Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/095384
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an electronic thermometer which achieves display that is easier to see for users without loss of convenience when the body temperature is measured. Specifically provided is an electronic thermometer characterized by being provided with a light emitter (252) in which a plurality of LEDs (252A) are arranged, a shake detection unit (230) which detects that an electronic thermometer (100) has been shaken, and a display controller (244) for controlling the light emission of each of the LEDs (252A), wherein the display controller (244) is provided with a means for creating a light-emission dot pattern, and a means for calculating the light-emission duration per dot column of the LED (252A) on the basis of the shaking duration in a predetermined direction of the electronic thermometer (100), which is calculated on the basis of the result of the detection by the shake detection unit (230), and the number of dot columns necessary to represent the light-emission dot pattern, and controls the light emission of each of the LEDs (252A) on the basis of the created light-emission dot pattern and the calculated light-emission duration per dot column.
