To provide a system and method for controlling a surgical devices by determining states related with surgical staff members and the surgical devices.SOLUTION: A computer system, such as a surgical hub 211801, can be configured to be communicatively coupled to a surgical device 211810 and a camera 211802 configured to view an operating room. The computer system may be programmed to receive images of surgical staff members 211803 and surgical devices within an operating room during a surgical procedure. The computer system may further determine states or characteristics associated with the surgical staff members and the surgical devices, such as whether a surgical staff member is performing a specific gesture 211804, or a posture of the surgical device such as a surgical instrument, during a surgical procedure. Then, accordingly, the computer system can control the paired surgical devices.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 16 【課題】手術スタッフ員及び外科用装置に関連した状態を判定し、外科用装置を制御するためのシステム及び方法を提供する。【解決手段】外科用ハブ２１１８０１などのコンピュータシステムが、外科用装置２１１８１０と、手術室を見るように構成されているカメラ２１１８０２とに通信可能に連結されるように構成され得る。コンピュータシステムは、外科処置中の手術室内の手術スタッフ員２１１８０３及び外科用装置の画像を受信するようにプログラムされ得る。コンピュータシステムは、更に、外科処置中に、手術スタッフ員が特定のジェスチャ２１１８０４を行っているかどうかなど、手術スタッフ員及び外科用装置に関連した状態若しくは特質、又は外科用器具などの外科用装置の姿勢を判定し得る。その後、それに応じて、コンピュータシステムは、ペアリングされた外科用装置を制御し得る。【選択図】図１６
