2. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed in response to said gesture.
3. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed based on subsequent accessing of said operation data.
4. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed in response to bi-directional request of said operation data between said medical device and said second device.
5. The medical device of claim 1 , further comprising:
memory for storing said operation data.
6. The medical device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a mode controller for controlling a mode of said medical device based on said gesture.
7. The medical device of claim 1 , further comprising:
a privilege determiner for determining privileges of a user.
8. The medical device of claim 1 , wherein said operation determiner further comprising:
a device state determiner for determining a state of said medical device, wherein said determining said operation to be performed by said medical device is based, in part, on said state of said medical device.
9. A mobile device comprising:
an operation determiner for determining an operation to be performed by a medical device in response to a gesture of said mobile device with respect to said medical device, wherein said gesture is sensed by a gesture sensor selected from a group consisting of: an accelerometer and a gyroscope; and
an operation data accessor for accessing operation data for said operation performed by said medical device.
10. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed in response to said gesture.
11. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed based on subsequent accessing of said operation data.
12. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein said operation comprises:
an operation performed in response to bi-directional request of said operation data between said medical device and a second device.
13. The mobile device of claim 9 , further comprising:
memory for storing said operation data.
14. The mobile device of claim 9 , further comprising:
a mode controller for controlling a mode of said medical device based on said gesture.
15. The mobile device of claim 9 , further comprising:
a privilege determiner for determining privileges of a user.
16. The mobile device of claim 9 , wherein said operation determiner further comprising:
a device state determiner for determining a state of said medical device, wherein said determining said operation to be performed by said medical device is based, in part, on said state of said medical device.
17. A method for performing an operation by a medical device, said method comprising:
determining an operation to be performed by said medical device, wherein said determination is in response to a gesture of a second device with respect to said medical device, wherein said gesture is sensed by a gesture sensor selected from a group consisting of: an accelerometer and a gyroscope;
accessing operation data for said operation performed by said medical device; and
performing said operation based, in part, on said gesture.
18. The method of claim 17 , wherein said accessing operation data for operation performed by said medical device comprises:
accessing operation data by said medical device.
19. The method of claim 17 , wherein said accessing operation data for operation performed by said medical device comprises:
accessing operation data by said second device.
20. The method of claim 17 , wherein said accessing operation data for operation performed by said medical device comprises:
accessing operation data from a medical management system.
21. The method of claim 17 , wherein said performing said operation based, in part, on said gesture comprising:
performing said operation in response to said gesture.
22. The method of claim 17 , wherein said performing said operation based, in part, on said gesture comprising:
performing said operation subsequent said accessing of said operation data.
23. The method of claim 17 , wherein said performing said operation based, in part, on said gesture comprising:
performing said operation in response to a bi-directional request of said operation data between said medical device and said second device.
24. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
determining user privileges, wherein said determining an operation to be performed by said medical device is based, in part, on said privileges.
25. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
determining a state of said medical device, wherein said determining an operation to be performed by said medical device is based, in part, on said state of said device.
26. The method of claim 17 , further comprising:
controlling a mode of said medical device based on said gesture.
