Medical Control System Single-Screen Input Output Management
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing medical control systems cannot perform control associated with input/output of images and control of apparatuses in a single screen, limiting user operability.
Innovation Solution
A medical control apparatus and method that displays one or more regions for the image input source, output destination, and control of these components in a single screen, allowing for efficient management and operation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If existing medical control apparatus displays input source and output destination in one screen, then browsability and visibility are improved, but control of image input/output and apparatus cannot be performed in one screen
Solution Approach 1:
The display screen is segmented into multiple functional regions: a first display region for showing the input source, a second display region for showing the output destination, and a third display region for controlling image input/output and apparatus operations. This segmentation allows each region to serve its specific function while collectively providing comprehensive control and visibility in one screen.
2Device complexity
If control functions are separated from display functions, then system complexity is reduced, but user operability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention merges display functions and control functions into a single integrated user interface screen. The first display region, second display region, and third display region are combined in one screen, allowing users to simultaneously view input sources, output destinations, and perform control operations without switching between separate systems or screens.
Data Source
AI summary
Provided is a medical control apparatus including: a processing unit configured to cause one or both of a first display region in which an object relating to an input source of an image is to be displayed and a second display region in which an object relating to an output destination of an image is to be displayed and a third display region in which an object for controlling the input source or the output destination is to be displayed, to be displayed in one screen.
