Description

Smart coffee cup device

The present invention relates to a coffee cup device, in particular, to a coffee cup device that can intelligently identify the type of coffee and its properties.

In recent years, Taiwan's coffee market has expanded at an annual growth rate of about 20%. At present, each person drinks an average of about 131 cups of coffee every year. Because Taiwanese love coffee, the annual output value of domestic coffee beans can reach 2 billion yuan. Because of the amazing business opportunities of coffee, there is now the title of "black gold".

In the process of drinking coffee, consumers usually taste bitterness and slightly sour taste. Generally speaking, such bitterness and sourness depend on the type of coffee and the degree of roasting. It is generally known that the higher the degree of roasting , the greater the proportion of bitterness, and the lower the degree of roasting, the greater the proportion of sourness, but for ordinary consumers, when tasting coffee, they can only roughly taste the amount of bitterness or sourness, and It is impossible to state specifically what bitterness or acidity this coffee actually has. For more experienced tasters, they can guess what kind of coffee this coffee belongs to based on the bitterness and sour taste they taste. The device can assist consumers to identify coffee, which will help to promote coffee and help consumers identify.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a block diagram of the smart coffee cup device of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the smart coffee cup device 100 of the present invention includes a coffee cup module 10, an odor detection module 30, a processing module 40 and a display module 50, wherein the odor detection module 30 can be In an electronic nose capable of accurately identifying smells, the display module 50 can be an LED liquid crystal screen, the processing module 40 can be a microprocessor, and the processing module 40 is electrically connected to the smell detection module 30 and the display Module 50.

In this embodiment, the coffee cup module 10 includes a cup body 11 and a handle 12, wherein the cup body 11 is used to hold a coffee A, and the handle 12 can be a detachable handle, and the handle 12 can contain A storage space for additives, such as sugar, creamer, cinnamon powder, etc., for users to add at any time. Preferably, the material of the coffee cup module 10 can be a ceramic, so as to increase the number of users One of the drinking vibes when drinking coffee A.

The smell detection module 30 can be placed on the edge of the cup body 11, and is used to read and generate an aroma value 31 and a sourness value 32 of the coffee A. In this embodiment, the smell detection module 30 is a Taking the electronic nose as an example, the electronic nose reproduces the perception ability of human senses through electronic sensing technologies such as sensors and mode discrimination, and can accurately interpret the aroma and acidity of the coffee A.

The processing module 40 can receive the aroma value 31 and the acidity value 32, identify the type of coffee A according to the information, and then generate a coffee information 41 of the coffee A, wherein the coffee information 41 can include the type of the coffee A Name, place of origin, etc., wherein the identification method of the processing module 40 can be achieved by the type information of the specific coffee built in the processing module 40, and the aroma value and acidity value of each specific coffee has its own range, and when Processing module 40 to be identified When the type of coffee A is different, it is only necessary to compare the aroma value 31 and the acidity value 32 with the built-in information.

Next, the processing module 40 can control the display module 50 to display the aroma value 31, the acidity value 32 and the coffee information 41.
