KR20200065124A - System for measuring nutritional contents and providing healthcare by spoon scale - Google Patents

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for measuring the weight of food using a spoon equipped with a scale, and measuring the nutritional content of the food and performing health care through a terminal. The system comprises: a weighing plate where food is placed; a scale sensor unit for measuring the weight of the food; a button for turning on and off the power and operating a communication unit; the communication unit for transmitting weight information to a terminal; and a terminal application including food information and exercise information. The terminal application analyzes food information based on the weight information received through the scale sensor unit and the communication unit and performs health care through the provision of information on nutrients that need to be consumed and recommendations for necessary exercise based on the analyzed food information. The system can accurately calculate the nutritional content by accurately measuring the individual weight of food, notify a user of the excess or insufficient calories compared to the calories consumed by the calculation of the terminal application, and provide information on insufficient nutrients and provide the types and duration of exercise for health care.

Description

System for measuring nutritional contents and providing healthcare by spoon scale

The present invention relates to a smart measuring spoon, and relates to a system for measuring a nutritional component information of food contained in the spoon and measuring a proper exercise amount according to a dietary management and food intake in accordance with user characteristics.

Modern people who live busy want to maintain good health and good shape. However, modern people are indiscriminately ingesting food without information. Therefore, it is difficult to accurately control how much food should be consumed properly and how to take appropriate measures for the food.

Therefore, there is a need for a tool that precisely controls food intake suitable for an individual and a tool or method for managing health according to the amount of food consumed.

The present invention provides information about the ingredients and exercise for food to solve the above problems that can not obtain information about nutritional components or exercise, the prior art of adding a scale function to the spoon to measure the weight do.

The present invention measures the weight of food by the sensor unit of a spoon-type weighing dish scale, provides accurate nutritional information about food and provides information on the type of exercise and time required for health management, through linkage with a terminal.

The present invention not only solves the disadvantages of not displaying information such as the component content of nutrients for each food material in the prior art, but also provides a system that informs a person in need of dietary control and the type and time required of exercise.

In the present invention, when food is placed on a spoon-type weighing dish in order to solve problems such as the prior art, the weight measured by the scale sensor is transmitted to the application of the terminal through the communication unit, and when the food is set through the terminal. Measures and stores the type and duration of exercise for nutritional and health care using the weight.

By forming the scale in the form of a scoop or spoon, so that it can be weighed quickly and easily and precisely, and setting the food type through the application of the interlocked terminal, it uses the measured weight to nourish the food and lack nutrients and health. Identify the type and time required for management. In addition, the nutritional components and exercise information of foods weighed by the user are stored to help users manage their diet.

In addition to promoting the convenience of measurement through a spoon-type scale, the fact that the prior art is limited only to measuring food weight is classified by food type to guide the ingredient content and insufficient nutrient information of food nutrients and exercise for health management Information such as the type and time required can be displayed to deliver necessary healthcare information to a person in need of diet control.

FIG. 2 is a schematic block diagram of the configuration and terminal of the scale spoon of FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a diagram for visualizing results of food types and nutritional intakes in a terminal application using values measured in a spoon.
FIG. 4 is a diagram for providing nutrient information required for the nutrition information ingested in FIG. 3 and a type of exercise required for a user and time required.

Spoon for measuring calories and nutritional components using the application and the balance sensor of the present invention comprises a weight sensor 110, a button 120, a communication unit 130, a battery 140, and a display unit 150 as shown in FIG. Body 100 provided; A weighing plate 200 connected to the body 100; It is configured to be connected to the terminal 300 through the communication unit 130 installed on the rear surface of the body 100 is a basic feature of the technical configuration.

It will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, these drawings are for illustrative purposes only, and the present invention is not limited thereto.

1 is a schematic perspective view of an application according to the present invention and a measuring spoon for calories and nutritional components using a scale sensor.

One. The weight sensor 110, the button 120, the communication unit 130, the battery 140, and the display unit 150 are located inside the body 100.

2. If the button 120 is pressed for 3 seconds or longer, the power is turned on/off.

3. The body 100 is connected to the weighing dish 200 by the coupling part 210 and the pressure applied by the weighing dish 200 is sensed by the scale sensor part and the weight is measured.

4. When the measured weight is pressed, the button 120 is transmitted to the terminal 300 through the communication unit 130.

5. When the type of food is set in the terminal 300, the weight and/or nutritional content of the food and/or the type of exercise and time required for health management are displayed on the terminal 300 and the display unit 150, and the terminal 300 Is stored in.
