Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a bodyfat detection and management system that automatically detects and manages bodyfat, along with detecting water retention, enabling precise, non-invasive monitoring of body composition and timely identification and management of fluid imbalances to prevent potential health issues.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Body fat detection and management are crucial for maintaining overall health and well-being. Excess body fat, particularly visceral fat, is linked to various health issues, including heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure. Monitoring body fat percentage helps individuals understand their risk levels and make informed decisions about their lifestyle, such as diet and exercise. It provides a more accurate measure of fitness than weight alone, as muscle mass and fat distribution significantly impact health outcomes. Regular tracking of body fat help in managing weight, improving metabolic function, and optimizing fitness goals. On the other hand, too little body fat also poses risks, including weakened immune function and hormonal imbalances. Therefore, detecting and managing body fat is essential for achieving a healthy balance, supporting physical performance, and reducing the likelihood of chronic diseases, making it an integral part of a comprehensive health management plan.

[0003] Traditional methods for body fat detection include bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), and underwater weighing. BIA estimates body fat by sending a small electrical current through the body and measuring resistance. Although non-invasive, its accuracy is influenced by hydration levels, food intake, and physical activity. Underwater weighing, considered a gold standard, measures body density by comparing weight on land and in water, but it is expensive, impractical for regular use, and requires specialized equipment. These traditional methods, though useful, have limitations in terms of accessibility, consistency, and precision.

The detection system comprises the body fat scale and a mobile terminal. According to the utility model, the structure is simple, when a user stands on the body fat scale for detection; the independent arc-shaped electrode plates are in contact with the ankle; when a user wears the sock, the body of the user can be detected through the ankle, and detection data can be obtained. The problems that the scale loading detection enthusiasm is reduced at a low temperature and detection data is reduced due to the fact that socks are inconvenient to wear and take off during use are avoided; and the arc-shaped electrode plate is matched with the ankle in shape, so that the ankle is in full contact with the arc-shaped electrode plate during detection, detection errors caused by insufficient contact between the ankle and the electrode plate are avoided, and the accuracy of detection data is guaranteed.

[0006] Conventionally, many systems are available in the market that helps the user in bodyfat detection. However, these existing systems mentioned in the prior arts lack in detecting water retention enabling the timely identification and management of fluid imbalances.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0019] The following description includes the preferred best mode of one embodiment of the present invention. It will be clear from this description of the invention that the invention is not limited to these illustrated embodiments but that the invention also includes a variety of modifications and embodiments thereto. Therefore, the present description should be seen as illustrative and not limiting. While the invention is susceptible to various modifications and alternative constructions, it should be understood, that there is no intention to limit the invention to the specific form disclosed, but, on the contrary, the invention is to cover all modifications, alternative constructions, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the claims.

[0020] In any embodiment described herein, the open-ended terms "comprising," "comprises,” and the like (which are synonymous with "including," "having” and "characterized by") may be replaced by the respective partially closed phrases "consisting essentially of," consists essentially of," and the like or the respective closed phrases "consisting of," "consists of, the like.

[0021] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0022] The present invention relates to a bodyfat detection and management system that automatically detects and manages body fat, providing precise, non-invasive body composition monitoring, while also enabling users to track their fitness progress by calculating calories burned during walking exercises.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, a bodyfat detection and management system is illustrated, comprises of a base 101, a telescopic rod 102 mounted vertical over the base 101 with a telescopic link 103 connected the rod 102 by means of a ball and socket joint 104 the link 103 having a sensing unit 105 coupled with the link 103 by means of a translation arrangement 106, sensing unit 105 comprises a hollow cylindrical housing 105a and an ultrasound unit 105b installed within the housing 105a, the translation arrangement 106 comprises a curved member 106a having a slot 106b attached pivotally with the link 103 and an elongated bar 106c attached with the link 103 by means of a motor.

[0024] Figure 1 further illustrates an articulated telescopic bar 107 installed on the base 101 and having calliper 108, an artificial intelligence based camera 109 installed on the base 101, a conveyor belt 110 is mounted on the base 101, an articulated telescopic arm 111 is installed along a periphery of the base 101 by means of a sliding unit 112 and having a plate 113 at an end, the plate 113 is configured with a plurality of hinges 114 to enable curvature of the plate 113, a plurality of suction cups 115 are mounted along a surface of the plate 113 and a display panel 116 mounted on the base 101.

