Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of medical endoscopes, and more particularly to a medical wireless endoscope camera system and device. Background Technology

[0002] A medical endoscope is a medical device used for diagnosis and treatment. It can be inserted into the body through natural passages or minimally invasive openings to observe internal organs or tissues. A medical endoscope imaging system typically consists of an endoscope, a camera, an image processing unit, a monitor, and other accessories. In practice, the endoscope acquires optical signals to capture images inside the body, the camera converts these optical signals into digital signals, the image processing unit processes the digital signals, and the monitor displays the processed images.

[0003] Currently, mainstream medical endoscopic imaging systems require a cable connection between the camera and the main unit. Doctors must avoid pulling on the cable while operating the endoscope to prevent affecting image quality or causing patient discomfort. Because the camera and main unit are connected by a cable, doctors must handle the cable carefully during operation, which not only limits the flexibility and range of movement of the endoscope inside the body, but also restricts the movement of the endoscopic imaging system, hindering rapid transfer between different operating rooms or examination rooms. Furthermore, the cable may become tangled during surgery or be damaged due to improper handling, potentially leading to image transmission interruptions or equipment malfunction.

[0046] To achieve efficient use of medical endoscope camera systems, this paper will detail a design for wireless transmission between the camera and the host based on a medical high-definition camera system.

[0047] The main solution of the medical wireless endoscope camera system disclosed in this application employs two SOC chips: a host SOC chip and a camera SOC chip. The camera SOC chip is responsible for camera data acquisition, ISP processing, video encoding, and Wi-Fi transmission. The host SOC chip is responsible for Wi-Fi reception, video decoding, video storage, and transmission to a display. Compared to traditional endoscope camera systems, the solution presented in this application is characterized by portability, flexibility, and ease of operation. Medical personnel are not limited by cable length and wiring during endoscope use, and doctors can more freely adjust the position and angle of the endoscope for better observation and operation, which helps improve the accuracy and efficiency of medical personnel's examinations, diagnoses, and treatments.

[0048] Based on this, this application provides a medical wireless endoscope camera system, designed to overcome the limitations of cable length and wiring in wired medical endoscopes. By using a wireless endoscope camera system, better portability and flexibility are achieved. Furthermore, doctors can more easily carry and operate the endoscope, making it particularly suitable for situations requiring examinations or surgeries in different locations. Without the constraint of cables, doctors can more freely adjust the position and angle of the endoscope during use, allowing for better observation and operation.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the system functions of the first embodiment of the medical wireless endoscope camera system proposed in this application.

[0050] In this embodiment, the medical wireless endoscope camera system includes a camera module 1 and a host module 2; the camera module 1 includes an image sensor module 12, a camera SOC module 11, and a WIFI transmitting module 10; the host module 2 includes a WIFI receiving module 20 and a host SOC module 21; wherein:

[0051] The image sensor module 12 is connected to the camera SOC module 11 and is used to perform photoelectric conversion on the acquired image, obtain image data signals and transmit them to the camera SOC module 11.

[0052] The camera SOC module 11 is connected to the WIFI transmission module 10. The camera SOC module 11 is used to encode the image data signal and transmit it to the WIFI transmission module 10.

[0053] The WIFI transmitting module 10 is connected to the WIFI receiving module 20, and the WIFI transmitting module 10 is used to wirelessly transmit the encoded image data signal to the WIFI receiving module 20.

[0054] The WIFI receiving module 20 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the WIFI receiving module 20 is used to transmit the encoded image data signal to the host SOC module 21;

[0055] The host SOC module 21 is used to decode the encoded image data signal and transmit it to the external display 3 for display.

[0056] In this embodiment, the system employs two key SOCs (System on Chip) to realize its functions. Specifically, camera module 1 and host module 2 each use a separate SOC chip: a host SOC chip and a camera SOC chip. This dual-chip design makes the system more efficient and stable, while significantly improving image clarity and transmission speed, especially when applied to ultra-high-definition medical endoscopes.

[0057] Camera module 1 is the front-end of the entire system. It is responsible for capturing raw images of the patient's body and converting them into image data signals (digital signals). Camera module 1 mainly consists of an image sensor module 12, a Wi-Fi transmission module 10, and a camera SOC module 11. The image sensor module 12 is primarily used for photoelectric conversion of the image, utilizing an IMX585 image sensor chip and a MIPI interface. The image sensor converts light signals carrying information such as the brightness and color of the subject into electrical signals through a photosensitive unit array. The IMX585 image sensor chip supports high-resolution image output, ensuring the clarity of the endoscopic images. The IMX585 chip contains millions of photosensitive units that can sense the brightness and color information of the subject. When light shines through the lens onto the photosensitive unit array, each photosensitive unit generates a corresponding electrical signal based on the received light intensity. The analog-to-digital converter then converts the electrical signals into digital signals, and finally, the digital image signal is transmitted to the camera SOC module 11 via the MIPI interface.

