Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrasonic devices, and in particular, to a method, device, electronic device and medium for enabling functions of an ultrasonic device. Background Art

[0002] An ultrasonic device mainly includes two major parts: an ultrasonic probe and a device host connected to the ultrasonic probe. The ultrasonic probe can transmit and receive ultrasonic waves, perform electro-acoustic signal conversion, convert the electrical signal sent by the device host into an ultrasonic signal with high-frequency oscillation, and can also convert the ultrasonic signal reflected from tissue organs into an electrical signal and display it on the display of the device host.

[0003] Manufacturers of ultrasonic devices will design ultrasonic devices with various different function combinations based on different needs of users. Generally, users purchase an ultrasonic device according to their current needs (such as the basic functions of the ultrasonic device). When they need to expand new functions during later use, they can store the license information related to the new functions in a portable storage device, such as a USB flash drive, and enable the new functions by copying them from the USB flash drive to the device host. However, some ultrasonic devices (such as handheld ultrasonic devices) do not have an interface adapted to the USB flash drive. If the functions are forcibly enabled through the USB flash drive, interface conversion and other operations are required, and the steps are relatively cumbersome, affecting the user experience. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a method, device, electronic device and medium for enabling functions of an ultrasonic device to solve the problem of cumbersome operations when enabling new functions through a USB flash drive.

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for enabling functions of an ultrasonic device, which is applied to a first electronic device. The first electronic device is a device connected to the ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic device. The method includes: displaying a license page, where the license page displays the identity information of the ultrasonic probe, at least one first function option and at least one second function option. The first function option is an option corresponding to the function that has been enabled for the ultrasonic probe, and the second function option is an option corresponding to the function that has not been enabled for the ultrasonic probe; forming an enabling request message based on a first selection operation on the license page, where the enabling request message includes a third function and the identity information, and the third function is the function to be enabled for the ultrasonic probe selected from the functions corresponding to the at least one second function option; sending the enabling request message to a second electronic device; receiving an enabling permission message from the second electronic device; and enabling the third function based on the enabling permission message.

[0006] The method for enabling functions of an ultrasound device provided in this embodiment is as follows: after a first electronic device connected to an ultrasound probe displays a license page, based on a first selection operation on the license page, activation request information is formed and sent to a second electronic device with software function activation permission. After receiving the activation request information, the second electronic device forms activation permission information based on the activation request information and returns the activation permission information to the first electronic device. After receiving the activation permission information, the first electronic device can enable a third function of the ultrasound probe by reading the activation permission information. The method for enabling functions of the ultrasound device provided by the present invention reduces the cumbersome operations brought by using a USB flash drive to enable new functions. At the same time, the permission to enable the third function is obtained in an offline manner, which can take into account the hospital's requirements for the security of its own data information.

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] Ultrasound (US) medicine is a discipline that combines acoustics, medicine, optics, and electronics. Any application of acoustic technology with a frequency higher than the audible range in the medical field is considered ultrasound medicine. Ultrasound medicine includes ultrasound diagnostics, ultrasound therapeutics, and biomedical ultrasound engineering. Therefore, ultrasound medicine has the characteristics of integrating medicine, physics, and engineering, covering a wide range of content and having high value in disease prevention, diagnosis, and treatment.

[0037] Due to advantages such as non-invasiveness, low cost, and strong real-time performance, ultrasound equipment has gradually become a major means of medical imaging examinations. When users purchase ultrasound equipment, they will select product functions according to their current needs. Thus, when the subsequent needs of users change and new product functions need to be enabled on the ultrasound equipment, such as functions like automatic blood flow measurement, automatic B-line measurement, and voice recognition, how to conveniently enable new product functions on the ultrasound equipment becomes a technical problem to be solved.

[0038] Currently, new product functions can be enabled by connecting to the network. However, hospitals generally have certain requirements for the security of their own data information, and enabling new product functions through the network has relatively high security risks. It is also possible to store the license information related to the new function in a USB flash drive and enable the new function by copying it to the device host through the USB flash drive. However, some ultrasound equipment (such as the handheld ultrasound device Butterfly) does not have an interface compatible with the USB flash drive. If the function is forcibly enabled through the USB flash drive, operations such as interface conversion are required, and the steps are relatively cumbersome, affecting the enabling efficiency. In addition, enabling through the USB flash drive also has security issues and is not applicable in scenarios with high requirements for information transmission security such as hospitals.

