Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, zooming in at a predetermined percentage (for example, it can be above about 30%) and zooming in on the object of interest while displaying other objects on a multi-screen display at a lower magnification can cause a loss of visual orientation , visual fatigue, and often an uncomfortable experience for the operator
[0007] Furthermore, including one or more lens assemblies, each of which includes a movable motor-driven lens, requires a large amount of space, which is an extremely constrained resource at the tip section of a multi-camera endoscope

Abstract

A multi-focus, multi-camera endoscope having a tip section comprising a first optical assembly for generating a first image of a body cavity; a second optical assembly for generating a first image of the body cavity Two images; at least one illuminator associated with each of the first optical assembly and the second optical assembly; and a processing system configured to: zoom the first optical assembly and thereby generate a zoomed first optical assembly an image to replace the first image; and automatically causing the physical display to eliminate display of the second image and display only the zoomed first image. To eliminate display of the second image, the processing system reduces the power supply to the second optical assembly, reduces the illumination intensity of an illuminator associated with the second optical assembly, or causes the physical display to be powered off, dimmed, or blackened.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application is dependent upon U.S. Patent Provisional Application No. 62 / 027,005, filed July 21, 2014, entitled "Multi-Focal, Multi-Camera Endoscope Systems," and filed July 28, 2014, entitled "Multi- -Focal, Multi-Camera Endoscope Systems", US Patent Provisional Application No. 62 / 029,764, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety. technical field [0003] The present description relates generally to multi-camera endoscopic systems, and in particular to endoscopic systems comprising at least one Multi-Focal optical assembly and / or at least one type of light conditioning component. Background technique [0004] Some endoscopes, including high-resolution endoscopes, are equipped with a lens assembly that includes a lens at the end of the endoscope driven by a movable motor. By controlling the focal length, the endoscope can be moved very close to objects of interest, eg, lesions, mucosa,...
