Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus are provided through which in some implementations a non-contact thermometer is diagnosed and calibrated under instruction of a mobile phone.

Claims

1. A method of a non-contact thermometer, the method comprising:

connecting to a mobile device via a cable;

recognizing the mobile device;

entering a calibration and diagnostic mode;

sending configuration data to the mobile device;

receiving generated diagnostic instructions for the non-contact thermometer from the mobile device;

performing the generated diagnostic instructions, yielding results of performed diagnostic instructions;

transmitting the results of the performed diagnostic instructions to the mobile device;

receiving generated calibration instructions for the non-contact thermometer from the mobile device;

performing the generated calibration instructions, yielding results of performed calibration instructions; and

transmitting the results of the performed calibration instructions to the mobile device.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the cable further comprises:

a USB cable.

3. A method of a non-contact thermometer, the method comprising:

sending configuration data to a mobile device;

receiving diagnostic instructions for the non-contact thermometer from the mobile device;

transmitting results of the diagnostic instructions to the mobile device;

receiving calibration instructions for the non-contact thermometer from the mobile device; and

transmitting the results of the calibration instructions to the mobile device.

4. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

connecting to the mobile device via a cable.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the cable further comprises:

a USB cable.

6. The method of claim 4, further comprising:

recognizing the mobile device.

7. The method of claim 6, further comprising:

entering a calibration and diagnostic mode.

8. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

performing the diagnostic instructions, yielding results of diagnostic instructions.

9. The method of claim 3, further comprising:

performing the calibration instructions, yielding results of performed calibration instructions.

10. A non-transitory computer-accessible medium having computer executable instructions to control a non-contact thermometer, the computer executable instructions capable of directing a processor to perform:

receiving calibration instructions for the non-contact thermometer from a mobile device; and

transmitting results of the calibration instructions to the mobile device.

11. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 10, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

sending configuration data to the mobile device.

12. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 11, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

receiving diagnostic instructions for the non-contact thermometer from the mobile device.

13. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 12 wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

performing the diagnostic instructions, yielding results of diagnostic instructions.

14. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 13, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

transmitting results of the diagnostic instructions to the mobile device.

15. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 10, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

connecting to the mobile device via a cable.

16. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 15, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

recognizing the mobile device.

17. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 16, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

entering a calibration and diagnostic mode.

18. The non-transitory computer-accessible medium of claim 10, wherein the computer executable instructions further comprise computer executable instructions capable of directing the processor to perform:

performing the calibration instructions, yielding results of performed calibration instructions.
