Abstract

PURPOSE: A real time digital thermometer with a display and alarm function is provided to immediately diagnose abnormality of a human body, thereby rapidly coping with the abnormality. CONSTITUTION: A controller(280) is mounted in a display panel(210) to control the entire digital thermometer and processes signals detected form a plurality of human body temperature sensors(110) in an A/D converter(140). The controller compares a signal which is successively inputted through a buffer(150) with a set reference value to make a person who wears the digital thermometer recognize the comparison result by a display panel and an LED display unit(220). An interface unit(300) transmits stored human body temperature data to an external medial organization through a wireless and wired communication network.

Description

Real time digital thermometer with display and notification function {Real Time Digital Thermometer With Notice and Signal Function}

The present invention relates to a real-time digital thermometer having a display and notification function, and more particularly, digitally processing a signal value input from a body temperature sensor having a zigzag in a band having a velcro and having a velcro attached thereto. Four-color display and notification function that notifies previous body temperature, current temperature and abnormality along with the current time, and configured to enable two-way communication with medical institutions, real-time self-diagnosis, as well as sharing the temperature information to the wearer and surrounding people A digital convergence device for ubiquitous implementation to prevent and cope with infections of new strains such as swine flu, which are becoming popular will be.

In modern society, all people are inevitably exposed to physical contact with their neighbors and non-contact by environment. In particular, with the growing interest and concern about influenza, which is spreading around the world in recent years, various methods for excluding harmful factors to health are being developed and various technologies are being developed.

As one of these methods, a method of detecting an individual's body temperature is used, and the displacement of the body temperature is a basic and important signal of the body abnormality. Recently, it is common to measure body temperature by contacting a part of the body by using a resistance digital thermometer which is popularized in each household.

However, it has been pointed out that such a resistance digital thermometer requires a measurement time of several seconds to several tens of seconds for each thermometer, and that the measurement is inaccurate due to a slight change in the measurement result. When going out, there are various problems such as inconvenience of having to carry the measuring device separately and covering the measuring place.

Therefore, self-diagnosis as well as self-diagnosis by not only self-diagnosis through body temperature measurement, which is the most basic of health check, anytime, anywhere, anytime, it is necessary to secure mutual safety and to cope quickly when a change in body temperature occurs. There is this. Also, with the proliferation of new inflation, which is becoming an international issue, the issue of whether students attend school, overseas immigration, meetings and festivals of each group is a big issue, and the detection of people's body temperature is becoming a daily life. Nevertheless, it is difficult to detect the temperature state of students or the public from time to time, and it is impossible to recognize the temperature change of an individual in a group. In addition, even if it is recognized, it is too late to comprehend the symptoms and to check the condition after appealing the symptoms to the surroundings. Therefore, not only each individual but also in the public, such as parents, schools, schools, banks, department stores, military units, etc., individuals can ask for immediate help or respond to them by knowing their temperature in real time with those around them. This is urgently needed.

Various methods have been developed and applied in the method of measuring body temperature.Infrared digital thermometers are inserted into the ear and used as a method for detecting the body temperature and passing the traffic for each individual at the time of entering and leaving the country and at school. have.

However, this device has a problem that it is difficult to detect each individual when a large number of crowds flock in a certain time frame, and it is possible to immediately detect within a few seconds, but there is an unsanitary problem of inserting detection equipment into an individual's own. In addition, it is also pointed out that it is difficult to respond quickly to displacement occurring in the crowd in real time after the passage.

On the other hand, according to the prior art, according to the "wrist type health care device" of the Republic of Korea Patent Publication No. 2009-0099147 (published: September 22, 2009), press the wrist in a way to check the health of the wearer Is provided with an air tube for reducing the pressure, the body portion 110, the cuff portion surrounding the wearer's wrist 120 and the measuring plate portion 200, the body portion 110 is a display portion 130, a plurality of front The operation switch 140 and the second ECG sensor parts 250a and 250b, the blood glucose measurement part 150 is provided on the side surface, and the cuff part 120 and the measurement plate part 200 are provided on the rear surface thereof. A technique has been proposed (see FIG. 1).

However, this prior art can know more measurement results such as oxygen saturation, pulse rate, pulse pressure, body temperature, electrocardiogram, body fat, blood pressure, etc. Not only do not know, but there is a problem that it is difficult to prevent and cope with abnormalities because it is not possible to secure mutual safety by sharing with neighbors. In addition, there is a problem in that it is inconvenient to carry in the volume side of many measuring devices. In addition, there is a technical limitation that is limited to the self-diagnosis function of the wearer who can not be diagnosed by the medical institution or third party through the wireless communication.

In addition, according to the "biological signal measurer" of the Republic of Korea Application Publication No. 2009-0019365 (published: February 25, 2009) according to the "biological signal measurer" to form a small size and wear a bracelet (ring) form on the wrist or ankle that is part of the human body It has been proposed to provide a ubiquitous bio-signal measuring device that can check the bio-signals, such as pulse, body temperature, etc. at regular intervals and wirelessly deliver the health state according to the check result.

However, this prior art includes a function of wirelessly transmitting the detection result to a third party through an interface function, but since the configuration of a separate server and a large number of measurement devices for transmission is not only complicated, but also a third party Or there is no display function and alarm function to detect the detection result to the neighbors, it is not possible to secure the confidence and safety from sharing between the wearer and the neighbors. In addition, since the body temperature measured at the wrist or ankle is about 3 ° C between the normal body temperature of 36.5 ° C and the wrist body temperature of 33.5 ° C, there is no user preset mode function for the body temperature compensation value. Would say
