Claim:
1. A multi-functional chopsticks, comprising: a chopsticks body and an intelligent control apparatus; said chopsticks body is a hollow body, and said intelligent control apparatus is built into said chopstick body; wherein said intelligent control apparatus includes a sensor module, a pressure induction module, a timing module, a voice module, a communication module, and a power module; said sensor module is located at one end of said chopstick body, and connected to the timing module; said pressure induction module is located in the middle part of said chopsticks body, and connected to the timing module; said voice module, communication module and power module are located at the other end of said chopstick body; said voice module is connected to said sensor module, timing module and pressure induction module; said voice module is connected to said communication module and power module; said sensor module is used to detect food information, send meal began signal to said timing module and voice module after receiving said food information, and send said food information to said communication module; said timing module starts a timer after receiving said meal began signal and stops the timer after receiving the meal ended signal, then calculates and saves the length of mealtime, while sending said mealtime information to said communication module; said pressure induction module is used to detect user's hand pressure and force area information of said chopsticks body, and control the power module; said voice module sends out voice reminder information, wherein said voice reminder information is pre-stored in said voice module, and at the same time said voice module makes statistics on how many times it receives the reminder information, then saves the statistics result, and sends it to said communication module; said communication module receives said food information, meal time information and statistics result of reminder signals, then sends said food information, meal time information and statistics result of reminder signals to a terminal; said sensor module comprises a temperature sensor, salinity sensors, and a sugar content sensor; said temperature sensor is preset with a low-temperature threshold and a high-temperature threshold; said salinity sensor is preset with a salinity threshold; said sugar content sensor is preset with a sugar content threshold; said temperature sensor sends low-temperature or high-temperature alert signal to said voice module when it detects the temperature of food is lower than said low-temperature threshold or higher than said high-temperature threshold; said salinity sensors and sugar content sensor send a salinity or sugar content alert signal to said voice module when the sensor detects the salinity and sugar content contained in the food exceed said salinity threshold and sugar content threshold respectively; said pressure induction module comprises a plurality of pressure sensors, with a preset pressure threshold, a force area threshold, response time of closed circuit, response time of open circuit, and meal stop response time; said meal stop response time is less than the response time of open circuit; said pressure induction module sends a close circuit signal to said power control module when it detects a pressure higher than the pressure threshold with a duration exceeding said response time of closed circuit, sends a meal stop signal to said timing module when it detects a pressure lower than said pressure threshold with a duration exceeding said meal stop response time, sends an open circuit signal to the power module when said response time of open circuit is exceeded, and sends a grip posture reminder signal to said voice module when said force area of the chopsticks body is lower than said force area threshold.
