Determining food identities with intra-oral spectrometer devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a processor, at least one property of at least one component in a sample of a food from an intra-oral device comprising a spectrometer, wherein the at least one property is obtained via the spectrometer;
comparing, by the processor, the at least one property to a plurality of food signatures; and
determining, by the processor, an identity of the sample of the food based upon the comparing.

Abstract
Devices, methods, computer-readable media, and systems for determining an identity of a food are disclosed. For example, a method may receive at least one property of at least one component in a sample of a food from an intra-oral device including a spectrometer, the at least one property obtained via the spectrometer, compares the at least one property to a plurality of food signatures, and determines the identity of the food based upon the comparing. In another example, a system may include an intra-oral device and a wireless device. The intra-oral device may include a spectrometer for measuring at least one property of at least one component in a sample of a food. The wireless device may include a processor for receiving the at least one property, comparing the at least one property to a plurality of food signatures, and determining the identity of the food based upon the comparing.

11. An intra-oral device, comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform operations, the operations comprising; detecting an act of eating via a sensor of the intra-oral device; activating a spectrometer of the intra-oral device to measure at least one property of at least one component in a sample of a food, when the act of eating is detected; and transmitting the at least one property of the at least one component in the sample of the food to a wireless device via a wireless transmitter of the intra-oral device. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A system for determining an identity of a food, the system comprising:
-
an intra-oral device comprising; a spectrometer for measuring-at least one property of at least one component in a sample of the food; and a wireless transmitter for transmitting the at least one property of the at least one component in the sample of the food; and a wireless device comprising a processor for; receiving the at least one property of the at least one component in the sample of the food; comparing the at least one property of the at least one component in the sample of the food to a plurality of food signatures; and determining the identity of the food based upon the comparing. - View Dependent Claims (20)
