BODY-CAVITY IMAGE OBESERVATION APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A body-cavity image observation apparatus, comprising:
- a first receiving unit that receives body-cavity image data directly from a body-cavity image data transmitter which is inserted into a subject;
a second receiving unit that receives the body-cavity image data indirectly via another receiving device which has received the body-cavity image data from the body-cavity image data transmitter;
a display unit that displays a body-cavity image based on the body-cavity image data received by the first receiving unit and the second receiving unit; and
an identification notifying unit that presents different identification modes which allow a sensory recognition between a case where the body-cavity image is displayed on the display unit based on the body-cavity image data received by the first receiving unit and a case where the body-cavity image is displayed on the display unit based on the body-cavity image data received by the second receiving unit.

Abstract
An object of the present invention is to enable clearly identifying whether a body-cavity image displayed on a display unit is based on data which is directly received by a viewer itself, or whether the body-cavity image displayed on the display unit is based on data received by another receiving device. An identification notifying unit presents different identification modes such as a capsule mark and a cable mark 41 which are sensory recognizable between the case where a body-cavity image based on body-cavity image data which a first receiving unit has received directly from a capsule endoscope is displayed, and the case where a body-cavity image 40 based on body-cavity image data which a second receiving unit has received via another receiving device is displayed. Thus, it is possible to clearly identify which receiver has received the body-cavity image data based on which the body-cavity image is displayed.

14. A display method of a body-cavity image, comprising:
-
capturing a body-cavity image; transmitting the captured image to an outside of a subject; detecting a connection state between a first receiving device and a second receiving device; receiving the transmitted image by one of the first receiving device and the second receiving device at the outside of a subject in response to a result of detecting the connection state; displaying the received image; and displaying the result of detecting the connection state on the second receiving device. - View Dependent Claims (15)
