本發明係與記錄系統領域相關，尤其是一種可自動判斷計算患者各餐進食種類與重量並進行紀錄以消除自行記錄之諸多不便與確實性低下之自動判斷攝入食物之記錄系統。The present invention relates to the field of recording systems, and in particular to a recording system that can automatically determine and calculate the types and weight of food consumed by patients at each meal and record the food consumed to eliminate the inconvenience and low accuracy of self-recording.
於醫療院所中，記錄患者的輸入量亦即其進食量之作業，係為一十分重要的項目，其目的在於確認患者的營養是否足夠、均衡，並有助於制定治療方案以及觀察患者恢復情況等。臨床上，大多會由患者自身或其家屬甚至是外籍看護等進行各餐進食記錄，再由醫護人員端進行總體記錄，以知悉每一位患者之狀況。In medical institutions, recording the patient's input, that is, the amount of food they eat, is a very important task. Its purpose is to confirm whether the patient's nutrition is sufficient and balanced, and it helps to formulate treatment plans and observe the patient's recovery. In clinical practice, most patients themselves, their families, or even foreign caregivers will record their meals, and then the medical staff will make an overall record to know the condition of each patient.
實務上，於每餐進食時，患者、家屬或外籍看護必須將食物拿去秤重，並透過紙本記錄吃的食物以及重量，此舉對於患者、家屬或外籍看護而言，除了自行進食或協助患者進食外，還需在每餐花費額外時間和精力進行量測與記錄，著實十分不便，特別在食物種類眾多之時，目前也僅能針對總體重量進行記錄，而無法確切得知各項食物的對應重量，導致精確性不足，另方面對於外籍看護而言，該種記錄方式亦對其產生極大不便並容易導致錯誤與遺漏。此外，除了因為不便而導致患者、家屬或外籍看護記錄意願低下外，紀錄項目之準確性亦有欠缺之處。另方面，對醫護人員而言，則須在繁忙的各類照護作業中抽空對每一患者之進食紀錄進行統整，以在每段期間記載對應該患者的進食量，此舉除了在忙碌工作環境下可能會加重醫護人員之負擔外，面臨部分患者、家屬或外籍看護亦須耗費心力教導與感應協作，才能獲取較為精確的進食紀錄。In practice, patients, family members or foreign caregivers must weigh the food at each meal and record the food eaten and the weight on paper. This is very inconvenient for patients, family members or foreign caregivers. In addition to eating by themselves or helping patients eat, they also need to spend extra time and energy to measure and record each meal. Especially when there are many types of food, currently only the overall weight can be recorded, and the corresponding weight of each food cannot be accurately known, resulting in insufficient accuracy. On the other hand, for foreign caregivers, this recording method is also extremely inconvenient and prone to errors and omissions. In addition, in addition to the low willingness of patients, family members or foreign caregivers to record due to inconvenience, the accuracy of the recorded items is also lacking. On the other hand, medical staff must take time out from their busy care work to organize the eating records of each patient and record the food intake of the patient in each period. This may increase the burden on medical staff in a busy working environment. In addition, they also need to spend time teaching and cooperating with some patients, family members or foreign caregivers in order to obtain more accurate eating records.
有鑑於此，本發明團隊係構思並提出一種自動判斷攝入食物之記錄系統，希冀可有效協助執行進食量記錄作業，解決現有困境。In view of this, the invention team conceived and proposed a recording system for automatically determining food intake, hoping to effectively assist in the food intake recording operation and solve the current dilemma.

When the carrier 1 is placed on the platform 41 with the first sensing module 11 and the second sensing module 411 corresponding to each other, the first sensing module 11 and the second sensing module 411 sense each other to generate a recognition signal. Through the first sensing module 11 and the second sensing module 411, an electronic alignment can be achieved. For example, the first sensing module 11 and the second sensing module 411 sense each other in a manner such as NFC, and the NFC characteristics can be used to achieve the effect of calibrating the position of the carrier 1 placed on the platform 41. Furthermore, in another implementation, the supporting device 1 can also be a tableware exclusive to each patient. In this case, the second sensing module 411 can be communicatively connected to the patient information receiving module 40, and the first sensing module 11 can be built-in with the patient's personal information. In this way, after the supporting device 1 is placed on the platform 41, the second sensing module 411 can further read the personal information and transmit it to the patient information receiving module 40.
