DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wearer for patient recognition.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art There has been proposed a patient-recognition wearing device (hereinafter, referred to as a wristband) which is worn on a part of a patient's body and provided with personal information for identifying the patient. For example, in a wristband disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-72507, a patient's name, patient ID, date of birth, and blood type are described, and the ID is printed in the form of a barcode. Japanese Patent Publication No. 6-72507 discloses an apparatus for reliably identifying a blood unit to be applied to a wristband.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The above-mentioned Japanese Patent Publication No. Hei 6-7
In the publication No. 2507, it was not possible to recognize from which wristband the patient wearing the wristband was hospitalized, or to which "department" he was hospitalized. As a means to solve this problem, it is conceivable to print the information indicating the hospitalization section in the form of a barcode. However, if there is no device for reading the barcode around the patient, it is useless in an emergency. was there.

[0004] The present invention has been made in view of such problems, and aims at determining which ward a patient is hospitalized in, or which "department" the patient is admitted to. Another object of the present invention is to provide a patient-recognition fitting that can easily recognize a patient who cannot understand words such as nurses from a fitting worn by the patient.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention provides a patient-recognition mounting device attached to a part of a patient's body and provided with personal information for identifying the patient. The identification device for identifying the ward to which the hospitalized patient belongs and / or the department to which the hospitalized patient belongs is provided on the patient recognition wearer.

FIG. 13 shows the wristband 10 of the present embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing a configuration of an electronic endoscope system 110 provided with a barcode reader for reading a barcode printed on “0”. In the figure, reference numeral 111 denotes an endoscope. The endoscope scope 111 is inserted into a body cavity, images an image of a part in the body with an image pickup means such as a built-in CCD camera, and outputs an image pickup signal. Reference numeral 112 denotes a light source introduced to the endoscope 111.

Reference numeral 113 denotes a video processor that controls the entire electronic endoscope apparatus, and receives an imaging signal V of a part in the body output from the endoscope 110.

The video processor 113 includes a light source 11
2. A recording device 114 for recording various data, an observation monitor 115 such as a CRT display, a barcode reader 116 for reading a barcode given to the wristband 100, and a keyboard 117 are connected.

FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the video processor 113 in FIG. 13 in detail. 14, the same parts as those of FIG. 13 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In FIG. 14, an image signal output from the endoscope 111 is converted into a digital image signal via an A / D conversion circuit 131. The digital imaging signal is sent to the imaging circuit 132 to generate an image signal.
This video signal is input to the synthesis circuit 133. The synthesizing circuit 133 generates a synthesized video signal by synthesizing a video signal corresponding to a character to be displayed on the observation monitor 115 output from an on-screen generation unit 134 described later and a video signal output from the imaging circuit 132. , D / A conversion circuit 13
5 is output. The composite video signal output from the D / A conversion circuit 135 is output to the observation monitor 115.

Reference numeral 141 denotes a control unit that controls the electronic endoscope apparatus. A memory 142, a front panel 142 including various operation units, a communication I / F (interface) 1 are provided on a system bus 141a from the control unit 141.
43, the above-described on-screen generation unit 134 is connected. A bitmap memory 136 that stores image data for one frame of the observation monitor 115 is connected to the on-screen generation unit 134. The on-screen generation unit 134 converts the input character data into image data and temporarily stores it in the bitmap memory 136. Further, the on-screen generating unit 134 converts the image data temporarily stored in the bitmap memory 136 into a video signal and outputs the video signal to the synthesizing circuit 133.

A bar code reader 116, a keyboard 117, and an information device 144 are connected to the communication I / F 143. The information device 144 is, for example, a PC (personal computer) placed at a hospital reception or the like.

Referring to FIG. 14, a process after the barcode of the patient's wristband 100 is read by the barcode reader 116 will be described. On-screen generation of the patient ID, the patient name stored in association with the ID stored for each patient ID in the memory 114, and the date and time as calendar information clocked by a clock circuit (not shown) Sent to the unit 134. Then, these character data are converted into image data and temporarily stored in the bitmap memory 136 as image data.

By the way, the image of the part of the patient's body cavity taken by the endoscope 111 is converted into an A / D conversion circuit 131.
After being converted into a digital image signal via the interface, is sent to the imaging circuit 132 to generate an image signal. The on-screen generation unit 134 converts the input character data into image data and temporarily stores it in the bitmap memory 136. Further, the on-screen generating unit 134 converts the image data temporarily stored in the bitmap memory 136 into a video signal and outputs the video signal to the synthesizing circuit 133. The synthesizing circuit 133 synthesizes a video signal output from the on-screen generation unit 134 and corresponding to a character to be displayed on the observation monitor 115 and a video signal output from the imaging circuit 132 to generate a synthesized video signal. The signal is output to the A conversion circuit 135. The composite video signal output from the D / A conversion circuit 135 is output to the observation monitor 115 and displayed.

FIG. 15 shows display contents displayed on the observation monitor 115. That is, on the observation monitor 115,
Image 1 of a patient's body cavity captured by endoscope 110
51 is displayed, and the patient ID, the patient name, and the date are displayed.
