What changed
Konica Minolta, Inc. has filed a patent application (US20260100277A1) for an ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus featuring hardware processor-controlled screen mirroring functionality. The system responds to screen mirroring requests from portable terminals connected via a network, establishing sessions for periodic image transmission. The processor manages session limits by acquiring predetermined information when previous sessions reach the limit number, ending older sessions to accommodate new terminal requests.
Medical device manufacturers and healthcare technology companies developing portable diagnostic interfaces or telemedicine solutions should note this intellectual property filing. While a patent application does not create immediate compliance obligations, it signals Konica Minolta's positioning in the wireless diagnostic imaging space and may inform competitive R&D planning in screen mirroring and session management for medical devices.

Abstract
An ultrasonic diagnostic apparatus includes a hardware processor that: displays an ultrasonic image on a screen; in response to a screen mirroring request from a portable terminal connected via a network, starts a session with the portable terminal for image transmission; and periodically transmits contents displayed on the screen through the session. In response to the screen mirroring request from the portable terminal, the hardware processor performs control: when a number of a previous session already started is less than a session limit number, to start the session with the portable terminal that has made the screen mirroring request; and, when the number of the previous session already started is equal to or greater than the session limit number, to acquire predetermined information, and to end the previous session already started to newly start the session with the portable terminal that has made the screen mirroring request.
