Temperature measuring device and temperature measuring method
First Claim
1. A temperature measuring device comprising:
- a flexible sheet having its one surface endowed with stickiness for application to a surface of a subject, said flexible sheet being provided with an opening; and
a temperature data detecting means for detecting a temperature of the inside of the opening,wherein a detecting part of the temperature data detecting means is so disposed as to be exposed to the inside of the opening with nothing but an air layer between the surface of the subject and an opposing surface of the detecting part.

Abstract
A temperature measuring device and a temperature measuring method are provided which are capable of obtaining precise measured temperature values with respect even to old persons, sucklings or infants, which device may be formed into a disposable type according to need, which method may be carried out using such a disposable type device according to need, and which enable precise temperature measurement in real time. An on-subject temperature measuring device 1, which is attached to a subject when a temperature of the subject is measured, receives a radio wave from a reader 2 as an external device and is thereby electrically powered. Using the electric power, temperature measurement is performed in the on-subject temperature measuring device 1. The results of the measurement are transmitted through radio waves to the reader 2 in the form of a temperature of the subject and ID data. The reader 2 is so constructed as to be connectable to a personal computer (not shown), and data processing by the personal computer is performed according to need.

21. A temperature measuring method comprising:
-
providing a flexible sheet with an opening; attaching the flexible sheet to a surface of a subject to thereby form an air layer sealed by the opening; and measuring a temperature of the air layer by means of a temperature data detecting means, wherein a detecting part of the temperature data detecting means is so disposed as to be exposed to the inside of the opening with nothing but an air layer between the surface of the subject and an opposing surface of the detecting part. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25)
