  First, a communication setting process executed by the CPU 11 of the mobile terminal 10 and the CPU 21 of the control device 20 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 5A is a flowchart showing communication setting processing executed by the CPU 11. As shown in FIG. 5A, the mobile terminal 10 is attached to the communication terminal 10-1 (step S1). Subsequently, the CPU 11 determines whether or not an instruction for performing communication setting is input via the operation unit 12 (step S2). When the instruction for performing communication setting is input (step S2; YES), the display is performed. A setting input screen (not shown) is displayed on the unit 13 to input setting information (step S3).

  Here, the setting information includes an IP address of the control device 20, a user ID of an engineer who manages the mobile terminal 10, an icon displayed on the control device 20 when the mobile terminal 10 is connected, and the like. When the setting information is input, the CPU 11 attaches the identification information of the own device to the setting information, acquires the input IP address, and transmits the setting information to the control device 20 corresponding to the IP address (step). S4). Then, it is determined whether or not an instruction to end the communication setting has been input (step S5). If an instruction to perform the setting is subsequently input (step S5; NO), the process proceeds to step S3 and other control is performed. Communication setting of the device 20 is performed. If an instruction to end communication setting is input (step S5; YES), the communication setting process is ended.

  FIG. 5B is a flowchart showing the communication setting process executed by the CPU 21. As shown in FIG. 5B, the CPU 21 determines whether or not setting information has been received from the mobile terminal 10 (step S7). When the setting information is received (step S7; YES), the received setting information and the identification information of the mobile terminal 10 attached to the setting information are stored in the communication setting table 261 (step S8). Next, the process proceeds to step S7, where it is determined whether or not the next setting information has been received (step S7). When the setting information is not received (step S7; NO), this communication setting process is terminated.

  Next, a communication status display process executed by the CPU 21 of the control device 20 will be described. FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing communication state display processing executed by the CPU 21. As shown in FIG. 6, when receiving a detection signal for detecting that the mobile terminal 10 is attached from the communication terminal 10-1 (Step S <b> 11; YES), the CPU 21 controls the communication control unit 24 to control the mobile terminal. Negotiation is performed between the mobile terminal 10 and the identification information of the connected mobile terminal 10. Then, the CPU 21 acquires the communication setting table 261 and determines whether or not the connected mobile terminal 10 is the mobile terminal 10 set in the communication setting table 261 (step S12). If the mobile terminal 10 is not set in the communication setting table 261 (step S12; NO), the CPU 21 ends the communication state display process without displaying anything on the display unit 23.

  On the other hand, when the portable terminal 10 is set in the communication setting table 261 (step S12; YES), the CPU 21 acquires a corresponding icon from the communication setting table 261, and displays the acquired icon as communication state information. (Step S13). With reference to FIG. 7, the icon displayed on the display part 23 is demonstrated.

  FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating an example of a display screen on which icons are displayed. As shown in FIG. 7, the display screen 231 is provided with a screen information display area A1 and an icon display area A2. In the display area A1, a system menu is displayed as screen information, and an instruction button for instructing each menu such as system status, engineer selection, examination history, utility, and the like is provided. In addition, an input item is provided for the instruction button for the screen format and the operation mode. For example, when portable is input to the input item for the operation mode and the button is specified, the portable imaging device 40 is displayed in the display area A1. The portable mode screen for shooting is displayed.

  In the display area A2, an icon of the mobile terminal 10 that can communicate with the control device 20 is displayed. When there are a plurality of portable terminals 10 that can communicate with the control device 20, a plurality of icons are displayed. In addition, when communication with the mobile terminal 10 is started, for example, the icon display changes to blinking display. Thus, by changing the icon display mode, the engineer can reliably recognize that communication is being performed between the control device 20 and the portable terminal 10.

  Returning to FIG. 6, the CPU 21 controls the communication control unit 24 to determine whether or not communication is started (step S <b> 14). When communication is started (step S <b> 14; YES), the CPU 21 displays on the display unit 23. The displayed icon is blinked (step S15). Subsequently, the CPU 21 determines whether or not the communication with the mobile terminal 10 has ended (step S16). If the communication has ended (step S16; YES), whether or not the connection with the mobile terminal 10 has been disconnected. Is discriminated (step S17).

  If the connection with the mobile terminal 10 is not disconnected (step S17; NO), the process returns to step S13, the icon display mode is returned to normal, and the processes of steps S13 to S17 are repeated. If the connection with the mobile terminal 10 is disconnected (step S17; YES), the icon displayed on the display unit 23 is hidden (step S18), and the communication state display process is terminated.

  As described above, according to the medical image system 100 of the present embodiment, when a plurality of mobile terminals 10, the communication terminal 10-1, and the control device 20 are connected via the network N, they can communicate with each other. When the terminal 10 is set in the control device 20 in advance and the mobile terminal 10 is attached to the communication terminal 10-1, the identification information of the mobile terminal 10 is transmitted to the control device 20 so that the mobile terminal can communicate. When the control device 20 is set as the mobile terminal 10, the communication state between the mobile terminal 10 and the control device 20 is clearly displayed by displaying an icon corresponding to the mobile terminal 10 on the display unit 23 of the control device 20. To.

