Abstract:
The invention is in particular directed to a data processing method for use in computer-assisted surgery, comprising the following steps: a) providing marker data which describe a spatial arrangement of at least one marker device and/or a change in a relative spatial arrangement of at least two marker devices (5, 6, 7); b) providing condition data which describe a condition for the spatial arrangement of at least one marker device and/or a condition for the change in the relative spatial arrangement of the at least two marker devices (5, 6, 7); and c) controlling a control flow of the data processing method on the basis of the marker data and the condition data.

Claim (Index 23):
A navigation system for computer-assisted surgery, comprising:\n a computer comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium; a single marker device; a detection device for detecting the position of the single marker device; and a program stored in the non-transitory computer readable storage medium, the program being executable by the computer to perform a method directing a control flow of the navigation system responsive to direct manual manipulation of the marker device, the method comprising:\n providing marker data which describes detected positions of the single marker device as a spatial and/or temporal movement pattern of positions of the single marker device, the detected positions of the single marker device being defined relative to an associated grid divided into a plurality of predetermined geometric divisions; \n providing condition which describe a predetermined condition for the spatial and/or temporal movement pattern of positions of the single marker device relative to a spatial region comprising at least one of the plurality of predetermined geometric divisions of the associated grid; \n determining, based on the marker data and the condition data, whether the spatial and/or temporal movement pattern of the detected positions of the single marker device fulfill the predetermined condition; and\n responsive to determining the fulfilment of the predetermined condition, selectively generating a first control flow instruction for use by the associated navigation system to control the control flow of the associated navigation system, wherein the associated navigation system is responsive to receiving the selectively generated first control flow instruction to modify an order in which steps of the control flow are executed by a computer of the associated navigation system to initiate following a first sequence of steps of the control flow; or \n responsive to determining the non-fulfilment of the predetermined condition, selectively generating a second control flow instruction for use by the associated navigation system to control the control flow of the associated navigation system, wherein the associated navigation system is responsive to receiving the selectively generated second control flow instruction to modify the order in which the steps of the control flow are executed by the computer of the associated navigation system to initiate following a second sequence of steps of the control flow, the second sequence of steps of the control flow being different than the first sequence of steps of the control flow.
