Method for calibrating at least one electronic temperature sensor

A method for calibrating and using at least one electronic temperature sensor (2) in connection (6) with a mobile device (4), the mobile device (4) and at least said electronic temperature sensor (2) forming part of an assembly (1), the mobile device (4) comprising data processing means and memory means linked to the data processing means, said memory means storing an application coupled to a data entry interface, the temperature sensor (2) being initially placed in a plurality of predetermined environments by a user, and, for each of these environments, a predetermined initial temperature value corresponding to an actual temperature of this environment being entered beforehand by the user via the electronic temperature sensor (2) before calibration and directly into the dedicated application of the mobile device (4), via said interface, wherein the temperature sensor (2) provides, for each of the predetermined environments, an initial raw temperature value measured in said environment,

• the method comprising the steps of:
• computing (10) a calibration curve, based on each predetermined initial temperature value entered into the application, and each corresponding initial raw temperature value provided by the temperature sensor (2),
• storing (12) in the mobile device (4) or in the temperature sensor (2), calibration parameters determined from the calibration curve, and
• correcting (14), by means of said calibration parameters, each initial raw temperature value measured by the sensor (2).
