Abstract
A thermal sensation analyzing device includes a first detecting unit, a second detecting unit, and an analyzing unit. The first detecting unit detects skin temperature of a person. The second detecting unit detects a predetermined cyclic-fluctuation pattern in the skin temperature. The analyzing unit analyzes thermal sensation of the person based on the cyclic-fluctuation pattern.
Claims19
A thermal sensation analyzing device comprising:
- a first detecting unit that detects skin temperature of a person;
- a second detecting unit that detects a predetermined cyclic-fluctuation pattern in the skin temperature;
- and
- an analyzing unit that analyzes thermal sensation of the person based on the cyclic-fluctuation pattern.
A thermal sensation analyzing method comprising:
- acquiring skin temperature of a person;
- detecting a predetermined cyclic-fluctuation pattern in the skin temperature;
- and
- analyzing thermal sensation of the person based on the cyclic-fluctuation pattern.
A computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer readable program codes for performing thermal sensation analyzing process embodied in the medium that when executed causes a computer to execute:
