Abstract
Abstract An electronic thermometer includes sensing member for sensing a temperature to be taken thereby, storage member for storing the sensed temperature from the sensing member, judging member for judging whether the change of the sensed temperature is a predetermined change, predicting member for predicting a steady temperature based on the sensed temperature when the judging member produces the judge of the predetermined change, and displaying member for displaying the sensed temperature or the steady temperature predicted by the predicting member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
An electronic thermometer, comprising: sensing means for sensing a temperature to be taken by the thermometer; storage means for storing said sensed temperature from said sensing means; judging means for judging whether said sensed temperature is changing within a predetermined range of change; predicting means for predicting a steady temperature based on said sensed temperature, wherein the operation of the predicting means is conditioned on said judging means judging that said sensed temperature is changing within the predetermined range of change; and displaying means for displaying said sensed temperature or said steady temperature predicted by said predicting means.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
An electronic thermometer, comprising: sensing means for sensing a temperature to be taken by the thermometer; storage means for storing said sensed temperature from said sensing means; judging means for judging whether said sensed temperature is changing within a predetermined range of change; predicting means for predicting a steady temperature based on said sensed temperature, wherein the operation of the predicting means is conditioned on said judging means judging that said sensed temperature is changing within the predetermined range of change; and displaying means for displaying said sensed temperature or said steady temperature predicted by said predicting means.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
An electronic thermometer according to claim 1, wherein said sensed temperature is displayed on said display means as long as said predicted steady temperature is not produced by said predicting means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
An electronic thermometer according to claim 1, wherein said predetermined change represents that said sensed temperature is obtained by taking a body temperature.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
An electronic thermometer according to claim 1, wherein the judging means judges whether the change of said sensed temperature is outside said predetermined range of change.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
An electronic thermometer according to claim 1, wherein the judging means judges whether the change of said sensed temperature is outside said predetermined range of change which indicates that the sensed temperature is obtained from other than body temperature.
