User interface with toolbar for programming electrical stimulation therapy
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- presenting on a display at least one view of a representation of a stimulation region and a first field shape group;
presenting on the display an implementation toolbar having at least one implementation icon that controls how stimulation therapy is changed in a time domain from the at least one first field shape group to at least one second field shape group;
receiving input defining the at least one second field shape group from a user; and
receiving control input from the user via the implementation toolbar that defines the change from the at least one first field shape group to the at least one second field shape group in the time domain.

Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a user interface with a menu that facilitates stimulation therapy programming. The user interface displays a representation of the electrical leads implanted in the patient and at least one menu with icons that the user can use to adjust the stimulation therapy. The user may drag one or more field shapes from a field shape selection menu onto the desired location relative to the electrical leads. A manipulation tool menu may also allow the user to adjust the field shapes placed on the electrical leads, which represent the stimulation region. The programmer that includes the user interface then generates electrical stimulation parameter values for the stimulator to deliver stimulation according to the field shapes or field shape groups defined/located by the user. The field shapes may represent different types of stimulation representations, such as current density, activation functions, and neuron models.

10. A programmer comprising:
-
a display; a processor that presents on the display at least one view of a representation of a stimulation region, at least one first field shape group within the representation of the stimulation region, and an implementation toolbar having at least one implementation icon that controls how stimulation therapy is changed in a time domain from the at least one first field shape group to at least one second field shape group; and a user interface that receives input defining the at least one second field shape group and control input via the implementation toolbar that defines the change from the at least one first field shape group to the at least one second field shape group in the time domain. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)
