V. Description of the invention (l) The technology of the invention The present invention relates to an intra-capsule system for video transmission ΐ :: an image processor for real-time & controlled intra-capsule system for patient's digestive tract . The social progress of the people who have previously suffered from μ iw has led to the emergence of civilized diseases such as heart disease :: cancer, gastrointestinal diseases, and so on. Taking gastrointestinal diseases as an example, the first transfer method is usually to directly observe the inner wall tissue of the patient's stomach through a gastroscope, or directly observe the inner wall tissue of the patient's large intestine through a colonoscopy. Sick m. However, neither of the above two methods of diagnosis and treatment can observe the small intestine, and the uncomfortable process during diagnosis and treatment is often repulsive. In order to improve this phenomenon, in recent years, the medical community has developed capsule endoscopy with small size and high practicality. This technology has caused revolutionary changes in the field of medical equipment, so that humans have begun to understand the actual situation of the small intestine. Operation and diagnosis of diseases. Figures 1 and 2 are schematic diagrams of image data transmission in the conventional capsule internal vision system. Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 at the same time. The general capsule internal vision system 100 is composed of a capsule endoscope 110, a data receiver 120, an image processor 130, and a display 140.
