Endoscope Display Information Switching via Segmentation
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing endoscope systems cannot easily switch between different types of information displayed on a split screen during examinations, limiting the ability of examiners to dynamically adjust the information displayed based on the situation.
Innovation Solution
An endoscope system with a display capable of visually recognizing the examiner, featuring a screen with multiple information regions and a selection region, allowing users to select and switch between various types of information displayed, including options for auxiliary information like AI analysis results, using a processor to manage and update the displayed content.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple types of information are simultaneously displayed on a split screen during endoscopy examination, then the examiner can access various auxiliary information (such as AI analysis results, insertion shape images, captured preview images), but it becomes difficult to easily switch the information to be displayed on the split screen
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is divided into multiple information regions (main screen and sub-screens), with each region capable of displaying different types of information independently. The sub-screens can be assigned to show various auxiliary information such as AI analysis results, insertion shape images, or captured preview images, allowing simultaneous display of multiple information types while maintaining clear visual organization and enabling easy switching by changing content in specific regions.
2Ease of operation
If fixed information is displayed on split screen regions, then the display configuration is simple, but the system cannot adapt to different examination situations and examiner needs
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables dynamic assignment of information to display regions through user operations. Examers can freely change which auxiliary information is displayed in each sub-screen region based on the current examination situation and personal preferences. The display configuration is not fixed but can be adjusted in real-time, allowing the system to adapt to different examination needs while maintaining a simple base configuration.

AI summary
A screen (70) of a display (7) includes a main screen (71), sub-screens (72) and (73), and an input list screen (74). During an examination using an endoscope (1), a control device (4) displays a plurality of types of information on the examination on the main screen (71) and the sub-screens (72) and (73), respectively. In addition, the control device (4) displays, on the input list screen (74), an option of the information to be displayed in a switching target information region included in the main screen (71) and the sub-screens (72) and (73). Moreover, the control device (4) switches the information to be displayed in the switching target information region based on a user operation of selecting the option.
