It is an object to estimate an ovulation date using less menstrual cycles of body temperatures while preventing decrease in estimation accuracy. An information processing device obtains the equation of a function that approximates the relationship between body temperature data and dates. The information processing device determines a low-temperature-phase reference body temperature, based on a plurality of days of body temperature data identified based on the date corresponding to a local minimum value in the function, and determines a high-temperature-phase reference body temperature, based on a plurality of days of body temperature data identified based on the date corresponding to a local maximum value in the function. Then, the information processing device estimates an ovulation date in the current menstrual cycle, based on a determination reference body temperature set at a value between the low-temperature-phase reference body temperature and the high-temperature-phase reference body temperature and on measurement data.

Methods for determining change in physical condition or illness of a mammal by obtaining a thermal image of the subject and determining the body temperature of the mammal based on the thermal image are described. An example method is implemented on a first electronic device having a first display and a thermal imaging hardware. The method includes obtaining the thermal image of a mammal using the first electronic device; comparing said thermal image to a reference thermal image of the subject at healthy state with no symptoms or characteristics of the physical condition or illness such as by way of example, flu, fever, hypothermia, ovulation, heat stress, cardiac condition; comparing the intensity of said thermal image to the reference thermal image; and in response to such comparison, determining whether the subject shows symptoms or hallmarks of a certain illness or condition marked by a change in body temperature and associated intensity of the thermal image; and displaying information regarding said determination on the first display of the first electronic device. The method includes first obtaining a reference thermal image of a mammal in a normal and/or healthy condition, then later obtaining additional image(s) for comparison to the reference image; and in response to such comparison, determining whether the subject shows symptoms of a certain illness or condition marked by a change in body temperature and associated intensity of the thermal image.
