First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system comprising:
- a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface configured to interactively display, during a programming of at least one of the parameters;
a graphical indication of a changing value of at least one of the parameters as at least one of the parameters is being programmed graphically; and
a graphical illustration of how a rule constrains the value of the at least one of the parameters being programmed graphically.

Abstract
This document describes systems, devices, and methods for programmably adjusting therapy or other operative parameter values of an implantable cardiac rhythm management device using a programmer that includes a display that graphically illustrates one or more relationship between a parameter being programmed and other parameters and/or rules governing interactions between parameters.

10. A system comprising:
a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface interactively displaying, during a programming of at least one parameter, at least one graphical bar graph indication of a changing time interval value of the at least one parameter as it is being programmed together with a corresponding graphical illustration of how every applicable rule constrains the value of the at least one parameter being programmed. - View Dependent Claims (11)

12. A method of programming an implantable cardiac rhythm management device, the method comprising:
-
providing to a user a graphical indication of a value of a first parameter being programmed graphically by the user, the graphical indication being modifiable by the user to program the value of the first parameter; and providing to the user a graphical illustration of how a rule constrains the value of the first parameter being programmed graphically by the user. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system comprising:
a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface interactively displaying together, during a programming of at least one parameter, a plurality of graphical icons corresponding to respective binary-valued parameters and an indication of how a rule limits the number of the parameters that can concurrently be programmed to a particular binary-valued state. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23)

24. A method of programming an implantable cardiac rhythm management device, the method comprising:
-
displaying to a user, in visual correspondence, graphical icons corresponding to binary-valued parameters and an indication of how a rule limits the number of the parameters that can concurrently be programmed to a particular binary-valued state, each icon being selectable to program the parameter corresponding to that icon; and receiving from the user a selection of one of the icons to program the corresponding parameter to a particular binary-valued state. - View Dependent Claims (25, 26)

27. A system comprising:
a programmer device, including a communication circuit configured to be communicatively coupled to an implantable cardiac rhythm management (CRM) device, and including a user interface configured to program a plurality of parameters used by the CRM device, the user interface configured to interactively display, during a programming of at least one of the parameters; means for graphically changing value of at least one of the parameters as at least one of the parameters is being programmed graphically; and a graphical illustration of how a rule constrains the value of the at least one of the parameters being programmed graphically. - View Dependent Claims (28, 29)
