System for controling medical instruments
First Claim
1. A control system for controlling medical equipment comprising:
- a mobile device including;
an operator panel that has an operating section used to determine the settings of a plurality of pieces of medical equipment;
a first information processing circuit that produces data, which represents the settings of medical equipment, on the basis of the determination made through said operator panel; and
a first communication interface that enables bi-directional communication so as to permit transmission of the setting data produced by said information processing circuit; and
a controller including;
a second communication interface via which said controller is connected to a plurality of pieces of medical equipment;
a third communication interface that enables communication via said first communication interface; and
a second information processing circuit that applies the setting data received via said third communication interface to said second communication interface.

Abstract
A medical equipment control system consists mainly of a plurality of centralized controllers each of which controls on a centralized basis a plurality of pieces of medical equipment installed in an operating room, and a mobile device capable of communicating with the plurality of centralized controllers. The mobile device is used to determine or record control data based on which the plurality of pieces of medical equipment is controlled. The recorded control data is transmitted to and recorded in the centralized controller in an operating room concerned. Thus, a medical equipment control system capable of controlling medical equipment at low cost on a centralized basis is realized.

15. A controller for controlling medical equipment, comprising:
-
an information processing circuit for producing data that represents the settings of medical equipment;
a first communication interface via which the setting data produced by said information processing circuit is transmitted to said medical equipment, and equipment information is received from said medical equipment;
a memory in which the setting data produced by said information processing circuit or the equipment information received via said first communication interface is stored; and
a second communication interface that enables communication with a mobile device having a storage device so as to permit transmission of the setting data or equipment information, which is stored in said memory, to said mobile device. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
