INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18544539 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING DEVICE, DISPLAY METHOD, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUM FOR STORING PROGRAM

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an information processing device that can plot capturing times of lesion images on a time axis for comparison.

  • First acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image instructed to be saved by user
  • Second acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image detected by detection processing
  • Display control unit displays first and second capturing times on a time axis

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in medical settings for endoscopic examinations to track and compare lesion images over time.

Problems Solved

1. Efficient comparison of lesion images captured during endoscopic examinations 2. Improved visualization of lesion development over time

Benefits

1. Enhanced monitoring of lesion progression 2. Facilitates better decision-making for treatment plans

Potential Commercial Applications

"Endoscopic Lesion Image Comparison Device for Medical Settings" can be used in hospitals, clinics, and medical research facilities.

Possible Prior Art

There may be similar technologies used in medical imaging systems for comparing images over time, but the specific method described in this patent application may be novel.

Unanswered Questions

How does the device handle multiple lesions in the same image set?

The patent application does not specify how the device distinguishes and compares multiple lesions within the same series of images.

What is the accuracy rate of the detection processing for lesion images?

The application does not provide information on the accuracy of the detection processing in identifying lesion images during endoscopic examinations.


Original Abstract Submitted

An information processing device includes: a first acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image instructed to be saved by a user, from a series of images captured by an endoscope during examination with the endoscope; a second acquisition unit configured to acquire a capturing time of a lesion image detected by detection processing for the series of images captured by the endoscope during the examination; and a display control unit configured to cause a display device to display a first capturing time and a second capturing time which are plotted on a time axis, the first capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the first acquisition unit, the second capturing time being the capturing time acquired by the second acquisition unit.
