Abstract

A temperature display device includes an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is located so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections with division lines and displays the same, as well as displaying the division lines in different colors according to the temperature values in the respective sections measured by the two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor

Claims

1. A temperature display device comprising an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is located so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections with division lines and displays the same, as well as displaying the division lines in different colors according to the temperature values in the respective sections measured by the two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor.

6. A temperature monitor system comprising client computers connected to any one of the temperature display devices according to claims 1 to 5, and an administration server connected to the client computers via the Internet, in which the administration server is capable of receiving output data of the temperature display device.

2. A temperature display device comprising an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is disposed so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections and displays the same, as well as displaying a measured temperature value of each grid-like section in the form of numeric digits.

3. A temperature display device comprising an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is disposed so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections with division lines, and, if a temperature value in any one of the grid-like sections exceeds a certain value, displays corresponding division lines in blinking mode.

4. A temperature display device comprising an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is disposed so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections with division lines, and, if a temperature value measured within any one of the grid-like sections exceeds a certain value, displays an area of the captured image in that section in blinking mode.

5. A temperature display device comprising an imaging device for capturing a visible image, a two-dimensional radiation temperature sensor that is disposed so as to be capable of non-contact measuring of temperatures at multiple points within a visual field of the imaging device, and a display for displaying the captured image of the imaging device, in which the display divides the captured image into grid-like sections with division lines, and if a temperature measured within any one of the grid-like sections exceeds a certain value, displays an area of the captured image in that section in blinking mode in a different color assigned to the measured temperature value.
