Title:
IN-SUBJECT INTRODUCING DEVICE AND WIRELESS IN-SUBJECT INFORMATION CAPTURING SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2005/023102
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
When introduced into a subject, a cover portion (43) such as a candy agent reacts with an in-subject substance and begins to melt, and gets gradually thinner to expose an opening (41) to the outside. This opening (41) is exposed only inside the subject; and when a humidity sensor (42) and an in-subject judging unit (32a) detect the set temperature of saliva or the like, a drive control unit (34) actuates an RF switch (32a) to set an RF transmission unit (23) in an operation condition. Therefore, a picked-up image can be transmitted from a portion having a humidity detected by the humidity sensor (42).
