Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile communication terminal equipped with temperature compensation function for use in bio-information measurement, including a biosensor insertion in which a biosensor directly detecting bio-information of a subject is inserted, a temperature measurement unit measuring temperatures, and a controller analyzing the bio-information inputted from the biosensor based on stored analysis data and correcting the bio-information using the temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit, in which the temperature measurement unit measures temperature of a target object without contacting the target object directly.

Claims

1. A mobile communication terminal equipped with temperature compensation function for use in bio-information measurement, including

a biosensor insertion in which a biosensor directly detecting bio-information of a subject is inserted,

a temperature measurement unit measuring temperatures, and

a controller analyzing the bio-information inputted from the biosensor based on stored analysis data and correcting the bio-information using the temperature measured by the temperature measurement unit,

wherein the temperature measurement unit measures temperatures of a biosensor housing containing the biosensor without contacting the biosensor housing directly, and

wherein the controller corrects the bio-information using the temperature of the biosensor housing measured by the temperature measurement unit.

2. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1, wherein the biosensor includes glucose oxidase or glucose dehydrogenase.

3. The mobile communication terminal of claim 1, wherein the temperature measurement unit is a non-contact temperature sensor.

4. The mobile communication terminal of claim 3, wherein the non-contact temperature sensor is an infrared temperature sensor.
