Medical system
First Claim
1. A medical system comprising:
- a capsule type medical device having a capsule configuration;
an operation device, arranged external to the capsule type medical device, and including generating means for generating a particular pattern signal;
a switch, arranged in the capsule type medical device, for switching on and off power of the capsule type medical device;
receiver means, arranged in the capsule type medical device, for receiving a signal from the outside; and
pattern monitoring means, arranged in the capsule type medical device, for turning on or off the switch at the moment the pattern monitoring means detects the particular pattern signal as an output signal from the receiver means.

13. A medical system comprising:
-
a capsule type medical device having a capsule configuration;
an operation device, arranged external to the capsule type medical device, and including generating means for generating two different pattern signals;
a semiconductor switch, arranged in the capsule type medical device, for switching on or off power of the capsule type medical device;
a switch driver circuit, arranged in the capsule type medical device, for controlling the semiconductor switch for the power on operation or the power off operation;

14. A medical system comprising:
-
a capsule type medical device having a capsule configuration;
a sensor for detecting at least one of external signals including light and a magnetic field coming in from outside the capsule type medical device;
pattern monitoring means for determining whether a time-series pattern signal on the basis of detecting or undetecting by the sensor matches a particular pattern; and
a switch for switching the power of the capsule type medical device between an on state and an off state at the moment the pattern monitoring means determines that the time series signal matches the particular pattern. - View Dependent Claims (15)
