Abstract

System and method for analyzing components of one or more items at a time based on the analysis of image data and item component data and deciphering that data for the user. A user can use a computing device for item data input and the system recognizes or identifies items by image recognition, optical character recognition, voice recognition, typed query, barcode scan or a combination of those to analyze the item and return analysis of each item to the user'"'"'s computing device through visual display, audible communication or a combination of both visual display and audible communication. System and method for analyzing items, recognizing or identifying the images of items, and analyzing the components of items is executed by referencing image databases, image recognition services, application program interfaces (APIs) and through machine learning to provide the user with analysis of items by processing the data that corresponds with those items.

Claims

1. A system for analyzing one or more items comprising;

a computing device, the computing device including an image sensor configured to sense an image of each of the one or more items, the computing device including at least one processor; and

the computing device including analysis instructions that when executed by the at least one processor in response to a user request cause data analysis of the sensed image of each of the one or more items through searching and acquiring an item analysis from one or more databases, API'"'"'s, web services, cloud services, machine learning and algorithms and cause display of the sensed image of each of the one or more items and the data analysis on a visual display of the computing device and an audible communication on an audible communication device.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the computing device is selected from a smart phone, tablet, computer, laptop, smart watch, smart glasses, or virtual reality viewing devices.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the computing device is configured to hover or be near the one or more items in order for the image sensor to recognize the one or more items and return the data analysis of each of the one or more items to the visual display, the audible communication device or the combination of both the visual display and the audible communication device.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the data analysis comprises one or more ratings, the one or more ratings comprising one or more number, color, word, shape or symbol.

5. The system of claim 4 wherein the rating indicates a favorable or unfavorable rating.

6. The system of claim 1 wherein the data analysis comprises a color rating, the color rating being displayed on the visual display as an image superimposed over each of the displayed sensed images of the one or more items.

7. The system of claim 6 wherein the data analysis includes a scale of the one or more-color, the scale of the one or more ratings being displayed on the visual display as a scale that is color-coded or numeric.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the data analysis includes identification of the sensed images of the one or more items and data associated with the identification of the one or more items by one or more of image recognition, optical character recognition, voice recognition, typed query or a bar code scan.

9. The system of claim 6 wherein the data analysis further comprises processing the data associated with the identification of the one or more items with one or more parameters, the parameters being selected from one or more of health conditions, food or mineral type, materials, ingredients, nutrition facts, nutrition information, lifestyle preferences, dietary restrictions, dietary preferences, cultural preferences, religious preferences, customizable user preferences, location of origin, material source, availability, cost, location, inventory status, recall status, color, flavor, size, pattern, ability to be delivered, brand information, discounts, promotions, features, customer reviews, recipes, investigations, lawsuits, serving size, number purchased, frequency of purchase of the one or more items, frequency of search of the one or more items, meal type, item category manufacturing information, comparison tools, and caloric expenditure.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein the audible communication comprises a rating, the rating being communicated by one or more of sound effects, songs, spoken words and spoken sentences.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein having the item or an image of the one or more items within the field of view of the sensor activates the data analysis.

12. The system of claim 1 wherein the sensed image of the one or more items is captured by taking a photo of the one or more items with the computing device and the captured photo is input to the data analysis.

13. The system of claim 1 wherein the image of the one or more items is an image, picture, video or visual display on a television, computer monitor or virtual reality device.

14. The system of claim 1 wherein the data analysis includes an add item feature to add the item analysis to a log.

15. The system of claim 1 wherein the data analysis includes an alternative item feature to access an item analysis of one or more alternative items.

16.
