Management
Functions
Management Functions software does the following:
Application Manager
(SDProcess)
Application Manager (SDProcess) controls when an application is allowed to use
the display area and is responsible for initiation and termination of applications.
Applications are modular and do not interact directly with other applications. They
can only communicate with one another through the Applications Manager.
Sound Manager Sound Manager is responsible for annunciating the highest level alarm sound for all
patients being monitored by the Information Center system. It has exclusive control
of the audio capability of the PC and there is no external volume control knob. Each
patient’s Alarm Manager provides the Sound Manager with the highest priority
alarm condition for its patient, and the Sound Manager causes the tone corresponding
to the most critical condition of all of the patients to be annunciated.
Human Interface
Manager
Human Interface (HIF) Manager is responsible for directing the keyboard strokes
and mouse (or trackball) cursor movements on the display and for displaying the
keys (buttons or other display click area) for selecting applications.
HIF Manager also prevents the operator from accessing any software that is not part
of the Applications Library when in Monitoring Mode. The PC is dedicated to
Information Center software during Monitoring Mode and no other software is
allowed to run concurrently. HIF Manager intercepts and blocks operator attempts to
access the operating system directly.
HIF Manager also disables keyboard sequences such as Alt-Tab, Ctrl-Alt-Del, and
Ctrl-Esc. This prevents access to functions such as the Windows Program Manager
and Windows Explorer and makes it impossible to start other programs while
patients are being monitored.
