Abstract:
An on-board vehicle occupant weighing technology includes a simplified vehicle occupant weighing apparatus based on the discovered horwest effect and weighing moderator. The simplified weighing apparatus utilizes a weighing unit connected to the car seat of the vehicle occupant and a further weighing moderator, which provides convenient weighing of the foot part of the occupant's body by the same weighing unit that is connected to the car seat. The technology employs several methods of the weight measurements provided by different moderator approaches. The technology, methods, and simplified weighing apparatus are employed in on-board vehicle overweight and obesity preventing system wherein a weight trend analyzer provides predicting possibility of the occupant's overweight or obesity in a short predetermined period of time and automatically warning a vehicle occupant and a health care provider of the condition. The technology may also provide an accurate and convenient occupant's weight measurement in the vehicle safety devices such as seat belt and air bag Supplemental Restraint System (SRS system) to improve the Occupant Classification System to prevent possible extra force applied to the occupant's body in case of collision.

Claim (Index 5):
A method of operating an on-board vehicle overweight and obesity preventing system as in  claim 4 , wherein said method provides weighing a driver in a running conventional vehicle comprising the following steps:\n monitoring the state of a vehicle when it did not yet start to move from a garage, driveway, or a parking lot by: checking a signal from the gear selector that it is in the Park position, checking that the driver is in a car seat by a signal from the weighing unit attached to the driver's car seat, checking that the driver's left foot is on a pedal of a weighing moderator located proximate to the left foot of the driver by a signal from the switch of said weighing moderator, checking that the right foot of the driver is on the brake pedal by a signal from the brake pedal; checking a signal from the gear selector that it has been changed from the Park to the Drive/Reverse position; memorizing driver's weight measurements by the computing and control unit from the output of the weighing unit connected to the driver's car seat while the signals from the gas and brake pedals inform that both gas and brake pedals are released; processing collected weight of the driver by said computing and control unit or smartphone; showing a graph of weight or BMI trend of a driver on the screen of said on-board computing and control unit or smartphone at the discretion of the driver; determining the probability of overweight or obesity in a predetermined short period of time of the driver by weight trend analyzer executed by said on-board computing and control unit or smartphone; upon forecasting overweight or obesity, to send a warning to said driver locally and to the driver's primary doctor by a wireless communication device.
