Abstract

A non-touch thermometer to measure a temperature that includes a microprocessor, a wireless communication subsystem that is operably coupled to the microprocessor and that is operable to transmit a representation of the temperature, a battery operably coupled to the microprocessor, a single button operably coupled to the microprocessor, a digital infrared sensor operably coupled to the microprocessor with no analog-to-digital converter operably coupled between the digital infrared sensor and the microprocessor, the digital infrared sensor having only digital readout ports, and a display device operably coupled to the microprocessor, wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive from the digital readout ports a digital signal that is representative of an infrared signal detected by the digital infrared sensor and the microprocessor is operable to determine the temperature from the digital signal that is representative of the infrared signal, wherein the non-touch thermometer does not support specific discovery protocols or domain name service.
