Description

Multi-Sensing and Multifunctional Implementation by Data Transmission and Reception Chopstick {MULTI-FUNCTION CHOPSTICK BY MULTI-SENSING AND DATA TRANSMISSION AND RECEPTION}

The present invention relates to a functional chopstick having various functions, and more particularly, to a multifunctional implement chopstick through multi-sensing such as temperature, blood sugar, saltiness, and data communication to transmit and receive data to and from the outside.

Generally, various types of chopsticks are widely used for cooking and eating various kinds of foods.

Especially, when cooking foods using various kinds of fried food, broth, or boiling water, the temperature of oil or water plays a very important role in the cooking process, and thus the taste of the cooked food is influenced.

However, since the conventional chopsticks are used only for picking up food, the temperature of the oil or water during the cooking of the food may be judged only by the experience or feeling of the cooker, or a separate temperature measuring instrument must be provided for more accurate temperature measurement .

Further, since the degree of hotness of the food is determined arbitrarily at the time of eating the food, a risk of burning due to hot food is also a problem.

In addition, although it is the most effective means of measuring the state of the food or the physical condition of the food and the characteristics of the chopsticks contacting the mouth of the person, it lacks a technical supplementary device to analyze the salinity and components of the food, It can not be used properly.

At this time, the surface of the lower end portion 120 may form a through hole or a slit groove so that moisture for measuring the salinity of the food may be transmitted to the salinity measuring sensor 210.

Next, the temperature sensor 220 is connected to the lower surface 120 or the upper surface 130 of the chopstick body 100 to adjust the body temperature of the user, which is in contact with the lower end 120 or the upper end 130, The chopstick body 100 can measure the temperature of the user's mouth and body as well as the temperature of the user's mouth while the chopstick body 100 is mounted on the lower end 120, The temperature sensor 220 may be mounted on the lower end of the chopstick body 100 to measure the temperature of the food that is in contact with the lower end of the chopstick body 100, Small display 131 so that the user can visually confirm the food and his body temperature in real time.

Next, in the case of the blood glucose level sensor 230, a blood-collecting pin 231 for collecting the user's blood on the surface of the upper end 130 of the chopstick main body 100 is provided. The blood glucose level sensor 231 is brought into contact with the pin 231 to provide blood so that the blood glucose level sensor 230 connected to the blood glucose level pin 231 senses the blood glucose level through the blood to generate blood glucose level data.

The control unit 300 is connected to the salinity measuring sensor 210, the temperature sensing sensor 220 and the blood glucose sensing sensor 230. The control unit 300 calculates sensing data transmitted from each sensor and processes the sensed data as transmittable data, And transmits data to the outside via the transceiver 310. [

At this time, the transceiver 310 performs data transmission to the surrounding area using a near field data communication method such as Bluetooth, and transmits data to the user through the user portable mobile communication terminal 600 receiving the data transmitted from the transceiver 310 .

The user portable mobile communication terminal 600 is provided with an application (AP) for presenting salinity, temperature, user's body temperature and blood sugar data of the food to be transmitted from the water dispenser 310 to the user, The user can check his / her body information and food information, and compare and store data such as monthly, weekly, and daily data in the application (AP) to check changes in blood sugar amount and body temperature with time, .

4, when the chopsticks are not used, the chopsticks are folded and housed in a pocket so that the carrying and storing operations are performed. And a pulse detecting sensor 250 installed inside the body 110 or the upper end 130 of the chopstick body 100 for detecting a pulse transmitted from a user's body, It is preferable to check the pulse rate by sensing the pulsation sensed by the user's finger or the body when stored in the folded state as described above.

The pedometer further includes a pedometer sensor 240 installed inside the body 110 of the chopstick body 100 for sensing a shake due to a user's step and detecting the number of times the user steps, By measuring the number of steps during walking, the user calculates the calories consumed during the day and converts it into data.

Accordingly, the mobile communication terminal 600 acts as a wearable device for grasping the user's amount of exercise, and is transmitted to the user portable mobile communication terminal 600 equipped with the application (AP) through the transceiver 310, The calorie consumption can be confirmed through the terminal 600.

A shock tip 510 connected to the battery 400 and connected to an end of the lower end 120 of the chopstick body 100 to discharge current of the battery 400; And a voltage adjustment dial 520 connected to the shock tip 510 and the battery 400 to adjust the voltage of the electric current transmitted to the shock tip 510. In this way, I will.

3, a chopstick according to the present invention is grounded in the vicinity of the heart of a patient requiring emergency care so that the shock tip 510 is brought into contact, and the electric power of the battery is discharged to the shock tip 510 , Where one shock tip 510 emits power and the other shock tip 510 acts as an output source that recovers power from the other shock tip 510.

In addition, it is preferable to adjust the current through the voltage adjusting dial 520, which adjusts the voltage of the current emitted to the shock tip 510, according to the state of the patient's improvement.

Of course, it is preferable that the body 110 and the upper end 130 of the chopstick main body 100 are coated with a material that does not allow electric current to flow in whole or in part in order to prevent electric shock from being discharged due to electric current for defibrillation The shock tip 510 and the voltage control dial 520 may be connected to an external power source rather than being connected to the battery 400 so as to be driven by external power .
