Abstract
A device includes a skin temperature sensor, one or more processors, and a wireless communication circuit. The one or more processors determine, with signals received from the skin temperature sensor, whether a skin temperature that is outside a predefined skin temperature range. Where the skin temperature is outside the predefined skin temperature range, the one or more processors one or both of cause the wireless communication circuit to transmit a climate adjustment request to a climate control device and actuate a local cooling device.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- a skin temperature sensor;
- one or more processors operable with the skin temperature sensor;
- and
- a wireless communication circuit operable with the one or more processors;
- the one or more processors determining, with signals received from the skin temperature sensor, a skin temperature that is outside a predefined skin temperature range, and where the skin temperature is outside the predefined skin temperature range, causing the wireless communication circuit to transmit a climate adjustment request to a climate control device.
A method, comprising:
- detecting, with a skin temperature sensor, a skin temperature being above a predefined skin temperature threshold;
- causing, with one or more processors, when the skin temperature is above the predefined skin temperature threshold, a wireless communication circuit to transmit a climate adjustment request to a climate control device;
- and
- actuating, with the one or more processors, a local cooling system to reduce the skin temperature.
