Abstract
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus which is connectable to a wireless probe that acquires first data by scanning an object is provided. The ultrasound diagnosis apparatus includes a controller which is configured to recognize an occurrence of a first event, to automatically terminate a first communication connection to the wireless probe via a first communication network, and to control an automatic start of a second communication connection to an external apparatus via the first communication network; and a communicator which is configured to exchange data with the wireless probe and/or with the external apparatus by using the first communication network under the control of the controller.
Claims20
An ultrasound diagnosis apparatus which is connectable to a wireless probe that acquires first data by scanning an object, the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus comprising:
- a controller configured to recognize an occurrence of a first event, to automatically terminate a first communication connection to the wireless probe via a first communication network, and to control an automatic start of a second communication connection to an external apparatus via the first communication network;
- and
- a communicator configured to exchange data with at least one from among the wireless probe and the external apparatus by using the first communication network under a control of the controller.
A communication connecting method which is performable by using an ultrasound diagnosis apparatus which is connectable to a wireless probe that acquires first data by scanning an object, the communication connecting method comprising:
- recognizing an occurrence of a first event, and automatically terminating a first communication connection to the wireless probe via a first communication network and automatically starting a second communication connection to an external apparatus via the first communication network;
- and
- exchanging data with at least one from among the wireless probe and the external apparatus via at least one from among the first communication connection and the second communication connection.
A method for using an ultrasound diagnosis information to sequentially communicate with each of a wireless probe and an external apparatus, the method comprising:
- executing a first communication connection with the wireless probe based on an operational status of at least one from among the wireless probe and the ultrasound diagnosis apparatus;
- and
- when the operational status of the wireless probe shifts from a first operational status to a second operational status, automatically terminating the first communication connection and automatically starting a second communication connection with the external apparatus.
