Remote operation support system and method
First Claim
1. A remote operation support system comprising:
- a first control system disposed in an operating room;
a second control system disposed in a primary support room; and
a third control system disposed in at least one secondary support room, the first to third control systems being connected to each other through communication lines, whereinthe first control system comprises;
an imaging device for imaging a portion to be treated of a patient under operation to obtain an image signal;
a first transmission/reception device for transmitting the image signal supplied from the imaging device to the second control system, transmitting patient information regarding the patient under operation to the third control system, and receiving support information from the second control system; and
a reproduction device for displaying the image signal and reproducing the support information,the third control system comprises;
a patient-information processing device for processing the patient information transmitted from the first control system to obtain the result of the processing; and
a second transmission/reception device for receiving the patient information from the first transmission/reception device of the first control system and transmitting information indicating the processing result, obtained by the patient-information processing device, as secondary support information to the second control system, andthe second control system comprises;
an integration device for generating primary support information, used to support an operator in the operating room upon operating, on the basis of the secondary support information transmitted from the third control system and the image signal transmitted from the first control system; and
a third transmission/reception device for receiving the image signal sent from the first control system and the secondary support information sent from the third control system, and transmitting the primary support information generated through the integration device to the first control system.

Abstract
According to the present invention, a remote operation support system includes a first control system arranged in an operating room, a second control system arranged in a primary support room, and a third control system arranged in at least one secondary support room, the first to third control systems being connected to each other through communication lines. The first control system has an imaging device for obtaining an image signal of a patient under operation, a first transmission/reception device for transmitting the image signal supplied from the imaging device to the second control system, simultaneously transmitting patient information regarding the patient under operation to the third control system, and receiving support information from the second control system, and a reproduction device for displaying the image signal and reproducing the support information. On the basis of secondary support information sent from the third control system and the image signal sent from the first control system, the second control system generates primary support information to support an operator in the operating room upon operating, and then transmits the generated information to the first control system.
