Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]The present invention relates to the field of in-vivo sensing, for example, in-vivo imaging. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002]Some in-vivo sensing systems may include an in-vivo imaging device able to acquire and transmit images of, for example, the GI tract while the in-vivo imaging device passes through the GI lumen. [0003]Other devices, systems and methods for in-vivo sensing of passages or cavities within a body, and for sensing and gathering information (e.g., image information, pH information, temperature information, electrical impedance information, pressure information, etc.), are known in the art. [0004]Some in-vivo imaging devices may acquire a large number of in-vivo images, for example, hundreds or thousands of in-vivo images, e.g., over a period of several hours. Accordingly, a relatively long time period may be required from a physician in order to view the acquired in-vivo images. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005]Some embodiments of the present invention may include, for example, devices, systems and methods for displaying in-vivo images at variable rate. [0006]In some embodiments, for example, a system may include a processor to gradually increase a frame display rate of an in-vivo image stream based on a similarity among two or more in-vivo frames of the in-vivo image stream. [0007]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may gradually increase the frame display rate until a pre-defined maximum frame display rate is reached. [0008]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may non-gradually decrease the frame display rate upon detection of a difference between the two or more in-vivo frames. [0009]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may reset the frame display rate from an accelerated frame display rate to a non-accelerated frame display rate upon detection of the difference. [0010]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may reset the frame display rate from an accelerated frame display rate to a non-accelerated frame display rate in response to a command to begin displaying the in-vivo image stream from a selected point. [0011]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may detect the similarity based on a comparative analysis of two or more of the in-vivo frames. [0012]In some embodiments, for example, the processor may perform the comparative analysis during a time period in which at least a portion of the in-vivo image stream is displayed. [0013]In some embodiments, for example, the in-vivo image stream includes a non-processed in-vivo image stream. [0014]In some embodiments, for example, the system may further include a display unit to display the in-vivo image stream at the frame display rate. [0015]In some embodiments, for example, the display unit may display an indication that the in-vivo image stream is displayed at an accelerated frame display rate. [0016]In some embodiments, for example, the system may further include an in-vivo imaging device including an imager to acquire the plurality of in-vivo frames. [0017]In some embodiments, for example, the in-vivo imaging device may be autonomous. [0018]In some embodiments, for example, the in-vivo imaging device may include a swallowable capsule. [0019]In some embodiments, for example, a method may include gradually increasing a frame display rate of an in-vivo image stream based on a similarity among two or more in-vivo frames of the in-vivo image stream. [0020]In some embodiments, for example, the method may include gradually increasing the frame display rate until a pre-defined maximum frame display rate is reached. [0021]In some embodiments, for example, the method may include non-gradually decreasing the frame display rate upon detection of a difference between the two or more in-vivo frames.
