Surgery system, control method, surgical apparatus, and program

Abstract

The present technology relates to a surgery system, a control method, a surgical apparatus, and a program that allow easy updating of a function of a medical apparatus. A configuration includes an information processor, and a surgical apparatus. The information processor includes a storage section storing an application, and a transmission section transmitting, in response to a request from the surgical apparatus, the application stored in the storage section. The surgical apparatus includes a reception section receiving the application transmitted by the transmission section, and an execution section executing the application received by the reception section.

1 . A surgery system comprising:
 an information processor; and   a surgical apparatus,   the information processor including
 a storage section storing an application, and 
 a transmission section transmitting, in response to a request from the surgical apparatus, the application stored in the storage section, and 
   the surgical apparatus including
 a reception section receiving the application transmitted by the transmission section, and 
 an execution section executing the application received by the reception section. 
   
     
     
         2 . The surgery system according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the storage section stores an application per clinical department, and   the execution section executes the application, to thereby be used as the surgical apparatus having a function suitable for the clinical department.   
     
     
         3 . The surgery system according to  claim 2 , wherein the surgical apparatus accepts a selection of the clinical department, and requests the information processor to transmit an application corresponding to the accepted clinical department. 
     
     
         4 . The surgery system according to  claim 2 , wherein the information processor accepts a selection of the clinical department, and transmits, to the surgical apparatus, an application corresponding to the accepted clinical department. 
     
     
         5 . The surgery system according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the surgical apparatus recognizes an apparatus that is coupled, and transmits information regarding the recognized apparatus to the information processor, and   the information processor transmits, to the surgical apparatus, an application for the clinical department corresponding to the information regarding the apparatus.   
     
     
         6 . The surgery system according to  claim 1 , wherein the surgical apparatus includes a rigid endoscope. 
     
     
         7 . The surgery system according to  claim 1 , wherein the information processor is provided outside an operating room in which the surgical apparatus is disposed. 
     
     
         8 . A control method, for a surgery system that includes an information processor and a surgical apparatus, the method comprising:
 causing the information processor to
 store an application per clinical department, and 
 transmit the stored application in response to a request from the surgical apparatus; and 
   causing the surgical apparatus to
 receive the application transmitted by the information processor, and 
 execute the received application. 
   
     
     
         9 . A surgical apparatus, comprising:
 an acquisition section that acquires an application per clinical department from an information processor that stores the application; and   an execution section that executes the application acquired by the acquisition section.   
     
     
         10 . The surgical apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the execution section executes the application, to thereby be used as the surgical apparatus having a function suitable for the clinical department. 
     
     
         11 . The surgical apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the surgical apparatus accepts a selection of the clinical department, and requests the information processor to transmit an application corresponding to the accepted clinical department. 
     
     
         12 . The surgical apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein the surgical apparatus acquires an application corresponding to the accepted clinical department, in the information processor. 
     
     
         13 . The surgical apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising a coupled apparatus recognition section that recognizes an apparatus that is coupled and acquires information regarding the recognized apparatus, wherein
 the surgical apparatus transmits, to the information processor, the information regarding the apparatus acquired by the coupled apparatus recognition section.   
     
     
         14 . The surgical apparatus according to  claim 9 , further comprising an image pickup unit that captures an image of an affected area. 
     
     
         15 . A control method, comprising:
 acquiring an application per clinical department from an information processor that stores the application; and   executing the acquired application to thereby execute processing suitable for the clinical department.   
     
     
         16 . A program that causes a computer, which controls a medical apparatus, to execute processing, the processing including:
 acquiring an application per clinical department from an information processor that stores the application; and   executing the acquired application to thereby execute processing suitable for the clinical department.
