Systems and methods for selecting, activating, or selecting and activating transducers

A transducer activation system comprising:

• a data processing device system;
• an input-output device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system;
• and
• a memory device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and storing a program executable by the data processing device system, the program comprising:
• display instructions configured to cause the input-output device system to display a graphical representation of at least intra-cardiac information;
• input-processing instructions configured to:
• cause reception of first user input via the input-output device system and, in response to receiving the first user input, place a first user input element in an activated state;
• cause reception of second user input via the input-output device system and, in response to receiving the second user input, place the first user input element in a deactivated state;
• and
• cause reception of motion-based user input via the input-output device system;
• path definition instructions configured to cause definition of a graphical path including a first location on the graphical path defined according to a first parameter set associated with the first user input, a second location on the graphical path defined according to a second parameter set associated with the second user input, and at least a third location on the graphical path other than the first location and the second location defined according to a path traced by the motion-based user input;
• and
• activation instructions configured to cause activation of a transducer-based device system, initiated during or after completion of the definition of the graphical path, to transmit energy sufficient for tissue ablation along an ablation path corresponding to the graphical path,
• wherein the display instructions are configured to cause the input-output device system to display the graphical path including the first location, the second location, and the at least the third location among the graphical representation of the intra-cardiac information.

A graphical path display device system comprising:

• a data processing device system;
• an input-output device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system;
• and
• a memory device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and storing a program executable by the data processing device system, the program comprising:
• input-processing instructions configured to:
• cause reception of first user input via the input-output device system and, in response to receiving the first user input, place a first user input element in an activated state;
• cause reception of motion-based user input via the input-output device system;
• and
• cause reception of second user input via the input-output device system and, in response to receiving the second user input, place the first user input element in a deactivated state;
• path definition instructions configured to cause definition of a graphical path including a plurality of graphical-path-elements, the path definition instructions configured to cause initiation of the definition of the graphical path in response to receiving the first user input, to cause generation of an interim-definition of the graphical path according to a path traced by the motion-based user input, and to cause conclusion of the definition of the graphical path in response to receiving the second user input, each of the respective graphical-path-elements associated with a respective display region including at least a portion of the respective graphical-path-element, but the respective graphical-path-element not occupying all of the respective display region, and the path definition instructions configured to cause the interim-definition of the graphical path to be generated to identify the plurality of graphical-path-elements as those whose display regions have been passed through by at least some of the path traced by the motion-based user input;
• and
• display instructions configured to cause the input-output device system to display, prior to the conclusion of the definition of the graphical path, a graphical representation of the graphical path including the identified plurality of graphical-path-elements consistent with the interim-definition of the graphical path,
• wherein the path definition instructions are configured to cause generation of a modified-interim-definition of the graphical path prior to the conclusion of the definition of the graphical path to exclude at least one of the identified plurality of graphical-path-elements in response to a user-based retracing of a portion of the path traced by the motion-based user input, the excluded at least one of the identified plurality of graphical-path-elements being those whose display regions have been passed through by the retracing of the portion of the path traced by the motion-based user input, and
• wherein the display instructions are configured to cause the input-output device system to change the display of the graphical representation of the graphical path to account for the excluded at least one of the identified plurality of graphical-path-elements consistent with the modified-interim-definition of the graphical path prior to the conclusion of the definition of the graphical path.
