[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to improvement of a telemedicine system in which a doctor side terminal and a patient side terminal are connected by an ISDN network.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A terminal on the hospital side and a terminal on the patient side, which are developed from a videophone system, are connected via an ISDN network, and an image, a video, a voice, and a condition on the patient side are shown between a hospital and a home patient. A telemedicine system has been proposed for performing home medical care by communicating vital signs such as blood pressure and pulse as data. (Japanese Patent Application No. 05-144093) FIG. 15 is a block diagram of a conventional telemedicine system.

In FIG. 15, a telephone set 101 and a remote control operating section 10 are shown.
3, a doctor-side medical terminal 130 having a CPU-controlled doctor-side adapter 113 to which the TV phone 105 and the personal computer 107 are connected
And a patient side medical terminal 131 having a CPU-controlled patient side adapter 114 to which a telephone set 102, a remote controller 104, a videophone 106, and a vital sensor 108 are connected.
Connected via 2.

The telephones 101 and 102 of the doctor and the patient
Connection between the doctors and the videophones 105 and 106 on the patient side by operating the call key on the remote control operation unit 103 or 104.
This is performed via the doctor side adapter 113 and the patient side adapter 114.

Further, the code of the vital sensor 108 for counting the blood pressure and the pulse and transmitting the counted values is set to the patient side adapter 114.
, And the doctor side adapter 113 and the patient side adapter 11 by one-touch dial operation of the remote control operation unit 103 or 104.
If the personal computer 107 and the vital sensor 108 are connected via 4 and the vital sensor 108 is connected internally, blood pressure and pulse measurement data are displayed on the personal computer 107.

When the patient connects the telephones 102, 101 by operating the one-touch dial of the remote control operation unit 103 and requests a diagnosis, the doctor connects the videophones 105, 106 by operating the one-touch dial operation of the remote control operation unit 103 and the vital sensor 10
8 and the personal computer 107 are connected, and the call to the patient, the wound and the face of the patient imaged by the camera of the TV phone 106
The patient is examined based on the display of the V-phone 105 and the blood pressure and pulse value of the patient displayed on the personal computer 107.

The telephone number of the patient side terminal is the doctor side adapter
The telephone numbers for one-touch dialing of the telephone 102, the video telephone 106, and the vital sensor 108 are stored in the patient adapter 114.

In the actual operation of the above system, the doctor is enrolled in an outpatient consultation room during the daytime, and is enrolled at a nighttime reception desk or the like different from here during the nighttime. In addition, because the patient wants to be able to call a person such as a friend who wants to call frequently with one touch, the one-touch dial telephone number in the patient terminal is registered or changed at any time. In addition, when the doctor's terminal communicates with the patient's terminal through the videophones 105 and 106, the videophone 106 is reset when an abnormality occurs on the patient's side,
Further, it is also necessary to reset the vital sensor 108 when the abnormal value of the count value occurs during transmission of the measured value by the vital sensor 108, and to internally connect and disconnect the vital sensor 108 on the patient side terminal 131 side.

[0009]

However, due to the lack of understanding of the device, the patient changes the telephone number for one-touch dialing, connects the vital sensor 108 internally, and
Disconnection operation, resetting of the videophone 106 when an error occurs during communication with the videophones 10 and 106, and resetting of the vital sensor 108 when an anomaly of the count value occurs during transmission of the measured value by the vital sensor 108 I can't.

For this reason, the above operation has a problem that an operator who understands the device goes to the patient side medical terminal 131 to perform the operation, which is troublesome. Also, when the patient side calls from the hospital side, the patient needs to perform an incoming call answering operation such as going to the location of the patient side terminal and answering when there is an incoming call, or searching for a remote control operation unit and answering. However, there is a problem of burdening the patient.

Furthermore, when a video for rehabilitation is distributed to the patient in advance and the video image is shown to the patient and the patient tries to give instructions for rehabilitation through the home care system, the patient operates the video device. However, there is also a problem that it is difficult for the patient to perform this operation.

