Phone App Idea

[Zeeq]

Hello, I just wanted your guys' opinions on my idea for a phone app. Its basically an app where you take a picture of a barcode or nutritional text of a food label and it will look up in a database the ingredients of the food with info about the ingredients.

Example: taking a picture of a barcode for crackers reveals it has monosodium glutamate, in which the database will tell you it is MSG and is known to cause cancer or something.

Problem is I am also afraid of patent infringement because I know there are patents out there where the use of a phone camera to analyze a barcode and retrieve data from a database is claimed and protected so I am afraid of a lawsuit if I go through with this.

I am also aware of some competition FoodScanner iPhone App by DailyBurn, Vegetarian Scanner, VegCheck.com: Is it vegetarian?, RedLaser ― Impossibly accurate barcode scanning
though their apps are not quite the same.

From seeing the number of downloads for the vegcheck (<5000) does my app idea seem worth pursuing?