該第一影像擷取器42係設於該平台41上方，供以拍攝該置放區10而獲取一第一計重影像，該四第二影像擷取器43分別設於該平台41之前、後、左及右側，供以拍攝該置放區10而獲取複數第二計重影像資訊。The first image capturer 42 is disposed above the platform 41 to capture the placement area 10 and obtain a first weighing image. The four second image capturers 43 are disposed at the front, rear, left and right sides of the platform 41 respectively to capture the placement area 10 and obtain a plurality of second weighing image information.

After the recognition signal is generated and the patient information receiving module 40 receives the personal information, the processor 44 drives the first image capturer 42 and the second image capturers 45. The processor 44 includes an image processing unit 441, an image recognition unit 442, a calculation unit 443, a comparison operation unit 444, a unified temporary storage unit 445 and an input information generation unit 446. The image processing unit 441 is used to integrate the first weighing image information and the second weighing image information to obtain at least one comparison image corresponding to the placement area 10. After obtaining the first weighing image information and the second weighing images, they are integrated through the image processing unit 441 to form the comparison image. Specifically, when there are more than two placement areas 10, a better example is to first perform image cutting on the areas of the first weighing image information and the second weighing image information corresponding to each of the placement areas 10, and then place the cut first weighing image information and the second weighing image information at corresponding positions respectively and splice them to form three-dimensional image information as the comparison images. Of course, they can also be spliced in a plane. In other words, when there are multiple placement areas 10, multiple comparison images can be produced.
該影像辨識單元442與該影像處理單元441電訊連接，供以辨識該比對影像而取得至少一食物種類並於該比對影像上標註形成複數尺規特徵。形成該比對影像後，該影像辨識單元442係針對該比對影像進行辨識並獲取食物種類以及針對食物在影像中的所占區域進行標註，以利後續的計算處理，而該食物種類之辨識係可使用如人工智能技術或是既有之影像辨識技術等予以實施。該計算單元443則與該影像辨識單元442及該影像處理單元441電訊連接，供以利用該比對影像之該等尺規特徵與該預設體積參數進行計算，而取得至少一實際體積資訊。該等尺規特徵係為該比對影像中食物所佔區域之尺規狀態，將其與該置放區10之該預設體積參數進行計算後，即可排除因拍攝遠近、角度導致的失真問題，進而可依據該容置區的實際尺規取得食物的實際尺規，達到以該預設體積參數作為比例尺以取得精確尺規之功能。The image recognition unit 442 is connected to the image processing unit 441 in communication, and is used to recognize the comparison image and obtain at least one food type and mark the comparison image to form a plurality of ruler features. After the comparison image is formed, the image recognition unit 442 recognizes the comparison image and obtains the food type and marks the area occupied by the food in the image to facilitate subsequent calculation and processing, and the identification of the food type can be implemented using artificial intelligence technology or existing image recognition technology. The calculation unit 443 is connected to the image recognition unit 442 and the image processing unit 441 in communication, and is used to use the ruler features of the comparison image and the preset volume parameters for calculation to obtain at least one actual volume information. The ruler features are the ruler states of the area occupied by the food in the comparison image. After calculating with the preset volume parameter of the placement area 10, the distortion problem caused by shooting distance and angle can be eliminated, and the actual size of the food can be obtained according to the actual size of the accommodation area, achieving the function of using the preset volume parameter as a scale to obtain an accurate size.
