Abstract

There is provided a recognition system adaptable to a portable device or a wearable device. The recognition system senses a body heat using a thermal sensor, and performs functions such as the living body recognition, image denoising and body temperature prompting according to detected results.

Claims (35)

1. A medical monitoring system, comprising:

a wearable accessory, comprising:

a thermal sensor, configured to measure a body temperature of a patient; and

a transmitter, configured to send a temperature message of the body temperature and a label message of the wearable accessory;

a central computer, configured to receive the temperature message from the wearable accessory, and comprising:

a display, configured to show a temporal distribution of the body temperature,

a camera, configured to be turned on by the central computer to monitor the patient when the body temperature exceeds a predetermined range, wherein the camera is turned off when the body temperature does not exceed the predetermined range to protect patient privacy,

wherein the central computer is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature exceeds the predetermined range, and

the display is further configured to show a relationship between dosage of the dosing equipment and a variation of the body temperature.

2. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display is further configured to show images acquired by the camera.

3. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the wearable accessory is a smart watch, a smart armband or a smart bracelet.

4. A medical monitoring system, comprising:

multiple wearable accessories, each comprising:

a thermal sensor, configured to measure a body temperature of a patient; and

a transmitter, configured to send a temperature message of the body temperature and a label message of the wearable accessory;

a central computer system, comprising:

multiple receivers, arranged at different locations and coupled to the central computer system, each receiver being configured to receive a corresponding temperature message and a corresponding label message; and

a display, configured to show a temporal distribution of the body temperature associated with one wearable accessory; and

a camera, configured to be turned on by the central computer system to monitor the patient whose body temperature exceeds a predetermined range, wherein the camera is turned off when the body temperature does not exceed the predetermined range to protect patient privacy,

wherein the central computer is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature exceeds the predetermined range, and

the display is further configured to show a relationship between dosage of the dosing equipment and a variation of the body temperature.

5. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the display is configured to show the temporal distribution of the body temperature associated with the one wearable accessory when the body temperature indicated by the temperature message associated with the one wearable accessory exceeds the predetermined range.

6. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the display is further configured to show images acquired by the camera.

7. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the central computer system comprises a tablet computer, a desktop computer or a notebook computer.

8. A medical monitoring system, comprising:

an electronic device, comprising:

a thermal sensor, configured to monitor a body temperature of a human body without contacting the human body; and

a transmitter, configured to send a temperature message of the body temperature and a label message of the electronic device;

a central computer, configured to receive the temperature message from the electronic device, and comprising:

a display, configured to show a temporal distribution of the body temperature; and

a camera, configured to be turned on by the central computer to monitor the human body when the body temperature exceeds a predetermined range, wherein the camera is turned off when the body temperature does not exceed the predetermined range to protect patient privacy,

wherein the central computer is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature exceeds the predetermined range, and

the display is further configured to show a relationship between dosage of the dosing equipment and a variation of the body temperature.

9. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the display is further configured to show images acquired by the camera.

10. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the central computer is a tablet computer, a desktop computer or a notebook computer.
