Definitions
- the present invention relates to a weight measurement device, particularly for inclusion in a system for enabling the monitoring of alcohol consumption for an individual.
- Alcohol Liver Disease affects millions of people worldwide. Alcohol consumption is directly associated with liver disease mortality and accounts for elevated social and economic costs. An estimated 1 .6 million people in England have some degree of alcohol dependence, and of these some 250,000 are believed to be moderately or severely dependent and require intensive treatment. Alcohol misuse is linked to a range of health disorders including high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, liver disease, some cancers and depression. There were around 1 .2 million alcohol related hospital admissions in England in 2010-1 1 while close to 15,500 people died from alcohol related causes in 2010. The single biggest risk factor is the quantity of alcohol ingested, irrespective of the form (i.e. type of beverage) it takes.
- US 2010/0138166 describes an interactive system that calculates an estimated blood alcohol level of the consumer based on alcohol input and compares with alcohol impairment limits retrieved from an electronic data store. Items including food and alcoholic beverages are electronically tagged, e.g. by RF tags, and items that are consumed are recorded centrally. In an attempt to estimate the resultant blood alcohol volume, the consumer is also asked to input their weight, gender, ethnicity and a speech sample. Based on these inputs, if the comparison to the data store reveals that the consumer might be impaired by alcohol, an alert is automatically signalled.
- Alcohol breathalysers (as used in checkpoint testing by police) work on a simple principle, i.e. because the alcohol concentration in the breath is related to that in the blood, it is possible to establish the blood alcohol concentration by measuring alcohol in the breath.
- the ratio of breath alcohol to blood alcohol is 2,100:1 . This means that 2,100 millilitres (imL) of expelled breath will contain the same amount of alcohol as 1 ml of blood.
- US201 1 /00292255 describes various examples of systems configured to determine an amount of alcohol in an alcoholic beverage and the consumption thereof. However, there are limits to its practical implementation as a system easily adopted by members of the general public.
- unit of alcohol are a measure of the volume of pure alcohol in an alcoholic beverage. They are used in some countries as a guideline for alcohol consumption. In the UK, one unit of alcohol is defined as a drink comprising 10mL of ethanol. However, other countries use different definitions.
- the number of UK units of alcohol in a drink can be determined by multiplying the volume of the drink (in millilitres) by its percentage alcohol by volume (ABV), and dividing by 1000.
- the present invention seeks to provide a weight measurement device and/or a system incorporating a weight measurement device that enables the consumption of alcoholic beverages to be monitored.
- a weight measurement device including a weight measurement means and an automatic tare function.
- the device of the invention enables a system and method for recording the number of units of alcohol consumed by an individual.
- weight readings can be sent to a second device (e.g. a smart phone) by wireless transmission, e.g. Bluetooth or near field communication or can remain stored on the device for later download.
- the weight readings are converted to volume readings which are subsequently converted to unit of alcohol readings as described below.
- other methods of converting the weight readings to alcohol unit readings may also be used.
- a conversion factor (denoted as "CF") can be used to derive a volume reading from a weight reading.
- the CFs described herein have been derived by weighing one litre volumes of various alcoholic beverages (tabulated below). For example, a litre of whisky weighs 0.935 kg. By comparison, as is well known, one litre of water weighs 1 .0 kg.
- Table 1 details only a limited number of alcoholic drinks and that different CFs may exist for different brands of the same type of drink.
- the present invention preferably provides automated recordings of the weight of alcoholic drinks poured into a glass (or similar drinking vessel) and their subsequent conversion to units of alcohol or another useful measure that can be interpreted by a user of the system.
- the recording of the weight of an alcoholic beverage also allows the calculation of other useful information such as the total weight of ethanol consumed. Such information can also be used as a means to inform the user of their alcohol consumption.
- One embodiment of the device comprises a weight scale attached to the base of a glass.
- the device On attachment, the device is switched on and placed on a flat surface such that the tare button is automatically depressed and the weight of the glass is discounted. Alternatively, the user can manually depress the tare button.
- the device on filling the glass with an alcoholic beverage, the device records the weight of the alcoholic beverage only. A signal corresponding to the weight of the alcoholic beverage is then automatically registered by the device and, directly or optionally, sent to a secondary processor, e.g. a smart phone. Subsequent part-fills or refills of the glass can also be recorded. To allow accurate recordings of subsequent fills the glass must be placed on a surface to enable automatic reset due to depression of the tare button.
