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 20):
A computer comprising:\n a processor; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program, the program being executable by the processor to perform a method directing a control flow of an associated navigation system responsive to direct manual manipulation of a single marker device, the method executable by the processor comprising:\n providing marker data which describe a temporal series of detected positions of the single marker device as a temporal and spatial movement pattern of the detected positions of the single marker device, wherein the movement pattern is generated by the manipulation of the single marker device; \n providing condition data comprising an instruction pattern defining one or more predetermined conditions of the temporal and spatial movement pattern of the detected positions of the single marker device; \n determining, based on the marker data and the condition data, whether the temporal and spatial movement pattern of the detected positions of the single marker device fulfill the one or more predetermined conditions; and\n in accordance with determining the fulfilment of the one or more predetermined conditions, 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 in accordance with determining the non-fulfilment of the one or more predetermined conditions, 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.
