Deletion of medical images in cloud-based storage
First Claim
1. A method for controlling automatic deletion of medical images in a universal viewer system that shares the medical images between a cloud server and a plurality of healthcare facilities connected to the cloud server, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the cloud server and from a user at one of the healthcare facilities, an automatic deletion request that comprises a target deletion period and a deletion start time;
determining, by the cloud server and after the deletion start time has elapsed, a target medical image based on the target deletion period;
retrieving, by the cloud server, authority information of the user;
retrieving, by the cloud server, an access history of the target medical image;
determining, by the cloud server, whether the target medical image is accessed by a plurality of users based on the access history;
determining, by the cloud server and in response to determining that the target medical image is accessed by a plurality of users, whether the authority information is lower than, matches, or higher than a pre-configured specified authority level;
upon determining that the authority information is lower than the pre-configured specified authority level, further determining, by the cloud server, that the target medical image should not be deleted and terminating the automatic deletion request without deleting the target medical image, or upon determining that the authority information matches or is higher than a pre-configured specified authority level, further determining, by the cloud server, that the target medical image can be deleted;
storing in a memory, by the cloud server, a result of the automatic deletion request; and
causing, by the cloud server, the result of the automatic deletion request to be displayed on a display of at least one of the healthcare facilities.