[0058] The camera SOC module 11 is the brain of the camera module 1, primarily responsible for image signal acquisition, processing, and encoding. When the camera module 1 receives image data signals, the camera SOC module 11 immediately begins working, performing a series of image processing steps, including noise reduction and contrast enhancement, to improve image quality. The camera SOC module 11 is mainly used for image signal acquisition, image processing, image encoding, and image transmission. The camera SOC module 11 sends the acquired data to the Image Signal Processor (ISP) for image processing, and then to the encoding module for encoding. The image encoding format is H.264 / 265. Finally, the encoded image data is transmitted to the host via the WIFI transmission module 10. The ISP includes automatic exposure, bad pixel correction, noise filtering, black level correction, image interpolation, shadow correction, white balance, color correction, saturation correction, gamma correction, sharpening correction, contrast correction, and color space conversion. After processing, the camera SOC module 11 compresses the image to a suitable size and outputs it to the WIFI transmission module 10. The WIFI transmission module 10 is responsible for transmitting the image data signal processed by the camera SOC module 11 to the host module 2 wirelessly via WIFI.

[0059] Host module 2 is the backend of the entire system. It receives image data signals from camera module 1, performs image decoding, and transmits the data. Host module 2 mainly consists of a WIFI receiving module 20 and a host SOC module 21. The WIFI receiving module 20 receives the encoded image data signals from the WIFI transmitting module 10 and transmits them to the host SOC module 21. The host SOC module 21 is the core of the host module, primarily responsible for decoding the received image data. The decoding process converts H.264 / 265 format image data into image data that the display can play, corresponding to the image encoding. After decoding, the host SOC module 21 transmits the image data signals to the display 3 for real-time observation and diagnosis by medical personnel.

[0060] Specifically, it should be noted that the Wi-Fi transmitting module 10 and the Wi-Fi receiving module 20 adopt the Wi-Fi 6 standard protocol. Wi-Fi 6, also known as 802.11ax or High-Efficiency WLAN (HEW), is a new generation wireless network standard officially launched by the Wi-Fi Alliance in 2019. Compared to the previous Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard, Wi-Fi 6 has significantly improved in terms of speed, capacity, efficiency, and security. Specifically, Wi-Fi 6 employs advanced technologies such as Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multiple-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO), and Target Wake-Up Time (TWT), achieving higher data transmission rates, lower latency, larger network capacity, and better energy efficiency. The Wi-Fi 6 standard protocol supports higher data transmission rates, enabling the Wi-Fi transmitting module 10 to transmit image data, such as ultra-high-definition images, to the host module 2 at a faster speed. This is crucial for medical endoscopic imaging systems, as images, such as ultra-high-definition images, typically involve large amounts of data, requiring efficient and stable transmission channels to ensure real-time image quality and clarity. In medical applications, low latency is also a key factor in ensuring the smooth progress of surgery or examinations. The Wi-Fi 6 standard protocol, by introducing mechanisms such as Target Wake Time (TWT), effectively reduces network latency, enabling the Wi-Fi transmitting module 10 to respond more quickly to requests from the host module 2, achieving real-time image transmission.

[0061] To ensure stable reception of signals from the WIFI transmitting module 10 in complex medical environments, the WIFI receiving module 20 employs a high-sensitivity receiving circuit design, capable of capturing and effectively decoding weak wireless signals. This guarantees the integrity and accuracy of image data. Simultaneously, WIFI6 utilizes the WPA3 encryption protocol, effectively protecting data security during transmission by the medical endoscope camera system and preventing patient privacy leaks. The WIFI6 standard protocol adopted by both the WIFI transmitting module 10 and the WIFI receiving module 20 provides the medical endoscope camera system with a high-speed, low-latency, stable, and secure wireless transmission experience.

[0062] Based on the first embodiment of this application, in the second embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in Embodiment 1 above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 2 ,

[0063] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of camera module 1 in a second embodiment of the medical wireless endoscope camera system proposed in this application. In this embodiment, camera module 1 further includes: a first EMMC module 13 and a first DDR module 14; wherein:

[0064] The first EMMC module 13 is connected to the camera SOC module 11. The first EMMC module 13 is used to store programs and perform system booting on the camera module 1.

