The EEPROM that control part 258 uses the CPU (Central Processing Unit, central processor) that carries out various handling procedures, record the various information of the ROM of various handling procedures etc. and each the computing parameter handled of storage or antenna record information etc. in advance realizes.The driving of each formation portion of control part 258 control receiving system main bodys 205, and the driving of each formation portion of the antenna element 204 that is electrically connected with receiving system main body 205 of control.In this case, control part 258 monitors whether imported above-mentioned image receiving mode indication information or continuity test pattern indication information from input part 252 always, set mode of operation according to the indication information of being imported, based on the mode of operation of this setting, each formation portion of receiving system 203 is driven control.
For example, control part 258 is in the image receiving mode, before the driving control of beginning image receiving mode, confirm the access times of antenna element 204 or the broken string of the reception antenna possessed has or not the use resume that wait according to the antenna record informations in the resume storage part 242, show that to display part 253 output and affirmation result warn demonstration accordingly.Perhaps, control part 258 is confirmed the result based on this, each formation portion of receiving system 203 is begun the driving control of image receiving mode.Figure 16 is the flow chart that illustration is used for controlling according to the result behind the affirmation antenna record information treatment step of the driving control of warning demonstration or beginning image receiving mode.
In Figure 16, if not from input part 252 input picture receiving mode indication informations, control part 258 detected image receiving mode indication information (step S1101, "No") not then, this step S1101 repeatedly is until imported image receiving mode indication information from input part 252.That is, control part 258 monitors whether imported image receiving mode indication information from input part 252 always.
On the other hand, if imported image receiving mode indication information from input part 252, then control part 258 detects the image receiving mode indication information (step S1101, "Yes") of this input, according to detected image receiving mode indication information, set the image receiving mode as mode of operation.Control part 258 at first reads in the antenna record information (step S1102) that is recorded in the resume storage part 242 in the image receiving mode.In this case, control part 258 is confirmed the content of the antenna record information that reads from resume storage part 242.
Then, the affirmation result of the antenna record information of reading in step S1102 is (step S1103 under the situation that detects the information that detects that breaks according to this antenna record information, "Yes"), control part 258 detects information according to this broken string, be judged to be among reception antenna 204a~204d any shows display part 253 to be used for warning the broken string of this broken string situation to detect the control (step S1104) of warning to the outside for the broken string state at least.In this case, control part 258 can show the broken string aerial information on display part 253 when this broken string detects warning.Afterwards, control part 258 does not begin the driving control of image receiving mode and the end process step.
On the other hand, the affirmation result of the antenna record information of reading in step S1102 is (step S1103 under the situation that does not detect the information that detects that breaks according to this antenna record information, "No"), control part 258 is according to this antenna record information, access times information when extracting antenna access times information and inspection, antenna access times information that use extracts and access times information when checking are calculated access times (step S1105) after the inspection of antenna element 204.These inspection back access times are for for example handling the access times of the antenna element 204 till beginning until now from the continuity test that antenna element 204 is carried out last time.Therefore, by calculate based on the access times of the antenna element 204 of antenna access times information and when checking access times poor of the antenna element 204 of access times information, control part 258 can be obtained this inspections access times afterwards.In addition, under the situation of access times information, control part 258 is made as the access times based on this antenna access times information that extracts and checks the back access times when the inspection that can not extract based on this antenna record information.
Then, control part 258 with the inspection that calculates among the step S1105 after access times and the benchmark number of times that writes down as determinating reference information in advance compare, when this checks back access times (step S1106 when the benchmark number of times is above, "Yes"), display part 253 is shown the control (step S1107) of urgency to the continuity test enforcement warning of antenna element 204 enforcement continuity tests processing.In addition, this benchmark number of times is the determinating reference information that is used to regulate the enforcement frequency that continuity test handles.Be set at the benchmark number of times of littler value by use, control part 258 can show more continually that the output continuity test implements warning.
