Description

Technical field

The invention relates to small household appliances for the kitchen, in particular, to carob coffee makers with a control function via a mobile application and can be used in the manufacture of coffee makers and the development of electronic control systems for them.

State of the art

A number of solutions are known from the prior art aimed at creating a coffee maker, the control system of which would allow remote monitoring of its condition, setting personal user settings and controlling the operation of the device from a mobile application.

So from the document CN 107232985 A, a coffee maker is known, including a water tank and a milk tank, pumps, sensors for the temperature and volume of supplied liquids, sensors for monitoring the residual volume of liquids in source tanks, a mixing volume and a spill module. The coffee maker can be controlled remotely via SMS, Wi-Fi or by sending commands via other wireless data transfer protocols. The user can set the strength and volume of the drink, as well as the time by which the coffee should be prepared and the temperature at which the finished drink should be maintained.

The advantage of the proposed solution over the known one is the ability to set the order of serving coffee and milk in a cup, the ability to download recipes from the Internet and exchange individual recipes with users of similar coffee makers. All this allows the user to prepare drinks that are more in line with his taste preferences. An additional advantage is the ability to assign buttons on the control panel to prepare drinks from user-defined recipes, instead of the default recipes. Thus, the time for preparing drinks that differ from those provided by the factory settings is reduced: the user does not need to re-set the required ratios of ingredients each time and even enter the application, just press a button on the control panel. The known solution also does not provide for the possibility of maintaining coffee consumption statistics and making individual recommendations based on it. The proposed coffee maker is also equipped with a detector for the presence of a horn in the brew group, which eliminates the possibility of starting the coffee maker without a horn and increases the safety of using the device.

The closest analogue of the proposed technical solution is the carob coffee maker disclosed in the document AU 2015101973 A4 with the possibility of remote control via a mobile application. The body of this coffee maker has a water tank, a system for supplying water from the tank to the brew group, including a pump, a water preheating unit, an associated temperature sensor, a second heating unit with a temperature sensor, and a sensor that transmits the flow rate and water temperature in the tract. The coffee maker also includes a steam line equipped with a heating unit and a temperature sensor. The signals from the sensors are sent to the control unit, which regulates the temperature of the water supplied to the brew group by controlling the temperature of the first and second heating units, as well as the flow rate. The control unit may have built-in memory for storing statistical data on coffee preparation parameters. The coffee maker is equipped with a control panel with a display that shows the status of the device, such as the remaining water level in the tank, the water temperature and its flow. The control panel also has buttons for launching programs for preparing one or two servings of coffee and a button for water supply.

The coffee maker can be controlled remotely using a mobile application in which the user can set coffee preparation parameters, such as volume, temperature and preparation time, or download a ready-made recipe from the Internet that is suitable for a given type and degree of roast beans. In the mobile application, the entire history of the preparation of drinks is available with the parameters for preparing coffee and indicating the date and time the coffee maker was started. The app can give advice on how to improve the recipe. Connection to the application is carried out through the communication protocol of the wireless communication protocol defined in the application, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and similar.

The advantage of the proposed solution over its analogue is the ability to set not only the amount and temperature of water, but also the amount and temperature of milk and / or milk foam, as well as the ratio of the amount of coffee and milk, which allows you to prepare a wider range of drinks that are more in line with the individual preferences of users. . In addition, the user can set the order in which coffee and milk enter the cup, which also increases the degree of compliance of the resulting drink with user requests. The analog also does not provide the ability to expand the recipe database by exchanging them with users of similar coffee makers through the application and does not have the option to set the buttons on the control panel to execute user programs.

Unlike the analogue, the proposed solution gives not only recommendations for improving the recipe, but also analyzes the amount of liquid, coffee and milk consumed with drinks, counts the number of calories and generates personal recommendations based on the schedule and health of the user, thereby saving the latter from the need to independently count the amount consumed and monitor the approach to the daily intake. Several users can be connected to one device at once, recommendations for which are formed on an individual basis. An additional advantage is the ability to turn on the coffee maker at a certain time, which eliminates the need to wait for the preparation of a drink. The design of the analog also does not include a detector for the presence of a horn (holder).

Thus, the objective of the present invention is to create a carob coffee maker with a control function via a mobile application via a wireless network, which allows you to fine-tune the amount of ingredients in accordance with user preferences, set the sequence of coffee and milk, the stratum time of the preparation program; having the ability to set the buttons on the control panel for the execution of user programs, providing individual recommendations based on the statistics of preparing drinks, having the ability to exchange recipes between users of similar devices, and also allowing remote monitoring of the device status.

The technical result of the claimed invention is the simplification of the process of preparing drinks in accordance with the individual preferences of the user, expanding the database of available recipes, the possibility of simple and quick reprogramming of the control panel in accordance with user needs and preferences, the formation of individual recommendations based on the schedule and health status of the consumer based on statistics.

The operation of the coffee maker can be launched from the application, where the user can select a drink from the default list, download a recipe from the Internet or create his own by setting the ratio of milk and coffee, water temperature, sequence of water and milk supply, portion size. The set parameters and the command to start the preparation of the drink are transmitted to the transmit-receive unit 26 of the coffee maker. The required parameters are supported by the cooking parameters control unit 14, which sets the temperature of the ingredients, their quantity and the sequence of feeding into the cup.

In case of insufficient amount of water and/or milk in tanks 2, 3, lack of holder 17 or spillage during the command to prepare a drink, the application displays a corresponding message.

If there are buttons on the control panel 24, the application allows the user to assign functions to the buttons to execute recipes other than the recipes from the default list, thus reducing the time to select the desired program. The application also allows you to pre-set the start time for preparing a drink, thereby eliminating the need to wait for the end of the drink preparation program, as well as allowing you to prepare drinks according to an individual schedule (for example, every day for breakfast).

Recipes downloaded from the Internet, created by the user, as well as drink consumption statistics can be stored in the memory block of the device on which the application is installed, in the memory block of the coffee maker control module (not shown in the drawings), or in the cloud storage (on the server). Statistics include data on all drinks prepared by the user, their preparation time, their nutritional value, and are further used by the application to create individual recommendations. In particular, the application can warn the user when approaching the daily intake of milk and / or coffee, provide information on the amount of fluid and calories consumed per day, recommend recipes and the optimal time to start the cooking program, taking into account the user's schedule, personal preferences and health status. The compilation of individual recommendations based on the analysis of statistics can be carried out using machine learning algorithms.

The application also provides the ability to wirelessly share recipes with other users of coffee makers with a similar control system. Reception and transmission of data between users, as well as between users and the server, is carried out using any type of communication / connection, such as Wi-Fi, and / or Bluetooth, and / or mobile cellular communication GSM, 3G, 4G, LTE

The power supply of the electronic components of the coffee maker is carried out from the power supply unit 22, which can be connected to a standard power supply network or to an independent source.
