Description

Cell phone and wireless diet-related mobile service with built-in functional device for diet {Cellular phone in diet function and mobile diet service}

The present invention provides a sensor (1) for detecting the movement of the human body in all directions, and a microprocessor (6) with a program for calculating the calories burned by the mobile phone user during daily life based on the signal detected by the sensor. A mobile phone equipped with a human body calorie calculation function module configured as a set, wherein a user's calorie value 12 is displayed on the cell phone LCD, and the animation character 14 is changed in accordance with a change in calorie amount at a predetermined time unit. Display in conjunction.

Then, the calculated calories burned data is transmitted to the designated diet support site through wireless data communication, and based on this, various diet information and services most suitable for each user are transmitted to the user's mobile phone.

Conventionally, there is an exercise calorie measuring function attached to exercise equipment or exercise aids, but the information is limited to performing the corresponding exercise (treadmill, stepper, pedometer, bicycle, etc.). It is only a measure of calories burned.

In addition, there are kinds of service sites that provide diet information or help through wireless data communication using a mobile phone or through the wired Internet, but all of them are simply calorie information consumed when a user consumes some calorie information of a diet or some exercise. Or inform the diet, common sense, obesity degree, and a moderate exercise is just a one-way simple information service that is effective.

Thus, the present invention is different from the existing technologies and products related to calorie measurement, there is a big difference compared to the existing diet information service.

The invention provides (11) all movements of the human body; That is, when a signal is generated by a sensor that senses the state of daily activities such as sitting, standing, walking, running, dancing, working, resting, and lying down, the microprocessor analyzes the signal.

The microprocessor works with the calendar function of the mobile phone so that the user's gender, age, height, weight, and constitution can be initialized in advance to set body information criteria, and to adjust the calorie change according to the body's adaptation according to the seasonal characteristics. Set an adaptive metabolic calorie standard. And, calorie consumption is calculated based on the signal of the human body motion sensor.

In addition, the calorie consumed is the amount of metabolic calories consumed in order to consume the basic metabolic rate and the amount of energy consumed to maintain the basic life of the human body and the food to be decomposed and consumed as an energy source necessary for the human body, and to perform the exercise or activity It includes both the calories burned and the adaptive metabolic calories produced by the difference in calories burned by humans according to differences in environmental temperature.

The calories burned are displayed in the LCD window of the mobile phone.

At the same time, according to the user's body information, a character similar to the user's body state is displayed on the cellular phone LCD. That is, if the user is obese, it displays an animal or a funny character that symbolizes it, and vice versa.

These characters are displayed as animated characters that move in conjunction with the user's activity intensity. In other words, if the user performs a vigorous activity, the character also shows rapid movement, and if the activity intensity is low or resting step by step, the movement is linked to it.

In addition, when the user performs an activity or exercise, a graphic bar indicating the amount of calories burned is displayed on the LCD so that the user displays the actual calories burned in the graphic bar based on the calories burned per day.

In addition, when the calculated calories burned data is transmitted to the diet service site through wireless data communication, the diet service site system analyzes it, manages it with a personal database, and provides various wireless data communication services of information or map suitable for each user. do.

For example,

Provides calories that do not exceed the calories burned by the user by telling the diet, type and amount of food to be consumed at lunch based on the user's morning calories burned data.

If the user is a dieter, the most appropriate diet or exercise regimen instructing the user, based on the calories burned by the user to provide a meal control map, exercise control map individually,

Services that provide individualized medical, kinematic and professional guidance related to dieting based on physical information about the user's height, weight, age, gender, constitution and seasons,

In addition, there is a cyber exchange space providing service where people with similar physical information can be grouped together to encourage and help each other.

The configuration of the present invention

A microprocessor 6 incorporating a human body motion detection sensor 1 mounted in a cellular phone circuit and a program for calculating calories burned,

The human body motion sensor is a omni-directional sensor that can respond to any direction of movement of the human body and can operate regardless of the state of the mobile phone.

In the drawing, the detailed configuration consists of a metal ball (3), a metal tube (3), and an insulating cap (5) containing a conduction terminal (4). As soon as the ball touches the conduction terminal, the current It flows through a tube → a ball → a live terminal. That is, the intensity and characteristics of the movement of the human body can be known as the short and long period of the current is energized in a certain time unit. Then, the degree of detection range of the human body movement is determined by the mass of the ball, the inner diameter and length of the tube, and the length of the detection unit time. In order to detect all the movements of the front, rear, left and right, and up and down, each of the front, rear, up and down, left and right directions, three in total, one is mounted in the mobile telephone circuit.

The calories burned program is a reset input that sets the user's gender, age, constitution, height, and weight. Then, an adaptive metabolic calorie standard linked with the calendar function of the mobile phone is set. Activity calories are calculated based on the activity intensity detected by the human body motion sensor.

Calorie consumption is calculated by taking the basic metabolic amount, which represents the amount of energy consumed to maintain the basic life of the human body, and the amount of metabolic calories consumed to decompose and consume it as an energy source necessary for the human body, and performing activities such as exercise and activity. It includes both calories burned and adaptive metabolic calories resulting from differences in calories burned by human differences in environmental temperature.

Basic metabolism is calculated from body weight and body mass index, accounting for 60 ~ 70% of total calories burned, activity calories from exercise and activity are precisely calculated according to the different levels of activity intensity. About 40%. And in December, January, February, July, and August due to cold or heat, adaptive calories can be added to 1-10% of total calories burned.

As a result, the difference between males and females differs by about 10% according to gender, and according to age, the difference between active children, old age, and old age varies from about 5% based on late active teens to early 30s. The difference is up to 10%. These calculation criteria have already been studied and validated in existing academic circles.

The calorie consumption data thus calculated is displayed numerically on the LCD through the control and operation unit DSP of the mobile phone, and a character animation linked with the physical information and the activity intensity is displayed. Then, the total activity calorie data is accumulated and stored in the mobile phone memory unit, and when the user accesses a diet service site through wireless data communication, calorie data is transmitted, analyzed and managed. Thus, it is utilized as a basis for providing a service required by the user.

If you look at the wireless diet service (15) based on calories burned,

It is a kind of service that introduces foods and diets with calories lower than consumed calories just before mealtime based on the calories consumed for a certain period of time, and guides the adjustment of meal volume to prevent excessive food intake.

A service that provides and teaches a diet program based on calories burned to users who are on a diet.

One kind of service that provides exercise guidance and food intake guidance for each individual based on physical information and calories burned to users who are dieting through exercise therapy.

One kind of service includes a service that provides various medical and health related information for each individual based on user's physical information and calories burned information.

All wireless communication diet information service is composed of a service system that provides a differentiated service to the individual based on the user's body information and activity calorie information.

A mobile phone to which the function is added; In other words, by using the diet function mobile phone and wireless diet service, users can achieve the purpose of the diet more effectively, and can receive diet guidance and service through the mobile phone they always carry as the diet itself is lonely and requires patience and effort. Can lead to a successful diet.

For reference, about 89% of urban women in Korea are experiencing or are on a diet. While such a large population is associated with diets, in the past, the proper guidance and services were not available to individuals, so there are often cases of unhealthy hunger or unreasonable diets.

The present invention is of great value as a solution that can easily overcome the difficulties of diet and reduce the side effects and damage of the diet.