[0065] The first DDR module 14 is connected to the camera SOC module 11, and the first DDR module 14 is used to temporarily store the image data signal of the camera module 1.

[0066] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first EMMC module 13 is mainly used for program storage and system booting, including an SDIO interface and a KLM8G1WEPD storage chip. The SDIO (Secure Digital Input / Output) interface is an SD card-based interface standard used for data transmission between the camera SOC module 11 and the first EMMC module 13. The KLM8G1WEPD is an embedded multimedia card (eMMC) that provides a high-speed, reliable storage solution. The camera SOC module 11 is connected to the EMMC module via the SDIO interface, and program storage and system booting are achieved by reading and writing to the EMMC module. System booting refers to the process of loading the operating system kernel into storage and starting the system.

[0067] The first DDR module 14 is mainly used for temporary image storage, including a DDR interface and a K4A4G085WD memory chip. The camera SOC module 11 is connected to the first DDR module 14 via the DDR interface. The DDR (Double Data Rate) interface is a high-speed data transmission interface used for data exchange between the camera SOC module 11 and the DDR module 14. The K4A4G085WD is a DDR4 memory chip, characterized by high speed and large capacity. During image processing, the first DDR module 14 acts as a temporary storage medium, caching image data and improving processing efficiency. The high-speed caching capability of the first DDR module 14 ensures fast read and write of image data. At the same time, the ample storage space meets the needs of medical high-definition image processing.

[0068] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the camera module further includes an LED module 15; the LED module 15 is connected to the camera SOC module 11, and the LED module 15 is used to provide camera illumination to the endoscope observation area through LED lights.

[0069] LED module 15 is mainly used to provide lighting, such as Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3This is a schematic diagram of the camera structure of the second embodiment of the medical wireless endoscope camera system proposed in this application. The LED module 15 includes an LED driver chip and LED beads. The camera SOC module 11 is connected to the LED driver chip via an IIC interface. The LED driver chip is responsible for receiving control signals from the camera SOC chip and adjusting the current of the LED beads accordingly. The camera SOC chip automatically adjusts the light output of the LEDs based on the brightness of the image collected by the sensor, so that the image remains at a certain brightness. The camera SOC can automatically adjust the light output of the LEDs according to the ambient brightness, ensuring that the image is always at a suitable brightness. At the same time, LED lighting is efficient and energy-saving, which helps to extend the working time of the camera. It should be noted that the prior art uses an external cold light source host to achieve illumination. Therefore, an optical cable needs to be connected between the camera and the external cold light source host to transmit the illumination light. As a result, the camera is also restricted by the optical cable, resulting in operational problems such as affecting movement and tangling. The LED module 15 in this embodiment can effectively solve this problem and fully realize wireless operation.

[0070] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the camera module 1 can also be connected to an external mobile terminal device 4 via the WIFI transmission module 10.

[0071] As is readily understood, in this embodiment, the camera SOC module 11 is connected to the AP6275P WIFI chip via a PCIe interface, and the camera wirelessly transmits images to the host via the WIFI transmission module 10. Simultaneously, external mobile terminal devices 4, such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, can connect to the camera via WIFI and use a dedicated APP to receive, decode, and display the medical images captured by the camera in real time.

[0072] Based on the first and / or second embodiments of this application, in the third embodiment of this application, the content that is the same as or similar to that in embodiments one and two above can be referred to the above description, and will not be repeated hereafter. Based on this, please refer to... Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the host module 2 of a third embodiment of the medical wireless endoscope camera system proposed in this application. In this embodiment, the host module 2 further includes: an SD module 22, a second EMMC module 23, and a second DDR module 24;

[0073] The SD module 22 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the SD module 22 is used to program-store the image data signal of the host module 2.

[0074] The second EMMC module 23 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the second EMMC module 23 is used to perform system guidance on the image data signal of the host module 2;

[0075] The second DDR module 24 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the second DDR module 24 is used to temporarily store the image data signal of the host module 2.

[0076] Specifically, in this embodiment, the SD module 22 is mainly used for program storage. The SD module 22 includes an SDIO interface and an SD memory card. The host SOC module 21 is connected to the SD module through the SDIO interface, and realizes program storage and system booting by reading and writing to the SD card. Connected to the host SOC module 21 through the SDIO interface, the SD card can also store the operating system, applications, and configuration files, while also supporting fast system startup and flexible configuration; it supports high-speed data transmission, ensuring fast reading and writing of program and system files. The SDIO interface is a high-speed serial communication protocol that supports the transmission of data, commands, and control, enabling the SD card to interact efficiently with the host SOC module 21.

