Abstract

Claims (45)

1 . A method implemented on a computing device having a processor and a computer-readable storage device for operating a magnetic resonance (MR) apparatus in a scanning state and a non-scanning state, the method comprising:

obtaining an operating state of the MR apparatus,; and

selecting, from power supply devices, a power supply device for supplying power for at least one coil of the MR apparatus according to the obtained operating state of the MR apparatus, wherein the power supply devices include at least a battery, a wireless charging device, and a wired power source;

in response to determining that the operating state of the MR apparatus is the scanning state, disabling the wireless charging device and determining the battery as the selected power supply device for supplying the power for the at least one coil of the MR apparatus; and

in response to determining that the operating state of the MR apparatus is the non-scanning state, determining the wireless charging device or the wired power source as the selected power supply device for supplying the power for the at least one coil of the MR apparatus.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein after the battery is determined as the selected power supply device, the method further includes:

generating an instruction for causing the battery to supply the power for the at least one coil of the MR apparatus.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein after the wireless charging device or the wired power source is determined as the selected power supply device, the method further includes:

generating an instruction for causing the wireless charging device or the wired power source to supply power for the at least one coil of the MR apparatus.

4 . The method of claim 3 , wherein the instruction further includes causing the wireless charging device or the wired power source to charge the battery.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining an operating state of an MR apparatus includes:

obtaining scanning information of the MR apparatus; and

determining the operating state of the MR apparatus based on the scanning information.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein the scanning information includes scanning location information and scanning sequence information.

7 . The method of claim 6 , wherein the wireless charging device includes a plurality of power transmitting modules, and

the method further includes:

determining a scanning location of the MR apparatus;

determining a coil of the MR apparatus corresponding to the scanning location from the at least one coil of the MR apparatus based on the scanning location information;

determining the power receiving module of the MR apparatus operably connected to the coil; and

identifying, from the plurality of power transmitting modules, a power transmitting module of the wireless charging device for transmitting power to the power receiving module operably connected to the coil.

8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the identifying, from the plurality of power transmitting modules, a power transmitting module of the wireless charging device for transmitting power to the power receiving module operably connected to the coil includes:

obtaining a location of the power receiving module operably connected to the coil;

determining the distance between the location of the power receiving module and a location of each of the plurality of power transmitting modules of the wireless charging device; and

identifying, from the plurality of power transmitting modules, the power transmitting module for transmitting the power to the power receiving module operably connected to the coil, the identified power transmitting module corresponding to the smallest distance among the plurality of power transmitting modules.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the wireless charging device includes a plurality of power transmitting modules, and the method further comprises:

determining a power receiving module of the MR apparatus operably connected to the at least one coil; and

identifying, from the plurality of power transmitting modules, a power transmitting module operably connected to the coil, the identified power transmitting module corresponding to a smallest distance among distances each of which is between one of the plurality of power transmitting modules and the power receiving module.

10 . The method of claim 8 , further comprises:

determining whether a count of the power transmitting module corresponding to the smallest distance equals to 1;

in response to determining that there are two or more power transmitting modules corresponding to the smallest distance, obtaining coil model information of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module, the coil model information of each of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module including at least one of a model number, a manufacturer, a device type, or a count or types of one or more components arranged in each of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module;

determining a model matching degree between each of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module based on the coil model information of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module; and

determining a power transmitting module among the two or more power transmitting modules corresponding to a largest model matching degree as the identified power transmitting module for transmitting the power to the power receiving module.

11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the model matching degree between each of the two or more power transmitting modules and the power receiving module is determined according to a preset model matching degree algorithm, wherein the preset model matching degree algorithm includes:

for each item in the coil model information of the power transmitting module and the power receiving module,

assigning the item with a weight; and

in response to determining that the item of the power transmitting module and the item of the power receiving module is the same, counting the weight corresponding to the item into the model matching degree between the power transmitting module and the power receiving module.
