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 2):
A method of weighing a person as in  claim 1 , wherein said person sitting in a seat of an on-board vehicle overweight and obesity preventing system applying a force in a horizontal direction of a predetermined value with respect to a substantially vertical surface of a vehicle that is a predetermined distance away from a weighing unit operatively coupled to the seat of the vehicle and the application of the horizontal force does not change a weight measurement of the object recorded by the weighing unit when the object is applying the force to the vertical surface wherein a vehicle is a school bus and said method comprising the steps of:\n receiving said bus student's personal information by on-board computing and control unit or smartphone of a driver said school bus or health care person in said bus that stores said personal information; choosing by said on-board computing and control unit or smartphone a location of a bus seat or scale to weigh a student; measuring weight of said bus student by a scale located on the floor of said bus or by a weighing unit connected to the car seat of the student in the bus and eliminating the need to separately weigh the feet of the occupant, while weighing him/her, by compressing in horizontal direction a switch of a weighing moderator located on a substantially vertical surface in front of the hands of the student sitting in the car seat and simultaneously conveniently lifting feet above the floor and keeping them during the weight measurement; measuring height of said bus student by a heightmeter located on the ceiling of said bus above the scale located on the floor of said bus; receiving the bus student's weight and height with said computing and control unit or smartphone; processing collected weight of the vehicle occupant by said computing and control unit or smartphone while receiving the signals from the switch of said weighing moderator; sending the result of the weight and height measurements of said bus student to the school obesity preventing system by smartphone; determining the probability of overweight or obesity in a predetermined short period of time of a student by weight trend analyzer executed by said smartphone or computing and control unit; upon forecasting overweight or obesity sending a warning about said overweight or obesity to the student's parent, to the school nurse, and to the student's primary health care provider; erasing the previous weight measurements of said school bus student from the driver's smartphone.
