The setting processing unit 133 changes the contents of the setting value table in the setting information storage unit 132 according to the instruction received by the setting data input unit 135. The setting processing unit 133 also sets the contents of the setting value table in the setting information storage unit 132 based on the information received from the subject side device 1 via the communication line 2 and the transmission / reception unit processing unit 131. Processing for matching the contents of the value table is also performed (details will be described later).

  Next, the operation of the remote ultrasonic diagnostic system of the present embodiment configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 4 shows changes in the contents of the setting value table of the subject-side device 1 and the setting value table of the diagnostician-side device 3. In the example of the setting value table shown in FIG. 4, it is assumed that any value from “0” to “5” can be set as the selection value, and a value surrounded by a square is set as the selection value. Although schematically shown, the contents of the setting value table are not limited to this example.

  Initially, as shown in (a) of FIG. 4, it is assumed that the setting contents of the setting value table of the subject side apparatus 1 and the setting value table of the diagnostician side apparatus 3 match. Here, for example, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the setting processing unit 123 performs setting in the setting value table of the setting information storage unit 122 by an input from the setting data input unit 125 by the operator of the subject apparatus 1. It is assumed that the parameter of G is changed from “4” to “2”.

  At this time, the setting processing unit 123 changes the parameters in the setting value table as described above, and sends the contents of the changed setting value table to the transmission / reception processing unit 121 as a set of parameters. The transmission / reception processing unit 121 transmits the aggregate of parameters sent from the setting processing unit 123 to the diagnostician side device 3 via the communication line 2.

  Then, in the diagnostician side device 3, the transmission / reception processing unit 131 of the personal computer 31 receives a set of parameters from the subject side device 1 and passes it to the setting processing unit 133. The setting processing unit 133 compares the received set of parameters with the parameters stored in the setting value table of the setting information storage unit 132, and updates the parameters of the setting value table of the setting information storage unit 132 to the latest state. Update. Thereby, as shown in FIG. 4C, the parameter “2” of the setting G changed in the setting value table of the subject side apparatus 1 is also reflected in the setting value table of the diagnostician side apparatus 3, and the test is performed. The contents of the setting value tables of the body side device 1 and the diagnostician side device 3 are in a state in which they match each other.

  Here, the operation procedure of the subject apparatus 1 regarding the update process of the set value table is shown in the flowchart of FIG. The update processing of the setting value table is either the setting input by the setting data input unit 125 in the subject side device 1 or the transmission / reception processing unit 121 receives a set of parameters from the diagnostician side device 3 (Step S1). If there is a setting input from the setting data input unit 125 in the subject apparatus 1, the process proceeds to step S2, and the setting processing unit 123 sets the parameter input by the setting data input unit 125 as the setting value in the setting information storage unit 122. It is reflected in the table (step S2). Next, the setting processing unit 123 reads all the parameters of the setting value table updated in step S2 from the setting information storage unit 122, and sends them to the transmission / reception processing unit 121 (step S3). Then, the transmission / reception processing unit 121 transmits the parameter to the diagnostician side device 3 via the communication line 2 (step S4).

  On the other hand, when the transmission / reception processing unit 121 receives a set of parameters from the diagnostician-side device 3 in step S1, the transmission / reception processing unit 121 sets the parameters received from the diagnosticist-side device 3 via the communication line 2. The body is transferred to the setting processing unit 123 (step S5). Then, the setting processing unit 123 reflects the passed parameter aggregate in the setting value table of the setting information storage unit 122 (step S6).

  In addition, regarding the update process of the set value table, the process in the diagnostician side device 3 is the same as the flowchart of FIG. That is, when the operator of the diagnostician side device 3 inputs a setting from the setting data input unit 135, the processing of steps S2 to S4 is executed, and the transmission / reception processing unit 131 receives a set of parameters from the subject side device 1. If so, steps S5 to S6 are executed.

  As described above, according to the remote ultrasonic diagnostic system according to the present embodiment, the updated set value whenever the contents of the set value table are changed in either the subject-side device 1 or the diagnostician-side device 3. A collection of parameters in the table is transmitted to the other device, and the setting value table of the other device is updated. Thereby, due to a communication failure of the communication line 2 or the like, a situation occurs in which the control command is not correctly transmitted from the diagnostician side device 3 to the subject side device 1 or from the subject side device 1 to the diagnostician side device 3. However, it is possible to minimize the occurrence of a difference in parameter setting between the subject side device 1 and the diagnosis side device 3.

  In the present embodiment, whenever one of the subject-side device 1 and the diagnostician-side device 3 changes the contents of the setting value table, a set of parameters of the setting value table is transmitted to the other device. did. However, the present invention is not limited to this embodiment. For example, not only every time there is a change in the contents of the setting value table, a set of parameters of the setting value table may be transmitted at regular intervals. Moreover, the parameter transmitted between the subject side apparatus 1 and the diagnostician side apparatus 3 does not have to be a set of all parameters in the setting value table, and only needs to include parameters necessary and sufficient for various settings. . For example, only the changed parameter may be transmitted.

(Second Embodiment)
A remote ultrasonic diagnostic system according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the remote ultrasonic diagnostic system according to the present embodiment has a configuration in which one subject-side device 1 and two diagnostician-side devices 3 and 4 are connected via a communication line 2. It is. The diagnostician-side device 4 has a personal computer 41 having the same configuration as the personal computer 31 of the diagnostician-side device 3 and can remotely operate the subject-side device 1 via the communication line 2.

  Thus, even when three or more devices are connected to each other, the setting tables of all the devices must be the same. However, while the operator of the subject side device 1 or the operator of the diagnostic side device 3 or the operator of the diagnostic side device 4 repeats a number of operations, the subject side device 1 and Differences may occur in the settings of the diagnostician side devices 3 and 4. An example of this state is shown in FIG. In FIG. 7A, there is a difference between the parameter in the setting G of the setting value table of the subject side apparatus 1 and the parameter of the setting G in the setting value table of the diagnostician side apparatuses 3 and 4.

  In the present embodiment, the subject-side device 1 and the diagnostician-side devices 3 and 4 mutually transmit and receive a set of parameters of each setting value table via the communication line 2. Thereby, each apparatus can recognize that the parameters in the setting G of the setting value table do not match. When it is recognized that the settings of the respective devices do not match, the parameters of the setting value table are set in any one of the subject-side device 1 and the diagnostician-side devices 3 and 4, or in all these devices. And determining how to correct the mismatched parameters by a method such as majority voting. Then, according to the determination result, the parameters of the setting value table of all devices are changed.

  For example, in the state shown in FIG. 7A, the parameter value of the setting G is “2” only in the setting value table of the subject side device 1, and the parameter value of the setting G is the diagnosis side devices 3 and 4. Is “4”. Therefore, according to the majority decision, it is determined that the parameter value of the setting G of the subject side apparatus 1 should be changed to “4”. As a result, the value of setting G in the setting value table of the subject apparatus 1 is corrected to “4” as shown in FIG. By providing such a function, even when a control command does not arrive correctly due to a communication failure or the like, it is possible to suppress a difference in setting between the subject side device and the diagnostician side device.

  As a method for determining a set of setting information when a difference occurs in settings between the devices, the selection value after change may be determined by majority decision based on the selection value of the setting of each device.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the configuration using an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus as an example of diagnostic equipment has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to a remote ultrasonic diagnostic system, and a diagnosis that allows remote operation is possible. The present invention can be applied to various remote diagnosis systems including equipment.
