Abstract
A calorie estimation apparatus and method that analyze a user's skin spectrum to determine calories of food and drink that the user has ingested are provided. The calorie estimation apparatus includes a spectrum measurer configured to measure a skin spectrum of a user; and a processor configured to determine a noise of the measured skin spectrum, and estimate calories consumed by the user based on the determined noise.
Claims32
A calorie estimation apparatus comprising:
- a spectrum measurer configured to measure a skin spectrum of a user;
- and
- a processor configured to determine a noise of the measured skin spectrum, and estimate calories consumed by the user based on the determined noise.
A calorie estimation method comprising:
- measuring a skin spectrum of a user;
- determining a noise of the measured skin spectrum;

1 more element
A calorie estimation apparatus comprising:
- a communicator configured to receive skin spectrum data of a user from a spectrum measurement device;
- and
- a processor configured to determine a noise of the received skin spectrum data, and estimate calories consumed by the user based on the determined noise.
A wearable device comprising:
- a main body;
- a spectroscope that is included in the main body, the spectroscope being configured to radiate light to skin of a user, detect spectral lines of the light that is reflected or scattered from the skin, and measure a skin spectrum based on the detected spectral lines;
- and
- a processor configured to determine a noise of the measured skin spectrum and estimate calories consumed by the user based on the determined noise.
