Abstract: A system controller can predict, when a first operation is performed on one device of a plurality of devices including a medical instrument, a subsequent operation that is the operation that occurs most frequently after the first operation based on an operation history information table in which past operation information is recorded for each procedure performed on the plurality of devices. This information can be displayed on an operation screen of an operation panel apparatus.

Abstract: A centralized controller includes a recording unit, a judgement unit, a processing unit and an execution unit. The judgement unit reads out information on a plurality of kinds of operation from the recording unit and performs scene correspondence judgement as to whether or not each of the plurality of kinds of operation is operation corresponding to the scene for each of scenes of a surgery defined in advance. The processing unit generates at least part of setting values of a plurality of pieces of controlled equipment from a plurality of kinds of operation which are respectively judged as the operation corresponding to the scene through the scene correspondence judgement and records the setting values in the recording unit. The execution unit collectively sets the setting values for one or more pieces of controlled equipment for each of the scenes of the surgery.

Abstract: A centralized control apparatus is a centralized control apparatus configured to operate in a centralized manner, one or more operated devices used in a medical action, and includes a specification section configured to specify at least one of an operator and a procedure, an end operation section configured to receive an end operation to end the centralized operation of the operated device when the medical action ends, a recording section configured to record information on an operated device for which an end operation is necessary in association with at least one of the operator and the procedure, and a control section configured to, when the end operation section receives the end operation, acquire and execute setting items of an end process on the operated device linked by the recording section based on the specification result of the specification section.

Abstract: In a system for endoscopic surgery, a storage unit stores a command for controlling a peripheral device and whether or not the command is valid or invalid in an associated manner for each operator and each procedure of an endoscopic surgery. A specification unit receives specification of an operator and a procedure. A conversion unit recognizes an input voice, and converts the voice into a voice command. A determination unit refers to the storage unit, and determines whether or not the voice command obtained by the conversion unit is identical to a command that has been set to be valid for the operator and the procedure specified by the specification unit. A transmission unit halts a transmission process to a peripheral device that corresponds to a command that has been determined to be invalid by the determination unit.
