System and method for pairing a command device incorporating a microphone to a remotely controlled medical system
First Claim
1. A system for pairing a command device incorporating a microphone to a remotely controlled medical system, comprising:
- a command device incorporating a microphone;
a controller in communication with the command device incorporating a microphone;
a medical device operable by the controller; and
a generator coupled to the controller that generates a sound;
said command device incorporating a microphone is paired to said controller for operating said medical device by;
said generator producing said sound;
said microphone transmitting a signal in response to the sound to said controller to verify the pairing of the microphone to the controller such that the controller will only operate the medical device in response to a command issued near the generator;
an input device associated with the microphone that sends the command to the controller;
software executing on said input device for detecting said sound;
software executing on said input device for comparing said sound with a lookup table to determine a corresponding controller; and
software executing on said input device for transmitting pairing and logon instructions to said corresponding controller.

Abstract
The system includes a remotely controlled medical system having a controller in communication with a command device incorporating a microphone. The system further includes a medical device operable by the controller and a sound generator coupled to the controller. The command device incorporating a microphone is paired to the controller for operating the medical device by detecting the sound. The command device incorporating a microphone transmits a signal in response to the sound to the controller to verify the pairing of the command device incorporating a microphone to the controller such that the controller will only operate the medical device in response to a command issued near the sound generator.