[0025] The system discloses herein includes a base 101 provided with an embedded weight sensor to detect a weight of a user standing over the base 101. The base 101 of the system is constructed from a durable, rigid material such as reinforced plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel to ensure structural stability and longevity. These materials are chosen for their ability to withstand repeated use and support a wide range of body weights without deforming or compromising sensor accuracy. The surface of the base 101 is also coated with a non-slip layer, such as textured rubber or silicone, to provide secure footing for the user and enhance safety during use. The sensor operates by converting the mechanical force exerted by the user's body weight into an electrical signal. The weight sensor is a type of load cell commonly a strain gauge load cell that deforms slightly under pressure. This deformation causes a change in electrical resistance, which is then translated into a corresponding weight value. The base 101 is engineered to ensure even distribution of the user's weight across the sensor's surface, minimizing errors caused by uneven stance or movement.

[0026] To detect fat percentage in user’s body, a telescopic rod 102 mounted vertical over the base 101, with a telescopic link 103 connected the rod 102 by means of a ball and socket joint 104, the link 103 having a sensing unit 105 coupled with the link 103 by means of a translation arrangement 106. The telescopic rod 102 extend or retract, allowing the sensing unit 105 to be positioned optimally for detecting fat percentage in user’s body. The telescopic rod 102 are powered by a pneumatic unit that includes an air compressor, air cylinder, air valves and piston which works in collaboration to aid in extension and retraction of the rod 102. The pneumatic unit is operated by the microcontroller, such that the microcontroller actuates valve to allow passage of compressed air from the compressor within the cylinder, the compressed air further develops pressure against the piston and results in pushing and extending the piston. The piston is connected with the rod 102 and due to applied pressure, the rod 102 extends and similarly, the microcontroller retracts the rod 102 by closing the valve resulting in retraction of the piston. Thus, the microcontroller regulates the extension/retraction of the rod 102.

[0027] The ball and socket joint 104 comprise two main parts: a spherical ball at the end of one component (usually the rod) and a socket in the adjoining component (the link) that encases the ball. The spherical ball fits snugly within the socket but is free to rotate within it, providing a wide range of motion in all directions, including pitch, yaw, and roll. This flexibility is crucial for the sensing unit 105 function, as it allows the telescopic link 103 to adjust dynamically to the user’s posture and position while maintaining continuous contact with the body. This is particularly important for accurate sensing of body composition, such as fat percentage, by ensuring that the sensing unit 105 connected via a translation arrangement 106 to the link 103 moves smoothly along the user’s body surface without restriction.

[0028] The sensing unit 105 comprises a hollow cylindrical housing 105a, an ultrasound unit 105b installed within the housing 105a to detect fat percentage on internal organs of the user. The housing 105a is made from lightweight, durable materials such as medical-grade plastic or aluminum, ensuring both portability and hygiene. The ultrasound unit 105b is operating on the principle of emitting high-frequency sound waves into the body and measuring the echoes that bounce back from internal tissues. When these sound waves encounter different types of tissue such as muscle, fat, and internal organs they reflect at varying speeds and intensities. The ultrasound unit 105b captures these reflections and analyzes the time it takes for the echoes to return and their strength. Since fat tissue has distinct acoustic properties compared to muscle or organ tissue, the microcontroller interprets this data to estimate the thickness and distribution of fat layers. The housing 105a ensures that the ultrasound probe remains securely positioned and move smoothly along the body via the translation arrangement 106, maintaining consistent contact for accurate and repeatable readings.

[0029] Further, the translation arrangement 106 comprises a curved member 106a having a slot 106b attached pivotally with the link 103 and an elongated bar 106c attached with the link 103 by means of a motor and a protrusion formed at an end of the bar is slidable coupled with the slot 106b to reciprocate the sensing unit 105 along a height of the user. As the motor is activated, it moves the elongated bar 106c in a linear motion, causing the protrusion to travel along the slot 106b. The slot 106b curved shape allows the protrusion to slide smoothly while maintaining proper alignment and ensuring that the sensing unit 105 remains securely positioned at the desired height along the user’s body. This motion allows the sensing unit 105 to reciprocate moving up and down along the user’s height so it accurately scan various body regions, including those around the internal organs, to assess fat distribution. The combination of the motor-driven bar and the pivoting slot 106b arrangement provides precise control over the vertical movement of the sensing unit 105, adapting to the body’s contours and ensuring effective fat measurement.

[0030] Additionally, an articulated telescopic bar 107 installed on the base 101 and having calliper 108 at an end to pinch skin of the user and a bioelectrical impedance sensor embedded in the calliper 108 detects for water retention in user’s body. The calliper 108 pinches the skin at a specific site, providing the necessary contact for the bioelectrical impedance sensor to function effectively. The telescopic bar 107 gives flexibility, allowing the user or system to adjust the calliper 108 placement to different areas of the body, ensuring the measurements are taken in the most appropriate location. The bioelectrical impedance sensor works by sending a small, safe electrical current through the user's body, typically through the skin where the calliper 108 is in contact. Water, which is highly conductive, allows the current to travel more easily through the body, while fat and other tissues with lower water content offer more resistance. By measuring the impedance (resistance to the electrical current), the sensor estimates the amount of water present in the body.

