CONSUMABLE AUTOMATIC DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES PROPER USE OF CONSUMABLE AUTOMATIC DELIVERY SERVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18623908 titled 'CONSUMABLE AUTOMATIC DELIVERY SYSTEM THAT ENABLES PROPER USE OF CONSUMABLE AUTOMATIC DELIVERY SERVICE, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

The abstract describes a consumable automatic delivery system that includes a device requiring replacement of consumables and a subscription management server for automatic order processing.

  • The system allows for automatic delivery of consumables upon receipt of an order trigger from a resource server managing the device.
  • A user interface unit is included to change settings of a region, while a delivery setting unit can activate or deactivate automatic delivery of consumables.
  • A switching unit can switch the delivery setting from activated to deactivated states based on user interface changes.

Potential Applications: - This technology can be applied in various industries such as healthcare, home appliances, and office supplies where automatic delivery of consumables is needed. - It can streamline the process of ordering and receiving consumables, saving time and effort for users.

Problems Solved: - Eliminates the need for manual ordering of consumables, reducing the risk of running out of essential supplies. - Ensures a continuous supply of consumables without the user having to constantly monitor and reorder them.

Benefits: - Improved convenience and efficiency in managing consumables. - Cost savings by optimizing the ordering process and reducing the chances of stock shortages.

Commercial Applications: Automatic delivery systems like this can be marketed to businesses and consumers looking to automate their supply chain management processes. This technology can be particularly useful for subscription-based services and industries with high consumable turnover rates.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system ensure the security and accuracy of automatic orders? 2. What measures are in place to prevent errors or delays in the delivery of consumables?

Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in automatic delivery systems, subscription management software, and user interface technologies to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of this system.


Original Abstract Submitted

A consumable automatic delivery system including a device that requires replacement of consumables and a subscription management server that executes automatic order processing for a consumable upon receipt of an order trigger from a resource server that manages the device, in which a consumable ordered by executing the automatic order processing is delivered to a user, the system includes a user interface unit that changes a setting of a region, a delivery setting unit that sets automatic delivery of consumables to an activated state or a deactivated state, and a switching unit that switches, in a case where the setting of the region is changed by the user interface to a state in which automatic delivery of consumables has been set to the activated state by the delivery setting unit, the activated state to the deactivated state.
