Abstract

A mobile device, a host device, and an X-ray detector are provided. The mobile device includes a first communicator configured to receive identification information of the X-ray detector from the X-ray detector, and a second communicator configured to send the received identification information of the X-ray detector to the host device.

Claims

1. A mobile device comprising:

a first communicator configured to receive identification information of an X-ray detector from the X-ray detector; and

a second communicator configured to send the received identification information of the X-ray detector to a host device.

2. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first communicator is further configured to receive detector information of the X-ray detector from the X-ray detector, the detector information having any one or any combination of a remaining battery capacity, a size, a resolution, a pixel size, calibration information, and a read-out rate of the X-ray detector.

3. The mobile device of claim 2, further comprising:

a display configured to display either one or both of the detector information and a screen for receiving an approval of a pairing with the host device; and

an input interface configured to receive an input of the approval of the pairing with the host device.

4. The mobile device of claim 1, wherein the first communicator comprises any one or any combination of a Near Field Communication (NFC) module and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, and is further configured to receive the identification information of the X-ray detector from the X-ray detector in response to the X-ray detector tagging the mobile device,

the second communicator comprises any one or any combination of a beacon and a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module and is further configured to transmit a signal having the received identification information of the X-ray detector to the host device in response to the first communicator receiving the identification information of the X-ray detector.

5. The mobile device of claim 1, further comprising a display configured to display a screen for receiving an approval of a pairing with the host device, before the sending of the received identification information of the X-ray detector to the host device or after the host device receives a pairing response from the X-ray detector.

6. A host device comprising:

a first communicator configured to receive identification information of an X-ray detector from a mobile device; and

a second communicator configured to send a pairing request having the received identification information to the X-ray detector.

7. The host device of claim 6, further comprising a display configured to display a screen for receiving an approval of a pairing with the X-ray detector of which the identification information is received.

8. The host device of claim 7, further comprising an input interface configured to receive an input of the approval of the pairing with the X-ray detector.

9. The host device of claim 6, wherein the second communicator is further configured to send a pairing approval request to the mobile device.

10. The host device of claim 6, wherein the second communicator comprises any one or any combination of a Wi-Fi module and a Wi-Fi Direct module, and is further configured to send the pairing request having the received identification information to the X-ray detector in response to the first communicator receiving the identification information of the X-ray detector.

11. The host device of claim 6, wherein the second communicator is further configured to, in response to the host device being paired with the X-ray detector of which the identification information is received, receive X-ray data and detector information of the X-ray detector from the X-ray detector, the detector information having any one or any combination of a remaining battery capacity, a size, a resolution, a pixel size, a read-out rate, and calibration information of the X-ray detector.

12. The host device of claim 6, wherein the second communicator is further configured to release a pairing with the X-ray detector in response to the first communicator receiving identification information of a new X-ray detector.

13. An X-ray detector comprising:

a detector configured to detect an X-ray, and convert the detected X-ray into X-ray data;

a first communicator configured to send identification information of the X-ray detector to a mobile device; and

a second communicator configured to pair a host device with the X-ray detector in response to receiving a pairing request from the host device.

14. The X-ray detector of claim 13, wherein the first communicator comprises any one or any combination of a Near Field Communication (NFC) tag and a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tag in which the identification information is recorded.

15. The X-ray detector of claim 13, wherein the second communicator comprises any one or any combination of a Wi-Fi module and a Wi-Fi Direct module, and is further configured to send a response to the host device to pair the X-ray detector and the host device in response to receiving the pairing request from the host device.
