The video recording apparatus 200 can record an image photographed by the inspection apparatus 300 and control the inspection apparatus 300. [ The image recording apparatus 200 may be an external device using a protocol different from that of the medical monitor 100. For example, it may be a Stryker Digital Capture 3 (SDC3) of Stryker Co., operating room devices. Here, the video recording apparatus 200 can communicate with another OR device using an RS232 protocol called Stryker SIDNE protocol.

The examination apparatus 300 is an apparatus for photographing a patient's body at the time of examination or surgery, and may be, for example, an endoscopy system. However, the examination apparatus is not limited to the endoscope apparatus, and may include various apparatuses for photographing the body of the patient.

2, the medical monitor 102 without the wireless module 150 can perform communication and control with the video recording apparatus 200 through the external device adapter 150. [ Here, the external device adapter 150 may be, for example, a command box called an External Device Adapter Module (EDAM).

The wireless module 150 or the external device adapter 150 receives a command from the video recording apparatus 200 and converts the command into a command that can be processed by the medical monitor 100 and sends the command to the medical monitor 100 It can send out.

For example, the storage unit 130 may store monitor related settings such as brightness, saturation, contrast, color temperature, gamma, sharpness, etc., or peripherals related settings such as line in and line out volume, speaker volume, And the like can be stored.

The setting processing unit 140 can process the integrated image setting between the video recording apparatus 200 that is an external apparatus and the medical monitor 100. [ That is, after the medical monitor 100 is powered on, the setting processing unit 140 transmits the setting parameters stored in the storage unit 130 according to a setting parameter request from the video recording apparatus 200, The setting parameters between the medical monitor 200 and the medical monitor 100 can be matched.

The setting processing unit 140 may change the setting parameters of the storage unit 130 in response to the setting change request from the video recording apparatus 200 to update the setting parameters of the storage unit 130, The setting parameters can be matched. At this time, the setting processing unit 140 may transmit an acknowledgment (ACK) to the video recording apparatus 200 indicating that the update of the medical monitor 100 is completed.

When the user changes the setting of the medical monitor 100 through the input unit 110, the setting processing unit 140 sets the setting change to the video recording apparatus 200 to match the setting with the video recording apparatus 200 Can be requested. At this time, the setting processing unit 140 checks whether a setting change acknowledgment (ACK) is received from the video recording apparatus 200. If the setting change acknowledgment (ACK) is not received, the setting processing unit 140 waits for a certain period of time Lt; / RTI >

The wireless module 150 includes a protocol conversion unit 152 for converting protocols when communicating with the video recording apparatus 200 and a wireless communication unit 154 for wireless communication with the video recording apparatus 200.

The protocol converting unit 152 can convert the protocol of the video recording apparatus 200 to the protocol of the medical monitor 100. [ At this time, the protocol conversion unit 152 may convert the setting command from the video recording apparatus 200 to correspond to the setting parameter of the medical monitor 100. [ The protocol conversion unit 152 converts the SIDNE protocol of the video recording apparatus 200 into the VEHD protocol of the medical monitor 100 and transmits the protocol to the setting processing unit 140 of the medical monitor 100 through the serial communication RS232C .

The wireless communication unit 154 may perform wireless communication with the wireless module 210 of the video recording apparatus 200. The wireless communication unit 154 can perform the HD wireless video wireless communication scheme.

2, the medical monitor 102 in which the wireless module 150 is not embedded is connected to the video recording apparatus 200 through an external device adapter 150 having a function similar to that of the wireless module 150 .

The external device adapter 150 does not include the wireless communication unit 154 and can connect the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitor 102 in a serial communication manner differently from the wireless module 150. [ Therefore, the external device adapter 150 may include only the protocol conversion unit 152 of the wireless module 150. [

The video recording apparatus 200 can match the setting parameters between the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitor 100 by comparing the setting parameters transmitted from the medical monitor 100 with the preset setting parameters. 1, the video recording apparatus 200 includes a wireless module 210, a setting management unit 220, an input unit 230, and a storage unit 240. [

That is, the wireless module 150 can perform wireless communication with the wireless communication unit 154 in the HD Wireless video wireless system.

