Endoluminal device system, control method of controlling endoluminal device, and storage medium storing program for controlling endoluminal device

A control method of controlling an endoluminal device in an endoluminal device system including the endoluminal device configured to be inserted into a lumen and a contact detection device configured to detect contact of an object, the control method for the endoluminal device comprising:

• detecting a first manipulation on the basis of a motion of the object in contact with the contact detection device;
• performing a shape control process of changing a shape of at least a part of the endoluminal device on the basis of the first manipulation;
• detecting a second manipulation on the basis of the motion of the object while the object is continuously in contact with the contact detection device after the detection of the first manipulation starts;
• and
• performing a first control process of maintaining a shape in which at least a part of the endoluminal device is changed on the basis of the second manipulation.

A storage medium storing a program for controlling an endoluminal device inserted into a lumen, the computer program storage medium causing a computer to implement:

• a function of detecting a first manipulation on the basis of a motion of an object in contact with a contact detection device;
• a function of performing a shape control process of changing a shape of at least a part of the endoluminal device on the basis of the first manipulation;
• a function of detecting a second manipulation on the basis of the motion of the object while the object is continuously in contact with the contact detection device after the detection of the first manipulation starts;
• and
• a function of performing a first control process of maintaining a shape in which at least a part of the endoluminal device is changed on the basis of the second manipulation.
