  • Patent number: 11348684
    Abstract: Provided is a surgical support system including: a camera installed in an operating room; and an information processing apparatus including processing circuitry configured to compare reference data that is related to at least one reference person or reference device in the operating room and that is generated from observation of the operating room, with first feature data related to a first person or a first device extracted from a first image captured by the camera installed in the operating room.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: May 31, 2022
    Assignee: Sony Corporation
    Inventors: Seiji Wada, Kunihiko Akiyoshi
  • Publication number: 20220008161
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an information processing device, a presentation method, and a surgical system that make it possible to suppress the occurrence of medical accidents. A voice recognition unit counts, through voice recognition, the remaining number of surgical tools existing in the body of the patient and used for a surgical operation, an image recognition unit counts, through image recognition, the remaining number of the surgical tools existing in the body of the patient, and a presentation control unit presents a predetermined warning when a difference arises between a first remaining number counted through the voice recognition and a second remaining number counted through the image recognition. The present disclosure can be applied to surgical systems.

  • Patent number: 7324858
    Abstract: A replay apparatus calculates an exact play time even during a fast-forward replay operation and a rewind and replay operation. A demultiplexer demultiplexes an input stream into an audio elementary stream, and stores ES data of the audio elementary stream in a data buffer on a frame by frame basis. The demultiplexer calculates the number of main data frames contained in a first frame to each of the frames on a frame by frame basis, and stores the number of main data frames in an ES data information buffer. A decoder calculates a total play time based on the number of main data frames from the ES data information buffer. The invention is applicable to audio and visual apparatuses.
