ANALYZING AND CORRELATING SPECTRA, IDENTIFYING SAMPLES AND THEIR INGREDIENTS, AND DISPLAYING RELATED PERSONALIZED INFORMATION
First Claim
1. A method, including a step of:
- obtaining at least two spectra in response to substantially the same sample under at least two different conditions at approximately the same time;
in which at least one of said two spectra is responsive to magnitudes of electromagnetic radiation on at least four different ranges or weightings of wavelengths or frequencies.

Abstract
Obtaining two spectra from the same sample under two different conditions at about the same time for comparison, where at least one of the spectra measures magnitudes of electromagnetic radiation on at least four different ranges or weightings of wavelengths or frequencies. Classifying a sample using these spectra obtained by a user, and using spectra obtained from different samples by different users to identify the sample. Computing correlations between data related to food and ingredient consumption by one or more users over time, and data related to passive personal log data, user entered feedback, user interaction data or personal information related to those users, and detecting: foods or ingredients to which a user may be allergic or intolerant; a possible medical condition of a user; a possible link between food and ingredient consumption and a medical or health condition; or a similarity between at least two such users.

8. A method including steps of:
-
classifying a first sample into a class using a first set of one or more scans related to that first sample obtained by a first user; referencing a second set of one or more scans obtained by a second user related to a second sample in the said class;
orcomputing information related to said first sample in response to both sets of scans. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A method including steps of:
-
referencing a first set of data related to food and ingredient consumption by one or more users over time; referencing a second set of data, related to passive personal log data, user entered feedback, user interaction data or personal information, related to said one or more users over time; computing a correlation between the first and second sets of data and detecting at least one of (a) a possible food or ingredient to which at least one said user is likely allergic or intolerant. (b) a similarity between at least two such said users; (c) a possible medical condition of at least one said user;
or(d) a possible relationship between food and ingredient consumption and a medical or health condition.
