Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of intelligent catering management and health data analysis, and relates to an intelligent canteen health management system and method based on multi-source data analysis. BACKGROUND
[0002] Traditional canteens are accelerating the transformation towards intelligence and health. However, the existing intelligent canteen system generally faces three major bottlenecks: multi-source data fragmentation, health intervention lag, and service loop missing.
[0003] Specifically, the following technical solutions exist in the field of intelligent canteens at present:
[0004] 1. RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) system: Through the implantation of RFID chips (working frequency 13.56 MHz) in the tray, automatic settlement is realized. The typical disclosed "intelligent tableware recognition system" uses a radio frequency reader to complete dish recognition at a speed of 0.3 seconds per piece, and generates an account together with the background order system
[0005] 2. Multi-modal payment technology: The "face-two-dimensional code dual-mode payment terminal" proposed by some patents integrates a living body detection algorithm (false recognition rate ≤0.001%) and a dynamic two-dimensional code generation module, which supports identity verification and payment operation within 300ms
[0006] 3. AI nutrition analysis engine: The "diet assessment method based on image recognition" disclosed by some patents uses an improved ResNet-50 model (accuracy 98.7%) for dish recognition, and calculates the calorie value (error ±5%) in combination with weight sensor data
[0007] These technologies perform well in automatic settlement, payment efficiency, and basic nutrition analysis, but have the following key defects:
[0008] 1. Data dimension missing: Existing systems only collect single-dimensional data such as dish weight and type, and cannot obtain deep behavioral characteristics such as user eating speed (e.g. number of times of picking up dishes per unit time) and food temperature (affecting nutrient absorption)
[0009] 2. Model update lag: The nutrition recommendation model relies on offline training (update cycle ≥24h), and cannot respond in real time to physiological index changes (e.g. no dynamic adjustment mechanism when blood glucose fluctuation during meal exceeds 2mmol / L)
[0010] 3. Multi-source data fragmentation: Although some patents propose to integrate payment and health data, they do not establish a cross-device data synchronization mechanism (e.g. timestamp deviation of weighing sensor and body temperature monitoring device >500ms), resulting in inaccurate analysis results
[0011] At the same time, there is currently no technical solution that can meet the following requirements:
[0012] 1. A closed-loop system architecture that integrates multimodal data (images, weight, temperature, user vital signs) in real time;
[0013] 2. A dynamic health intervention model based on time series analysis (response delay < 1s);
[0014] 3. Cross-hardware protocol data synchronization mechanism (time deviation < 50ms);
[0015] Therefore, a smart canteen health management system and management method based on multi-source data analysis are designed. Summary of the Invention
[0016] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a smart canteen health management system and method based on multi-source data analysis.

[0036] 1) Establish a unified data format and model;
[0037] 2) Develop a data cleaning pipeline to remove outliers (such as sudden weight changes > 500g / second) and compensate for environmental interference (initiate infrared temperature measurement calibration when humidity > 85%).
[0038] 3) Privacy protection processing: Biometric data is transmitted with SM4 encryption, and user profile data undergoes differential privacy processing (ε = 0.45);
[0039] 2. Nutrition Knowledge Map
[0040] 1) Construct a 9-dimensional nutrition database containing 1200 kinds of ingredients;
[0041] 2) Food exchange portion parameter table: 6 food exchange matrices (grains and tubers 25g / serving, fruits and vegetables 500g / serving, etc.), and a calorie equivalence comparison table for 120 kinds of foods;
[0042] 3. Personalized Solution Engine
[0043] 1) A food exchange algorithm based on dynamic programming;

[0048] 2) Real-time calculation of nutrient intake:
[0049]
[0050] Where w is the current weight of the dish, and e is the baseline nutritional value;
[0051] 2. Tiered response mechanism
[0052] 1) Establish a three-level early warning system:
[0053] Warning level Trigger condition Response mode Level 1 Single sodium intake > 30% of daily recommended value LED screen flashing warning Level 2 Consecutive 3 meals of protein exceeding the standard Mobile terminal push alternative recipes Level 3 Diabetes risk index > 0.85 Smart tableware restricts meal quantity

Through a heterogeneous device protocol conversion module (supporting 6 types of protocols such as Modbus / TCP and MQTT) and a spatiotemporal alignment algorithm (positioning error ≤5cm), it integrates 9-dimensional data streams in real time (including food temperature, user food picking behavior, etc.).
[0070] 2. Dynamic Decision Engine: Develop a health prediction system based on an LSTM-Bayesian hybrid model, updating the user's health profile every 30 minutes. When the connected continuous glucose monitor (CGM) data fluctuates above 3.9 mmol / L (referring to the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes in China"), it triggers the recommendation of alternative recipes.
[0071] 3. Closed-loop service architecture: Construct a three-tiered "device-edge-cloud" response system to achieve:
[0072] 1) Complete anomaly detection and LED screen warning push within 800ms
[0073] 2) Generate a personalized health report (including analysis of 8 metabolic indicators) within hours.
[0074] 3) Implement RFID electronic tag locking for high-risk dishes.

In pilot projects in senior living communities, the matching rate between user dietary plans and health indicators reached 92%, an improvement of 56 percentage points compared to the original system.
[0082] 2. Improve user health compliance
[0083] The tiered early warning mechanism and closed-loop feedback system reduced the dietary deviation rate to 18% (compared to 42% for traditional systems). Practical application data shows that the rate of nutritional intake compliance among patients with chronic diseases increased by 79%, and the average decision-making time for a single meal was reduced to 45 seconds.
[0084] 3. Expand the smart catering service ecosystem
[0085] It supports seamless integration with medical institution HIS systems and wearable devices, improving health data flow efficiency by 40%. The system is compatible with 5 types of catering scenarios (elderly care communities / hospitals / corporate canteens, etc.) and is particularly suitable for targeted management of 8 types of chronic disease groups, including diabetes. It has been successfully integrated into the central kitchen systems of 32 elderly care institutions.
[0086] 4. Create business value-added space