After the treatment step that has carried out step S1107, control part 258 will compare based on the antenna access times of this antenna record information and the limit number of times that writes down as determinating reference information in advance, as these antenna access times (step S1108 when the benchmark number of times is above, "Yes"), display part 253 is shown that antenna that urgency is replaced by other antenna element with antenna element 204 changes the control (step S1109) of warning.In addition, this limit number of times is the determinating reference information of desired ultimate value that expression antenna element 204 can be kept the access times of above-mentioned normal condition.Be set at the limit number of times of littler value by use, control part 258 can show earlier that the output antenna changes warning.
Afterwards, each structural portion of 258 pairs of receiving systems 203 of control part begins the driving control (step S1110) of image receiving mode, as mentioned above, for example obtain successively, transmit obtained view data etc. successively to storage part 257 by capsule type endoscope 3 shot image data etc.Thus, storage part 257 for example writes view data that sends from control part 258 etc. successively to pocket recording medium 5.
In addition, control part 258 triggers the driving control conduct of beginning image receiving mode, to count (step S1111) based on the antenna access times of the antenna record information that reads in above-mentioned steps S1102, to this antenna access times+1.Afterwards, control part 258 writes the antenna access times information (step S1112) of the antenna access times of this counting of expression to resume storage part 242.In this case, the antenna access times of resume storage part 242 usefulness behind the counting of control part 258 input are rewritten the antenna access times of last stored.Thus, the antenna access times in the renewal resume storage part 242.
On the other hand, control part 258 with the inspection that calculates among the above-mentioned steps S1105 after access times and benchmark number of times compare, (step S1106 under the situation of the not enough benchmark number of times of access times after this is checked, "No"), do not carry out the treatment step of above-mentioned steps S1107, antenna access times and limit number of times based on the antenna record information of reading among the above-mentioned steps S1102 are compared.At the comparative result of these antenna access times and limit number of times (step S1108 under the situation of the not enough limit number of times of these antenna access times, "No"), control part 258 does not carry out the treatment step of above-mentioned steps S1109, carries out the treatment step that above-mentioned steps S1110 rises.
At this, user shows that by looking the treatment step of recognizing according to above-mentioned steps S1104 the broken string of output on display part 253 detects warning, can easily know not to be that antenna element 204 can normally receive the state of wireless signal.In addition, user shows the broken string aerial information that outputs on the display part 253 by looking to recognize, and can know easily that any reception antenna among reception antenna 204a~204d is the broken string state.User can substitute by broken string and detect the antenna element 204 of warning expression and normal antenna element is electrically connected with receiving system main body 205.In addition, user can substitute the reception antenna of being represented by the broken string aerial information and normal reception antenna is electrically connected with antenna element 204.
Perhaps, user shows that by looking to recognize according to the treatment step of above-mentioned steps S1107 the continuity test of output on display part 253 implement warning, antenna element 204 is not carried out continuity test more than can easily knowing at the fixed time to handle.When showing that at display part 253 having exported this continuity test implements warning, user can carry out handling at the continuity test of antenna element 204.
And user shows the antenna replacing warning of output on display part 253 by looking the treatment step of recognizing according to above-mentioned steps S1109, and the access times that can easily know antenna element 204 are more than desired limit number of times.User can will be replaced by another normal antenna element with the antenna element that receiving system main body 205 is electrically connected when showing that on display part 253 having exported this antenna changes warning.Thus, before any of reception antenna that antenna element is possessed becomes the broken string state, user can be replaced by this antenna element the antenna element of normal condition, can use the antenna element with normal condition and the receiving system 203 of receiving system main body 205 always.
On the other hand, in above-mentioned continuity test pattern, each accepting state of the wireless signal of control part 258 by for example judging reception antenna 204a~204d is come that antenna element 204 is carried out continuity test and is handled.In this case, user nearby disposes wireless signal generating means (not shown) the reception antenna 204a~204d's of continuity test object, this wireless signal generating means generates the test wireless signal of exporting with the wireless signal same frequency band that is sent by capsule type endoscope 3, makes the test wireless signal of reception antenna 204a~204d reception from this wireless signal generating means.Control part 258 carries out the continuity test of antenna element 204 and handles according to the received electric field strength of the test wireless signal that receives via reception antenna 204a~204d.
