  • Patent number: 11694794
    Abstract: Inadvertent activation of a portable medical device such as an ambulatory infusion pump can be reduced by locking a touchscreen of the device when it is indicated that an uninterrupted operation is to be performed. When a processor receives a device operation input from the touchscreen that indicates an uninterrupted operation is to be performed on the portable device, the touchscreen is automatically locked such that touch input at the touchscreen is not processed by the processor to navigate between or among menu screens or set pump parameters. Following completion of the uninterrupted operation, the touchscreen can be unlocked. In one embodiment, the touchscreen can be unlocked by selection of an unlock icon on the touchscreen.

  • Patent number: 11630567
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed preventing accidents by altering user interfaces of self-driving vehicles based on movements of passengers in the self-driving vehicles. The system and methods generate for display media content on a user interface for a self-driving vehicle and determine whether a value of movement from a wearable user device of a user within the self-driving vehicle exceeds a threshold value (indicating the maximum value at which the self-driving vehicle removes the media content on the user interface). Responsive to a determination that the value of the movement from the wearable user device exceeds the threshold value, the system and methods remove the media content on the user interface for the self-driving vehicle.
