A method includes receiving, via an electronic scale device supporting a user thereon, an indication to begin a verified weight sequence. Responsive to the indication to begin, the method includes: (1) determining a body weight of the user supported by the electronic scale device, (2) receiving, via an electronic device, image data that is reproducible as a visual image of at least a portion of the user supported on the housing of the scale, and (3) generating a data file including: (a) weight data that is representative of the determined body weight of the user supported by the housing, (b) the image data, and (c) time data corresponding to a date and time that the body weight of the user was determined.

Among other things, a system for lighting a light for an individual rising from a bed is provided. In particular embodiments, the system can include a mat and a light unit wirelessly connected, so that when an individual steps on the mat as he or she rises from the bed a signal is sent to the light unit, activating the light. A weight sensor in the mat can measure the weight placed on the mat, so that unintentional lighting can be avoided and so that weight information can be recorded. Embodiments can also include a signal transmitter to send weight and activation information to a remote receiver.

A dishware which allows a user to monitor his or her eating and health habits directly. The dishware includes an upper bowl-shaped body, a lower bowl-shaped body, a body mass index (BMI) reader, a microcontroller, and a housing base. The upper bowl-shaped body is detachable and washable. The BMI reader includes a first finger sensor and a second finger sensor. The first finger sensor and the second finger sensor are mounted to the lower bowl-shaped body. The lower bowl-shaped body is attached to the upper bowl-shaped body with a concave surface of the lower bowl-shaped body pressing against the convex surface of the upper bowl-shaped body. The housing base is centrally and adjacently connected to the lower bowl-shaped body, opposite the upper bowl-shaped body. The microcontroller is electronically connected to the BMI reader and internally mounted within the housing base.

A bottle according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a sidewall, at least one cap removably attached to the sidewall, and a control unit. The control unit is configured to determine whether fluid expelled from the bottle is consumed by a user.

A pillow, with its internally contained electronics (an audio receiver, decoder, function controller, power controller, transmitter selector, interface, and transmitter circuitries) that provides a user with the ability to conveniently speak, or sound out in any manner, audible commands into it (the pillow) to remotely control the operating functions of various different types of devices while he or she is comfortably resting on it (the pillow)

The disclosure relates to the smart water bottle capable of responding to verbal commands. The bottle is designed to provide an easier, more accurate approach to tracking and loggings one's water/fluid intake with minimal effort from the user. Mass utilization of this environmental-friendly hydration tool will also serve as a catalyst for the promotion of environmental consciousness and add value by helping push the conversation forward about global environmental protection. Variations of this mechanism will grant anyone, with a smart device, the ability to monitor the amount of water/fluid consumption, not only for themselves, but also for anyone else they care for, from infants to senior citizens. The device will operate in conjunction with its namesakes' software application. Regardless of gender, age, height, weight, health condition, or activity level this tool will undoubtedly aid the user in leading a healthier, more productive lifestyle and aid in the preservation of life.