[0031] Further to determine skin issues caused by high fat percentage and distribution of fat in user’s body, an artificial intelligence based camera 109 installed on the base 101 and connected with a control unit to capture images of user’s body. The artificial intelligence-based camera 109 is a camera 109 module, that captures images of the user’s body to determine skin issues caused by high fat percentage and distribution of fat in user’s body. The camera 109 comprises of an image capturing arrangement including a set of lenses that captures multiple images of the body, and the captured images are stored within memory of the camera 109 in form of an optical data.

[0032] The camera 109 also comprises of a processor that is integrated with artificial intelligence protocols, such that the processor processes the optical data and extracts the required data from the captured images. The extracted data is further converted into digital pulses and bits and are further transmitted to the microcontroller.

[0033] A user interface adapted to be installed with a computing unit, to enable the user to connect with a communication unit configured with the control unit to enable the user to input details relating to medical history and lifestyle. The user interacts with the interface through a touch screen, keyboard, or other input methods available on the computing unit. The computing unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to smartphone, laptop, tablet. The communication unit mentioned herein includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The communication unit used in the system is preferably the Wi-Fi module. The Wi-Fi module enables wireless communication by transmitting and receiving data over radio frequencies using IEEE 802.11 protocols. It connects to a network via an access point, converting digital data into radio signals. The unit processes TCP/IP protocols for data exchange, interfaces with microcontrollers through UART/SPI, and ensures encrypted communication using WPA/WPA2 security standards for secure and efficient wireless connectivity.

[0034] To display the detected fat percentage, skin issues and water retention and suggestions for improving health a display panel 116 mounted on the base 101. The display panel 116 consists of a combination of hardware and software components, including a screen (LCD or LED), sensors, and a user-friendly interface. When the sensors, such as the bioelectrical impedance sensor in the calliper 108, gather data (fat percentage, water retention, skin issues), this information is sent to the microcontroller.

[0035] The microcontroller processes the raw data, using pre-programmed algorithms or health standards, to calculate accurate metrics. The processed data is then displayed on the screen, often broken down into easy-to-read segments, such as graphs, numbers, or color-coded alerts, so the user quickly interpret their health status.

[0036] Further, a conveyor belt 110 is mounted on the base 101 to enable the user to exercise by walking on the conveyor belt 110 and an integrated calorie counter calculates the amount of calories burned to display on the display panel 116. The belt 110 consists of a durable, flexible material, like rubber or a composite fabric, that moves smoothly along rollers. The conveyor belt 110 includes a motor, which controls the speed and direction of the belt 110, and sensors that track the user's movements. These sensors detect factors such as the user’s pace (speed of walking) and the duration of their activity. The user adjust the belt 110 speed using controls, allowing them to set a walking pace that suits their exercise routine. The motor is powered by an electric source, and the rollers beneath the belt 110 ensure that it moves smoothly without any jerky motions.

[0037] The calorie counter works by calculating the number of calories burned based on multiple factors, such as the user’s walking speed, the duration of exercise, and their body weight. For example, the rate of energy expenditure during walking is influenced by the speed and intensity of the workout. The calorie counter is usually integrated with a sensor that tracks the belt 110 movement, calculating the number of steps taken and the distance covered. The user’s body weight is entered, either manually or automatically, to personalize the calculation. The calorie expenditure is then calculated by using an equation like the MET (Metabolic Equivalent of Task) value for walking, which is multiplied by the user’s weight and the duration of the activity. Once the calorie count is determined, the display panel 116 shows this information in an easy-to-read format, such as total calories burned in real-time or a summary at the end of the workout.

[0038] An articulated telescopic arm 111 is installed along a periphery of the base 101 by means of a sliding unit 112, the arm 111 having a plate 113 at an end and a peltier unit installed with the plate 113 reduces a temperature of the plate 113, the sliding unit 112 and the arm 111 are actuated to contact the plate 113 with portions of user’s body with high fat deposits for reducing the fat deposit. The sliding unit 112 allows the articulated telescopic arm 111 to move along the periphery of the base 101, providing flexibility and precise positioning of the plate 113 with the Peltier unit. The sliding unit 112 consists of a track arrangement or rail, on which the arm 111 moves smoothly. The sliding unit 112 is actuated using microcontroller to adjust the position of the plate 113 to target specific areas of the body with higher fat deposits. The arm 111 and plate 113 is moved closer or further from the user, ensuring that the Peltier unit is positioned exactly where it is needed for optimal treatment.

