Definitions

  • Document DE3514312 discloses a container comprising all the technical features of the preamble of claim 1.
  • the switch may provide a tactile indication, or indication may be given by means of an electrically or mechanically generated sound.
  • the container registers "compliance" for the interval, and if not, it registers "non-compliance” for the interval. After a certain amount of intervals, the number of compliances or non-compliances out of a number of intervals may be presented to the user or transmitted via an interface to an external device.
  • more than one registration of non-compliance out of five may result in a red light signal or a warning tone to be transmitted to the user, whereas one or less non-compliances out of five may result in a green colour, or no warning tone being transmitted to the user.
  • the container could be adapted always to calculate the compliance from a period comprising a fixed number of intervals. I.e. each time a new interval is started, the evaluation of compliance is based on the latest interval and a fixed number of previous intervals. This provides a moving average, i.e. an average over a fixed preceding period of time.
  • cover means for covering an opening of the container in a closed condition of the container are provided, the cover means being movable between a closed end position and an open end position, the cover means in the open end position having been rotated about a longitudinal axis of the container in order to form a stand for positioning of the container in an inclined position on a horizontal surface.
  • at least part of the movement of the cover means from the closed end position to the open end position actuates movement of the ejection structure from an idle position to an ejected position, and vice versa.
  • the container has a timer, and the following functions are performed by processing means in the container:
  • the container is adapted to determine interactive compliance as follows:
