Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/084025
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a capsule endoscope comprising: an imaging unit that generates an image by capturing the inside of a subject at a variable imaging frame rate; an image determining unit that determines whether the image is useful for observation; and an imaging controlling unit that varies the imaging frame rate on the basis of the results of the determination made by the image determining unit. This configuration allows the provision of a capsule endoscope, a receiving device, a method for operating the capsule endoscope, and a program for operating the capsule endoscope such that unnecessary battery consumption can be suppressed and imaging of images not useful for observation can be suppressed.
