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 (39)

1. A medical monitoring system, comprising:

a wearable accessory, configured to be worn on a patient and comprising:

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

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

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

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

wherein the central computer is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature exceeds a 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 a camera associated with the wearable accessory for monitoring the patient.

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. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the central computer is further configured to send a warning message to a portable device upon the body temperature exceeding the predetermined range.

5. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the central computer is further configured to control the dosing equipment to stop dosing when the body temperature recovers to be within the predetermined range.

6. A medical monitoring system, comprising:

multiple wearable accessories, each configured to be worn on a patient and comprising:

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

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

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,

wherein the central computer system is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature associated with the one wearable accessory 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.

7. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 6 , 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 corresponding temperature message associated with the one wearable accessory exceeds the predetermined range.

8. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the display is further configured to show images acquired by a camera associated with the one wearable accessory for monitoring the patient.

9. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the central computer system comprises a tablet computer, a desktop computer or a notebook computer.

10. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the central computer system is further configured to send a warning message to a portable device upon the body temperature associated with the one wearable accessory exceeding the predetermined range.

11. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the central computer system is further configured to control the dosing equipment to stop dosing when the body temperature recovers to be within the predetermined range.

12. 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; and

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

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

wherein the central computer is further configured to automatically turn on a dosing equipment to dose when the body temperature exceeds a 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.

13. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the display is further configured to show images acquired by a camera associated with the electronic device for monitoring the human body.

14. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the central computer is a tablet computer, a desktop computer or a notebook computer.

15. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the central computer is further configured to provide a warning message upon a temperature difference between a core temperature and a limb temperature of the human body exceeding a difference threshold.

16. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the central computer is further configured to send a warning message to a portable device upon the body temperature exceeding the predetermined range.

17. The medical monitoring system as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the central computer is further configured to control the dosing equipment to stop dosing when the body temperature recovers to be within the predetermined range.
