1 Smart COVID Kit: Designing Automatic Hand Sanitizer Dispenser and Temperature 2 Checker for use during Pandemics 3 Description: 4 Related Art: 6 Pub. No.: US010226184B2 7 8 Patent Name: APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ENHANCING ACCURACY OF A 9 CONTACTLESS BODY TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

1 In existing, some non contact type thermometers measure the wavelength of an infrared 2 emission from a target object with a temperature higher than the absolute temperature to 3 determine the temperature of the target object with a quick and continuous manner, even when 4 the target is on the move. But this type of thermometer may not be as accurate due to measurement distances and telescopic structure that keeps it at a constant distance from the 6 region where temperature is to be measured. To solve this issue (US010226184B2) invention 7 provides an electronic device that includes camera module and object area at which a 8 temperature is to be measured are keeping each other at a constant distance. So that the 9 measurement distance remains constant. Which results in reduce the errors and deviations between measured body temperature values as well as enhancing accuracy of a contact less 1 body temperature measurement. In this way this the patent (US010226184B2) helps for 2 measuring a persons specific body area temperature with maximum accuracy. 3 24 Pub. No.: US20200029901A1

26 Patent Name: CONTACTLESS MEASUREMENT, MONITORING AND 27 COMMUNICATION OF BODILY FUNCTIONS OF INFANTS AND OTHER 28 HELPLESS INDIVIDUALS 29 More recently, communication for monitoring purposes has been supplemented with remote 31 monitoring of bodily functions such as breathing and heart rate. The proposed patent 32 (US20200029901A1) overall apparatus to measure and communicate life signs and other 33 functions of infants and others "parts of body", is not attached directly to or in contact with the

1 body parts. The system contains an attractive badge-sized, light weight, and safe enclosure 2 which contains all sensors, measurement circuitry, power source and management, signal 3 processing, data storage, and wireless communication circuitry that easily attaches to the outside 4 of inner clothing without contact with the skin to measure bodily functions like temperature, heart rate, etc. Machine learning and other artificial intelligence and calculation tasks could be 6 distributed among the apparatus attached to the bodies clothing and other system building 7 blocks, such as local video and communication devices and even the user's smart phone. The 8 patent (US20200029901A1) with multiple quantities and types of sensors " distributed sensing" 9 provide redundancy and reliability of bodily function measurements and facilitate removing the need for direct bodily contact. 1 Pub. No.: US20160363340A1 2 3 Patent Name: AIR CONDITIONER, SENSOR SYSTEM, AND THERMAL SENSATION 4 ESTIMATION METHOD

6 The patent (US20160363340A1) describes to control the air conditioner activities of emitting 7 air-conditioned air based on the person's body temperature in an air-conditioned space. The air 8 conditioner consist of a thermal image acquirer and contactless temperature sensor that acquires 9 a thermal image indicating a temperature distribution inside an air-conditioned space. Also thermal sensation estimator that estimates the thermal sensation of the person in the air 1 conditioned space based on the thermal image obtained from the thermal image acquirer. Based 2 on the temperature, the controller sets the parameter of air-conditioner about its wind direction, 3 wind speed, and wind temperature of wind emitted from the air conditioner. In this way the 24 patent (US20160363340A1) helps to control the emitting of air-conditioned air from air conditioner by sensing the human person's temperature using contactless temperature sensor in 26 an air-conditioned space. 27 28 Pub. No.: TW201707645A 29 Patent name: CONTACTLESS ELECTRIC CARDIOGRAM SYSTEM 31 The patent (TW201707645A) providing a standard electrocardiogram (ECG) signal to a 32 medical equipment or for storage or viewing on a remote device of a human body using 33 contactless ECG sensors. The system consists of a digital processing module (DPM) adapted to

1 connect to an array of contactless ECG sensors provided in a fabric cloth. A selection 2 mechanism is embedded into the DPM which allows the DPM to identify body parts using the 3 ECG signals of the different ECG sensors and select for each body part the best sensor based on 4 its quality. The DPM may then produce the standard ECG signal. The system is designed to continuously re-examine the selection to ensure that the best sensors are selected for a given 6 movement of the body part. The patent (TW201707645A) allows for a continuous and un 7 interrupted ECG monitoring of the patient with the help of contactless ECG sensors. 8 9 Pub. No.: RU2698441C2

1 Patent name: Device for non-contact recording of patient's biometric parameters in lying 2 3 The patent (RU2698441C2) suggested a method and device for non-contact recording of 4 essential signs of a patient in a nonstop mode in a lying down state. Device includes housing, controller and sensor which is placed near the patient's bed or is attached to it. Also in the 6 housing there is a signal recording device to measure the patients signs such as pulse rate per 7 minute, respiratory rate per minute, index of hemodynamic activity, index of motor activity, 8 intervalogram and configured to connect to the cloud service when the power is switched on 9 using a secure SSL connection. Measured data is obtained through a cloud service and the obtained vital signs are stored for a given amount of time. Patterns of vital signs are registered. 1 Diagnosing the patient's health changes as a result of the therapy and correcting the therapeutic 2 course. The patent (RU2698441C2) helps in recording and tracking negative changes as 3 contactless manner in the state of health and transferring this information to the doctor's 24 attention level through cloud to provide proactive treatment to the patient.

26 Pub. No.: W02018/039522A9 27 Patent Name: A CONTACTLESS SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AND 28 CONTINUOUSLY MONITORING ARTERIAL BLOOD PRESSURE 29 In patent (W02018/039522A9), it has a method includes illuminating light with one 31 predetermined wavelength at a predetermined area of a human body having an artery. Then 32 continuously acquiring images from light reflected from the predetermined area. Processing the 33 images with a processor to determine when predetermined area is getting darker. As a

1 contactlessly and continuously calculate the arterial blood pressure for each cardiac cycle of the 2 human body based on the pulse pressure (P), proximal location, proximal time, distal location, 3 pulse transit time (PTT) and pulse wave velocity. In this way the patent (W2018/039522A9) 4 helps to calculate the blood pressure of a human body as a contact less manner. Detailed Description: 6 7 The proposed Smart Sanitizer Dispenser (SSD) for COVID-19 scenario is getting starts its 8 process by activating the SSD for customers/patients to make use of the sanitizer in an 9 automatic and contactless manner. The contactless and temperature sensors are placed in front side of the SSD. The SSD can be placed infront of any shops, hospitals, etc. The 1 customers/patients need to show their hand(s) in front of the SSD in a correct position. 2 Contactless sensor senses the object. The SSD control unit checks whether the object is human 3 hand or not. If it is human hand then it senses the temperature of the human hand using 4 temperature sensor. Also SSD dispenses the sanitizer. Else it will not dispense the sanitizer. The sensed temperature further transferred to the medical control unit. Here all the processes has 6 been processed in an automatic and contactless manner. The SSD can be deactivated when the 7 requirement gets over. 8 9
