Each of the peripheral devices (1), (2),... Connected to the system controller 15 transmits data to the system controller 15 via a communication line. In the system controller 15, when communication with each device is established,
The display on each device is displayed on the centralized operation panel 14 and operation input on the centralized operation panel 14 is enabled.

Also, as described above, only the information of the contents that the surgeon wants to monitor mainly in the operation of the centralized display panel 13 is extracted from the system and corresponds to the central display panel 13 as shown in FIG. Information about the peripheral device is displayed.

Each of the peripheral devices (1), (2),... Self-checks the operation state (operation contents) inside each of them, and in the operation state, the operation state or the operation contents should be notified to the operator. It has a judging means for judging whether it is (contents) or not, and sends a notification judging signal for notifying the operator of the operation state to the system controller 15 when judging that the notification is necessary. The determination signal is continuously transmitted until it is determined that the notification is unnecessary.

In this case, depending on the types of the peripheral devices (1), (2),... Connected to the system controller 15,
The priority of the determination signal transmitted when it is determined that notification is necessary is determined in advance. The system controller 15 generates a notification code (signal) for generating a notification code signal to be displayed on the centralized display panel 13 from the notification determination signals received from the peripheral devices (1), (2),. A unit 15a is built in and transmits to the centralized display panel 13 side.

The centralized display panel 13 is connected to the system controller 15 via a communication line, and receives an input unit (communication I / F) 66 for receiving transmission data. C that performs motion control
A control unit 67 composed of a PU or the like, and a memory 68 connected to the control unit 67 and storing a control operation program and data such as a display message corresponding to a notification code.
And a display device 69 which is connected to the control unit 67 and performs display according to the control operation of the control unit 67. The display device 69 is provided with a notification content display area 61 and the like as shown in FIG.

In this embodiment, when a plurality of states to be notified occur simultaneously, including a case where the states are to be notified simultaneously, a message having a content corresponding to the state is considered in consideration of the priority and the centralized display panel 1 is used.
It is characterized in that it can be displayed in the notification content display area 61 of No. 3 and will be described below.

FIG. 5 shows the flow of signals when it is determined that the operation of the peripheral device (1) needs to be notified to the operator (priority is middle level). An address indicating that the output state should be notified to the operator from the address map prepared for each of the peripheral devices (1), (2),... (In the example of FIG. 5, the address 0048h prepared for the peripheral device (1)). ) Is set to 1 and a notification determination signal is transmitted to the system controller 15. The determination signal is continuously transmitted until it is determined that the notification is unnecessary.

In the address 0048h in FIG. 5, the most significant bit 7 indicates the content of the notification judgment. If the bit is 0, the notification is unnecessary, and if the bit is 1, the notification is required. Bits other than the most significant bit 7 are unnecessary information on the system side, need to be notified, are ignored without being used unnecessarily.

FIG. 6 shows a signal flow from the system controller 15 to the centralized display panel 13. The system controller 15 creates an address map of a notification code signal to be transmitted to the centralized display panel 13 from the notification determination signals received from the peripheral devices (1), (2),. 13 is transmitted.

The centralized display panel 13 reads out the content to be displayed from the notification code signal, and
Is displayed in the notification content display area 61. The notification code signal from the system controller 15 to the centralized display panel 13 is continuously transmitted until the peripheral device that has determined that the notification is necessary determines that the notification is unnecessary. In the specific example of FIG. 6, the system controller 15 creates an address map of a notification code signal from a notification determination signal of the address 0048h issued from the peripheral device (1).

For example, the peripheral device (1) has a medium priority and the peripheral device (2) has 8-bit 00000010 at address 0000h as a notification code that does not need to be notified. Similarly, a notification code signal is generated for other peripheral devices, and an address map of the notification code signal is created. Then, the notification code signal is transmitted to the centralized display panel 13.