The setting management unit 220 can confirm the setting of the medical monitor 100 after the communication with the medical monitor 100 is established. For example, when the wireless communication with the medical monitor 100 having the wireless module 150 built therein is established, the setting management unit 220 can request the setting parameter of the medical monitor 100 and compare the setting parameter with the stored parameter. Alternatively, the setting management unit 220 may be configured such that, even when the external device adapter 150 is connected between the medical monitor 102 not incorporating the wireless module 150 and the video recording apparatus 200, You can request configuration parameters. At this time, the setting management unit 220 may request the change of the different parameters to reset if the setting parameters with the medical monitor 100 do not match.

The setting management unit 220 may be configured to store the settings stored in the storage unit 240 according to a setting command transmitted from the medical monitors 100 and 102 when the user requests the setting change according to the setting change of the medical monitors 100 and 102 You can update by changing the video settings. At this time, the setting management unit 220 may transmit an acknowledgment (ACK) indicating that the update is completed to the medical monitors 100 and 102.

As described above, even when the medical monitors 100 and 102 and the video recording apparatus 200 use different protocols, the image quality characteristics of both of them can be set and stored by the same setting in any one of the apparatuses. Accordingly, even when the stored images are reproduced on the medical monitors 100 and 102, the images can be reviewed in the same manner as when the images are stored.

The input unit 230 can input various settings of the video recording apparatus 200 through the user. The input unit 230 may be a touch screen interface.

The storage unit 240 stores the settings of the recorded images of the inspection apparatus 300 and the settings of the medical monitor 100. For example, the storage unit 240 may store brightness, saturation, contrast, color temperature, gamma, sharpness, and the like of the recorded image of the inspection apparatus 300 or the medical monitor 100.

According to the above-described configuration, in the embodiment of the present invention, since the external device and the medical monitor are interlocked and integrated setting is performed by only one setting, the convenience of the user is improved and the real-time operation image is set to the same color and image improvement parameter And is recorded on a medical monitor and recorded on an external device such as a video recording device. When necessary, the recorded video image can be accurately reviewed under the same conditions as those at the time of surgery.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention can improve efficiency of a system by protocol conversion between an external device such as an image recording apparatus and a medical monitor, and can eliminate a cumbersome connection operation between a monitor and an external device, Can be shortened, and erroneous operation due to erroneous operation can be excluded.

Hereinafter, an integrated image setting method between the medical monitor of the present invention and an external device of a heterogeneous protocol will be described with reference to FIG. 3 to FIG.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a method of setting an integrated image between a medical monitor and an external device of a heterogeneous protocol according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a method of matching the setting parameters of FIG. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing another example of the setting parameter update method according to the setting change of FIG. 3; FIG.

The integrated image setting method 400 between the medical monitor of the present invention and an external device of the heterogeneous protocol includes steps S401 and S402 of confirming the setting of the medical monitors 100 and 102 by the video recording apparatus 200, And a step (S402) of changing one setting parameter in accordance with a setting change of any one of the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102.

3, when the communication between the medical monitor 100 and the video recording apparatus 200 is established, the video recording apparatus 200 sets the settings of the medical monitors 100 and 102 And the setting parameters can be matched (step S401). That is, before the medical monitor 100 and the video recording apparatus 200 are prepared to be interlocked with each other, the respective setting parameters can be matched with each other.

Next, when the setting of any one of the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102 is changed by the user, the changed setting may be transmitted to another one and updated (step S402). As described above, the other setting is interlocked and changed according to the setting change of any one of the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102, thereby changing the setting between the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102 Integrated image setup can be performed.

The matching of the setting parameters and the integrated image setting will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4 to FIG.

