Multi-user touch-based control of a remote catheter guidance system (RCGS)

摘要

A control system for a medical remote catheter guidance system includes an ECU, a computer-readable memory coupled to the ECU, and user interface (UI) logic stored in the memory configured to be executed by the ECU. The user interface logic receives input from a touch screen display with respect to a view of an anatomical model, associates a user type with the input, and interprets the input according to the associated user type and input. The user interface logic may be further configured to receive simultaneous inputs from at least two different users and to associate different user types with each of said simultaneous inputs. The user interface logic may associate each input with a user type according to a location of the input on the touch screen display.

1. A control system for user-guided robotic manipulation of a medical device comprising:
an electronic control unit (ECU); a computer-readable memory coupled to said ECU; user interface (UI) logic stored in said memory configured to be executed by said ECU, said user interface logic configured to:
receive input from a touch screen display with respect to a view of an anatomical model;associate a user type selected from two or more user types with said input;determine whether said user type is associated with a permission to instruct movement of the medical device; andinterpret said input; and control logic stored in said memory configured to be executed by said ECU, said control logic configured to produce a control signal based at least in part on the interpretation of said UI logic and said input to control the medical device if said user type is associated with a permission to instruct movement of the medical device.
