A capsule endoscope system includes: a receiving device that receives in-vivo images captured by a capsule endoscope inserted into an organ of a subject; and an image display device that acquires ID information of one or more capsule endoscopes, acquires through the receiving device the in-vivo images captured by the capsule endoscopes identified by the ID information, and displays thereon the in-vivo images thus acquired. The image display device is connected via a communication network to a central server that uniformly manages information about the capsule endoscopes, notifies the central server the ID information of the one or more capsule endoscopes, acquires information about the one or more capsule endoscopes from the central server, and performs a warning process about the one or more capsule endoscopes according to the information thus acquired.

A receiving apparatus 3 includes a receiving circuit 22 which performs reception processing such as demodulation of radio signals received by one of receiving antennas 6a to 6h, an image processing unit 26 which reconfigures image data based on original signals obtained by the reception processing, and a timing controller 28 which controls timing of processing operations of the receiving circuit 22 and the image processing unit 26 so that the processing operations are not performed simultaneously. Since the processing operation of the receiving circuit 22 and the processing operation of the image processing unit 26 are controlled so as not to overlap with each other, noises generated by the processing operation of one element can be prevented from negatively affecting the processing operation of the other element. Thus, mutual interference between the operation of a receiving mechanism and the operation of a signal processing mechanism can be suppressed while an increase in size of the apparatus is prevented.

摘要:
In transmitting images picked up by an intrabody introduced device to outside a test body, synchronizing signals of the image signal are set to signal patterns in the same high-frequency band as for the image signal and not used for the image signal. This enables a receiver to stably binarize the synchronizing signal and thus to acquire favorable image signal. For example, in a clipping circuit provided in a signal processing circuit in a capsule type endoscope (an example of an intrabody introduced device), image information of a high-intensity portion is clipped out of image information acquired by an imaging section and a pattern generation circuit allocates signal patterns within the clipped intensity range as horizontal and vertical synchronizing signals.
