Claim:
1. A device comprising: a microprocessor; a battery operably coupled to the microprocessor; a camera operably coupled to the microprocessor and providing at least two images to the microprocessor; a digital infrared sensor operably coupled to the microprocessor, the digital infrared sensor having only digital readout ports, the digital infrared sensor having no analog sensor readout ports; and a wireless communication subsystem that is operably coupled to the microprocessor; wherein the microprocessor is operable to receive from the digital readout ports a digital signal that is representative of an infrared signal detected by the digital infrared sensor and the microprocessor is operable to determine a temperature of a human from the digital signal that is representative of the infrared signal and the microprocessor including a cropper that is operable to receive the at least two images and operable to crop the at least two images to exclude a border area of the images, generating at least two cropped images, the microprocessor also including a temporal-variation-amplifier of the at least two cropped images that is operable to generate a temporal variation of the at least two cropped images, the microprocessor also including a vital-sign generator that is operably coupled to the temporal-variation-amplifier that is operable to generate at least one vital sign from the temporal variation, wherein the wireless communication subsystem further comprises a component that is operable to transmit a representation of the temperature of the human, a representation of the vital sign, and representation of date and time, operator identification, patient identification and manufacturer, model number and firmware revision of the device.
