Abstract
A system and method for controlling and selecting sources in a room on a network. The system allows a remote viewer to create a virtual presence within the room by providing the available displays, corresponding to the sources, to the remote viewer. The system includes a standardizing technique for improving the communication and overall switching of data for streaming on a network. The system can include a recording server for performing dual recording of the video files in each of a local database and a remote database. A graphical user interface (GUI) display is provided to guide a local user through a medical procedure in the standardized system.
Claims19
A medical telepresence system for controlling access of a remote user to imaging from a first imaging device and a second imaging device and a local monitor located at an imaging location that is remote from the remote user, the system comprising:
- a controller coupled to the first imaging device, the second imaging device, and the local monitor, wherein the controller is configured to:
- receive a display request, the display request including a request to display at least one of a video stream from the first imaging device, or a video stream from the second imaging device;
- responsive to the display request, select and locally display on the local monitor a local video stream, the local video stream including a video stream from the first imaging device or the second imaging device;
- receive a second display request, the second display request including a request to display at least one of the local video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device on a remote device;
- provide, in response to the second display request, a graphical user interface (GUI) for remote display at the remote device;
- transmit at least one of:
- the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device to the GUI at the remote device;
- and
- change the GUI at the remote device to adjust which of at least one of the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device is displayed on the remote device based on a context of a room in which a medical procedure is being performed, wherein the context is automatically determined based on at least one of patient, procedure, equipment status, or medical staff information received via one or more medical environment network messages, and wherein the controller automatically determines available content based on the information from the one or more medical environment network messages.

A computer implemented method for medical collaboration with a remote viewer, the method comprising:
- receiving a display request, the display request including a request to display at least one of a video stream from a first imaging device, or a video stream from a second imaging device;
- responsive to the display request, selecting and locally displaying on a local monitor, a local video stream, the local video stream including a video stream from the first imaging device or the second imaging device;
- receiving a second display request, the second display request including a request to display at least one of the local video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device on a remote device;
- providing, in response to the second display request, a graphical user interface (GUI) for remote display at the remote device;
- transmitting at least one of:
- the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device to the GUI at the remote device;
- and
- changing the GUI at the remote device to adjust which of at least one of the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device is displayed on the remote device based on a medical procedural status of a human or animal subject patient undergoing a medical procedure, wherein the medical procedure status is automatically determined based on at least one of patient or procedure information received via one or more medical environment network messages, and wherein a controller automatically determines available content based on the information from the one or more medical environment network messages.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium with instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor of a computing device, cause the computing device to:
- receive a display request, the display request including a request to display at least one of a video stream from a first imaging device, or a video stream from a second imaging device;
- responsive to the display request, select and locally display on a local monitor, a local video stream, the local video stream including a video stream from the first imaging device or the second imaging device;
- receive a second display request, the second display request including a request to display at least one of the local video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device on a remote device;
- provide, in response to the second display request, a graphical user interface (GUI) for remote display at the remote device;
- transmit at least one of:
- the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device to the GUI at the remote device;
- and
- change the GUI at the remote device to adjust which of at least one of the locally displayed video stream, the video stream from the first imaging device, or the video stream from the second imaging device is displayed on the remote device based on a medical procedural status of a human or animal subject patient undergoing a medical procedure, wherein the medical procedure status is automatically determined based on at least one of patient or procedure information received via one or more medical environment network messages, and wherein a controller automatically determines available content based on the information from the one or more medical environment network messages.
