[0007] Note that in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the above information is an imaging order including the identification information of the user, and the processor determines whether the user is changed using the imaging order, and when it is determined that the user is changed, a cleaning request may be notified.

[0008] Also, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the processor determines whether the user is changed using the identification information of the user obtained by short-range wireless communication with the control device, and when it is determined that the user is changed, a cleaning request may be notified.

[0009] Also, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, after the first user exits the imaging room, when the processor uses the entry / exit information of the user to the imaging room where the control device is installed and detects that a second user different from the first user has entered the imaging room, a cleaning request may be notified.

[0010] Also, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the processor determines whether the user is changed using the image information of the user who has approached within a certain distance of the control device captured by the camera, and when it is determined that the user is changed, a cleaning request may be notified.

[0011] Also, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, when the processor detects that the imaging of the subject by the imaging device has ended, the subject may be regarded as being changed and a cleaning request may be notified.

[0012] Also, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the processor may detect that the imaging of the subject has ended using at least one of the status information of the imaging device and the status information of the control device.

[0013] In addition, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the processor may further notify a cleaning request for the imaging device paired with the control device.

[0014] In addition, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, after the processor notifies a cleaning request, if the control device has not been cleaned even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the processor may notify a warning.

[0015] In addition, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, after the processor notifies a cleaning request, if the period until the next use of the control device that has not been cleaned is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value, the processor may notify a warning.

[0016] In addition, in the information processing apparatus of the present disclosure, the processor may further perform control to prohibit the use of the control device for which a warning is to be notified.

[0017] In addition, the information processing method of the present disclosure is such that, based on information that can be acquired non-contact with the control device before at least one of a user who operates the control device that controls the imaging device for taking a medical image and a subject imaged by the imaging device is changed, the processor included in the information processing apparatus executes a process of notifying a cleaning request for the control device.

[0018] In addition, the information processing program of the present disclosure is for causing the processor included in the information processing apparatus to execute a process of notifying a cleaning request for the control device based on information that can be acquired non-contact with the control device before at least one of a user who operates the control device that controls the imaging device for taking a medical image and a subject imaged by the imaging device is changed.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0021] Hereinafter, with reference to the drawings, exemplary embodiments for implementing the technology of the present disclosure will be described in detail.

[0022] [First Embodiment] First, with reference to FIG. 1, the configuration of the information processing system 10 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 1, the information processing system 10 includes a photographing device 12, a console 14, and a portable information terminal 16. The photographing device 12, the console 14, and the portable information terminal 16 are connected to be communicable with each other. The portable information terminal 16 is a shared terminal device. The console 14 is an example of an information processing device according to the disclosed technology.

[0023] The imaging device 12 captures medical images. Examples of the imaging device 12 include a CT (Computed Tomography) device, an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) device, and a DR (Digital Radiography) cassette, etc.

[0024] The portable information terminal 16 is an example of a control device that controls the imaging device 12 together with the console 14. Examples of the portable information terminal 16 include a tablet-type computer and a smartphone, etc.

[0025] Next, referring to FIG. 2, the hardware configuration of the console 14 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the console 14 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 20, a memory 21 as a temporary storage area, and a non-volatile storage unit 22. In addition, the console 14 includes a display 23 such as a liquid crystal display, an input device 24 such as a keyboard and a mouse, and a network I / F (InterFace) 25 connected to a network. The CPU 20, the memory 21, the storage unit 22, the display 23, the input device 24, and the network I / F 25 are connected to a bus 27.

[0026] The storage unit 22 is realized by an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), an SSD (Solid State Drive), a flash memory, or the like. An information processing program 30 is stored in the storage unit 22 as a storage medium. The CPU 20 reads the information processing program 30 from the storage unit 22 and expands it in the memory 21, and executes the expanded information processing program 30.

[0027] Next, referring to FIG. 3, the functional configuration of the console 14 according to the present embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 3, the console 14 includes an acquisition unit 40, a determination unit 42, and a notification unit 44. When the CPU 20 of the console 14 executes the information processing program 30, it functions as the acquisition unit 40, the determination unit 42, and the notification unit 44.

[0028] The acquisition unit 40 acquires a shooting order transmitted from a management system that manages examinations within a hospital, such as a RIS (Radiology Information System). This shooting order includes, for example, information for identifying a subject to be photographed by the imaging device 12, such as the shooting site, radiation irradiation conditions, patient name, etc., and identification information of a user who operates the portable information terminal 16, such as a radiological technologist. Further, the acquisition unit 40 acquires, as status information of the imaging device 12, imaging completion information indicating that the imaging of the subject transmitted from the imaging device 12 has been completed. Note that the imaging completion information may be transmitted from the portable information terminal 16 as status information of the portable information terminal 16.

