Abstract
Apparatus and methods are described for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl. One or more light sensors are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl. A computer processor detects a set of three or more spectral components that have a characteristic relationship with each other in a light spectrum of a microorganism, by analyzing the received light, and determines that there is a presence of the microorganism within the bodily emission in response thereto. Other applications are also described.
Claims21
An apparatus for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more light sensors that are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl;
- and
- a computer processor configured to:
- detect a set of three or more spectral components that have a characteristic relationship with each other in a light spectrum of a microorganism, by analyzing the received light, and
- in response thereto, determine that there is a presence of the microorganism within the bodily emission.
A method for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl, the method comprising:
- while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl, receiving light from the toilet bowl using one or more light sensors;
- and
- using a computer processor:
- detecting a set of three or more spectral components that have a characteristic relationship with each other in a light spectrum of a microorganism, by analyzing the received light;
- and
- in response thereto, determining that there is a presence of the microorganism within the bodily emission.
An apparatus for use with a bodily emission of a subject that is disposed within a toilet bowl, the apparatus comprising:
- one or more light sensors that are configured to receive light from the toilet bowl, while the bodily emission is disposed within the toilet bowl;
- and
- a computer processor configured to:
- detect a set of spectral components that have a characteristic relationship with each other in a light spectrum of a microorganism selected from the group consisting of:
- L. plantarum and E. Coli, by analyzing the received light, and
- in response thereto, determine that there is a presence of the selected microorganism within the bodily emission.
