Description

Otoscope using smartphone, and specular structure used therein {OTOSCOPE USING A SMARTPHONE AND THE SPECULAR ATTACHMENT}

The present invention relates to an otoscope (Otoscope) used to check whether there is an abnormality in the interior of the patient's body in the otolaryngology, more specifically the body of the patient's ear, nose, mouth, etc. using the camera and LED light source of the smartphone Improved smart phone to play a role as a high-performance otoscope at low cost because it can take a picture of abnormal condition and extend it to various functions through linking with storage, mirror, transmission and other system through smart phone. It relates to an otoscope and specular structure used therein.

In general, in the form of a conventional otoscope to examine the ear, the specular part mounted on the otoscope body in which the battery is embedded is inserted into the patient's ear, and the doctor directly views the inner ear through the metering window with a magnifying glass. have.

Such a conventional otoscope has a built-in light bulb that can send a bright light into the ear, it is possible to brighten the ear. However, such a conventional otoscope can not image the affected area, there is a disadvantage that only one doctor can see the affected area.

In order to solve such a problem, the conventional electronic otoscope has been developed. Such a conventional electronic otoscope is able to inform the patient the shape of the affected area not known by the optical otoscope that can only be known by the doctor to satisfy the patient's right to know has a convenient effect.

The conventional electronic otoscope has a form in which a CCD camera is mounted at the end of a speculum inserted into the ear and the ear can be inspected by integrally connecting an electric wire to the monitor. Therefore, in the conventional electronic otoscope, a power line for implementing the same is connected to the inspection apparatus main body for a long time, causing inconvenience in use, which causes problems such as large equipment and expensive equipment problems. have.

Various techniques related to such conventional braille otoscope have been proposed.

For example, the Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 2009-0008922 has proposed a "transparent spectroscopic for electronic otoscope", such a conventional technique is to use a transparent material to make the body of Specular (Specular), the light shielding layer inside After applying the concave lens, a concave lens was installed as a wide-angle filter at the end of the specular. Therefore, such a conventional technique can easily grasp the state of the ear by enlarging the illuminated area in the electronic otoscope and widening the observation range. However, such a conventional technique still has a problem of using an expensive electronic otoscope.

As another conventional technology, "portable electronic otoscope" of Korean Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2010-0117269 has been proposed.

The conventional electronic otoscope has a focus driving device including a lens to display a clear and large image in the specular in the ear, a light emitting unit equipped with a light LED for sending light in the ear, and an image in the ear. CCD mounting unit, display unit for displaying the image captured by the CCD on the screen, memory unit for storing the image captured on the CCD, and a power supply unit for supplying power in one device, so that it can be used relatively conveniently and conveniently. It is composed.

In addition, a reel case for accommodating the power line connected to the CCD is mounted inside the case, and has a function of being automatically retracted when stored out of use for a long time.

However, such a conventional technology is still manufactured separately from an otoscope electronic device, and it is still small, so it is still expensive and functions related to an external device such as a function of immediately transmitting an image of an affected part to the outside are still available. There is a problem that is significantly reduced.

For example, if a doctor looks at a patient in a low-traffic area and wants to send the results to outside and seek advice from other specialists, the image of the affected area cannot be immediately sent out. However, since the transmission to the outside after storing in a separate computer or hardware takes a long time for the accurate medical treatment of the patient, there is a problem in that it is inconvenient to operate the device.

In addition, another conventional technology has been proposed a "camera replacement wireless laryngoscope" of the Republic of Korea Utility Model No. 2011-0002725.

This conventional technology improves the inconvenience and low efficiency of using a wired endoscope by eliminating the optical cable and the camera cable by wirelessly existing optical wired endoscope, and also by attaching a micro camera module directly to the endoscope, The image quality deterioration caused by using the camera adapter can be reduced, and a heating wire can be installed in front of the lens protection cover to prevent the occurrence of frost on the lens, thereby improving the efficiency of patient care. Therefore, such a conventional technology replaces the foot switch used for still image shooting of the endoscope with a push switch that can be operated simply with a finger, such as missed stop timing, angle of view change, and focus change caused by posture instability. The side effects can be minimized, and a simple stroboscopic function can be realized by using its own electronic circuit, and a socket type adapter can be installed in the front of the transmission body to be replaced with a compatible non-endoscope and endoscope camera unit. The burden of having an endoscope separately can be reduced.

However, such a conventional technique can still only store and view the affected image, but transmission to an external device and linkage with other systems have limited or impossible problems.

An object of the present invention is to solve the above conventional problems, by using the camera and the LED light source of the smartphone that can take a picture of a high-pixel images of the body, such as the ear, nose, mouth of the patient, This can be easily and easily used by doctors by expanding the performance of otoscope with various functions through easy wired and wireless connection with other external systems, as well as by using an improved smartphone to enable accurate and prompt medical treatment of patients. To provide a diameter and the specular structure used therein.
