ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF MEASURING AIR TEMPERATURE USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 17901265 Titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF MEASURING AIR TEMPERATURE USING THE SAME'

Simplified Explanation

This abstract describes an electronic device that has two temperature sensors inside it. One sensor is closer to the surface of the device than the other. The device also has a processor that can estimate the heat generated by a user's body based on the temperature difference between the two sensors. It can also measure the air temperature using this estimated heat flux and the temperature measured by the second sensor.


Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may include: a main body including a first surface and a second surface; a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor which are provided inside the main body, wherein the second temperature sensor is disposed closer to the surface of the main body than the first temperature sensor; and a processor, which while the second surface of the main body is in contact with a body part of a user, is configured to estimate a heat flux that is generated by body heat, of the user based on a difference between a first temperature measured by the first temperature sensor and a second temperature measured by the second temperature sensor, and measure air temperature based on the estimated heat flux and the second temperature.
