5. Brief Description (about your desired system, e.g. what is the objective of your system? the system scope? industry area? etc.)
Objective:
To give the citizen portable daily eating advices for taking care of health and keeping fit, as well as people’s eating preference to restaurant.
The device would calculate the nutrition facts user needed depending on their general information entered, and give the diet health advices according to their eating habit, in advance, notify them if disease data entered, such as allergic.
Although many similar nutrition systems exist in the market, most of them contain many too professional functions to common users. They do not have friendly user interface, and they let PDA do too many works. Thus, our group proposes to develop a new nutrition system.
Brief System Architecture:
This system (HNMS) includes two sides: PDA and PC server. The PDA is always took along with the user, thus the user can input easy data entry, such as his age, weight, food information, and diet preference, from the PDA. Then the PDA can promote a health diet plan to the user.
In the server side, it contains a great database, which stores food information. Such information includes corresponding nutrition elements, quantity of heat and so on. Restaurants and food suppliers have corresponding account in the database; they can update their food information through internet to the database.
PDA connects with server through wireless network, thus PDA updates the data from server. While the user order food on PDA, the server will calculate the nutrition data based on the input. Then it will give an advice to the user about his food choice. To illustrate, if the food is not good to user’s health, the system can suggest the user to choose a similar taste food, even the other kinds of food.
Scope:
In the PDA side, the users can use this system to monitor their healthy condition, get the healthy advice, and order the food through internet by PDA from restaurants. In the server side, the restaurants can know how their food sells, whether the customer like their food. Finally, the restaurant, food supplier and users will achieve interaction.
Development tools:
In the PDA side, the operation system is Windows Mobile 5.0, while our group will use J2ME to develop the PDA side program. In the server side, the development tool is Servlet.