[0029] When the imaging completion information is acquired by the acquisition unit 40, the determination unit 42 determines whether the user is changed using the shooting order. In the present embodiment, before the shooting based on one shooting order by the imaging device 12 is completed and the user is changed, the next shooting order is transmitted to the console 14. In other words, before the users are replaced and the next user touches the portable information terminal 16, the next shooting order is transmitted to the console 14. That is, the shooting order is information that the console 14 can acquire even in a state where the next user does not touch the portable information terminal 16 before the user is changed. Also, it can be said that the shooting order is information that the console 14 can acquire even in a state where the next user does not touch the portable information terminal 16 before the subject is changed.

[0030] When it is determined by the determination unit 42 that the user is changed, the notification unit 44 notifies a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16. Specifically, the notification unit 44 transmits a message indicating a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16 to the portable information terminal 16. The portable information terminal 16 notifies the cleaning request by displaying the message transmitted from the notification unit 44 on the display of the portable information terminal 16. Thereby, the user who operates the portable information terminal 16 based on the next shooting order can grasp that it is the timing to clean the portable information terminal 16 before touching the portable information terminal 16. For this reason, the spread of infectious diseases via the portable information terminal 16 can be suppressed.

[0031] The user cleans the portable information terminal 16 by irradiating the outer surface of the portable information terminal 16 with UV (Ultra Violet) having a wavelength of 222 nm, for example. Note that when the console 14 is shared, the notification unit 44 may also notify the console 14 of the cleaning request. Further, the cleaning method of the portable information terminal 16 is not limited to UV irradiation, and may be disinfection with an alcohol disinfectant solution, or a combination of a plurality of cleaning methods may be used.

[0032] Next, with reference to FIG. 4, the operation of the console 14 according to the present embodiment will be described. When the CPU 20 of the console 14 executes the information processing program 30, the cleaning request notification process shown in FIG. 4 is executed. The cleaning request notification process shown in FIG. 4 is executed, for example, when the acquisition unit 40 of the console 14 acquires the imaging end information transmitted from the imaging device 12. Also, at the timing when the acquisition unit 40 acquires the imaging end information, it is assumed that the acquisition unit 40 acquires the imaging order for the next imaging.

[0033] In step S10 of FIG. 4, the determination unit 42 determines whether the user is changed by determining whether the identification information of the user included in the immediately preceding imaging order is different from the identification information of the user included in the next imaging order. If this determination is an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to step S12.

[0034] In step S12, as described above, the notification unit 44 notifies the cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16. When the process of step S12 ends, the cleaning request notification process ends. Also, if the determination in step S10 is a negative determination, the cleaning request notification process ends.

[0035] Next, a specific example will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the imaging device 12 is installed in the imaging room, the console 14 is installed in the preparation room, and the portable information terminal 16 can be carried between the imaging room and the preparation room.

[0036] User A guides subject A into the photography studio and checks subject A and the shooting conditions while looking at the first shooting order displayed on the display of the portable information terminal 16. Also, user A prepares for shooting such as positioning subject A, and after the preparation for shooting is completed, moves to the preparation room. Further, user A starts shooting by the imaging device 12 by performing an operation to start shooting such as pressing the radiation irradiation button in the preparation room. After the shooting is completed, user A guides subject A out of the photography studio.

[0037] Next, user A guides subject B into the photography studio and checks subject B and the shooting conditions while looking at the second shooting order displayed on the display of the portable information terminal 16. At this time, since the user identification information included in the first shooting order and the user identification information included in the second shooting order are the same, a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16 is not notified. User A performs shooting of subject B by the imaging device 12 in the same manner as subject A, and then guides subject B out of the photography studio.

[0038] Next, user B guides subject C into the photography studio. Since the user identification information included in the third shooting order regarding the shooting of subject C is different from the user identification information included in the second shooting order, a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16 is notified after the shooting based on the second shooting order is completed. Therefore, user B can grasp that it is the timing to clean the portable information terminal 16 before touching the portable information terminal 16. For this reason, user B will perform shooting of subject C by the imaging device 12 after cleaning the portable information terminal 16.

[0039] Next, as an example, as shown in FIG. 6, an example will be described in which three imaging devices 12 are installed one by one in three photography studios, one preparation room is prepared for the three photography studios, and one console 14 is installed in the preparation room. In the example of FIG. 6, two portable information terminals 16 are prepared, two users A and B are assigned to the two portable information terminals 16, and one user D is assigned to the console 14.

[0040] In such a situation, as shown in FIG. 6, it is preferable to fixedly assign one of the two portable information terminals 16 to user A and the other of the two portable information terminals 16 to user B. This can reduce the frequency of cleaning requirement notifications.

