Surgical Video Quick Save With Automatic Copy Completion Feedback
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing methods for transferring large surgical video records are prone to errors and burden operators with tedious and error-prone workflows, particularly when using external storage devices like USB for data transfer.
Innovation Solution
An apparatus and method that automatically select and copy surgical videos based on user IDs or device identifiers, reducing user interaction to a single click, and ensuring complete transfer with automatic indication of completion, thereby minimizing errors and operator burden.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual copying methods are used for surgical videos, then operators have control over the copying process, but the risk of copying errors increases and operator burden increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs automatic video selection and copying without requiring operator intervention. The surgical video is automatically copied from the first device to the second device based on device identifiers, eliminating manual operations and reducing both operator burden and copying errors.
Solution Approach 2:
The system automatically determines when the video copying is complete and provides feedback by displaying an indication to the user. This automated feedback mechanism ensures copying accuracy while eliminating the need for manual verification by operators.
2Ease of operation
If automatic copying is implemented, then operator burden is reduced, but the risk of copying errors may increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically selects videos based on device identifiers and performs copying without operator intervention. This automation reduces operator burden while maintaining accuracy through systematic identification and verification processes.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of the second device and automatic video selection before copying begins. This preliminary action ensures that the correct video is copied to the correct device, preventing errors while maintaining automation.
3Measurement precision
If manual video selection is used, then copying precision can be controlled, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically identifies and selects the surgical video for copying based on device identifiers, eliminating manual video selection. This self-service approach maintains selection accuracy while dramatically reducing the time required for the copying process.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs preliminary identification of videos based on device identifiers before the copying process begins. This preliminary action ensures accurate video selection while enabling rapid automated copying, reducing overall time consumption.
4Productivity
If automated video copying is implemented, then productivity increases, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements automated video copying that performs selection, transfer, and completion detection without operator intervention. This self-service automation increases productivity while managing complexity through integrated system operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The apparatus is configured to perform multiple functions including automatic video selection, copying, completion detection, and indication display. This multi-functionality increases productivity while consolidating complexity into a single integrated system.
