1. A cellular phone capable of measuring temperature including;
- a CPU, IR temperature measurement means including a plurality of pins each coupled to a corresponding one of a plurality of pins of the CPU, a power supply IC for supplying power to the IR temperature measurement means, and an IR sensor, wherein a first GPO pin and a second GPO pin of the CPU are adapted to control power supply of the power supply IC and start or stop of the IR temperature measurement means respectively, and in response to receiving a temperature measurement signal, the CPU enables the first GPO pin to be at a low level so that the power supply IC is able to supply power to the IR temperature measurement means; and
enables the second GPO pin to be at a low level after a predetermined period of time has lapsed so that the IR temperature measurement means is able to send measured temperature data to the CPU via an I2C thereof.