As shown in Fig. 4, the method 500 for matching the setting parameters can first establish communication between the medical monitors 100 and 102 and the video recording apparatus 200 (step S501). At this time, in the case of the medical monitor 100 in which the wireless module 150 is embedded, a wireless link between the medical monitor 100 and the video recording apparatus 200 can be established. Alternatively, in the case of the medical monitor 102 in which the wireless module 150 is not incorporated, the external device adapter 150 is connected between the medical monitor 102 and the video recording apparatus 200, Can be constructed.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can request the setting confirmation of the medical monitors 100 and 102 (step S502). At this time, when the wireless link is established, the video recording apparatus 200 transmits "COMBINED_STATUS" and "COMBINED_STATUS2" commands of the "wireless board packet" to the medical monitor 100 ). Alternatively, when serial communication is established, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit "OP_STATUS 1" of the "Combination packet" through the external device adapter 150. Here, the COMBINED_STATUS command is used to set the power state, input source, color temperature, red, green, blue setting, brightness, contrast, gamma, line out volume, line out mute, speaker volume, speaker mute, And the WiFi scan. In addition, the COMBINED_STATUS2 command requests settings for PIP On / Off, PIP position, PIP size, PIP source, image clarity, and tally light control. The OP_STATUS1 command sets the settings for power state, input source, color temperature, red, green, blue setting, brightness, contrast, gamma, PIP On / Off, PIP position, PIP size, PIP source, image sharpness, request.

In this way, the protocol conversion is performed during the communication between the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102. At this time, the setting command of the video recording apparatus 200 is transmitted to the medical monitors 100 and 102 Can be converted to correspond. Such a protocol conversion may convert the SIDNE protocol of the video recording apparatus 200 into the VEHD protocol of the medical monitor 100 and transmit the same to the medical monitor 100 through the serial communication (RS232C).

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can confirm whether the request received from the video recording apparatus 200 is a setting confirmation request (step S503). That is, the medical monitors 100 and 102 check whether the packet received from the video recording apparatus 200 is one of "COMBINED_STATUS", "COMBINED_STATUS2" and "OP_STATUS1" Lt; / RTI >

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit the setting information corresponding to the command to the video recording apparatus 200 (step S504). At this time, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit the parameter values of the items "COMBINED_STATUS", "COMBINED_STATUS2", and "OP_STATUS1" requested from the video recording apparatus 200 to the video recording apparatus 200.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can compare the setting parameters received from the medical monitors 100 and 102 with the preset setting parameters stored therein (step S505).

In order to match the settings between the video recording apparatus 200 and the medical monitors 100 and 102 when the setting parameters received from the medical monitors 100 and 102 differ from the previously stored setting parameters as a result of the comparison, (Step S506). At this time, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit an operation packet to the medical monitors 100 and 102. [

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can change the corresponding setting information according to a reset request of the video recording apparatus 200 (step S507).

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit an acknowledgment (ACK) indicating that the update of the setting information is completed to the video recording apparatus 200 (step S508).

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 confirms that the setting parameters with the medical monitors 100 and 102 are matched with each other in accordance with the acknowledgment (ACK) of the medical monitors 100 and 102, and ends the setting confirmation (step S508 ).

5, when the setting of the video recording apparatus 200 is changed, the setting parameter updating method 600 can be started by first changing the video setting of the video recording apparatus 200 (step S601) . Here, the video setting change of the video recording apparatus 200 may be, for example, a setting change for the video input from the testing apparatus 300. [ At this time, the user can adjust values such as brightness, contrast, sharpness, and the like using the +/- buttons, for example, and the changed setting can be stored in the video recording apparatus 200. Here, the settings to be changed include color temperature, red, green, blue, zoom, pan, gamma, PIP On / Off, PIP position, PIP size, PIP source, tally light control, Volume, line out mute, speaker mute, speaker equalizer gain, speaker input, and the like.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit a setting command to the medical monitors 100 and 102 (step S602). At this time, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit the setting command to the medical monitors 100 and 102 through the operation packet.

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can update the current setting parameters in accordance with the setting command of the video recording apparatus 200 (step S603). That is, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can update the parameters included in the setting command received from the video recording apparatus 200 and the setting parameter values stored in the parameter values.

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit an update acknowledgment (ACK) to the video recording apparatus 200 indicating that updating of the corresponding setting parameter according to the description command is completed (step S604). That is, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit an acknowledgment (ACK) so that the same setting command is not transmitted from the video recording apparatus 200 even after the setting is changed.