該比對運算單元444係與該計算單元443及該影像辨識單元442電訊連接，供以依據該實際體積資訊及該食物種類與該等基準體積重量資料進行比對運算，而取得放置於該置放區10之一重量資訊，其中該重量資訊包含至少一個該食物種類與對應之至少一實際重量。取得該實際體積資訊後，即可依據該等食物資訊比對與計算取得各食物的實際重量，例如該容置區10之白粥經上述辨識計算處理後獲得對應之該實際體積資訊為300cm3，又該食物資料庫3中對應白粥之該食物資訊係包含為白粥之該食物名稱及100cm3重量為150g之基準體積重量資料內容，該比對運算單元444係依據白粥此一食物種類與對應之該食物資訊進行比對運算，即可取得包含為食物種類為白粥，且實際重量為450g的該重量資訊。又或者，該容置區10中同時具有白粥與荷包蛋，白粥之該實際體積資訊為300cm3，荷包蛋之該實際體積資訊為30cm3，而該食物資料庫3中對應荷包蛋之該食物資訊係包含為荷包蛋之該食物名稱及為100cm3重量為99g之基準體積重量資料內容，此時該比對運算單元444係依據荷包蛋此一食物種類與對應之該食物資訊進行比對運算，而取得荷包蛋之該實際重量為29.7g，而該重量結果即包含兩種該食物種類及對應之該實際重量，也就是白粥，實際重量為450g，荷包蛋，實際重量為29.7g之內容。The comparison operation unit 444 is electronically connected to the calculation unit 443 and the image recognition unit 442 for performing comparison operation based on the actual volume information and the food type and the reference volume weight data to obtain weight information placed in the placement area 10, wherein the weight information includes at least one food type and at least one corresponding actual weight. After obtaining the actual volume information, the actual weight of each food can be obtained by comparing and calculating the food information. For example, the white porridge in the storage area 10 is 300 cm3 after the above-mentioned identification and calculation processing. The food information corresponding to the white porridge in the food database 3 includes the food name of white porridge and the standard volume weight data content of 150g of 100cm3. The comparison operation unit 444 performs a comparison operation based on the food type of white porridge and the corresponding food information, and can obtain the weight information including the food type of white porridge and the actual weight of 450g. Alternatively, the accommodating area 10 contains both white porridge and poached eggs, the actual volume information of the white porridge is 300 cm3 , and the actual volume information of the poached eggs is 30 cm3 , and the food information corresponding to the poached eggs in the food database 3 includes the food name of the poached eggs and the reference volume weight data content of 99 g for 100 cm3 . At this time, the comparison operation unit 444 performs a comparison operation based on the food type of the poached eggs and the corresponding food information, and obtains the actual weight of the poached eggs as 29.7 g. The weight result includes the two food types and the corresponding actual weights, that is, the white porridge has an actual weight of 450 g, and the poached eggs have an actual weight of 29.7 g.
待獲取該重量資訊後，係透過該統合暫存單元445針對該重量資訊進行暫時儲存以利續以判斷。具體地說，該統合暫存單元445與該比對運算單元444及該患者資訊接收模組40電訊連接，供以將該重量資訊與一時間標記及該個人資訊整合生成一計重結果並進行暫存。接續，該攝入資訊生成單元446與該統合暫存單元445電訊連接，供以接收該計重結果並進行判斷，其中，當前後二次之該計重結果具有相同之該個人資訊且具有相異之該時間標記時，係依據該時間標記順序將該等計重結果中的該等重量資訊進行處理計算，進而生成一單餐攝入資訊，其中該單餐攝入資訊包含該個人資訊、一進食量資料、一進食始末時間點及一進食時間長度。透過該攝入資訊生成單元446，該記錄系統係可自動判斷同一患者是否已於進食後再次量測，當確認具有該情況時，該攝入資訊生成單元446係擷取為同一患者的該等計重結果，並依據時間順序將其內的重量資訊相減而取得該患者於該餐的進食種類與實際進食量，以及諸多相關之時間資訊。其中，該攝入資訊生成單元446針對多筆之該計重結果資訊係可以例如時間間隔、食物種類、影像畫面等，認定是否該等計重結果是否屬於同一次進食過程而進行處理計算，以取得該單餐攝入資訊。最後即可透過該記錄模組5進行儲存，該記錄模組5係與該計重裝置4及該護理資料庫9電訊連接，供以將該單餐攝入資訊儲存至該護理資料庫9。如此，透過該記錄系統，即可針對患者每餐進食的食物種類與重量，以智能影像辨識與計算取得並自動儲存，以利於醫護人員查閱，免除自我記錄量測之諸多不便，並大幅提升記載確實度，實現電子化記錄醫療資訊之目標。After the weight information is obtained, the weight information is temporarily stored for further judgment through the integrated temporary storage unit 445. Specifically, the integrated temporary storage unit 445 is connected to the comparison operation unit 444 and the patient information receiving module 40 for integrating the weight information with a time stamp and the personal information to generate a weighing result and temporarily store it. Next, the intake information generating unit 446 is connected to the integrated temporary storage unit 445 for receiving the weighing result and making a judgment, wherein, when the two weighing results have the same personal information and different time stamps, the weight information in the weighing results is processed and calculated according to the time stamp sequence to generate a single meal intake information, wherein the single meal intake information includes the personal information, food intake data, a meal start and end time point and a meal duration. Through the intake information generating unit 446, the recording system can automatically determine whether the same patient has been measured again after eating. When it is confirmed that this is the case, the intake information generating unit 446 captures the weighing results of the same patient and subtracts the weight information therein in chronological order to obtain the type of food and actual amount of food consumed by the patient at the meal, as well as a variety of related time information. Among them, the intake information generating unit 446 can determine whether the weighing results belong to the same eating process based on, for example, time intervals, food types, image frames, etc. for multiple pieces of the weighing result information and process and calculate them to obtain the single meal intake information. Finally, the data can be stored through the recording module 5, which is connected to the weighing device 4 and the nursing database 9 by telecommunication, so as to store the single meal information in the nursing database 9. In this way, through the recording system, the type and weight of food consumed by the patient at each meal can be obtained and automatically stored by intelligent image recognition and calculation, so as to facilitate medical staff to review, eliminate the inconvenience of self-recording and measurement, and greatly improve the accuracy of the record, so as to achieve the goal of electronic recording of medical information.
