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 20240119728 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 display capturing times of lesion images acquired during an endoscopic examination.

  • First acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image saved by user during endoscope examination
  • Second acquisition unit acquires capturing time of lesion image detected by processing for series of images captured during examination
  • Display control unit displays first and second capturing times on time axis

Potential Applications

This technology could be used in medical settings for tracking and analyzing lesion images captured during endoscopic examinations.

Problems Solved

This technology helps in accurately recording and comparing capturing times of lesion images during endoscopic examinations, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning.

Benefits

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.
