說明’即使杯子為不規則形狀，對於給定之杯子，其高度 疋 對應之水量亦為一定的，因此，第三判定裝置 10122仍然可根據壓強感測器10121所偵測到的壓強對應之 高度來判定液體之變化量。 通吊液體所產生之壓強與液面高度有關，在容器傾斜 的情形下’需要根據傾角大小來對壓強感測器1〇121所偵 測到的壓強作一個轉換以精確地量測液體之變化量，此情 开> 下’偵測器1 〇 1亦可包括一個傾角感測器i0

(1^€：05(1)之液體所產生。因此，杯子u沒有傾 斜時’液面之實際高度為h=hd/cosa。因此，第三判定裝置 10122可根據杯子11之傾角以及傾斜時液體所產生之壓強 來判疋對應之杯子11沒有傾斜時之液面高度，從而能夠判 定第一預定時間段内液體之變化量。 需要說明，上文以容器為圓柱形杯子，並且壓強感測器 141902.doc 201104228 10121安裝在杯子底部正中央為例，對容器傾斜時如何判 定液體變化量進行了說明。一般熟習此項技術者應能理 解’即使為不規則形狀之容器，以及壓強感測器1〇121安 裝在容器底部任意位置時，對於確定形狀之容器、確定之 壓強感測器10 121之安裝位置，容器傾斜一定角度時，第 三判定裝置10122根據壓強感測器10121所偵測之壓強，均 能判定出液面之高度或者液體之重量，從而亦能判定第一 預定時間段内之液體變化量。 近紅外光中，例如由LED發出之中心波長為940 nm之譜 線，經過5 cm之純淨水後，至少40%之能量會被吸收掉。 右近、·αι外光經過5 cm路程的茶、果汁或者咖啡，會被吸收 得更多。因此’可利用近紅外光此種被液體尤其可飲用之 液體吸收之特性來偵測容器中之液面高度，下文對此進行 夺細描述。 在貝知*例中，僧測器1 〇 1包括一個近红外光源1 〇 13 1及 多個近紅外感測器10132及第四判定裝置1〇133，如圖6所 示。其中，12為液面位置《近紅外光源丨〇丨3丨發射近紅外 光，在容器11中沒有液體時，其發射之近紅外光能夠被各 個感測器10132接收到。多個近紅外感測器1〇132分別位於 容器11之不同高度之位置，用於偵測近紅外光源1〇131發 出之近紅外光之強度。第四判定裝置1〇133根據多個近紅 外感測器1 013 2所偵測到的近紅外光之強度，判定容器i i 中液體之液面咼度，從而判定該第—預定時間段内液體之 變化量。 141902.doc 201104228 具體地，若某個近红外感測器i〇I32位於液面下方，則 其所偵測到的光強非常弱，若其位於液面上方，則其偵測 到的光強較強。因此，第四判定裝置1〇133可根據某個近 紅外感測器所偵測到的光強來判定近紅外感測器與液面之 相對位置，亦即，第四判定裝置10133可判定偵測到的光 強向於第二預定臨限值之近紅外感測器1〇132位於液面上 方，偵測到的光強低於第三預定臨限值之近紅外感測器 10132位於液面下方。 若多個近紅外感測器10132中有部分所偵測到的光強大 於第二預定臨限值，有部分所偵測到的光強低於第三預定 臨限值，則第四判定裝置10133判定光強高於第二預定臨 限值及光強低於第三預定臨限值之相鄰兩個近紅外感測器

Description of the Invention: TECHNICAL FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for managing the amount of liquid in a container. [Prior Art] People need to consume enough water every day to be good for their health, but people often don't get enough because they don't have enough time, don't feel thirsty, forget to drink water, etc. According to reports, most people have moderate dehydration symptoms. Many people drink water until they are thirsty. In fact, waiting for the thirst to drink water is wrong, because the water content in the human blood is already very low, so it is necessary to secrete water from the salivary glands, which has already had a negative impact on health. Many chronic symptoms are actually signs of dehydration. In addition, the elderly can't rely on feeling thirsty and drinking water. Because thirst feels down with age. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above problems in the prior art, the present invention provides, in an embodiment, a technical solution for managing the amount of liquid in a container: detecting the amount of change in the liquid in the container within a predetermined time period and giving the user corresponding prompt information. . According to an embodiment of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus for managing a liquid in a container, comprising: a detector for detecting a change in the liquid in the container during the first predetermined time period; the first determination And means for determining whether the amount of change is lower than the first predetermined threshold; and prompting means for issuing the first prompt information when the amount of change is lower than the first predetermined threshold. According to another embodiment of the present invention, there is provided a method of managing the amount of liquid in a container, comprising: detecting a change in the amount of liquid in the container during a first predetermined period of time; determining whether the amount of change is below a predetermined threshold If the change 141902.doc 201104228 is below the predetermined threshold, the first prompt message is sent. By using the apparatus and method provided by the present invention, it is possible to remind people of potable liquids such as drinking water, and to enable people to grasp the amount of use, which is beneficial to people's health. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 is a block diagram showing the construction of a device for managing the amount of liquid in a container in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In the picture! The device i = includes the detector 101, the first determining device 02, and the prompt device 〇3. