APPARATUS AND CONTROL METHOD FOR ENDOSCOPE CAPSULE THAT CAPSULE MOVEMENT VELOCITY IS LINKED WITH IMAGE TRANSMISSION VELOCITY

摘要

An endoscope capsule with capsule movement velocity linked with image transmission velocity and a control method thereof are provided to observe entire bowels including a large intestine and a small intestine with a battery of a limited capacity by adjusting image acquisition velocity and transmission velocity to an outside of a body. An endoscope capsule with capsule movement velocity linked with image transmission velocity of a lighting LED(Light Emitting Diode)(200), an image sensor(300), a control unit(400), a power battery(500), a transmission unit(600), an antenna(700), and an electromyography signal measuring electrode. The image sensor acquires an image with lighting generated by the LED. The control unit automatically detects the movement velocity of the endoscope capsule and controls the acquisition of the image and transmission velocity of the image to an outside of a human body. The power cell supplies power to the endoscope capsule. The transmission unit transmits the image acquired by the control of the control unit to the outside of the human body. The electromyography signal measuring electrode is attached to an exterior of the endoscope capsule, and measures an electromyography signal and transmits the signal to the control unit.
