Abstract:
1. An application method for supporting a medical treatment system, the system comprising an input/display device, a storage, and a controller, said input/display device including input means and display means, said storage comprising a first database that stores a history of input stroke information automatically and a second database that stores explicit saving operations initiated by a user, said input stroke information comprising handwritten strokes, said controller comprising a display data generation controller, a storage data update controller, and a print data generation controller, the method comprising: the input/display device receiving said input stroke information by handwriting, said handwriting comprising directly touching a surface of said display means with said input means, said input/display device comprising a pen-tablet unit, said pen-tablet unit comprising said input means and said display means integrally combined, said input means comprising a pen-tablet pointer having a pen shape, said display means being one of a liquid-crystal display and a plasma display panel; first storing said input stroke information in a vector representation in said storage using said display data generation controller; displaying said input stroke information on said display using said display data generation controller; first determining whether a data identifier has been received in said input stroke information, said storage data update controller performing said first determining such that if said data identifier is received in said input stroke information, then said first determining comprises: free-input recording said free input, said storage data update controller performing said free-input recording; enabling said user to save said intra-identifier code and said free input in said storage substantially all as medical data; the input means moving in a sliding manner on a sheet label displayed at a particular position on a screen by the display means; the input/display device reading, when the input means moves onto said sheet label, data stored in said storage in relation to said sheet label from said storage, and displaying the data by conducting a change-over operation for said sheet label; second determining whether said intra-identifier code and said free input are saved in said storage, said second determining using said storage data update controller to control said second determining such that, if said intra-identifier code and said free input are not saved in said storage, a restoring operation is conducted, then said restoring operation comprises: declaring a falsification of said intra-identifier code and said free input to be impossible if said restoring operation is not conducted; fourth determining whether a second change in said storage has occurred; second ending said application method if said second change in said storage has not occurred; and if said second change in said storage has occurred, generating a copy of said storage without said intra-identifier code and said free input storage, recording said second change in said storage, and ending said application method.
