Abstract
A handheld device with a temperature sensor incorporated into its body is taught. The temperature sensor is used to remotely take a person's temperature. The temperature sensor is powered by the handheld device's battery and is controlled by the touchscreen of the device. The device combines facial recognition through the camera lens with remote temperature sensing to provide a quick way to determine if a certain person presents a danger to himself/herself and others because of a high temperature.

A remote temperature taking device, consisting of:
- a temperature sensor, a housing with a camera lens, a source of power and a control chip, where, the housing removably attaches the temperature sensor to a wall, turnstile or other permanent structure, where the source of power powers the temperature sensor, where the control chip takes a first signal from a touchscreen icon and allows power from the source of power to turn on the temperature sensor, and where a picture taken by the camera lens is transmitted to a facial recognition software, and where the facial recognition software identifies a person in front of the camera lens, and where the temperature sensor takes a temperature reading of the person in front of the camera lens, and where the temperature reading of the person in front of the camera lens is transmitted to a database, and where a danger range of temperature is established, and where, when the temperature reading of the person in front of the camera lense is in the danger range, a security department is notified.