[0039] The Peltier unit, which is a thermoelectric cooler, operates by transferring heat from one side of the system to the other when an electric current passes through it. It comprises two semiconductor materials (typically made of bismuth telluride) that are connected in a way that, when current flows through them, one side of the unit becomes cool while the opposite side becomes hot. The cool side of the Peltier unit is attached to the plate 113, which is in contact with the user’s skin. As the electric current flows through the Peltier unit, it reduces the temperature of the plate 113. This cooling effect causes the targeted areas of the body, particularly those with higher fat deposits, to experience localized cooling. The cooling process is believed to aid in reducing fat by stimulating the fat cells, causing them to break down or shrink in response to the temperature change. The Peltier unit ensures that the plate 113 remains at a consistent, low temperature, providing sustained cooling to the skin and fat tissues beneath, without causing harm or discomfort.

[0040] Additionally, the plate 113 is configured with a plurality of hinges 114 to enable curvature of the plate 113 as per contours of user’s body and a plurality of suction cups 115 are mounted along a surface of the plate 113 to grip the skin of the user for an enhanced contact and heat transfer. These hinges 114 function by allowing the plate 113 to bend or flex along the points where they are placed, typically without compromising the plate 113 overall structure or integrity. Each hinge operates like a pivot, allowing a specific section of the plate 113 to bend at an angle relative to the adjacent sections. By strategically positioning multiple hinges 114 across the plate 113, it is able to flex and curve along multiple axes, making it more adaptable to the body’s contours.

[0041] When the plate 113 is applied to the user's body, the hinges 114 allow the plate 113 to mold around the body’s natural curves, ensuring that it maintains consistent, even contact with the skin, especially in areas where the body is more rounded or uneven. The suction cups 115 work by creating a vacuum seal between the plate 113 and the skin, holding the plate 113 securely in place. The suction action helps increase the surface area contact between the plate 113 and the skin, ensuring that the cooling effect is applied evenly across the targeted areas.

[0042] In addition to securing the plate 113 in place, the suction cups 115 help with heat transfer by promoting better contact between the plate 113 and the skin. The improved skin contact facilitates the efficient transfer of cold from the Peltier unit into the user’s fat tissues, making the cooling process more effective in breaking down fat deposits.

[0043] Furthermore, a suggestion module is configured with the control unit receive the inputted details and detected fat percentage, skin issues and water retention to generate suggestion for improvement of health. The module functions by utilizing algorithms and pre-programmed health guidelines or databases, which correlate specific health markers (such as high fat percentage, water retention, or skin issues) with relevant improvement strategies. For example, if the detected fat percentage is high, the suggestion module might recommend dietary adjustments, exercise routines, or hydration tips to help reduce body fat. Similarly, if water retention is high, the module suggests ways to improve fluid balance, like increasing water intake, reducing sodium intake, or recommending specific exercises to promote circulation.

[0044] Lastly, a battery is installed within the system which is connected to the microcontroller that supplies current to all the electrically powered components that needs an amount of electric power to perform their functions and operation in an efficient manner. The battery utilized here, is preferably a dry battery which is made up of Lithium-ion material that gives the system a long-lasting as well as an efficient DC (Direct Current) current which helps every component to function properly in an efficient manner. As the system is battery operated and do not need any electrical voltage for functioning. Hence the presence of battery leads to the portability of the system i.e., user is able to place as well as moves the system from one place to another as per the requirements.

[0045] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the base 101 as disclosed in the invention is embedded with weight sensor that detects the user’s weight by converting mechanical force into an electrical signal through a strain gauge load cell. The base 101 is made of durable, rigid materials like reinforced plastic, aluminum, or stainless steel, with a non-slip surface for secure footing. The telescopic rod 102, powered by the pneumatic unit, adjusts the sensing unit 105 to detect fat percentage using ultrasound technology. The ultrasound unit 105b emits high-frequency sound waves to measure fat distribution based on tissue response. The system also includes the bioelectrical impedance sensor in a calliper 108 mounted on the telescopic bar 107, which pinches the skin and detects water retention through resistance measurements. For skin issues and fat distribution, the artificial intelligence-based camera 109 captures body images, and the processor analyzes these to extract relevant data. The control unit processes input from the user interface and health sensors, generating health improvement suggestions, such as dietary or exercise recommendations. The system further features the conveyor belt 110 with the calorie counter that tracks calories burned during exercise. The articulated telescopic arm 111, equipped with the Peltier unit, applies targeted cooling to areas with high fat deposits. The Peltier unit cools the plate 113, while hinges 114 and suction cups 115 allow the plate 113 to conform to the body, enhancing contact and heat transfer for effective fat reduction.
