Abstract
A method for remotely supporting a surgery assistant robot may include: receiving at least one piece of operation information concerning an operation of the surgery assistant robot, by a server device that performs a remote support for the surgery assistant robot; and transmitting, in response to a predetermined event, at least one of a sound, an image, or a text from the server device to at least one of the surgery assistant robot or a terminal device.
Claims23
A method of remotely supporting a surgery assistant robot, comprising:
- receiving at least one piece of operation information concerning an operation of the surgery assistant robot, by a server device via an external network that performs a remote support for the surgery assistant robot during the operation thereof, wherein the server device is located in a facility different from a medical facility where the surgery assistant robot is located;
- storing the operation information in a storage data-communicably connected to the server device;
- detecting an abnormality in the surgery assistant robot, or an abnormal situation in the vicinity of the surgery assistant robot, based on the at least one piece of operation information;
- establishing, in response to a request for bidirectional communication transmitted from the surgery assistant robot or a terminal device in the medical facility where the surgery assistant robot is located, based on detecting the abnormality;
- or in response to detecting the abnormality or the abnormal situation by the server device, a bidirectional communication between the server device and at least one of the surgery assistant robot or the terminal device to perform the remote support for the surgery assistant robot during the operation thereof;
- transmitting data generated by processing the operation information, using the established bidirectional communication, from the server device to at least one of the surgery assistant robot or the terminal device via the external network to perform the remote support;
- and
- storing, in the storage, during the period in which the bidirectional communication is established, the transmitted data as a log of the bidirectional communication.

A remote support system comprising:
- a server device;
- and
- a storage data-communicably connected to the server device, wherein
- the server device receives operation information via an external network concerning an operation of a surgery assistant robot during the operation thereof and stores the operation information in the storage,
- in response to a request for bidirectional communication received from at least one of the surgery assistant robot or a terminal device in a medical facility in which the surgery assistant robot is installed;
- or in response to detecting an abnormality in the surgery assistant robot or an abnormal situation in the vicinity of the surgery assistant robot from the operation information, the server device establishes bidirectional communication between at least one of the surgery assistant robot or the terminal device to perform a remote support for the surgery assistant robot during the operation thereof,
- the server device transmits data generated by processing the operation information, using the bidirectional communication, to at least one of the surgery assistant robot or the terminal device via the external network to perform the remote support,
- the storage stores, during the period in which the bidirectional communication is established, the transmitted data as a log of the bidirectional communication, and
- the server device is located in a facility different from the medical facility.
