Surgical control apparatus, surgical control method, and program

A surgical control method comprising:

• recognizing a first type of contactless input from a user as first input information;
• recognizing a second type of contactless input from the user as second input information, the second type of contactless input being different from the first type of contactless input;
• estimating a state of the user, from a plurality of predetermined user states, on the basis of the first input information and the second input information;
• setting, in accordance with the state of the user estimated, at least one command type from a plurality of command types as a permitted command type and set other commands from the plurality of command types as restricted command type, the at least one command type including one or more commands for controlling a control operation of a surgical apparatus, each command having an associated recognition condition;
• and
• outputting one of the one or more commands on the basis of whether the first input information and the second input information satisfy a recognition condition of one of the one of the one or more commands.

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon a program that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to execute processing, the processing comprising:

• recognizing a first type of contactless input from a user as first input information;
• recognizing a second type of contactless input from the user as second input information, the second type of contactless input being different from the first type of contactless input;
• estimating a state of the user, from a plurality of predetermined user states, on the basis of the first input information and the second input information;
• setting, in accordance with the state of the user estimated, at least one command type from a plurality of command types as a permitted command type and set other commands from the plurality of command types as restricted command type, the at least one command type including one or more commands for controlling a control operations of a surgical apparatus, each command having an associated recognition condition;
• and
• outputting one of the one or more commands on the basis of whether the first input information and the second input information satisfy a recognition condition of one of the one of the one or more commands.