[0039] In view of this, the present invention provides a method for enabling functions of an ultrasound device, which can enable new product functions without copying to the host through a USB flash drive, simplifying the operation of users. At the same time, it takes into account the hospital's requirements for the security of its own data information and reduces the occurrence of network security incidents.

[0040] According to an embodiment of the present invention, an embodiment of a method for enabling functions of an ultrasound device is provided. It should be noted that although the logical order is shown in the flowchart, in some cases, the steps shown or described may be executed in a different order than here.

[0041] In this embodiment, a method for enabling functions of an ultrasound device is provided, which can be used for a first electronic device connected to an ultrasound probe and a second electronic device with software function enabling permissions. Figure 1 It is a schematic flowchart of a method for enabling functions of an ultrasound device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0042] Step S101, the first electronic device displays a license page.

[0043] Among them, the identity information of the ultrasonic probe, at least one first function option, and at least one second function option are displayed on the license page. The first function option is the option corresponding to the function that the ultrasonic probe has already enabled, and the second function option is the option corresponding to the function that the ultrasonic probe has not enabled.

[0044] Exemplarily, the first electronic device can be a terminal device with a display screen such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer. The first electronic device can be connected to the ultrasonic probe in a wired manner (for example, a data cable) or in a wireless manner (for example, Wireless Fidelity (WIFI) or Bluetooth, etc.). This application does not make any limitations.

[0045] This application does not limit the identity information of the ultrasonic probe, as long as it can distinguish the ultrasonic probe. Exemplarily, the identity information of the ultrasonic probe includes at least one of a Service Set Identifier (SSID), a Serial Number (SN), and a Unique Device Identifier (UDI) of a medical device. Among them, the service set identifier contains the product serial number. For example, the service set identifier is 14 digits, and 10 consecutive digits out of the 14 digits are used to represent the product serial number.

[0046] Specifically, the product serial number, also known as the machine code, authentication code, or registration application code, refers to using a unique code to define a product, which is the identity card number of the product. Among them, the code can be automatically generated according to a predefined coding rule or created manually. The product serial number is a concept introduced to verify the "legal identity of the product" and is used to protect the legitimate rights and interests of users and enjoy legal services. A set of genuine products corresponds to only one set of product serial numbers. The unique medical device identifier refers to a code composed of numbers, letters, or symbols attached to a medical device product or its packaging using a standard for uniquely identifying medical devices, which can effectively improve the scientific management efficiency of medical devices. The unique medical device identifier consists of two parts: a device identifier (DI) and a production identifier (PI). The device identifier is the unique code for identifying the registrant / filer, the medical device model specification, and the packaging. The production identifier consists of codes related to the medical device production process information and may include the medical device serial number, production batch number, production date, expiration date, etc. according to regulatory and practical application requirements.

[0047] Exemplarily, the license page can be as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, Figure 2The function options 1 to 3 shown are the options corresponding to the functions already enabled for the ultrasonic probe (i.e., the first function options), and the function options 4 to 8 are the options corresponding to the functions not enabled for the ultrasonic probe (i.e., the second function options). The first function options and the second function options can be distinguished by color. For example, the first function options are set to blue, and the second function options are set to red. Figure 3 In Figure 3 , NanoC5 EXP is the name of the ultrasonic probe. The option evocal corresponds to the above-mentioned voice recognition function, and the option auto B-line corresponds to the above-mentioned automatic B-line measurement function. Of course, it is not limited to this. Among them, the automatic B-line measurement function can be used for lung examinations, such as Figure 3 shown, the license page can float above the interface presenting the ultrasonic image.

[0048] Step S102, the first electronic device forms an activation request message based on the first selection operation for the license page.

[0049] Among them, the activation request message includes a third function and identity information. The third function is the function to be enabled for the ultrasonic probe selected from the functions corresponding to at least one of the second function options.

[0050] Exemplarily, the first selection operation can be a click operation, a swipe operation, or a drag operation of the user on the license page through a human-computer interaction device (such as a touch screen or a mouse and keyboard, etc.). Specifically, the first electronic device determines the third function based on the user's first selection operation on the license page. For example, as Figure 2 shown, after the user clicks on function options 4, 6, and 8 of the license page, the first electronic device can determine the functions corresponding to function options 4, 6, and 8 as the third function. After determining the third function, an activation request message is formed based on the third function and the identity information. Exemplarily, the activation request message can be represented in the form of a QR code, a barcode, text, or numbers.