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the style of the container can be varied, for example, the container can be a cup, the device 1 can be mounted on the bottom of the cup, and the device 100 can also be placed in a coaster. On the coaster. It should be noted that the first determining means 102 and the prompting means 103 of the device 10 may be located anywhere in the container, except that the debt detector 101 needs to be located at a particular location in the container. The working process of the device 100 will be described in detail below. First, the amount of change in the liquid in the content HU of the price detector 101_the predetermined time period. Then, the first determining means 102 determines the amount of change in the liquid: lower than the first predetermined threshold. If the amount of liquid change is lower than the first predetermined threshold, the prompting device 103 issues the first prompt information. The first prompt information may be a variety of "liquid (4). ... for example, the first-information information device is less than the first predetermined threshold, or similar information, in the case of a cup, The first-tip information can be the reminder information of the owner of the water cup 14I902.doc 201104228. & No device 103 emits the first - shake.. ribbed. The method can also be a variety of 'for example, using a buzzer to make a "beep" sound; for example, using a speaker to play "liquid change amount K team n predetermined threshold" or play #又曰For another example, use the interpretation of the Bohai Sea _.. shoulders, 4 does not "liquid change is less than a predetermined threshold." Specifically, the detector 1 0 1 can be varied by the amount of liquid in the inter-segment inner container. The manner of variation is described in detail. In the embodiment, the plurality of detection liquids are respectively detected in the following manner. In one embodiment, the detector 1〇1 includes a weighing sensing (4) (1) and a second determining device 1G112, as shown in FIG. Show. The weighing sensor Km measures the weight of the liquid in the container, and the second determining device ι〇ιΐ2 determines the weight of the liquid in the container detected by the weighing detector 丨om, and determines the first predetermined time period in the inner container The amount of change in the liquid. For example, if the first predetermined time period is half an hour, if the weighing sensor 10111 first detects that the weight of the liquid in the container is 300 grams, the second time is half an hour later. When the weight of the liquid in the container was detected to be 200 g, the second determining means 1 〇 112 judged that the amount of liquid change in the inner container was 1 gram in half an hour. In another embodiment, the detector 1 〇 1 includes a pressure sensor i 〇丨 2 i and a third determining device 10122, as shown in FIG. The pressure sensor 10121 detects the pressure generated by the liquid in the container; the third determining means 1 〇 122 determines the amount of liquid change in the inner container for the first predetermined period of time based on the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 1 〇 121. For example, the first predetermined time period is half an hour. If the pressure sensor 10121 detects the liquid in the container for the first time, the pressure is 141902. The pressure of 201104228 is p〗 'The container is detected for the second time after half an hour. The pressure generated by the liquid is P2, and the third determining device ι〇122 determines that the amount of liquid change in the inner container is (Pl_P2)xS/g for half an hour, wherein 8 is the bottom area of the cup (at different heights of the grain) The wearing area is the same as the example), and g is the gravity constant. It should be noted that even if the cup has an irregular shape, the amount of water corresponding to the height of the cup is constant for a given cup. Therefore, the third determining device 10122 can still according to the height corresponding to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 10121. To determine the amount of change in the liquid. The pressure generated by the liquid is related to the height of the liquid surface. In the case of tilting the container, it is necessary to make a conversion of the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 1〇121 according to the inclination angle to accurately measure the change of the liquid. Quantities, this situation opens > Detector 1 〇1 can also include a tilt sensor i0 i23, as shown in Figure 4. It is used to measure the angle formed by the container from the horizontal or vertical direction and then to convert the measured pressure according to the angle '. As shown in FIG. 5, without loss of generality, the container is a cylindrical cup and the pressure sensor 10121 is installed at the center of the bottom of the cup as an example, and the cup 11 is provided; If the cup is inclined, set its angle to the horizontal plane to be α ', then the pressure height detected by the pressure sensor i 〇丨 21 is 11 < 1 = (1 ^ €: 05 (1) liquid Therefore, when the cup u is not tilted, the actual height of the liquid surface is h=hd/cosa. Therefore, the third determining device 10122 can judge the corresponding cup according to the inclination angle of the cup 11 and the pressure generated by the liquid when tilting. 