Description

  The present invention relates to an endoscope apparatus and a program.

  Conventionally known endoscope apparatuses develop all data such as program data and graphic data stored in a ROM (Read Only Memory) at the time of system startup into a RAM (Random Access Memory) and develop the data in the RAM. Is working with. In recent years, the amount of data stored in the ROM tends to increase as the functionality of the endoscope apparatus increases. Furthermore, the amount of data used for display is increasing due to the improvement in performance of display devices such as LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) provided in the endoscope apparatus. For example, when a high-resolution image is used to improve the appearance of a menu screen displayed on the display device, the amount of graphic data increases.

  As described above, when the amount of data stored in the ROM increases, it is necessary to provide a large-capacity RAM in order to expand all the data stored in the ROM into the RAM. In addition, when the amount of data stored in the ROM increases, the time required to expand the data stored in the ROM into the RAM also increases. There are CPUs with built-in RAM, but the capacity of the RAM built into the CPU is small. Therefore, when using a CPU with a built-in RAM, it is necessary to use a large-capacity external RAM as the amount of data stored in the ROM increases.

That is, while the display data in a certain language stored in the temporary storage unit 25 is rewritten, the display control unit 27 displays the message data in the rewritten language on the display unit 28.

Next, an operation procedure when starting up the endoscope apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure when the endoscope apparatus 1 according to this embodiment is started.
(Step S <b> 101) The control unit 22 reads the language setting information stored in the flash memory 30. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S102. The language setting information is information that specifies the language setting of the endoscope apparatus 1.
(Step S <b> 102) The rewrite unit 23 reads “ROM information header” from the graphic data stored in the storage unit 24. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S103. Note that the rewriting unit 23 holds the “ROM information header” read from the storage unit 24 while the endoscope apparatus 1 is activated.

  (Step S103) The rewrite unit 23 reads the “common header part” from the storage unit 24 based on the “common graphic data information” included in the “ROM information header” read from the storage unit 24 in the process of step S102. It is stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Since the “common graphic data information” includes “the size of the header portion of the common graphic data group” and “the offset of the common graphic data group”, the rewriting unit 23 stores the “common header” in the storage unit 24. The location where “part” is stored can be specified.

  (Step S <b> 104) The rewrite unit 23 reads “common graphic data” from the storage unit 24 based on the “common header unit” stored in the temporary storage unit 25 in the process of step S <b> 103, and stores it in the temporary storage unit 25. . Since the “common header portion” includes “offset of common graphic data”, the rewriting unit 23 can specify the location where the “common graphic data” is stored in the storage unit 24.

  (Step S105) The rewriting unit 23 selects the language specified by the language setting information read out in step S101 out of “language-specific graphic data information” included in the “ROM information header” read out in step S102. Get "graphic data information by language". Further, the rewriting unit 23 reads the “language-specific header part” of the language specified by the language setting information based on the acquired “language-specific graphic data information” from the storage unit 24 and stores it in the temporary storage unit 25. The “language-specific graphic data information” includes “the size of the header of the language-specific graphic data group” and “the offset of the language-specific graphic data group”. The location where the “language-specific header portion” of the language specified by the language setting information is stored can be specified.

  (Step S106) The rewriting unit 23 determines the language specified by the language setting information based on the “language-specific header part” of the language specified by the language setting information stored in the temporary storage unit 25 in the process of Step S105. Are read from the storage unit 24 and stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Since the “language-specific header portion” includes the “language-specific graphic data offset”, the rewriting unit 23 stores the “language-specific graphic data” in the language specified by the language setting information in the storage unit 24. Can be identified. Thereby, “language-specific graphic data” used to display an image in the language specified by the language setting information on the display unit 28 can be developed in the temporary storage unit 25.

  (Step S <b> 107) The rewriting unit 23 performs “language-specific” in a language other than the language specified by the language setting information based on “language-specific graphic data information” included in the “ROM information header” read in step S <b> 102. Only predetermined data of “graphic data” is read from the storage unit 24 and stored in the temporary storage unit 25 as “additional graphic data”. Thereafter, the process ends. The predetermined data is, for example, graphic data used when the display data stored in the temporary storage unit 25 is rewritten. A specific example of the graphic data used when rewriting the display data stored in the temporary storage unit 25 is graphic data for displaying message data indicating that the language is being switched as shown in FIG. Thereby, the common graphic data for displaying the message data of each language on the display unit 28 can be developed in the temporary storage unit 25. That is, message data can be acquired from the display data stored in the storage unit 24 and expanded in the temporary storage unit 25.

