Bending control device
First Claim
1. A bending control device comprising a bending instruction operation portion for executing bending instruction operation to a bending portion in an endoscope having an insertion portion provided with an image pickup portion for capturing an image and the bending portion capable of being bent at the distal end side;
- and a bending control portion for controlling bending of the bending portion according to the bending instruction operation by the bending instruction operation portion, wherein a first bending control mode for bending control corresponding to a first image captured by the image pickup portion; and
a second bending control mode for bending control corresponding to a second image displaying the distal end side of the insertion portion are provided as the bending control mode for operation of the bending control by the bending control portion.

Abstract
At a distal end side of an insertion portion of an endoscope, an image pickup portion for capturing an image and a bending portion capable of being bent are provided, and a bending instruction operation portion executes a bending instruction operation for the bending portion. According to the bending instruction operation by the bending instruction operation portion, the bending control portion executes the controlling bending of the bending portion. As a bending control mode for executing the operation of the bending control by the bending control portion, a first bending control mode for bending control corresponding to a first image captured by the image pickup portion and a second bending control mode for bending control displaying the distal end side of the insertion portion are provided.

20. A bending control device comprising a bending control portion for executing control of a bending direction of a bending portion provided at an insertion portion of an endoscope according to a bending instruction by a bending instruction operation portion;
- and
an image display device for displaying a first image captured by an image pickup portion provided at a distal end portion of the insertion portion and a second image at least relating to display of the distal end side of the insertion portion, wherein bending control is selectively executed by the bending control portion in correspondence with each of the first image and the second image.

21. A bending control device comprising a bending control portion for executing control of a bending direction of a bending portion of an endoscope provided with an image pickup device and the bending portion;
- and
a bending instruction operation portion for executing an bending instruction operation in the direction to bend the bending portion, wherein the bending control portion executes controlling bending of the bending portion by switching between a first bending control mode defined to bend the bending portion vertically by the bending instruction operation portion for a first observation image obtained by the image pickup device; and
a second bending control mode defined to bend the bending portion vertically by the bending instruction operation portion for a second observation image displaying a state of the distal end of the insertion portion. - View Dependent Claims (22)
