The present invention generally relates to an instantaneous environment detection device and application thereof, which is a design and an application of a portable environment detection device that is easily combinable with a portable electronic device to provide instantaneous environment detection, direct connection with associated database for efficient data integration and recording and consumption returning service.
Modern people are controlled by surrounding environmental factors, such as weather, for both travel and work and it is only possible to achieve detection of temperature and UV index at a location by means of the supply of data from a weather agency or associated traditional weather-related hazard facility. The weather agency relies on detection made with the special detection instrument or facility installed at various sites, together with associated data computation, to determine various data for weather report, such as wearing heavy clothing or the grade of sun burn lotion applied for swimming or aridity temperature/humidity conversion to serve as a reference for selection of for example application of lotion for wet preserving for reference for taking a trip. However, such data are generally provided for a large area and it is hard to precisely determine the actual environmental condition of the spot where a person is located and when uses are made, particularly, weather being under a condition of rapid change in recent years so that the temperature and humidity and sun burn index of the surrounding environment change rapidly and may get greatly different for positional differences including different locations and different radiation angles. For the same latitude, the environmental condition may be different due to the difference of altitude and surrounding terrain. Modern people have a great amount of outdoor activities that are often held at extreme areas of high mountains and seashores. The data provided by weather agency that is obtained for fixed sites may not be practical. It can be easily imaged that by taking the differences of personal body quality and actual time and locations into consideration, it is extremely hard for a general user to acquire accurate and reliable localized environmental data. Particularly, for activities taken in mountains or seashores, accurately acquiring UV value of sunlight and instantaneous temperature and humidity detection and selecting proper grade of sun burn lotion are often such that it is not possible to perform instantaneous accurate detection of the surroundings and correct selection so as to result in unnecessary sun burn. Similarly, for detection of environmental temperature, the same concern exists, where the associated environmental conditions cannot be instantaneously acquired and correct protection information cannot be obtained timely so that it is not possible to take correct and correspondingly effective protection measures and discomfort of body or clothing wearing may result. It is desired to improve such deficiency of living functionality. Actually, for the modern networked mobile era when mobile electronic devices are prevailing, where popularity of mobile phone is such that almost everybody has one or more mobile phones that might be integrated with global positioning functions, it is desired to use such a positioning function in combination with special detection device for operation, together with connection with proper network database, in order to effectively suit the need of the general consumers who desire delicate data of weather that the currently weather report cannot meet. To suit the need for comfortable and secured living for modern people, it is desired to make further development and improvement.
The present inventor is a professional manufacturer of electronic and makeup products and is fully aware of the various deficiencies and drawbacks of living functions resulting from deficiency of the traditional weather detection that cannot suit the need for instantaneous weather detection, so that based on years' experience of development of related products, in light of detection device and mobile phone or portable electronic mobile device in combination of network connection and synchronous processing techniques, an instantaneous environment detection device and an application thereof according to the present invention are proposed, where a detection device body including a temperature/humidity detector and a UV light photo-detector is directly inserted into a socket of a mobile phone for connection, whereby with the positioning assistance provided by the smart mobile electronic device, instantaneous detection of the surrounding temperature, humidity, and UV value of ultraviolet light can be made to provide a user with a returning answer for correct selection and suggestion in respect of living functionality so as to improve the various inconveniences and drawbacks associated with security resulting from the environmental factors.
The primary object of the present invention is such that a device body to which a temperature/humidity detector and a UV photo-detector are mounted uses modulation processing built in a microprocessor, together with connection through a phone jack plug of a mobile device, through network connection with product suppliers' database through APP platform, according to setting and selection of special returning answer paths, a consumers may easily and correctly acquire instantaneous local environmental data detection, together with answers from the database, to achieve assistance for security of living functionality, also allowing for collection and statistics of data of actual purchasing in order to ensure living and consuming functionality and business service to truly meet the purposes and effectiveness of use for comfortableness and safety.
