Definitions
- the invention pertains to the field of the beverage preparation machines, in particular using capsules containing an ingredient for preparing a beverage.
- the present invention relates in particular to coding supports adapted to store information related to a capsule, capsules associated with/or embedding coding supports, reading and processing arrangements for reading and using such information for preparing a beverage.
- a “beverage” is meant to include any human-consumable liquid substance, such as coffee, tea, hot or cold chocolate, milk, soup, baby food or the like.
- a “capsule” is meant to include any pre-portioned beverage ingredient or combination of ingredients (hereafter called “ingredient”) within an enclosing packaging of any suitable material such as plastic, aluminium, a recyclable and/or bio-degradable material and combinations thereof, including a soft pod or a rigid cartridge containing the ingredient.
- Certain beverage preparation machines use capsules containing an ingredient to be extracted or to be dissolved and/or an ingredient that is stored and dosed automatically in the machine or else is added at the time of preparation of the drink.
- Certain beverage preparation machines are arranged to prepare beverages by using a centrifugational extraction process.
- the principle mainly consists in providing beverage ingredient in a container of the capsule, feeding liquid in the receptacle and rotating the receptacle at elevated speed to ensure interaction of liquid with powder while creating a gradient of pressure of liquid in the receptacle; such pressure increasing gradually from the centre towards the periphery of the receptacle.
- Identifiying a capsule may be desirable, for instance, to control parameters in the beverage preparation device such as liquid or beverage flow rate, pressure, rotational speed, temperature and combinations thereof.
- EPO451980 relates to packages containing comestibles for the preparation of beverages.
- Recognition means can comprise one or more strips of a magnetic material applied to the body of the package which can be read by an appropriate magnetic sensor, one or more shaped or divided areas of metal foil applied to the package body which cause an inductive effect on movement of the package in the machine, which inductive effect can be sensed; or one or more electrically conductive areas formed on the body of the package which can be sensed electrically.
- WO02/28241 relates to an encoded coffee packet for use in the preparation of hot or cold beverages comprising a filter defining a cavity and a brewing ingredient within the cavity.
- the packet further comprises a machine-interpretable feature located on the filter such as a color, a shape, a glyph, a text string, a barcode or a digital watermark.
- WO02/078498 relates to a machine-readable identifier on a portion package which contains ground coffee for espresso machine.
- the identifier can be a concentric barcode which is read when the capsule turns around an axis which is placed outside of its perimeter such as when the capsule is stored in a carousel.
- WO2005044067 relates to a system for identifying a capsule having a code visible under UV light printed thereon or a magnetic code such as a ribbon or label.
- the code may be read by a turning magnetic reading head.
- such system is not adapted for detecting a capsule in a device using centrifugal forces for extracting the beverage.
- WO2009007292 relates to a method for reading barcodes in a drinks machine when the brewing chamber is being closed from an open position to a closed position.
- WO2010/026053 relates to a controlled beverage production device using centrifugal forces.
- the capsule may comprise a barcode provided on an outside face of the capsule and which enables a detection of the type of capsule and/or the nature of ingredients provided within the capsule in order to apply a predefined extraction profile for the beverage to be prepared.
- a problem with identifying a capsule in a beverage preparation machine is that the retrieving or reading information from the capsule is not always reliable or convenient. Moreover, the space available in the machine dedicated to the sensing device for reading this information may be quite limited, rendering the reading of a relatively high amount of data difficult.
- the present invention brings solutions to these problems.
- An object of the invention is to provide means for storing, reading and processing information related to a capsule, more particularly information for identifying said capsule within a production machine and for retrieving or reading information for adjusting working parameters of the machine and/or for controlling parameters for preparing a beverage with said capsule.
- Another object is to control optimal conditions for preparing a beverage.
- Another object is to provide a solution for reliably reading information related to a capsule with a sensor disposed in the machine, for example in the processing module/brewing unit of the machine, where available spaces are quite limited and in a harsh environment (ingredients traces, presence of vapors and liquids, . . . ).
- the invention relates to a support adapted to be associated with, or part of, a capsule for the preparation of a beverage.
