Patent Issued for Remotely controlling a system using video (USPTO 11786325).

A user of the mobile device may interact with the robotic surgical system and control information to indicate a desired state of operation for the robotic surgical system via a video signal, wherein the video signal comprises first data representing an image or video captured by the mobile device and second data representing the control information. The auxiliary system can embed control information within image data transmitted in the video signal to control modes of operation of the primary system. The robot surgical system may decode the control information from the video signal and modify a mode of operation of the console based on the control information. [Extracted from the article]
