Abstract
A history information obtaining unit obtains information about a use history of an endoscope. An estimating unit makes an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until the present time based on this information. A displaying unit displays a ratio of a result of the estimation made by the estimating unit to the degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
Claims13
A system providing information about an endoscope, comprising:
- a history information obtaining unit obtaining information about a use history of an endoscope;
- an estimating unit making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the obtained information;
- and
- a displaying unit displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
An endoscope, comprising
- a storing unit storing information about a use history of the endoscope itself, wherein
- the information stored in said storing unit is transmitted to a system making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the information, and displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
A method providing information about an endoscope, comprising:
- obtaining information about a use history of an endoscope;
- making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the obtained information;
- and
- displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
A computer-readable storage medium on which is recorded a program, by being executed by a computer, for causing the computer to execute a process for providing information about an endoscope, the process comprising:
- obtaining information about a use history of an endoscope;
- making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the obtained information;
- and
- displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
A computer data signal embodied in a carrier wave and representing a program, by being executed by a computer, for causing the computer to execute a process for providing information about an endoscope, the process comprising:
- obtaining information about a use history of an endoscope;
- making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the obtained information;
- and
- displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
A system providing information about an endoscope, comprising:
- history information obtaining means for obtaining information about a use history of an endoscope;
- estimating means for making an estimation of a secular change in the endoscope from its use start until a present time based on the obtained information;
- and
- displaying means for displaying a ratio of a result of the estimation to a degree of the secular change, which is preset for the endoscope.
