  • Publication number: 20220008023
    Abstract: According to the present invention, blood pressure surges is detected from time-series data on blood pressure of a subject that varies with pulsation based on predetermined determination criteria. A feature amount indicating a characteristic of each blood pressure surge thus detected is obtained. Statistical processing is performed on an occurrence number of the blood pressure surges thus detected and/or the feature amount to obtain a statistical amount for each of time slots. A required attention degree indicating a level of attention being required to the blood pressure surge is obtained for each of the time slots based on the statistical amount of the occurrence number of the blood pressure surges and/or the feature amount. The required attention degree thus obtained and/or the statistical amount are displayed side by side for each of the time slots on a display screen.

  • Patent number: 11221828
    Abstract: Compatibility of a callable unit program configuring a user program is provided. A code generator that generates a code having a format executable by a control device from the user program generates an instruction code creating a structure storing association information associating a name of an argument with a value set to the argument with respect to a call expression, and converts the call expression into an instruction code calling the unit program using an identifier of the structure. A value of association information is set to the argument when the association information corresponding to the name of the argument is stored in the structure with respect to each argument of the unit program, an instruction code setting a predetermined value to the argument is generated when the association information is not stored.
