First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for measuring a temperature in an electronic device, the method comprising:
- measuring an amount of light of an optical signal reflected off of an object;
determining a size of a temperature measurement expectation area on the object based on the measured amount of light;
comparing the determined size of the temperature measurement expectation area to a size of a reference area; and
outputting a temperature measurement guide message based on a result of the comparing operation.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for measuring a temperature in an electronic device. An amount of light of an optical signal reflected off of an object is measured, and a size of a temperature measurement expectation area on the object based is determined based on the measured amount of light. A temperature measurement guide message is output based on a result of comparing the determined size and a reference area.

11. An apparatus for measuring a temperature in an electronic device, the apparatus comprising:
-
a photo sensor; a temperature sensor; and a processor configured to receive an optical signal reflected off of an object through the photo sensor, measure an amount of light of the optical signal that reflected off the object, determine a size of a temperature measurement expectation area on the object based on the measured amount of light, and output a temperature measurement guide message based on a result of comparing the determined size of the temperature measurement expectation area to a size of a reference area. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
