Method and device for weight management of humans
First Claim
1. A portable, personal electronic device for body weight management of a user thereof, comprising:
- a control unit adapted to control the device; and
a user interface coupled to the control unit adapted to enter input information and obtain output information, the control unit being configured to receive an initial weight, a target weight, and a food intake amount of the user via the user interface, the control unit being configured to generate the energy expenditure of the user, to generate the food intake amount and exercise instructions based on a difference between the user'"'"'s initial weight and the user'"'"'s target weight for display via the user interface, to receive the user'"'"'s current weight via the user interface, and to generate a change in the user'"'"'s weight, the control unit being configured to calibrate itself if the change in the user'"'"'s weight does not correspond to an estimate made on the basis of the user'"'"'s food intake amount and the user'"'"'s energy expenditure by eliminating impact of at least one of errors caused by the user comprising incorrect input data entered by the user, levels of input data derived therefrom, and errors appearing in default settings made by the device, thereby modifying at least one of the food intake amount and the exercise instructions to be displayed via the user interface.

Abstract
The invention relates to a method and device for weight management of humans. First, the user'"'"'s initial weight and his target weight are received via a user interface of the device, then food intake amount and exercise instructions to be presented via the user interface of the device are generated on the basis of the difference between the user'"'"'s initial weight and his target weight. In addition, the user'"'"'s energy expenditure is generated with the device and the user'"'"'s food intake amount is received via the user interface of the device. Further, the user'"'"'s current weight is received via the user interface and a change in the user'"'"'s weight is generated with the device. Further still, the food intake amount and/or exercise instructions to be presented via the user interface of the device are modified with the device on the basis of the change in the user'"'"'s weight.

18. A method of managing human body weight by using a portable, personal electronic device, the method comprising:
-
receiving an initial weight and a target weight of a user via a user interface of the device; generating food intake amount and exercise instructions based on a difference between the user'"'"'s initial weight and the user'"'"'s target weight for display via the user interface; generating with the device the user'"'"'s energy expenditure; receiving the user'"'"'s food intake amount via the user interface; receiving the user'"'"'s current weight via the user interface of the device; generating with the device a change in the user'"'"'s weight; and calibrating the device if the change in the user'"'"'s weight does not correspond to an estimate made on the basis of the user'"'"'s food intake amount and the user'"'"'s energy expenditure by eliminating impact of at least one of errors caused by the user comprising incorrect input data entered by the user, levels of input data derived therefrom, and errors appearing in default settings made by the device, thereby modifying at least one of the food intake amount and the exercise instructions to be displayed via the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
