Abstract

An automated external defibrillator (AED) with a panoramic video camera device comprises a case, an AED accommodated by the case, a microprocessor built in the AED, an image capture device electrically connected with the microprocessor, a memory electrically connected with the microprocessor and storing the images captured by the image capture device, and a panoramic lens arranged above the image capture device. During usage, the present invention takes motion pictures panoramically to provide more detailed information for the medical personnel after the patient has been transported to the hospital and ascertain the truth for a medical dispute.

Claims

1. An automated external defibrillator with a panoramic video camera device, comprising

a case;

an automated external defibrillator arranged inside said case, wherein a microprocessor is built in said automated external defibrillator and electrically connected with a memory;

an image capture device electrically connected with said microprocessor, wherein said microprocessor stores images captured by said image capture device in said memory; and

a panoramic lens arranged above said image capture device.

2. The automated external defibrillator with a panoramic video camera device according to claim 1 further comprising an audio amplifier, wherein said audio amplifier is electrically connected with said microprocessor and a sound pickup device, and wherein said audio amplifier amplifies signals picked up by said sound pickup device and sends amplified signals to said microprocessor.

3. The automated external defibrillator with a panoramic video camera device according to claim 1, wherein said image capture device is CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or made of CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
