Abstract
A video signal generating apparatus is disclosed which includes: a camera configured to generate a video signal; an operating device configured to operate at least either the camera or an apparatus configured to receive the video signal; a text data generating device configured to generate text data including a meaningful term in response to the operation performed on the operating device; and a text data inserting device configured to insert the text data generated by the text data generating device into the video signal in a corresponding manner.
Claims12
A medical video network system comprising:
- an endoscope including:
- an image sensor configured to output an endoscopic video signal;
- and
- circuitry configured to generate metadata written in extensible markup language format in response to an operation of the endoscope and to add the generated metadata to the endoscopic video signal;
- and
- one or more processors, coupled to the endoscopic device through a network, including at least a video recorder, each of the one or more processors including circuitry configured to:
- receive the endoscopic video signal with the generated metadata added to the endoscopic video signal;
- interpret the generated metadata;
- and
- process the endoscopic video signal based on the interpreted metadata,
- wherein processing the endoscopic video signal includes the circuitry being further configured to record the endoscopic video signal in the video recorder based on the interpreted metadata.
A method for processing a video signal from an endoscope in a medical video network system having a plurality of processors, coupled to the endoscope through a network, including at least a video recorder, the method comprising:
- receiving an endoscopic video signal produced by an image sensor in the endoscope;
- receiving metadata written in extensible markup language generated in response to an operation of the endoscopic device;
- adding the generated metadata to the endoscopic video signal
- interpreting the received metadata;
- and
- processing the received endoscopic video signal based on the interpreted metadata,
- wherein processing the endoscopic video signal includes recording the endoscopic video signal in the video recorder based on the interpreted metadata.
