## Abstract

Disclosed herein is a breast pump sensor network. The breast pump sensor network includes an emitter disposed within a bodily fluid capture system and a detector disposed within the bodily fluid capture system. Further disclosed is a method for controlling the breast pump sensor network which includes emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation within a bodily fluid capture system, detecting one or more drops of body fluid within the bodily fluid capture system, determining a bodily fluid flow rate based at least on the detected one or more drops of bodily fluid, and providing the determined bodily fluid flow rate to at least one user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A graphical user interface displayed on a device screen, comprising:
a first interactive graphical user interface element representative of a breast milk inventory associated with a particular pumping session, wherein the graphical user interface further provides graphical elements representing a freezer icon and a refrigerator icon, and wherein breast milk collected during the particular pumping session is identified as being stored in a freezer or a refrigerator based on a user dragging the graphical user interface element representative of a breast milk inventory associated with a particular pumping session on the device screen to the freezer icon or to the refrigerator icon in the graphical user interface, and
a second interactive graphical user interface element providing a breast milk freezer inventory and a refrigerator breast milk inventory which are stored in the device and updated in the second graphical user interface based on the user dragging the first graphical user interface element representative of breast milk inventory to the freezer icon or the refrigerator icon,
wherein the breast milk inventory is automatically updated with a visual indication of a total volume of milk pumped.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 1, wherein the first graphical user interface element representative of breast milk inventory provides a graphical representation of the time and date of the particular pumping session, wherein the time and date of the particular pumping session is associated with the breast milk freezer inventory or the refrigerator breast milk inventory based on the user interaction with the freezer icon or the user interaction with the refrigerator icon.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 1, wherein the first graphical user interface element includes an icon representing that pumped breast milk is fed to a baby.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 1, wherein the second graphical user interface provides a user selectable expiration date for pumped breast milk.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 1, wherein the user manually updates the breast milk inventory based on user interaction with the graphical user interface.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 1, further comprising, a circular representation indicating one or more food sources for a child.

### Claim 7 (depends on 6)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 6, wherein the one or more food sources for the child may be indicated on the circular representation by one or more colors.

### Claim 8 (depends on 6)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 6, wherein the one or more food sources include, on the circular representation, a representation of breast milk pumped.

### Claim 9 (depends on 6)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 6, wherein the one or more food sources include, on the circular representation, a representation of milk that has been stored in the breast milk inventory.

### Claim 10 (depends on 6)

The graphical user interface displayed on the device screen of claim 6, wherein a total volume of breast milk pumped on a particular day is displayed within the circular representation.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 1, wherein the breast milk inventory is automatically updated with a visual indication of a date and a time in the display screen.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 1, further comprising:
a third interactive graphical user interface element representative of breast pump trend information.

### Claim 13 (depends on 12)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 12, wherein breast pump trend information includes pumping information over a period of between 4 and 7 days.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 13, wherein pumping information includes at least one of a breast pump flow rate, number of pumping sessions, a graphical representation of the weekly volume pumped, and a bar representation for each day of the period.

### Claim 15 (depends on 13)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 13, wherein pumping information includes a total volume pumped per day.

### Claim 16 (depends on 13)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 13, wherein pumping information includes a total volume pumped per breast.

### Claim 17 (depends on 12)

The graphical user interface displayed on the display screen of claim 12, wherein pumping information includes per-session flow rate.
