Abstract
Description
なお、以下に述べる実施の形態では、本発明の画像撮影システムを医療分野に適用して医療用画像撮影システムとして説明を行うが、これは一例であって、本発明の画像撮影システムを他の分野に適用して他の種類の画像撮影システムとしてもよいことは勿論のことである。
図1は、本発明の第1の実施の形態に係る医療用画像撮影システムの構成例を示す図である。
図2は、医療用画像撮影装置200の構成例を示す図である。
文字データ生成部225は、各種の文字データを生成する。例えば、文字データ生成部225は、図示しない操作部を介して入力される患者に関するデータ、又は、通信ネットワーク300に接続される外部装置から送信される患者に関するデータに基づいて、患者データを生成する。
なお、図示はしないが、サーバ装置400も、医療用画像撮影装置200と同様に、CPU、実効スループット計測部及び転送帯域制御部を有するネットワークインターフェース部を含む。
一方、S103の判定結果がYesの場合には、本処理が終了する。
なお、図示はしないが、サーバ装置400で行われる転送帯域制御動作も、医療用画像撮影装置200で行われる動作と基本的に同様となる。すなわち、サーバ装置400で行われる転送帯域制御動作では、医療用画像撮影装置200からサーバ装置400への動画データの転送が開始されてからの処理が、図3に示したS103乃至S109の処理と同様となる。
図4は、本発明の第2の実施の形態に係る医療用画像撮影システムの構成例を示す図である。
図5に示したように、医療用画像撮影装置600の構成は、2つのネットワークインターフェース部610、620を備えること以外は、図2に示した医療用画像撮影装置200と基本的に同様となる。
一方、S203の判定結果がYesの場合、その時点で、ネットワークインターフェース部620における動画データの転送帯域、すなわち、物理ポートBにおける論理ポートAの転送帯域として設定されている値がゼロでない場合には、それをゼロに設定する(S210)。また、これにより、物理ポートBにおける残りの転送帯域、すなわち、物理ポートBの全ての転送帯域(100Mbps)が、物理ポートBにおける論理ポートBの転送帯域として設定される。従って、この場合には、その他データ転送用インフラにおいて、動画転送用に使用されていた帯域が解放される。
なお、図示はしないが、サーバ装置800で行われる転送帯域制御動作も、医療用画像撮影装置600で行われる動作と基本的に同様となる。すなわち、サーバ装置800で行われる転送帯域制御動作では、医療用画像撮影装置600からサーバ装置800への動画データの転送が開始されてからの処理が、図6に示したS203乃至S210の処理と同様となる。
例えば、第1の実施の形態に係る医療用画像撮影装置200、又は、第2の実施の形態に係る医療用画像撮影装置600において、データ(例えば動画データ)の転送中に外部の商用電源240からの電力供給が遮断された場合に、そのデータの転送が継続されるように、そのデータの転送に必要な各部への電力供給を、通信ネットワーク300又は700に接続されたネットワーク装置から行うように制御し、そのデータの転送が完了した後にネットワーク装置からの電力供給を遮断するように制御してもよい。この場合、例えば、図2に示した医療用画像撮影装置200は、図7に示すように、バッテリー227が除かれると共に、通信ネットワーク300に接続されたネットワーク装置であるPoE(Power over Ethernet)対応のスイッチングハブ301に接続される。そして、データの転送中に商用電源240からの電力供給が遮断された場合に、電源管理部226が、そのデータの転送が継続されるように、その動画データの転送に必要な各部への電力供給をスイッチングハブ301から行うように制御し、その動画データの転送が完了した後にスイッチングハブ301からの電力供給を遮断するように制御する。このような変形例により、医療用画像撮影装置200又は600は、バッテリー227の搭載を不要とすることができる。
