Abstract

The instant disclosure relates to a scale assembly applicable to a mobile device, which includes a touch screen and a software application (app). The scale assembly includes a platform, one or more sensing member, one or more flexible member, and a base. When an object is placed on the platform, the sensing member of the scale assembly presses the touch screen of the mobile device, and the mobile device, based on the app, reads the change associated with a sensing value detected by the touch screen, and converts the obtained sensing value difference into the weight of the object.
