Remote Ultrasound Interface Separation for Precise Measurement
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing ultrasound remote diagnosis systems face operational inconveniences and reduced accuracy due to overlapping display and control data during remote diagnosis processes.
Innovation Solution
The system employs a configuration where a remote device and a main body independently receive and display real-time image and control data without overlap, allowing for a measurement mode that uses separate pointers for precise measurement, enabling two-way transmission and reception between touch and control panels.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If display data, touch panel data, and control panel data are transmitted together to remote device, then complete interface information is available, but display elements overlap and reduce operational clarity
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the transmission data into three distinct types: display data (ultrasound images), touch panel data (touchscreen interactions), and control panel data (physical button inputs). Each type is transmitted separately to the remote device, allowing independent rendering without overlap. This segmentation preserves complete interface information while maintaining operational clarity by preventing visual confusion between different control elements.
2Measurement precision
If measurement markers are shared between main body and remote device, then measurement accuracy is improved, but synchronization complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a feedback mechanism where measurement markers placed on the ultrasound image at the main body are automatically synchronized to the remote device, and vice versa. When a user places a marker at a specific location on the ultrasound image, the system detects this action, transmits the marker position data to the other device, and renders the marker at the corresponding location. This feedback loop ensures measurement accuracy is maintained across both devices without requiring complex manual synchronization procedures.
