CODE AND CONTAINER OF SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE OR FOODSTUFF - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240025633 titled 'CODE AND CONTAINER OF SYSTEM FOR PREPARING A BEVERAGE OR FOODSTUFF
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a container for a beverage or food preparation machine that contains a code encoding preparation information. The code consists of a reference portion and a data portion. The reference portion includes reference units that define a reference line, while the data portion includes a data unit arranged on an encoding line that intersects the reference line. The data unit is positioned a variable distance from the intersection to encode a parameter of the preparation information. The encoding line is circular and arranged tangentially orthogonal to the reference line at the intersection point. The reference units are configured to define a reference point from which the reference line extends.
- The container for a beverage or food preparation machine includes a code that encodes preparation information.
- The code consists of a reference portion and a data portion.
- The reference portion includes reference units that define a reference line.
- The data portion includes a data unit arranged on an encoding line that intersects the reference line.
- The data unit is positioned a variable distance from the intersection to encode a parameter of the preparation information.
- The encoding line is circular and arranged tangentially orthogonal to the reference line at the intersection point.
- The reference units are configured to define a reference point from which the reference line extends.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Beverage or food preparation machines that can read and interpret the code on the container.
- Automated preparation systems that use the encoded preparation information to adjust settings and parameters.
- Improved traceability and quality control in the food and beverage industry.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Ensures accurate and consistent preparation of beverages or foodstuff by encoding preparation information directly on the container.
- Reduces the need for manual input or adjustment of preparation settings, minimizing human error.
- Enhances efficiency and automation in food and beverage preparation processes.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved convenience and ease of use for consumers, as preparation settings can be automatically adjusted based on the encoded information.
- Enhanced accuracy and consistency in preparation, leading to better quality products.
- Increased efficiency and productivity in food and beverage preparation processes.
- Improved traceability and quality control, as preparation information is directly encoded on the container.
Original Abstract Submitted
a container for a beverage or foodstuff preparation machine, the container for containing beverage or foodstuff material and comprising a code encoding preparation information, the code comprising a reference portion and a data portion: the reference portion comprising reference units defining a reference line r; the data portion comprising a data unit, wherein said data unit is arranged on an encoding line d that intersects the reference line r, the data unit is arranged a distance d from said intersection as a variable to at least partially encode a parameter of the preparation information, whereby said encoding line d is circular and is arranged with a tangent thereto orthogonal the reference line r at said intersection point, wherein the reference units are arranged with a configuration defining a reference point from which the reference line r extends.
