Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If manual input methods are used to record device information, then flexibility in data entry is maintained, but input errors increase and data accuracy decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables automatic self-service data capture by having the medical device automatically transmit its identification information (serial number, model, etc.) to the recording system through integrated communication interfaces, eliminating the need for manual data entry while ensuring accurate data capture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical manual input process with an automated electronic data transmission system where the medical device directly communicates its identification information to the recording system through integrated communication protocols, substituting human operation with automated electronic processes
2Device complexity
If independent units are used for image and device data recording, then system simplicity is maintained, but association accuracy between image and device information deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the image recording function and device information recording function into a single integrated recording system that simultaneously captures both types of data and automatically associates them through shared identification parameters, eliminating the need for separate independent recording units
3Reliability
If automatic data capture is implemented, then data accuracy improves, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The recording system is designed with multi-functionality to simultaneously perform image data recording, device information capture, and automatic association of these data types through integrated communication interfaces, allowing a single system to handle multiple tasks without requiring separate specialized devices

AI summary
A medical image recording system easily obtains information of a device, etc. used at the time of an examination without conscious effort on operator's part, and records image information and the device information, which are obtained at the time of the examination, by making a 1-to-1 association between them. The system comprises at least an image information obtaining unit obtaining an observation image at the time of an examination for a medical treatment, a device information obtaining unit obtaining information of a device used at the time of the examination, and a recording unit recording information composing of the image information obtained by the image information obtaining unit and the device information obtained by the device information obtaining unit, as one associated information.