According to the present invention, the change of the telephone number for one-touch dial of the patient side medical terminal, the operation of internal connection and disconnection of the vital sensor 8, the reset of the video telephone 6 and the reset of the vital sensor 8 are performed by the medical doctor side. The purpose of the present invention is to provide a telemedicine system that reduces the burden on the patient side by enabling it to be performed from the terminal and automating the incoming call response operation to the call from the doctor side.

[0013]

It is configured to perform processing.

[0017]

According to the present invention, an incoming call from a telephone number having a special incoming call attribute registered in the terminal on the patient side is judged from the call connection message and automatically answered, so no response operation on the patient side is required. Becomes Also, since the image input of the videophone on the patient side is masked for a certain period after the automatic call answering,
The image of the patient side is not transmitted to the doctor side against the patient's will, and the privacy of the patient side can be protected. Further, the touch-cut dial registration information is included in the call disconnect message, and the one-touch dial registration is performed from the doctor side terminal when the call is disconnected. Also, the patient side AV equipment can be operated from the remote control of the doctor side terminal.

The voice control unit 18 includes a handset 4c for a normal telephone, a speaker 4 and a microphone for a videophone.
It has a voice box consisting of 4d. The operation of the patient side terminal configured as described above will be described.

First, registration of a telephone number having a special incoming call attribute is performed as follows. A person who is familiar with the operation of the patient-side terminal installer can use the ten-key pad on the operation unit 5 to enter, for example, “#”.
Enter “*” and “04447777111”. This input is judged as a special number registration command by the CPU 15a of the overall control unit, and is recorded in the number registration table prepared on the E ² PROM 15h, for example, as shown in FIG. The telephone number thus registered has a special incoming call attribute and is used as follows. In this registration, the installer registers the telephone number of the hospital when the patient side terminal is installed in the patient's house, and for security reasons, it cannot be accessed through the communication line.

The operation when a call is received from the other party of the telephone number registered as described above will be described with reference to the flowchart of the automatic response operation at the time of call reception in FIG. When a call is made from the hospital side to the patient side, the caller number is included in the call setup message sent to the called side via the D-CH of the ISDN line and sent as shown in FIG.

When the terminal on the patient side detects an incoming call (S-
1) From the call setup message, caller number "0
"4477771111" is taken out (S-2), and it is checked whether the number is registered in the special number registration table (S-3). If the collated results match, the incoming call is immediately answered to connect the B-CH (S-4), and the image / voice path is established (S-5). The image input on the patient side is masked for a certain period immediately after the path is set, and the image on the patient side is not transmitted to the doctor side. This allows the patient to answer the videophone without being panicked while in bed or the like.
This image input mask can be released by a doctor's operation even before a certain period of time when the patient's approval is obtained by voice conversation, and when the patient's side is unresponsive due to unconsciousness, etc. Since the image is input later, the hospital can know the condition of the patient and take appropriate measures.

If the collation results do not match, it is regarded as a normal incoming call and the ringer is activated (S-6). Next, when the call is disconnected at the time of communication with the telephone number partner registered in the special number registration table, registration of the Watt dial of the patient side terminal is performed as follows.

In the communication via the ISDN network, FIG.
As shown in, information on the other party can be included in the call disconnect message using the D-CH. Therefore,
Information for one-touch dial registration is placed in the call disconnect message and transmitted. On the hospital side, in a conversation during home care using a videophone, a registration request for a one-touch dial on the patient side, for example, a one-touch call to send out the telephone number of the patient's close friend, etc., who often wants to call and that number Know the dial key number and. Next, on the hospital side, this one-touch dial number is entered and registered on the hospital side terminal. When disconnecting the call, the hospital side terminal sends this one-touch dial number and the telephone number in the user-user information section of the call disconnect message.