[0051] Step S103, the first electronic device sends the activation request message to the second electronic device. Correspondingly, the second electronic device receives the activation request message from the first electronic device.

[0052] Exemplarily, the second electronic device can be a terminal device such as a smart phone, a tablet computer, or a laptop computer. The second electronic device has the permission to enable software functions, and the second electronic device can be controlled by the customer service of the ultrasonic device manufacturer.

[0053] Step S104, the second electronic device forms an activation permission message based on the activation request message.

[0054] Specifically, after the second electronic device receives the activation request information, it can determine the identity information of the ultrasonic probe and the function to be activated for the ultrasonic probe. Then, based on the selection operation of the customer service, the second electronic device releases the usage permission of the third function of the ultrasonic probe and generates activation permission information. Exemplarily, the activation permission information includes the license information of the third function, and the activation permission information can be represented in the form of a QR code, a barcode, text, or numbers.

[0055] Step S105, the second electronic device sends the activation permission information to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device receives the activation permission information from the second electronic device.

[0056] Step S106, the first electronic device activates the third function based on the activation permission information.

[0057] Specifically, after the first electronic device receives the activation permission information, it reads the activation permission information to activate the third function of the ultrasonic probe.

[0058] For the method for activating the function of the ultrasonic device provided in this embodiment, after the first electronic device connected to the ultrasonic probe displays the license page, based on the first selection operation on the license page, an activation request information is formed and sent to the second electronic device with the software function activation permission. After the second electronic device receives the activation request information, it forms activation permission information based on the activation request information and returns the activation permission information to the first electronic device. After the first electronic device receives the activation permission information, reading the activation permission information can activate the third function of the ultrasonic probe. The method for activating the function of the ultrasonic device provided by the present invention reduces the cumbersome operations brought by using a USB flash drive to activate new functions. At the same time, using the offline method to activate the permission of the third function can take into account the hospital's requirements for the security of its own data information.

[0059] In this embodiment, a method for activating the function of an ultrasonic device is provided, which can be used for the above-mentioned first electronic device and second electronic device. Figure 4 It is a schematic flowchart of another method for activating the function of an ultrasonic device according to an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 4 shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0060] Step S401, the first electronic device displays a license page in response to a trigger operation on a second preset control.

[0061] Wherein, the second preset control is a preset control configured on the display interface of the first electronic device for starting the software activation function.

[0062] Specifically, the second preset control may be an icon of an application (APP) configured on the first electronic device. The APP may be an APP adapted to the ultrasonic probe of the ultrasonic device connected to the electronic device. After the user touches the icon on the display interface through the human-computer interaction device, the first electronic device displays a license page.

[0063] Step S402: The first electronic device forms activation request information based on a first selection operation on the license page.

[0064] Exemplarily, the activation request information may be represented in the form of a second target two-dimensional code.

[0065] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown, after the first electronic device forms activation request information represented in the form of a second target two-dimensional code, the activation request information may be displayed on the license page.

[0066] It should be understood that a two-dimensional code is a graph composed of certain specific geometric figures distributed in a plane (two-dimensional direction) according to a certain rule, black and white, and recording data symbol information. In code compilation, it cleverly uses the concept of the "0" and "1" bit streams that form the internal logic basis of a computer. It uses several geometric shapes corresponding to binary to represent alphanumeric information, and realizes automatic information processing through an image input device or an optoelectronic scanning device. That is to say, a two-dimensional code is a graph composed of small squares, where the black small squares represent "1" and the white small squares represent "0". Substantially, a two-dimensional code is a binary bit stream of stored 0s and 1s.

[0067] Step S403: The first electronic device sends the activation request information to the second electronic device. Correspondingly, the second electronic device receives the activation request information from the first electronic device.

[0068] For details, please refer to Figure 1 step S103 of the illustrated embodiment, which will not be elaborated here.

[0069] Step S404: The second electronic device forms activation permission information based on the activation request information.

[0070] Specifically, step S404 includes step S4041 and step S4042:

[0071] Step S4041: The second electronic device reads the identity information and the third function of the ultrasonic probe by scanning the second target two-dimensional code.

[0072] Step S4042: The second electronic device activates the usage permission of the third function of the ultrasonic probe to form activation permission information.

