Claim 0:
1. An ultrasound system in which a mobile information terminal is connected to an ultrasound probe and an external monitor,
wherein the ultrasound probe includes:
a transducer array;
a processor that transmits ultrasonic waves from the transducer array and generates a sound ray signal on the basis of a reception signal acquired by the transducer array, and generates image information data on the basis of the sound ray signal; and
a wireless communication unit that wirelessly transmits the image information data to the mobile information terminal,
the mobile information terminal includes:
a display unit;
an operation unit that includes a touch sensor disposed so as to be superimposed on the display unit and is used by a user to perform an input operation;
a processor that generates an operation image which is displayed on the display unit and is used by the user to perform the input operation through the touch sensor, generates external monitor data having a display format for the external monitor on the basis of the image information data wirelessly transmitted from the ultrasound probe, and detects whether or not the mobile information terminal and the external monitor are connected to each other; and
a wireless communication unit that wirelessly transmits the external monitor data generated by the processor of the mobile information terminal to the external monitor, and
the external monitor displays an external monitor ultrasound image on the basis of the external monitor data wirelessly transmitted from the mobile information terminal, and
only while that the mobile information terminal and the external monitor are not connected each other is being detected and the external monitor ultrasound image is not being displayed on the external monitor, the display unit displays both of the operation image and a terminal ultrasound image based on the image information data generated by the processor of the ultrasound probe.
