Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a medically instrument structured in construction.

[0002] More specifically, the present disclosure relates to a medical simulation device characterized by a characteristic rectangular prism shape structure and a modular spatial arrangement of interconnected units.

[0003] This invention emphasizes arranging the physical shapes, outer forms, and relative positional relationships of various operating components such as displays, inputs, connection ports, communication modules, support bases, etc. on the device body and its periphery.

[0004] This utility model relates to the design, orientation, and configuration of these structural units for efficient medical simulation, improved user accessibility, and functional integration with external medical systems and AI systems.

Background Art

[0005] In the current state of medical simulation technology, various medical simulation systems have been developed to assist in training, diagnosis, and patient data processing. However, there are significant drawbacks in the optimization of the external structure design and shape of such devices. Many of the conventional systems prioritize internal computing functions or software-based functions while overlooking the importance of the external space configuration, geometric shape, and component arrangement within the device body. As a result, such devices often exhibit non-uniform shapes, non-ergonomic configurations, and inadequate placement of functional units, which overall affect usability, integration, and operation efficiency in the actual clinical environment.

[0006] One of the main challenges in existing simulation devices is the lack of a consistent and stable shape. This is especially true when multiple components need to interact in a seamless and easily accessible manner. Many devices are designed with irregular or asymmetric shapes, making them unstable when placed on a flat surface and difficult to transport. Additionally, without a clearly defined housing shape such as a rectangular prism, internal and external space is wasted, port positions are not modularized, and scalability is often limited.

[0007] Furthermore, structural clutter is common in existing systems. Display units, input panels, data interfaces, and communication modules are often placed without considering spatial symmetry, user accessibility, or logical layout. For example, user input devices may be placed on the same surface as cable ports, causing operational interference when multiple functions are used simultaneously. Similarly, connection interfaces for peripheral devices and data ports are often concentrated on one surface without considering spatial separation, leading to cable tangles, increased socket wear, and user confusion.

[0008] That is, users cannot clearly identify which side of the device corresponds to which function (e.g., display, input, server connection, medical device interface, or communication). This ambiguity increases the learning curve, reduces the intuitiveness of use, and limits adoption in fast-paced clinical setups where time and clarity are important.

[0009] Furthermore, most prior simulation devices do not incorporate dedicated support units that are symmetrically aligned or materially optimized for durability, insulation, or height. Since the devices are generally supported by a flat base or integrated legs with inconsistent shapes and sizes, the balance and lifespan of the devices are compromised. Without dedicated support legs or feet (preferably made of durable polymers for insulation), the devices may absorb impacts from the surface or accumulate dust, affecting their long-term performance.

[0010] There are also structural deficiencies in terms of optimizing wireless communication. Many systems either do not have external antennas or embed antennas internally without dedicated placement. This structural integration limits the communication range and effectiveness with external AI servers or mobile health platforms.

[0011] Furthermore, interfaces for external data input and medical device connections are often grouped or located in hard-to-reach places (such as the back or bottom of the device), making the device difficult to use and increasing the likelihood of errors during connection. Moreover, the input ports, output interfaces, and wireless channels cannot be clearly distinguished, further reducing operability.

[0012] Therefore, the existing background technology shows a clear lack of structurally optimized, shape-defined devices that prioritize the logical spatial distribution, ergonomic design, and modular physical configuration of the units. Although the internal functions of such devices may be advancing, their physical form factors and shapes remain undeveloped, often compromising user efficiency, comfort, modularity, and system integration.

[0013] In view of such limitations, there is an obvious and urgent need for a medical simulation device that addresses the above-mentioned drawbacks.

[0014] A rectangular prism shape is adopted to enable geometric uniformity, modular scalability, and structural clarity.

[0015] To avoid congestion, the functional units (display, input, communication, power supply, ports) are arranged on distinct faces of the device.

[0016] Support legs symmetrically arranged on the bottom corners are adopted to achieve structural balance and surface insulation.

[0017] The communication unit and antenna are strategically arranged to maximize wireless efficiency.

[0018] Also, multiple data input ports are linearly and conveniently arranged on the expansion panel, clearly separated from the power supply and output ports.

[0019] Such a design will greatly improve usability in clinical and training environments, integration with AI systems, ease of maintenance, and user satisfaction. This utility model solves all these structural drawbacks with its meticulously designed outer shape and spatial layout.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0020] Conventional medical simulation devices used for training and diagnostic support are often designed with an emphasis on internal functions such as software-based simulation and AI-based data processing. However, these devices often neglect important aspects of structural and spatial design, which have a significant impact on usability and integration in actual clinical settings. The recurring problem is that the outer shape is not clearly defined. Many existing devices feature irregular or asymmetric bodies that compromise stability on flat surfaces and make it difficult to modularly arrange internal units. This lack of shape clarity fosters operational inefficiencies and limits the physical scalability of the system.

