Systems and methods for onscreen menus in a teleoperational medical system
A system includes an operator control system and a manipulator configured for operation by an operator control device of the operator control system and further configured to support an instrument. The system is configured to display an image of a field of view of an imaging device, the image of the field of view including an image of the instrument, receive a menu activation input, and display, in response to receiving the menu activation input and in the image of the field of view, a menu.
1 . A system comprising:
an operator control system;
a manipulator configured for operation by an operator control device of the operator control system and further configured to support an instrument; and
wherein the system is configured to:
display an image of a field of view of an imaging device, the image of the field of view including an image of the instrument;
receive a menu activation input;
in response to receiving the menu activation input, enter a menu mode for the operator control device in which the operator control device is configured to control a selector user interface element; and
display an icon representing an instrument eject function that, once activated, causes initiation of an instrument eject sequence for the instrument.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is configured to display a menu in response to entering the menu mode.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the operator control device controls movement of the selector user interface element within the menu.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to, in response to receiving the menu activation input, disable the operator control device from controlling operation of the instrument.
5 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the menu includes a plurality of menu items representing a plurality of functions.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of functions includes a function for the instrument.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the instrument eject function is activated after a hold-off period following selection of the icon.
8 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the plurality of functions includes an exit function to exit the menu.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the system is further configured to display a progress indicator in response to a selection of the icon representing the instrument eject function.
10 . The system of claim 2 , further comprising a stereo viewer for displaying a stereo view of the field of view and wherein the image of the field of view and the menu are displayed by the stereo viewer.
11 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the system is further configured to cause haptic feedback to be provided to the operator control device while in the menu mode of the operator control device.
12 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the menu activation input is received from a clutch mechanism of the operator control system.
13 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the system is configured to display the menu proximate to the image of the instrument and superimposed on the image of the field of view.
14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein causing haptic feedback to be provided to the operator control device while in the menu mode of the operator control device comprises causing haptic feedback to be provided to the operator control device in response to selection of a menu item within the menu.
15 . A method comprising:
displaying an image of a field of view of an imaging device, the image of the field of view including an image of an instrument, wherein the instrument is supported by a manipulator and wherein the manipulator is configured for operation by an operator control device of an operator control system;
receiving a menu activation input;
in response to receiving the menu activation input, entering a menu mode for the operator control device in which the operator control device is configured to control a selector user interface element; and
displaying an icon representing an instrument eject function that, once activated, causes initiation of an instrument eject sequence for the instrument.
16 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising displaying a menu in response to entering the menu mode.
17 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising activating the instrument eject function after a hold-off period following selection of the icon.
18 . The method of claim 15 , further comprising displaying a progress indicator in response to a selection of the icon representing the instrument eject function.
19 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising a plurality of machine-readable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a system, cause the system to:
display an image of a field of view of an imaging device, the image of the field of view including an image of an instrument, wherein the instrument is supported by a manipulator and wherein the manipulator is configured for operation by an operator control device of an operator control system;
receive a menu activation input;
in response to receiving the menu activation input, enter a menu mode for the operator control device in which the operator control device is configured to control a selector user interface element; and
display an icon representing an instrument eject function that, once activated, causes initiation of an instrument eject sequence for the instrument.
20 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of machine-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to display a menu in response to entering the menu mode.
21 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 19 , wherein the plurality of machine-readable instructions, when executed by the one or more processors, further cause the system to activate the instrument eject function after a hold-off period following selection of the icon.
