As a method of editing video information, for example, if there is a plurality of pieces of video information, a layout representing the position, size, etc. of the video on the playback screen of a monitor or the like is set. As a method of editing medical information, for example, a reproduction form for reproducing medical information is set.

When medical information is played back as video, a layout is set to represent the position, size, etc. of the video on the monitor. Furthermore, when the medical information is reproduced as an image, for example, if the medical information is blood pressure, it is set whether the numerical value of the blood pressure is reproduced as characters or as a graph.

Also, if the medical information is the voice of the surgeon, it is set whether to reproduce it as voice or convert it to text before reproducing it. If the medical information is an alarm sound, it is set whether to reproduce it as a sound or convert the meaning of the alarm into characters and reproduce it.

For example, referring to FIG. 3, video information extracted corresponding to each trigger condition will be described. In FIG. 3, it is assumed that trigger conditions 1 to 3 are satisfied during the medical period from the start to the end of the medical practice.

As for the storage period, in the trigger condition 1, the storage period 1 is set from x1 hours before the predetermined time before the timing when the trigger condition 1 is satisfied to y1 hours after the predetermined time after the timing when the trigger condition 1 is satisfied. ing. In the trigger condition 2, the storage period 2 is set from when the trigger condition 2 is satisfied until when it is no longer satisfied.

In the trigger condition 3, the storage period 3 is set from x3 hours before the timing when the trigger condition 3 is satisfied to y3 hours after the timing when the trigger condition 3 is satisfied.

As for the types of video information to be stored, video information A1, B1, C1, and E1 are set in storage period 1 under trigger condition 1 . In trigger condition 2, video information B2, D2, and E2 are set in storage period 2. FIG. In trigger condition 3, video information A3, C3, D3, and E3 are set in storage period 3. FIG. Although five types of video information A to E are illustrated in FIG. 3, the number of types of video information is not limited to five.