[0021] Another problem lies in the disorderly layout of functional units such as display panels, user input interfaces, connection ports, communication modules, etc. These components are often arranged without ergonomic logic, resulting in overlapping functional areas and interference when used simultaneously. For example, the user input unit may be placed near the power supply or server ports, causing cable clutter and hindering smooth operation. Similarly, communication modules and data input ports may be placed in inaccessible locations, making normal use cumbersome and prone to errors.

[0022] Furthermore, in conventional systems, modular port configurations and dedicated space zones for connecting to external medical devices or AI servers are not provided. Due to the concentration of these ports, not only is physical accessibility restricted, but the risk of mechanical damage to cables and sockets during repeated use also increases. Additionally, many existing simulation devices do not have properly designed base supports or lifting mechanisms. The device is often placed directly on the surface, making it unstable, exposed to dust, increasing vibrations, and potentially affecting long-term performance.

[0023] Another issue is that external antennas and communication units are either inappropriately placed or not placed at all. In some devices, the antenna is integrated internally or placed without considering directivity, resulting in limited wireless connections and signal interference. Finally, due to the lack of spatial separation between the various functional aspects of the device, it is difficult for the user to understand the system's orientation or operate efficiently under time-constrained scenarios.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0024] The present invention addresses the above - mentioned problems by providing a medical simulation device having a specially designed outer shape and a spatial arrangement of components designed to improve operating efficiency, stability, and user accessibility. The device is configured in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, providing a clearly defined shape and enabling an organized spatial arrangement of all functional units. This uniform structural shape improves surface contact, enables stable positioning, and allows for an aesthetically consistent component arrangement.

[0025] Each functional unit of the device is strategically and dispersedly arranged on various surfaces to prevent duplication and optimize usability. · The display unit is attached to the front part of the upper surface to ensure a clear visual output to the user, while a circular touch - type input interface is arranged at the rear part of the upper surface on the opposite diagonal side, enabling intuitive interaction. The front part is specialized for connection functions, with four cylindrical ports arranged linearly, allowing external tools to be plugged in modularly. Adjacent to these ports are an independent server port and a power port, physically isolated from each other, thus preventing cable interference and enabling safe operation.

[0026] To enhance balance and heat insulation, there are four base support units symmetrically arranged at the bottom corners of the instrument. These supports are made of a polymer material selected considering durability, shock absorption, and resistance to surface contact contamination. On the right - hand side wall of the device, a communication module composed of a transmission unit and a reception unit is installed horizontally side - by - side. This arrangement improves signal directivity and cable routing. The external antenna is attached cylindrically to the rear wall and protrudes outward to ensure effective wireless communication with remote servers and devices.

[0027] On the left side wall of this device, an extended data input interface consisting of a wireless data port and four linearly arranged medical data reception ports is provided. With this configuration, there is no congestion or confusion, and multi-source data collection can be easily performed. By spatially separating these ports from the power supply and server unit, error-free operation is guaranteed and the module expansion ability is improved. With the logical arrangement of each component and a stable and uniform structural form, by configuring the device in this way, the present invention solves the operability and structural inefficiencies existing in the prior system and provides a highly reliable and ergonomically designed platform for disease treatment and medical simulation supported by AI.

Advantages of the Invention

[0028] The medical simulation device of the present invention achieves several structural and ergonomic advantages that directly address the drawbacks found in conventional designs. By adopting a rectangular parallelepiped-shaped main body, the present invention establishes a structurally consistent and geometrically stable shape, enhancing both the visual appeal and practicality of the device. This distinct shape allows each functional unit to be systematically arranged on a dedicated surface, preventing space congestion and facilitating intuitive use.

[0029] The layout of spatially separated components enables users to operate the device efficiently and safely. The display unit and input interface arranged on the upper surface are located at diagonal ends, supporting parallel operation by multiple users and independent operation without obstacles. The cylindrical connection ports on the front are arranged linearly and modularly, with the server and power ports separately arranged, making the function mapping clear and easily accessible during simulation and treatment.

[0030] Another major advantage of this invention is the improvement in modularity and interface management. The left side of the device is designated for medical device connection and medical data input, with wireless and wired input ports arranged linearly. This physical configuration enables smooth integration of peripheral diagnostic tools, reduces the likelihood of errors in cable connections, and allows for simultaneous data capture from multiple sources without confusion. On the other hand, the right side is dedicated to communication functions and is equipped with a horizontally arranged transceiver unit and an external antenna attached to the back. This structural arrangement improves signal directivity and supports stable communication with remote AI servers and external platforms.

[0031] Furthermore, by including four base support units symmetrically arranged at the corners of the bottom surface, the balance, height, and surface heat insulation of the device are significantly improved. These support units made of polymer materials reduce mechanical vibration, protect against dust and moisture ingress, and ensure anti-slip with a flat surface, thus extending the operating life and stability of the device.

