Abstract:
Embodiments of a system and method for processing and recognizing non-contact types of human input to prevent contamination are generally described herein. In example embodiments, human input is captured, recognized, and used to provide active input for control or data entry into a user interface. The human input may be provided in variety of forms detectable by recognition techniques such as speech recognition, gesture recognition, identification recognition, and facial recognition. In one example, the human input recognition techniques are used in connection with a device cleaning workflow used to obtain data and human input during cleaning procedures while minimizing cross-contamination between the contaminated device or person and other objects or persons. In another example, the human input recognition techniques are used in connection with a device tracking workflow used to obtain data and human input while tracking interactions with and locations of the contaminated or uncontaminated device.

Claim (Index 45):
An input-controllable electronic system, comprising:\n an input device to capture non-contact input provided from a human in a contamination-sensitive environment, the contamination-sensitive environment involving an endoscope being tracked in a scope handling workflow; an output device to output information, to the human, in the contamination-sensitive environment, in connection with the scope handling workflow; and processing circuitry to execute instructions to:\n obtain the non-contact input provided by the human; \n identify a stage of the scope handling workflow for operations with the endoscope, the identified stage of the scope handling workflow corresponding to the non-contact input; \n determine a command of the input-controllable electronic system from recognition on the non-contact input, the command available to be performed in the identified stage of the scope handling workflow; and \n perform the command in the input-controllable electronic system, the command causing an activity to be performed in the input-controllable electronic system to affect the scope handling workflow.