[0073] In this embodiment, the activation request information is represented in the form of a second target two-dimensional code, enabling the second electronic device to read the identity information and the third function of the ultrasonic probe by scanning the second target two-dimensional code, thereby activating the usage permission of the third function of the ultrasonic probe. This can more quickly and conveniently obtain the identity information and the third function of the ultrasonic probe, improving the activation efficiency.

[0074] Step S405: The second electronic device sends activation permission information to the first electronic device. Correspondingly, the first electronic device receives the activation permission information from the second electronic device.

[0075] Exemplarily, the activation permission information can be represented in the form of a first target two-dimensional code.

[0076] Step S406: The first electronic device activates the third function based on the activation permission information.

[0077] Exemplarily, the above step S406 includes step a1 or step a2:

[0078] Step a1: In response to a triggering operation on a first preset control, scan the first target two-dimensional code to activate the third function.

[0079] Among them, the first preset control is configured on the license page and is a preset control for scanning two-dimensional codes.

[0080] Exemplarily, the first preset control can be, for example, Figure 3 the scan activation button as shown.

[0081] Step a2: Import the first target two-dimensional code to activate the third function.

[0082] Exemplarily, after the first electronic device receives the activation permission information represented in the form of the first target two-dimensional code, it can be activated by import, thereby activating the third function of the ultrasonic probe.

[0083] In some other alternative embodiments, after the first electronic device receives the activation permission information, it can also be activated by input through a human-computer interaction device, thereby activating the third function of the ultrasonic probe.

[0084] For the method of enabling functions of an ultrasonic device provided in this embodiment, after a first electronic device displays a license page in response to a triggering operation on a second preset control, based on a first selection operation on the license page, a request information for enabling is formed and represented by a second target two-dimensional code, and the second target two-dimensional code is sent to a second electronic device. After receiving the second target two-dimensional code, the second electronic device scans the second target two-dimensional code to obtain the identity information of a third function and an ultrasonic probe, forms an enabling permission information represented by a first target two-dimensional code, and returns the first target two-dimensional code to the first electronic device. After receiving the first target two-dimensional code, the first electronic device can enable the third function of the ultrasonic probe by reading the first target two-dimensional code. For the method of enabling functions of an ultrasonic device provided by the present invention, the request information for enabling and the enabling permission information are represented in the form of two-dimensional codes, which can enable an electronic device to obtain corresponding information more conveniently and quickly.

[0085] The following uses a specific example to specifically illustrate the method for enabling functions of the ultrasonic device provided by the present invention.

[0086] Exemplarily, when a user needs to expand the function of automatically measuring blood flow for an ultrasonic device, by touching a second preset control configured on the display interface of a first electronic device through a human-computer interaction device, the first electronic device displays a license page. Then, the user selects an option corresponding to the function of automatically measuring blood flow on the license page through the human-computer interaction device. The first electronic device forms a request for enabling permission represented in the form of a second target two-dimensional code based on the user's selection operation, and sends the second target two-dimensional code to a second electronic device. After the customer service of the second electronic device receives the second target two-dimensional code, it scans and identifies the identity information of the ultrasonic probe through an internal customer service system, and reads the function to be enabled (here it is the function of automatically measuring blood flow). Then, the customer service enables the function of automatically measuring blood flow for the ultrasonic probe through the human-computer interaction device. The second electronic device forms an enabling permission information represented in the form of a first target two-dimensional code based on the selection operation of the customer service, and sends the first target two-dimensional code to the first electronic device. After receiving the first target two-dimensional code, the first electronic device scans the first target two-dimensional code in response to a triggering operation on a first preset control by the user, so as to enable the function of automatically measuring blood flow for the ultrasonic probe.

[0087] In some optional implementation manners, as Figure 6 shown, after the first electronic device displays the license page, a prompt window pops up. Among them, the prompt window is used to prompt the user about the process of enabling the software function of the ultrasonic device. Further, the first electronic device closes the prompt window in response to a triggering operation on a third preset control. Specifically, the third preset control is a preset control configured in the prompt window for closing the prompt window. It should be noted that Figure 6 the SN in

[0088] In this embodiment, a function enabling device for an ultrasonic device is further provided. This device is used to implement the above-mentioned embodiments and preferred implementation manners, and those that have been described will not be repeated.
