Abstract
A command interpreter may be in communication with a wireless controller. The command interpreter may be configured to identify a reference location of the wireless controller, identify a second location of the wireless controller, and determine, based on the reference location and the second location, a sequence of instrument commands configured to adjust positioning of the instrument device.
Claims20
A device for controlling a medical instrument device, comprising:
- a command interpreter in communication with a wireless controller, the command interpreter configured to:
- identify a reference location of the wireless controller,
- identify a second location of the wireless controller, and
- determine, based on the reference location and the second location, a sequence of instrument commands configured to adjust positioning of the instrument device.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a wireless controller including:
- a first body element including a location measurement device,
- a second body element including a second location measurement device and connected to the first body element by a flexible connection, and
- a wireless transmitter configured to provide location information from location measurement device and the second location measurement device;
- and
