Patent Images
1. A method for operating a body weight scale, the method comprising:
- i) downloading to a database a plurality of food images of foods eaten by an individual, the database residing on a physical, non-transient scale memory accessible by a computer processor in the weight scale;
ii) assigning a good for me tag to a first image in the database, the first image representing a first food eaten by the individual;
iii) defining a goal weight value for the individual;
iv) storing the goal weight value on the scale memory;
v) measuring a first body weight value for the individual at a first time using a weight sensor on the body weight scale;
vi) storing the first weight value in the scale memory;
vii) measuring a second body weight value for the individual at a second time;
viii) comparing the first weight value to the second weight value; and
ix) if the second weight value is between the first weight value and the goal weight value, displaying the first image.

Abstract
A method of using an interactive body weight scale is presented. The body weight scale may have computing and data communication ability to track a user'"'"'s weight by connecting to a number of different electronic devices. The body weight scale is capable of recording an audio message, converting the audio message to message text, and transmitting the message to a remote social network. The scale may also receive message responses from the remote network and play the messages back based on whether a particular message is a positive message. A scale use indicator provides a reminder for a user to use the body weight scale.