  Therefore, the engineer can quickly recognize whether or not communication with the communication terminal 10 is possible only by browsing the display screen of the control device 20. Thereby, for example, when a plurality of control devices 20 are installed side by side, each control device 20 does not perform an operation of confirming whether communication with the mobile terminal 10 is possible or not. The communicable control device 20 can be recognized. As a result, communication work with the portable terminal 10 can be performed efficiently and promptly.

  In addition, by displaying the icon of the mobile terminal 10 that can be communicated with the control device 20 that has been set for communication in advance, the mobile terminal 10 and the control device 20 can be connected to each other even though the mobile terminal 10 is attached to the communication terminal 10-1. When communication cannot be performed between the devices, it is possible to easily identify whether a failure has occurred in the device or a failure in the system itself. As a result, it is possible to quickly resolve the problem and prevent interruption of business.

  Further, for example, when the communication terminal 10-1 and the control device 20 are installed in different places, it is possible to bother to confirm whether the mobile terminal 10 is correctly attached to the installation place of the communication terminal 10-1. Since it can be confirmed on the display screen of the control device 20, it is convenient. Furthermore, when the mobile terminal 10 and the control device 20 are in a communicable state, the icon of the mobile terminal 10 is displayed normally, and when communication is started between the mobile terminal 10 and the control device 20, the icon blinks. Therefore, the communication state between the mobile terminal 10 and the control device 20 can be grasped at a glance by changing the icon display mode. Thereby, during communication, the mobile terminal 10 is not detached from the communication terminal 10-1, and the communication is not disconnected, thereby preventing a communication error.

  The description in the above-described embodiment is an example of a suitable medical image system according to the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to this. For example, in the communication setting table 261, the identification information of the mobile terminal 10 and the engineer user ID are stored in association with each other, and the icon indicating the engineer user ID is displayed on the display unit 23. The user ID may not be associated, and an icon indicating identification information of the mobile terminal 10 may be displayed. That is, the information stored in the communication setting table 261 is not limited to the above example.

  Moreover, in this Embodiment, the display aspect demonstrated as an example in the case of displaying the icon which shows communication status information with the portable terminal 10 with normal screen information is not restricted to this. For example, on the display screen 231 shown in FIG. 7, a menu indicating a communication state is added and displayed as a system menu, and by selecting the communication state menu, the icon of the portable terminal 10 capable of switching the display screen and communicating is displayed. A form of display may be used. Alternatively, in the present embodiment, the case where only the icon corresponding to the communicable mobile terminal 10 is displayed on the display unit 23 has been described as an example, but for example, the mobile terminal set in the communication setting table 261 Among these, the mobile terminal 10 that is not attached to the communication terminal 10-1 may be configured to display an icon indicating that the connection is disconnected.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the case where the medical image system 100 includes the communication terminal 10-1 and the mobile terminal 10 is connected to the network N via the communication terminal 10-1 has been described as an example. Not only this but the connection form of the portable terminal 10 is arbitrary. For example, the mobile terminal 10 may be directly connected to the network N by wireless communication or the like without including the communication terminal 10-1.

  Further, in the present embodiment, by performing communication setting processing in the mobile terminal 10, identification information and the like of the mobile terminal 10 can be stored in the communication setting table 261 of the control apparatus 20 and can communicate with the control apparatus 20. The case where the mobile terminal 10 is set has been described as an example, but the control device 20 is configured to input the identification information of the communicable mobile terminal 10 and set the communicable mobile terminal 10. Also good. Alternatively, it is not necessary to perform communication setting processing prior to communication, and when various types of information are transmitted from the mobile terminal 10, a configuration in which setting information including identification information and the like is transmitted at the same time may be configured. .

  In addition, when the icons of a plurality of portable terminals 10 are displayed on the display unit 23 of the control device 20 as the communicable portable terminals 10, the control device 20 instructs the icon of the portable terminal 10 desired by the engineer (for example, A configuration may be adopted in which communication with the designated mobile terminal 10 can be started by clicking. According to this configuration, for example, when a plurality of portable terminals 10 are set in the communication setting table 261 in the control device 20 and the portable terminals 10 are respectively attached to the plurality of communication terminals 10-1 substantially simultaneously, By sequentially communicating with the mobile terminals 10, the work can be efficiently performed. That is, when information is sequentially transmitted to a plurality of mobile terminals 10, it is not necessary to replace the mobile terminal 10 with the communication terminal 10-1 each time, and the communication terminal 10-1 is particularly efficient when it is in a remote location. Work can be done.

  Alternatively, in the control device 20, the imaging order information received from the information management device 60 is stored in a queue for each mobile terminal 10 set in the communication setting table 261, and the mobile terminal 10 is attached to the communication terminal 10-1. Then, when communication with the mobile terminal 10 becomes possible, an icon may be displayed on the display unit 23, and at the same time, the corresponding shooting order information may be automatically transmitted to the mobile terminal 10. In this case, the imaging order information includes identification information of the mobile terminal 10 for specifying which mobile terminal 10 should acquire the imaging order information, in addition to patient information, imaging information, and the like. .

  In addition, it is needless to say that the detailed configuration and detailed operation of each component of the medical image system 100 according to the present embodiment can be appropriately changed without departing from the gist of the present invention.
