Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

1 is a view showing a non-contact thermometer according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a view showing body temperature measurement and sterilization using the non-contact thermometer of FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 1 , the non-contact thermometer 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a non-contact thermometer equipped with a sterilization function. , button units 131 , 132 , 133 , power port unit 140 , display unit 150 , and some or all of sensor unit 160 .

Here, “including some or all” means that some components such as the power port unit 140 and the sensor unit 160 are omitted to form the non-contact thermometer 90 , or some components such as the display unit 150 . It means that the element can be configured by being integrated with other components such as the main body 101, and it will be described as including all elements to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The body part 101 may be formed in various shapes and materials, and may include a driving circuit part such as a main PCB in a first case and a second case formed through injection molding in a mold, and a driving circuit part such as a main PCB therein. can The main body 101 is formed in the shape of a bar so that the user can handle or carry it conveniently. Accordingly, the user may measure body temperature or perform a sterilization operation while holding the lower portion of the main body 101 .

As seen in FIG. 1 , a body temperature measuring unit 110 for measuring a user's body temperature is configured on one surface from the upper side of the body unit 101 . As shown in FIG. 2A , the body temperature measuring unit 110 operates to measure body temperature in a non-contact state on the user's forehead or wrist. The body temperature measurement may be performed by selecting the mode button 132 constituting the button units 131 , 132 , 133 .

The body temperature measuring unit 110 includes an infrared sensor or a temperature sensor and a distance sensor. It is configured to measure the user's temperature through an infrared sensor or a temperature sensor, and use the distance sensor to measure body temperature when sensing a distance within, for example, 30 mm. In other words, the control unit such as the CPU configured on the main PCB operates the distance sensor of the body temperature measuring unit 110 when the user requests it, and operates the infrared sensor when the user's forehead or wrist is detected within a specified distance to operate the body temperature. Let the measurements be made.

Of course, the body temperature measuring unit 110 may configure various elements for measuring the user's temperature, that is, body temperature. A thermal imaging camera is an example. By configuring the camera module of the thermal imaging camera, temperature sensing may be possible. For example, the principle of non-contact temperature measurement by an infrared sensor is composed of a lens, an aperture, a filter, an infrared sensor, and a signal processing unit. It serves to remove unnecessary edge signals. In the infrared filter, only the desired infrared wavelength band is passed to enter the infrared sensor. In the infrared sensor, the optical signal is converted into an electrical signal, and the signal processing circuit unit can serve to convert the electrical signal into a temperature. Of course, since the temperature measurement can be made in various forms, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

In addition, the sterilization lamp unit 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured on the opposite side of the body unit 101 where the body temperature measuring unit 110 is configured. The sterilization lamp unit 120 may operate to sterilize bacteria or viruses, such as a smartphone, as shown in FIG. 2B . Above all, the non-contact thermometer 100, more precisely, the sterilization lamp unit 120 according to the embodiment of the present invention, includes a sterilization lamp for irradiating an object with ultraviolet rays (eg, UVC ultraviolet rays) for sterilization. , a gyro sensor or a distance sensor (or a second distance sensor) may be further included to selectively control the germicidal lamp unit 120 . Here, the selective means that the sterilization operation is performed when a condition is satisfied by detecting the movement of the sterilization lamp unit 120 through a motion sensor such as a gyro sensor. This can be seen as essential for safety in order to prevent the UV germicidal lamp from operating to the user. In general, UV types are classified into UV-A (long wave), B (medium wave), and C (short wave) depending on the wavelength. Here, the wavelength involved in sterilization is UV-C, which is a short wavelength, and the range of UVC wavelength is about 100 to 280 nm (nanometers), which is known to have the strongest sterilization power when it is about 254 nm.

For example, the reference direction is set through the gyro sensor, and it may be normally north, but whether the sterilization lamp unit 120 faces downward or upward through the sensing data of the gyro sensor. , furthermore, the angle can be measured, such as how much inclination it has with respect to the reference direction. Therefore, it is possible to determine how much angle the sterilization lamp unit 120 has with the floor surface in a horizontal state with respect to the floor surface, and the sterilization operation can be stopped when out of a specified range, that is, the angle formed with the floor surface. Of course, in the process of this, the sterilization operation may be continued again when it returns to within the angle of the specified range again without departing from the specified time. Since various types of operations may be performed in consideration of user convenience, it will not be specifically limited to any one type. However, it is possible to prevent the user from being irradiated with ultraviolet rays by stopping the sterilization operation when it deviates from the specified angle based on the reference plane.

