Systems and methods for generating dynamic graphical user interfaces for monitoring and controlling connected devices

A system for controlling a surgical device connected to a surgical hub, the system comprising:

• a memory;
• one or more processors;
• wherein the memory stores one or more programs that when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• receive first data from a surgical device communicatively coupled to the surgical hub;
• identify the surgical device based on the received first data;
• query a database stored in a memory of the surgical hub to determine whether the database includes graphical user interface (GUI) layout information associated with the identified surgical device, wherein the GUI layout information comprises graphical controls specific to the connected surgical device;
• in response to the determination that the database does not include GUI layout information associated with the identified surgical device:
• transmit a request to an external device for the GUI layout information associated with the identified device;
• receive the requested GUI layout information from the external device;
• update the database stored in the memory of the surgical hub with the received GUI layout information;
• and
• render a GUI at an electronic display of the surgical hub based on the received GUI layout information from the external device;
• receive second data generated by the surgical device;
• and
• generate at least one display feed based on the second data generated by the surgical device for display on at least one of the electronic display of the surgical hub and at least one external display.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for controlling a surgical device connected to a surgical hub, for execution by one or more processors of an electronic device that when executed by the device, causes the device to:

• receive first data from a surgical device communicatively coupled to the surgical hub;
• identify the surgical device based on the received first data;
• query a database stored in a memory of the surgical hub to determine whether the database includes graphical user interface (GUI) layout information associated with the identified surgical device, wherein the GUI layout information comprises graphical controls specific to the connected surgical device;
• if the memory in response to the determination that the database does not include GUI layout information associated with the identified surgical device:
• transmit a request to an external device for the GUI layout information associated with the identified device;
• receive the requested GUI layout information from the external device;
• update the database stored in the memory of the surgical hub with the received GUI layout information;
• and
• render a GUI at an electronic display of the surgical hub based on the received GUI layout information from the external device;
• receive second data generated by the surgical device;
• and
• generate at least one display feed based on the second data generated by the surgical device for display on at least one of the electronic display of the surgical hub and at least one external display.