- the support comprises a section on which at least one sequence of symbols is represented so as that each symbol is sequentially readable, by a reading arrangement of an external device, while the capsule is driven in rotation along an axis of rotation, each sequence coding a set of information related to the capsule.
- the external device may be embedded into the processing module/brewing unit of the machine.
- each symbol can be read separately, or depending on the capacities of the reading arrangement, a plurality of symbols can be read at time, for example 3 symbols at time for a sequence comprising 36 symbols.
- at least one reading of all the symbols included in all the sequences in the support can be performed by the reading arrangement after a 360 degrees rotation of the capsule around its axis of rotation.
- the support can be a part of the capsule itself.
- the support may be spread along the circumference or a part of the circumference of the capsule.
- the support can be further located close to the peripheral edge of the capsule, the peripheral edge being defined as the outermost circular line of the capsule.
- the support can be part of, or be formed directly on, the body of the capsule.
- the support can also be disposed on the bottom side of the rim of the capsule.
- the distance of the support from the peripheral edge is not more than 10 mm, more preferably not more than 8 mm.
- the support can be made of a paint and/or a lacquer and/or an embossed ply of material of the capsule itself.
- the support can be a separate part adapted to be coupled in rotation with a capsule.
- the support can be a ring having a circumferential part on which the at least one sequence of symbols is represented, so as the user can positioned said ring on the circumference of the capsule before introducing it into the brewing unit of the beverage machine. Consequently, a capsule without embedded means for storing information can be modified by mounting such a support so as to add such information.
- the support can be positioned so as the section containing the sequence of symbols is spread along the circumference or a part of the circumference of the body of the capsule, or on the bottom side of the rim of the capsule.
- the support may be simply disposed relatively to the capsule without additional fixing means, the user ensuring that the support is correctly positioned when entering the brewing unit, or the forms and the dimensions of the support preventing it from moving relatively to the capsule once mounted.
- the support may comprise fixing means, like glue or mechanical means, to help the support staying fixed relatively to the capsule once mounted.
- the set of information of at least one of the sequences may comprise information for recognizing a type associated to the capsule, and/or one or a combination of items of the following list:
- Each set of information of at least one of the sequences may comprise redundant information. Hence, error-checking may be performed by comparison. It also improves by the way the probability of a successful reading of the sequence, should some parts of the sequence be unreadable.
- the set of information of at least one of the sequences may also comprises information for detecting errors, and/or for correcting errors in said set of information.
- Information for detecting errors may comprise repetition codes, parity bits, checksums, cyclic redundancy checks, cryptographic hash function data, etc.
- Information for correcting errors may comprise error-correcting codes, forward error correction codes, and in particular, convolutional codes or block codes.
- each sequence may represent an integer number of bits.
- Each symbol may encode one or several binary bits.
- the data may also be represented by transitions between symbols.
- the symbols may be arranged in the sequence using a modulation scheme, for example a line coding like a Manchester coding.
- Each symbol may be represented in the section by an entity having a measurable characteristic, readable by the measuring arrangement, the measurable characteristic varying according to the value conveyed by said symbol.
- Each symbol may be printed and/or embossed.
- the shape of the symbols may be chosen amongst the following non-exhaustive list: arch-shaped segments, segments which are individually rectilinear but extend along at least a part of the section, dots, polygons, geometric shapes.
- the symbols may be readable by an optical sensor included in the reading arrangement, the color and/or the shape of each symbol being chosen according to the value of said symbol.
- the symbols may be printed by an ink which is not visible by human eyes under natural light e.g., ink visible under UV.
- the symbols may be printed or embossed by a pattern which possesses surfaces having different reflective and/or absorbing properties to light.
- the pattern may possesses first surfaces having inclined mirroring or absorbing properties to light and second surfaces having flat mirroring or flat reflective properties to light.
- Other variable physical characteristics may be chosen to distinguish each symbol, for example the color, the reflectivity, the opacity, the light absorption level, the magnetic field, the induced magnetic field, the resistivity, the capacity, etc.