- a second embodiment of the device comprises a weight scale where the tare button is positioned on top of the device such that its activation occurs upon placement of a glass on top of the device.
- the glass is then filled with an alcoholic beverage and a weight measure is recorded as described before. Subsequent part-fills or refills of the glass are completed with the glass sitting on the device.
- a third embodiment of the device comprises a weight scale attached to the side of the glass for example within a clip-on handle.
- the tare button is either automatically depressed upon electronic sensing of a weight change of the glass or is manually depressed by the user.
- a system for enabling an intake of alcoholic beverage to be monitored including:
- the weight measurement device is capable of measuring a weight of alcoholic beverage within a vessel and communicating the weight value to the processor means;
- the processor means being capable of retrieving data from the memory storage means for a given alcoholic beverage for calculating and displaying a prescribed unit of alcohol for the given alcoholic beverage.
- the data stored by the memory storage device relates to beverage type and/or ABV value, which is selected by the user to be used in conjunction with the measured weight to calculate the prescribed unit of alcohol.
- the prescribed unit of alcohol may be a guidance amount or a quantitative value.
- the system preferably utilises software to correct for erroneous readings which may occur when the user applies pressure to the glass e.g. otherwise simply pressing on the glass will cause a weight recording.
- a first method for correcting user error involves considering the volume of the glass used. For example, a wine glass will typically hold a volume of 500ml_ corresponding to a maximum weight of 500g. As such, according to a correction method of the invention, any weight over a predefined level is ignored. Typical volumes of glasses used are detailed in table 2 below.
- the system or device may also provide a user override facility such that should a drink not be recorded e.g. when the drink is provided prior to device set-up, then the user can record the drink on the device. Similarly, if the user does not finish their drink then the override facility will allow subtraction of the volume from the final weight reading. This may comprise depressing a 2nd button such that a drink is recorded or subtracted when the user is subsequently prompted to provide details. Examples of standard measures of alcohol served in UK public houses are detailed in Table 5 and reference to these would be used by the user or the Smartphone App when adding or subtracting additional recordings.
- Weight readings recorded by the device can be processed by a standalone device itself or downloaded using a USB cable connected to a processor device such as a computer or smart phone. Alternatively the readings are sent via bluetooth or similar wireless transmission. Other modes of transferring the data that are known in the art can also be used.
- Figure 1 illustrates an overview of a weight measurement device according to a first embodiment of the invention
- Figure 2 illustrates the weight measurement device from Figure 1 , viewed from below;
- Figure 3 illustrates the weight measurement device in combination with a wine glass
- Figure 4 illustrates an overview of a weight measurement device according to a second embodiment of the invention
- Figure 5 illustrates the weight measurement device of Figure 4 in combination with a whisky tumbler
- Figure 1 illustrates a first embodiment of weight measurement device 10.
- a weight measurement means (not seen) is incorporated into a base or housing 1 1 that measures the weight of an item placed on a platform surface 12.
- the configuration of weight measurement means within the device can be any suitable conventional method known in the art of electronic scales.
- the device generally only needs to be accurate to within about 1 g such that the overall manufacturing cost of the device can be low.
- an attachment means 13 is included, incorporated into the platform 12, for the purposes of removably attaching a drinking vessel such that the device 10 is generally carried with the vessel (see Figure 3).
- Attachment means 13 may be a screw thread, rubber sleeve, clip-on, suction cup or an otherwise adhesive surface capable of securely attaching to the base of a vessel.
- the screw thread may be reducing to account for the different widths of glass bases. For example, a half- turn would attach securely to a wide glass base, with further turning capturing narrower glass bases.
- housing 1 1 As illustrated is exaggerated in the drawings and it may be, in fact, a very thin mat-like construction so long as it is capable of performing the weight measurement function required by the invention.
- a tare means 15 is provided that is capable of "zero-ing" the weight measurement when a vessel + device is placed on a flat surface, e.g. table top.
- the tare means includes an arm 16 extending from an electronic switch (15) that is activated when the weight of the vessel + device compresses arm 16 against the underside surface 14. Accordingly, when a beverage is poured into the vessel (wine glass W shown in Figure 3) with the device located on a flat surface, the weight of the beverage only is registered. Weight measurements may be stored in a memory on board the device 10 or communicated directly to a secondary processor for storage.
