摘要
The present invention generally relates to weight scales. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention are directed to providing a weight management (e.g., loss, gain, maintenance) system consisting of an electronic scale device that measures body weight and reports measurements to a computing element embedded in the scale itself or via wireless technology to a companion application on a remote computing device (e.g., Smartphone, Tablet PC). Users set weight management goals, for instance, in pounds or kilos and length of time in which to manage weight on the application. Thereafter, weight management (e.g., loss, gain, maintenance) progress is tracked by the application every time the scale is used. As an incentive to complete weight management goals, users load money or digital currency into the application's built in fully-functional electronic wallet (software used to send/receive money or digital currency) (credit cards may also be accepted); if the user's weight management goals are not met, the money or electronic currency will be automatically sent to a third party of their choice. In certain embodiments, as a disincentive option, the system will send money to a third party is a person or group that the participant would not want to support or send money to. In certain embodiments, as an incentive option, the third party is a person or group that the participant would ordinarily want to send money to.