- the sequence can be composed with four different symbols coding respectively one of the four set of data ‘00’, ‘01’, ‘10’, ‘11’, each symbol having the shape of a dot or a square, and a black color or a 25% gray color.
- a black dot may code ‘00’, a gray dot ‘01’, a black square ‘10’, a gray square to ‘11’.
- each sequence of symbols has a same fixed length, and more particularly has a fixed number of symbols.
- the structure of the sequence being known, it may ease the recognition of each sequence by the reading arrangement.
- At least one preamble symbol is represented in the section, so as to allow the determination of a start and/or a stop position in the section of each sequence.
- the preamble symbol is chosen to be identified separately from the other symbols. It may have a different shape and/or physical characteristics compared with the other symbols. Two adjacent sequences may have a common preamble symbol, representing the stop of one sequence and the start of the other one.
- At least one of the sequences comprises symbols defining a preamble sequence, so as to allow the determination of a position of the symbols in said sequence coding the set of information related to the capsule.
- the symbols defining a preamble may code a known reserved sequence of bits, for example ‘10101010’.
- the preamble symbols and/or the preamble sequences comprise information for authentifying the set of information, for example a hash code or a cryptographic signature.
- the reading arrangement may be configured to read sequentially the symbols, i.e. to read a limited subset of symbols separately, the entire sequence of symbols being readable by the reading arrangement with the complete rotation of the capsule.
- the reading arrangement may be configured to read one symbol at time, the symbols being spread along at least a eighth, preferably at least a quarter of the circumference of the capsule or even more.
- This configuration allows improving the reliability of the readings since reading one symbol at time are easier, more reliable and generates less reading errors than readings the whole sequence at time.
- the symbols being placed on a capsule along an arc-shaped line, the reading by a sweep beam may be not appropriate, considering the limited available space in the extraction chamber, the large area to read and the expected reliability.
- the rotation of the capsule allows reading each symbol sequentially, without having to displace the sensor or its reading area.
- the invention relates to a capsule for the preparation of a beverage comprising a container and a beverage ingredient contained therein, wherein the container comprises at least one support according to the first aspect.
- the capsule may have a circumference, wherein the section is arranged on the container along an arc-shaped or circular path of the circumference. Each sequence may be arranged along at least a eighth of the circumference.
- the container comprises for example a body and a lid connected to the body and wherein the section of the support is present on the lid of the container.
- the section of the support may be present on the rim of the capsule, in particular, on the bottom of the rim of the capsule which is opposed to the lid or foil of the capsule.
- the invention relates to a system for preparing a beverage from a capsule according to the second aspect or a combination of a capsule and a support according to the first aspect, and further comprising a beverage preparation device.
- the device comprises capsule holding means for holding the capsule and rotational drive means for driving the holding means and capsule in rotation along said axis of rotation and reading means arranged for reading the sequences of symbols in the section when the capsule is rotated along said axis.
- the reading means may comprise a light emitter and a light sensor or an inductive sensor.
- the optical reading means or inductive sensor may be arranged to read the sequences on the rim of the capsule.
- the invention relates to a method for preparing a beverage from a system according to the third aspect, wherein the beverage is extracted from the capsule by rotating the capsule along said axis.
- the sequences may be read at a first rotational speed and the beverage may be extracted from the capsule at a second rotational speed.

- the sequence is repeated three to six times on the circumference. Repetition of the sequence means that the same sequence is duplicated and the successive sequences are positioned in series along the circumference so that upon a 360-degree rotation of the capsule, the same sequence can be detected or read more than one time.
- a light beam is projected onto the capsule's lid, e.g., membrane or foil 60 , as illustrated on FIG. 3 .
- a plurality of symbols forming the sequences 61 is applied along a circular or arc-shaped path.
- the support is placed or formed on a flat portion of the lid and close to the peripheral edge of the capsule.
- the support is preferably placed the lid that is supported by the flange-like rim of the capsule or overlaps with the rim. Hence, the support is not distorted due to mechanical constraints and the sequences can be read more reliably.
