Patent ID: 8417542

Claim:
A computer-implemented method of a mode server, comprising: authenticating, by a computer processor, a laser-based medical instrument based on an identifier associated with the laser-based medical instrument; authenticating, by the computer processor, a user of the laser-based medical instrument based on a password; generating, by the computer processor, a graphical representation of the laser-based medical instrument; providing, by the computer processor, a set of rules associated with the laser-based medical instrument based on the identifier and the user; generating, by the computer processor, a custom mode of operation of the laser-based medical instrument based on a response of the user; creating a name associated with the custom mode of operation; automatically programming, by the computer processor, the laser-based medical instrument based on the custom mode; sharing, by the computer processor, the custom mode with other users and other similar laser-based medical instruments based on the set of rules and a preference of the user; automatically associating, by the computer processor, the user with other users based on similarities identified in at least one of a profile data, a preference data, and a similarity of the custom mode with other custom modes; creating, by the computer processor, at least one of a rating score, a feedback score, and a review of the custom mode in a social community when users provide information as to effectiveness of a medical treatment procedure using the custom mode; and indicating, through the set of rules, what range of frequencies and what range of pulse durations are configurable in the laser-based medical instrument, wherein the indication is generated using a processor, and wherein the graphical representation of the laser-based medical instrument is a visual representation of a physical region of the medical instrument in which at least one of a laser diode and a light-emitting diode (LED) light are housed, wherein the custom mode of operation is a coordinated delivery of laser light and LED light through the laser-based medical instrument, and wherein the laser-based medical instrument is a portable hand-held electronic unit that contains laser diodes and LEDs and is configured to varying wavelengths and frequency ranges for the treatment of medical conditions affecting a biological medium.