Figure 17 is the flow chart of the treatment step handled of the continuity test that carries out under the continuity test pattern of illustration control part 258.In Figure 17, if from input part 252 input continuity test pattern indication informations, control part 258 does not detect less than continuity test pattern indication information (step S1201, "No"), step S1201 repeatedly is up to imported continuity test pattern indication information from input part 252.That is, control part 258 monitors whether imported continuity test pattern indication information from input part 252 always.
On the other hand, when having imported continuity test pattern indication information from input part 252, control part 258 detects the continuity test pattern indication information (step S1201, "Yes") of this input, according to this detected continuity test pattern information, set the continuity test pattern as mode of operation.In the continuity test pattern, at first, 255 indications of 258 pairs of control switching circuits of control part are switched the reception antenna (step S1202) that is electrically connected with receiving circuit 254 successively with predefined procedure from reception antenna 204a~204d.In this case, control switching circuit 255 comes the antenna change action of control antenna switching part 241 based on the control of control part 258, carries out switching the reception antenna that is electrically connected with receiving circuit 254 successively with predefined procedure.
In this state, above-mentioned wireless signal generating means be configured in reception antenna 204a~204d near, reception antenna 204a~204d is sent the test wireless signal.Receiving circuit 254 is for each reception antenna, detect the received electric field strength of the test wireless signal that receives via the reception antenna 204a~204d that switches successively respectively, export successively and the corresponding intensity detection signal of each received electric field strength to control switching circuit 255.Control switching circuit 255 transmits the intensity detection signal of importing successively from receiving circuit 254 successively to control part 258.Control part 258 according to each reception antenna from control switching circuit 255 receiving intensity detection signals, according to each the intensity detection signal that receives, obtain the received electric field strength (step S1203) of the test wireless signal that receives via reception antenna 204a~204d respectively for each reception antenna.
Control part 258 uses the received electric field strength of each reception antenna of obtaining and the threshold value that writes down as determinating reference information in advance in step S1203, come each reception antenna is judged each accepting state (step S1204) of reception antenna 204a~204d.In this case, control part 258 compares each the obtained received electric field strength and the comparison process of threshold value to each reception antenna, the accepting state of the reception antenna that has obtained the above received electric field strength of this threshold value is judged to be well, outside the accepting state of reception antenna be judged to be bad.
In step S1204, control part 258 judges whether the accepting state of whole reception antenna 204a~204d of continuity test object is good, if be not judged to be good (step S1205, "No"), confirm then whether the judgement of the accepting state of reception antenna 204a~204d that these are whole is finished.In this case, to carry out time of the antenna change action that the whole reception antenna 204a~204d with the continuity test object are electrically connected with receiving circuit 254 respectively repeatedly with pre-determined number over and done with if do not detect, then control part 258 is judged as any one accepting state (the step S1206 that does not judge among whole reception antenna 204a~204d, "No"), and repeatedly carry out the treatment step that above-mentioned steps S1202 rises.On the other hand, detecting when passing through during this period, the accepting state that control part 258 is judged to be these whole reception antenna 204a~204d is judged to be finishes (step S1206, "Yes"), is the accepting state among the reception antenna 204a~204d of continuity test object that bad reception antenna is judged to be the broken string state, and the antenna element 204 that will possess these reception antennas 204a~204d is judged to be broken string state (step S1209).
Afterwards, control part 258 is exported following information to resume storage part 242: broken string detects information, and at least one among the reception antenna 204a~204d of its expression continuity test object is the broken string state, and promptly antenna element 204 is the broken string state; The broken string aerial information, it determines that in above-mentioned steps S1204 accepting state is judged as bad reception antenna, promptly is judged as the reception antenna of broken string state; And access times information when checking, it is illustrated in the antenna access times when carrying out this continuity test processing, and access times information was written to (step S1210) in the resume storage part 242 when control part 258 detected information, broken string aerial information and inspection with the broken string of being exported.In this case, resume storage part 242 storage broken string detects information and broken string aerial information as the antenna record information about antenna element 204, and access times information when rewriting this inspection.Afterwards, control part 258 treatment step that rises of above-mentioned steps S1201 repeatedly.
