IN-VIVO INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IN-VIVO INFORMATION ACQUISITION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. An in-vivo information acquisition system comprising an in-vivo information acquisition apparatus provided with a configuration capable of transmitting a wireless signal which includes in-vivo information about an inside of a subject acquired by an in-vivo information acquisition section to an outside of the subject, and a terminal apparatus provided with a configuration capable of receiving the wireless signal transmitted from the in-vivo information acquisition apparatus outside the subject, whereinthe terminal apparatus comprises a reception confirmation signal transmission section generating a reception confirmation signal and transmitting the reception confirmation signal to the in-vivo information acquisition apparatus when the wireless signal which includes the in-vivo information about the subject can be received;
- andthe in-vivo information acquisition apparatus comprises a storage section, and a control section causing the wireless signal which includes the in-vivo information about the subject to be transmitted to the outside of the subject and at the same time, causing the same in-vivo information as included in the wireless signal transmitted to the outside of the subject to be stored into the storage section at least during a period during which the reception confirmation signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus cannot be received.

5. A method for controlling an in-vivo information acquisition system comprising an in-vivo information acquisition apparatus provided with a configuration capable of transmitting a wireless signal which includes in-vivo information about an inside of a subject acquired by an in-vivo information acquisition section to an outside of the subject, and a terminal apparatus provided with a configuration capable of receiving the wireless signal transmitted from the in-vivo information acquisition apparatus outside the subject, the method comprising the steps of:
-
a reception confirmation signal being generated and transmitted to the in-vivo information acquisition apparatus by an operation of a reception confirmation signal transmission section of the terminal apparatus when the wireless signal which includes the in-vivo information about the subject is received; the wireless signal which includes the in-vivo information about the subject being transmitted to the outside of the subject by an operation of a control section of the in-vivo information acquisition apparatus at least during a period during which the reception confirmation signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus cannot be received; and the same in-vivo information as included in the wireless signal transmitted to the outside of the subject being stored into a storage section by an operation of the control section at least during the period during which the reception confirmation signal transmitted from the terminal apparatus cannot be received. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
