Abstract

With the prevalence of lifestyle diseases, systems for monitoring meal information through the Internet of Things have become widespread. Studies have shown that the sequence and time of meals are considered to be part of the factors that affect lifestyle diseases such as diabetes and obesity. An improved smart tableware is proposed which can detect the process of meal information more effectively. Since meal information is detected sequentially, the method of using recurrent neural network to detect the meal sequence is introduced, and the feasibility of this method is demonstrated by experiments. After analyzing information obtained from tableware, meal information will be fed back to users and help to improve their eating habits. In the meal experiment, we used improved smart tableware and proved the feasibility of the proposed method.
