Supporting device and X-ray diagnostic apparatus
View Patent ↗A supporting device according to an embodiment includes a holder, a supporter, and a controller. The holder holds a user terminal that includes a detection surface that detects an input operation by an operator. The supporter is connected to the holder and is movably provided so as to locate a user terminal at a predetermined position, the user terminal being held by the holder. The controller fixes the supporter in a state where the supporter is located at a predetermined position when the detection surface detects the input operation.
1. A supporting device comprising:
a holder configured to hold a terminal device that includes a detection surface that detects an input operation by an operator;
a supporter configured to be connected to the holder and to be movably provided so as to locate the terminal device at a predetermined position, the terminal device being held by the holder; and
a controller configured to fix the supporter in a state where the supporter is located at a predetermined position when the detection surface detects the input operation.
2. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller cancels a fixed state of the supporter after a predetermined time elapses since the input operation is completed via the detection surface.
3. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the supporter includes:
an arm configured to locate a terminal device at a predetermined position, the terminal device being held by the holder; and
at least a joint configured to bend the arm in an arbitrary direction, and
when the detection surface detects the input operation, the controller fixes the joint in a state where the arm is bent in the arbitrary direction.
4. The supporting device according to claim 3 , wherein, when the at least a joint includes multiple joints, the controller fixes an arbitrary joint out of the multiple joints.
5. The supporting device according to claim 3 , wherein the joint is configured to be less likely to bend in an operating direction of the input operation.
6. The supporting device according to claim 3 , wherein the controller unfixes the joint when an X-ray is emitted by an X-ray diagnostic apparatus or when a catheter is in operation.
7. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the detection surface is of a capacitance type or a pressure sensitive type that is settable to a predetermined sensitivity.
8. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein a detection area of the detection surface for detecting an input operation by the operator is settable arbitrarily.
9. The supporting device according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls on/off of an electromagnetic lock.
10. An X-ray diagnostic apparatus comprising:
an X-ray emitting circuitry configured to emit an X-ray to a subject;
a holder configured to hold a terminal device that includes a detection surface that detects an input operation by an operator;
a supporter including a joint and configured to be connected to the holder and that to be bent in an arbitrary direction so as to locate the terminal device at a predetermined position, the terminal device being held by the holder; and
a controller configured to:
fix the supporter in a state where the supporter is bent in the arbitrary direction when the detection surface detects the input operation, and
unfix the joint when the X-ray emitting circuitry emits an X-ray.
