Abstract
Provided is an ultrasound apparatus including a first display configured to display an ultrasound image; a control panel including a second display that is different from the first display and configured to display a plurality of control items related to the ultrasound image; and a controller configured to select at least one control item from among the plurality of control items based on a location of an input tool located on the second display, and to control the first display to display the selected at least one control item and an indicator representing the location of the input tool together with the ultrasound image.
Claims50
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- a first display configured to display an ultrasound image;
- a control panel comprising a second display other than the first display and configured to display a plurality of control items related to the ultrasound image;
- and
- a controller configured to select at least one control item from among the plurality of control items based on a location of an input tool located on the second display, and to control the first display to display the selected at least one control item and an indicator representing the location of the input tool together with the ultrasound image.
A method of providing information via an ultrasound apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying an ultrasound image on a first display;
- displaying a plurality of control items related to the ultrasound image on a second display included in a control panel;
- selecting at least one control item from among the plurality of control items, based on a location of an input tool located on the second display;
- and
- displaying the selected at least one control item and an indicator representing the location of the input tool on the first display, together with the ultrasound image.
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- a first display configured to display an ultrasound image;
- a control panel comprising a second display that is different from the first display and configured to display a plurality of control items related to the ultrasound image;
- and
- a controller configured to select a first control item from among the plurality of control items based on a location of an input tool touching the second display, determine a second display format that is different from a first display format in which the first control item is displayed on the second display, and control the first display to display the selected first control item in the second display format.
A method of providing information via an ultrasound apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying an ultrasound image on a first display;
- displaying a plurality of control items related to the ultrasound image on a second display included in a control panel;
- selecting a first control item from among the plurality of control items, based on a location of an input tool touching the second display;
- determining a second display format that is different from a first display format in which the first control item is displayed on the second display;
- and
- displaying the first control item in the second display format on the first display, together with the first control item.
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- a first display configured to display an ultrasound image;
- a control panel comprising a second display configured to display, on first region, a plurality of slide bars for adjusting gain values corresponding to depth sections of the ultrasound image;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first display to display a gain line together with the ultrasound image,
- wherein the gain line is determined by connecting gain values corresponding to locations of adjustment buttons on the plurality of slide bars based on a location of an input tool touching the second display.
A method of providing information via an ultrasound apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying an ultrasound image on a first display;
- displaying a plurality of slide bars for adjusting gain values corresponding to depth sections of the ultrasound image on a second display included in a control panel;
- and
- displaying a gain line on the first display together with the ultrasound image,
- wherein the gain line is determined by connecting gain values corresponding to locations of adjustment buttons on the plurality of slide bars based on a location of an input tool touching the second display.
An ultrasound apparatus comprising:
- a first display configured to display an ultrasound image;
- a control panel comprising a second display that is different from the first display and configured to display a first gain line for setting gain values corresponding to depth sections of the ultrasound image;
- and
- a controller configured to control the first display to display a second gain line together with the ultrasound image, based on a touch input touching the first gain line displayed on the second display,
- wherein the second gain line displayed on the first display corresponds to the first gain line displayed on the second display.
A method of providing information via an ultrasound apparatus, the method comprising:
- displaying an ultrasound image on a first display;
- displaying a first gain line for setting gain values corresponding to depth sections of the ultrasound image on a second display included in a control panel;
- and
- displaying a second gain line on the first display, together with the ultrasound image, based on a touch input on the first gain line displayed on the second display, wherein the second gain line displayed on the first display corresponds to the first gain line displayed on the second display.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor to perform:
- displaying an ultrasound image on a first display;
- displaying, on a second display of a control panel that is separate from the first display, a plurality of control items configured to control to adjust the ultrasound image;
- selecting at least one control item from among the plurality of control items based on a location of an input tool corresponding to the second display;
- and
- controlling the first display to display the selected at least one control item and an indicator representing the location of the input tool together with the ultrasound image.
