Definitions

  • the system may further include a manual valve control disposed on an exterior of the dispenser and configured to control pouring from the beverage cartridge based on a manual user input.
  • the system may further include a memory within the dispenser, the memory storing beverage information for a number of beverages in a number of beverage cartridges, the beverage information including interactive content relating to the number of beverages for presentation on the display of the dispenser.
  • the system may further include a memory within the dispenser, the memory storing a history of beverage distribution from the dispenser for a number of beverage cartridges.
  • the processor may be configured to determine a current user of the dispenser during a pour. The current user may be determined based on a manual input in the user interface or a pattern of motion detected during a pour from the dispenser. A personalized purchase recommendation may be generated for the current user and presented on the display.
  • the system may further include a processor within the dispenser configured to receive information about the beverage from the data reader, and a network interface configured to couple the processor in a communicating relationship with a remote resource for at least one of monitoring fluid consumption from the beverage cartridge, recommending an additional beverage for purchase, and performing a transaction to purchase a new beverage.
  • a processor within the dispenser configured to receive information about the beverage from the data reader
  • a network interface configured to couple the processor in a communicating relationship with a remote resource for at least one of monitoring fluid consumption from the beverage cartridge, recommending an additional beverage for purchase, and performing a transaction to purchase a new beverage.
  • the remote resource 108 may include a beverage/dispenser management facility that controls, manages, monitors, or supports a plurality of dispensers 104 or cartridges 106.
  • the remote resource 108 may also or instead include a backend coupled to other remote resources for managing and augmenting operation of the dispenser 104. This may, for example, include transaction engines for purchasing beverages, payment processing platforms, beverage databases, recommendation engines for recommending additional beverages of potential interest, social networking platforms, and so forth.
  • the remote resource 108 may include or be in communication with one or more servers 122 or the like for providing additional functionality.
  • the remote resource 108 may include one or more of an online store, a website, a restaurant or place of business, an application, and so forth.
  • the cartridge and the dispenser 500 may be advantageously configured for an alignment-independent communications interface that can operate independently of the rotational alignment of a cartridge inside the dispenser 500.
  • the cartridge may also or instead be mechanically keyed to enforce a specific rotational alignment during insertion. Proper insertion of the cartridge into the dispenser 500 can be ensured through feedback, e.g., mechanical (a 'click' or the like) or otherwise.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un distributeur de boisson qui comprend un certain nombre d'éléments fournissant une fonctionnalité améliorée pour un utilisateur, par exemple, une fonctionnalité au-delà de ce qui pourrait se trouver dans des distributeurs de boisson classiques. À titre d'exemple, un distributeur de boisson amélioré peut lire des données relatives à un contenu, afficher des informations et des graphiques concernant le contenu sur un panneau d'affichage, commander et surveiller des fluides distribués, etc. Un distributeur de boisson instrumenté de cette manière peut également être connecté, par l'intermédiaire d'un réseau, à des ressources distantes de façon à augmenter des informations locales et fournir une expérience d'utilisateur riche et interactive.
