- the signal management server 16 comprises the signal selection (SS) function containing the content of at least one signal (SE) available for transmission to the access device (12).
- the signal management device 14 comprises the signal selection (SS) function containing the content of at least one signal (SE) available for broadcast to the access device (12).
- FIG. 2 shows an embodiment of the signal management device (14), wherein said device is comprised of a signal distributor (30), capture means (31), recording medium (34), reproducing means (22), control means (36), a power source, a processor (33) and a signal transmission means (35), wherein the components are intercommunicable.
- the signal management device (14) is also responsible for capturing the signals (SA) and reproducing them in sync with the signal (SS).
- the source of signal (10) is responsible for performing signal generation (SE).
- the signal management device 14 comprises more than one signal source 10, as seen in Figure 1, so there are two possible signals (SE). In one embodiment, it is up to the access device 12 to select which signal (SS) it wishes to watch and may send a signal (SA).
- the signal source (10) is a camera that will generate as a signal (SE) a video.
- signal (SS) is a video, in order to integrate with the current hospital system the system in question comprises means of converting the acquired video into picture frames for documentation of a surgical procedure following a standard .
- the reproduction medium 22 is responsible for receiving the signal (SE) and the signal (SA), and reproducing such information.
- the playback means 22 is a monitor and some means of propagating audio.
- the signal transmission means 35 is responsible for manipulating the signal (SS), sending it, receiving the signal (SA), and sending a compiled file for storing the signal (SU) on a transmission server. management of signals (16).
- the processor (33) interprets the signal (SA).
- the capture means 31 in this example is a capture board 31 with the function of receiving the signal SE generated by the signal source 10 and sending to the processor 33 for generating a signal SS).
- the signal transmission means 35 corresponds to any means of input and / or output of signals traversing the traffic channel (CT).
- CT traffic channel
- the signal transmission means 35 is associated with the processor 33.
- the processor (33) comprises a band analyzer, a decoder and connection to the signal distributor (30).
- the signal distributor (30) comprising decision-making means for routing signals.
- the processor 33 functions to process the signal SS, store it in the recording medium 34, route the signal SS, connected to the signal (SA) to the reproducing means (22) and to forward processed signal to the signal transmission means (35).
- the signal (SE) processed for transmission to the access device (12) is understood as the signal (SS).
- an IMX6 processor may be used.
- the band analyzer has the function of analyzing the quality of the band of the transmission channel and indicates to the processor, so that it adjusts the signal to be sent.
- the band analyzer is capable of indicating this resolution in order not to impair transmission of the processed data to the access device (12). In order to do so, it may be necessary for the band analyzer to neglect and to withdraw certain amounts of information from the signal (SS), which may be the least significant bits (or qubits) of the information, in order to make the signal to be sent something less complex, preventing interruptions and allowing greater reliability in communication between devices.
- the band analyzer is able to relate the quality and availability of the network used in order to determine the amount of information that must be sacrificed in order to maintain continuous communication.
- the present decoder receives the signal (SS), and encodes it by decreasing its complexity and facilitating the sending of this information.
- the codec used may be an H264.
- the processor (33) performs the storage of the signal (SE) in the recording medium (34), which compiles the signal (SE) and provides the compiled file to the control means (36), which in turn, forwards to storage on the signal management server (16).
- the signal (SE) compiled into a file is understood as a signal (SU).
- the signal (SS) is then routed to the transmission medium, which is understood as an output which routes the signal (SS) to the access device (12).
- the channel used for the traffic of the processed signal is a network using any type of Peer-to-Peer protocol.
- the access device (12) upon receiving the signal (SS), the access device (12) generates the signal (SA), wherein the signal (SA) comprises including video and audio signals.
- the signal (SA) is then routed to the signal management device (14) which in turn sends the processor (33), which is in function to receive signal (SA) and synchronize it with the signal (SS ). (SS) and signal (SA), the processor (33), thus forwards this connection to the reproduction medium (22) shown in Figures 4 and 5.
- the management device 14 Upon completion of the communication of the communicating device with the access device 12, and with the signal SE already stored in the recording medium 34, the management device 14 sends the compiled file as a signal SU) and forwards the signal to the signal management server (16).
- the signal (SU) is stored in the storage medium 164.
- the server then becomes a kind of database, and the present invention determines that this signal management server 16 is an accessible location for later retrieval of the stored signals (SU).
- the stored files are the recorded full HD videos, and therefore, they are stored on the signal management server (16), where they can be collected, downloaded for purposes of further analysis for educational purposes, for example.
- the signals (SA) may also be stored in the signal management server (16), and may be synchronized with the corresponding stored (SU) signal.
