## Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile autoscope system including: a user terminal device including a camera configured to capture an image of a capture target; and a mobile autoscope detachably mounted on the user terminal device, and configured to emit each of spectral light, ultraviolet (UV) light, or white light to the capture target, wherein the user terminal device is configured to capture the capture target during the emission of spectral light, UV light, or white light to generate a spectral image, a UV excitation fluorescence image, or a three-dimensional (3D) shape image.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A mobile autoscope system comprising:

a lighting module including a spectral light source, a UV light source, and a white light source; and
an optical fiber configured to transmit light emitted from the spectral light source or the UV light source to the tip of the probe.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the UV light source includes a UV light emitting diode (LED) emitting light in a UV band, and
the mobile autoscope further includes
a first optical filter configured to bandpass filter light emitted from the UV LED, and provide filtered light to the optical fiber, and
a second optical filter configured to filter fluorescence light generated by the UV LED and transmit filtered fluorescence light to the camera.

### Claim 4 (depends on 2)

The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the spectral light source includes a plurality of narrowband LEDs having different center wavelengths.

### Claim 5 (depends on 2)

The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the white light source includes a plurality of white LEDs disposed at the tip of the probe.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the mobile autoscope further includes
a housing having a handle area which is able to be gripped by a user,
a gripping member configured to selectively adjusting a distance between a the mobile autoscope and the user terminal device by adjusting a distance between plurality of protruding members, and
a motor configured to control the distance between the plurality of protruding members.

### Claim 7 (depends on 2)

The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the mobile autoscope further includes
a button receiving a capture command for a target object; and
a communication device configured to transmit the received capture command to the user terminal device.

### Claim 8 (depends on 2)

The system as claimed in claim 2, wherein the mobile autoscope further includes a communication device configured to receive a capture command from the user terminal device, and
the mobile autoscope is configured to control the lighting module to sequentially emit spectral light, UV light, and white light in case that the capture command is received from the user terminal device.
