  • Publication number: 20150066523
    Abstract: Disclosure herein is related to a telemedicine information system. The telemedicine information system includes a monitoring end which receives the physiological signals generated by one or more physiological sensors disposed at the client end over a network. The medical staff uses monitoring terminal device at the monitoring end. The monitoring terminal device is connected with a monitoring server for acquiring the physiological signals since the server periodically retrieves and records the signals generated by the client end's sensors. The signals will be converted to the meaningful information allowing the medical staff to monitor the remote client's physiological condition. The claimed system achieves an efficient remote medical process since the person at the monitoring end may anytime acknowledge the client's condition.

  • Publication number: 20120242817
    Abstract: Disclosed are a system and a method for identifying the pathological image based on the interested regions of the pathological tissue image. In the system, a memory stores the instructions for performing the method. The step in the method includes using an optical microscope to capture an image of a pathological section, and one of the observation regions is selected from the pathological section image as to be an original symptom image. Then a region of interest (ROI) is selected from the original symptom image. For generating a magnified tissue image with a matching magnification, the ROI is enlarged. A scan operation is performed onto the magnified tissue image for conducting a comparison process. Coordinates for identifying the magnified tissue image in the original symptom image can be acquired by the comparison process.

  • Patent number: 7702939
    Abstract: A method and system for controlling computer operation time is provided for counting how long the time for using the computer lasts. The steps of the time counting method are as following. First step is counting an operation time period for using the computer at the computer powered on; second step is determining the operation time period equal to a predetermined operating-time limit; third step is controlling the computer into an interrupted operating state when the operation time period is equal to the predetermined operating-time limit, wherein an interrupted time period for the computer stayed in the interrupted operating state is counted; fourth step is determining the interrupted time period equal to a predetermined suspension time; and fifth step is controlling the computer back to a normal operating state when the interrupted time period is equal to the predetermined suspension time, wherein the operation time period is re-counted.

  • Publication number: 20100076789
    Abstract: A system for remote consultation via a remote mobile communication apparatus has a medical equipment device, a medical server and a remote mobile communication apparatus. A method for remote consultation employs the medical equipment device to produce the first medical report and store it into the medical server, transmits the first medical report with the medical server to the remote mobile communication apparatus via a wireless communication network, browses the first medical report, increases, modifies or varies the medical image or medical text of the first medical report to form the second medical report, and uses the mobile communication apparatus to send the second medical report back to the medical server via the wireless communication network. The remote consultation can be reached.

  • Publication number: 20090202123
    Abstract: A method for remotely controlling medical apparatuses and the method thereof are proposed. The medical apparatuses are used to take internal images of the human body, and have control command sets that comply with the DICOM specifications. In this method, a server is first built and connected to the medical apparatuses. A remote device is then built and connected to the server. Next, the remote device executes a remote control program to generate at least one DICOM control command, which is then sent to the server. The server then executes a communication program to perform control communications with the medical apparatuses. The medical apparatuses can thus be controlled to take images of the inside of human body for generating of digital image data complying with the DICOM specifications. The object of remote control for integrating medical apparatuses can thus be accomplished.