[0041] Next, an example where there are more portable information terminals 16 than the number of users will be described. This occurs, for example, as shown in FIG. 7, in a situation where three users A, B, and C are each assigned to one of the three portable information terminals 16, and one user (user C in the example of FIG. 7) takes a break. In this case, by stopping the use of the portable information terminal 16 assigned to user C, the frequency of cleaning requirement notifications can be reduced. From the above, from the perspective of reducing the frequency of cleaning requirement notifications, it is preferable to assign the portable information terminal 16 to the user rather than to the photography room.

[0042] In addition, in order to reduce the frequency of cleaning requirement notifications, it is preferable for the user to use the portable information terminal 16 only in the photography room without bringing it into the preparation room. Also, when there are two or more users, it is preferable to separate them into users dedicated to the photography room and users dedicated to the preparation room. In this case, it is preferable for the users dedicated to the photography room to wear protective clothing.

[0043] As described above, according to this embodiment, since the cleaning requirement notification of the object is appropriately performed, the spread of infectious diseases through the object can be suppressed.

[0044] Note that in the first embodiment, the functions of the acquisition unit 40, the determination unit 42, and the notification unit 44 may be provided in the portable information terminal 16. In this case, the portable information terminal 16 will also serve as an information processing apparatus according to the disclosed technology and a control apparatus for controlling the imaging apparatus 12.

[0045] In this exemplary embodiment, the portable information terminal 16 may determine whether the user has been changed by using the identification information of the user obtained by short-range wireless communication. In this case, for example, the portable information terminal 16 acquires the identification information of the user from an ID (Identification) card in which an IC (Integrated Circuit) chip recording the identification information of the user possessed by the user is embedded.

[0046] Also, in the first embodiment, an example in which a cleaning request is notified when the user is changed has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, it may be a form in which a cleaning request is notified when the subject is changed. Also, in this exemplary embodiment, when the notification unit 44 detects that the photographing of the subject by the photographing device 12 has ended, the notification unit 44 may regard the subject as having been changed and notify a cleaning request. For example, when the acquisition unit 40 acquires the photographing end information transmitted from the photographing device 12, the notification unit 44 detects that the photographing of the subject by the photographing device 12 has ended. Also, for example, when information indicating that the photographing has been ended by the user is input, the notification unit 44 may detect that the photographing of the subject by the photographing device 12 has ended.

[0047] Also, for example, the portable information terminal 16 may determine whether the user has been changed by using the image information of the user who has approached within a certain distance of the portable information terminal 16 and has been photographed by a camera provided in the portable information terminal 16.

[0048] Also, in the first embodiment, the notification unit 44 may further notify a cleaning request for the photographing device 12 paired with the portable information terminal 16.

[0049] Also, in the first embodiment, after the notification unit 44 notifies a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16, if the cleaning of the portable information terminal 16 has not been performed even after a certain period of time has elapsed, the notification unit 44 may notify a warning. Whether the cleaning of the portable information terminal 16 has been performed can be determined by the cleaner inputting information indicating that the cleaning has ended after the cleaning of the portable information terminal 16 has been performed.

[0050] Also, in the first embodiment, after the notification unit 44 notifies the cleaning request of the mobile information terminal 16, if the period until the next use of the mobile information terminal 16 for which cleaning has not been performed becomes equal to or less than a preset threshold value, a warning may be notified. The threshold value in this case is preset according to hospital policies and the like. This warning is erased when the cleaning of the mobile information terminal 16 is performed. As an example of the notification of this warning, a warning message may be displayed on the display of the mobile information terminal 16, the LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamp of the mobile information terminal 16 may be lit or blinked, and a warning sound may be emitted from the speaker of the mobile information terminal 16. Also, as an example of the notification of this warning, a warning message may be sent to the mobile information terminal held by a person in charge preset as the administrator of the mobile information terminal 16, or to the e-mail address of the person in charge.

[0051] Further, until the cleaning is performed, the mobile information terminal 16 may further perform control to prohibit the use of the mobile information terminal 16 that has been the target of the above warning notification. Examples of the control to prohibit the use of the mobile information terminal 16 include, for example, canceling the pairing with the imaging device 12.

[0052] Also, in the first embodiment, when the imaging order does not include the identification information of the user, when the user is changed, delimiter information indicating that the user has been changed may be inserted between the imaging orders. In this case, it is determined whether the user has been changed based on whether there is delimiter information between two consecutive imaging orders.

[0053] Also, in the first embodiment, when the mobile information terminal 16 has not been operated for a preset period (for example, 5 minutes) or more, it may be regarded that the operation by the user is completed and then the next operation is performed by a different user, and a cleaning request may be notified.

[0054] [Second Embodiment] In the first embodiment, an example of notifying a cleaning request based on a shooting order was described. In the second embodiment, an example of notifying a cleaning request based on information other than the shooting order will be described.

[0055] First, with reference to FIG. 8, the configuration of the information processing system 100 according to this embodiment will be described. For the same components as in the first embodiment, the same reference numerals will be given and the description will be omitted. As shown in FIG. 8, the information processing system 100 includes a photographing device 12, a console 14, a portable information terminal 16, and an information processing device 18. The information processing device 18 is communicably connected to the console 14 and the portable information terminal 16.

