Abstract
A signal processing device includes: a connection detector that detects whether an endoscope including one or more operation members is connected; an input unit to which an operation state signal is input from an external input device including one or more buttons that correspond to the one or more operation members included in the endoscope when the endoscope is not connected; and an operation execution unit that executes an operation according to the operation state signal that is input to the input unit.
Claims12
A signal processing device comprising:
- a connection detector that detects whether an endo scope including one or more operation members is connected to the signal processing device, each of the one or more operation members corresponding to a function performed by the endoscope;
- an input unit to which an operation state signal that corresponds to one of the one or more operation members is input (1) from the endoscope when the connection detector detects that the endoscope is connected and (2) from an external input device including one or more buttons that correspond to the one or more operation members included in the endoscope when the endoscope is not connected;
- an operation execution unit that executes an operation according to the operation state signal that is input to the input unit;
- and
- a reporting unit that reports an operation result of the operation execution unit.
A signal processing method performed by a signal processing device, the signal processing method comprising:
- detecting whether an endoscope including one or more operation members is connected to the signal processing device, each of the one or more operation members corresponding to a function performed by the endoscope;
- receiving an operation state signal from (1) the endoscope when the endoscope is connected to the signal processing device and (2) an external input device including one or more buttons that correspond to the one or more operation members included in the endoscope when the endoscope is not connected;
- executing an operation according to the received operation state signal;
- and
- reporting an operation result.
