CELL PHONE APP FOR COUPLING A CELL PHONE TO A BASAL BODY TEMPERATURE THERMOMETER FOR PREDICTING OVULATION
First Claim
1. An ovulation prediction system comprising:
- a thermometer coupled to a mobile communication device,said thermometer being configured to take temperature measurements and including an encoder configured to encode the temperature measurements and transmit the encoded temperature measurements to the mobile communication device;
the mobile communication device including an application for receiving and analyzing said encoded temperature measurements to determine whether the temperature measurements are satisfactory or unsatisfactory based on a set of predetermined characteristics; and
the application being adapted to give feedback to the user in real-time in accordance with the temperature measurement, the application being further adapted to provide an ovulation prediction.

Abstract
A system for predicting ovulation cycles by employing an application running on a mobile communication device such as an iPhone®, a Blackberry™, or an Android-based smartphone is provided. The system includes a basal body temperature thermometer coupled to a mobile communication device. The thermometer takes temperature measurements, encodes the temperature measurements and transmits the encoded temperature measurements to the mobile communication device. The mobile communication device receives and decodes the encoded temperature measurements. The mobile communication device includes an application that analyzes the decoded temperature measurements to determine whether they are satisfactory or unsatisfactory, provides feedback to a user in real-time and provides an ovulation prediction.

12. A method of operating an interactive system for predicting ovulation, comprising the steps of:
-
coupling, by a user, a thermometer to a mobile communication device; measuring, by the thermometer, of the user'"'"'s basal body temperature; encoding, by the thermometer, of the user'"'"'s basal body temperature into a format that the mobile communication device is configured to decode; transmitting, by the thermometer, of the encoded basal body temperature measurement, to the mobile communication device; receiving and decoding, by the mobile communication device, the encoded basal body temperature measurement; communicating, by the mobile communication device, to an application integrated within the mobile communication device, the decoded basal body temperature measurement; analyzing, by the application, of the decoded basal body temperature measurement to determine whether the measurement is satisfactory or unsatisfactory; and providing feedback and an ovulation prediction to the user in real-time. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
