Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne la commande du déplacement d'au moins une partie d'une table d'opération.The present invention relates to controlling the movement of at minus part of an operating table.
Les tables d'opération sont aujourd'hui commandées à partir de boítiers de télécommande, à fil ou à transmission infrarouge, et, classiquement, de pédales doublant ou complémentant la télécommande.The operating tables are now ordered from boxes remote control, wire or infrared transmission, and, conventionally, pedals doubling or complementing the remote control.
Les télécommandes, notamment sans fil, sont d'un usage facile mais imposent une manipulation de la part de l'équipe chirurgicale, avec les problèmes de disponibilité de ces dernières, d'accessibilité de la commande et surtout d'asepsie du boítier de télécommande.The remote controls, especially wireless, are easy to use but require manipulation by the surgical team, with problems of availability of the latter, accessibility of the order and especially asepsis of the remote control.
La présente invention a pour objet de proposer un système de commande vocale de table d'opération s'affranchissant des problèmes de manipulation et d'asepsie tout en présentant une grande sécurité de mise en oeuvre.The object of the present invention is to propose a system for operating table voice control without problems manipulation and asepsis while presenting a high security of implementation artwork.
Pour ce faire, selon l'invention, il est proposé un système de commande d'au moins un déplacement, sous l'effet d'un actionneur, d'au moins une partie d'une table d'opération, comprenant, en série, au moins un microphone, un dispositif discriminateur d'un profil vocal individuel, un dispositif de reconnaissance de voix, et une unité de commande électronique actionnant l'actionneur en réponse à un ordre vocal prononcé dans le microphone.To do this, according to the invention, a system is proposed. control of at least one movement, under the effect of an actuator, of at least part of an operating table, comprising, in series, at least one microphone, a device that discriminates from an individual voice profile, a voice recognition device, and an electronic control unit actuating the actuator in response to a voice command in the microphone.
Avec un tel système, un chirurgien, dûment habilité et enregistré, peut commander seul et avec une totale sécurité tous les mouvements de la table, sans nécessiter l'aide d'une tierce personne, y compris dans un environnement bruyant. With such a system, a duly authorized and registered surgeon can order alone and with total security all table movements, without requiring the assistance of a third person, including in an environment noisy.
La présente invention sera mieux comprise au vu de la description suivante d'un mode de réalisation, donné à titre illustratif mais nullement limitatif, fait en relation avec les dessins annexés, sur lesquels :
- la figure 1 est une représentation schématique d'une utilisation d'une table d'opération munie d'un système de commande selon l'invention; et
- la figure 2 est un bloc diagramme d'un système de commande vocale selon l'invention.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a use of an operating table provided with a control system according to the invention; and
- Figure 2 is a block diagram of a voice control system according to the invention.
Sur la figure 1 on reconnaít les éléments principaux d'une table
d'opération moderne 1, à savoir un plateau 2 constitué de plusieurs parties
articulées les unes par rapport aux autres sous l'effet de vérins actionneurs 3,
et un socle 4 supportant le plateau 2 via une colonne télescopique 5
incorporant au moins un vérin de montée/descente et des capteurs de
montée/descente. Au moins une partie des mouvements de la table peut être
commandée directement par au moins une pédale 6 supportée par le socle 4.In Figure 1 we recognize the main elements of a table
of
En référence également avec la figure 2, le système de commande
selon l'invention comprend un microphone 7 supporté par un praticien et relié,
avantageusement par voix hertzienne, de préférence numérique, via un
émetteur-convertisseur analogique/numérique 8 et un récepteur 9 associé à la
table 1, à un boítier de commande 10 contenant un bloc discriminateur 11, un
bloc de reconnaissance de phrases 12 relié à un microprocesseur 13
