Abstract

In this paper we design a convenient wireless temperature measuring device that is intended primarily for large numbers of users, not for individual use. Temperature recording for continuous measurement can be done through Bluetooth transmission or by inserting an infrared thermo sensor into the smartphone´s headphone jack. An application on a smartphone allows immediate measurement of the temperature, and both the measurement and a user´s archive photo taken at the same time are sent to a remote server over the wireless network. Users can check their long-term body temperature information instantly through the Internet.
