ELECTRONIC THERMOMETER
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- establishing, by a mobile computing device executing a thermometer application, a wireless connection to an electronic infrared thermometer;
sending a first control signal to the electronic infrared thermometer via the wireless connection, wherein the first control signal causes the electronic infrared thermometer to activate an infrared detector to generate one or more temperature measurements;
receiving the one or more temperature measurements;
determining, by the mobile computing device, a temperature of a patient based on the one or more temperature measurements; and
outputting an indication of the temperature.

Abstract
Embodiments cover an electronic infrared thermometer and a user device that executes a thermometer module. In one embodiment, the electronic infrared thermometer includes a body, a thermopile housed within the body, and a wireless module housed within the body and electrically coupled to the thermopile. The wireless module is configured to receive a first signal from the user device, transition the electronic infrared thermometer out of a low power state responsive to receipt of the first signal and establish a wireless connection with the user device. The wireless module is further configured to receive a second signal from the user device via the wireless connection, cause the thermopile to activate, receive one or more temperature measurements from the thermopile, and transmit the one or more temperature measurements to the user device via the wireless connection.