進一步地，該計重裝置4更包含一顯示模組45及一醫護登入模組46，該顯示模組45與該醫護登入模組46及該記錄模組5電訊連接，該醫護登入模組456供以接收一登入指令，該顯示模組45於該醫護登入模組46接收到該登入指令後經由該記錄模組5調取並顯示該單餐攝入資訊，以及於該記錄模組5接收來自該攝入資訊生成單元446生成之該單餐攝入資訊後顯示一完成訊息。當醫護人員欲調閱其管理區域患者的進食相關紀錄時，透過上述之該醫護登入模組46與該顯示模組45即可供醫護人員快速知悉每一患者之進食狀況，對於交接班次或是提供予醫生相關資訊方面，將有極大助益，醫護人員無須前往每一病床處逐一記錄再統整，而可大幅減少該作業所需的處理時間。當然，該計重裝置4亦可進一步設置如表格輸出模組，以供醫護人員輸出統整式的電子表單，加強記錄完整性與便利性。而透過該顯示模組45亦可以訊息方式達到提示患者、家屬或看護當次重量記錄已完成之功效。Furthermore, the weighing device 4 further includes a display module 45 and a medical login module 46. The display module 45 is electronically connected to the medical login module 46 and the recording module 5. The medical login module 456 is used to receive a login instruction. After the medical login module 46 receives the login instruction, the display module 45 retrieves and displays the single meal intake information through the recording module 5, and displays a completion message after the recording module 5 receives the single meal intake information generated by the intake information generating unit 446. When medical staff want to check the eating records of patients in their management area, the medical staff can quickly know the eating status of each patient through the above-mentioned medical login module 46 and the display module 45. It will be of great help in handover or providing relevant information to doctors. Medical staff do not need to go to each bed to record and consolidate one by one, which can greatly reduce the processing time required for the operation. Of course, the weighing device 4 can also be further set up as a table output module for medical staff to output a consolidated electronic form to enhance the integrity and convenience of the record. And through the display module 45, the effect of reminding patients, family members or caregivers that the weight record has been completed can also be achieved in the form of a message.
關於該記錄系統針對食物辨識判斷之設定方面，一較佳實施狀態為該置放區10之該預設體積參數係包含該置放區10之長度、寬度、深度，該比對影像之該等尺規特徵係為食物於上、前、後、左、右及下方於該置放區10區域內之長度及寬度。透過上述參數與尺規特徵項目，該比對運算單元444係可更為精準地計算出各食物的該實際體積資訊，以取得精確的食物重量。Regarding the setting of the recording system for food identification and judgment, a preferred implementation state is that the preset volume parameters of the placement area 10 include the length, width, and depth of the placement area 10, and the ruler features of the comparison image are the length and width of the food in the top, front, back, left, right, and bottom of the placement area 10. Through the above parameters and ruler feature items, the comparison calculation unit 444 can more accurately calculate the actual volume information of each food to obtain the accurate weight of the food.
此外，該記錄模組5亦可針對各該患者於一定期間內的多次進食資訊進行統合，於一實施狀態中，當該記錄模組5於一設定期間內接收二個以上具相同該個人資訊之該單餐攝入資訊時，係依據該等單餐攝入資訊內的該等進食量資料進行處理計算，並生成一總攝取資訊儲存至該護理資料庫9。該設定期間可以天或小時為單位，例如以某天的凌晨12點至隔日的凌晨12點為該設定期間，也可視醫護人員的工作班次進行設定，例如自早上7點至下午3點為該設定期間，而更利於醫護人員調閱屬於其工作時間內的進食狀態。在該設定期間中，若任一該患者進食多次而具有多個該單餐攝入資訊時，該記錄模組5可達到自動統整的功能，免除醫護人員需針對多筆該單餐攝入資訊進行計算之不便。In addition, the recording module 5 can also integrate multiple eating information of each patient within a certain period of time. In one implementation, when the recording module 5 receives two or more single meal intake information with the same personal information within a set period of time, it processes and calculates according to the food intake data in the single meal intake information, and generates a total intake information and stores it in the nursing database 9. The set period of time can be in days or hours, for example, from 12:00 a.m. of a certain day to 12:00 a.m. of the next day as the set period of time, or it can be set according to the work shifts of medical staff, for example, from 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. as the set period of time, which is more conducive to medical staff to check the eating status within their working hours. During the set period, if any of the patients eats multiple times and has multiple single meal intake information, the recording module 5 can achieve the function of automatic integration, eliminating the inconvenience of medical staff having to calculate multiple single meal intake information.

