Abstract
Provided are a hardware device, a user control apparatus for the same, a medical apparatus including the same, and a method of operating the medical apparatus. The method includes sensing a pattern of a hardware device disposed on an ultrasonic touch screen, and when the sensed pattern matches a stored pattern, determining the hardware device as an input apparatus enabling a user command to be input.
Claims20
A method of operating a medical apparatus, the method comprising:
- sensing a pattern of a hardware device disposed on a touch screen;
- and
- determining the hardware device as an input apparatus enabling a user command to be input when the sensed pattern matches a stored pattern.
A medical apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen that senses a pattern of a hardware device;
- a storage unit that stores a pattern and an object of a user interface, the pattern being mapped to the object of the user interface;
- and
- a control unit that, when a pattern of a hardware device disposed on the touch screen is included in the pattern stored in the storage unit, determines the hardware device as an input apparatus enabling a user command to be input.
A user control apparatus comprising:
- a touch screen that senses a pattern of a hardware device;
- and
- a control unit that, when a pattern of a hardware device disposed on the touch screen is included in the pattern stored in the storage unit, determines the hardware device as an input apparatus enabling a user command to be input.
A hardware device for a user control apparatus, the hardware device comprising:
- an identification unit that identifies the hardware device, disposed at a surface facing a touch screen that is an external device, as an object of a user interface;
- an operation unit that transfers a user command to the touch screen by using a motion;
- and
- a housing that forms an external appearance of the hardware device, and supports the identification unit and the operation unit.
