Abstract
The system for use with a breath tester includes a computing facility. In a learning mode, the facility is adapted to: receive the weight of a user; receive the details of each drink consumed by a user and the time of consumption of said each drink; receive measurements of breath alcohol content produced by the breath tester; and calculate the elimination rate of the user. In a predictive mode, the facility is adapted to: receive the details of each drink consumed by a user, and the time of consumption of said each drink; and calculate the expected breath alcohol content of the user based on the weight of the user, the calculated elimination rate of the user and said details of each drink consumed by the user and said time of consumption of said each drink.
Claims1
An apparatus comprising:
- a computer system configured to in a learning mode, receive weight of a user;
- receive details of each drink consumed by the user, and time of consumption of said each drink;
- and measurements of breath alcohol content;
- and calculate an elimination rate of the user;
- in a predictive mode, receive the details of each drink consumed by a user, and time of consumption of said each drink;
- and calculate expected breath alcohol content of the user based on the weight of the user, the calculated elimination rate of the user, said details of each drink consumed by the user and said time of consumption of said each drink;
- and receive a desired travel window from the user and warn the user when the calculated expected breath alcohol content suggests that further consumption of alcohol may cause the breath alcohol content of the user to remain in excess of a threshold when the travel window is reached.
