Next, when a page turning command is instructed from the document data browsing terminal 1 on the hospital side and the page turning command signal generated by the control signal generating unit 35 is sent to the automatic document turning device 14 via a communication line, the medical record 14b is automatically beaten. The content of the beaten medical chart 14c is photographed by the television camera 15b, encoded by the moving image encoding unit 41, for example, MPEG, and transmitted to the hospital side via the communication line. On the hospital side, the received moving image coding information is decoded by the moving image decoding unit 31 and displayed on the moving image display unit 32.
[0021]
A doctor or the like of a hospital sends a page turning command while viewing the moving image of the medical chart displayed on the moving image display unit 32, and performs a rough survey of the document data. In the process, when a moving image of the chart desired by the user is detected, the page turning is stopped at that time, and a still image acquisition command unit 34 issues a still image acquisition command as necessary. Then, the time information acquisition unit 31 acquires the latest decoded moving image time information from the moving image decoding unit 31. The acquired time information is sent to the still image acquisition unit 43 on the warehouse side via a communication line. The still image acquisition unit 43 takes out a still image having a designated time from the moving image storage unit 42 and transfers it to the still image encoding unit 44. The still image encoding unit 44 performs encoding such as JPEG on the received still image, and transmits the encoded still image to the hospital via the communication line. The hospital side decodes the received still image coding information by the still image decoding unit 38 and displays it on the still image display unit 39. Since the still image is encoded image information with little image quality degradation due to encoding, for example, a photograph of an affected area of an affected area attached to a medical chart can be seen in detail.
[0022]
When viewing the still image, a doctor or the like can move the TV camera 15b two-dimensionally in the x and y directions from the camera control command unit 36 and aim the center of the TV camera at an arbitrary position on the chart 14c. .
