Abstract
A phototherapy apparatus with interactive user interface for treating biological tissue of an animal or human target. The user interface comprises intuitive graphic menus which allow the clinicians or practitioners to define the properties of the biological tissue through easily observable physical characteristics such as weight, skin color, and hair color of the patient. The central control unit of the phototherapy apparatus then automatically optimizes the parameters of the light source according to the properties of the biological tissue and generates an appropriate treatment protocol to produce the optimum phototherapy result.

1-13. (canceled)
A method comprising:
- displaying, by a touchscreen of a phototherapy apparatus, a first user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) multiple first user interface controls that graphically depict multiple different respective animals, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different respective animals, and
- (ii) multiple second user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal coat colors, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal coat colors,
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, a first user input that interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple first user interface controls that graphically depicts a selected animal of the multiple different animals;
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, a second user input that interacts with the touchscreen display to select one of the multiple second user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal coat color of the multiple different animal coat colors;
- displaying, by the touchscreen of the phototherapy apparatus, a second user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) a graphical depiction of the selected animal that was graphically depicted on the one of the multiple first user interface controls that the first user input selected, and
- (ii) multiple third user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal conditions, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal conditions;
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, a third user input that interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple third user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal condition;
- selecting, by the phototherapy apparatus, parameters of light for administration, in accordance with the first user input, the second user input, and the third user input;
- displaying, by the touchscreen of the phototherapy apparatus, a third user interface that concurrently displays at least one of the parameters of light that were selected for administration, the third user interface displaying at least an indication of a power of treatment.
A phototherapy apparatus, comprising:
- a light source to produce light;
- a central control unit that is configured to select parameters of light for administration by the light source, in accordance with a first user input, a second user input, and a third user input;
- and
- a touchscreen that is configured with the central control unit to allow user input to define medical conditions and physical characteristic of an animal target by:
- displaying a first user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) multiple first user interface controls that graphically depict multiple different respective animals, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different respective animals, and
- (ii) multiple second user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal coat colors, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal coat colors,
- receiving the first user input, which interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple first user interface controls that graphically depicts a selected animal of the multiple different animals;
- receiving the second user input, which interacts with the touchscreen display to select one of the multiple second user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal coat color of the multiple different animal coat colors;
- displaying a second user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) a graphical depiction of the selected animal that was graphically depicted on the one of the multiple first user interface controls that the first user input selected, and
- (ii) multiple third user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal conditions, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal conditions;
- receiving the third user input, which interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple third user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal condition;
- and
- displaying a third user interface that concurrently displays at least one of the parameters of light that have been selected for administration by the light source, the third user interface displaying at least an indication of a power of treatment that uses the light.
A method comprising:
- displaying, by a touchscreen of a phototherapy apparatus, a first user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) multiple first user interface controls that graphically depict multiple different respective animals, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different respective animals,
- (ii) multiple second user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal coat colors, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal coat colors, wherein the multiple second user interface controls include selectable boxes, and
- (iii) a back user interface control,
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, a first user input that interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple first user interface controls that graphically depicts a selected animal of the multiple different animals;
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, a second user input that interacts with the touchscreen display to select one of the multiple second user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal coat color of the multiple different animal coat colors,
- wherein in response to the phototherapy apparatus receiving the second user input that interacts with the touchscreen display to select the one of the multiple second user interface controls, the touchscreen places a graphical element inside the one of the multiple second user interface elements;
- displaying, by the touchscreen of the phototherapy apparatus, a second user interface that concurrently displays:
- (i) a graphical depiction of the selected animal that was graphically depicted on the one of the multiple first user interface controls that the first user input selected,
- (ii) multiple third user interface controls that are associated with multiple different animal conditions, and with which user input is able to select any of the multiple different animal conditions, and wherein a particular one of the multiple third user interface controls is associated with an incision type of condition,
- (iii) another back user interface control;
- receiving, by the phototherapy apparatus, third user input that interacts with the touchscreen to select one of the multiple third user interface controls that is associated with a selected animal condition;
- selecting, by the phototherapy apparatus, parameters of therapeutic light for administration, in accordance with the first user input, the second user input, and the third user input;
- displaying, by the touchscreen of the phototherapy apparatus, a third user interface that concurrently displays at least some of the parameters of therapeutic light that were selected for administration, the third user interface concurrently displaying:
- (i) an indication of the selected animal that was graphically depicted on the one of the multiple first user interface controls that the first user input selected,
- (ii) an indication of the selected animal coat color that was associated with the one of the multiple second user interface controls that the second user input selected,