Since the patient side terminal knows whether or not the other party of the call currently in progress has a special incoming call attribute, when the call disconnection message is received, its user-user information section is checked and Find out if it contains information for one-touch dial registration. Then, when it is detected that the information is included, the one-touch dial key number "1" and the telephone number designated by the one-touch key in the one-touch dial number column of the relevant telephone number in the special number registration table of FIG. 546561 ”is registered. According to this method, the one-touch dial can be registered in the patient side terminal without performing any registration operation on the patient side.

The above is the description of the embodiment in which the doctor side terminal controls the patient side terminal using the call control message. Next, an embodiment in which the patient side is controlled from the doctor side terminal by using the user-user information transmission function using the D-CH separately from the call control message to the patient side terminal communicating through the ISDN line explain.

When performing home care using a telemedicine system, home AV equipment is often used, such as rehabilitation using a VTR at the patient's home.
There is a problem that home AV equipment is difficult to operate. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 10, the doctor side terminal 1 is provided with the remote control receiving section 9 and the patient side terminal is provided with the remote control radiating section 12, and communication connection is established between both terminals via an ISDN line. Remote control infrared light is emitted from the remote control 10 attached to the relevant home AV device toward the remote control receiver 9 of the doctor side terminal. Light receiving part 9
Is converted into an electric signal, converted into low-speed digital data, multiplexed with a videophone signal, and transmitted to the patient side terminal via the ISDN line. That is, the infrared light from the remote controller 10 is photoelectrically converted by the photodiode 9b in the light receiving unit 9, and the demodulation unit
After being demodulated by 9a, the light receiving register 15 as a digital signal
Stored in e '. When the light receiving register 15e receives the digital signal, it raises the interrupt IRQ to the CPU 15a in the overall control unit 15. The CPU 15a reads the data DATA of the light receiving register by this interrupt IRQ and sends it to the ISDN line via the communication control unit 16.

The terminal 2 on the patient side receives this, and the remote control radiating unit 12 converts it to light and radiates it. That is, the remote control signal received by the patient side terminal 2 via the ISDN line is read into the CPU 15a via the communication control unit 16. CPU 1
5a writes the read data into the light emitting register 15e ". The data written in the light emitting register is received by the remote controller 10 after being modulated by the modulator 12a in the light emitting unit 12 and electro-electrically converted by the light emitting diode 12b. When the AV equipment at the patient's house is installed so as to face the remote control radiation section of the patient side medical terminal, it can be operated by this remote control signal.

With the above configuration, a remote control driven VTR
It becomes possible for the doctor side to remotely operate the home AV device on the patient side such as. Next, using the user-user information transmission function using the D-CH for the patient side terminal communicating through the ISDN line, the required control data is sent from the doctor side terminal in a packet separate from voice and image communication. An embodiment will be described below which is configured to transmit and change the initial setting data of the patient side terminal, and to restart the patient side terminal using the changed initial setting data.

FIG. 11 is a block diagram of an embodiment in which the initial setting data of the patient side terminal and the auxiliary equipment can be reset from the doctor side terminal. The functions in the patient-side adapter 4 in the figure are described in the form of tasks executed mainly by the CPU of the overall control unit according to a program built in the patient-side adapter 4.

In FIG. 11, the doctor side terminal 1 changes the telephone number for one-touch dialing of the patient side terminal 2, the internal connection and disconnection operation of the vital sensor 11, and the videophone 7.
12 and the vital sensor 11 are reset by the doctor via the personal computer 8 while the personal computer 8 of the doctor side terminal 1 and the patient side adapter 4 are connected, as shown in FIG. Enter data that includes the number, changed data name, changed data value, presence / absence of vital sensor reset, presence / absence of videophone reset, and presence / absence of internal processing reset.

