Portable apparatus for inquiring, calculating and estimating nutrition and method therefor

Abstract

The invention is a portable nutrition inquiry, calculation and evaluation device, including a microprocessor and the operation panel linked to microprocessor, small LCD screen, the audio output device for voice information output, and the communication device for exchange of information with personal computers and the specific websites of the Internet further. Microprocessor has a variety of modules for nutrition inquiries, the individual body measuring and calculating, weight regulation, nutrition calculation and evaluation. The invention also provides the nutrition inquiry, calculation and evaluation methods of the device. The useful technical effect of the invention is: easy to carry, readily available, no external power and other equipments need, timely internal food composition database expansion and nutrition module function updating, but also integration with electronic dictionaries, mobile phones and other devices. Users can understand their nutritional status of the body, and promptly adjust diet and exercise mode, more effectively protect their health.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of nutrition and the field of electronic application technology, in particular to a portable nutrition query calculation evaluation device and a query calculation evaluation method thereof. Background technique [0002] "Food is the paramount necessity of the people". Human beings obtain various nutrients needed by the body through ingesting food to maintain the normal function of the body. Food composition data is an indispensable reference for scientific research in the medical field, epidemiological investigation, health education, etc., and is also an important basis for food production and processing in agriculture, food industry and other departments. In particular, the dietitian profession and nutritionist education and training, which are widely emerging in my country to improve the physical fitness of the whole people, need the popularization of the application of food composition data. [0003] my country'...

Problems solved by technology

Cannot function without computer

In addition, there is also an electronic device called a "nutrition scale" on the market, which can calculate the nutrient content while weighing the food, but it is also limited to the protein, fat, carbohydrates, etc. of the weighed food. The calculation of the content of several nutrients does not have the functions of using individual parameters for exercise and dietary guidance, calculation of nutrient requirements, calculation and evaluation of nutrient intake, etc.

It is not difficult to find that they all have certain limitations: (1) For nutritional software, users cannot do without their personal computers; they cannot work without the computer; (2) The online version of nutritional software must be run through the Internet; (3) ) Personal computers (including notebook computers) have disadvantages such as large size and inconvenient to carry, and it is difficult to ensure that they are available at any time; (4) Nutritional scales also have the disadvantage of large size, and are only suitable for use in fixed places such as kitchens; ( 5) Existing nutritional scales are still unable to expand internal basic data and upgrade program software
