Abstract

A mobile phone includes a temperature detection system, a vibration detection system, memory, a processor, and a touch display. The temperature detection system detects a body temperature of an user. The vibration detection system detects a pulse rate of the user. The memory is configured for storing a predetermined temperature range and a predetermined pulse rate range. The processor receives and compares the body temperature of the user with the predetermined temperature range, receives and compares the pulse rate of the user with the predetermined pulse rate range to generate comparing results. The processor generates a warning message according to the comparing results. The touch display is connected to the processor for receiving and displaying the warning message.

Claims

1. A mobile phone, comprising:

a temperature detection system configured for detecting a body temperature of a user;

a vibration detection system configured for detecting a pulse rate of the user;

a memory configured for storing a predetermined temperature range and a predetermined pulse rate range;

a processor configured for receiving and comparing the body temperature of the user with the predetermined temperature range, receiving and comparing the pulse rate of the user with the predetermined pulse rate range to generate comparing results, the processor configured for generating a warning message according to comparing results; and

a touch display connected to the processor for receiving and displaying the warning message.

2. The mobile phone of claim 1, wherein the processor automatically performs a health inspection function as soon as the mobile phone is powered on.

3. The mobile phone of claim 1, wherein the touch display is configured for receiving a touch action from a user and generating a touch signal according to the touch action.

4. The mobile phone of claim 3, wherein the memory is configured for storing a predetermined touch area parameter of the touch display, the processor analyzes the touch signal to obtain a current touch area of the touch display.

5. The mobile phone of claim 4, wherein the processor compares the current touch area with the predetermined touch area parameter to perform the health inspection function in response to the current touch area being larger than the predetermined touch area parameter.

6. The mobile phone of claim 5, wherein the processor sends a temperature detecting command to the temperature detection system and sends a vibration detecting command to the vibration detection system when the processor performs the health inspection function.

7. The mobile phone of claim 1, wherein the temperature detection system comprises a first analog to digital converter (ADC) connected to the processor, a first controller connected to the processor, and a temperature sensor connected between the first ADC and the first controller.

8. The mobile phone of claim 7, wherein the temperature sensor is integrated with an often used control component of the mobile phone.

9. The mobile phone of claim 1, wherein the predetermined temperature range comprises a first temperature range of 35-36°

C., a second temperature range of 36-38°

C. and a third temperature range of 38-42°

C.

10. The mobile phone of claim 9, wherein the predetermined pulse rate range comprises a first pulse rate range of 50-60 times/minute, a second pulse rate range of 60-100 times/minute, and a third pulse rate range of 100-120 times/minute.

11. The mobile phone of claim 10, wherein the touch display displays the body temperature of the user and the pulse rate of the user.

12. The mobile phone of claim 10, wherein the processor generates a first warning message when the body temperature of the user is in range of the first temperature range of 35-36°

C. and the pulse rate of the user is in range of the second pulse rate range of 60-100 times/minute.

13. The mobile phone of claim 12, wherein the first warning message comprises congratulatory words.

14. The mobile phone of claim 12, wherein the processor generates a second warning message when the body temperature of the user is in range of the second temperature range of 35-36°

C. and/or the pulse rate of the user is in range of the first pulse rate range of 50-60 times/minute or the third pulse rate range of 100-120 times/minute.

15. The mobile phone of claim 14, wherein the second warning message comprises suggestion words.

16. The mobile phone of claim 1, further comprising a sound detection system configured for detecting heartbeat of the user.

17. The mobile phone of claim 1, wherein the processor generates a warning message when the heartbeat of the user is in range of 50-60 times/minute or 100-120 times/minute.

18. A method for inspecting health of a user using a mobile phone comprising a touch display, comprising:

analyzing a body temperature of a user by a temperature detection system of the mobile phone;

determining if the body temperature of the user is in range of an abnormal temperature range;

analyzing a pulse rate of the user by a vibration detection system of the mobile phone; and

determining if the pulse rate of the user is in range of an abnormal pulse rate range displaying a warning message on the touch display when the pulse rate of the user is in range of an abnormal pulse rate range, or the pulse rate of the user is in range of an abnormal pulse rate range.

19. The method for inspecting health of a user of claim 18, further comprising generating a touch signal by the touch display and determining if a current touch area corresponding to the touch signal is larger than a predetermined touch area parameter before analyzing the body temperature of the user.

20. The method for inspecting health of a user of claim 18, wherein the temperature detection system comprises a temperature sensor, and the vibration detection system comprises a vibration sensor.
