[0115] As an example, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart of another method for identifying overload of an electronic scale provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0116] First, step S301 is executed to obtain a first vacancy detection value, a second vacancy detection value, and a third vacancy detection value of the electronic scale when the electronic scale is vacant.

[0117] Afterwards, step S302 is executed to determine whether the electronic scale is placed horizontally according to the measured and set multiple calibration values, the first vacancy detection value, the second vacancy detection value and the third vacancy detection value.

[0118] If the electronic scale is not placed horizontally, step S306 is executed to prompt the user to place the electronic scale horizontally. After step S306 is completed, step S301 is executed again.

[0121] If the electronic scale is overloaded, step S307 is executed to prompt the user to measure in the center. After completing S307, step S301 is executed again.

[0122] If the electronic scale is not overloaded, step S305 is executed to display the measurement result.
