REMOTE MEDICAL TREATMENT SUPPORT SYSTEM AND REMOTE MEDICAL TREATMENT SUPPORT METHOD USED THEREFOR

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable support for medical treatment switching a real time type conference and a mail type conference by transmitting an operation command corresponding to the contents of operation by a physician selecting a real time type command transmitter and a mail type command transmitter. SOLUTION: A terminal 11 is arranged at a hospital A and a terminal 12 at a hospital B to carry out a support for medical treatment between the hospitals A and B. A command generator 21 at the terminal 11 generates an operation command corresponding to the contents of operation following the operation of a physician. Then, a real time type command transmitter 13 transmits the operation command immediately to the other terminal and a mail type command transmitter 14 adds an execution timing to the operation command to be stored once in a buffer and then, transmits the contents of the buffer to the other terminal. A transmission mode selector 25 selects a method of transmitting the operation command to the other terminal. In this process, the real time type command transmitter 13 and the mail type command transmitter 14 are shared between the terminal 11 and the terminal 12.
