Abstract:
1. A hand held apparatus comprising: a recording switch for recording a temperature of a target object; a judging unit that measures the temperature of the target object using a sensor at intervals of a first period and judges whether a difference in temperatures measured at the intervals is within a range of a pre-set value; a first acquisition unit that records and/or outputs, when a switch-on of the recording switch is detected and the difference in temperatures is within the range of the pre-set value, temperature information including a first temperature that is measured using the sensor and has become valid by the switch-on of the recording switch: a second acquisition unit that records and/or outputs, when the switch-on of the recording switch is detected and the difference in temperatures is outside the range of the pre-set value, temperature information including a second temperature that is measured using the sensor and has become valid when the difference in temperatures falls within the range of the pre-set value after the switch-on of the recording switch is detected; and a display, wherein the first acquisition unit displays, when the switch-on of the recording switch is detected, the first temperature on the display as a recorded temperature, and the second acquisition unit displays, when the switch-on of the recording switch is detected, a message showing the apparatus is awaiting temperature convergence and displays, when the second temperature is acquired, the second temperature on the display unit as a recorded temperature.
