DESC:FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a system for the identification of the possibly infected person and the disinfection of items. Most specifically the present invention relates to a self-check system for measurement& recording fever, measurement & recording Blood SpO2 level, sanitizing hand, and disinfecting the items.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The world becomes a global village. People can easily travel from one part of the world to another very conveniently. People also migrate from one country and get settled in other countries. As people migrate from healthy one part of the world to another, it also increases the risk of transferring of diseases and viruses. People carry diseases and viruses unknowingly. There is no such effective system to identify these people in public places, offices, malls, the theatre where diseases and viruses can spread very easily. To neutralize the same, there is a need to identify such persons and isolate them from others to break the chain of spreading of diseases and viruses. Diseases and viruses can also cause a huge problem for the countries by making many people sick and putting a burden on public health that ultimately leads to economic loss to any country. To overcome such a situation, the new identification machine has been developed to scan the body's temperature and other parameters like blood oxygen level.
WO2007057522A1 discloses an access control device comprising uprights 2 delimiting a passage space 4 through which a line of individuals 3 can pass one by one, characterized in that it comprises a sensor array able contactlessly to measure the temperature of a plurality of measurement points 8 distributed throughout the passage space 4, a computer 9 able to receive temperature information about each of the measurement points 8 and, on the basis of parameters contained in a memory, to calculate information regarding the body temperature of the individual 3, and a means for displaying the said information.
