Detailed Description
In general, there is a third party who takes out reusable parts from a single-use endoscope after 1 use and remanufactures the endoscope. Endoscopes remanufactured by an improper third party with a malicious intent may cause defects due to inadequate cleaning, sterilization, or testing.
According to the embodiments described below, in a single-use endoscope, an authentication method of an endoscope, an endoscope observation device, and a recording medium that can prevent improper reuse can be provided.
Hereinafter, embodiments will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
The drawings according to the embodiments are schematic drawings, and the relationship between the thickness and the width of each part, the ratio of the thickness and the relative angle of each part, and the like are different from those of the actual examples. The drawings also include portions having different dimensional relationships or ratios from each other.
Fig. 1 is an overall configuration diagram showing an example of the overall configuration of an endoscope system according to an embodiment.
As shown in fig. 1, the endoscope system 1 includes an endoscope 2, a light source device 3, a video processor 4, and a display device 5 as main components. The endoscope 2 is a single-use endoscope, and at least a part of the components are used once and at least a part of the components are used a plurality of times.
The endoscope 2 includes an elongated insertion portion 11 to be inserted into an observation target portion of a subject, an operation portion 12 connected to a base end portion of the insertion portion 11, a universal cable 13 extending from a side surface of the operation portion 12, and a connector portion 14 provided at an extension end portion of the universal cable 13. The connector portion 14 is configured to have a light source connector, a cable extending from a side portion of the light source connector, and an electrical connector disposed at an extending end of the cable. The light source connector of the connector portion 14 is detachably connected to the light source device 3. The electrical connector of the connector portion 14 is detachably connected to the video processor 4.
The insertion portion 11 has a distal end portion 21 on the distal end side, and a bendable portion 22 is provided to connect to the proximal end portion of the distal end portion 21. A long and flexible tube portion 23 formed of a soft tubular member is connected to the base end portion of the bent portion 22. An imaging unit 30 (see fig. 2) for acquiring image information of the subject is provided at the distal end portion 21.
The operation unit 12 is configured to have an operation unit main body 20 that constitutes an operation grip portion. An angle knob for bending the bending portion 22 of the insertion portion 11 is rotatably disposed in the operation portion main body 20, and a suction button, an air/water supply button, switches for various endoscope functions, and the like are provided.
The light source device 3 is a device that supplies illumination light to a light guide (not shown) provided in the endoscope 2. That is, the universal cord 13, the operation unit 12, and the insertion unit 11 of the endoscope 2 of the present embodiment are provided with a light guide, and the light source device 3 supplies illumination light to an illumination optical system constituting an illumination window of the distal end portion 21 via the light guide. The illumination light diverges and irradiates the examined region through an illumination optical system.
The video processor 4 performs image processing on the image data captured by the endoscope 2, generates an image signal, and outputs the generated image signal to the display device 5. The display device 5 displays an image corresponding to the image signal generated by the video processor 4.
The video processor 4 controls the entire endoscope system 1. For example, the video processor 4 performs control to switch the illumination light emitted from the light source device 3 or to switch the imaging mode of the endoscope 2. As will be described later, the video processor 4 performs an authentication process to determine whether or not the endoscope 2 is improperly manufactured.
Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of a main part of the endoscope system. Details of each component of the endoscope system 1 and paths of electrical signals in the endoscope system 1 will be described with reference to fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the distal end portion 21 of the endoscope 2 includes an imaging unit 30. The imaging unit 30 includes a timing generation unit 31, an imaging element 32, and a 1 st memory 33. The connector 14 of the endoscope 2 is provided with a 2 nd memory 34. The endoscope 2 is connected to a video processor 4 as an endoscope observation device via a connector 14.
The video processor 4 includes an image signal processing unit 41, a pulse signal generating unit 42, a storage unit 43, and a control unit 44.
The timing generation unit 31 generates a drive signal including a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and the like based on the reference clock signal input from the pulse signal generation unit 42, and outputs the drive signal to the image pickup element 32.
