Abstract

We can adapt telemedicine systems in advancement of information technology capabilities and increase of network bandwidth. The telemedicine service can be applied to a public health center, a school, a prison and islands in lacks of medical equipments and medical staffs. The telemedicine services which can be provided high quality medical services. We designed the multiple control server system consisting 3 sub-function, patients and doctors name list, network types, connection states and computer equipments. The telemedicine link configuration was decided as 'Flowing', or 'By-passing' in accordance the network type and bandwidth of patient systems or doctor systems. The multiple control server system was performed the best communication configuration over heterogeneous networks. This system was achieved high quality telemedicine services through dynamic wired and wireless networks at any time. This study represented a hybrid multimedia telemedicine system over heterogeneous networks. We expected that the designed system could provide not only the high quality services, tele-diagnosis and tele-consultation, but also the effective emergency telemedicine services to multi-patients in the heterogeneous network environments.

IT 및 통신 기술의 발달로 의료시스템 분양에 적용하여 원격진료 서비스를 제공하게 되었다. 원격진료 서비스는 인력 및 장비가 부족한 보건소, 학교, 도서지역 등에서 원격진료 서비스를 이용하여 2, 3차 의료기관의 의료진과 원격 자문과 진단 서비스를 통하여 양질의 서비스를 받을 수 있다. 원격진료를 이용하는 환자와 의료진은 다양한 통신망을 사용하여 원격진료 서비스를 이용 할 수 있지만, 통신망에 따라 대역폭의 차이와 공인 IP, 사설 IP의 특성으로 인하여 원격진료 서비스를 원활히 이용하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 다양한 네트워크 환경에서도 원격진료 서비스를 원활하게 이용 할 수 있고, 의료진과 환자 사이의 연결 리스트를 관리하여 효율적으로 원격진료 서비스를 제공할 수 있도록 다중접속 제어서버를 구현하였다. 다중접속 제어서버는 환자와 의료진의 리스트관리, 네트워크 타입, 사용자 장치타입을 이용하여 최적의 정책을 결정하여('Flowing'과 'Bypassing') 서비스하고, 사용자(의료진과 환자)의 연결 정보를 모니터링 할 수 있는 시스템을 구현하였다.