Of course, before the operation of the sterilization lamp unit 120 , a determination process for determining whether the user or the sterilization target is a user through the body temperature measuring unit 110 may be preceded. For example, since the user's body temperature and the temperature of the object to be sterilized are completely different, it may be determined whether the user is the user through this. Therefore, since it is possible to selectively operate the sterilization lamp unit 120 by such an operation, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The button units 131 , 132 , and 133 may include a power button 131 , a mode button 132 , and a sterilization button 133 . The power button 131 turns on/off the power of the non-contact thermometer. The mode button 132 can select a body temperature measurement mode and a life mode, and changes in Celsius or Fahrenheit in the process. For example, by pressing and holding the power button 131 for 2 seconds, Celsius and Fahrenheit can be changed.

The power port unit 140 may be connected to a USB-C type, and may perform an operation for charging an internal battery by receiving power.

The display unit 150 may display the user's measured body temperature as shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B , and may display an abnormal body temperature in red. In addition, blue may be displayed in the sterilization operation. The display unit 150 may be composed of an LCD and a backlight, but may be composed of an LED, which is a self-luminous device. A pictogram may be displayed during the sterilization operation. A pictogram is a pictogram symbolizing an object or an action.

The sensor unit 160 includes an optical sensor or an amplifier for amplifying a sensing signal of the optical sensor. The sensor unit 160 may receive correction data for correcting a measurement error of a body temperature according to a user's skin color through screen communication with a user terminal device such as a smart phone.

In summary, the non-contact thermometer 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention is a thermometer capable of sterilizing and sterilizing objects in which bacteria can propagate in daily life by adding an ultraviolet sterilization function to the body temperature measuring system. It is possible to sterilize by irradiating the UVC of the UV sterilization lamp to the steering wheel, computer, cell phone, tableware, and bedding, where bacteria and viruses proliferate a lot. It is a non-contact thermometer with added sterilization function that can reduce the temperature.

In addition, the non-contact thermometer 100 has an easy-to-carry design, and the infrared sensor for measuring body temperature is configured on the upper surface, that is, one side as seen in FIG. . It can measure individual body temperature as well as eradicate bacteria and virus mites that inhabit the surface of various devices and objects, so it can provide a quarantine solution together. In particular, a safe use solution can be provided by using the gyro sensor to automatically activate the UV sterilization lamp only when the sterilizing lamp is on the bottom or facing downward and when an object is close.

In addition, when measuring body temperature, an operation is performed to correct an error that may occur depending on the user's skin color. To this end, the body temperature correction data for correcting the measured body temperature according to the skin color may be set in various forms, or data may be stored in connection with a nearby smart phone, etc., and the previously stored data may be updated. For example, a black-and-white image is implemented in the form of a GIF animation on the screen of a smartphone, and correction data related to skin color is generated by recognizing it through a sensor such as an optical sensor. According to this method, it is possible to accurately measure the body temperature.

In addition to the above, the non-contact thermometer 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention may further include various components, and details will be continued.

3 is a block diagram illustrating a detailed structure of the non-contact thermometer of FIG. 1 .

As shown in FIG. 3 , the non-contact thermometer 100 of FIG. 1 has a button unit 300 , a display unit 310 , a backlight 315 , a body temperature measurement unit 320 , and a sterilization lamp in view of the driving mechanism. Some or all of the unit 330 , the control unit 340 , the communication unit 350 , the sound output unit 360 , the status output unit 370 , the battery unit 380 , and the power control unit 390 .

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the state output unit 370 are omitted to configure the non-contact thermometer 100, or some components such as the communication unit 350 are connected with the control unit 340 It means that it can be configured by being integrated with other components, such as, and will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The button unit 300 is a user interface unit that receives a user's command. It consists of three buttons, such as a power button, a measurement mode button, and a sterilization button, and changes Celsius and Fahrenheit according to each function. You can change it to a connection. For example, a change between Celsius and Fahrenheit may be performed by long-pressing the power button.

The display unit 310 displays a body temperature result value or whether sterilization is performed. It may include an LCD panel as it needs to display information such as numbers.

The backlight 315 is displayed in green (GREEN) for normal body temperature, red (RED) when the temperature is high, and blue (Blue) for sterilization operation. Alternatively, the corresponding color is displayed through the display unit 310 . Accordingly, the backlight 315 may be an LED backlight.

Since the display unit 310 and the backlight 315 may be replaced by using an LED panel, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to the above configuration.

