Voice controlled user interface for remote navigation systems
First Claim
1. A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen or catheter, the method comprising:
- displaying an image of a body lumen or cavity divided into a plurality of segments;
displaying a label for at least one of the segments;
receiving oral commands and recognizing one of the spoken displayed segment labels;
causing the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the device in a predetermined direction associated with the segment corresponding to the recognized segment label.

Abstract
A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen, the method comprising: displaying an exterior image of the body lumen; superimposing an indicator of the current position of the medical device in the body lumen; displaying a plurality of segment labels; receiving oral commands and recognizing one of the spoken displayed segment labels; and causing the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the device in a preselected direction associated with the segment corresponding to the displayed segment label.

26. A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen or catheter, the method comprising:
giving oral commands including a label associated with a segment of the body lumen or catheter to an interface system capable of recognizing the oral label and operating the remote navigation system to orient the distal end of the device in a predetermined direction associated with the segment corresponding to the recognized segment label.

27. A method of controlling a remote navigation system that remotely orients the distal end of the medical device in order to navigate a medical device through a body lumen, the method comprising:
-
while advancing the medical device under the control of the user, alternately determining the position of a medical device in the body lumen; and
automatically orienting the distal end of the medical device in the direction of the centerline of the medical device at the current location with the lumen based on a voice command from the user.
