System and method for connecting devices to a neurostimulator
First Claim
1. A system, comprising:
- a user interface to receive user input, and graphically display lead bodies and at least one neurostimulator output port; and
control circuitry operably connected to the user interface to define a connection between a lead body and a neurostimulator output port in response to user input received via the user interface, wherein the control circuitry is configured to drag a graphically-displayed connector from a user-selected lead body to one of the at least one graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port and drop the graphically-displayed connector onto the graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port, the user-selected lead body being one of two or more lead bodies available for selection.

Abstract
A method for defining connections between a plurality of lead bodies and a plurality of output ports of a neurostimulator, and an external control device for performing the method are disclosed. The external control device includes a user interface and control circuitry. The method includes displaying the lead bodies and the output ports of the neurostimulator; selecting a first one of the lead bodies; dragging a connector from the first lead body to a first one of the output ports of the neurostimulator; and dropping the connector onto the first output port of the neurostimulator, thereby defining a connection between the first lead body and the first output port of the neurostimulator. In another embodiment, a method includes defining the connection between the first lead body and the first output port, and graphically displaying the connection between the first lead body and the first output port of the neurostimulator.

16. A method, comprising:
defining a connection between a user-selected lead body and a user selected neurostimulator output port using displayed lead bodies on a user interface and displayed neurostimulator output ports that are graphically displayed on the user interface, wherein defining the connection includes; dragging a connector from a user-selected one of the displayed lead bodies to a user-selected one of the neurostimulator output ports; and dropping the connector onto the user-selected neurostimulator output port. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18)

19. A method, receiving user input to select and drag a graphically-displayed lead body;
-
dragging the graphically-displayed lead body on a user interface in response to the user input to select and drag; receiving user input to drop the graphically-displayed lead body on a graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port; dropping the graphically displayed lead body on the graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port in response to user input, and defining, based on the dropping of the graphically-displayed lead body on the graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port, a connection between a lead body corresponding to the graphically-displayed lead body and a neurostimulator output port corresponding to the graphically-displayed neurostimulator output. - View Dependent Claims (20)
