Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of ultrasonic equipment, and in particular to an automatic prompt freezing method, ultrasonic equipment and a computer readable storage medium. BACKGROUND

[0002] When the ultrasonic equipment is used, mapping is performed through the ultrasonic probe. If the ultrasonic probe works for a long time without freezing or is in the unfreezing state even if it is not working, the probe will heat up because it is always in a high-power consumption state. If the ultrasonic probe is connected to a palm ultrasonic device, the long time of the ultrasonic probe in the high-power consumption state will undoubtedly shorten the use time of the palm ultrasonic device and affect the normal use of the palm ultrasonic device due to the limited power storage capacity of the palm ultrasonic device. SUMMARY

[0007] if the working time length proportion is greater than or equal to a preset proportion threshold, issuing a prompt information, wherein the prompt information is used to prompt the user whether to enter a low-power consumption mode.

[0012] The difference between the time point when the ultrasound probe is frozen each time and the time point when the ultrasound probe is unfrozen last time before the time point is calculated to obtain the scanning duration when the ultrasound probe is in the unfrozen state each time.

[0013] Further, the working duration ratio of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the scanning duration when the ultrasound probe is in the unfrozen state, including:

[0014] The plurality of scanning durations of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval are counted.

[0015] The total scanning duration of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval is obtained by accumulating the plurality of scanning durations.

[0016] The working duration ratio of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the total scanning duration.

[0017] Further, the working duration ratio of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the total scanning duration, including:

[0018] It is judged whether the threshold time interval satisfies a calculation condition, wherein the calculation condition includes that the threshold time length of the threshold time interval is less than or equal to the time difference between the current time point and the connection start time point, and the connection start time point represents the time point when the ultrasound probe starts to establish a connection with the ultrasound device.

[0019] If the threshold time interval satisfies the calculation condition, the ratio of the total scanning duration to the threshold time length of the threshold time interval is calculated to obtain the working duration ratio of the ultrasound probe in the threshold time interval.

[0020] Further, the value range of the preset proportion threshold and the value range of the working duration ratio are both greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1.

[0021] Further, the prompt information includes a freeze probe option and a continue working option.

[0022] Further, when the user selects the freeze probe option, a freeze and suspend message is sent to the ultrasound probe.

[0024] As another aspect of the present application, a computer readable storage medium is provided, wherein the computer readable storage medium stores computer instructions for causing the computer to perform the automatic prompt freezing method described above.

[0025] The automatic prompt freezing method provided by the present application can accurately determine whether the working time of the ultrasonic probe exceeds the preset threshold by calculating the working time proportion of the ultrasonic probe, and can prompt the user when the proportion threshold is exceeded, so that the user can stop scanning and the probe enters a low-power mode for cooling.

[0032] In order for those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor should be within the scope of protection of the present application.

It should be understood that the data thus used can be interchanged under appropriate circumstances, so that the embodiments of the application described herein can be implemented. In addition, the terms "include" and "have" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, for example, a process, method, system, product or device containing a series of steps or units does not have to be limited to those steps or units clearly listed, but can include other steps or units not clearly listed or inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0034] An automatic prompt freezing method is provided in the embodiment, Figure 1 The flow chart of the automatic prompt freezing method provided according to the embodiment of the present application is shown in Figure 1 , which comprises:

[0035] S110, acquiring the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfreezing state each time during the connection of the ultrasonic probe and the ultrasonic equipment;

[0036] As shown in Figure 2 , in the embodiment of the present application, the connection of the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe is taken as an example for illustration.

[0037] It should be noted that the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe establish a connection, and here the starting time point or starting moment of the connection of the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe can be recorded as T1. Similarly, when the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe are disconnected or the palm ultrasonic device needs to be turned off after work, the ending time point or ending moment of the connection of the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe is recorded as T2. Then the total connection time R of the ultrasonic probe and the palm ultrasonic device is [T1, T2]. That is, R is the total time of the connection of the ultrasonic probe and the ultrasonic equipment, and the following unfreezing or freezing is performed within the total time R.

