Objective
?
The proposed system is nutrition information system collaborating by PDA and server. It can help the users monitor their healthy conditions conveniently.
It is a portable, internet-enabled nutrition advisor, which can be used to keep track of user’s diet and workout history, generate warnings of harmful food based on users’ body information, and create periodic health reports. Also, this system will benefit restaurant and food suppliers, who are also our users, that they could retrieve customer order data for commercial usage.
?
There are many nutrition information systems existing in the market. After studying, we found that those systems have problems more or less, they are not good enough. Some of them provide too professional function, some of them do not have user friendly interface, and some of them do not have reasonable healthy control methods. These problems will be described in the Problem part in details.
?
Hence, there is much room to improve such nutrition systems. Besides the basic functions, more new features will be added into the system. The most significant improvement in our proposed system is introducing PDA device into the system architecture. Users take along with PDA to record necessary data. The PDA connects to server, which stores nutrition database, to update data periodically. These proposed new features and functions will be described in Function part in detail.
?
Moreover, the proposed system enlarges the scope. Not only users, but also restaurants will be involved in its scope. The details will be described in Scope part.
