First Claim
Patent Images
1. A portable data capture and relay terminal, comprising:
- a) a mobile housing movable from one geographic location to another geographic location;
b) a global positioning system receiver supported by the mobile housing, for determining a selected geographic location of the mobile housing;
c) a temperature sensor supported by the mobile housing for joint movement therewith, for detecting a temperature of a target at the selected geographic location external to the terminal;
d) a camera supported by the mobile housing and including a two-dimensional image sensor for recording a two-dimensional image of the target at the selected geographic location;
e) a memory supported by the mobile housing, for storing data representing the image and temperature data representing the temperature; and
f) a transmitter supported by the mobile housing, for transmitting the stored image data and the stored temperature data to an external host.

Abstract
A data terminal includes a digital camera for capturing an image and data processing/storage/encoding means for processing the image information, together with an internal server for creating a web site at the terminal displaying the image. As a result high resolution image information is immediately accessible to authorized users and instantly recorded.

9. A method of capturing and relaying data, comprising the steps of:
-
a) moving a mobile housing from one geographic location to another geographic location; b) determining a selected geographic location of the mobile housing by operation of a global positioning system receiver supported by the mobile housing; c) detecting a temperature of a target at the selected geographic location external to the terminal by operation of a temperature sensor supported by the mobile housing for joint movement therewith; d) recording a two-dimensional image of the target at the selected geographic location by operation of a camera supported by the mobile housing; e) storing data representing the image and temperature data representing the temperature in a memory supported by the mobile housing; and f) transmitting the stored image data and the stored temperature data to an external host by operation of a transmitter supported by the mobile housing. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)