[0032] Overall, the structural configuration of this invention ensures that each component is ergonomically arranged, physically accessible, and logically positioned relative to other components. This reduces the risk of interference between functions, facilitates maintenance, and supports a cleaner, more modular, and more specialized arrangement of the simulation device in medical and research environments. As a result, this invention provides a highly reliable, user-friendly, and structurally optimized device for assisting disease treatment simulations through integration with AI technology.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0035] Hereinafter, an embodiment of a medical simulation device for disease treatment support using the AI technology according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the configuration of its components and their spatial arrangement. This embodiment particularly relates to the outer shape structure, physical shape, and positional relationship of various functional units incorporated in the device.

[0036] The medical simulation device (100) is designed with a rectangular prism-shaped housing that defines the overall outer shape of the device. This geometric configuration ensures structural uniformity, balance, and ease of installation on a flat surface. The device (100) is constructed using a durable material that can accommodate multiple modular components while maintaining dimensional stability and surface finish.

[0037] Two main components are arranged on the upper surface of the device (100):

[0038] A display unit (1) is fixed to the front part of the upper surface. This unit is rectangular and is configured to provide visual outputs related to the simulation process, visualization of patient data, and diagnostic information generated by the AI. Due to the position of this display unit, it can be directly visually recognized by the user during operation.

[0039] The user input unit (2) is attached to the upper rear side diagonally opposite to the display unit (1). The user input unit is formed as a circular touch-sensitive panel and is designed to receive manual inputs such as commands, selections, and navigation operations. The angled arrangement between the input unit and the display unit promotes ergonomic interaction, especially in a collaborative medical environment.

[0040] On the front wall of the device, there are a plurality of cylindrical connection ports for external interfaces. These consist of the following.

[0041] The first connection port (31), the second connection port (32), the third connection port (33), and the fourth connection port (34) are each configured as a standardized cylindrical socket. These ports are linearly arranged horizontally for modular connection with external devices such as medical sensors, simulation peripherals, or computing expansion functions ( ).

[0042] There is a server connection port (4) adjacent to the above ports, providing a direct physical interface for connecting this device to an external AI processing server. This connection facilitates the high-speed transmission of medical data and the reception of diagnostic outputs processed by AI algorithms.

[0043] Near the server port, there is a power supply unit (5). This is configured as an AC power input socket and is designed to receive power from a wall socket or a standard AC power supply. The position of the power port is separated from the connection of data or devices to clarify safety and operability.

[0044] A communication unit (6) is attached to the right side surface of the device (100). This unit includes the following.

[0045] The transmission unit (61) and the reception unit (62) are each in the form of horizontally arranged rectangular slots. By arranging these units horizontally, the signal transmission path is not obstructed, and the handling of cables is facilitated.

[0046] An antenna (7) is fixed to the back wall of the device (100). The antenna is cylindrical and protrudes vertically outward from the housing. This orientation improves wireless communication performance and enables a reliable connection to a wireless network, server, or data source, especially for real-time medical data exchange.

[0047] On the left side surface of the device, there is a dedicated interface section for medical device connection and data input:

[0048] The medical device connection port (8) is located on the upper side of this surface, opposite the communication unit (6). This port is structured to accommodate standardized cables and connectors from external medical diagnostic devices.

[0049] Below this port is the medical data input unit (9). This unit (9) comprises the following.

[0050] A wireless data input port (91) for receiving medical data from wireless-enabled external devices.

[0051] Four independent medical data receiving ports (10, 11, 12, 13) linearly arranged beside the wireless port. With these ports, the device can simultaneously receive structured medical data from multiple input channels such as patient monitors, biosignal recording devices, and treatment tracking devices.

[0052] To ensure stability and structural height, the device is equipped with four base support units (21, 22, 23, 24). These supports are symmetrically attached to the four corners of the device. Each support leg is made of a polymer material with heat insulation, shock absorption, and anti-slip effects. These support legs not only improve balance but also ensure clearance from the ground surface, thus protecting the device from dust, spills, and micro-vibrations during clinical use.

[0053] The relative positional relationships of the units, such as the upper surface, front, back, sides, and bottom surface, are carefully designed to reflect both the operation logic and user convenience. By using distinct surfaces for different functional groups (visualization, input, connection, communication, support), users can efficiently operate the device without confusion or overlapping functions. This modular and spatially defined design facilitates maintenance, system upgrades, and integration into the medical workflow.

[0054] It should be understood that the described embodiments represent a preferred structural arrangement of the present invention. Changes can be made without departing from the essential spirit of the present invention, especially in the shape of the ports, the number of data interfaces, or the dimensions of the device, as long as the core concept of the modular spatial distribution and shape-defining housing remains intact.
