ELECTRONIC ENDOSCOPIC APPARATUS
First Claim
1. An electronic endoscopic apparatus having multiple operation modes to be executed exclusively, the apparatus comprising:
- a control section that controls the execution of the operation modes; and
a switching request detecting section that detects a request for switching to the operation mode to be executed,wherein the internal configuration of the control section is changed based on the detection result by the switching request detecting section.

Abstract
An electronic endoscopic apparatus of the present invention can improve the usage efficiency of a circuit of a control section therein and can improve the reliability of operations of the circuit. The electronic endoscopic apparatus is an electronic endoscopic apparatus having multiple operation modes to be executed exclusively, the apparatus internally including an FPGA 1 that internally includes a CPU 10 and peripheral circuits and controls the execution of the operation modes and a switching request detecting section that detects a request for switching to the operation mode to be executed, wherein the internal configuration of the FPGA 1 is changed based on the detection result by the switching request detecting section.
