Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A medical system includes: a plurality of monitors each configured to display a video signal of a different type; a touch panel configured to display an operation screen where a selecting operation is performed; a video output discrimination portion configured to discriminate a monitor capable of displaying the video signal of the peripheral device for which the selecting operation is performed by referring to a table in which the peripheral device is associated with the monitor capable of displaying the video signal; a data holding portion configured to hold a monitor identification video for identifying the monitor capable of displaying the video signal and information on the corresponding monitor; and a peripheral device control portion configured to perform control so as to display the monitor identification video held in the data holding portion on the discriminated monitor, depending on a discrimination result of the video output discrimination portion.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A medical system comprising: a plurality of monitors each configured to display a video signal of a different type; a touch panel configured to display an operation screen where a selecting operation of an output destination of a video signal of a peripheral device is performed; a video signal discrimination portion configured to discriminate, among the plurality of monitors, a monitor capable of displaying the video signal of the peripheral device selected by the touch panel by referring to a table in which the peripheral device is associated with the monitor capable of displaying the video signal; a monitor information holding portion configured to hold a monitor identification video for identifying the monitor capable of displaying the video signal and information on the corresponding monitor; and a control portion configured to perform control so as to display the monitor identification video held in the monitor information holding portion on the discriminated monitor, depending on a discrimination result of the video signal discrimination portion. 2. The medical system according to claim 1 , wherein the touch panel includes a monitor identification confirmation button configured to confirm a type of the monitor, and the control portion displays the monitor identification video on the discriminated monitor when the monitor identification confirmation button is depressed. 3. The medical system according to claim 2 , wherein the control portion displays the monitor identification video on the discriminated monitor in order at a predetermined interval when the monitor identification confirmation button is depressed. 4. The medical system according to claim 1 , wherein, in a case that the monitor can switch a plurality of display modes, the control portion outputs a control signal for switching the display modes to the monitor when displaying the monitor identification video.