The body temperature measuring unit 320 measures the temperature through an infrared sensor when sensing a distance within 30 mm, for example. To this end, it may include a body temperature measuring sensor 321 and a distance measuring sensor 322 . Here, the distance measuring sensor 322 may be referred to as a first distance measuring sensor. The body temperature measuring unit 320 may operate under the control of the controller 340 when there is a body temperature measurement request from the user. In this process, the distance measurement is performed by the distance measurement sensor 322 , and when the user is detected within a specified range, that is, the body temperature is measured through the body temperature measurement sensor 321 . As the body temperature measuring sensor 321, various elements such as an infrared sensor, a thermal imaging camera, and a temperature sensor may be used.

The germicidal lamp unit 330 includes a gyro sensor 331 as a direction sensor, a distance measuring sensor (or a second distance measuring sensor) 332 , and an ultraviolet germicidal lamp 333 . The gyro sensor 331 is a sensor that measures a change in the orientation of an object by using the property of always maintaining the initially set direction regardless of the rotation of the earth. A measurement of the angular velocity can be made. The gyro sensor 331 detects that the UV sterilization lamp 333 is facing the floor, and the UV sterilization lamp 333 turns on ( ON). The sterilization lamp unit 330 may be controlled by the controller 340 when the user selects the sterilization button.

More specifically, when the sterilization button is selected, the UV sterilization lamp 330 is directed or irradiated through the gyro sensor 331 instead of being directly irradiated with ultraviolet ray for sterilization from the sterilization lamp. Afterwards, when it is determined that the direction is from the upper side to the lower side, the distance measurement may be performed by operating the distance measuring sensor 332 . And, when a sterilization object is detected within a specified distance, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 333 is operated. Of course, in this process, it is possible to further determine whether the sterilization object is a person by temporarily operating the body temperature measuring unit 320 for more accurate operation control. In other words, even when facing downward, this is to prevent people from pointing. As described above, the operation of the sterilization lamp unit 330 may be performed in various forms.

Of course, the sterilization lamp unit 330 can operate only within a range of a specified angle of up, down, left, and right in a horizontal state with the floor surface. In other words, when the angle between the horizontal plane of the germicidal lamp unit 330 and the bottom surface is within the range of 45 degrees, the UV lamp may be operated, and if it is out of this range, the operation of the UV lamp may be stopped. In addition, if it is within the angle range again within a certain period of time even after stopping, the ultraviolet sterilization lamp 333 may be operated again. This may be related not only to safety, but also to user convenience or voltage saving. Since various operations are possible as described above, the embodiment of the present invention will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The control unit 340 controls button input, body temperature, distance measurement, sterilization control and output, power management and battery voltage monitoring, optical sensor signal measurement, LED, and the like using a microprocessor as a microcomputer. In other words, the control unit 340 includes the button unit 300, the display unit 310, the backlight 315, the body temperature measurement unit 320, and the sterilization lamp unit of FIG. 3 constituting the non-contact thermometer 100 of FIG. 330 ), the communication unit 350 , the sound output unit 360 , the status output unit 370 , the battery unit 380 , and the power control unit 390 are in charge of overall control operations. Representatively, the body temperature measuring unit 320 and the sterilizing lamp unit 330 may be selectively controlled according to a user's request. Selectively controlling means that it is possible to control the body temperature measuring unit 320 or control at least one of the sterilization lamp unit 330 under a specific condition. Of course, various sensors or lamps constituting the sterilization lamp unit 330 may be selectively controlled.

In addition, the control unit 340 receives data for correcting the body temperature measurement result according to the skin color from the user terminal device 90' such as a nearby smart phone, and performs an operation such as initially setting or updating preset data. can be done Skin color correction-related data is generated based on a sensing signal of a black-and-white image sensed through the GIF image implementation unit 111 of the smartphone through an optical sensor and used for correction when measuring body temperature.

In addition, the control unit 340 may perform an operation such as calculating a distance or determining a direction using sensing data of various sensors provided by the body temperature measuring unit 320 or the sterilization lamp unit 330 . However, in the embodiment of the present invention, it is assumed that such calculation or determination is performed by the body temperature measuring unit 320 or the sterilization lamp unit 330 , and further descriptions will be omitted.

The communication unit 350 communicates with the user terminal device 90 ′ such as a neighboring smart phone, and includes a decoder device for sensing and amplifying a black and white on/off signal transmitted from a GIF animation of a smartphone screen, for example. The light of the black and white image can be sensed through the photosensor, and the sensing signal of the photosensor can be amplified through the amplifier. Through the analysis of the amplified signal, data for correcting the body temperature measurement result according to the skin color may be generated.

The sound output unit 360 may include a speaker or a buzzer, and generates a buzzer sound when measurement is started or high temperature is measured.

The status output unit 370 includes an LED element and the like, and may display an on/off state of the power supply.

