Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for controlling a device implanted in a human or animal body on the basis of voluntary commands issued by a user without the use of any external peripheral. The user issues a voluntary command to the implanted device by applying a specific and predetermined code, consisting of at least one mechanical action and of at least one additional piece of information. Each mechanical action and each additional piece of information are measured by at least one sensor. The output signal(s) of the sensor(s) are processed and used to validate the predetermined code by means of the identification of at least one mechanical action executed by the user and combined with at least one piece of additional information, and the comparison thereof with a corresponding reference model. The invention further relates to a method for detecting an actuation control of an implantable device.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for controlling a device implanted in an animal or human body, on the basis of commands issued by a user comprising:\n at least one sensor adapted for measuring mechanical actions exerted voluntarily by the user on or in the body in which the device is implanted, a control unit adapted for:\n processing at least one signal coming from said sensor, \n detecting a predetermined code issued by the user in said signal, according to a pattern comprising at least one mechanical action and at least one supplemental information detectable by said sensor(s), \n identifying each mechanical action and each supplemental information measured in a portion of said signal; \n comparing characteristics of each portion of said signal with a corresponding reference model of the signal characteristics, the control unit comprising a memory in which is stored at least one reference model of said signal characteristics, \n determining, from said signal comparison, whether said at least one measured mechanical action and said at least one supplemental information actually belong to said predetermined code, and \n sending a predetermined order to said implanted device if the applied pattern corresponds to the predetermined code, \n wherein said sensor and said control unit are implantable in said animal or human body.
