Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic endoscope control, and in particular to an endoscope double-button control system, a control method, a device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, the development of medical electronic endoscopes has been getting faster and faster. Most of the endoscopes on the market use endoscope handles to connect the insertion end lens. Conventional electronic endoscope handles can only adjust the direction mechanically, or can only perform a single camera operation. However, whether it is an electronic hose endoscope or an electronic hard tube endoscope, it is impossible to hold the endoscope handle with one hand to perform all the conventional operations of the endoscope camera. At the same time, since other auxiliary instruments are also required during the inspection, endoscopic inspection usually requires two people to work closely together to complete, which makes endoscopic inspection prone to operational errors due to the complexity of the operation and the need for tacit cooperation.

[0003] Chinese patent publication number CN115120352A discloses an endoscopic surgical device, including: an endoscope control unit for holding and manipulating the knobs and buttons of the endoscope; a surgical instrument control unit for fixing and actuating the surgical instrument using the working channel of the endoscope; a frame for carrying the endoscope control unit and the surgical instrument control unit; and a drive unit for driving the endoscope control unit and the surgical instrument control unit respectively. The endoscopic surgical device of the present invention can realize the operation of the endoscope and the surgical instruments passing through the working channel of the endoscope under the robot control system. This process is like allowing surgeons to perform open surgery with both hands. It will also lower the entry threshold for surgical operations such as ESD that have higher requirements for technology and professional knowledge, allowing more doctors to perform surgical operations through surgical robots. For patients, this will also minimize their recovery, pain and hospitalization time. The endoscopic surgical device of this patent requires multiple people to operate at the same time, which makes the operation difficult and is prone to errors due to lack of tacit cooperation.

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will be described clearly and completely in combination with the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0028] A preferred embodiment of the present invention is an endoscope double-button control system; specifically, as Figure 1 As shown, the endoscope dual-button control system includes: an endoscope control system 100 , a light source control system 200 , an image acquisition system 300 and a data processing system 400 .

[0029] An endoscope control system 100 for performing endoscope control to acquire image data;

[0030] Furthermore, the image acquisition system is extended into the lesion site and operated by a single button. The specific image acquisition system may be an endoscopic camera, etc. The endoscopic camera is controlled by a single button to perform different actions to acquire image data.

[0031] The light source control system 200 is used to control the endoscope auxiliary hardware light source and provide the light source brightness.

[0032] Furthermore, since different brightness needs to be provided for different environments when the endoscope enters the lesion site to obtain images, the light source of the endoscope can be controlled by a light source control system. The light source brightness control is also achieved with a single button. To meet the usage requirements of different scenarios, the light source brightness can be divided into four gears: 0%, 33%, 66%, and 100%, among which the light source does not emit light at 0%.

[0033] Furthermore, the specific single-button method for controlling the brightness of the light source is that the default brightness of the light source is 100% after power-on, and the button is pressed to cycle through the brightness of the light source, that is, press the light source button once, the light source brightness switches to 0%, continue to press the light source button, the light source brightness switches to 33%, continue to press the light source button, the light source brightness switches to 66%, and in this way, the cyclic switching of the light source brightness is achieved.

[0034] The image acquisition system 300 is used to acquire image data of the lesion site.

[0035] Furthermore, the camera can be operated by a single button to perform operations such as taking pictures, recording and freezing. Since the above operations can be completed with a single button, the operation is simpler. In the photo operation, the photo operation can be completed by pressing the single button once, and the taken photos are saved in the host connected to the endoscope. In the video recording operation, the single button can be long pressed for 3 seconds to start the video recording operation, and the video recording stops after continuing to long press for 3 seconds. The video recording file is saved in the host connected to the endoscope; in the freezing operation, the single button can be quickly pressed 3 times to freeze the image, and the single button can be quickly pressed 3 times to stop the image freezing, and the endoscope camera returns to the normal screen display.

[0036] The data processing system 400 is used to process the acquired camera image data.

[0037] Furthermore, the data processing system processes the image data collected by the endoscope camera by first decoding the original camera-collected image data through the codec unit, and converting the format of the decoded data so that the image format can be correctly read by the host connected thereto.

