System and method for connecting devices to a neurostimulator
First Claim
1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
- receive user input through a user interface to select and drag a lead body that is graphically displayed on the user interface;
instruct the user interface to display a drag of the graphically-displayed lead body in response to the user input to select and drag;
receive user input through the user interface to drop the graphically-displayed lead body on a graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port; and
instruct the user interface to display a drop of the graphically-displayed lead body on the graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port in response to the user input to drop, and define, based on the drop, 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.

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.

12. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
-
define a connection between a user-selected lead body and a user selected neurostimulator output port using lead bodies and neurostimulator output ports that are graphically displayed on the user interface, wherein defining the connection includes; responding to user interface commands to drag a connector from a user-selected one of the displayed lead bodies to a user-selected one of the neurostimulator output ports by instructing the user interface to display the connector being dragged from the user-selected one of the displayed lead bodies to the user selected one of the neurostimulator ports; and responding to user interface commands to drop the connector onto the user-selected neurostimulator output port by instructing the user interface to display the connector being dropped onto the user-selected neurostimulator port. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:
-
instruct a user interface to graphically display lead bodies and at least one neurostimulator output port, and to receive a selection through the user interface of a first lead body from at least two lead bodies available for selection; instruct the user interface to graphically display a first connector upon receiving the selection of the first lead body; receive a user instruction to drag the graphically-displayed first connector to a first one of the at least one neurostimulator output port, and in response to receiving the user instruction to drag the graphically-displayed first connector, instruct the user interface to display the first connector being dragged to the first one of the at least one graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port; receive a user instruction to drop the graphically-displayed first connector onto a first one of the at least one neurostimulator output port, and in response to receiving the user instruction to drop the graphically-displayed first connector, instruct the user interface to display the first connector being dropped onto the first one of the at least one graphically-displayed neurostimulator output port; and define a first connection between the first lead body and the first one of the at least one neurostimulator output port. - View Dependent Claims (19)