[0077] The second eMMC module 23 is primarily used for system booting of the host module, including the SDIO interface and the KLM8G1WEPD memory chip. The host SOC module 21 connects to the second eMMC module 23 via the SDIO interface, and boots the system by reading and writing to the second eMMC module 23. The second eMMC module 23 is another important program storage device, offering higher read / write speeds and lower power consumption compared to the SD module 22. The KLM8G1WEPD is a high-performance eMMC memory chip that integrates NAND Flash memory and a controller, providing a large-capacity, high-speed data storage solution. The second eMMC module 23 is also used to store critical data such as the operating system image, application code, and configuration files. During system startup, the host SOC module 21 reads the bootloader from the second eMMC module 23 and loads the operating system kernel. Due to the higher read / write speeds and lower power consumption of the eMMC module 23, it can provide faster system boot speeds and more stable system performance than the SD module 22.

[0078] The second DDR module 24 is primarily used for temporary image storage. It includes a DDR interface and a K4A4G085WD memory chip. The host SOC module 21 is connected to the second DDR module 24 via the DDR interface. The second DDR module 24 is a crucial component of the host module 2, mainly responsible for the temporary storage and transmission of image data, program instructions, and intermediate results during computation. Due to its high-speed read / write capabilities and high data bandwidth, the second DDR module 24 acts as a bridge between the processor (host SOC module 21) and the long-term storage device (the solid-state drive in the SATA module). In the image processing system, DDR performance directly affects the real-time performance and smoothness of image processing. The second DDR module 24 also features intelligent power management, automatically adjusting its operating frequency and voltage according to the system load to balance performance and power consumption.

[0079] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the host module 2 further includes: a SATA module 25 and / or a USB module 26; wherein:

[0080] The SATA module 25 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the SATA module 25 is used to perform video storage and image storage on the image data signal of the host module 2.

[0081] The USB module 26 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the USB module 26 is used to store video and image data signals of the host module 2.

[0082] Understandably, in this embodiment, the SATA module 25 is primarily used for storing video recordings and image screenshots. It includes a SATA interface and a solid-state drive (SSD), and connects to the SSD via the SATA interface. The SATA module 25 is a key component of the host module for data storage such as video recordings and image screenshots. Connecting to the SSD via the SATA interface provides a high-speed, reliable data storage solution. The SATA interface not only supports high-speed data transmission but also boasts excellent compatibility and scalability, allowing the system to easily upgrade or expand its storage capacity. Furthermore, the SATA interface supports hot-swapping, allowing users to plug and unplug hard drives without shutting down the system, improving system flexibility and maintainability.

[0083] USB module 26 is primarily used for storing video recordings and image screenshots. It includes an ASM1042 interface chip and a USB interface. In the medical wireless endoscopic camera system, USB module 26 not only serves as a bridge for data transmission of video recordings and image screenshots but also facilitates communication with other external devices (such as storage devices, printers, keyboards, etc.). Through USB module 26, the system can flexibly connect to various USB devices, expanding its functionality and application scenarios.

[0084] It should be noted that since the SATA module 25 and USB module 26 have similar main uses, the product can choose to set one of them, and of course, both can be set in high-configuration products.

[0085] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the host module 2 further includes an HDMI module 28 and / or a DP module 29; wherein:

[0086] The host SOC module 21 is connected to the external display 3 through the HDMI module 28, and the HDMI module 28 is used to transmit the image data signal of the host module 2 using the HDMI 2.0 standard video transmission.

[0087] The host SOC module 21 is connected to the external display 3 through the DP module 29, and the DP module 29 is used to transmit the image data signal of the host module 2 using the DP1.4a standard video transmission.

[0088] Specifically, in this embodiment, the two key video transmission modules in the host module 2, HDMI module 28 and DP module 29, and how they connect and transmit data with the display 3 are described below:

[0089] HDMI module 28 connects to the HDMI interface of monitor 3 via an HDMI interface (usually a physical port). The host SOC module 21 in host module 2 connects to HDMI module 28 via an internal bus or dedicated interface. This connection can be a direct HDMI cable connection or via accessories such as HDMI adapters / extension cables. When host SOC module 21 needs to transmit image data to monitor 3, it first converts this data into a format that HDMI module 28 can understand. HDMI module 28 encodes the image data according to the HDMI 2.0 standard, which includes splitting the image data into multiple channels (such as red, green, blue, and possibly sync signals) and adding necessary control signals and metadata. The encoded image data is transmitted to monitor 3 via the HDMI interface in the form of high-speed differential signals. After receiving these signals, monitor 3's HDMI interface decodes them to restore the original image data. Based on the decoded image data, monitor 3 controls its internal display panel or projection system to present the image to the user.

