The present invention provides a device for generating a signal, which includes an electrode, if connected to an external power source, supplied with a voltage from the external power source, a signal generating unit having a plurality of terminals, the signal generating unit deciding whether to operate the device according to a size of a voltage applied to a first terminal among a plurality of the terminals, the signal generating unit outputting a prescribed signal according to the decision, and a control circuit, if the electrode is connected to a plurality of the terminals, controlling a voltage applied to a plurality of the terminals. Accordingly, the present invention is able to control whether to operate a signal generating device using an external power source. | 08-09-2012 |
20110032259 | METHOD OF DISPLAYING IMAGES OBTAINED FROM AN IN-VIVO IMAGING DEVICE AND APPARATUS USING SAME - The present invention relates to a method of displaying images obtained from an in-vivo imaging device, comprising receiving data of original images captured by an in-vivo imaging device in a body lumen; creating simplified images from the original images, the simplified images having lower resolution than the original images; and displaying at least one map view which has a plurality of columns and a plurality of rows, at least part of the map view being filled with the plurality of the simplified images in rows and columns, whereby a user can recognize at a glance if there is any disease such as bleeding before scrutinizing captured images one by one. | 02-10-2011 |
20100168517 | ENDOSCOPE AND A METHOD FOR FINDING ITS LOCATION - An endoscope and method for determining a position of an endoscope body within the human body are disclosed. The endoscope ( | 07-01-2010 |
20100150416 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING VISUAL IMAGES OF DIGESTIVE SYSTEM - The present invention provides a method and system for processing visual images of a digestive system. The method comprises: detecting visual images of a digestive system; storing the detected visual images; analyzing the stored visual images to identify corresponding event frames; and displaying the identified event frames quantitatively with respect to at least one reference. With the method and system, visual images of a digestive system can be processed more accurately, efficiently and conveniently for diagnostic purposes. | 06-17-2010 |
20090304093 | TRANSMITTING DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD USING A MEDIUM - A transmitting apparatus, a communication system, and a communication method, using a medium, are disclosed. The transmitting apparatus includes an information processing unit for acquiring information about the medium and converting the information into an electric signal, a transmitting electrode for receiving the electric signal and transmitting the electric signal to a receiving electrode provided at the exterior of the medium, and an insulating member for forming a capacitor with the transmitting electrode and the medium, wherein the transmitting electrode transmits the electric signal to the receiving electrode through an electric field generated by the insulating member. Therefore, the electric signal can be safely transmitted through a human body using the electric field. | 12-10-2009 |
20090187071 | CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPLEMENTING TIME SHIFT FUNCTION THEREIN - A capsule endoscope system and related method for capturing an image of the inside of a human body using a capsule endoscope and storing or displaying the captured image in real time to implement a time shift function. The endoscopy capsule captures an image of an inside of a human body. The captured image is transmitted to an image processing unit and is displayed in real time. The image is stored in a storage unit within a predetermined storage range for the time shift function. When the time shift function is requested by a user, a progress bar is displayed, showing a progress state of the storage of the transmitted image in real time by means of an indicator. When the user moves the indicator to a past time using a user interface, a time-shifted image is displayed on the display beginning with the past time. | 07-23-2009 |
20090131746 | CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM AND METHOD OF PROCESSING IMAGE DATA THEREOF - The present invention relates to a capsule endoscope system and method of processing image data thereof and is suitable for capturing the inner parts of human body using a capsule endoscope having an internally-usable capsule size and receiving to display image data generated from the capturing. By the present invention, a possible-disease part of a patient is selected and observed through a number of image data received from a capsule endoscope, attribute information containing diagnostic details are supported to facilitate an overall diagnostic result to be interpreted, and internal organs in numerous image data received from a capsule endoscope are easily discriminated from each other. | 05-21-2009 |
20090102518 | DEVICE FOR GENERATING A SIGNAL AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING OPERATION OF THE SAME - The present invention relates to a device for generating a signal and method for controlling operation of the same. The present invention provides a device for generating a signal, which includes an electrode ( | 04-23-2009 |
20090086018 | PROCESSING METHOD OF IMAGE ACQUIRING IN BODY LUMEN, CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE AND CAPSULE ENDOSCOPE SYSTEM USING IT - The present invention relates to a method for processing an image in a capsule endoscope and capsule endoscope system that processes an internal human body image acquired by a capsule type endoscope swallowable into a human body. The present invention includes a step (a) of acquiring a light emitting image consecutively in a light emitting mode, a step (b) of acquiring a no-light image in a no-light mode after elapse of a prescribed time, and a step (c) of correcting the light emitting image acquired in the step (a) using the no-light image acquired in the step (b). According to the present invention, noises attributed to dark-current and heat occurring in an image of taking an internal human body can be corrected and a quality of an internal human body image can be enhanced using an effective part of a no-light image only in removing dark-current noise and thermal noise. | 04-02-2009 |
