Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0001] The present invention relates to a mobile terminal for education and a control method of the same,

The present invention relates to a mobile terminal and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to a mobile terminal capable of promoting the consumption of vegetables by children and educating the efficacy of consumption of vegetables and a control method thereof.

In general, children are reluctant to eat because of the lack of taste of vegetables. The fact that children between the ages of 2 and 6 generally do not like to eat vegetable is proven through a lot of medical research.

However, it is very important to form the right eating habits of children before 5 years old. In addition, vegetables contain dietary fiber, iron and other nutrients that are essential for the growth of children. Given these points, it is important that children learn to eat vegetables well and form a diet. To solve this problem, many parents are still fighting to feed their children with vegetables. Cocomong, Pororo, and other popular characters, such as educational content that encourages eating vegetables and eating, for example.

On the other hand, there is little technical approach to solve these problems. Conventional technology has developed separate connected plates and spoons, and there is no system or service to integrate them. We also used a weight sensor to simply feed the amount of data and accumulate it on the server. Therefore, there was a lack of discussion on how to use this data to give users specific feedback. In particular, there is not a separate function that helps children eat vegetables.

In the functional plate for the prevention of the unbalanced child, the negative feedback is prevented through the negative feedback, but this is also a limitation that it is not just feedback. In other infant foods, food intake is detected when food is picked up to judge whether or not to eat it, but lack of motivation through feedback is lacking.

6 illustrates a control method of a mobile terminal according to the present invention.

First, in step S100, the controller 180 can input the type and number of foods.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may input the type and the number of food placed on the plate through a user input unit 123.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the type and number of food placed on the plate 200 can be determined by analyzing the video signal output from the camera 121 that outputs the video signal.

In the next step S110, the controller 180 may determine whether the weight value received through the short-range communication module 114 has decreased compared to the previously received weight value.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may determine whether the weight value is decreased when the received weight value is received for the preset number of times. When the child consumes the food, the user can press the plate 200 several times. Accordingly, when the control unit 180 receives the same value for a predetermined number of times, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the weight value is decreased.

According to another embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 may determine whether the received weight value has decreased within a predetermined error range based on the standard weight with respect to the previously received weight value. For this purpose, the memory 170 may store a standard weight per unit number according to the type of food. For example, a drop tomato has a constant size and shape, so if you enter the standard weight in advance, you can determine whether the food is ingested each time one drop tomato is consumed.

In the next step S120, the control unit 180 determines whether the moving direction and the distance of the cooking utensil are different from each other using the information about the moving direction and the distance of the eating utensil received through the short- To the mouth of the user.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the control unit 180 analyzes the received information regarding the moving direction and the distance of the received eating utensil 300 so that the moving direction and the distance of the eating utensil 300 are different from each other, To the user ' s mouth.

More specifically, the controller 180 may receive information about the moving direction and the distance of the eating tool at predetermined intervals. At this time, the controller 180 can analyze the information on the moving direction and the distance of the received food apparatus by a normal distribution. The controller 180 may determine whether the information about the moving direction and the distance of the currently received eating utensil is within a predetermined range from the average value of the normal distribution. If the user is eating at a meal using the appliance, there will be the most movement between the plate and the mouth. Therefore, if the distance and direction in which the eating tool is moved are analyzed by a normal distribution, the average value can be calculated as the direction and distance in which the eating tool moves between the plate and the mouth. However, since the user can not adjust the eating utensil to the same moving distance and direction every time, if it is within a predetermined range from the average value, it can be judged that the eating utensil has moved from the plate to the mouth.

 In the next step S130, the control unit 180 may output a food-related image to the display unit 151. [ The control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to output an image in which food is reduced as the food related image. In addition, the control unit 180 may control the display unit 151 to output an image in which the food is reduced, and then output an image of the food into the body. Further, the controller 180 may output an image of the food into the body, and then control to output more images related to the beneficial effects of the food on the body.

Figures 7 and 8 are illustrations of food related images.

Referring to FIGS. 7 and 8, it can be seen that the tomatoes and broccoli are shown as images that can cause an interest in the action of the tomatoes and broccoli when they enter the body.

7, the controller 180 can output an image that defeats the bacteria at a high speed every time the tomato is eaten. Further, the controller 180 may provide the master badge with compensation when the mission is completed. 8, the control unit 180 can output an image for training the process of resolving constipation as the stool increases gradually as the desired number of broccoli is eaten. When the control unit 180 completes the mission, the control unit 180 can present the vegetable master badge to feel a sense of accomplishment and have confidence in eating the vegetable.

Meanwhile, the above-described control method of the mobile terminal may be a computer program recorded in a recording medium readable by a computer so as to perform each step in the computer.

The embodiments and the accompanying drawings described in the present specification are merely illustrative of some of the technical ideas included in the present invention. Accordingly, the embodiments disclosed herein are for the purpose of describing rather than limiting the technical spirit of the present invention, and it is apparent that the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments.
