Method and device for remote control of medical apparatus using a remote control device
First Claim
1. An operating table control apparatus, comprising:
- a remote control device;
a first transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to the remote control device; and
a second transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to a first operating table;
wherein the first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a request command to the second transmitting-receiving device;
wherein after receiving the request command from the first transmitting-receiving device, the second transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a device address of the first operating table to the first transmitting-receiving device;
wherein the first transmitting-receiving device is configured to adopt the device address received from the second transmitting-receiving device, establishing a paired operating state between the first transmitting-receiving device and the second transmitting-receiving device;
wherein the first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit both a control command and the device address to the second transmitting-receiving device;
wherein the second transmitting-receiving device is configured to cyclically transmit the device address to the first transmitting-receiving device; and
wherein the first transmitting-receiving device and the second transmitting-receiving device remain in the paired operating state provided that the second transmitting-receiving device cyclically transmits the device address to the first transmitting-receiving device.

Abstract
An operating table control apparatus is disclosed. The operating table control apparatus has a remote control device, a first transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to the remote control device, and a second transmitting-receiving device that is mountable to a first operating table. The first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a request command to the second transmitting-receiving device. After receiving the request command from the first transmitting-receiving device, the second transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit a device address of the first operating table to the first transmitting-receiving device. The first transmitting-receiving device is configured to adopt the device address received from the second transmitting-receiving device, establishing a paired operating state between the first transmitting-receiving device and the second transmitting-receiving device. The first transmitting-receiving device is configured to transmit both a control command and the device address to the second transmitting-receiving device.

9. A method, comprising:
-
sending a request command to an operating table infrared device via a remote control infrared device; receiving a device address from the operating table infrared device via the remote control infrared device; storing the device address; establishing a paired operating state between the operating table infrared device and the remote control infrared device based on the device address; sending both a control command and the device address to the operating table infrared device via the remote control infrared device; and canceling the paired operating state when a line of sight between the operating table infrared device and the remote control infrared device is blocked, the remote control infrared device is moved, or another device address from another operating table is received by the remote control infrared device. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
