- a computerized method for detecting a core temperature of a person may include: receiving multiple temperature readings obtained by scanning a temperature sensor across a skin area of a person, the skin area covers at least one blood vessel, to provide multiple temperature readings; the multiple temperature readings comprise a peak temperature reading; and determining, by a processor, an estimate of the core temperature of the person in response to at least one temperature reading that differs from the peak temperature reading.

- core temperature means the temperature of deep structures of the body, such as the liver, that differs from the temperature of the skin.
- FIG. 1A illustrates a mobile phone 10 according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the mobile phone 10 may have a touch screen 16 , a back panel 12 and sidewalls such as upper sidewall 11 and left sidewall 19 .
- FIG. 1A that back panel 12 as including an opening for a lens 13 of a camera and an opening 14 that reveals a temperature sensor 15 that is proximate to the back panel 12 .
- Mobile phone 10 includes a processor such as processor 33 .
- FIG. 1B illustrates the mobile phone 20 as including the opening 14 at its upper sidewall 14 and this opening reveals the temperature sensor 15 that is proximate to its upper sidewall 11 .
- a person may scan a skin area in various manners—he may scan the skin area without contacting the skin area by the mobile phone or while contacting the skin area.
- the temperature readings may be affected by the distance between the skin area and temperature sensor it may be desirable to maintain a contact distance between the skin area and the temperature sensor. Thus, contacting the skin area during the scan can provide better results.
- FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate a scanning of a skin area 72 of a forehead 70 of a person 73 while contacting the skin area by the upper sidewall 11 of the mobile phone 10 .
- Arrows 81 and 82 of FIG. 3A illustrate the scanning process. It is noted that other skin areas can be scanned.
- a mobile phone such as mobile phone 20 may provide more accurate temperature readings than those obtained by mobile phone 10 —as mobile phone 20 includes the temperature sensor 15 at the upper sidewall 11 that contacts the skin of the person. These differences can be tolerated or at least partially compensated by measuring the spatial relationship between the temperature sensor and the skin as a function of the orientation of the mobile phone and/or distance between the mobile phone and skin.
- FIG. 2 illustrates a temperature sensor 15 and its surroundings according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the mobile phone includes multiple integrated circuits that may be used for short range communication, long range communication, processing tasks and the like. It has been found that the heat dissipated from various electrical components (including integrated circuits) of the mobile phone can affect the temperature readings of the temperature sensor 15 .
- the temperature sensor 15 is proximate to a shield 31 that assists in effectively dissipating the heat from such components (integrated circuits 33 and 34 of FIG. 2 ) in order to reduce thermal noise introduced by these components.
- FIG. 2 illustrates the shield 31 as including ventilation openings 35 and be connected to an integrated circuit 38 that is also connected to the temperature sensor 15 .
- the shield may be required especially when due to size and/or weight constraints the temperature sensor cannot be surrounded by a relatively heavy and large heat sink.
- FIG. 4 illustrates temperature readings (curve 141 of graph 140 ) according to an embodiment of the invention.
- the curve 141 represents multiple temperature readings obtained during a scanning of a skin area.
- Curve 141 includes a noisy peak temperature 142 that may be ignored off when determining the core temperature of the person.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an eighty seven percentile reading 143 that can be used for determining the core temperature.
- the calculation of the core temperature can include selecting multiple temperature readings while ignoring the peak temperature reading and applying a statistical function on the selected temperature readings. By ignoring the peak temperature reading which is expected to exhibit a relatively high noise component, the measurement can be more accurate. Furthermore, the scanning process may provide fluctuating temperature readings, especially when the scanning does not maintain a fixed distance between the temperature sensor and the scanned skin and this fluctuation can be at least partially compensated by removing extreme temperature readings such as the peak temperature reading.
