Patent ID: 8827552

Claim:
A method for displaying a temperature measured by an electronic thermometer by picture, including steps of: (a) providing a thermometer having a micro-controller, a temperature-sensing element and a display screen; (b) deciding a critical temperature, and storing the critical temperature in the micro-controller; (c) converting a signal measured by the temperate-sensing element into a measured temperature by the micro-controller, the measured temperature comprising a measured integer value and a measured decimal value; (c1) comparing the measured temperature and the critical temperature by the micro-controller; (c2) when the measured temperature is smaller than the critical temperature, the micro-controller recognizing the measured integer value as a first value, adding one to the first value as a second value, adding two to the first value as a third value; (c3) when the measured temperature is larger than or equal to the critical temperature, the micro-controller recognizing the measured integer value as a second value, subtracting one from the second value as a first value, adding one to the first value as a third value; (d) converting the measured decimal value into a picture by the micro-controller; (e) displaying the measured integer value and the picture on the display screen; and (e1) displaying the first value, the second value and the third value on the display screen.
