Capsule-type medical device and medical system
First Claim
1. A capsule type medical device comprising:
- a) a first imaging device adapted to capture a first image of a subject;
b) a second imaging device adapted to capture a second image of the subject;
c) a first illumination device for illuminating the subject to capture the first image;
d) a second illumination device for illuminating the subject to capture the second image; and
e) a transmission circuit for transmitting the first and second images using a wireless signal;
whereinthe transmission circuit is adapted to alternately perform at least initiation of transmitting a first signal and initiation of transmitting a second signal, the first and second signals respectively corresponding to the first and second images, and the first and second illumination devices are alternately turned on coincidentally with transmission periods of the first and second signals, respectively.

Abstract
A method of transmitting images in a subject to an outside of the subject using a wireless signal is provided. The method including: (a) transmitting to the outside of the subject a first signal corresponding to a first image obtained using a first imaging device, by timing on a first illumination device for illuminating the subject to capture the first image of the subject; (b) transmitting to the outside of the subject a second signal corresponding to a second image obtained using a second imaging device, by turning on a second illumination device for illuminating the subject to capture the second image of the subject; and (c) repeating (a) and (b), where at least initiation of the transmitting the first signal and initiation of the transmitting the second signals is alternately performed and the first and second illumination devices are alternately turned on coincidentally with transmission periods of the first and second signals, respectively.

13. A method of transmitting images in a subject to an outside of the subject using a wireless signal, comprising:
-
(a) turning on a first illumination device for illuminating a subject and obtaining a first image of the subject using a first imaging device; (b) turning on a second illumination device for illuminating the subject and obtaining a second image of the subject using a second imaging device; (c) transmitting to the outside of the subject a first signal corresponding to the first image obtained using the first imaging device; (d) transmitting to the outside of the subject a second signal corresponding to the second image obtained using the second imaging device; and (e) repeating (c) and (d), wherein at least initiation of the transmitting the first signal and initiation of the transmitting the second signal is alternately performed and the first and second illumination devices are alternately turned on coincidentally with transmission periods of the first and second signals, respectively.