11 The liquid level is not tilted, so that the amount of change of the liquid in the first predetermined period of time can be determined. It should be noted that the above container is a cylindrical cup, and the pressure sensor 141902.doc 201104228 10121 is installed at the bottom of the cup. The central example is an example of how to determine the amount of liquid change when the container is tilted. It is generally understood by those skilled in the art that 'even if the container is irregularly shaped, and the pressure sensor 1〇121 is installed at any position on the bottom of the container. For determining the shape of the container and determining the installation position of the pressure sensor 10 121, when the container is inclined at a certain angle, the third determining device 10122 can determine the height of the liquid surface according to the pressure detected by the pressure sensor 10121. Or the weight of the liquid, so as to determine the amount of liquid change in the first predetermined period of time. In the near-infrared light, for example, the center wavelength of the LED is 940 nm, after at least 40% after 5 cm of pure water. The energy will be absorbed. The tea, juice or coffee that is 5 cm away from the right side will be absorbed more. Therefore, it can use the characteristics of near-infrared light, which is absorbed by liquids that are especially drinkable. To detect the liquid level in the container, the following is a detailed description. In the example, the detector 1 〇1 includes a near-infrared source 1 〇 13 1 and a plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132 and The fourth determining device 1 〇 133 is as shown in Fig. 6. wherein 12 is the liquid surface position "near-infrared light source 丨〇丨3 丨 emits near-infrared light, and when there is no liquid in the container 11, the near-infrared light emitted by the same can Sensed by each 10132 receives. A plurality of near-infrared sensors 1〇132 are respectively located at different heights of the container 11 for detecting the intensity of the near-infrared light emitted by the near-infrared light source 1〇131. The fourth determining device 1〇133 is based on The intensity of the near-infrared light detected by the plurality of near-infrared sensors 1 013 2 determines the liquid level of the liquid in the container ii, thereby determining the amount of change of the liquid during the first predetermined period of time. 141902.doc 201104228 Specifically, if a near-infrared sensor i〇I32 is located below the liquid surface, the detected light intensity is very weak, and if it is located above the liquid surface, the detected light intensity is strong. Therefore, the fourth determining device 1〇133 can determine the relative position of the near-infrared sensor and the liquid surface according to the light intensity detected by a certain near-infrared sensor, that is, the fourth determining device 10133 can determine the detecting The measured near-infrared sensor 1〇132 of the second predetermined threshold is located above the liquid surface, and the detected near-infrared sensor 10132 is located below the third predetermined threshold. Below the face. If a portion of the plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132 is greater than a second predetermined threshold and a portion of the detected light is below a third predetermined threshold, the fourth determining device 10133 determines that the height between adjacent two near-infrared sensors whose light intensity is higher than the second predetermined threshold and whose light intensity is lower than the third predetermined threshold is the liquid level. Alternatively, the fourth determining means 1 133 may determine that any height between the adjacent two near-infrared sensors is a liquid level ', or may determine that the midpoint between them is the liquid level. If the light intensity measured by the plurality of near-infrared sensors 1 〇丨 3 2 is all higher than the second predetermined threshold, the position of the near-infrared sensor 1 〇 132 having the lowest height is determined or any of the following The height is the liquid level. If the light intensity measured by the plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132 is all lower than the third predetermined threshold, it is determined that the position of the highest-infrared near-infrared sensor 1〇132 or any height above is the liquid level . It should be noted that in this case, the accuracy of the measurement is related to the number of near-infrared sensors. If the number of near-infrared sensors is greater, the more accurate the results are. The plurality of near-infrared sensors 1〇132 may be located at a height difference of 141902.doc 201104228 on the side wall of the container u, or may be located at a position other than the height difference on the side wall of the container. Typically, a plurality of near-infrared sensing nu) 132 and a near-infrared light source iGm are respectively located on opposite sides of the container 11'b as shown in FIG. In the embodiment, the plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132 and the near-infrared light source 10131 are respectively located on the same side in the container 11, and on the opposite side, there is a reflector 10134 for: shooting near-infrared light source and setting The light is such that the plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132 can accumulate the near-infrared light emitted by the near-infrared light source 1 〇 131, as shown in FIG. The advantage of this embodiment is that the distance traveled by the near-infrared light is increased, that is, the difference between the signals received by the respective near-infrared sensors is increased, and it is more advantageous for the fourth determining means 1 133 to determine the liquid level. It is apparent that in FIG. 6, the near-infrared light received by the near-infrared sensor 10132 farther from the near-infrared light source 1 () 131 is closer to the near-infrared sensor than the near-infrared light source 10131. The intensity of the received near-infrared light is weak. In addition, due to the emission angle limitations of a single source, in some cases, some near-infrared sensors 1〇132 may not receive light from near-infrared sources. Therefore, in order to increase the receiving sensitivity of the near-infrared sensor 1 〇 132, the near-infrared light source 1 〇 131 in FIG. 6 may also employ a plurality of discrete illuminating elements, such as a plurality of near-infrared LED lights, the plurality of discrete illuminating lights. The components are in one-to-one correspondence with a plurality of near-infrared sensors 10132, each of which is at the same height as its corresponding near-infrared sensor 10132, as shown in FIG. In the case where there is no liquid in the container 11, for each of the light-emitting elements, the emission of the near-outside light 77 can be received by the corresponding near-infrared sensor 1 〇 132. Alternatively, In the detector 101 shown in FIG. 8, a plurality of light sources 14I902.doc 201104228 vertical elements can also be replaced by a single light source 10131 plus a light guiding device 10135, as shown in FIG. The light guiding device 10135 is configured to extract the near-infrared light emitted by the near-infrared light source 1 to enable the plurality of near-infrared sensors 1 0 13 2 to detect the near-infrared light emitted by the near-infrared light source. The light guiding device 1 〇 13 5 may be a light plate or an optical fiber 'which receives the near-infrared light emitted by the near-infrared light source 丨〇丨 3 1 ' and directs the light from the surface thereof to cause the light person to shoot to the neighborhood. The infrared sensor 1 〇 132, its optical path diagram is shown in Figure 9. Alternatively, the device i in FIG. 1 may also include an accelerometer ,4, as shown in FIG. The accelerometer is used to measure the acceleration of the container 1. If the accelerometer does not detect the acceleration of the container within the first predetermined time period, the device 103 sends a second prompt message. The second prompt information may be, for example, information that no acceleration is detected during the first preview period or the like. Fl. In the case that the barn 11 is a drinking cup, the second prompt information may be information such as "You already have L not drinking water", and the purpose of the second prompt information is to remind people that there has been a period of time. Did not drink water. As described above, the manner in which the prompting device 103 issues the second prompt information is also various and will not be described again here. In the above, when the detector 101 described above uses the weighing sensor 10111 or the near-infrared sensor 10131 to detect the amount of liquid change in the container u, if the container η is in a horizontal position or placed in a straight position When the detector 1〇1 is measured*! The fruit is more accurate. In order to obtain more accurate results, optionally, the accelerometer 104 can also be used to detect the first inclination angle of the container u with the horizontal direction or the second inclination angle with the straightening direction, only when the first inclination angle is greater than the fourth angle When the predetermined threshold or the second inclination is less than the fifth predetermined threshold, the detector 141902.doc -10·201104228 101 detects the amount of change of the liquid. That is, only when the container 1 is in a horizontal position or a quasi-horizontal position, that is, when placed vertically or quasi-vertically, at this time, the first inclination angle is about 90 degrees, and the second inclination angle is about twist. Left and right, the weighing sensor 10111 or the near-infrared sensor 10131 performs corresponding measurement. The values of the fourth predetermined threshold and the fifth predetermined threshold may be determined according to actual measurement accuracy. Specifically, how the accelerometer 1 〇 4 measures the tilt angle is a very mature technique in the art. Freescale's 2,5-year-old AN3 1 07 wafer application RevO, 05, discloses a root accelerometer to measure the tilt angle as shown in the following equation: Θ = arc sin

Figure 11 is a flow chart showing a method for managing the amount of liquid in a container in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. First, in step Si ιοί, the amount of change in the volume of the inner container in the first predetermined time period is measured. Specifically, the change of the liquid state θ ^ 戍 body can be determined by detecting the pressure of the liquid in the inner container of the first silent period or the pressure generated by the liquid or the liquid level of the liquid. In a consistent embodiment t, step S1101 can be performed by the detector 101 described above. I41902.doc 201104228 ', ': Then in step S11 02, it is determined whether the amount of change of the liquid is lower than the first pre-emption threshold. In the embodiment, 'T' is executed by the first-determining means 102 as described above, and step S1102 is executed. Finally, the amount of change in the right liquid is lower than the first predetermined threshold, and in step 103, the first prompt information is issued. Alternatively, in an embodiment, the step su〇3 may be performed by the prompting device 1〇3 described above. Alternatively, the method shown in FIG. 11 may also include the steps shown in FIG. First, in step S1201, the acceleration of the container is detected. If the acceleration of the container is not detected within the second predetermined time period, the second prompt information is issued in step S1202. When the liquid change amount in the container is detected in step S1101, if the grain is in the horizontal position, the result measured by the pressure sensor, the infrared sensor or the like is more accurate. In order to obtain more accurate results, optionally, the first inclination angle of the container with the horizontal direction or the second inclination angle formed by the vertical direction may be detected, only when the first inclination angle is greater than the fourth predetermined threshold or When the second inclination angle is less than the fifth predetermined threshold value, the change of the liquid is detected, that is, when only the grain detector is in the horizontal position or the quasi-horizontal position, at this time, the first inclination angle is about 90 degrees, and the second inclination angle is It is only about the degree of twist to detect the amount of change in the liquid. The values of the fourth predetermined threshold and the fifth predetermined threshold may be determined according to actual measurement accuracy. The various embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above. It should be noted that the 'first predetermined threshold to the fifth predetermined threshold can be selected according to the actual situation and can be set by the user. For example, device 1A may include an interactive component ' 141902.doc • 12· 201104228 value for receiving each predetermined threshold entered by the user. Similarly, the first predetermined time period and the second predetermined time period may also be set by the detector 101 itself or may be set by the user by means of interactive elements. The embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. For example, the device 100 can also include an accelerometer 104 when the detector 101 is of any of the configurations shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 4 and FIG. 6 to FIG. . In the case where the detector 101 includes the pressure sensing gain 10121, the third determining device i 〇 i 22 and the tilt sensor 10123 as shown in Fig. 4, the function of the tilt sensor 1〇123 may also be accelerated. Ten 104 are implemented in the above manner, that is, the accelerometer i 〇 4 and the tilt sensor 10123 can share the same hardware. In addition, in the structure shown in FIG. 6 to FIG. 9, the detector 101 can also include the reflector 1 134, the light guiding device 10135, and the like.