By the above procedure, the same settings can be changed in the medical monitors 100 and 102 for the changed settings in the video recording apparatus 200. [ Thereafter, the video recording apparatus 200 can perform a change process for another setting (step S605).

6, when the settings of the medical monitors 100 and 102 are changed, the setting parameter update method 700 can be started by first changing the settings of the monitors of the medical monitors 100 and 102 ( Step S701).

Here, the setting change of the medical monitors 100 and 102 may be, for example, a setting change for the image displayed on the medical monitors 100 and 102. [ This setting change can be changed similarly to that in the video recording apparatus 200. [ At this time, the changed setting can be stored in the medical monitors 100 and 102. [

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit a setting command to the video recording apparatus 200 (step S702). At this time, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can transmit the setting command to the video recording apparatus 200 through the operation packet.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can update the current setting parameters in accordance with the setting command of the medical monitors 100 and 102 (step S703). That is, the video recording apparatus 200 can update the parameters included in the setting command received from the medical monitors 100 and 102 and the setting parameter values stored in the parameter values.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit an update acknowledgment (ACK) to the medical monitors 100 and 102 indicating that updating of the corresponding setting parameters according to the description command is completed (step S704).

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can wait for a predetermined time until an acknowledgment (ACK) is received from the video recording apparatus 200 (step S705). In other words, the medical monitors 100 and 102 do not change the other settings until an acknowledgment (ACK) is received from the video recording apparatus 200. [

By the above procedure, the same setting can be changed in the video recording apparatus 200 with respect to the changed setting in the medical monitors 100 and 102. [ Thereafter, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can perform a change process for other settings (step S706).

According to this method, since the external device and the medical monitor are interlocked and integrated setting is performed by only one setting, the convenience of the user is improved and the real-time operation image is set to the same color and image improvement parameters And is recorded on a medical monitor and recorded on an external device such as a video recording device. When necessary, the recorded video image can be accurately reviewed under the same conditions as those at the time of surgery.

In addition, an embodiment of the present invention can improve efficiency of a system by protocol conversion between an external device such as an image recording apparatus and a medical monitor, and can eliminate a cumbersome connection operation between a monitor and an external device, Can be shortened, and erroneous operation due to erroneous operation can be excluded.

Hereinafter, a video recording method between the medical monitors 100 and 102 and the video recording apparatus 200 will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart illustrating an image recording method using a medical image system according to an integrated image setup between a medical monitor and an external device of a heterogeneous protocol according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The video recording method 800 first inputs a live image input from the testing apparatus 300 to the medical monitors 100 and 102 and the video recording apparatus 200 and displays the live images on the medical monitors 100 and 102 . At this time, the video recording apparatus 200 may select video recording or capture as a still image (step S801).

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can store a live image input from the testing apparatus 300 in an internal memory (step S802). That is, the same live image can be stored in the image recording apparatus 200 while the live images from the inspection apparatus 300 are displayed on the medical monitors 100 and 102.

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit a recording LED ON command to the medical monitors 100 and 102 (step S803). At this time, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit a "TALLY LIGHT CONTROL" operation of "Wireless board packet" or "Combination packet".

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can turn on the telly light according to the "RED ON" command (step S804). That is, for example, it is possible to turn on the telly light on the top of the medical monitors 100 and 102 to notify the medical staff of the recording status of the video recording apparatus 200. [

In this way, while the video recording apparatus 200 records a live image input from the inspection apparatus 300, the recording stop can be selected (step S805).

Next, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit the recording LED OFF command to the medical monitors 100 and 102 (step S806). At this time, the video recording apparatus 200 can transmit the "TALLY LIGHT CONTROL" operation.

Next, the medical monitors 100 and 102 can turn off the telly light according to the "RED OFF" command (step S807). That is, the telemetry on the top of the medical monitors 100 and 102 can be turned off to notify the medical staff of the recording stop state of the video recording apparatus 200.

However, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in order to notify or warn the medical staff of a specific situation occurring in the video recording apparatus 200, the ON / OFF can be controlled.
