Abstract

A system, method, and apparatus for alerting temperature is disclosed. The system includes a temperature alert device configured to be housed within a housing, wherein the device is a wearable device including at least a sensor configured to continuously collect the body temperature of the wearer and indicate the body temperature of the wearer continuously through a light emitting mechanism based on the body temperature collected by the sensor in a manner that does significantly deplete battery life of the device.

Claims (35)

1. A system for alerting a temperature comprising:

a wearable device comprising a processor, a power supply, and at least one sensor, wherein the wearable device is configured to be in proximal contact with an animate part of a user;

wherein the at least one sensor is communicatively coupled to a light emitting mechanism;

wherein the at least one sensor is configured to collect an internal body temperature associated with the user in real-time; and

wherein the light emitting mechanism is configured to continuously execute a predetermined alert activity in response to the processor determining the internal body temperature exceeding a predetermined threshold of a first predetermined threshold of 94° F., a second predetermined threshold of 99.6° F., and a third predetermined threshold of 100.4° F., wherein the predetermined alert activity is different for each of the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the predetermined alert activity is a specific color being emitted from the light emitting mechanism [based on the internal body temperature falling below, within, or exceeding] for the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds, respectively.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the light emitting mechanism emitting green, amber, and red for the first, second, and third predetermined thresholds, respectively.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the least one sensor is configured to collect the internal body temperature continuously at a plurality of predetermined time intervals.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust an intensity of the predetermined alert activity based on a charge status of the power supply.

6. The system of claim 1 , the processor comprising an energy preservation mode configured to reduce operational capacity of the power supply based upon the processor detecting a lack of change of the internal body temperature for a time period exceeding a predetermined time threshold.

7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the power source is a 75 mAh 3.7 volt battery.

8. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a digital interface configured to display the internal body temperature and a current digital time.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor, the power supply, and the at least one sensor are integrated in a device and includes a charging tab that extends from the device, and wherein the device fits into and is retained in an interior opening of a wearable housing composed of at least a portion of wearable material.

10. A wearable device for alerting a temperature comprising:

a processor;

a power supply coupled to the processor;

and at least one sensor, wherein the wearable device is configured to be in proximal contact with an animate part of a user and configured to collect an internal body temperature associated with the user in real-time, and wherein the at least one sensor is operably coupled to the processor;

a light emitting mechanism operably coupled to the processor; and

wherein the processor is configured to control the light emitting mechanism to continuously execute a predetermined alert activity in response to the processor determining the internal body temperature exceeding a predetermined threshold as indicated by the at least one sensor and based on a location of the sensor on the user, wherein the predetermined alert activity indicates a range of a plurality of ranges in which the internal body temperature fall, wherein the plurality of ranges includes at least one range that is above a normal body temperature range.

11. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined alert activity is a specific color being emitted from the light emitting mechanism based on the internal body temperature exceeding the predetermined threshold.

12. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the predetermined threshold comprises a plurality of predetermined thresholds wherein a first predetermined threshold is 94° F., a second predetermined threshold is 99.6° F., and a third predetermined threshold is 100.4° F. resulting in the light emitting mechanism emitting green, amber, and red respectively.

13. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the least one sensor is configured to collect the internal body temperature continuously at a plurality of predetermined time intervals.

14. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor is configured to adjust the predetermined alert activity based on the processor detecting a change of the internal body temperature outside of the predetermined threshold.

15. The wearable device of claim 10 , the processor comprising an energy preservation mode configured to reduce operational capacity of the power supply based upon the processor detecting a lack of change of the internal body temperature for a time period exceeding a predetermined time threshold.

16. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the power source is a 75 mAh 3.7 volt battery.

17. The wearable device of claim 10 , further comprising a digital interface configured to display the internal body temperature and a current digital time.

18. The wearable device of claim 10 , wherein the processor, the power supply, and the at least one sensor are integrated in a housing pluggable into a universal serial bus port, and wherein the housing is amalgamated into an at least partially made of rubber covering.

19. A method for alerting a temperature comprising:

receiving, at a temperature alert device via at least one sensor of the temperature alert device that is in proximal contact with an animate part of a user, an internal body temperature of the user in real-time;

determining, via a processor of the temperature alert device, whether the internal body temperature falls below or exceeds a predetermined threshold;

executing, via a light emitting mechanism of the temperature alert device, a predetermined alert activity based on the determination; and

wherein executing the predetermined alert activity is performed by adjusting an intensity of predetermined alert activity based on a battery status of a battery of the temperature alert device.

20. The method of claim 19 , further comprising:

extracting the least one sensor from a housing; and

applying the at least one sensor to a body cavity to receive the internal body temperature of the user in real-time.
