• the detected information, calculated information, or statistical information also may be sent from a first external computer element such as the application software to, for example, a second external computer element such as a second application software.
• the detected information may be the volume of liquid in a retainer measured at a number of time points.
• the calculated information may be the amount of liquid that a user presumably consumed based on the detected volume measurements.
• the statistical information may be a comparison of the liquid consumed over a time period vs. a recommendation or goal for consumption of liquids or that liquid (e.g., water consumed vs. doctor recommended water intake or water consumption goal).
• Detected information also may be illustrated as a representation in the display element via the user interface (the user interface is possibly part of an application software).
• the representation illustrates the current status (e.g., the most recently detected information), which is updated generally in real-time or as close to real-time as p
