DESC:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates to field of doorbells and more particularly to a touchless doorbell with an infrared thermal sensor for detecting health condition of a visitor.
BACKGROUND
[0002] Touchless doorbells detect presence of an individual visitor in front of them, without pressing the doorbell. The prior arts use different sensors in order to detect presence of the visitor. The prior art has not any provision for detecting the health condition of the visitor (when standing in front of the doorbell). Conventional touchless doorbells use infrared proximity sensor or motion sensor to detect presence of the visitor in front of the doorbell. The proximity based sensor or motion sensor only detects the distance of a person but not the health condition of the visitor, and rings the doorbell. FIG. 1 shows a conventional infrared (IR) thermal sensing handheld device 100 that is supposed to be held against the forehead of a person and the device shows the temperature of the person's forehead. However, this device needs a person to be very close to the other person and can be at risk of contracting the disease from the scanned person. Also, the device is battery operated and can run out of battery, can be misplaced/lost, and is also expensive.
[0003] Therefore, it is desired to have a touchless doorbell with a capability to detect health condition (body temperature) of the visitor. This is to make owner (inside the premises) aware of the visitor’s health condition, so that the owner can take required preventive measures to protect him from getting infected from the visitor.

The sensing devices can be but not limited to an infrared sensor, a thermocouple, and a thermopile. The sensing device can measure body temperature/parameter/health parameter of an object standing in front/proximity of it. The object can be but not limited to a human being, an animal, a robot, and a machine. The disclosed touchless doorbell can be installed in a place of the regular doorbell. The place could be outside the home door or at the entrance of societies, offices, medical facilities, schools, etc. The disclosed touchless doorbell can include a motherboard/PCB (printed circuit board) 204 that can include a processing device. The processing device can be but not limited to a microcontroller and a processor. The processing device can include pre-stored temperature ranges/parameter value/health parameter value stored in its memory. The disclosed touchless doorbell can includes a/multiple switching devices 218 that can be but not limited to a relay.

The disclosed touchless doorbell can includes a power supply board 206 that provides power to the sensor board, mother board, and to the switching devices. The power supply board can be but not limited to a rectifier circuit 210.
[0035] According to an embodiment, when a person/visitor/object comes in front/proximity of the sensing device, the sensing device detects his/her presence along with his/her body temperature/health parameter/parameter. The detected body temperature is compared, by a processing device, with the pre-stored temperature ranges. The body temperature of the person/visitor/object can be detected from a distance of 20cm to 1feet. If the detected body temperature is between a first ranges 33°C-37°C, the switching device rings the bell/audio indicator device once and a blue indicator can glow. If the detected body temperature is between a second ranges 38°C-41°C, the switching device ring the bell/audio indicator device multiple times and a red indicator can glow making aware an owner/another person inside about visitor’s health. Thus, owner can take necessary steps to protect him from getting infected from the visitor. When the detected body temperature is below the first ranges 33°C-37°C, the bell remains inactive. The bell can also remain active when the detected body temperature is higher than 41°C.

The memory may include modules, routines, programs, objects, components, data structures, etc., of encryption.
[0044] FIG.3 shows a method of sensing a user according to an embodiment of the invention. In step 302, a person standing in front/proximity of a sensing device is sensed along with its health parameter/parameter. In step 303, the sensed health parameter is compared, by a processing device, with a parameter value/health parameter value already stored in memory of the processing device. In step 304, a indicating/indication device is operated, using a switching device, based on a result of the comparison. The indicating/indication devices can include a combination of video and audio indicators. The visual indicators can be light emitting devices (LEDs) of different colors. If the detected body temperature is between a first ranges 33°C-37°C, the switching device rings the bell/audio indicator device once and a blue indicator can glow. If the detected body temperature is between a second ranges 38°C-41°C, the switching device ring the bell/audio indicator device multiple times and a red indicator can glow making aware an owner/another person inside about visitor’s health. Thus, owner can take necessary steps to protect him from getting infected from the visitor. When the detected body temperature is below the first ranges 33°C-37°C, the bell remains inactive.
[0045] In an exemplary working of the present invention, the touchless doorbell can be installed in the place of the regular doorbell (or replaces the regular doorbell) that is outside the home door or at the entrance of societies, offices, medical facilities, schools, etc. The doorbell can use an IR thermal sensor to detect the body temperature of a person. When a person walks in front of the doorbell, this doorbell need not be touched by the person and he/she is automatically detected using the infrared thermal sensing if he/she is standing when within 2 feet of the doorbell. If the detected body temperature is within the normal body temperature of 33°C-37°C, then the doorbell rings once. If the temperature is between 37°C-41°C it detects that the person is sick and rings the bell 5 times, alarming the persons inside of a sick person outside their home, etc. If the temperature is below 33°C or above 41°C then the bell remains inactive.
[0046] In an exemplary embodiment, the the touchless doorbell can be implemented in the computer system to enable aspects of the present disclosure. Embodiments of the present disclosure include various steps, which have been described above. A variety of these steps may be performed by hardware components or may be tangibly embodied on a computer-readable storage medium in the form of machine-executable instructions, which may be used to cause a general-purpose or special-purpose processor programmed with instructions to perform these steps.