[0056] Since the hardware configuration of the information processing device 18 is the same as that of the console 14 (see FIG. 2), the description thereof will be omitted.

[0057] In this embodiment, the entry / exit information of the user to the photographing room where the portable information terminal 16 is installed is stored in the information processing device 18 by short-range wireless communication such as an IC tag. Specifically, an IC tag reader is installed near the entrance and exit of the photographing room. Then, when the user enters the photographing room and when the user exits the photographing room, the user holds an ID card embedded with an IC chip in which the user's identification information is recorded in front of the IC tag reader. Thereby, the identification information of the user is read by the IC tag reader, and the read identification information of the user is transmitted to the information processing device 18. The entry / exit information is information that the information processing device 18 can acquire in a non-contact state with the next user even before the user is changed.

[0058] Next, with reference to FIG. 9, the functional configuration of the information processing device 18 according to this embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 9, the information processing device 18 includes a determination unit 52 and a notification unit 54. When the CPU 20 of the information processing device 18 executes the information processing program 30, it functions as the determination unit 52 and the notification unit 54.

[0059] The determination unit 52 determines whether a second user different from the first user has entered the photography room after the first user has left the photography room, using the entry / exit information of the user to the photography room where the portable information terminal 16 is installed.

[0060] Similar to the notification unit 44, the notification unit 54 notifies a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16 when it is determined by the determination unit 52 that a second user different from the first user has entered the photography room after the first user has left the photography room.

[0061] Next, with reference to FIG. 10, the operation of the information processing apparatus 18 according to the present embodiment will be described. By the CPU 20 of the information processing apparatus 18 executing the information processing program 30, the cleaning request notification process shown in FIG. 10 is executed. The cleaning request notification process shown in FIG. 10 is executed, for example, when the information processing apparatus 18 receives entry / exit information to the photography room.

[0062] In step S20 of FIG. 10, the determination unit 52 determines whether a second user different from the first user has entered the photography room after the first user has left the photography room, using the entry / exit information of the user to the photography room where the portable information terminal 16 is installed. If this determination is an affirmative determination, the process proceeds to step S22.

[0063] In step S22, the notification unit 54 notifies a cleaning request for the portable information terminal 16 as described above. When the process of step S22 ends, the cleaning request notification process ends. Also, if the determination in step S20 is a negative determination, the cleaning request notification process ends.

[0064] As described above, according to the present embodiment, the same effects as those of the first embodiment can be achieved.

[0065] Note that, in the second embodiment, the determination unit 52 may use a moving image captured at a predetermined frame rate by a camera that captures the vicinity of the entrance and exit of the photography room as the user's entry and exit information for the photography room where the portable information terminal 16 is installed. In this case, the determination unit 52 performs image analysis processing on the moving image captured by the camera, and determines whether a second user different from the first user has entered the photography room after the first user has left the photography room.

[0066] Also, in each of the above embodiments, for example, as the hardware structure of a processing unit that executes various processes such as the acquisition unit 40, the determination units 42 and 52, and the notification units 44 and 54, the following various processors can be used. As described above, among the above various processors, in addition to the CPU, which is a general-purpose processor that executes software (program) and functions as various processing units, there are programmable logic devices (PLDs) such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays), which are processors whose circuit configuration can be changed after manufacture, and dedicated electric circuits, which are processors having a circuit configuration designed specifically to execute specific processes such as ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuits).

[0067] One processing unit may be composed of one of these various processors, or may be composed of a combination of two or more processors of the same type or different types (for example, a combination of multiple FPGAs, or a combination of a CPU and an FPGA). Also, a plurality of processing units may be composed of one processor.

[0068] Examples of configuring a plurality of processing units with a single processor include, first, a form in which one processor is configured by a combination of one or more CPUs and software, as typified by computers such as clients and servers, and this processor functions as a plurality of processing units. Second, there is a form in which a processor that realizes the functions of an entire system including a plurality of processing units with a single IC (Integrated Circuit) chip, as typified by a System on Chip (SoC). Thus, various processing units are configured using one or more of the above various processors as a hardware structure.

[0069] Furthermore, as a hardware structure of these various processors, more specifically, circuitry combined with circuit elements such as semiconductor elements can be used.

[0070] Also, in the above embodiments, the mode in which the information processing program 30 is pre-stored (installed) in the storage unit 22 has been described, but it is not limited thereto. The information processing program 30 may be provided in a form recorded on a recording medium such as a CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read Only Memory), a DVD-ROM (Digital Versatile Disc Read Only Memory), and a USB (Universal Serial Bus) memory. Also, the information processing program 30 may be in a form downloaded from an external device via a network.
