Medical observation device, processing method, and medical observation system

A medical observation device, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to
• detect a pressing operation based on an operation signal according to the pressing operation output from an external operation device equipped with a switch pressed by a mouth;
• and
• perform a process of controlling the medical observation device corresponding to the detected pressing operation, wherein
• the process corresponding to the pressing operation includes some or all of a process related to an imaging operation of an imaging device, a process related to a display of a medical captured image which is captured in the imaging device, and an identification process of identifying a user's input indicating the process related to the imaging operation or the process related to the display of the medical captured image,
• the processing circuitry is further configured to
• switch to a mode for performing the identification process based on the detection of the pressing operation,
• perform a process corresponding to the user's input identified by the identification process,
• perform a line-of-vision recognition process, as the identification process, in which a line of vision of a recognition target is recognized, and
• perform a process corresponding to the recognized line-of-vision.
