Abstract

See full text

The invention includes a system and method for communicating information about attributes of a food. Common attributes of a food include its nutritional content (e.g. its protein content, salt content, vitamin B12 content, etc.), but there are many others. Communication of information to a human may occur when the human sees a facial glyph, the facial glyph representing information about the food's attributes. The specification teaches embodiments of the invention that map food attribute information (and possibly other information) into attributes of the face shown in the facial glyph, e.g. the appearance of the nose in the facial glyph may communicate salt content of a food via a longer nose for higher salt content, and a smaller nose for lower salt content. Embodiments of the invention vary the mapping of food attributes to facial attributes to improve information communication. Accessory visual elements may enhance the information communicated.
