Claim One:
1. An electronic device for performing a computer-assisted stimulation programming of an implantable medical device, the electronic device comprising: a memory storage component configured to store programming code; and a computer processor configured to execute the programming code to perform the following operations: determining a perception threshold for each of a plurality of contacts on a lead that is configured to be implanted inside a patient, wherein the determining comprises automatically performing a first sweep of the plurality of contacts and automatically performing a second sweep of a stimulation parameter; thereafter determining a paresthesia coverage provided by the plurality of contacts by automatically performing a third sweep of the plurality of contacts and automatically performing a fourth sweep of the stimulation parameter, wherein the fourth sweep is performed based on the determined perception thresholds, and wherein the automatically performing the first sweep, the second sweep, the third sweep, and the fourth sweep are performed without needing a manual input from a human user; identifying a subset of the contacts that correspond to the paresthesia coverage; and performing, in response to user input, stimulation programming using the subset of the contacts.
