Claim:
1. A device to measure a temperature, the 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 and that is operable to transmit a representation of the temperature; and a display device 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 the temperature 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 at least two images, generating at least two cropped images, the microprocessor also including a temporal-variation-amplifier that is operably coupled to the cropper, the temporal-variation-amplifier being operable to generate a temporal variation from 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 other vital sign from the temporal variation and the microprocessor also is operably coupled to the vital-sign generator that is operable to display the at least one other vital sign on the display, wherein the wireless communication subsystem transmits to a static Internet Protocol address in order to reduce Internet Protocol discovery burden on the device.