FIG. 7 shows a notification code signal for transmitting a centralized display panel. In FIG. 7, the lower 4 bits of the 8-bit notification code signal at the address of 0000h are flags indicating the priority of the notification content of the peripheral device (1), and the upper 4 bits are the operation of the peripheral device (2). The flag of the result of the state determination is stored.

Specifically, bits 0 and 4 contain the result of the determination that the priority is determined to correspond to the high level in the content of the notification, and bits 1 and 5 contain the medium level priority of the content of the notification in bits 1 and 5. Is stored in the bits 3 and 6, and the flag of the determination result determined to correspond to the low priority level is stored in bits 3 and 6, respectively. Note that bits 4 and 7 are not used in this example.

FIG. 8 shows a case where a plurality of states to be notified occur. For example, a case is shown in which the peripheral device (1) is in the middle of displaying the notification of the operation content of the medium priority and the peripheral device (3) is in the notification state of the high priority. In this case, as shown in FIG. 8, the notification code (for example, 00000010) of the peripheral device (1) is stored at the address of 0000h.
Is generated, and the notification code is transmitted from the system controller 15 to the centralized display panel 13. Then, a corresponding message is displayed on the centralized display panel 13.

In this case, a notification state with a high priority occurs in the peripheral device (3), and as shown in FIG.
The notification code (for example, 00000001) of the peripheral device (3) is generated at the address of, and the notification code is transmitted from the system controller 15 to the centralized display panel 13.

Control unit (CPU) 5 of centralized display panel 13
In 7, upon detecting that the notification code of the peripheral device (3) has been input, the priority is compared between the notification code of the peripheral device (1) already transmitted and a register in the control unit (CPU) 57. I do. As a result of the comparison, the notification control signal of the peripheral device (3) has a bit indicating higher priority as compared with the notification control signal of the peripheral device (1), and thus the control unit (CPU) 57 displays the display device. To 69 peripheral equipment (1)
Transmission of the notification message is temporarily stopped.

Then, data corresponding to the operation state of the peripheral device (3) is extracted from the memory 58, and is read out by the control unit (CP
U) It is transmitted to the display device 69 via 57, and the notification display of the peripheral device (3) is preferentially performed. The operation of the present embodiment that performs such an operation will be described with reference to the operation flow of FIG.

When a surgical operation under an endoscope is performed by the medical system 1 shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 2, the peripheral device (1) connected to the system controller 15
Data may be transmitted from (2),..., And a state to be notified may be generated from peripheral devices (1), (2),.

That is, it is determined whether a state to be notified has occurred in the system 1 as shown in step S1,
If it has not occurred, the process returns to step S1, and if it has occurred, the process proceeds to step S2. In step S2, it is determined whether the state to be notified is single (whether the state to be notified subsequently is newly generated) or not. If the state is single, a message corresponding to the state is displayed (step S3). Then, the process returns to step S1.

If it is determined in step S2 that the state to be announced is accompanied by a state to be announced subsequently instead of alone, the process proceeds to step S4, where the state to be announced that has already occurred and the contents of the notice that has subsequently occurred are determined. The priority is compared, and if the subsequent state to be notified has a higher priority, the message display is changed (step S5), and a message corresponding to the subsequent notification content is displayed (step S6). .
Then, the process returns to step S1. On the other hand, if the subsequent state to be notified has a lower priority, the message is displayed in step S3 (message display corresponding to the preceding state to be notified).

FIG. 10 shows a specific example of the operation of FIG. 9, and is an example of a case where the contents of a notification generated in the system 1 are displayed on the display device 69. Here, the priority of the state to be notified is high. The level of priority to be displayed is determined based on the priority, and the priority is displayed in descending order of priority.

Therefore, for example, when a state in which the priority is to be notified at a low level occurs and the "message having a low priority" M1 is notified as shown in FIG. High priority (for example, medium priority)
When a state to be notified occurs, the font of the character is enlarged from M1 to notify the surgeon that a higher-priority notification state has occurred in the system 1. It is changed to notify the message “M2”.

