Claim 14:
15. A thermal detection system for an electronic device, the thermal detection system comprising:
a thermal detector, comprising a thermal sensor array, the thermal detector being configured to detect thermal radiation within a detection area around the thermal detector, the detection area being defined by a field of view of the thermal sensor array;
an area indicating unit, arranged to indicate a human-perceptible area according to the detection area, wherein the human-perceptible area comprises a visible area; the visible area is located within the detection area and indicates a geometric form of the detection area;
a control unit, coupled to the thermal detector and the area indicating unit, the control unit being configured to generate a thermal detection result according to the detected thermal radiation;
a protection circuit, coupled to the control unit, wherein when the thermal detection result indicates that a temperature at a location within the detection area is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the protection circuit is configured to cut off power supplied to the electronic device placed at the location;
an electrical receptacle, coupled to the electronic device; and
a power connector, selectively coupled to the electrical receptacle, the power connector being configured to supply the power, wherein when the thermal detection result indicates that the temperature at the location is less than the threshold value, the protection circuit is configured to couple the power connector to the electrical receptacle such that the power supplied by the power connector is delivered to the electronic device; when the thermal detection result indicates that the temperature at the location is greater than or equal to the threshold value, the protection circuit is configured to uncouple the power connector from the electrical receptacle.
