Problems solved by technology

In addition, electromyography cannot capture the movement of the lower jaw, and there are electromyography that can three-dimensionally measure the movement by attaching position sensors and the like as input, but these are large-scale devices (for example, refer to Patent Documents 1 and 2).

Embodiment Construction

[0066] Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail based on the drawings.

[0067] In the chewing of a meal there is the hardness, softness of the food that the person likes, the motion of tearing them, chewing them, the number of times they are chewed, the time of chewing, the rhythm, etc. In addition, the balance of chewing teeth is one of them. The quality of this delicious chewing and eating function is evaluated as the quality of chewing. The system analyzes the quality of chewing through moving image analysis, and measures the number of times of chewing, the rhythm of chewing, and the eating method (whether it is ground?, whether it only moves up and down?, whether Lips are still open?), jaw movement during chewing, occlusal balance (front-back, left-right), muscle movement, etc., the quality of mastication is numerically displayed, etc., and its time-dependent properties are displayed based on the difference between the past and the present. ...

Abstract

Provided is a chewing assistance system capable of obtaining chewing quality at the time of dining and supporting improvement of chewing quality and maintenance and enhancement of health by a simple method without attaching a device such as an electromyography instrument to the body and without causing discomfort or burden to a user. This chewing assistance system is provided with: a moving image acquisition means (21) for acquiring a moving image of a face region including at least the mouth or the periphery of the mouth; an analysis unit (22) that analyzes a chewing action on the basis of the moving image of the region acquired by the moving image acquisition unit; a quality determination means (23) for determining the quality of the chewing action on the basis of the information on the chewing action analyzed by the analysis means; and an extraction means (24) for extracting, from the mastication information storage means (32), the assistance information corresponding to the mastication quality determined by the quality determination means.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for assisting the maintenance and improvement of the health of the oral cavity and throat region for the purpose of prolonging the healthy lifespan, and particularly to a system for assisting and supporting the improvement of chewing quality as a "delicious chewing and eating function". Background technique [0002] Chewing food, swallowing behavior, saliva secretion, etc. have a great impact on the brain and the whole body, and have a great impact on physical and mental health and healthy lifespan. It is said that by maintaining and improving the health of the mouth and throat area, it also extends healthy lifespan as a result. [0003] In particular, sufficient chewing of a meal that requires a bite can promote physical and mental growth, activate the brain, improve motor function, suppress obesity, suppress aging, maintain sociality, etc., and is effective in prolonging healthy lifespan. Insufficient mastic...