[0038] After the connection of the probe and the palm ultrasonic device, the probe state is initially in the freezing state, at which time the automatic prompt freezing function is turned on. The user can unfreeze the ultrasonic probe in the freezing state by sending an unfreezing instruction, and then the process of cyclic freezing and unfreezing follows. It should be noted that the unfreezing and freezing time needs to be recorded in each cycle.

[0039] As can be seen from Figure 2 , there can be multiple intervals within the total time R, and the unfreezing time and freezing time of the ultrasonic probe need to be recorded in each interval.

[0040] Specifically, the acquisition of the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfreezing state each time during the connection of the ultrasonic probe and the ultrasonic equipment comprises:

[0041] record the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen each time and the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen each time during the connection of the ultrasonic probe and the ultrasonic equipment;

[0042] obtain the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfrozen state each time according to the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen each time and the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen each time.

[0043] Further specifically, the obtaining of the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfrozen state each time according to the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen each time and the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen each time comprises:

[0044] calculating the difference between the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen each time and the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen last time before the freezing to obtain the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfrozen state each time.

[0045] In some embodiments, the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen each time can be recorded as Tun, the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen each time can be recorded as Tfn, where n is an integer greater than or equal to 0, and the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfrozen state each time is Tfn-Tun. That is, Tfn-Tun represents the difference between the time point when the ultrasonic probe is frozen and the time point when the ultrasonic probe is unfrozen last time before the freezing.

[0046] For example, Tu0 represents the first unfreezing time point, Tf0 represents the first freezing time point, and Tf0-Tu0 represents the difference between the first freezing time point and the first unfreezing time point, that is, the scanning time length in the unfrozen state in the first cycle. Similarly, Tu1 represents the second unfreezing time point, Tf1 represents the second freezing time point, and Tf1-Tu1 represents the difference between the first freezing time point and the first unfreezing time point. Similarly, the unfreezing time length in multiple cycles, that is, the scanning time length in multiple cycles, is obtained.

[0047] It should be noted that, herein, Tf0, Tf1, …, Tfn∈R; Tu0, Tu1, …, Tun∈R; Tfn> Tf1 >Tf0, Tun > Tu1 > Tu0.

[0048] S120, obtaining the working time length proportion of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval according to the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the unfrozen state each time;

[0049] It should be understood that, after obtaining the scanning time length of each unfreezing to freezing, when it is necessary to calculate the total scanning time length proportion in the threshold time interval, only the multiple scanning time lengths in the threshold time interval need to be intercepted and added to obtain the total scanning time length proportion in the threshold time interval.

[0050] Specifically, the proportion of the working time length of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe each time in the thawing state, comprising:

[0051] The plurality of scanning time lengths of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval are counted.

[0052] The plurality of scanning time lengths are accumulated to obtain the total scanning time length of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval.

[0053] For example, Rtf = {Tf0 - Tu0, Tf1 - Tu1, …, Tfn - Tun} represents the plurality of scanning time lengths in the threshold time interval, and the total scanning time length Tu = ∑Rtf, that is, Tu = (Tf0 - Tu0) + (Tf1 - Tu1) +, …, + (Tfn - Tun).

[0054] The proportion of the working time length of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the total scanning time length.

[0055] Further specifically, the proportion of the working time length of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval is calculated according to the total scanning time length, comprising:

[0056] It is judged whether the threshold time interval satisfies a calculation condition, wherein the calculation condition comprises that a threshold time length of the threshold time interval is less than or equal to a time difference between a current time point and a connection start time point, and the connection start time point represents a time point at which the ultrasonic probe starts to establish a connection with the ultrasonic device.

[0057] It should be understood here that the threshold time interval needs to satisfy the calculation condition to realize the calculation of the working time length proportion.

[0058] In the embodiment of the application, a threshold time length Tdt is defined, the threshold time interval is represented as [T0, Tn], Tdt = Tn - T0. The current time point is t (t ∈ R, T2 > t > T1), and the connection start time point of the ultrasonic probe and the ultrasonic device is T1 as described above. The calculation condition is Tdt ≤ (t - T1).

[0059] For example, the initial time point T1 of the connection of the palm ultrasonic device and the ultrasonic probe is 9:00, the connection end time point T2 is 11:00, the total time R is [9:00, 11:00], the current time point t is 10:45, and the threshold time length Tdt is 30 minutes. The threshold time interval [T0, Tn] selected is [10:15, 10:45], and Tdt is 30 minutes, which is less than t - T1, that is, 105 minutes.

