Abstract
An information presentation system including a tubular system including a flexible tubular insertion portion configured to be inserted into an insertion subject, a storage medium configured to store a plurality of pieces of presentation information recognizable by a non-operator, a non-operator presentation display configured to present information in an output form recognizable by the non-operator and a processor including hardware, the processor configured to perform a selection of presentation information to be presented to the non-operator presentation display, and switch a presentation period of the selected presentation information to the non-operator presentation display.
Claims16
An information presentation system comprising:
- a tubular system comprising a flexible tubular insertion portion configured to be inserted into an insertion subject by an insertion operation of an operator;
- a storage medium configured to store a plurality of pieces of presentation information configured for display to a patient as a non-operator;
- a non-operator presentation display configured to present the plurality of pieces of presentation information to the non-operator;
- and
- a state detection circuit configured to detect at least one of a state of the tubular system and a state of the insertion subject;
- a presentation information generation circuit configured to generate specification information which specifies selection and a presentation time of the presentation information to be presented to the non-operator presentation display based on at least one of the states detected by the state detection circuit;
- and
- a presentation information selection and switching circuit configured to perform switching of the selection and the presentation time of the presentation information read from the storage medium in accordance with the specification information generated by the presentation information generation circuit,
- wherein the presentation information generation circuit determines a priority and a duplication possibility, based on comparison between attribute information of newly-acquired presentation information acquired based on a new state detected by the state detection circuit and attribute information of already-presented presentation information;
- maintains the already-presented presentation information if the priority of the newly-acquired presentation information has a lower priority;
- generates specification information by adding the newly-acquired presentation information to the already-presented presentation information if the newly-acquired presentation information has a higher priority and the duplication is possible;
- and completes the presentation of the already-presented presentation information and generates the specification information based on the newly-acquired presentation information if the newly-acquired presentation information has a higher priority and the duplication is not possible.

An information presentation method comprising:
- prestoring a plurality of pieces of presentation information configured for display to a patient as a non-operator who is not an operator when a flexible tubular insertion portion is to be inserted into an insertion subject by the operator;
- presenting the presentation information to the non-operator via a non-operator presentation display;
- detecting at least one of a state of the tubular system and a state of the insertion subject;
- generating specification information which specifies selection and a presentation time of the presentation information to be presented to the non-operator presentation display based on at least one of the detected states;
- performing switching of the selection and the presentation time of the presentation information read from the storage medium in accordance with the generated specification information;
- determining a priority and a duplication possibility, based on comparison between attribute information of newly-acquired presentation information acquired based on a detected new state and attribute information of already-presented presentation information;
- maintaining the already-presented presentation information if the priority of the acquired presentation information has a lower priority;
- generating specification information by adding the newly-acquired presentation information to the already-presented presentation information if the newly-acquired presentation information has a higher priority and the duplication is possible;
- and completing the presentation of the already-presented presentation information and generating the specification information based on the newly-acquired presentation information if the newly-acquired presentation information has a higher priority and the duplication is not possible.
