Capsule Type Endoscope Control System

A capsule type endoscope control system for diagnosing digestive organs in a human body comprising:

• a medical capsule equipped with at least one permanent magnet, Hall sensors and a camera to diagnose the digestive organs, comprising a wireless transmission circuit for transmitting a series of signals to outside of the body;
• a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) rotary joint unit for rotating an external permanent magnet in at least two directions, the external permanent magnet applying magnetic forces to the at least one permanent magnets provided in the capsule;
• a distance sensor attached to a lower end of the multi-DOF rotary joint unit, for measuring a distance between the external permanent magnet and a surface of the human body;
• a cartesian coordinate robot for moving the external permanent magnet and the multi-DOF rotary joint unit;
• a bed for supporting the human body, the bed being able to roll within a certain degree;
• and
• a remote control unit outside the human body for controlling operations of the multi-DOF rotary joint unit, the bed and the cartesian coordinate robot, thereby moving to any position, rotating or stopping the capsule in the human body.

A capsule type endoscope control system for diagnosing and/or treating digestive organs in a human body comprising:

• a medical capsule equipped with at least one permanent magnet, Hall sensors, a medicine supplying unit and a camera to diagnose and/or treat the digestive organs, comprising a wireless transmission circuit for transmitting a series of signals to outside of the body;
• a multi-degree of freedom (DOF) rotary joint unit for rotating an external permanent magnet in at least two directions, the external permanent magnet applying magnetic forces to the at least one permanent magnets provided in the capsule;