[0038] Furthermore, the codec unit can be used to encode and decode the data of various camera modules. The codec unit has built-in detection functions for various camera modules. The basic logic implemented is that the codec unit first analyzes the image data obtained by the camera, and then selects different codec strategies according to the characteristics of commonly used endoscope specifications and models, thereby realizing the function of the codec control unit to accurately control cameras of different specifications. It can detect the decoding of data of most camera modules on the market, including 1 million pixels, 2 million pixels, 5 million pixels, and 8 million pixels camera modules, making the endoscope dual-button control system compatible with almost all endoscope lenses on the market.

[0039] Furthermore, the data processing system also includes an image enhancement unit, which enhances the image of the original camera data. Due to the influence of lighting or the system itself, the original data usually has more noise points. Therefore, the data processing system uses a common data denoising algorithm smoothing filter to perform simple noise reduction to make the image clearer.

[0040] Corresponding to the endoscope double-button control system, the present invention also provides an endoscope double-button control method, such as Figure 2 , which is a flow chart of an endoscope double-button control method provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method can be executed by a device, and the device can be implemented by software and / or hardware.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the endoscope double-button control method includes:

[0042] S500: controlling the image acquisition system to operate through a group of control buttons;

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an image acquisition system is extended into the lesion site and operated by a single button. The specific image acquisition system may be an endoscopic camera, etc. The endoscopic camera is controlled by a single button to perform different actions to acquire image data.

[0044] S501: Adjust the brightness of the light source through another set of control buttons;

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, since different brightness needs to be provided for different environments when the endoscope enters the lesion site to acquire images, the light source of the endoscope can be controlled by a light source control system. The light source brightness control is also achieved with a single button. To meet the usage requirements of different scenes, the light source brightness can be divided into four gears: 0%, 33%, 66%, and 100%, among which the light source does not emit light at 0%.

[0046] Furthermore, the specific single-button method for controlling the brightness of the light source is that the default brightness of the light source is 100% after power-on, and the button is pressed to cycle through the brightness of the light source, that is, press the light source button once, the light source brightness switches to 0%, continue to press the light source button, the light source brightness switches to 33%, continue to press the light source button, the light source brightness switches to 66%, and in this way, the cyclic switching of the light source brightness is achieved.

[0047] S502: operating the image acquisition system by controlling buttons to acquire image data of the lesion site;

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the camera is operated by a single button to perform operations such as taking pictures, recording videos, and freezing. Since the above operations can be completed by a single button, the operation is simpler.

[0049] Furthermore, in the photo operation, the photo operation can be completed by pressing the single button once, and the photo taken is saved in the host connected to the endoscope. In the video recording operation, the single button can be pressed for 3 seconds to start the video recording operation, and the video recording stops after continuing to press for 3 seconds. The video recording file is saved in the host connected to the endoscope; in the freeze operation, the single button can be quickly pressed 3 times to freeze the image, and the single button can be quickly pressed 3 times again to stop freezing the image, and the endoscope camera returns to normal screen display.

[0050] S503: converting the format of the acquired image data of the lesion site after decoding and decryption;

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data processing system processes the image data collected by the endoscope camera. First, the original camera-collected image data is decoded by the codec unit, and the decoded data is formatted so that the image format can be correctly read by the host connected thereto.

[0052] Furthermore, the codec unit can be used to encode and decode the data of various camera modules. The codec unit has built-in detection functions for various camera modules. The basic logic implemented is that the codec unit first analyzes the image data obtained by the camera, and then selects different codec strategies according to the characteristics of commonly used endoscope specifications and models, thereby realizing the function of the codec control unit to accurately control cameras of different specifications. It can detect the decoding of data of most camera modules on the market, including 1 million pixels, 2 million pixels, 5 million pixels, and 8 million pixels camera modules, making the endoscope dual-button control system compatible with almost all endoscope lenses on the market.

[0053] S504: performing noise reduction processing on the converted image to make the image clearer;

[0054] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the data processing system also includes an image enhancement unit, which enhances the image of the original camera data. Due to the influence of lighting or the system itself, the original data usually has more noise points. Therefore, the data processing system uses a common data denoising algorithm smoothing filter to perform simple noise reduction to make the image clearer.
