  • a foot switch connected to the treatment chair is used for example, for storing images recorded with a video camera and displayed on a monitor, for example, a patient's oral cavity on the computer.
  • de Commands are transmitted to the computer via an interface of the treatment chair and there cause the corresponding storage command to be executed within the application.
  • Other operations of the PC application are only possible using standard operating elements of the PC, usually the keyboard and mouse.
  • a medical image display system is known from US Pat. No. 5,961,610, which has the possibility of being programmable. Among other things, provision is made to display several images in a display area without overlap. It is possible to create a script in a window to influence the execution of the program. This script is to be understood as an independent small program that can be checked for proper operation in a debugger. The assignment of the function keys themselves is not explained, so it can be assumed that they are carried out according to the prior art through fixed programming.
  • the object of the invention is to provide an arrangement and a method which make it possible to control a computer connected to a dental treatment station in an efficient manner.
  • the arrangement for operating a dental treatment station connected to a computer, with operating elements and / or status indicators arranged at the dental treatment station, with an interface via which information in the form of function codes about the operating elements and / or status indicators is transmitted from the dental treatment station to the computer with a Memory area on the computer in which actions assigned to one or more function codes are stored is characterized in that software that manages these function codes is provided on the computer, via which the assigned action stored in a configuration file for the function codes starts, namely starting or closing an PC application or an operating action in a running PC application, and that the assignments of function codes of the operating elements and / or status indicators of the dental treatment station to the PC actions by changing the configuration file con are figureable.
  • the interface can be used by external PC applications to the extent of the commands available there.
  • the action assigned to the function codes also changes, for example by calling up an appropriate configuration file in which the new assignments are stored.
  • the software has a setting dialog with which the assignment can be made by the user.
  • the assignment of the control element depends on the active PC application. Farther the affected control element can have different action assignments for different PC applications.
  • the interface is advantageously designed such that information about the occupancy of the operating element can be transmitted from the computer to the dental treatment station and can be perceived via the user interface.
  • a method for controlling a dental treatment station connected to a computer comprises the steps of actuating an operating element arranged at the dental treatment station and / or activating a status indicator and generating information about this at the dental treatment station, transmitting the information in the form of one or more function codes from the Dental treatment station on the computer, comparison of the information in the form of one or more function codes with a configuration file in a memory area on the computer and execution of the action assigned to an information in a configuration file and is characterized in that the comparison of the information by a management that manages this assignment, software independent of the PC applications used is provided, via which the action is carried out, namely starting or closing a PC application and / or an operator action in a running PC application, and that d ie software via a setting dialog in which the assignments of function codes of the control elements and / or
  • control element can also depend on the active PC application his .
  • control element concerned has different action assignments for different PC applications.
  • the assignments are advantageously displayed on the user interface of the dental device.
  • the PC context reported back via the interface can be displayed or an application-specific user interface can be displayed.
  • the invention enables a configurable, user-specific assignment of operations at the dental work station or of defined changes in state of the dental work station to PC functions.
  • the existing user interface of the dental workstation is used to control the various PC applications.
  • the design of the user interface of the dental work station can take place depending on the PC state, i. H. the active PC application or by direct control of the PC application.
  • the user is thus able to operate the PC applications used at the dental workstation. also perform other functions used in the PC network without standard PC controls and to configure them individually. Furthermore, the PC application-dependent mapping of PC operation on the user interface of the dental workstation leads to a high operating potential. From the user's point of view, the operation of the dental device and the PC (internal / external) are merged with the ergonomic operating advantages of the dental workplace.
  • the dental workstations are configured on a PC-related basis
  • the operating Surface of the dental workstation for PC control can be configured to be configurable depending on the PC application.

  • the assignments are shown and the PC context reported back via the interface is displayed.
  • an application-specific user interface can be displayed.
  • the interface-managing PC software captures the PC context, i.e. it recognizes the active application and the corresponding application change. This detection can take place, for example, through mechanisms of the PC operating system, but also through messages from the active application to the PC software.
  • the definition of the context changes with which the user interface 12 of the dental work station 1 is assigned which function assignments becomes part of the configuration file. Depending on the configuration, new assignments of function codes to PC actions take effect when the context changes.
  • the PC context or the function assignment of individual control elements 3 can be expanded by conventional display elements, but preferably graphically on the user interface 12 of the dental work station.
  • the graphic contents of the displays can also be assigned in the configuration file and this information 11 can be loaded into the dental work station 1 via the interface 5, 6 if necessary and there on the user interface 12 be displayed.
