Description

[0001] SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING REAL-TIME MONTHLY AMOUNT OF POWDERED MILK [0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to daily checking of infant milk powder quantities, and more particularly to a real time milk powder monitoring system and method.

Conventional infants feed the powdered milk with powdered milk, and the recommended amount is determined according to the infant's age, sex, and present weight. In some cases, the amount of milk powder may need to be increased as the development period passes. If too much growth is necessary, it may be necessary to slightly reduce the amount of milk powder needed to meet the recommended amount.

These recommended doses vary according to infants and babies, and because the daily growth rate varies and the recommended amount varies, the recommended amount also varies greatly.

However, in most cases, it is difficult to keep accurate records of how much infant formula consumes milk powder, and it is difficult to keep accurate data on the amount of milk powder.

Therefore, it is necessary to measure the exact amount of intake and to check the changes of the developmental state of the infant and the recommended amount according to the real time.

In particular, when a child is assigned to a group or other nanny, the child's mother can not properly monitor the amount of milk powder to be consumed. Many problems can arise.

On the other hand, not only the amount of milk powder but also the color of the child in infant and childhood are also important data for health status. However, it is not easy for a doctor to check the condition of a child by accurately recognizing the color of a child. If it can be verified through a doctor or confirmed through a database, it can be more useful for the development and health care of a child.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a real time milk powder monitoring system.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a real-time milk powder monitoring method.

The above object of the present invention can be achieved by a system for monitoring real-time milk powder delivery, comprising: a local communication scale for measuring the weight of powdered milk powder containing milk powder and transmitting the measured weight in real time using a local communication system; And a user smart terminal for receiving and storing the weight from the local communication balance, subtracting the stored weight from the stored weight, and accumulating the accumulated weight on a daily basis.

The user smart terminal receives and stores the age, gender, and weight of the infant, calculates and displays a recommended amount based on the stored age, sex, and weight, and calculates a difference between the displayed recommended amount and the accumulated cumulative weight , And judges whether the calculated difference is within a predetermined tolerance range, and provides an alarm when the judgment result is out of a predetermined tolerance range.

Meanwhile, the user smart terminal may be configured to display the recommended amount and the cumulative sum weighted by day in a daily graph, a monthly graph, or a year graph.

The user smart terminal photographs the side of the infant using the built-in camera module, compares the color of the side taken with the color database of the stored side, determines the health state of infants and young children through the color of the contrast result, .

According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for monitoring a real time milk powder amount, comprising: measuring the weight of a milk powder bottle containing a milk powder; Transmitting the measured weight to the user smart terminal in real time using a local communication method; Receiving and storing the weight from the local communication balance; And subtracting the stored weight from the pre-stored weight of the user smart terminal and cumulatively accumulating the accumulated weight on a daily basis.

Calculating and displaying a recommended amount according to the age, sex, and weight of the infant and the baby, which are input and stored in advance by the user smart terminal; Calculating a difference between the displayed recommended amount and the daily cumulative weight of the user smart terminal; Determining whether the calculated difference is within a predetermined tolerance range; And providing the user smart terminal with an alarm if the determined result exceeds the predetermined tolerance range.

And displaying the recommended amount of the user smart terminal and the cumulative sum of the daily cumulative sum as a daily graph, a monthly graph or a year graph.

According to the above-described real-time milk powder monitoring system and method, it is possible to accurately measure the milk powder intake amount of infants and young children by measuring the weight change amount of the distance communication scale. In addition, the measured milk powder intake amount is recorded and stored in the user smart terminal in real time, so that it is possible to accurately grasp the dietary intake state of infants and toddlers.

In addition, by calculating the appropriate recommended amount according to the age, sex, and weight of the child, and by feeding the child with the milk powder, the health of the child can be optimally maintained.

On the other hand, the side of the infant can be photographed using the user smart terminal, the color can be inquired from the database, and the health status of the child can be checked at any time. The child's health status check through the state of mutilation is inevitable because the nature of the child's parents roughly determines the nature of the child.
