    Abstract: A power supply control unit starts power supply to an endoscope if an external trigger is applied (Step S10) (Step S12). If the power supply to the endoscope is started, the endoscope becomes operable. As a result, voltage information showing a current voltage value Vrect is transmitted from the endoscope to the processor device for an endoscope through optical communication as feedback information. A control unit of the processor device for an endoscope receives the voltage information showing the current voltage value Vrect, and outputs the received voltage information to a power supply control unit (Step S14). The power supply control unit adjusts the frequency of an electric current made to flow to a power transmitting coil of a power supply unit, on the basis of the received voltage information (Steps S16 to S24).

    Abstract translation: 如果应用外部触发,电源控制单元开始向内窥镜供电(步骤S10)(步骤S12)。 如果内窥镜的电源开始,则内窥镜变得可操作。 结果,通过光通信将表示当前电压值Vrect的电压信息从内窥镜发送到内窥镜用处理器装置作为反馈信息。 用于内窥镜的处理器装置的控制单元接收表示当前电压值Vrect的电压信息,并将接收到的电压信息输出到电源控制单元(步骤S14)。 电源控制单元基于接收到的电压信息来调整流向电源单元的电力传输线圈的电流的频率(步骤S16至S24)。
