Abstract
There are provided an inexpensive imaging device that may perform data transmission promptly and easily, and a transmission/reception system using the imaging device. The imaging device includes, an imaging section, a recording section storing data of images shot by the imaging section, a transmission section transmitting the data stored in the recording section to the outside by radio, and a controller controlling the transmission section to start data transmission after the imaging section finishes image-shooting.
Claims10
A capsule endoscope comprising:
- an imaging section;
- a recording section that stores data of images captured by the imaging section;
- a transmission section that transmits the data stored in the recording section to the outside via radio communication;
- and
- a controller that controls the transmission section to start data transmission after the capsule endoscope is excreted from a subject body,
- wherein the data stored in the capsule endoscope is transferred to a data-receiving device, and wherein one or more drains and one or more drainage canals of the data-receiving device discharge water droplets adhered to the capsule endoscope.

A transmission/reception system comprising:
- an encapsulated imaging device that stores data of captured images, wherein the encapsulated imaging device comprises:
- an imaging section;
- a recording section that stores data of images captured by the imaging section;
- a transmission section that transmits the data stored in the recording section to the outside via radio communication;
- and
- a controller that controls the transmission section to start data transmission after the encapsulated imaging device is excreted from a subject body;
- and
- a data-receiving device that receives data stored by the encapsulated imaging device and transfers the data, wherein the data-receiving device comprises:
- a housing;
- one or more drains provided in a side face of the housing;
- and
- one or more drainage canals connected to the one or more drains,
- wherein the one or more drains and the one or more drainage canals discharge water droplets adhered to the encapsulated imaging device.