- the values “0” and “1” are arbitrary chosen and can be inversed.
- the sequence is read by rotating the capsule along a central axis A ( FIG. 1 ).
- the reader or sensor 62 is part of the centrifugal unit 2 and consists of
- the light can be:
- the support can be formed on the capsule by:
- the symbols may also be represented by different color patterns combined with a color reading device.
- the combination of different colors and reading at a specific rotational speed results in a well defined “mixed color”.
- a capsule with half the circumference in blue and the other half in yellow would result in reading a green color during rotation.
- one third in blue and the remaining part in yellow will give another color.
- the light could by a simple light source without specific convergence means.
- the light beam 63 touches another symbol represented by a diffuse reflecting surface (surface between the small rectangles) and is partially reflected to the sensor.
- a reflective beam 66 is received by the sensor whereas other beams 67 , 68 are diffused or reflected outside the sensor.
- the capsule 7 may comprise a support mounted having at least one sequence 70 , and mounted on the bottom side 72 of the rim 73 of the capsule.
- the symbols are represented by small rectangular surfaces having light mirroring properties and intermediate surfaces having flat mirroring and/or diffusing properties. The surfaces are arranged in a circular pattern or at least along an angular portion of the rim.
- a light beam 74 is projected to the capsule's rim 73 .
- the sequence is read by rotating the capsule along its central axis A.
- the reader may consist of
- the code can be applied on the capsule by:
- the light source is placed at the bottom of the centrifugal cell 3 .
- This cell is light conductive allowing the beam to reach the bottom side 72 of its rim 73 .
- the reflected light is conducted by the transparent (or light conductive) centrifugal cell 3 to reach the sensor 62 .
- a mirror can be placed as illustrated in the FIG. 5 to deflect the forward and backward beams.
- the light beam 74 from the light source “L” touches the mirror surface of the symbol 81 and is reflected into a reflective beam 76 to the sensor “S” with high intensity. A bit such as “0” or “1” is thereby provided to the control unit.
- the light beam 74 from the light source “L” touches diffusing or absorbing surfaces (symbol 82 ).
- the light beam 77 that reaches the sensor is of small intensity.
- Other beams such as beam 78 are diffused outside the sensor S due to the diffusing properties of the surface.
- a bit such as “1” or “0” is provided to the control unit.
- the number of symbols depends on the number and specific arrangement of mirror surfaces (e.g. rectangles) and diffusing or absorbing surfaces (e.g., zones between the rectangles).
- the sequence can be repeated several times on the circumference of the rim. This repetition provides redundancy and more reliability to the reading.
- the symbols are represented by different color patterns combined with a color reading device.
- the combination of different colors and reading at a specific rotational speed results in a well defined “mixed color”.
- a capsule with half the “dots” in blue and the other half in yellow would result in reading a green color during rotation.
- the support can be directly formed by different methods onto a capsule such as by:
- the support can also be a separate part adapted to be mounted/coupled in rotation with a capsule.
- the support can be positioned onto said ring on the circumference of the capsule before introducing it into the brewing unit of the beverage machine.
- the support may be simply disposed relatively to the capsule without additional fixing means, the user ensuring that the support are correctly positioned when entering the brewing unit, or the forms and the dimensions of the support preventing it from moving relatively to the capsule once mounted.
- the support may also be mounted using fixing means, like glue or mechanical means, to help the support staying fixed relatively to the capsule once mounted.
- the symbols provided on a metallic surface of the support are sensed using an inductive sensor.
- the symbols are formed by reliefs or recesses in the metallic surface.
- the support comprises a circumferential metal rim which comprises a succession of discrete slots and/or bumps. When the capsule is rotated about its central axis, the rim is moved relative to the sensor such that the slots and/or bumps are detected.
- the sequence can be read on a time base of a CPU of the beverage preparation device. The maximum rotational speed to read the sequence depends on the used sensor and the internal CPU of the device.
- the speed for reading can, for instance, be comprised between 0.1 and 1000 rpm.
- liquid can already fed in the capsule for providing a pre-wetting of the beverage ingredients.
