Claim 11:
12. A method for controlling an ultrasound system in which a mobile information terminal is connected to an ultrasound probe and an external monitor, the method comprising:
generating a sound ray signal by directing a transducer array of the ultrasound probe to transmit and receive ultrasonic waves on the basis of an input operation through an operation unit of the mobile information terminal;
generating image information data on the basis of the generated sound ray signal;
wirelessly transmitting the generated image information data from the ultrasound probe to the mobile information terminal;
generating an operation image used by a user to perform an input operation;
displaying the operation image on a display unit of the mobile information terminal;
generating 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;
detecting whether or not the mobile information terminal and the external monitor are connected to each other;
wirelessly transmitting the generated external monitor data from the mobile information terminal to the external monitor;
displaying an external monitor ultrasound image on the external monitor on the basis of the external monitor data; 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, displaying both of the operation image and a terminal ultrasound image based on the image information data on the display unit.
