Electronic endoscope system
First Claim
1. An electronic endoscope system, including an endoscope unit provided with an image capturing device, said image capturing device outputting an image signal representing a captured image;
- a video processing unit for processing the image signal output by said image capturing device; and
a display device that displays an image in accordance with the image signal processed by said video processing unit,said video processing unit including;
an image display condition controlling system that controls a displaying condition of an image on said display device, the displaying condition being determined in accordance with displaying parameters;
a changing device for changing said displaying parameters;
a memory for storing at least one registration ID (identification) code and the displaying parameters, said endoscope system further comprising an ID code input member, which inputs an ID code instrinsic to said ID code input member, to said video processing unit, said video processing unit further including;
a discriminating system which discriminates whether the ID code input from said ID code input member coincides with said at least one registration ID code;
a controller that controls said image display controlling system to adjust the displaying condition in accordance with the displaying parameters stored in said memory when said ID code input from said ID code input member coincides with said at least one registration ID code, said controller controlling said image display condition controlling system to adjust the displaying condition in accordance with a predetermined reference displaying parameters when said ID code input from said ID code input member does not coincide with said at least one registration ID code.

Abstract
An electronic endoscope system includes an endoscope unit, a video processing unit, a display device. The video processing unit is provided with a device for changing parameters referred to for controlling illumination light and an image display condition. A registration ID (identification) code and the displaying parameters are stored in a non-volatile memory. A hard key is detachably coupled to the video processing unit. The hard key stores an ID code intrinsic thereto, and the displaying condition is adjusted in accordance with the displaying parameters stored in the memory if the ID code of the hard key coincides with the registration ID code. While, the display condition is adjusted in accordance with a predetermined reference displaying parameters if the ID code of the hard key does not coincide with the registration ID code.