Specifically, when the telephone number of the one-touch dial is changed, as shown in FIG. 13A, the number of data items 1, the changed data name is the doctor's calling number, and the changed data value 1234, the vital sensor reset. No, without videophone reset, with internal processing reset data,
When the vital sensor is internally connected, as shown in FIG. 13B, the number of data items 1, the changed data name is the vital sensor, the changed data value is connected, the vital sensor is not reset, the videophone is not reset, and the internal processing is performed. When data with reset is applied, or when the vital sensor is internally disconnected, as shown in FIG. 13C, the number of data items 1, the changed data name is the vital sensor, the data value to be changed is disconnected, and the vital sensor is not reset. When the data including the TV telephone reset and the internal processing reset is not included, and when the vital sensor is reset, as shown in FIG. 13D, the number of data items is 0, the changed data name is the vital sensor, and the changed data value is 0. Data consisting of vital sensor reset, TV phone reset, internal processing reset, and video phone reset , As shown in FIG. 13 (E), the number of data items is 0, the changed data name is a TV phone, the data value to be changed is 0, data with no vital sensor reset, TV phone reset, and internal processing reset Send via 8.

Then, these data are transmitted to the ISDN network 14
B-CH is sent to the patient-side adapter 4 as user-user information via the connected D-CH. The patient side adapter 4 receives the reset information including the above data via the D-CH in step 1 of the flowchart of FIG. That is, it receives reset information from the control task 21 from another station, sends it to the factor check task 22 in step 2, analyzes the reset information, rewrites the initial setting data, and notifies the own station terminal control task 23 of the reset existence. When receiving the reset notification from the factor check task 22, the own station terminal control task 23 notifies each task of the reset.

At the time of rewriting the initial setting data, the process proceeds to step 3, and the rewriting of the initial setting data on the E ² PROM (15h in FIG. 5) of the overall control unit (change of doctor calling number, data value 1234 to be changed, vital sensor Internal connection and internal disconnection of the vital sensor are performed), and the process proceeds to step 4. Even if the initial setting data is not rewritten in step 2, the process proceeds to step 4.

In step 4, the factor check task 22
When the local terminal control task 23 receives a vital sensor reset notification from the device, the process proceeds to step 5 to request the vital sensor operation task 28 to reset the vital sensor, and the vital sensor operation task 28 resets the vital sensor 8. Notice. The vital sensor 8 receives this and resets, and proceeds to step 6.

In step 4, the factor check task 22
Even when the own station terminal control task 23 does not receive the vital sensor reset notification from, the process proceeds to step 6. Step 6
When the local terminal control task 23 receives the TV phone reset notification from the factor check task 22, the process proceeds to step 7 and the camera operation task 27 is notified of the camera reset. The camera of the videophone 6 receives it and resets, and proceeds to step 8.

In step 6, the factor check task 22
Even when the local station terminal control task 23 does not receive the TV phone reset notification from, the process proceeds to step 8. In step 8,
When the local terminal control task 23 receives the internal process reset notification from the factor check task 22, the internal process control task 24 is notified of the reset in step 9, the internal process is started, and the rewritten initial The setting data is set in a predetermined task, and the process returns to step 1.

In step 8, the factor check task 22
Even when the own station terminal control task 23 does not receive the internal processing reset notification from, the procedure returns to step 1. If the doctor's seat change time is set, a timer will be installed in the patient's agputer, and at this time, only the doctor's phone call number in the initial setting data will be automatically rewritten on the patient's terminal to control the internal processing. If the configuration is such that only the restart is performed, it is not necessary to reset the setting from the doctor side.

Further, during measurement of the vital sensor 11 from the doctor side terminal, when the count value is significantly different from the normal value or the vital sensor control abnormality occurs, it becomes necessary to re-measure. If the reset information including the data shown in FIG. 13D described above is transmitted to the patient side, the re-measurement by the vital sensor can be performed by the remote operation from the doctor side.

The patient side terminal is an ISDN whose public network is
Since it is connected to the network, the above-mentioned reset operation and change of initial setting data on the patient side terminal are
If it can be freely performed by the DN network subscriber, the privacy of the patient may be invaded. In order to prevent this, the above operation can be performed only during the call connection with the above-mentioned registered special number, as in the first embodiment of the present invention.
