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 33):
A method for preventing contamination in a scope handling workflow with use of non-contact human-machine input, comprising electronic operations performed by an input-controllable electronic system, the electronic operations including:\n capturing a non-contact human-machine input provided by a human in a contamination-sensitive environment, the contamination-sensitive environment involving an endoscope being tracked in the scope handling workflow; identifying a stage of a scope handling workflow involving the endoscope, wherein the captured non-contact human-machine input corresponds to an activity performed on the endoscope in the identified stage of the scope handling workflow; determining a command of the input-controllable electronic system based on recognition of the non-contact human-machine input, wherein the command is available to be performed in the identified stage of the scope handling workflow; and performing the command in the input-controllable electronic system, the command causing the activity to be performed with the input-controllable electronic system to affect the scope handling workflow.
