Abstract
An example method includes capturing images using a camera and detecting a medical device in a first image among the images. A request is transmitted to the medical device. Based on transmitting the request, the example method includes determining that the medical device has output a chirp signal in a second image among the images. Based on the chirp signal, the method includes causing the medical device to perform an action by transmitting a control message to the medical device.
Claims21
1-20. (canceled)
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting a medical device in a first image among images received from a camera;
- determining that the medical device has output a chirp signal in a second image among the images;
- and
- based at least in part on determining that the medical device has output the chirp signal, causing the medical device to perform an action by transmitting a control message to the medical device.
A system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor and storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- detecting an event based at least in part on images;
- generating a control message based at least in part on the event;
- and
- causing a device to perform an action in a setting by transmitting the control message to the device.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, in an image of a device, a code displayed by the device;
- transmitting, to the device, a request to detect at least one parameter of a patient;
- and
- receiving, from the device, a response indicating the at least one parameter of the patient.
