DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Preferred embodiments of the inspection apparatus according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an inspection apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.
, An identification information input unit 1 for inputting identification information (ID information) of each subject, and a subject detection unit 2 for detecting replacement of the subject and outputting the subject detection information And an inspection unit 3 that performs a predetermined inspection of the subject.

The inspection unit 3 receives the ID from the identification information input unit 1
A subject information input unit 4 for taking in information and subject detection information from the subject detection unit 2, and a test start function 5 for outputting start information for designating start of a test by the test unit 3 A test execution unit 7 for performing a predetermined test of the subject, a warning function 8 for issuing a warning to the operator when the replacement of the subject is detected, and a subject information input unit 4. Although the captured subject detection information indicates the replacement of the subject,
A new subject determining unit 6 that controls a warning function 8 so as to issue a warning to an operator when start information is input when new ID information is not input.

The identification information input unit 1 is provided with, for example, the I
It comprises an ID card reader for reading the ID information from the ID card in which the D information is recorded, and / or a keyboard (or mouse or the like) manually operated by an operator.

The inspected person detecting section 2 irradiates the inspecting section 3 and the periphery of the inspecting section 3 with, for example, infrared rays, and detects an exchange of the inspected person when the infrared rays are cut off (for example, a pyroelectric type sensor). Infrared sensor).

The person to be inspected detector 2 is not limited to an infrared sensor, but may be an ultrasonic sensor, an optical sensor (visible light), a magnetic sensor, a radiant heat sensor for detecting radiant heat of a human body, or the like. You may.

Further, the inspected person detecting section 2 judges that the inspected person has been replaced when a predetermined time has elapsed from the start of the inspection, and outputs a detected person detection information. In the case where the bed is provided in the unit 3, the change of the subject is detected based on the weight applied to the couch by utilizing the fact that the subject rises from the couch after the examination and the weight applied to the couch is reduced. When an electrocardiograph is provided in the sensor or the inspection unit 3, the noise generated when the electrocardiogram electrode attached to the subject is removed is used to replace the subject based on the noise. May be configured by a sensor or the like that detects

The warning function 8 is, for example, a liquid crystal display unit, and when a change of the subject is detected, a warning message is displayed in characters to call attention to the operator.

The warning function 8 may be configured to turn on or off a light emitting means such as a light emitting diode or a halogen lamp, or a means for generating a sound output such as a warning buzzer or a voice message. You may comprise.

Next, the operation of the inspection apparatus having the above-described configuration according to the embodiment will be described. The operation of this inspection apparatus is as shown in the flowchart of FIG. This flowchart starts when the main power supply of the inspection apparatus is turned on, and the operator operates the identification information input unit 1 to input the ID information of the subject, and proceeds to step S1.

In step S1, the inspected person detecting section 2 detects whether or not the inspected person is present in the inspecting section 3, and supplies the inspected person detection information to the inspected person information input section 4 of the inspecting section 3. And proceed to step S2. When the subject detection information is supplied, the subject information input unit 4 captures the information and supplies it to the new subject determination unit 6.

In step S2, the subject information input unit 4
Captures the ID information of the subject input from the operator when performing the test, and proceeds to step S3. When the operator inputs the ID information of the subject and determines that the subject can be tested, the operator uses the test start function 5 to specify the start of the test. As a result, start information is supplied from the examination start function 5 to the new subject determination unit 6. In step S3, the new subject determination unit 6
It is determined whether or not the start information from the test start function 5 has been supplied. If No, the step S3 is repeatedly executed until the start information is supplied. If Yes, the process proceeds to Step S4.

In step S4, the new subject determination unit 6 that has taken in the start information determines whether the subject detection information taken in in step S1 indicates replacement of the subject. And if No, step S
The process proceeds to step S8, and in the case of Yes, the process proceeds to step S5.

If No is determined in step S4, if the subject detection information does not indicate the replacement of the subject, in step S8, the new subject determining unit 6 proceeds to step S8. The inspection execution unit 7 is controlled so as to start the inspection, and all the routines in the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 are completed.

On the other hand, if Yes is determined in step S4, if the subject detection information indicates that the subject is to be replaced, in step S5, the new subject determination unit 6 determines in step S2 It is determined whether or not the ID information of the subject acquired in step is new.

The determination of the ID information is performed by comparing the ID information fetched by the new subject judging unit 6 in step S2 with the previously fetched ID information.

In step S4, the replacement of the inspected person is detected, and the fact that the two ID information do not match means that the inspected person is replaced by the new inspected person, and the operator checks the ID of the new inspected person. Indicates that information has been entered. For this reason, when it is detected that the two pieces of ID information do not match (when it is determined as No in step S5), the new subject determination unit 6 proceeds to step S8, and performs the inspection of the subject as it is. The inspection execution unit 7 is controlled so as to start, and the entire routine of the flowchart shown in FIG. 2 ends.

Conversely, if the two pieces of ID information match in spite of the fact that the replacement of the subject is detected in step S4 (if Yes is determined in step S5), the new subject is inspected. The person determination unit 6 proceeds to step S6.

The fact that the two pieces of ID information coincide with each other despite the fact that the replacement of the subject is detected in step S4 means that the operator may have forgotten to input the new subject ID information. Is larger. For this reason, the new subject-examiner determination unit 6 proceeds to step S6 when it is determined that the two pieces of ID information coincide with each other. If there is, input the ID information. "And display the warning function 8 so as to display a warning message, and then go to step S7.

In step S7, a new subject determination unit 6
Is whether the test start function was operated, that is,
In spite of displaying the warning message, it is determined whether or not start information for specifying the start of the inspection has been supplied.
In this case, the process returns to step S1, and the above-described steps S1 to S7 are repeatedly executed.
If the determination is Yes in step S7, that is, if the start information for designating the start of the examination is supplied despite the warning message being displayed, for example, the same person once inspects the examination section 3 once. The new subject-to-be-inspected determining unit 6 proceeds to step S8 to control the examination performing unit 7 to start the examination of the subject as it is, since it indicates that the user has left and returned to the examination again. All routines in the flowchart shown in FIG.

As is apparent from the above description, in the inspection apparatus according to the embodiment of the present invention, the replacement of the inspected person is detected by the inspected person detecting unit 2, and further, the identification information input unit 1 is used. When new ID information is not input, a warning is issued to the operator via the warning function 8. For this reason, even when the operator forgets to input the ID information of the new subject when the subject is replaced, the operator can be alerted by the warning. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the inconvenience that the inspection data of the new inspected person is processed as the inspection data of the previous inspected person in the inspection unit 3 even though the inspected person is replaced. It is possible to prevent a doctor's misdiagnosis that may occur in the above.

Finally, the description of the above-described embodiment is merely an example of the present invention. In addition, various changes may be made according to the design and the like without departing from the technical idea of the present invention. Of course, it is possible.

[0032]

The inspection apparatus according to the present invention prevents the inconvenience that new inspection data of an inspected person is processed as inspection data of a previous inspected person when the inspected person is replaced. Can be. For this reason, it is possible to perform an accurate diagnosis based on the test data.
