Patent ID: 8176356

Claim:
A medical-information communication-connection management device comprising: a request sending part configured to send a first connection request through network communication and a second connection request through DICOM communication executed after establishment of said network communication to a medical information device that is a communication destination through a communication network that includes the medical information device that is the communication destination; a response-data receiving part configured to receive first response data for the first connection request and second response data for the second connection request; a first response analyzing part configured to acquire first error information from the first response data, which indicates an error in the network communication, when the received first response data is data indicating a failed connection; a second response analyzing part configured to acquire second error information from the second response data, which indicates an error in said DICOM communication after successful establishment of the network communication, when the received second response data is data indicating a failed connection; a countermeasure storage part configured to store first countermeasures for error information in said network communication and second countermeasures for error information in said DICOM communication; a countermeasure acquisition part configured to access the countermeasure storage part to extract one of the first countermeasures responsive to the first error information and one of the second countermeasures responsive to the second error information; and a display controller configured to cause a display to display the extracted countermeasure, wherein said countermeasure displayed on said display comprises error identification information, identification information of the medical information device, information on which of the communication sender or the communication destination fails, and information on whether changing connection conditions is effective for recovery.
