According to one embodiment, an electronic thermometer includes a temperature sensing unit, a conversion unit, an FSK modulation unit, and a transmission unit. The temperature sensing unit detects the temperature of a subject. The conversion unit converts a result detected by the temperature sensing unit to a digital signal. The FSK modulation unit converts the digital signal from the conversion unit to an FSK modulation signal. The transmission unit outputs a transmission signal including a pilot signal having a frequency assigned to the FSK (frequency shift keying) modulation signal and the FSK modulation signal subsequent to the pilot signal.

Electronic thermometer, electronic thermometer system, and receiver

A mobile phone () in accordance with the present invention includes: a transmission setting database (); a transmission setting section () for registering, on the transmission setting database (), a piece of image data to be transmitted to a data receiving device; and an image data transmitting section () for transmitting, to the data receiving device, the piece of image data registered on the transmission setting database (), the image data transmitting section () transmitting the piece of image data to the data receiving device in response to a transmission request received from the data receiving device. Therefore, according to a data transmission device in accordance with the present invention, it is possible to transmit a desired piece of additional-information-containing data to the data receiving device without forcing a user to again carry out operation of transmitting the piece of additional-information-containing data to the data receiving device, even in a case where the user cannot transmit the desired piece of additional-information-containing data to the data receiving device.

A biometric authentication apparatus for identifying a subject person by using biometric information of a user has memories and a processing unit for performing biometric authentication. The memories and store a remaining trial number whose value is reduced each time biometric authentication fails. The processing unit generates a lower limit value smaller than the remaining trial number at the start of biometric authentication, performs biometric authentication until the reduced remaining trial number becomes equal to or smaller than the lower limit value, and generate alarm data for issuing alarm to the user when the reduced trial number becomes equal to or smaller than the lower limit value.