The image pickup device 32 is an image sensor such as a CCD or CMOS, picks up an optical image formed by the objective optical system based on the drive signal generated by the timing generation unit 31, and outputs the picked-up image signal to the image signal processing unit 41 of the video processor 4.
The 1 st memory 33 is a memory capable of writing data. The 1 st memory 33 is constituted by, for example, a flash memory or an EEPROM, and holds 1 st identification information. The 1 st memory 33 is provided in the image pickup unit 30 as a member that is used a plurality of times. The 1 st memory 33 is provided in the imaging unit 30, but not limited to this, and may be provided in other components that are used a plurality of times, for example, a substrate disposed in the operation unit 12. A sensor such as a temperature sensor or an inertial sensor may be provided, and the 1 st memory 33 may be provided in a circuit to which the sensor is connected.
On the other hand, the 2 nd memory 34 is a memory in which data cannot be rewritten. The 2 nd memory 34 is constituted by, for example, a mask ROM or a one-time programmable ROM, and holds 2 nd identification information. The 2 nd memory 34 is provided in the connector 14 as a single-use component. The 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information may be, for example, a combination of a plurality of alphanumerics as long as the control unit 44 can identify the individual of each component of the endoscope 2 in which they are incorporated.
When manufacturing the endoscope 2, the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33 is the same information as the 2 nd identification information stored in the 2 nd memory 34. The 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information are preferably encrypted and stored in the 1 st memory 33 and the 2 nd memory 34, respectively.
The image signal processing unit 41 performs predetermined image processing, such as white balance adjustment processing, gain adjustment processing, and gamma correction processing, on the image signal acquired by the image pickup element 32. The image signal processing unit 41 outputs an image signal generated by predetermined image processing to the display device 5.
The pulse signal generation unit 42 generates a reference clock signal serving as a reference for the operation of each component of the imaging unit 30, and outputs the reference clock signal to the timing generation unit 31.
The storage unit 43 stores programs for executing various functions related to the endoscope system 1. The storage unit 43 stores various information about the endoscope system 1, data in processing, and the like.
The control unit 44 is configured as a processor having hardware. The control unit 44 is configured as, for example, an ASIC (application specific integrated circuit) including a CPU (central processing unit) or the like, or an FPGA (field programmable gate array). The control unit 44 reads and executes a processing program from the storage unit 43 to realize various functions. However, at least a part of the control unit 44 may be configured as a dedicated electronic circuit.
The control unit 44 integrally controls the respective units constituting the endoscope system 1. When the endoscope 2 is connected to the video processor 4, the control section 44 reads out the 1 st identification information from the 1 st memory 33. When the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33, the control unit 44 prohibits the use of the endoscope 2.
When the 1 st identification information is stored in the 1 st memory 33, the control unit 44 reads out the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34. Next, the control unit 44 compares (compares) the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information, and determines whether or not the pieces of identification information match. When the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match, the control unit 44 prohibits the use of the endoscope 2.
In this way, when the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33 or when the 1 st identification information does not match the 2 nd identification information, the control unit 44 performs the 1 st process of warning the use of the endoscope 2. Specifically, the control unit 44 causes the display device 5 to display a warning message, or causes the video processor 4 or the display device 5 to emit a warning sound.
On the other hand, when the 1 st identification information matches the 2 nd identification information, the control unit 44 allows the endoscope 2 to be used. After reading the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34, the control unit 44 performs the 2 nd process of changing the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33. Specifically, the control unit 44 performs processing of deleting the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33 or rewriting the 1 st identification information to other information (or adding other information to the 1 st identification information).
In this way, when the endoscope 2 is used 1 time, the 1 st identification information disposed in the 1 st memory 33 of the image pickup unit 30 is changed. When a malicious improper third party takes out the imaging unit 30 from the endoscope 2 discarded after 1 use and remanufactures the endoscope, the 1 st identification information of the 1 st memory 33 is deleted or the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information are not identical.
