Patent Images
1. A method of warning about undesired body temperatures, the method comprising:
- determining that a monitoring device is being worn by an animal based on a presence sensor of the monitoring device;
monitoring the body temperature of the animal by via a thermal sensor of the monitoring device while the monitoring device is being worn by the animal;
transmitting a first warning message to a remote device in response to both the following conditions being simultaneously satisfied;
the presence sensor indicating that the device is being worn by the animal;
the thermal sensor indicating that the body temperature of the animal satisfies a first temperature threshold.

Abstract
Methods and systems for avoiding undesired body temperatures in children, the elderly/infirm, and/or animals by transmitting one or more warning messages to one or more predetermined recipients so that corrective action can be taken. Using a child as an example, a wearable monitoring device is used to sense the presence of the child and to sense the body temperature of the child. When the monitoring device detects that it is being worn and that the sensed body temperature satisfies a threshold, the monitoring device transmits a warning message.

12. An body temperature warning system, comprising:
a wearable device comprising; a presence sensor configured to detect when the wearable device is being worn by an animal; a thermal sensor configured to measure a body temperature of the animal when the animal is wearing the wearable device; a wireless communications transmitter; a controller operatively connected to the presence sensor, the thermal sensor, and the transmitter; and
configured to cause the transmitter to transmit a first warning message in response to both the following conditions being simultaneously satisfied;the presence sensor indicates that the device is being worn by the animal; the thermal sensor indicates that the body temperature of the animal meets or exceeds a first temperature threshold. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
