A portable beverage container is provided. According to an aspect of the present invention, a portable beverage container includes: a light emitting portion that emits light into a housing; A light receiving unit for receiving the irradiated light; And a control unit for calculating remaining drink amount information based on the signal output from the light receiving unit and for providing a notification signal when the remaining drink amount information is unchanged for a predetermined period of time, And are disposed symmetrically with respect to the center area of the housing.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a portable beverage container, and more particularly, to a portable beverage container that can provide convenience to a user.
Water is a very important factor that accounts for more than 70% of our body. It promotes metabolism in the body, helps cell respiration, maintains body temperature and prevents skin aging. Therefore, we can easily hear advice from many media and experts that we should drink water frequently.
Generally, the recommended amount of water that a person should drink per day is 8-10 cups per 200ml. On the other hand, every time we drink water, it is troublesome to calculate the amount of water consumed and satisfy the daily recommended amount of water.
A problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a portable beverage container capable of providing a notice to a user at the time of drinking water.
The problems to be solved by the present invention are not limited to the above-mentioned problems, and other matters not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a portable beverage container including: a light emitting unit that emits light into a housing; A light receiving unit for receiving the irradiated light; And a control unit for calculating remaining drink amount information based on the signal output from the light receiving unit and for providing a notification signal when the remaining drink amount information is unchanged for a predetermined period of time, And are disposed symmetrically with respect to the center area of the housing.
When the signal output from the light-receiving unit is a first signal, the control unit determines that a beverage exists between the light-emitting unit and the light-receiving unit. When the signal output from the light- It can be determined that the beverage does not exist between the light receiving portion and the light receiving portion.
Also, the intensity of the first signal may be greater than the intensity of the second signal.
The portable terminal may further include a first transmitting / receiving unit for transmitting the calculated remaining amount of drink information to the mobile terminal.
The apparatus may further include a display unit for performing a notification operation in a visual form according to the provided notification signal, and an alarm unit for performing a notification operation in an audible form.
Other specific details of the invention are included in the detailed description and drawings.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS The advantages and features of the present invention, and the manner of achieving them, will be apparent from and elucidated with reference to the embodiments described hereinafter in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The present invention may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Is provided to fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
It is to be understood that when an element or layer is referred to as being "on" or " on "of another element or layer, All included. On the other hand, a device being referred to as "directly on" or "directly above " indicates that no other device or layer is interposed in between.
The terms spatially relative, "below", "beneath", "lower", "above", "upper" May be used to readily describe a device or a relationship of components to other devices or components. Spatially relative terms should be understood to include, in addition to the orientation shown in the drawings, terms that include different orientations of the device during use or operation. For example, when inverting an element shown in the figures, an element described as "below" or "beneath" of another element may be placed "above" another element. Thus, the exemplary term "below" can include both downward and upward directions. The elements can also be oriented in different directions, so that spatially relative terms can be interpreted according to orientation.
One element is referred to as being "connected to " or" coupled to "another element, either directly connected or coupled to another element, One case. On the other hand, when one element is referred to as being "directly connected to" or "directly coupled to " another element, it does not intervene another element in the middle. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification. "And / or" include each and every combination of one or more of the mentioned items.
Although the first, second, etc. are used to describe various elements, components and / or sections, it is needless to say that these elements, components and / or sections are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, element or section from another element, element or section. Therefore, it goes without saying that the first element, the first element or the first section mentioned below may be the second element, the second element or the second section within the technical spirit of the present invention.
The terminology used herein is for the purpose of illustrating embodiments and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention. In the present specification, the singular form includes plural forms unless otherwise specified in the specification. It is noted that the terms "comprises" and / or "comprising" used in the specification are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the components, steps, operations, and / Or additions.
Unless defined otherwise, all terms (including technical and scientific terms) used herein may be used in a sense commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. Also, commonly used predefined terms are not ideally or excessively interpreted unless explicitly defined otherwise.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to the like elements throughout. A description thereof will be omitted.
