This invention is an interface which allows a surgeon to operate multiple surgical devices (12, 14, 16, 18) from a single input device (20). The input device may be a foot pedal (20) that provides output signals (44) to actuate a number of different surgical devices (12, 14, 16, 18). The surgical device may include a robotics arm (12), a laser (16), an electrocautery device (14), or an operating table (18). The interface (40) has an input channel (42) that is coupled to the input device (20), and a plurality of output channels (46, 48, 50, 52) that are coupled to the surgical devices (12, 14, 16, 18). The interface (40) also has a select input channel (68) which can receive input commands to switch the input channel (42) to one of the output channels (46, 48, 50, 52). The select channel (62) may be coupled to a speech interface (70) that allows the surgeon to select one of the surgical devices (12, 14, 16, 18) with a voice command. The surgeon can operate any device (12, 14, 16, 18) by providing an input command which switches the input channel (42) to the desired output channel (46, 48, 50, 52).

La présente invention concerne une interface qui permet à un chirurgien de mettre en oeuvre différents instruments chirurgicaux (12, 14, 16, 18) à partir d'un unique organe d'entrée (20). L'organe d'entrée considéré, qui peut être une pédale commandée au pied (20), délivre des signaux de sortie (44) servant à actionner différents instruments chirurgicaux (12, 14, 16, 18) tels qu'un bras manipulateur (12), un laser (16), un électrocautère (14), ou une table d'opération (18). L'interface (40) comporte un canal d'entrée (42) couplé à plusieurs organes d'entrée (20) et plusieurs canaux de sortie (46, 48, 50, 52) couplés aux instruments chirurgicaux (12, 14, 16, 18). L'interface comporte également un canal d'entrée de sélection (68) prenant en compte des commandes d'entrée destinées à commuter le canal d'entrée (42) sur l'un des canaux de sortie (46, 48, 50, 52). Le canal d'entrée de sélection (68) peut être couplé à une interface vocale (70) qui permet au chirurgien de commander à la voix la sélection de l'un des instruments chirurgicaux (12, 14, 16, 18). Le chirurgien peut ainsi mettre en oeuvre n'importe lequel des instruments (12, 14, 16, 18) en fournissant une commande d'entrée qui commute le canal d'entrée (42) sur le canal de sortie (46, 48, 50, 52) désiré.
