Abstract
An endoscope apparatus determines whether a first instruction input by an operation section is detected, performs first operation control on a bending section when determining that the first instruction input is detected, determines whether a second instruction input by a touch panel is detected, and performs second operation control different from the first operation control on the bending section when determining that the second instruction input is detected.
Claims11
An endoscope apparatus comprising:
- a display device configured to display an endoscopic image obtained by picking up an image of an object with an image pickup section;
- a touch panel provided in the display device;
- an insertion section including a bendable bending section;
- an operation section including at least one operation device;
- and
- a processor, wherein
- the processor determines whether a first instruction input by the operation section is detected,
- performs first operation control on the bending section when determining that the first instruction input is detected,
- determines whether a second instruction input by the touch panel is detected, and
- performs second operation control different from the first operation control on the bending section when determining that the second instruction input is detected.
An operation control method for an endoscope apparatus comprising:
- determining whether a first instruction input by an operation section including at least one operation device is detected;
- performing first operation control on a bendable bending section provided in an insertion section when determining that the first instruction input is detected;
- determining whether a second instruction input by a touch panel provided in a display device configured to display an endoscopic image obtained by picking up an image of an object with an image pickup section is detected;
- and
- performing second operation control different from the first operation control on the bending section when determining that the second instruction input is detected.
A storage medium having an operation control program for an endoscope apparatus stored therein, the operation control program causing a computer to execute:
- a code for determining whether a first instruction input by an operation section is detected;
- a code for performing first operation control on a bending section when determining that the first instruction input is detected;
- a code for determining whether a second instruction input by a touch panel is detected;
- and
- a code for performing second operation control different from the first operation control on the bending section when determining that the second instruction input is detected.
