Abstract:
This invention can be embodied in a mobile device for food identification and quantification with both a spectroscopic sensor and a camera. It can be a handheld food scanner, food probe, smart food utensil, utensil attachment, removable component of a smart watch or wrist band, phone component, or phone accessory. It can provide information on types and quantities of food (and nutrients, chemicals, and microorganisms in that food). It can be wirelessly linked with a wearable device to comprise a system for monitoring and modifying a person's food consumption habits.

Claim (Index 3):
A system for food identification and quantification comprising:\n eyewear which is configured to be worn by a person, wherein the eyewear further comprises a camera, wherein the camera records images of food, and wherein the images of the food are analyzed in order to help identify the type of food and/or measure the quantity of food; and a handheld arcuate housing, which is configured to be held by the person's thumb and index finger, wherein the housing has a longitudinal axis, wherein there is a mid-point cross-section of the housing which is a cross-sectional slice of the housing in a plane which is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and which intersects the mid-point of the longitudinal axis, wherein proximal is defined as being closer to the person's wrist and distal is defined as being farther from the person's wrist, wherein a proximal half of the housing is the portion of the housing which is proximal relative to the mid-point cross-section, wherein a distal half of the housing is the portion of the housing which is distal relative to the mid-point cross-section, and wherein the perimeter of the mid-point cross-section is arcuate, wherein the housing further comprises a spectroscopic sensor, wherein the spectroscopic sensor further comprises at least one first energy emitter and at least one first energy receiver, wherein a first energy emitter sends light beams from the distal half of the housing toward the food, wherein a first energy receiver receives some of the light beams after they have been reflected by the food, and wherein changes in the spectrum of the light beams caused by their reflection by the food are analyzed to help identify the type of food.
