Abstract

This document discusses, among other things, an apparatus comprising a pump configured to deliver insulin, a processor, and a user interface including a bistable display. A display element of the bistable display is placed in one of two stable orientations upon application of a biasing voltage and stays in the stable orientation when the biasing voltage is removed. The processor includes a display module configured to display a non-blank reversion display screen on the bistable display when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration, and to recurrently change the reversion display screen until input is received at the user interface.

Claims (30)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a pump;

a user interface including a bistable display, wherein a display element of the bistable display is placed in one of two stable orientations upon application of a biasing voltage and stays in the stable orientation when the biasing voltage is removed; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the pump and the user interface, wherein the processor includes a display module configured to:

display a non-blank reversion display screen on the bistable display when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration; and

recurrently change the reversion display screen until input is received at the user interface; and

change the reversion display screen in response to a change in status of the pump.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bistable display includes an interferometric modulation display.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the bistable display includes an electrophoretic display.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to:

produce an animated effect on the reversion display screen; and

recurrently produce the animated effect on the reversion display screen until the input is received at the user interface.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to:

display time on the reversion display screen; and

update the time on the reversion display screen.

6. The apparatus of claim 1 , including:

a memory, communicatively coupled to the processor, to store a plurality of reversion display screens, and

wherein the display module is configured to:

display one of the plurality of reversion display screens when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration; and

recurrently change the reversion display screen from one of the plurality of reversion display screens to another of the plurality of reversion display screens while no input is received at the user interface.

7. The apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the memory stores an indication that a reversion display screen is selected by a user.

8. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to change the reversion display screen in response to input received via the user interface.

9. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the display module is configured to change the display from the reversion display screen to a home menu when input is received at the user interface.

10. An apparatus comprising:

a pump;

a user interface including a bistable display, wherein a display element of the bistable display is placed in one of two stable orientations upon application of a biasing voltage and stays in the stable orientation when the biasing voltage is removed; and

a processor communicatively coupled to the pump and the user interface, wherein the processor includes a display module configured to:

display a non-blank reversion display screen on the bistable display when no input is received at the user interface after a specified time duration;

recurrently change the reversion display screen until input is received at the user interface; and

change the reversion display screen in response to a detected change in a clinical status of a user.
