Patent ID: 7871403

Claim:
A medical support control system comprising: one or more imaging devices for imaging an affected area; one or more recording devices for recording an image signal output from the imaging devices; a medical support control device in which the image signal output from the imaging devices is input, the medical support control device having a controlling unit for recording the input image signal on one of the recording devices and for synthesizing an image based on the image signal and a prescribed graphical user interface (GUI) when the image signal recorded on one of the recording devices is input; and a display manipulation device in which the GUI containing the synthesized image is displayed and input is possible to the GUI, wherein, on the basis of an input of setting information about the recording devices on an administrator setting window of a GUI displayed by the display manipulation device, the controlling unit creates a GUI including a device selection part for causing one of the recording devices to be selected, an image selection part for causing one of image signals output from the imaging devices to be selected, and a display part for causing the image corresponding to the selected image signal to be displayed, and causes the created GUI to be displayed on the display manipulation device as a manipulator window, and the medical support control device further comprises: first and second image signal input units; first and second image signal output units; a storage unit for storing setting information about the recording device input into the administrator setting window; and a routing unit for outputting an image signal from the first or second image signal input unit to the first or second image signal output unit, on the basis of the setting information, and the selected recording device and the selected image signal, and wherein; the first image signal input unit is connected to the imaging devices; the first image signal output unit is connected to an image signal input unit of the display manipulation device; the second image signal output unit is connected to an image signal input unit of the recording devices; the second image signal input unit is connected to an image signal output unit of the recording devices; and if the setting information is set, the routing unit outputs an image signal input from the first image signal input unit to the second image signal output unit, and outputs to the first image signal output unit the image signal input from the second image signal input unit and returned via the selected recording device.
