User interfaces for electrosurgical tools in robotic surgical systems
First Claim
1. A method for a minimally invasive surgical system, the method comprising:
- capturing one or more camera images of a surgical site;
generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including a first border portion in a first side and a second border portion in a second side opposite the first side, the first border portion indicating a first electrosurgical tool controlled by a first master grip of a surgeon console and the second border portion indicating a tool type of a second tool controlled by a second master grip of the surgeon console; and
overlaying the GUI onto the one or more captured camera images of the surgical site for display on at least one display device of the surgeon console, the GUI to provide information to a user regarding the first electrosurgical tool and the second tool in the surgical site while the surgical site is concurrently displayed by the one or more captured camera images.

Abstract
A method for a minimally invasive surgical system is disclosed including capturing camera images of a surgical site; generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including a first colored border portion in a first side and a second colored border in a second side opposite the first side; and overlaying the GUI onto the captured camera images of the surgical site for display on a display device of a surgeon console. The GUI provides information to a user regarding the first electrosurgical tool and the second tool in the surgical site that is concurrently displayed by the captured camera images. The first colored border portion in the GUI indicates that the first electrosurgical tool is controlled by a first master grip of the surgeon console and the second colored border portion indicates the tool type of the second tool controlled by a second master grip of the surgeon console.
