Cell phone/breath analyzer
First Claim
1. A portable communications device for sending and receiving verbal communications having a housing sized to fit a human hand, characterized by:
- a breath analyzer within the housing for sensing volatile components of oral malodor and providing a breath analyzer output based upon the sensed volatile components; and
a user interface carried by the housing for providing an output based upon results of a breath test performed by the breath analyzer.

Abstract
The cellular telephone/breath analyzer combination increases the functionality of the cellular telephone by informing the user of his/her breath quality. The visual display of the cellular telephone displays the breath analysis function. Using the keypad of the cellular telephone, the user can instruct the cellular telephone/breath analyzer to perform a breath analysis. When the user exhales into the breath analyzer, a microcontroller and digital processor disposed within the cellular telephone convert the electrochemical sensor reading into a breath quality indicator on the visual display of the cellular telephone.
