Abstract:
1. A portable simplified image display apparatus, comprising: an integral antenna that receives a radio signal transmitted from a body-insertable apparatus to be introduced into a subject and outputs a first radio signal; a connector that is connectable to a receiving device, the receiving device including a set antenna which is arranged on a body surface of the subject and which receives the radio signal transmitted from the body-insertable apparatus to be introduced into the subject and outputs a second radio signal; a switch for switching between the first radio signal and the second radio signal, the second radio signal being received through the connector; a connection detector that controls switching of the switch for selecting one of the first and second radio signals to obtain a selected signal; a image processing circuit that performs image processing based on the selected signal to generate image data; a display unit that displays image data based on the image data generated by the image processing circuit; a strength detector that detects a received strength of the first radio signal transmitted from the body-insertable apparatus; and a notifying unit that notifies a state of the received strength detected, wherein the connection detector controls the switch to select the second radio signal when the receiving device is connected to the portable simplified image display apparatus through the connector, and to select the first radio signal when the receiving device is not connected to the portable simplified image display apparatus.