The power control unit 390 configures the voltage of two AAA batteries of the battery unit 380 as main power, blocks power consumption when the power is turned off for low power management, and configures power connection through a C-type interface.

In addition to the above, the non-contact thermometer 100 of FIG. 3 can perform various operations, and since the other details have been sufficiently described above, those contents will be replaced.

4 is a flowchart illustrating a driving process of the non-contact thermometer of FIG. 1 .

For convenience of explanation, referring to FIG. 4 together with FIG. 1 , the non-contact thermometer 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention initializes the system when the power switch is turned on ( S400 ).

In addition, when the power button is pressed briefly, Celsius and Fahrenheit are selected (S401).

If the sterilization button is on, check the gyro sensor to see if the sterilization lamp is facing downward (S402, S403).

When the proximity sensor is turned on, the sterilization lamp is turned on (S404, S405).

At this time, a pictogram that cannot be irradiated with a human body is displayed on the result screen (S406).

On the other hand, when the proximity sensor is OFF, that is, if there is no sterilization target within the specified distance, the sterilization lamp is turned OFF (S407).

When the mode button is pressed, body temperature mode or life mode is selected (S408, S409).

When the measurement mode setting is completed, the thermometer prepares to measure the temperature through the distance sensor.

For example, when an object is detected within 30 mm, a beep sounds and the temperature is measured (S410, S411).

The measurement result is displayed on the display (S412). At this time, if the body temperature is out of the normal range, the temperature is displayed in red.

In addition to the above, the non-contact thermometer 100 of FIG. 1 can perform various operations, and since other details have been sufficiently described above, those contents will be replaced.

5 is a block diagram illustrating another detailed structure of the non-contact thermometer of FIG. 1 .

5 , the non-contact thermometer 100 ′ according to another embodiment of the present invention includes a communication interface unit 500 , a control unit 510 , a sterilization lamp unit 520 , and a part of a body temperature measuring unit 530 . Or includes all, and may further include a non-contact body temperature management unit or storage unit.

Here, "including some or all" means that some components such as the communication interface unit 500 and the storage unit are omitted to configure the non-contact thermometer 100', or components such as the non-contact body temperature management unit control unit 510 It means that it can be configured by being integrated with other components, such as, and will be described as including all in order to help a sufficient understanding of the invention.

The communication interface unit 500 may operate in conjunction with various devices. For example, it may operate in connection with a user terminal device such as a smart phone, or may operate by being connected to a tablet PC, a laptop computer, or a server connected to a communication network. Of course, this operation is involved in an operation such as setting correction data or updating preset data for correcting an error that may occur depending on skin color in relation to the user's body temperature measured by the body temperature measuring unit 530 .

For example, it has been described previously that a black-and-white image in the form of an animation is implemented on the screen of a smartphone, etc., acquired through an optical sensor, etc., and data is generated and used through this. However, such data may be achieved by performing Bluetooth communication through a smart phone or the like, and it may also be possible to write data in the form of an EEPROM by connecting a cable such as a USB cable to a laptop computer. Furthermore, since it is possible to set and update data by accessing the server through a wired or wireless Internet network, it will not be particularly limited to any one form.

The control unit 510 is in charge of overall control operations of the communication interface unit 500 , the sterilization lamp unit 520 , and the body temperature measurement unit 530 constituting FIG. 5 . For example, the control unit 510 detects the movement of the sterilization lamp unit 520 through a gyro sensor constituting the sterilization lamp unit 520, so that the direction in which the ultraviolet rays are irradiated from the sterilization lamp is directed downward, such as the floor surface. When facing downward, the distance measuring sensor is activated to irradiate light from a light emitting device of, for example, infrared or laser, and then receives the light reflected from the sterilization object through the light receiving unit. This allows the measurement of the distance to be made. When the measurement result is within the specified range, the germicidal lamp can be activated.

Of course, the control unit 510 may receive sensing data from a sensor constituting the sterilization lamp unit 520 and directly measure the distance, etc., but this operation may be performed in the sterilization lamp unit 520 . It will not specifically limit to any one form. For example, such an operation may be performed through a separately configured non-contact body temperature management unit. Accordingly, the control unit 510 may perform a control operation according to the request of the non-contact body temperature management unit.

The sterilization lamp unit 520 includes a gyro sensor, a distance measurement sensor, a sterilization lamp, and the like, and may further include an operation unit as a peripheral circuit for direction measurement or distance measurement. Of course, since such a calculation unit may be configured in the control unit 510 or the above non-contact body temperature management unit, it will not be particularly limited to any one form. When the sterilization button is selected by the user, the gyro sensor may operate under the control of the controller 510 , and when the movement is determined in a designated direction, the distance measuring sensor may be operated. In addition, when a sterilization target is detected within a specified distance as a result of the distance measurement, the sterilization lamp is activated to perform the sterilization operation.

