Abstract
One embodiment provides a system, method, and wireless endoscope for performing internal imaging. A first portion of a wireless endoscope including at least a lens and a light emitter for physical connection to a second portion of the wireless endoscope is received. The first portion is interchangeable. The first portion is inserted into a body while the second portion remains outside the body. The wireless endoscope is powered on in response to receiving user input from a user. A distal end proximate the lens is illuminated utilizing a light in communication with the light emitter. Video inside the body is captured utilizing a camera in communication with the lens. The video is wireless communicated to a receiver associated with a display.

A method for performing internal imaging, comprising:
- receiving a first portion of a wireless endoscope including at least a lens and light emitter for physical connection to a second portion of the wireless endoscope, wherein the first portion is interchangeable, and wherein the first portion is inserted into a body while the second portion remains outside the body;
- powering on the wireless endoscope in response to receiving user input from a user;
- illuminating a distal end proximate the lens utilizing a light in communication with the light emitter;
- capturing video inside the body utilizing a camera in communication with the lens;
- and
- wirelessly communicating the video to a receiver associated with a display.
A method for performing internal imaging, comprising:
- receiving a first portion of a wireless endoscope including at least a lens and light emitter for physical connection to a second portion of the wireless endoscope including at least a transceiver and a rechargeable battery;
- powering on a light and a camera in response to user input;
- illuminating a distal end proximate the lens utilizing light associated with the light emitter;
- capturing video utilizing a camera in communication with the lens, wherein the first portion of the wireless endoscope is inserted into a body while the second portion of the wireless endoscope remains outside the body;
- and
- wirelessly communicating the video to a receiver associated with a display utilized to display the video.
A method for performing internal imaging, comprising:
- receiving a first portion of the wireless endoscope including a lens and light for connection to a second portion of the wireless endoscope, wherein the first portion configured for insertion into the body is 4 millimeters in diameter or less and utilized to visualize internal portions of a body;
- receiving a rechargeable battery for electrical connection to the second portion;
- powering on the light and a camera in response to user input;
- illuminating a distal portion proximate the lens utilizing the light, wherein neither the first end nor the second nor the second end are ingested in the body;
- capturing video utilizing a camera in communication with the lens;
- formatting the video for wireless communication to the receiver associated with the display device in response to capturing the video;
- wirelessly communicating the video from a transceiver of the wireless endoscope to a receiver in communication with a displaying device utilized to display the video.
