Abstract

A diet ingestion analyzing method is provided. The diet ingestion analyzing method includes the following steps. A plurality of nutrition amounts of a plurality of diet records are calculated according to a food nutrition database. A plurality of specific diet records corresponding a specific time are obtained from the diet records. A nutrition ingestion ratio of a total of a plurality of nutrition amounts of the specific diet records to a total of the nutrition amounts of the diet records is generated. A nutrition recommendation is generated according to a nutrition recommended range and the nutrition ingestion ratio. A plurality of selected records is selected from the specific diet records. Whether each of a plurality of nutrition amounts of the selected records is abnormal or not is determined according to the nutrition recommendation. A diet model is constructed and an abnormal food is marked according to the selected records.

4. The diet ingestion analyzing system according to claim 3, wherein

the dining time analyzing unit further sorts the eating time points and classifies the eating time points to a plurality of unit time periods, accumulates a number of the diet records in each of the unit time periods, calculates an average of the numbers of the diet records in the unit time periods, and determines whether the number of the diet records in each of the unit time periods is greater than the average or not;

and

each of the dining time periods comprises some of the unit time periods which are adjacent and in each of which the number of the diet records is greater than the average, and the dining time analyzing unit further selects one of the dining time periods as the specific time.

5. The diet ingestion analyzing system according to claim 3, wherein

the dining time analyzing unit further sorts the eating time points and classifies the eating time points to a plurality of unit time periods, accumulates a number of the diet records in each of the unit time periods, calculates an average of the numbers of the diet records in the unit time periods, and determines whether the number of the diet records in each of the unit time periods is greater than the average or not;

and

each of the dining time periods comprises some of the unit time periods which are adjacent and in each of which the number of the diet records is greater than the average;

in each of the dining time periods, one of the unit time periods has a highest number of the diet records; and

the dining time analyzing unit further decides the specific time according to the unit time periods having the highest number of the diet records.

6. The diet ingestion analyzing system according to claim 1, wherein the nutrition ingestion ratio distributing g unit further calculates a trimmed mean of the nutrition amounts of the specific diet records, calculates a trimmed mean of the nutrition amounts of the diet records, and obtains the nutrition ingestion ratio by dividing the trimmed mean of the nutrition amounts of the specific diet records and the trimmed mean of the nutrition amounts of the diet records.

7. The diet ingestion analyzing system according to claim 1, wherein each of the selected records comprises a plurality of foods, and the diet model constructing unit further sorts the foods of each of the selected records according to the nutrition amounts of the foods, and marks at least one of the foods as the abnormal food according to a number of the selected records whose nutrition amounts are determined to be abnormal and an occurrence times of the each of the foods in the selected records.

8. A diet ingestion analyzing method, comprising:
