Abstract
A system and method for presenting function data associated with a user input device at a main display in response to a presence signal provided via the user input device is provided. The method includes receiving, at a processor of an ultrasound system, a presence signal from a presence sensor of a user input device of the ultrasound system. The presence signal is provided by the presence sensor in response to a detection of a user at a proximity to the user input device. The presence signal is independent from an actuation signal provided by the user input device in response to user actuation of the user input device. The method includes processing, by the processor, the presence signal to present function data identifying a functionality of the user input device at a main display of the ultrasound system.