In this process, when the direction of the germicidal lamp unit 520 deviates from a specified condition, the operation of the germicidal lamp may be temporarily stopped. For example, it is possible to stop the operation of the germicidal lamp, which was operated when it deviates from a specified angle, for example, 45 degrees, with the floor in the direction of east, west, north, south and east in a state parallel to the floor. And in the process, if the specified conditions are satisfied again within the specified time, the sterilization lamp can be restarted. Of course, since a new operation may be made from the beginning when the specified condition is deviated after the initial operation, the embodiment of the present invention will not be limited to any one form.

The body temperature measuring unit 530 includes an infrared sensor and a distance measuring sensor. When there is a request to measure body temperature from a user, the distance to the user's forehead or wrist can be measured to measure body temperature when the user is detected at a specified distance. For example, body temperature may be measured when detected within 30 mm, but this may vary depending on the performance of the infrared sensor, and the infrared sensor may be replaced with various elements such as a thermal imaging camera or a temperature sensor for measurement.

In addition, although the embodiment of the present invention has been described above, even when the sterilization lamp unit 520 faces the lower side of the floor, the body temperature measuring unit 530 is temporarily operated to determine whether the sterilization object is a real object. . For example, since a person may be detected, an operation for detecting a person and an object through the body temperature measuring unit 530 may be additionally performed. Of course, since it is possible to detect a person or an object in consideration of the reflection characteristics through the distance measuring sensor constituting the sterilization lamp unit 520, in the embodiment of the present invention, temporarily operating the body temperature measuring unit 530 is It will not be particularly limited.

In addition to the above, the communication interface unit 500, the control unit 510, the sterilization lamp unit 520, and the body temperature measurement unit 530 of FIG. 5 may perform various operations, and other details have been sufficiently described above. instead of content.

Meanwhile, as another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 510 may include a CPU and a memory, and may be formed as a single chip. The CPU includes a control circuit, an arithmetic unit (ALU), a command interpreter and a registry, and the memory may include a RAM. The control circuit performs a control operation, the operation unit performs an operation operation of binary bit information, and the instruction interpretation unit converts a high-level language into a machine language and a machine language into a high-level language, including an interpreter or compiler. , the registry may be involved in software data storage. According to the above configuration, for example, at the beginning of the operation of the non-contact thermometer 100', the data calculation processing speed can be quickly increased by copying the program stored in the non-contact body temperature management unit and loading it into memory, that is, RAM, and then executing it. have.

6 is a flowchart illustrating a driving process of the non-contact thermometer of FIG. 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 6 together with FIG. 1 for convenience of explanation, the non-contact thermometer 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention measures the user's body temperature in response to the user's body temperature measurement request (S600). In this process, the body temperature may be measured when it is within a specified distance by measuring the distance to the user.

In addition, the non-contact thermometer 100 operates the sterilization lamp unit according to a user's request for a sterilization operation, and selectively operates the sterilization lamp unit based on the result of detecting the movement of the sterilization lamp unit (S620). Here, the germicidal lamp includes an ultraviolet germicidal lamp, and when it is determined that the germicidal lamp part faces the bottom surface of the lower side, the germicidal lamp is operated when the distance is within a specified distance from the germicidal object.

Of course, in this process, an operation for determining whether the sterilization target is a person or an object may be additionally performed. This has been previously described. In addition, various operations have been described above when within the range of the specified angle.

In addition to the above, the non-contact thermometer 100 can perform various operations, and since other details have been sufficiently described above, those contents will be replaced.

On the other hand, even though it has been described that all components constituting the embodiment of the present invention are combined or operated in combination, the present invention is not necessarily limited to this embodiment. That is, within the scope of the object of the present invention, all the components may operate by selectively combining one or more. In addition, all of the components may be implemented as one independent hardware, but a part or all of each component is selectively combined to perform some or all of the combined functions in one or a plurality of hardware program modules It may be implemented as a computer program having Codes and code segments constituting the computer program can be easily inferred by those skilled in the art of the present invention. Such a computer program is stored in a computer-readable non-transitory computer readable media, read and executed by the computer, thereby implementing an embodiment of the present invention.

Here, the non-transitory readable recording medium refers to a medium that stores data semi-permanently and can be read by a device, not a medium that stores data for a short moment, such as a register, cache, memory, etc. .