- the weight measurements are subsequently converted to an alcohol unit recorder using, in the case of a smart phone, an App or similar.
- a computer program may instead be used to interrogate the weight measurements on a personal computer.
- the weight reading is typically provided in grams (g).
- g grams
- a weight of wine will be converted using the appropriate CF to a volume reading.
- Other formulas exist, but using the following formula the number of alcohol units is derived:
- Alcohol units (volume of alcohol x ABV) / 1000 where ABV is the alcohol by volume (%)
- ABV is the alcohol by volume (%)
- the recorded weight is taken when, by way of example, the rate of increase in weight has reduced to zero for at least 1 second, preferably 2 seconds.
- the user then drinks a quantity from their glass and places the glass on the table. On placement on the table, the tare means 15 activates and the weight scale is zeroed.
- a second quantity of alcohol is then poured into the glass and this new weight reading is recorded.
- the user then drinks a further quantity from their glass and the weight recording process is repeated. As long as the user finishes all the alcohol in their glass then an accurate reading of number of alcohol units consumed can be derived. If necessary, the override facility described previously can correct for any alcohol that is not consumed by the user or is consumed but not recorded.
- the user chooses to drink alcohol with a mixing drink.
- the user places his glass on the device as shown in Figure 4 and 5 and fills with alcohol e.g. Vodka.
- the user then removes his glass from the device and then fills with the mixer.
- the device will record only the weight of the alcohol.
- the device 10 is in the form of a base 1 1 to remain separate from a drinking vessel, e.g. whisky tumbler T.
- a drinking vessel e.g. whisky tumbler T.
- the tare means 15 and extending arm 16 is located on the upper surface to contact with and be activated by the base of vessel T when it is placed thereon.
- the user chooses to drink a carbonated alcohol drink such as beer, ale, lager or cider. Generally, these are poured into a glass when the glass is held at an angle.
- the weight scale may be located within a handle that can be attached to the glass, for example by a mechanism shown in Figure 6 wherein weight is measured on a tilt.
- the App requests details of the ABV of the drink to be consumed and, optionally, the type of drink e.g. wine. If the type of drink is provided then the user error facility described above can be effective. For example, if the drink chosen is wine, then error readings utilising information from table 2 and table 4 may be used. If the weight readings are to be downloaded at a later stage, then the user will be prompted to enter the type of drink during the recording event or subsequently when downloading.
- the type of drink e.g. wine.
- the user error facility described above can be effective. For example, if the drink chosen is wine, then error readings utilising information from table 2 and table 4 may be used. If the weight readings are to be downloaded at a later stage, then the user will be prompted to enter the type of drink during the recording event or subsequently when downloading.
- the App can provide an alarm signal e.g. by means of the smart phone vibrating or ringing when the user reaches a predefined number of alcohol units consumed over a predefined time period. This may be useful to inform the user of their sobriety and consequently their likely inability to perform certain tasks e.g. operate machinery.
- the App can also provide an alarm signal when the weight measurement device goes out of wireless range, e.g. if the pairing between device and smartphone is broken. This situation may occur, for example, when the device is left behind or taken by a third party.
- the same or similar App may also allow pairing between other wireless devices and similarly provide an alarm signal when the wireless signal is broken or otherwise out of range. Such an application is useful in the event that one device (e.g. the weight scale of the invention or a tablet computer etc) is left behind, e.g. in a bar or on public transport etc, by a user carrying another device which is less likely to be left behind, e.g. a smart phone.
- the App can utilise collected data to populate a calendar or create a spreadsheet/ graph etc of the number of alcohol units consumed over a day/ week/ month/ year. The user can then use this information as a means to encourage their reduction in consumption of alcohol or provide reassurance that their alcohol intake remains within healthy guidelines.
- the embodiment of the automatic tare means may take several forms not necessarily requiring an extending arm 16. It could be a depressible button or any equivalent electronic sensor.
- the overall functionality of the system can be incorporated into a standalone unit with additional display and processing capabilities, however, the likely most practical form of the invention is as a combination of components, e.g. a smartphone loaded with a suitable application or computer software performing an equivalent function. Data collected by the system can be reviewed by a health professional to, hopefully, provide a more accurate representation of a person's drinking habits.
