  • Patent number: 11343464
    Abstract: When one or multiple video files that correspond to at least a part of preset sections are read out from a storage unit, a length of time of a section overlap, which represents a time slot that overlaps the section among from one or more time slots over which the read video file(s) are recorded, is calculated, and the video file(s) that corresponds to the time code contained in the section overlap having been subjected to calculation are clipped and stored in a predetermined storage area, the medical video processing system can carry out, when the length of time of the section overlap (for example, 32 minutes and 10 seconds) exceeds a predetermined length of time (for example 30 minutes), a shortening process that shortens the length of time of the video file(s) to be stored in the predetermined storage area, down to a predetermined length of time or shorter.

  • Publication number: 20220046326
    Abstract: Provided are a medical video distribution system and a medical video distribution method, capable of stably streaming video output from medical devices. A server device executes an editing process (step S206) editing video data output from origin(s) designated by step S201, on a basis of correspondence designated by step S205, in display area(s) contained in a layout designated by step S203; and a first distribution process (step S209) streaming the edited video data towards display terminal(s), and, when there are plurality of designated origins, synthesizes in the editing process a plurality of video data output from the origins to produce a single synthesized video data having a data volume nearly equal to that of the video data output from a single origin.

  • Publication number: 20200337798
    Abstract: A medical safety system that is more convenient than the related art in view of user-friendliness is provided. The medical safety system includes a server apparatus 120 and a mobile terminal 132. The server apparatus 120 stores a panoramic image generated by imaging an operating room for surgery in a wide-angle manner. The mobile terminal 132 displays a partial image that is part of the panoramic image and identifies, by performing image recognition processing for the panoramic image, an operative field imaged in the panoramic image. The mobile terminal 132 performs, in response to a predetermined impetus, display position adjustment for adjusting the partial image to include the identified operative field.
