METHOD FOR COMPUTER EVALUATION OF CONTAINERS AND FOOD TO OBTAIN OPTIMUM STORAGE AND/OR USE

摘要

An apparatus includes a scanner, a keypad, a wireless communication component, and an electronic readout device, which are communicatively coupled to a processing device. The processing device is configured to communicate data indicative of a barcode or data indicative of a food product to the remote electronic device. The processing device is also configured to receive from the remote electronic device an indication of a particular container and a corresponding portion size associated with the particular container and the food product. Further, the processing device is configured to effect electronic readout via the electronic readout device of a container indicator corresponding to the indication of the particular container and the corresponding portion size. The container indicator distinguishes the particular container from at least one other particular container and the container indicator corresponds to a physical container indicator of a physical particular container.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
a scanner configured to scan a barcode of a food product to generate data indicative of the barcode; a keypad configured to receive manual entry of data indicative of the food product; a wireless communication component configured to communicate with a remote electronic device via the Internet; an electronic readout device; a processing device communicatively coupled to the scanner, the keypad, the wireless communication component, and the electronic readout, the processing device configured to:
receive from the scanner the data indicative of the barcode;receive from the keypad the data indicative of the food product;effect communication with the remote electronic device via the wireless communication component;communicate at least one of the data indicative of the barcode or the data indicative of the food product to the remote electronic device;receive from the remote electronic device via the wireless communication component an indication of at least one particular container and a corresponding portion size associated with the at least one particular container and the food product; andeffect electronic readout via the electronic readout device of a container indicator corresponding to the indication of the at least one particular container and the corresponding portion size, wherein the container indicator distinguishes the at least one particular container from at least one other particular container and wherein the container indicator corresponds to a physical container indicator of a physical particular container.