  In the above-described example, “additional graphic data” is acquired from “language-specific graphic data information” in a plurality of languages for displaying message data, and the acquired “additional graphic data” is expanded in the temporary storage unit 25. However, it is not limited to this. For example, the storage unit 24 may store the message data as common data, and the rewriting unit 23 may acquire the message data from the common data stored in the storage unit 24 and expand it in the temporary storage unit 25.

  Next, an operation procedure when switching the language setting of the endoscope apparatus 1 in the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 9 is a flowchart showing an operation procedure when switching the language setting of the endoscope apparatus 1 in the present embodiment.

  (Step S <b> 201) The control unit 22 determines whether the display control unit 27 displays the “language switching menu screen” on the display unit 28 based on the “graphical data by language” stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Determine. The display control unit 27 proceeds to the process of step S202 when the control unit 22 determines that the “language switching menu screen” is displayed on the display unit 28, and otherwise executes the process of step S201. To do. The “language switching menu screen” is a screen as shown in FIG.

  (Step S202) When switching the language setting of the endoscope apparatus 1, the user operates the operation unit 21 to input language specifying information for specifying the language after switching. The operation unit 21 receives input of language designation information. The control unit 22 designates one language among a plurality of languages based on the language designation information received by the operation unit 21. For example, when the language setting of the endoscope apparatus 1 is switched to Japanese, the user inputs language designation information for designating “Japanese” to the operation unit 21. In this case, the control unit 22 designates “Japanese” among a plurality of languages based on the language designation information received by the operation unit 21. In addition, the control unit 22 determines whether or not the operation unit 21 has received an input of language designation information. When the control unit 22 determines that the input of language designation information has been received, the process proceeds to step S203, and otherwise, the process of step S202 is executed again.

  (Step S203) The control unit 22 rewrites the language setting information stored in the flash memory 30 with information indicating the language designated by the control unit 22 in the process of step S202. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S204.

  (Step S204) The display control unit 27 displays a switching menu screen based on the message data in the language specified by the control unit 22 in the process of Step S202 among the message data in each language stored in the temporary storage unit 25. This is displayed on the unit 28. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S205. As a result, while the rewrite unit 23 rewrites the display data stored in the temporary storage unit 25, the display control unit 27 changes the display data based on the multilingual message data stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Can be displayed on the display unit 28. The switching menu screen is a screen as shown in FIG. For example, when the language specified by the operation unit 21 in the process of step S202 is “Japanese”, the display control unit 27 causes the display unit 28 to display a “language switching screen” in Japanese.

  (Step S205) Based on the “language-specific graphic data information” included in the “ROM information header” read at the time of activation, the rewriting unit 23 selects the “language-specific header unit” in the language specified by the control unit 22 in the process of step S202. Is read from the storage unit 24 and stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S206.

  (Step S206) Based on the “language-specific header part” stored in the temporary storage unit 25, the rewriting unit 23 stores “language-specific graphic data” in the language specified by the control unit 22 in the process of step S202. Read from 24. The rewriting unit 23 rewrites the “language-specific graphic data” stored in the temporary storage unit 25 with the newly read “language-specific graphic data”. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S207. Thereby, the “language-specific graphic data” of the language after switching can be expanded in the temporary storage unit 25.

  (Step S <b> 207) The display control unit 27 displays a language switching menu screen on the display unit 28 based on the “graphical data by language” stored in the temporary storage unit 25. Thereafter, the process ends. The switching menu screen is a screen as shown in FIG. For example, when the temporary storage unit 25 stores Japanese “graphic data by language”, the display control unit 27 displays a “language switching menu screen” in Japanese on the display unit 28. Thereby, the display control unit 27 can display the “language switching menu screen” of the language after switching on the display unit 28.
