==ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF ESTIMATING CORE BODY TEMPERATURE USING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18085128 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD OF ESTIMATING CORE BODY TEMPERATURE USING THE SAME

==Simplified Explanation==

An electronic device is disclosed that includes a first temperature sensor to measure the temperature of body skin, a second temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the main body, a thermal resistance structure to create a temperature difference between the first and second temperatures, and a processor to calculate skin heat flux and estimate the user's core body temperature based on the first temperature and skin heat flux.

* The device has a first temperature sensor to measure the temperature of body skin.
* It also has a second temperature sensor to measure the temperature inside the main body.
* A thermal resistance structure is included, which creates a temperature difference between the first and second temperatures.
* The device has a processor that calculates the skin heat flux based on the first temperature and the second temperature.
* The processor also estimates the user's core body temperature based on the first temperature and the skin heat flux.

Potential applications of this technology:

* Monitoring body temperature in medical settings.
* Assessing heat stress in athletes during physical activity.
* Tracking temperature changes in individuals with fever or illness.
* Monitoring temperature fluctuations in industrial or hazardous environments.

Problems solved by this technology:

* Provides a non-invasive method to measure core body temperature.
* Allows for continuous monitoring of body temperature without the need for invasive procedures.
* Provides a more accurate estimation of core body temperature compared to traditional methods.

Benefits of this technology:

* Enables early detection of fever or abnormal body temperature.
* Facilitates real-time monitoring of body temperature for medical interventions.
* Improves the accuracy and reliability of temperature measurements.
* Enhances the convenience and comfort of temperature monitoring for users.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

An electronic device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes: a first temperature sensor configured to measure a first temperature of body skin; a second temperature sensor configured to measure a second temperature inside a main body; a thermal resistance structure having effective thermal resistance so that a difference between the first temperature and the second temperature is greater than or equal to a predetermined threshold value; and a processor configured to obtain skin heat flux based on the first temperature and the second temperature, and to estimate core body temperature of a user based on the first temperature and the skin heat flux.
