Claim 3:
4. The scanning device of claim 1, comprising an orientation sensor configured to detect an 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
the processor is configured to, 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 the first threshold distance:
operate the orientation sensor to determine the orientation of the axis of the scanning device; and
in response to a determination that the orientation of the axis is within a preselected threshold degree of horizontal:
provide an operator of the scanning device with an indication of commencement of the capture of the temperature of the surface;
operate the infrared detector to capture the temperature of the surface;
provide the operator with an indication of completion of the capture of the temperature of the surface;
retrieve a current time or date that is indicative of when the temperature of the surface was captured;
retrieve a current location of the scanning device that is indicative of where the temperature of the surface was captured; and
operate 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.