Therefore, when the improperly manufactured endoscope is connected to the video processor 4, the 1 st identification information cannot be read from the 1 st memory 33 or the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match, and the use of the improperly manufactured endoscope can be prohibited.
On the other hand, in the case of properly performing remanufacturing, the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information may be matched. Specifically, the 1 st identification information that matches the 2 nd identification information may be added to the 1 st memory of the new imaging unit 30 prepared for remanufacturing with reference to the 2 nd identification information at the time of remanufacturing. Thus, the endoscope 2 manufactured properly is not prohibited from being used because the 1 st identification information matches the 2 nd identification information.
In the present embodiment, the video processor 4 reads the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information from the 1 st memory 33 and the 2 nd memory 34 of the endoscope 2, and determines whether or not the endoscope 2 is improperly manufactured, but is not limited thereto.
Next, the operation of the endoscope system 1 configured as described above will be described.
Fig. 3 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the authentication process of the endoscope. The authentication process of the endoscope shown in fig. 3 is started when the endoscope 2 is connected to the video processor 4.
First, when the endoscope 2 is connected to the video processor 4, the control section 44 reads out the 1 st identification information from the 1 st memory 33 (S1). Next, the control unit 44 determines whether or not the 1 st identification information is stored in the 1 st memory 33 (S2).
When it is determined that the 1 st identification information is stored in the 1 st memory 33 (yes in S2), the control unit 44 reads out the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34 (S3). On the other hand, when it is determined that the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33 (S2: no), the control unit 44 proceeds to the process of S7.
Next, the control unit 44 compares the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information (comparison processing), and determines whether or not they match (S4). When it is determined that the 1 st identification information matches the 2 nd identification information (S4: yes), the control unit 44 changes the 1 st identification information of the 1 st memory 33 (S5). On the other hand, when it is determined that the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match (S4: no), the control unit 44 proceeds to the process of S7.
When the 1 st identification information of the 1 st memory 33 is changed in the process of S5, the control unit 44 allows the use of the endoscope 2 (S6), and the process proceeds to the process of S8. On the other hand, when it is determined in the process of S2 that the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33 or when it is determined in the process of S4 that the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match, the control unit 44 prohibits the use of the endoscope 2 (S7), and the process proceeds to the process of S8.
Finally, the control unit 44 notifies the result (S8), and ends the process. For example, when the use of the endoscope 2 is permitted, the control unit 44 displays that the endoscope can be used on the display device 5, or shifts to a standby state in which an operation from the endoscope 2 is received.
In addition, for example, when the use of the endoscope 2 is prohibited, the control unit 44 causes the display device 5 to display a warning message or causes the video processor 4 or the display device 5 to emit a warning sound, thereby notifying the user that an improperly remanufactured endoscope is connected to the video processor 4. Alternatively, when the use of the endoscope 2 is prohibited, the control unit 44 turns off the video processor 4.
By the above-described processing, in the case where the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33, or in the case where the 1 st identification information is not identical to the 2 nd identification information although the 1 st identification information is stored in the 1 st memory 33, the use of the endoscope 2 can be stopped. Thus, the endoscope system 1 can prevent an improperly manufactured endoscope, which is manufactured by taking out a reusable component from the single-use endoscope 2 and improperly using the reusable component, from being improperly reused.
As described above, the comparison process is described to determine whether or not the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information match, but the present invention is not limited to this. Specifically, the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information may be compared to determine that the combinations are not improper combinations of each other. For example, any one of the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information may be output when a predetermined arithmetic process is performed using the other as a variable.
Modification 1
Next, modification 1 will be described.
In the above embodiment, the control unit 44 reads the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34, and then changes the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33.
In contrast, in modification 1, when detecting that the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are connected for a predetermined time or longer, the control unit 44 changes the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory.
