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 4):
A method of operating an on-board vehicle overweight and obesity preventing system as in  claim 1 , wherein an occupant of said system is a baby or small child, and said system further having a heightmeter located on the ceiling of the vehicle above the car seat where the baby or small child will be weighed, and said method comprising the steps of:\n receiving said baby or small child vehicle occupant's personal information, wherein on-board computing and control unit share said personal information with a smartphone; choosing from the menu the name of said baby or small child and the position or number of the car seat to which a weighing unit of appropriate capacity is connected and in which said baby or small child will be weighed and above which the heightmeter is secured on the ceiling; measuring by the heightmeter, which is secured on the ceiling, the distance from the heightmeter to a seat where the height of the baby or small child will be measured; conveniently putting a baby or small child on the chosen vehicle seat; measuring weight of said baby or small child by the weighing unit connected to the baby or small child chosen vehicle seat; receiving the baby or small child weight with said computing and control unit and smartphone; making a baby or small child stay on the seat; measuring by a heightmeter a distance from the heightmeter to the baby or small child's head; putting a baby or small child back to his/her booster seat and getting the beep that the belts of the booster seat are buckled promptly; calculating the baby or small child weight, height, and BMI with said computing and control unit and smartphone; sending the results of the weight and height measurements of said baby or small child to the Obesity Preventing System where the baby or small child is registered; determining the probability of overweight or obesity in a predetermined short period of time of said baby or small child by weight trend analyzer executed by said microcontroller or smartphone; upon forecasting overweight or obesity, sending a warning about said overweight or obesity to a parent of said baby or small child locally and to said baby or small child's primary doctor by a wireless communication device or smartphone.
