Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of the present invention, and is a schematic configuration diagram of a system for printing a diagnostic result of an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus as a medical diagnostic apparatus on code information.

In FIG. 1, an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1 as a medical diagnostic apparatus is connected with a multimedia information recorder 2 for dot-coding video output data obtained by the ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus 1. There is. The data coded by the multimedia information recording machine 2 is supplied to the reel sticker printing machine 3.

In the reel seal printing machine 3, a two-dimensional data code (dot code) 4 is printed on the reel seal 5 based on the above data. Then, the reel seal 5 is attached to the medical chart 6 in which various medical information is described.

The details of the multimedia information recording machine 2 and the reel sticker printing machine 3 are described in Japanese Patent Application No. Hei 5-260464, which is a prior application by the applicant of the present invention, and therefore the description thereof is omitted here. To do.

Now, the concept of the two-dimensional data code in the embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 and 3. As the two-dimensional data code, for example, the dot code 4 as described in Japanese Patent Application No. 5-260464 filed earlier by the applicant of the present application can be used. In this dot code 4 data format, one block 1
Reference numeral 1 includes a marker 12, a block address 13, address error detection / correction data 14, and a data area 15 into which data such as voice and image is actually stored.

The marker 12 uses a pattern that does not normally appear in recording modulation. The address data 13 is data representing the position of the block 11, and the error detection / correction data 14 is used for error determination of these addresses.

The recorded data in such a format is
The data of "1" and "0" is printed, for example, like "1" with black dots and "0" without black dots, similar to a barcode. Hereinafter, such recording data will be referred to as a data code.

More specifically, as shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the dot code 4 has a configuration in which a plurality of blocks 11 each composed of a plurality of dots arranged according to the content of the data are arranged. Has become. That is, the blocks 11 that are data for each predetermined unit are collectively arranged.
One block 11 is composed of a marker 12, a block address 13 and a data area 15.

Each block 11 constituting the dot code 4
Are arranged two-dimensionally, and a block address 13 is added to each. The block address 13 has an address corresponding to the X address and the Y address.

For example, in FIG. 3A, the upper left block is (X address, Y address) = (1,1). On the other hand, the block address of the block on the right is (2, 1), and in the same manner, the X address incremented to the right and the Y address incremented to the bottom are added. The block address 13 is added to all the blocks 11 in the form of being executed.

Here, the lowermost marker and the rightmost marker are dummy markers 16. That is, the block 11 for a certain marker 12 is the data diagonally below to the right surrounded by the four markers 12 including it, and the markers at the bottom and right are the second from the bottom and the second from the right. A dummy marker 16 which is an auxiliary marker arranged to define a block for the marker.

Next, the contents of the block 11 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3B, the block address 13 and the error detection code 1 of the block address are provided between the marker 12 of the block 11 and the lower marker.
4 is added. Similarly, the block address 13 and its error detection code 14 are added between the marker 12 and the right marker. Thus, the block address 13 is arranged on the left side and the upper side of the data area 15, and the marker 12 is arranged at the upper left corner thereof.

Although the block address 13 is recorded in two locations in one block, it may be recorded in one location. However, by recording at two locations, even if noise is superimposed on one of the block addresses and an error occurs, it can be reliably detected by detecting the other address.
It is preferable to record at two locations.

By adopting the two-dimensional block division method as described above, four adjacent markers are detected on the pen-type reader 7 side, and the markers are equally divided by the number of dots for normalization. Therefore, enlargement, reduction,
There is an advantage that it is strong against deformation and the like, and strong against camera shake and the like.

As for the data dots 17 in the data area 20, for example, one dot has a size of several tens of μm. This can be up to several μm level depending on the application, but generally 40 μm or 2
It is set to 0 μm or 80 μm. The data area 15 is
For example, the size is 64 × 64 dots.

These can be freely expanded or reduced to the extent that the error due to the equal division can be absorbed. The marker 12 has a function as a position index, and has a size that is not included in the modulated data, for example, a circular shape, and is, for example, 7 dots or more, or 7 × 7 dots with respect to the data dot 17. A circular black marker having a diameter is used. Further, the block address 13 and its error detection data 14 are also composed of the same dots as the data dots 17.

Next, the reel seal 5 will be described.
The data to which the marker 12 is added as described above is
It is sent to the reel seal printing machine 3 and printed on the reel seal 5 as shown in FIGS. 4 (a) and 4 (b). In this case, on the reel seal 5, a blank portion 5 is formed so that characters and the like can be written in addition to the printing of the dot code 4.
