Method and apparatus for remote or collaborative control of an imaging system
First Claim
1. A method for remote or collaborative control of an imaging system, the imaging system associated with an application model located at a first location and the application model being in communication with the imaging system, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a first user interface at the first location;
providing a second user interface at a second location, in response to a request for remote or collaborative control of the imaging system at the second location; and
communicating with the application model via at least one of the first user interface and the second user interface.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for remote or collaborative control of an imaging system included in an imaging system environment is disclosed herein. The environment provides an alternate user interface at a location where the remote or collaborative control of the imaging system will occur. The alternate user interface is generated by an application model included in or proximate to the imaging system. The application model is in communication with the alternate user interface. The alternate user interface may be located remote or local with respect to the imaging system.

31. An apparatus for remote or collaborative control of an imaging system, the apparatus comprising:
-
first means for interfacing at a first location;
second means for interfacing at a second location, in response to a request for remote or collaborative control of the imaging system at the second location; and
means for updating located at the first location and configured to receive a second command from the second means for interfacing and transmit a second interface update to the second means for interfacing in response to the second command. - View Dependent Claims (32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45)

46. An image generated by the steps comprising:
-
providing a first user interface at a first location and a second user interface at a second location;
commanding an imaging system located at a third location with a command from at least one of the first user interface and the second user interface; and
generating an interface update in response to the command to the imaging system, the interface update including data representative of the image, wherein the second user interface is provided at the second location when a remote or collaborative control of the imaging system is requested by a user at the second location. - View Dependent Claims (47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58)
