Abstract: A playback processing unit causes a display device to display an endoscopic image recorded in an endoscopic image recording unit. A display time setting unit sets a display time of endoscopic images displayed by the playback processing unit on the display device in the order of imaging. A display time measurement unit measures the display time of each endoscopic image. A time information storage unit stores information related to the display time measured by the display time measurement unit. An acknowledgment unit acknowledges a user operation input. The playback processing unit causes the display device to display the endoscopic image in accordance with the user operation input acknowledged by the acknowledgment unit. The time information storage unit stores information related to a cumulative display time of each endoscopic image.

Abstract: A connection detection unit detects that a receiver is connected that is capable of recording an image data group captured by a capsule endoscope. A provision unit provides a plurality of pieces of subject information to a plurality of receivers detected to be connected.

Abstract: For each finding, a finding image recorder records as a finding image an endoscopic image captured in the past. A compression processing unit performs a compression process on an endoscopic image captured by a capsule endoscope so as to generate a compressed image. A similarity determination unit determines, when the compression processing unit performs a compression process on the endoscopic image, whether or not the endoscopic image is similar to a finding image recorded in the finding image recorder. When the endoscopic image is determined to be similar to the finding image by the similarity determination unit, the compression processing unit adds predetermined information to the compressed image.

Abstract: An inspection management apparatus includes: a schedule generation unit that, based on a scheduled start date and time of examination, a scheduled start date and time of observation, a predictive transfer time of image data from a receiving device to an inspection management apparatus, and a predictive image processing time for each type of image processing, calculates an image transfer start date and time from the receiving device to the inspection management apparatus, and calculates an image processing start date and time of the transferred image data; and a control unit that starts acquisition of the image data transmitted from the receiving device when the image transfer start date and time comes, and causes, when the image processing start date and time comes, an image processing unit to perform specified image processing on the image data that the transfer has been started on the image transfer start date and time.
