Abstract

A temperature monitoring system includes a detection module, a control module with a predetermined temperature value, and a display module. The detection module is configured to detect and generate an actual temperature value. The control module is configured to compare the actual temperature with the predetermined temperature value. The display module coupled to the detection module via the control module, and is configured to display the actual temperature value. When the control module identifies the actual temperature value is greater than the predetermined temperature value, the display module is controlled by the control module to display an alert indicator. The present disclosure further discloses a temperature monitoring method.

Claims

1. A temperature monitoring system comprising:

a detection module configured to detect and generate an actual temperature value;

a control module storing a predetermined temperature value, and configured to compare the actual temperature with the predetermined temperature value; and

a display module coupled to the detection module via the control module, and configured to display the actual temperature value;

wherein when the control module identifies the actual temperature value is greater than the predetermined temperature value, the display module is controlled to display an alert indicator by the control module.

2. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1, further comprising an alarm module coupled to the control module;

wherein when the control module identifies the actual temperature value is greater than the predetermined temperature value, the alarm module is controlled by the control module to sound alarm.

3. The temperature monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the alarm module comprises a switch coupled to the control module, and the switch is switched on/off by the control module.

4. The temperature monitoring system of claim 3, wherein the alarm module further comprises a buzzer for alarming, the buzzer is coupled to the switch and is turned on/off by the switch.

5. The temperature monitoring system of claim 4, wherein the switch is a transistor;

a base of the transistor is coupled to the control module, an emitter of the transistor is coupled to the buzzer, and a collector of the transistor is grounding.

6. The temperature monitoring system of claim 2, wherein a limiting resistor is coupled between the control module and the alarm module, to limit the electric current from the control module to the alarm module.

7. The temperature monitoring system of claim 2, wherein the control module comprises a timing unit for measuring time;

and the display module displays the time and the actual temperature value synchronously.

8. The temperature monitoring system of claim 7, wherein the control module further comprises a storage unit for storing the actual temperature value.

9. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1, wherein the display module comprises an alarm widget for display the alert indicator.

10. The temperature monitoring system of claim 1, further comprising a switch module coupled between the control module and the display module, and the control module is configured to communicate with the display module via the switch module.

11. A temperature monitoring method comprising:

detecting environment temperature and generating an actual temperature value;

displaying the actual temperature value;

comparing the actual temperature value with a predetermined temperature value; and

displaying an alert indicator when the actual temperature value is greater than the predetermined temperature value.

12. The temperature monitoring method of claim 11, further comprising transmitting an alarm signal to control a display module to display the alert indicator.

13. The temperature monitoring method of claim 11, further comprising displaying a normal indicator when the actual temperature value is less than or equal to the predetermined temperature value.

14. The temperature monitoring method of claim 13, further comprising transmitting a normal signal to control a display module to display the normal indicator.

15. The temperature monitoring method of claim 11, further comprising controlling an alarm module to sound alarm when the actual temperature value is greater than the predetermined temperature value.

16. The temperature monitoring method of claim 15, further comprising transmitting a control signal to control an alarm module to sound alarm.

17. The temperature monitoring method of claim 16, wherein the alarm module comprises a switch, and the switch is switched on/off by the control signal.

18. The temperature monitoring method of claim 17, wherein the switch is a transistor.

19. A temperature monitoring system comprising:
