- the index server 30 generates a list by referring to the directory structure of each recording device 16. The timing may be when any of the recording devices 16 has been updated, or when the information providing device 200 requests a list.
- the information providing apparatus 200 searches for a corresponding image file with reference to the list of the index server 30. Then, after specifying the recording device 16 that stores the image file, the image file is read from the recording device 16. This model is effective when the number of recording devices 16 is large.
- the device detection unit 222 determines whether or not the index server 30 is connected. The judgment result is supplied to the search mode instruction section 226. Search mode instruction 2003/011489
- the unit 226 instructs the search unit 204 to search in the search mode corresponding to one of the search models in FIG. 9 or FIG. 10 based on the determination result. For example, when the device detection unit 224 can detect the index overlapper 30, the search mode instruction unit 226 instructs to perform a search using the list of the index server 30. Further, for example, when the device detection unit 224 cannot detect the index server 30, the search mode instruction unit 226 instructs to search by referring to the directory structure of each recording device 16 in order.
- the search request unit 228 requests the third information providing device 200c connected to another network to perform a similar search, and receives the search result.
- the search request section 228 allows image files to be searched across multiple networks.
- the search request unit 228 may hold information specifying the position of the information providing apparatus 200 connected to another network in the network, such as an IP address, for example, or may receive information from the user. Good.
- the result providing unit 206 sends the image file as the search result to any one of the first client 20, the second client 22 and the third client 24 which has requested the search. Further, the result providing unit 206 has a function of converting the image file into a plurality of data formats, and transmits after converting the image file into the data format specified by the client identification unit 220.
- the client identification unit 220 identifies the type of the client that has requested the search to the search request receiving unit 202 and instructs the result providing unit 206 on the data format according to the client. For example, when the first client 20 requests an image file, the client identification unit 220 indicates that the image file is transmitted without performing the conversion process.
- the client identification unit 220 instructs the image file to be converted and transmitted so that the image file can be browsed by a web browser.
- the third client 24 instructs the image file to be converted and transmitted so that the image file conforms to, for example, a DICOM format.
- the setting information storage unit 210 includes an authentication information storage unit 212, a device information storage unit 214, and a transfer information storage unit 216.
- the authentication information storage unit 2 1 2 holds authentication information.
- apparatus The information storage unit 214 includes, for example, an IP address of the device in the second network 52, an IP address of the third network 54, the first recording device 16a, the second recording device 16b, The IP address of each of the third recording device 16c, the second information providing device 200b, and the third information providing device 200c is stored.
- the transfer information storage unit 216 holds the same information as the transfer information storage unit 116 described with reference to FIG.
- the search unit 204 may narrow down the recording devices 16 to be searched based on the transfer information stored in the transfer information storage unit 2 16. For example, when the information transfer apparatus 100 described with reference to FIG. 2 transfers an image file for each modality apparatus, the transfer information storage unit 2 16 stores the same data as the data structure described with reference to FIG. Will be retained. For example, if “CT 2” is included in the search expression as a modality device, the search unit 204 will output “1”.
- the transfer information used by the information transfer device 100 can be acquired, and the recording devices 16 to be searched can be narrowed down based on the transfer information. As a result, the search time can be reduced.
- the setting information input unit 2 18 may receive the data held in the setting information storage unit 2 10 from a user, for example, via a web page displayed on the second client 22.
- the information may be received from the setting information providing unit 120 of the information transfer apparatus 100 described with reference to FIG.
- the setting information input unit 210 automatically detects the information transfer device 100 when the first information providing device 200a is connected to the network, and when the first information providing device 200a is successfully detected, the information is transmitted. Data may be obtained from the transfer device 100. Further, when the setting information is changed in the information transfer apparatus 100, the notification may be received and the data may be obtained.
- the setting information input section 2 18 may receive the data held in the setting information storage unit 2 10 from a user, for example, via a web page displayed on the second client 22.
- the information may be received from the setting information providing unit 120 of the information transfer apparatus 100 described with reference to FIG.
- the setting information input unit 210 automatically detects the information transfer device 100 when the first information providing device 200a is connected to the network, and when the
- the setting information transmitting unit 222 transmits the setting information stored in the setting information storage unit 220 to the second information providing device 20 Ob, which is another information providing device 20. In this way, handling can be facilitated by automatically exchanging information necessary for processing.
- FIG. 4 is a configuration diagram of a system 70.
- the information providing system 70 has one recording device 16.
- the information transfer device 100 receives an image file from the modality device 12 connected to the first network 60.
- the information transfer device 100 transfers the received image file to the recording device 16 connected to the second network 62.
- the recording device 16 stores the image file.
- the information providing apparatus 200 refers to the directory structure of the recording apparatus 16 to search for the image file. Then, the information providing apparatus 200 transmits the corresponding image file to the client 66.
- the information transfer device 100 that determines the transfer destination of the image file, the recording device 16 that stores the image file, and the information providing device 200 that reads the image file from the recording device 16 are separately provided.
- the first network 60 serves as a path for storing the image file from the modality device 12 in the recording device 16
- the third network 64 reads the image file from the recording device 16 Can be clearly separated as a route for
- the recording device 16 is connected to the second network 64, it is easy to add or remove the recording device 16, and the maintenance is excellent.
- FIG. 12 is a hardware configuration diagram of the information transfer device 100 and the information providing device 200 described with reference to FIG. 2 and FIG.
