Claim 12:
13. The method of claim 12, comprising, in response to the detection of motion being imparted to the scanning device when the scanning device is in the low power state, and in response to a determination that the distance between the scanning device and the surface is less than a first threshold distance, performing operations comprising:
operate an orientation sensor of the scanning device to determine the orientation of an axis of the scanning device, wherein the axis comprises a forward-rearward axis extending along a lengthwise dimension of the scanning device and to the surface, and another axis extending through the scanning device and across the forward-rearward axis at a right angle; and
in response to a determination that the orientation of the axis is within a preselected threshold degree of horizontal, performing operations comprising:
providing an operator of the scanning device with an indication of commencement of the capture of the temperature of the surface;
operating the infrared detector to capture the temperature of the surface;
providing the operator with an indication of completion of the capture of the temperature of the surface;
retrieving a current time or date that is indicative of when the temperature of the surface was captured;
retrieving a current location of the scanning device that is indicative of where the temperature of the surface was captured; and
operating a transceiver of the scanning device to transmit indications of the captured temperature, the current time or date, and the current location of the scanning device to another device.
