Automatic Detecting of Meal Patterns using Conductive Chopsticks

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Comfort meals are very important for the health of senior citizens.
If he/she eats poorly, his/her health may be destroyed.
To solve this problem, the life-log data of eating habits are effective.
However,
conventional sensing approaches with video cameras suffer from privacy
concerns and low accuracy that reflects poor lighting conditions.
This paper proposes to solve this problem with a new method that
records an ingestion log without burdening users.
Our proposed method, which focuses on the closed circuit conductivity that
is constructed from food, chopsticks, and a human body,
determines the resistance value of the closed circuit
and detects two actions: grasping food and carrying it to the mouth.
We implemented our prototype chopsticks and experimentally
verified our proposed methods. The accuracy of carrying food to
the mouth exceeded 99% using F-measure.
