The temperature processing unit receives the temperature of the subject from the temperature measuring unit. The processing unit generates alarm according to set conditions.

Description

{In schedule interval body temperature about under automatic measuring sends a measurement price with the radio and the method which it receives and body temperature measuring equipment}

The present invention relates to a method for allowing the subject to immediately respond to changes in the subject's body temperature by continuously receiving the subject's body temperature information at a predetermined interval.

Currently used thermometers are classified into mercury thermometers, digital thermometers, and infrared thermometers according to the body temperature measurement method.Mercury thermometers can measure the most accurate body temperature and are inexpensive, but the cost is high. have. Digital thermometers can be measured relatively quickly and mercury compared to mercury thermometers, but they have a disadvantage in that different results are easier for different people. Infrared thermometer is a method of measuring the heat of the eardrum by using infrared rays, and the measurement time is very short and easy to use, but different results may be produced depending on the angle of measurement, and the price is the most expensive.

In addition, the thermometer can be classified into contact and non-contact type. In the case of contact type, it is measured by contacting or attaching to the armpit, tongue, anus, upper left part of navel, and in the case of non-contact type, using infrared light on ear or forehead.

All of these thermometers are integrated, and the measurement and recognition of the measured temperature are all done in one thermometer. Therefore, if necessary, you or a third party should face-to-face measurement whenever you want, and if you need to observe continuous body temperature, you have to check a certain time interval and make the measurement yourself every time.

An object of the present invention is to continuously measure the body temperature at a precise time interval for a predetermined time without the input of manpower and to receive the measured body temperature information even in a state away from the subject.

The present invention distinguishes the body temperature measuring unit and the body temperature processing unit from the existing thermometer which is configured as one, and the connection between the body temperature measuring unit and the body temperature processing unit is adopted as a wireless communication method (RF, Bluetooth).

The body temperature measuring unit measures the body temperature data at regular intervals, and a data processing unit for amplifying the information obtained through the temperature sensor, converting the current or voltage into frequency, counting the frequency, and converting the data into data. Consists of a transmitter to transmit, it is used to attach to the subject in conjunction with the adhesive to make a continuous measurement for a certain time. It consists of temperature sensor, power supply, RF transmitter (Bluetooth transmitter), IC, clock, frequency counter, PCB panel, cover, power switch, connect switch, etc.

The body temperature processor is composed of a receiver for receiving data transmitted from the body temperature measuring unit, a data processor for outputting the received data, and a switch processor for switch processing for alarm setting and clock setting. The shape is band-shaped for ease of use or smooth recognition of warning sound and vibration, and consists of RF receiver (Bluetooth receiver), vibrator, clock, display, etc. , Has a function button.

According to the present invention, the subject who needs to measure the temperature by dividing the body temperature measuring unit and the body temperature processing unit needs a user who wants to know the temperature information of the body temperature measuring unit, so that the subject and the user do not have to be together.

In addition, the body temperature measurement unit continuously measures the body temperature at a predetermined time interval and sends it to the body temperature processing unit so that the user does not need to check and measure the measurement interval every time.

When the temperature processing unit exceeds the set temperature value, the user does not need to check the subject's body temperature in order to know the subject's body temperature or the body temperature change as a warning with vibration and sound.

As a result, the user does not need to measure the temperature of the subject from time to time, and does not need to be kept by the side of the subject, so as to be able to perform other actions or sleep within the range of the transmission / reception distance capability. In particular, infants who have difficulty in expressing their intentions set the body temperature to be treated according to the high fever without having to stay all night to check whether or not high fever occurs. You can then take the necessary steps.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Since the normal temperature varies by age group and body part, the body temperature can be measured and used as a reference body temperature in consideration of the relative relevance of a certain body temperature to a mild fever for one person and a high fever for another. It can be regarded as normal body temperature and can be determined by comparing with high fever. However, it is not necessary to use and can be omitted if the user does not want to use it.