[0090] DP module 29 connects to the DisplayPort interface of monitor 3 via a DisplayPort interface (also a physical port). This connection can be a direct DisplayPort cable connection or via an adapter or other accessories. Similar to HDMI module 28, host SOC module 21 connects to DP module 29 via an internal bus or dedicated interface. Host SOC module 21 converts image data into a format that DP module 29 can understand. DP module 29 encodes the image data according to the DP1.4a standard, including the use of high-speed differential signal transmission technology, and advanced features such as possible data compression and encryption. The encoded image data is transmitted to monitor 3 via the DisplayPort interface in the form of a high-speed differential signal. After receiving these signals, monitor 3's DisplayPort interface decodes them to restore the original image data. Similar to HDMI transmission, monitor 3 controls its display system based on the decoded image data to present the image to the user. Both HDMI module 28 and DP module 29 are key components in host module 2 used for video transmission with monitor 3. They follow the HDMI 2.0 and DP 1.4a standards respectively to encode and transmit image data.

[0091] It should be noted that since the main purpose of the HDMI module 28 and DP module 29 is to transmit video to the display screen, the product can choose to set one of them. Of course, in high-configuration products, both can be set at the same time.

[0092] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the host module 2 further includes an LCD module 27; the LCD module 27 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the LCD module 27 is used to operate the host module 2 through a human-computer interaction interface of the ultra-high-definition wireless endoscope camera system.

[0093] Specifically, in this embodiment, the LCD module 27 is mainly used as the human-computer interaction interface of the medical wireless endoscopic camera system. The host SOC module 21 communicates with the LCD module via UART serial port. The LCD module 27 is a key component for display and interaction in the medical wireless endoscopic camera system. It achieves information transmission and display through UART serial port communication with the host SOC module 21. This communication method not only ensures the stability of data transmission but also improves the system's response speed. Simultaneously, the LCD module 27 is mainly responsible for displaying various system status information and operation prompts, providing users with an intuitive and convenient interactive platform. Through the LCD module 27, users can perform operations such as white balance adjustment, screenshotting, recording, and parameter settings as needed.

[0094] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the medical wireless endoscope camera system further includes a first power module 16 and a second power module 17; wherein:

[0095] The first power module 16 is connected to the camera SOC module 11, and the first power module 16 is used to provide power to the camera module 1.

[0096] The second power module 17 is connected to the host SOC module 21, and the second power module 17 is used to provide power to the host module 2.

[0097] Specifically, in this embodiment, in the medical wireless endoscopic camera system, the power supply is primarily responsible for providing a stable and reliable power supply to the various components of the system. These components include camera module 1, main unit module 2, and other auxiliary equipment. The power supply design must not only meet the system's power consumption requirements but also ensure stable performance during long-term use, while taking into account the special safety and reliability requirements of medical equipment. As the core of energy supply, the power supply plays a crucial role.

[0098] The first power module 16 is directly connected to the camera SOC module 11. Through this direct connection, the first power module 16 provides a stable and continuous power supply to the camera module 1, ensuring the camera can operate normally and capture high-resolution images. The first power module 16 employs a high-efficiency design, providing sufficient power at low power consumption to meet the power consumption requirements of the camera module 1. To ensure stable operation of the camera module, the first power module 16 provides stable voltage and current output, avoiding image distortion or equipment malfunction caused by power fluctuations. Safety is paramount in medical devices. The first power module 16 is designed with electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility in mind, ensuring reliable device operation and patient safety.

[0099] The second power module 17 is connected to the main unit SOC module 21. The main unit module 2 is the control center of the medical wireless endoscope camera system, responsible for processing the image information captured by the camera module 1 and transmitting it to an external display device or storage device for further analysis or recording. By connecting to the second power module 17, the main unit module 2 can obtain a stable and continuous power supply, ensuring the normal operation of the system.

[0100] Considering the portability and ease of operation of the endoscope, the first power module 16 and the second power module 17 were designed to minimize size and weight, thereby reducing the workload for doctors. Since the power supply generates heat during operation, heat dissipation performance needs to be considered to ensure the system maintains a stable temperature during prolonged use. To prevent damage to the equipment from overcurrent, overvoltage, or other abnormal conditions, the power supply needs to be equipped with appropriate protection mechanisms, such as overcurrent protection and overvoltage protection.

[0101] Furthermore, to achieve the above objectives, this application also proposes a medical wireless endoscope device, which includes a display, a mobile terminal device, and all embodiments of the medical wireless endoscope camera system described above.