The light-blocking sensor 12 is arranged in the placement area 10 and is communicatively connected to the reminder module 13. When the light-blocking sensor 12 senses that the light-blocking state continues for a first set time, it drives the reminder module 13 to issue a first reminder notification. The reminder module 13 is communicatively connected to the first sensing module 11 and stops issuing the first reminder notification and starts timing after the recognition signal is generated. After the reminder module 13 receives the recognition signal and stops issuing the first reminder notification for a second set time, it issues a second reminder notification, wherein the second set time is greater than the first set time. In order to remind the patient, family or caregiver to place the carrier 1 on the platform 41 for weighing, the light blocking sensor 12 and the reminder module 13 can be used to remind the patient when the food is first placed and after a period of eating. The first setting time can be, for example, 1 minute to prevent the patient from forgetting to record and starting to eat. After the carrier 1 is placed on the platform 41 in the correct position, the reminder module 13 can stop providing the first reminder notification. The second setting time is to prevent the patient from forgetting to record after eating, so it is generally longer than the first setting time, for example, 30 minutes, 1 hour, etc. When the carrier 1 is a tableware dedicated to each patient, the second setting time length can be customized according to the status of each patient to meet the normal eating time of each patient and achieve a more accurate reminder effect. The second reminder notification triggered by the second set time can be manually released, or automatically stopped again in response to the generation of the approval signal. The reminder component 13 can be used as a reminder notification through components such as a display screen, a buzzer or an LED light, and the first reminder notification and the second reminder notification issued by the reminder component 13 can be set according to needs.

Specifically, the recording system achieves the effect of automatically generating electronic eating records through specific hardware and software technical features. After the carrier containing food is placed on the platform of the weighing device, weighing images are captured from all directions. Subsequently, through intelligent image integration, recognition, comparison, calculation, etc., the types of food eaten and their actual weights are obtained. The food status before and after eating can be automatically calculated, judged and recorded, and it has extremely good application convenience. That is, for patients, family members or caregivers, they only need to place the carrier before and after eating on the platform of the weighing device to automatically generate a record of food intake with food types and weights, without having to weigh and record food types and their corresponding weights one by one, which effectively solves the difficulties and inconveniences in food record operations. Medical staff only need to use the nursing database to quickly browse the food records of each patient, eliminating the need to find patients, family members or caregivers one by one to collect food information, and the many inconveniences caused by paper records with mixed handwriting and difficult to identify information. In terms of handover and information integration, the recording system can help medical staff significantly reduce the time and effort required to handle the project. The present invention also proposes many technical features that can be further added. For example, to enhance the convenience of reviewing the captured status at any time, this can be achieved through the display module and the medical login module of the weighing device. In this way, when there is no device available to connect to the nursing database, the records can be directly read through the weighing device. At the same time, the display module can also prompt the patient, family members or caregivers whether the weight record is completed. ; or to help medical staff integrate multiple meal information of the same patient, the recording module can add up the multiple meal intake information of the same patient within a set period to generate applicable total intake information for medical staff to review and use; and to further prevent patients, family members or caregivers from forgetting to record weight, the light blocking sensor of the carrier and the reminder module can realize an automatic reminder function. Based on practical experience and feedback from visits to actual hospitalized patients and medical staff, the team of this invention understands that the patient's food record task is a very important but inconvenient item for both patients and medical staff. In the treatment and care process, there are already many matters that need to be paid attention to and tedious matters. Therefore, if patients and medical staff can be provided with relevant auxiliary systems in terms of food record, the accuracy and convenience of the recorded information can be greatly improved, and patients can also get a better treatment and recuperation experience. Therefore, the invention team conceived and proposed an automated recording system that is different from the existing simple weighing device. Through a greatly automated and simplified weight recording method and the function of automatic integration of recorded information, it can effectively assist patients and medical staff to easily complete the recording of necessary and important information.