[0060] Of course, if the current time point t is 9:30, the threshold time length Tdt is 30 minutes, the selected threshold time interval [T0, Tn] is [9:00, 9:30], and Tdt at this time is 30 minutes, which is equal to 30 minutes of t-T1.

[0061] In the above two cases, the calculation condition is met, and the working time length ratio can be calculated.

[0062] If the current time point t is 9:20, since t-T1

[0063] That is, in order to realize the calculation of the working time length ratio of the ultrasonic probe, the selected threshold time interval needs to meet a certain length, and of course the threshold time interval can be set according to the needs, which is not limited here.

[0064] If the threshold time interval meets the calculation condition, the ratio of the total scanning time length to the threshold time length of the threshold time interval is calculated to obtain the working time length ratio of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval.

[0065] When the threshold time interval meets the calculation condition, the working time length ratio of the ultrasonic probe in the threshold time interval p=Tu / Tdt. Figure 3 As shown in the schematic diagram of p.

[0066] It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are illustrated by calculating the ratio of the total scanning time length to the threshold time length of the threshold time interval, and of course the ratio of the total scanning time length and the freezing time length of the ultrasonic probe can also be calculated, which can also be used as a kind of judgment method, only the preset proportion threshold is different.

[0067] For example, the total freezing time length can be calculated in the same way as the total scanning time length, that is, the difference between each unfreezing time point and each freezing time point, and the freezing time length of each cycle is obtained, and the freezing time length of multiple cycles is obtained in turn, thereby obtaining the total freezing time length.

[0068] By setting another preset proportion threshold, the ratio of the total scanning time length to the total freezing time length is judged to determine whether the ultrasonic probe enters the low-power mode. Details are not repeated here.

[0069] In order to determine that the ultrasonic probe can enter the low-power mode, it is necessary to judge whether the working time length ratio is greater than or equal to the preset proportion threshold;

[0070] In the embodiment of the present application, the preset proportion threshold Td should satisfy Td∈[0, 1], and the calculated working time proportion p also needs to satisfy p∈[0, 1]. Here, it is necessary to determine whether the working time proportion is greater than or equal to the preset proportion threshold, that is, whether p≥Td is true.

[0071] When p≥Td is true, it means that the working time of the ultrasonic probe is too long, and at this time, it is necessary to prompt the user whether to freeze the probe to enter a low-power consumption state.

[0072] When p<Td, no prompt information is sent, and the current state is maintained.

[0073] S130, if the working time proportion is greater than or equal to the preset proportion threshold, a prompt information is sent, wherein the prompt information is used to prompt the user whether to enter a low-power consumption mode.

[0074] Specifically, the prompt information includes a freeze probe option and a continue working option.

[0075] It should be understood that the user makes a feedback selection on the options of the prompt information according to needs.

[0076] When the user selects the freeze probe option, a freeze and suspend message is sent to the ultrasonic probe. At this time, the user closes the scanning mode of the ultrasonic probe, and the ultrasonic probe enters standby, the machine temperature drops, and the ultrasonic probe is frozen to enter a low-power consumption mode.

[0077] When the user selects the continue working option, the currently calculated working time proportion is cleared, and the working time proportion is recalculated, that is, the foregoing steps are repeated. Such a cycle is repeated.

[0078] The automatic freeze prompting method provided by the embodiment of the present application can accurately determine whether the working time of the ultrasonic probe exceeds the preset threshold by calculating the working time proportion of the ultrasonic probe, and can prompt the user when the proportion threshold is exceeded, so that the user can stop scanning, and the probe enters a low-power consumption mode for cooling. This automatic freeze prompting method can effectively avoid the problem that the user forgets to cool the ultrasonic probe for a long time, thereby effectively improving the service life of the ultrasonic probe. In addition, when the ultrasonic probe is connected to a portable ultrasonic device, such as a palm ultrasonic device, the automatic freeze prompting method can save the power consumption of the portable ultrasonic device, thereby prolonging the use time of the portable ultrasonic device.
