The embodiment provides a control method of a medical apparatus. Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a control method of a medical apparatus according to an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 1, the flowchart includes the following steps:
step S101, the portable terminal detects whether a signal carrying preset identification information exists in the surrounding environment.
When the operator is in the scanning room, the operator can closely observe whether the movement position is proper, so that the part components of the medical equipment can be controlled to perform complex movement, such as the swinging position of a patient. When an operator is in an operation room, because whether the movement positions of partial components in the medical equipment are proper or not cannot be observed in a close range, only the partial components can be controlled to move simply, for example, after scanning is finished, a sickbed and a scanning equipment rack are controlled to move simply to release a patient; or controlling the switch of the laser lamp; or to control the scanning workflow of the patient. The operation room scene and the scanning room scene are two different interaction scenes, and if the same interaction mode is used for controlling the medical equipment in different interaction scenes, the operation room scene and the scanning room scene are obviously unreasonable, and the control efficiency is low. In view of the above problem, the embodiment provides a detection function in the portable terminal to detect whether there is a signal carrying preset identification information in the surrounding environment, wherein different preset identification information corresponds to different interactive scenes, so as to automatically identify the interactive scenes according to the detected result,
and step S102, under the condition that a signal carrying preset identification information is detected, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface of the portable terminal into a graphical user interface corresponding to the preset identification information, so that a user can control the medical equipment corresponding to the preset identification information through the graphical user interface.
When the portable terminal detects a signal carrying preset identification information in the surrounding environment, the portable terminal extracts the preset identification information in the signal, and switches a Graphical User Interface (GUI) according to the preset identification information, so as to provide an interaction mode suitable for the current interaction scene for an operator. For example, when an operator is in a scanning room, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface of the portable terminal into an interface suitable for interaction in a scene of the scanning room, so as to provide an interaction mode between scanning rooms for the operator; when the operator is in the operation room, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface into an interface suitable for interaction in the scene of the operation room, and provides an interaction mode of the operation room for the operator.
Through the steps, the problem of low control efficiency of the medical equipment in the related technology is solved, and the control efficiency of the medical equipment is improved.
In step S101, the portable terminal detects whether a signal carrying preset Identification information exists in a surrounding environment through a wireless communication technology, where the wireless communication technology includes, but is not limited to, a Near Field Communication (NFC) technology, a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, a bluetooth communication technology, an infrared communication technology, and a Zigbee technology.
The following description will be made by taking NFC technology and RFID technology as examples.
Whether the NFC technology or the RFID technology is adopted, the portable terminal may serve as an initiator, transmit a radio frequency signal in the surrounding environment, and transmit data to a target device at a preset speed. The target device may be mounted on the medical device or in the surrounding environment of the medical device. For example, when the target device is in a scene in a scanning room, the target device may be mounted on a rack of the scanning device, or may be mounted at any position inside the scanning room; when the target device is in the operating room scene, the target device can be installed on the control device, and can also be installed at any position inside the operating room.
The present embodiment will be described by taking a near field communication technology as an example. The target device may not generate a radio frequency signal but use a load modulation technique to transmit data back to the initiating device at the same speed. Or, the initiator and the target both generate their own radio frequency signals and perform identification by receiving radio frequency signals of each other. The data or the radio frequency signal generated by the target device carries preset identification information, the portable terminal extracts the preset identification information by reading back the data or the radio frequency signal, and the interactive scene can be identified according to the preset identification information.
Based on a principle similar to the near field communication technology, the portable terminal may also detect whether a signal carrying preset identification information exists in the surrounding environment using a radio frequency identification technology. The portable terminal can be used as an initiating device to transmit radio frequency signals with preset power in the surrounding environment to form an electromagnetic field. When the target device is in an area covered by the electromagnetic field, the target device is triggered to send data stored in the target device to the portable terminal, wherein the data carries preset identification information. The portable terminal extracts the preset identification information by reading back the data, and the interactive scene can be identified according to the preset identification information.
Generally, the effective distance of signal transmission of the NFC technology does not exceed 10 cm; RFID technology has an effective distance for signal transmission of between several meters and several tens of meters. In comparison, the NFC technology has higher security, and can also ensure the signal receiving unicity of the portable terminal. Therefore, in this embodiment, the NFC technology is preferentially adopted to detect whether a signal carrying the preset identification information exists in the surrounding ring.
In some embodiments, the portable terminal may also serve as a target device, and detect whether a signal carrying preset identification information exists in the surrounding environment by sensing a radio frequency signal emitted by the surrounding environment.
In step S102, the preset identification information includes first preset identification information corresponding to the inter-scanning scene and second preset identification information corresponding to the inter-operation scene. How the portable terminal switches the graphic user interface between the inter-scan scene and the inter-operation scene will be described below.
The first case of switching graphical user interfaces: and under the condition that the signal carrying the first preset identification information is detected, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface of the portable terminal into a first graphical user interface corresponding to the inter-scanning scene.
Second case of switching graphical user interfaces: and under the condition that the signal carrying the second preset identification information is detected, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface of the portable terminal into a second graphical user interface corresponding to the operating room scene.
In some of these embodiments, there is also a third case of switching graphical user interfaces: and under the condition that the signal carrying the preset identification information is not detected, the portable terminal switches the graphical user interface of the portable terminal to a third graphical user interface corresponding to a handheld scene, wherein the handheld scene refers to a scene in which an operator is neither in a scanning room nor in an operating room.
When the operator is in the operating room but wants to observe the inter-scan scene, in some embodiments, the portable terminal may display the inter-scan monitoring video corresponding to the medical device through the second graphical user interface, so as to facilitate the operator to observe the inter-scan scene.
When the operator is neither in the scan room nor in the operation room but wants to observe the scan room scene and/or the operation room scene, in some embodiments, the portable terminal may display the monitoring video of the scan room and/or the operation room corresponding to the medical device through the third graphical user interface, so as to facilitate the operator to observe the scan room scene and/or the operation room scene.
In some embodiments, the portable terminal displays corresponding work information through the switched graphical user interface; the portable terminal receives input information of a user through the switched graphical user interface, generates a control instruction for controlling the medical equipment according to the input information, and sends the control instruction to the control device of the medical equipment.

Considering that the processing speed and the storage capacity of the portable terminal are limited, and meanwhile, in order to guarantee the safety of control, the control device of the medical equipment of the portable terminal establishes communication connection, and the control device acquires the working information of the medical equipment, such as a sickbed code, the inclination angle of a scanning equipment rack and an exposure state indication; and controlling the medical device by the control means.