fournissant en sortie des signaux transmis à un décodeur d'adresses 14 pour
transmettre les signaux de commande à des convertisseurs, typiquement
numériques/analogiques 15 commandant chacun un actionneur ou vérin 3.Referring also to Figure 2, the control system
according to the invention comprises a
Le système de commande comporte en outre une pédale de validation
16 reliée au microprocesseur 13 actionnée par le praticien pour valider les
ordres vocaux et assurer, en traitement prioritaire, avec réponse immédiate, la
fonction STOP.The control system also includes a
La totalité des instructions vocales étant directement transformées et traitées en numérique, les problèmes d'interférences avec les nombreuses sources électromagnétiques dans une salle d'opération sont quasiment éliminés. All of the voice instructions are directly transformed and digital, interference problems with the many electromagnetic sources in an operating room are almost eliminated.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, le bloc discriminateur 11 comprend une
zone de mémoire fixe inscriptible 110 et une zone de mémoire temporaire 111
dont au moins une partie de la mémoire est avantageusement constituée par
une puce 112 d'une carte à puce 20, personnalisée pour chaque utilisateur,
insérée dans le bloc 10.According to one aspect of the invention, the
Le fonctionnement du système est le suivant :
l'utilisateur prononce dans le microphone 7 des mots ou phrases
courtes sélectionnés (MONTER / DESCENDRE / UP / DOWN / CESSER CELA
/ RECOMMENCER CELA / STOP /, etc ...). Les spectres des mots et phrases
ainsi prononcés sont analysés dans le discriminateur 11 par comparaison avec
des mots types pré-enregistrés par l'utilisateur dans la carte 20 de sorte que
les mots ou phrases prononcés n'atteignent le bloc de reconnaissance de
phrases 12 que lorsque le bloc 11 aura reconnu une similitude à au moins
95 % du profil de la voix du locuteur s'exprimant dans le microphone 7 avec le
profil pré-enregistré dans la carte 20.The system works as follows:
the user pronounces in the
Le bloc de reconnaissance de phrases 12, comportant un logiciel tel
que celui commercialisé par la société LEXTRONIC, à technologie neuronale,
compare les mots prononcés avec des mots significatifs de commandes
enregistrées et numérise ces mots sous forme de signaux adressés au
microprocesseur 13 qui, dans un processus de type grammatical, détermine si
les mots correspondent à des ordres de commande pour l'une ou l'autre des
actionneurs particuliers 3. Si tel est le cas et si un signal de validation a été
émis par la pédale 16, le processeur 13 émet un signal qui est corrélé dans le
décodeur d'adresses 14 à l'actionneur correspondant 3, qui reçoit un signal
analogique de commande transcrit du signal de sortie du microprocesseur par
le convertisseur numérique/analogique 15 concerné.The
En sus des commandes vocales, des commandes de secours
directement par la pédale 6, ou à la place de certaines d'entre elles, des
signaux d'arrêts de manoeuvres peuvent être adressés aux convertisseurs 15
en provenance de capteurs de détection de position ou d'effort 21 fournissant
des signaux analogiques convertis dans des circuits convertisseurs
analogiques/numériques 22 en signaux adressés aux convertisseurs 15.In addition to voice commands, emergency commands
directly by
En variante également, comme représenté par la liaison en pointillés et
le raccord 17 sur la Figure 2, les dispositifs de traitement 11 et 12 peuvent être
regroupés dans un bloc intégré au micro 7 qui peut ainsi être individualisé pour
chaque praticien, ce qui permet de s'affranchir des problèmes linguistiques des
différents praticiens, des mots-clés, en différentes langues étant standardisés
et ceux effectivement utilisés et vocalisés dans le micro "personnalisé" étant
inscrits sur un tableau numéroté associé au micro.Alternatively also, as shown by the dotted line and
the
Quoique l'invention ait été décrite en relation avec un mode de réalisation particulier, elle ne s'en trouve pas limitée mais est susceptible de modifications et de variantes qui apparaítront à l'homme de métier dans le cadre des revendications qui suivent.Although the invention has been described in relation to a mode of particular achievement, it is not limited but is likely to modifications and variants which will appear to those skilled in the art in the The scope of the following claims.
