Abstract
A processing board mounted on a medical diagnostic apparatus, the medical diagnostic apparatus, and a method of controlling the medical diagnostic apparatus are provided. The processing board includes a sensor configured to sense at least one selected from the group consisting of an installation position, an installation direction, and a power consumption of the processing board. The processing board further includes a controller configured to set an identifier (ID) of the processing board based on an output signal of the sensor.
Claims23
A processing board mounted on a medical diagnostic apparatus, the processing board comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense, as an output value, at least one selected from the group consisting of an installation position, an installation direction, and a power consumption of the processing board;
- a storage configured to store one or more identifier (ID) values for identifying the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus, along with one or more output values of the sensor, the one or more output values respectively corresponding to the one or more ID values;
- a communication interface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- find, among the one or more ID values that are stored, an ID value corresponding to the output value that is sensed;
- set the ID value that is found, to identify the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- control the communication interface to transmit, to another processing board, the ID value that is set.
A medical diagnostic apparatus comprising:
- a processing board mounted on the medical diagnostic apparatus, the processing board being configured to:
- sense, as an output value, at least one selected from the group consisting of an installation position, an installation direction, and a power consumption of the processing board;
- store one or more identifier (ID) values for identifying the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus, along with one or more output values of a sensor, the one or more output values respectively corresponding to the one or more ID values;
- find, among the one or more ID values that are stored, an ID value corresponding to the output value that is sensed;
- set the ID value that is found, to identify the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- a main processing board configured to receive, from the processing board, the ID value that is set.
A method of controlling a medical diagnostic apparatus, the method comprising:
- sensing, as an output value, at least one selected from the group consisting of an installation position, an installation direction, and a power consumption of a processing board mounted on the medical diagnostic apparatus;
- storing one or more identifier (ID) values for identifying the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus, along with one or more output values of a sensor, the one or more output values respectively corresponding to the one or more ID values;
- finding, among the one or more ID values that are stored, an ID value corresponding to the output value that is sensed;
- setting the ID value that is found, to identify the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, to another processing board, the ID value that is set.
A processing board mounted on a medical diagnostic apparatus, the processing board comprising:
- a sensor configured to sense an output value of at least one among a direction of gravity, a direction of a magnetic force, a height from a floor, and a current of the processing board;
- a storage configured to store one or more identifier (II)) values for identifying the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus, along with one or more output values of the sensor, the one or more output values respectively corresponding to the one or more ID values;
- a communication interface;
- and
- a controller configured to:
- determine whether an installation error of the processing board occurs, based on the output value that is sensed;
- based on the installation error being determined to not occur, find, among the one or more ID values that are stored, an ID value corresponding to the output value that is sensed;
- set the ID value that is found, to identify the processing board in the medical diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- control the communication interface to transmit, to another processing board, the ID value that is set.
