Neurostimulation system with on-effector programmer control
First Claim
1. An external control device for use with a programmable implantable medical device coupled to a plurality of operative elements, comprising:
- a user interface comprising at least one control element and a display screen configured for displaying graphical representations of the operative elements;
control circuitry configured for prompting the display screen to superimpose dedicated graphical programmer controls respectively over the graphical representations of the operative elements when the at least one control element is actuated, and modifying an operational parameter for only one operative element in response to actuation of the graphical programmer control corresponding to the one operative element; and
output circuitry configured for transmitting the modified operational parameters to the programmable implantable medical device.

Abstract
An external control device for use with a programmable implantable medical device coupled to an operative element. The external control device comprises a user interface comprising a control element and a display screen configured for displaying a graphical representation of the operative element. The external control device further comprises control circuitry configured for prompting the display screen to superimpose a graphical programmer control over the graphical representation of the operative element when the control element is actuated, and modifying an operational parameter for the operative element in response to actuation of the graphical programmer control. The external control device further comprises output circuitry configured for transmitting the modified operational parameter to the programmable implantable medical device.
