发明名称 USB-enabled audio-video switch
摘要 A telemedicine system (8) includes an audio-video switch (10) that receives at least two different signals and conveys at least one of the at least two different signals to an output device (18) that presents it to a user. A control device (162) monitors a position of the audio-video switch (10) and automatically controls the position to select which of the at least two different signals is passed through the audio-video switch (10) to the output device (18) in response to a signal from a remote source (34). Signals received from the remote source (34) include medically related audio video message signals, which are input to the audio-video switch (10), and a control signal that causes the audio-video switch (10) to select between passing the medically related audio-video message signals and other received signals to the output device (18).

主权项 1. A telemedicine system, comprising: an audio-video switch that receives a plurality of different audio-video signals and conveys at least two of the different audio-video signals to an output device that concurrently displays a video portion of the at least two audio-video signals, each within a different display region of the output device, the audio-video switch including at least one of a wireless communications port for controlling the audio-video switch with a remote wireless device and control panel for manual control of the audio-video switch; and a control device including one or more processors programmed to: monitor a position of the audio-video switch,power the audio-video switch through a bus connection with the audio-video switch,monitor and control the audio-video switch through signals conveyed via the bus,obtain at least one of a unique identification, a serial number, a software versions, and a firmware version of the audio-video switch via a universal serial port, andautomatically control the position of the audio-video switch to select which of the at least two different audio-video signals passed through the audio-video switch to the output device has its video portion displayed in each of the displays regions in response to a signal from a remote source, including (a) displaying a lower priority medical audio-video communication in the secondary display region and the user selected programming in the primary display region; (b) displaying a higher priority medical audio-video signal in a primary display region and user selected programming audio-video signal in a secondary display region; and (c) displaying a still higher priority medical audio-video signal on both the primary and secondary display regions when the audio-video signal is deemed critical.
