Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Methods, systems, and devices are described for identifying and determining quantity data for consumable items from a plurality of weight sensing devices. A consumption metric for the consumable items is determined based on the identification and quantity data. Consumption-related information is provided based on the consumption metric. Consumption-related information may be used for a number of purposes, including for providing aggregate consumption information to suppliers, and health advice and recipes to users, for example.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving, at a central computer system, identification and quantity data for one or more consumable items from a first user system remote from the central computer system, the first user system comprising one or more weight sensing devices for determining the identification and quantity data; determining a consumption metric for the one or more consumable items based on the received identification and quantity data; generating consu…
