  • Publication number: 20260194391
    Abstract: A method capable of objectively, accurately and readily measuring the color of a post-chew chewing check gum is desired. The post-chew chewing check gum is placed on a dedicated mount 10 provided with chromatic reference colors 12, and the dedicated mount 10 is photographed by a camera. A photographed image of the chromatic reference colors 12 is compared with the chromatic reference colors 12 provided on the dedicated mount 10, and a color correction amount of the photographed chromatic reference color image is calculated. Then, the correction amount is applied to the color of a chewing check gum image to detect the true color of the chewing check gum placed on the dedicated mount 10. The true color of the post-chew chewing check gum is applied to a preliminarily stored chewing ability determination color scale to measure the chewing ability of a person who has chewed the chewing check gum.

  • Patent number: 10588548
    Abstract: A chewing detecting device includes: earphone-type external auditory meatus sensors which have a pair of a light emitting element and a light receiving element and in which the light receiving element receives reflective light of light emitted by the light emitting element into an external auditory meatus to output a voltage signal corresponding to a light receiving amount; association processing means associating an output signal of the external auditory meatus sensors with a motion of a jaw, and outputting a chewing signal showing that the jaw performs chewing; and chewing section sensing means which determines whether or not an output of the external auditory meatus sensors is based on the motion of the jaw (within a chewing section), and which invalidates the output of the association processing means when the output of the external auditory meatus sensors is not based on the motion of the jaw (without the chewing section).