The message indicates the specific contents of the corresponding peripheral device, for example, indicating that the abdominal cavity pressure is slightly higher or lower in the insufflator. Then, by displaying the higher priority ones in priority, when a state to be notified occurs, the higher priority ones can be grasped with higher priority, and the corresponding measures are easy to perform, and the state of the state to be notified is easier. It is easy to perform the cancellation from the one with the highest priority.

This embodiment has the following effects. According to the present embodiment, the notification content with a high priority is preferentially displayed, so that the endoscopic surgical operation system can be operated without any trouble.

As a description of the case in which the determination in step S2 in the flowchart of FIG. 9 is not a single case, a case where a high priority occurs later (than a low priority) has been described. Also, in step S3, a message having a higher priority is determined, and a message corresponding to a message having a higher priority is preferentially displayed, and then a message corresponding to a message having a lower priority is displayed. Become.

(Second Embodiment) Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, the occurrence of a single state to be notified is displayed with priority over the case of a continuous occurrence of a state to be notified.

As shown in FIG. 11, for example, due to the occurrence of a state to be continuously notified at a low priority level in the system 1, a corresponding message M 3 is displayed on the display device 69 by detecting the state. If a single state to be notified (for example, a state with a high priority to be notified) occurs in the system 1 during the operation, a single state to be notified to the operator occurs in the system 1. In order to inform the surgeon of the fact, a message M4 corresponding to the state that should be notified sporadically is displayed by displaying a character different from the previous display such as enlarging the character than the message M3 or blinking the character. It is displayed on the device 69.

This embodiment has the following effects. According to the present embodiment, since the occurrence of a one-time notification state is displayed with priority over a continuous state,
It is possible to quickly cope with the occurrence of the state to be notified.

(Third Embodiment) Next, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. In the present embodiment, a message display unit combining the display units of the first embodiment and the second embodiment is provided, and FIG. 12 shows an operation example thereof. However, unlike the second embodiment, the message for the occurrence of the one-off state to be notified is set so as not to be displayed on the display device 69 after a certain period of time without being recovered.

Here, while the continuous low-priority message M5 is displayed in the system 1, a single-state medium-priority state to be notified and a continuous low-priority state are indicated. It is assumed that the state of the level to be announced simultaneously occurs.

In this case, if the priorities are the same at the medium level, the display device 69 first gives the message M6 of the one-time, medium-level message to be notified, giving priority to the one-shot message over the continuous message. Is displayed. (Because the priority is higher than the low level, the characters are displayed larger than the message M5 accordingly, etc.).

Then, the message M6 is deleted from the display device 69 after the state corresponding to the message M6 is restored (whether the notification becomes unnecessary) or after a certain period of time. Then, the message M7 that is continuous and has the medium priority and should be notified is displayed on the display device 69 alone or together with the message M3.

This embodiment has the following effects. According to the present embodiment, the display means of the first embodiment and the display means of the second embodiment are displayed in combination.
The occurrence of the state to be notified can be efficiently notified to the operator with a limited display device, and the corresponding treatment can be easily performed quickly.

In the above-described embodiment, when a state to be notified occurs in the peripheral devices (1), (2),.
It has been described that the priority is determined in advance by the peripheral device in which the state to be notified has occurred, but the peripheral devices (1), (2),
May be stored as information such as a table for determining the priority according to. When a determination signal is transmitted from the peripheral device to the system controller 15 that a state to be notified has occurred, the priority level of the determination signal can be determined based on the type of the peripheral device. good.

Further, in the peripheral device, a plurality of types or items may be in a state to be notified. Therefore, the peripheral device performs self-check of the state to be notified to a plurality of items and determines that the state is to be notified. In this case, a determination signal indicating the type or item of the state to be notified is transmitted to the system controller 15. As the determination signal in this case, a determination signal having a plurality of bits may be transmitted, or a determination signal including the type of state to be notified may be transmitted.
