In addition, the at least one electronic sensor can be configured to use the recorded data of the opening processes and / or closing processes to determine the current filling quantity of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product or the stationery product. Alternatively or additionally, the at least one electronic sensor can be configured to be able to estimate the number of remaining possible product applications.

For example, such a determination or estimation of the current filling quantity and / or the remaining number of possible uses of the product, e.g. a cosmetic product, based on the fact that the number of opening and / or closing processes is recorded by the sensor or the packaging and compared with a known possible number or a known possible maximum number of possible uses of the product, e.g. the cosmetic product or the stationery product.

As an alternative or in addition, it is conceivable, for example, that the time period during which the product is handled or applied, that is to say the Time span / the total time span during which the packaging is / was in an open state can be compared with a known possible maximum duration of use of the product, for example in this way alternatively or additionally a determination or estimation of the current filling quantity of the product, for example the cosmetic product or of the stationery product.

In this case, for example, when a predetermined number of opening operations and / or when a predetermined number of closing operations are exceeded, a message about the current filling quantity of the product and / or about a remaining number of possible uses of the product, eg. B. the cosmetic product or the stationery product, for example a warning message, to a user and / or a database which informs the user or the database of the current filling quantity of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product, or about a critical level of the filling quantity of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product and / or about a critical remaining number of possible uses of the product.

As an alternative or in addition, it is conceivable that, for example, if a predetermined period of time during which the packaging is / was in an open state is exceeded, a message about the current filling quantity of the product and / or about a remaining number of possible uses of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product or the stationery product, for example a warning message, can be sent to a user and / or a database which informs the user or the database of the current filling quantity of the cosmetic product or of a critical status of the filling quantity of the product, e.g. Cosmetic product or the stationery product, or can inform about a critical remaining number of possible uses of the product.

Said at least one electronic sensor can be integrated in the packaging, for example in the exemplary closure part, wherein the exemplary closure part itself can comprise one or more components.

The packaging and / or the at least one closure part can also have, for example, locking mechanisms, such as, for example, a screw closure mechanism and / or a plug closure mechanism and / or the magnetic closure mechanism.

The term packaging for a product, e.g. a cosmetic product, for example, a housing or a housing part and / or a sleeve can also be understood, which the product, e.g. a cosmetic product or a stationery product can at least partially comprise or contain.

In addition, the packaging of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product, for storage between uses of the product, e.g. the cosmetic product or the stationery product by the user.

The packaging can, in particular, be interpreted or designed as a reusable or reclosable packaging or as a reusable or reclosable housing or as a reusable or reclosable container. The packaging described here by way of example can also be referred to as electronic packaging or as intelligent electronic packaging or as smart electronic packaging.

Said at least one possible exemplary closure part of the packaging can be designed such that after manual removal of the closure part, i.e. after an opening process of the packaging, the user receives the product, e.g. the cosmetic product can be available for use and that after the packaging has been closed by the closure part, the product, e.g. the cosmetic product, can be protected against environmental influences and can be stored.

For example, the closure part can be designed as a cap or as a protector.

An opening process of the packaging or a manual removal of the closure part can also be understood, for example, to mean that an opening can be released, the opening giving the user access to the product, e.g. Access to the cosmetic product that can be used.

Accordingly, a manual closing process of the packaging can be understood, for example, to mean that an opening of the packaging can be covered, for protection or to protect and to store the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product.

The packaging for a product, for example a cosmetic product, described here as an example, makes it easier to determine or estimate the current filling quantity of the product, for example the cosmetic product. Likewise, the packaging described here as an example for a product makes it easier to estimate or determine how often the user uses the product, eg the cosmetic product, can still apply before the product, eg the cosmetic product, is used up.

For example, Avoid unnecessarily or at the wrong time the product, e.g. the cosmetic product is disposed of by the user and the product, e.g. B. the cosmetic product is wasted.

In addition, the user can be enabled, for example, the product in time, e.g. the cosmetic product, refill or get a new product in time.

Said at least one electronic sensor of the packaging can be understood, inter alia, to mean that the sensor can comprise at least one electronic circuit / an electronic component and / or an electronic computing unit / a microprocessor, or are connected to an electronic computing unit / a microprocessor configured to open and / or closing operations performed with the at least one closure part and to be able to record data of the opening operations and / or closing operations, as well as on the basis of the recorded data of the opening operations and / or closing operations, the current filling quantity of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product, or based on the recorded data of the opening and / or closing processes, the remaining number of possible uses of the product, e.g. of the cosmetic product.
