facility identifiers without needing to update them when facilities are rearranged. This is achieved by a connectivity adapter in the clinical environment tagging messages with permanent IDs, ensuring that even if the facility is categorized differently in another system or region, the identifiers do not need to be changed. The patent also outlines a method for processing messages from devices associated with different hierarchical levels, tagging them with hierarchical identifiers, and transmitting them to a remote server without requiring changes to the identifiers even if the device's association changes within the hierarchy.
The patent further details the apparatus configured to tag messages, which includes processors and memories storing computer-executable instructions for processing messages, tagging them with hierarchical identifiers, and transmitting them to a remote server. The instructions also involve determining group detection indicators associated with the message or device, tagging messages with default hierarchical identifiers if no corresponding group is found, and converting messages between different formats. Additionally, the patent includes non-transitory physical computer storage storing instructions for processing messages, tagging them with hierarchical identifiers, and transmitting them to a remote server. The instructions also cover determining group detection indicators, tagging messages with default hierarchical identifiers, and converting messages between formats, providing a comprehensive system for efficient communication within and across different environments.