Fig. 4 is a flowchart for explaining an example of the authentication process of the endoscope according to modification 1. The authentication process of the endoscope shown in fig. 4 is started when the endoscope 2 is connected to the video processor 4. In fig. 4, the same processes as those in fig. 3 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
First, when the endoscope 2 is connected to the video processor 4, the control unit 44 determines whether or not the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are connected for a predetermined time or longer (S11). When it is determined that the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are not connected for a predetermined time or longer (S11: no), the control unit 44 returns to the processing of S11. On the other hand, when it is determined that the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are connected for a predetermined time or longer (S11: yes), the control unit 44 proceeds to the process of S1, and reads the 1 st identification information from the 1 st memory 33. The processing subsequent to the processing of S1 is the same as the processing shown in fig. 3.
Through the above processing, the control unit 44 changes the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory when the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are connected for a predetermined time or longer. That is, when the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 are connected for a predetermined time or longer, the control unit 44 determines that the single-use endoscope 2 is used 1 time, and changes the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33.
In this way, since the 1 st identification information is changed based on the connection for a predetermined time or longer, it is possible to prevent the situation where the connection is naturally released due to insufficient connection between the endoscope 2 and the video processor 4 or the situation where the connection is performed at the test stage before the use of the endoscope 2 from being determined that the endoscope 2 is used 1 time.
Modification 2
Next, modification 2 will be described.
In the above embodiment, the video processor 4 reads out the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information from the 1 st memory 33 and the 2 nd memory 34 of the endoscope 2, and determines whether the endoscope 2 is not improperly remanufactured.
In contrast, in modification 2, a control unit having the same function as the control unit 44 of the video processor 4 is provided in the endoscope 2A (see fig. 5), and when the endoscope 2A is used, the control unit 35 (see fig. 5) provided in the endoscope 2A reads out the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information from the 1 st memory 33 and the 2 nd memory 34, and determines whether or not they are illegally remanufactured.
The use of the endoscope 2A may be when power is supplied from the video processor 4 to the endoscope 2A, or when power is supplied from a battery (not shown) to each part of the endoscope 2A by further incorporating the battery into the endoscope 2A.
Fig. 5 is a block diagram showing an example of the configuration of the main part of the endoscope system according to modification 2. In fig. 5, the same components as those in fig. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.
The endoscope system 1A has an endoscope 2A instead of the endoscope 2 of fig. 2. The endoscope 2A has a connector 14A instead of the connector 14 of fig. 2. The connector 14A is configured by adding a control unit 35 to the connector 14 of fig. 2.
The control unit 35 has the same function as the control unit 44 of the above embodiment. Specifically, when power is supplied to the endoscope 2A, the control unit 35 reads out the 1 st identification information from the 1 st memory 33. When the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33, the control unit 35 prohibits the use of the endoscope 2A.
When the 1 st identification information is stored in the 1 st memory 33, the control unit 35 reads out the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34. Next, the control unit 35 compares (compares) the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information, and determines whether or not the pieces of identification information match. When the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match, the control unit 35 prohibits the use of the endoscope 2A.
When the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33 or when the 1 st identification information and the 2 nd identification information do not match, the control unit 35 performs the 1 st process of warning the use of the endoscope 2A. Specifically, the control unit 35 transmits information indicating that the 1 st identification information is not stored in the 1 st memory 33 or that the 1 st identification information does not match the 2 nd identification information to the control unit 44 of the video processor 4, causes the display device 5 to display a warning message, or causes the video processor 4 or the display device 5 to emit a warning sound.
On the other hand, when the 1 st identification information matches the 2 nd identification information, the control unit 35 allows the endoscope 2A to be used. After reading the 2 nd identification information from the 2 nd memory 34, the control unit 35 performs the 2 nd process of changing the 1 st identification information stored in the 1 st memory 33.
As described above, by providing the control unit 35 in the endoscope 2A, the endoscope 2A can determine whether or not it is not improperly manufactured.
Further, the steps in the flowcharts of the present specification may be changed in order of execution, executed in plural at the same time, or executed in a different order at each execution without violating the nature thereof.
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications, changes, and the like can be made within a scope not changing the gist of the present invention.
