Abstract

A method of controlling a medical apparatus which includes: establishing, by a mobile apparatus, a communication link between the mobile apparatus and the medical apparatus; when the communication link is established, detecting an operation mode of the mobile apparatus; determining a function corresponding to the detected operation mode from functions provided by the medical apparatus; and performing the determined function.

Claims (30)

1. A method of controlling a medical apparatus, the method comprising:

establishing, by a mobile apparatus, a communication link between the mobile apparatus and the medical apparatus, the mobile apparatus being mounted on a control panel of the medical apparatus;

detecting an operation mode of the mobile apparatus in response to establishing the communication link;

determining a function corresponding to the detected operation mode from functions provided by the medical apparatus; and

performing the determined function,

wherein the detecting of the operation mode comprises determining the operation mode as one of a width direction mode and a height direction mode based on orientation information of the mobile apparatus,

wherein the performing of the determined function comprises, when the operation mode is the width direction mode in which the mobile apparatus is positioned in a width direction, controlling the medical apparatus based on a user input, and

wherein the performing of the determined function comprises, when the operation mode is the height direction mode in which the mobile apparatus is positioned in a height direction, displaying object-related information comprising at least one of medical record information of an object, medical image record information of the object, a medical image captured by the medical apparatus, and lesion information of the object.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

receiving an input for changing the operation mode of the mobile apparatus;

changing the operation mode of the mobile apparatus to another operation mode based on the received input; and

performing the function corresponding to the another operation mode.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the performing the determined function comprises:

displaying a confirmation button for confirming whether to perform the determined function; and

performing the determined another function, of the functions of the provided by the medical apparatus, based on a user input received via the confirmation button.

4. A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program, which, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform the method of claim 1 .

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining of the function comprises:

receiving identification (ID) information of the medical apparatus, from the medical apparatus, through the communication link; and

determining the function based on the received ID information of the medical apparatus.

6. A mobile apparatus for controlling a medical apparatus, the mobile apparatus comprising:

a communicator configured to establish a communication link with the medical apparatus, the mobile apparatus being mounted on a control panel of the medical apparatus;

a sensor configured to detect an operation mode of the mobile apparatus in response to establishing the communication link; and

a controller configured to determine a function corresponding to the detected operation mode from functions provided by the medical apparatus, and perform the determined function,

wherein the sensor is configured to determine whether the operation mode of the mobile apparatus is a width direction mode or a height direction mode based on orientation information of the mobile apparatus,

wherein, when the operation mode of the mobile apparatus is the width direction mode in which the mobile apparatus is positioned in a width direction, the controller is configured to perform a function of controlling the medical apparatus based on a user input, and

wherein, when the operation mode of the mobile apparatus is the height direction mode in which the mobile apparatus is positioned in a height direction, the controller is configured to display object-related information comprising at least one of medical record information of the object, medical image record information of the object, a medical image captured by the medical apparatus, and lesion information of the object.

7. The mobile apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the sensor is configured to receive an input for changing the operation mode of the mobile apparatus and change the operation mode of the mobile apparatus to another operation mode based on the input, and

the controller is configured to perform another function, of the functions of the provided by the medical apparatus, corresponding to the another operation mode.

8. The mobile apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to display a confirmation button for confirming whether to perform the determined function, and perform the determined function based on a user input received via the confirmation button.

9. The mobile apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the controller is configured to receive identification (ID) information of the medical apparatus, from the medical apparatus, through the communication link, and determine the function based on the received ID information of the medical apparatus.
