As shown in FIG. 1, the body 10 may be attached to a part of a user's body, such as an armpit. More specifically, the body 10 may be a flexible substrate in the form of a flexible patch or a band. In addition, the body 10 may be protected by a cover S made of a flexible material such as silicone material, and an adhesive may be applied to the one surface so that one surface may be attached to the body. For example, the pressure-sensitive adhesive may be a medical hydrocolloid or silicone pressure-sensitive adhesive. In addition, in addition to the pressure-sensitive adhesive may be fixed with a band of elastic material such as elastic bands.

In this case, the body 10 includes a first portion 11 in which the body temperature measuring unit 20 and the touch sensing unit 30 are installed, and a second in which the first control unit 40 and the transmission / reception module unit 50 are installed. It may comprise a part 12 and a third part 13 connecting the first part 11 and the second part 12. As described above, the body temperature measuring unit 20 and the transmission / reception module unit 50 communicating with the display device 90 are installed to be spaced apart from the first part 11 and the second part 12 of the body 10. The transmit / receive module unit 50 may not be disturbed by other components such as the body temperature measuring unit 20, and the transmit / receive module unit 50 may be exposed to the outside by being spaced apart from the armpit of the user, which is a general body temperature measuring position.

In addition, the body temperature measuring unit 20 may be installed at the first portion 11 of the body 10 and may be in contact with the skin of the user to measure the body temperature of the user. More specifically, the body temperature measuring unit 20 may measure a body temperature through skin heating, and may include a temperature sensor formed in a thin film or bulk type. The temperature sensor may be a thermistor or a thermocouple type contact temperature sensor, but is not limited thereto, and various types of temperature sensors may be used in consideration of measurement accuracy and durability.

In addition, the body temperature measuring unit 20 may be separated from the skin of the user according to a state in which the body 10 is attached to the skin of the user, the skin condition of the user, or the movement of the user. Accordingly, the touch sensing unit 30 may be installed in the body 10 to detect the contact state of the body temperature measuring unit 20.

More specifically, the touch detector 30 may measure the body temperature of the body 10 such that the contact between the touch detector 30 and the user may be the same as the contact between the body temperature measurer 20 and the user. It may be installed near the portion 20. For example, the touch sensing unit 30 may be installed in the body 10 and formed within a radius of 10 mm from the body temperature measuring unit 20.

The body temperature data measured while the user 20 is not in contact with the user 20 can be ignored.

Therefore, when the body temperature measuring unit 20 is in a non-contact state with the user for a predetermined time or more, the first control unit 40 switches the body temperature measuring unit 20 to an inactive mode, thereby controlling the body temperature measuring unit from the power supply unit P. By cutting off the power supplied to (20), power consumption can be reduced when smooth measurements are not made. In addition, by transmitting the alarm signal to the display device 90 through the transmission and reception module unit 50, the user or the guardian of the user can be induced to immediately recognize and remount the wireless thermometer 100.

Here, the above-mentioned transmission / reception module unit 50 may wirelessly transmit the body temperature data stored in the first control unit 40 to the external display device 90.

If it is determined that a warning signal may be displayed through the display unit 91 of the display device 90 to warn the user or the guardian of the user.

For example, the body temperature data and the normal temperature value stored in the second control unit 92 in advance, or the high temperature setting stored in the second control unit 92 by the user or the protector of the user may be set in advance through the display device 90. The display unit of the display device 90 when the body temperature of the user is out of the normal temperature value, exceeds the high temperature setting value, or falls below the low temperature setting value. The warning signal may be displayed through 91 to inform the user or the guardian of the user that the body temperature is abnormal.

In addition, the transmission / reception module unit 50 may perform wireless communication with the wireless transmission / reception unit 93 of the display device 90. The wireless communication method may include various methods capable of bidirectional communication such as dedicated short range communications (DSRC) communication, near field communication (NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID), Zigbee, and Bluetooth.

Accordingly, when the communication with the transmission / reception module unit 50 is lost, the display device 90 informs the user that the communication is lost through the display unit 91 and stores the information in the first control unit 40 while the communication is lost. The body temperature data and the pulse data may be received from the transmission / reception module unit 50 at the same time as communication is resumed.

For example, in the case of Bluetooth connection, communication between devices may be performed by a pairing operation between Bluetooth devices, and the pairing may be disconnected due to various causes.

In this case, the second control unit 92 of the display device 90 may continuously monitor a wireless communication connection state between the wireless transmission / reception unit 93 and the transmission / reception module unit 50 of the display device 90. When the wireless communication is cut off, the user or guardian of the user may be informed that the wireless communication is cut off and the body temperature data cannot be received through the display unit 91 of the display device 90. At the same time, the first controller 40 stores the measured body temperature data by itself and transmits the stored body temperature data to the display device 90 in the situation where the disconnection state of the wireless communication is eliminated. It can fill in the information gap of body temperature data.

In addition, the display device 90 stores the temperature data transmitted through the wireless transmission / reception unit 93 in a separate device such as the display device 90 or a cloud server, and later visits a hospital to see a doctor. In the meantime, it can be used as evidence for informing the state of the user.

Therefore, the wireless thermometer 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is attached to a part of the user's body by continuously measuring the temperature of the infant, etc., to remotely notify the parent or medical staff, high fever or low temperature phenomenon To be prepared. In addition, in remotely transmitting the body temperature data measured through the measuring device attached to the infant, it is possible to provide accurate body temperature information by providing information on the accuracy and communication state of the temperature sensor and to prepare a countermeasure.
