Abstract: In a method for fast communication between inside and outside of a human or animal body using an analog electrical signal and a system thereof, by using a TV standard signal suitable for an international specification such as NTSC, PAL and the like, as the analog electrical signal, image information on the inside of the human or animal body can be monitored in the form of moving pictures through a general TV without any complicated receiving system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for generating a signal and method for controlling operation of the same. The present invention provides a device for generating a signal, which includes an electrode (110), if connected to an external power source (200), supplied with a voltage from the external power source (200), a signal generating unit (130) having a plurality of terminals, the signal generating unit (130) deciding whether to operate the device according to a size of a voltage applied to a first terminal among a plurality of the terminals, the signal generating unit (130) outputting a prescribed signal according to the decision, and a control circuit (120), if the electrode (110) is connected to a plurality of the terminals, controlling a voltage applied to a plurality of the terminals. Accordingly, the present invention is able to control whether to operate a signal generating device (100) using an external power source (200).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for processing an image in a capsule endoscope and capsule endoscope system that processes an internal human body image acquired by a capsule type endoscope swallowable into a human body. The present invention includes a step (a) of acquiring a light emitting image consecutively in a light emitting mode, a step (b) of acquiring a no-light image in a no-light mode after elapse of a prescribed time, and a step (c) of correcting the light emitting image acquired in the step (a) using the no-light image acquired in the step (b). According to the present invention, noises attributed to dark-current and heat occurring in an image of taking an internal human body can be corrected and a quality of an internal human body image can be enhanced using an effective part of a no-light image only in removing dark-current noise and thermal noise.
