Abstract

When a smart tag with a temperature sensing function is attached to the top of the coffee base or inside the paper cup holder, and a mug containing coffee is placed on the base or coffee is put in a paper cup, the smart tag transmits the smart tag data to the smartphone.
Data communication is done through Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.
This is a method that informs you when to drink coffee by setting a good texture temperature for drinking coffee in the received smartphone app.
There are two types of identification codes, user identification code and seller identification code.
The user identification code recognizes the drinker's smartphone, and the seller identification code recognizes the coffee maker, coffee franchise, and coffee store, allowing the use of the app only for the product of a specific seller, thereby helping promotional activities.

Description

Smart coffee time notification system

When drinking coffee, there is a temperature that feels good.

They have their own texture with good temperature.

There are two methods: cooling the warmed food during the cooking process to bring it to a good texture, and heating the cooled food to a good texture.

The present invention proposes a method of adjusting a coffee that has been heated to a temperature that has a good texture when heated or that has been cooled during a cooking process to a temperature that has a good texture.

If you are enjoying a cup of coffee, I would like to drink it at a good texture. There is a device that adjusts the coffee to a certain temperature when it is heated, but there is no way to drink coffee made at a high temperature to a good texture. It was just a way to cool it down and eat it.

And coffee apps on the market tend to focus only on sales that mainly search for or order coffee soaps, and there is no app that suits the taste of customers.

The point is that it is necessary to drink coffee with a good texture and avoid drinking coffee made at a high temperature by cooling the public.

Registration number 1012751470000 User-customized temperature/humidity control device and method based on the desired thermal comfort index.

When you go to a coffee shop, you serve coffee in paper cups or mugs.

The coffee temperature in the paper cup and the coffee temperature in the mug are the same.

Among those who drink coffee, paper cups are hot, but fortunately, there is a paper cup holder, so it's okay to hold the mug as it is.

This is because the thermal conductivity of the container containing the coffee is different.

Coffee has a good texture temperature of about 72℃.

It can be different for each person.

So, the actual coffee temperature in the container and the coffee temperature that is different for each person's taste must be set and informed.

And the need to inform only the drinkers of coffee drinking was raised.

In addition, think about what applies only to the seller's product.

The container for coffee is usually a paper cup or mug.

Most of the time when you drink coffee, you have to use the stand.

For takeout, of course, paper cup holders are provided.

Attach a smart tag with a temperature sensing function on the top of the stand or inside the paper cup holder.

Smart tags and smartphones have A/D and D/A conversion functions.

Data communication is done through Bluetooth, WiFi, etc.

Since temperature sensing data should be sent only to beverages who drink coffee, there must be an identification code on the smartphone of the drinker.

The smart tag data contains the drinker's smartphone number or other identification code. If there is a drinker's smartphone number in the smart tag data, only the drinker can use the app, but it is difficult to use a stand or cup holder with an unspecified number of smart tags attached to it.

As an example of the present invention, if the identification code is printed next to the smart tag and the identification code is input and used in the app, an unspecified number of supports or cup holders can be used. Here, the identification code is referred to as a user identification code. In addition, when a coffee maker wants to use a stand or cup holder with an app and a smart tag attached to it for promotional purposes, the coffee maker's identification code is inserted into the app and smart tag as an identification code to limit the use of the app to people who drink coffee from other makers. .

Alternatively, the coffee franchise company may also insert the franchise company identification code as described above to restrict the use of the app to people who drink coffee from other franchise companies.

This also has anti-theft effect.

Alternatively, you can insert a store identification code and allow the app to be used only for coffee sold only at that store.

At this time, the identification code is referred to as a seller identification code.

A smart tag with a temperature sensing function is attached to the top of the base where the mug or paper cup touches, or inside the paper cup holder, and the mug with coffee is placed on the top of the base, or when coffee is put in a paper cup, the temperature sensing data sent by the smart tag is recorded. It is received on the smartphone and stored in the app.

Based on the temperature measurement data, the actual temperature data and the temperature setting data set by the drinker are compared, and if they are the same, the coffee time message is notified by text or voice or by an alarm.

1. Let the drinkers know the temperature that is good for the texture, so that they can enjoy the best taste comfortably.

2 Coffee makers, coffee franchises, or coffee shops enjoy significant promotional effects by letting drinkers enjoy the best taste.

3 There is an effect of preventing theft of the coffee base.

4 Contribute to increase sales for promotional purposes.

S10 is a smart tag data storage step.

When a coffee mug is placed on the upper part of the stand with the smart tag attached or the coffee is put in a paper cup with a smart tag attached inside the paper cup holder, the smart tag transmits the tag user identification code and temperature sensing data to the smartphone. This is smart tag data.

The smartphone that receives this is stored in the smart tag data table in the app.

In addition to the tag user identification code and temperature sensing data, the smart tag data further includes a coffee maker identification code, a coffee franchise company identification code, and a coffee shop identification code.

S20 is the identification code classification step

The identification code includes a user identification code and a seller identification code.

The user identification code is a code that identifies the coffee drinker's smartphone.

The seller identification code is a code that identifies a coffee maker, coffee franchise company, or coffee shop.

The first method is when only the user identification code is used in the present invention.

Smart tag data has a tag user identification code and temperature sensing data.

The data in the user identification code table in the smartphone app is the user identification code.

The user identification code is a smartphone number, a specific number, or a combination of alphabets and numbers.

In step S10, the tag user identification code of the smart tag data table and the user identification code of the user identification code table are compared (S220).

If the values are the same, go to step S30

If the values are different, after comparing a certain number of times, a message indicating that the user identification code is not correct is notified to the smartphone and the app is terminated (S230).

In the second method, in the first method, a specific person is designated to use the app, and a different method is required for an unspecified number of people to use the present invention.

Write or print the tag user identification code next to the attached smart tag.

When you run the app, an input window for entering the user identification code appears.

Enter the tag user identification code in the input window (S210)

The input of the tag user identification code is stored in the smart tag data table in the app.

In step S10, the tag user identification code of the smart tag data table and the user identification code of the user identification code table are compared.

If the values are the same, go to step S30.

If the value is different, after comparing more than a certain number of times, informs the smartphone that the user identification code is not correct and closes the app.

The third method is when the first or second method is implemented and the coffee maker, coffee franchise company, or coffee shop is classified.

In step S10, the data of the smart tag data table further includes a coffee maker identification code, a coffee franchise company identification code, and a coffee shop identification code.

The data of the seller identification code table in the app are the coffee maker identification code, the coffee franchise company identification code, and the coffee shop identification code.

Seller identification code is a company name or a specific number, or a combination of alphabets and numbers

In step S10, the data in the smart tag data table are coffee maker identification code, coffee franchise company identification code, and coffee shop identification code.

The data of the seller identification code table in the app are the coffee maker identification code, the coffee franchise company identification code, and the coffee shop identification code.

To distinguish coffee makers, compare the coffee maker identification code in the smart tag data table with the coffee maker identification code in the seller identification code table in the app. If the values are the same, go to step S30

To identify the coffee franchise company, compare the coffee franchise company identification code in the smart tag data table with the coffee franchise company identification code in the seller identification code table in the app. If the values are the same, go to step S30

To distinguish coffee shops, compare the coffee shop identification code in the smart tag data table with the coffee shop identification code in the seller identification code table in the app. If the values are the same, go to step S30.

However, if the value is different, after comparing two or three times, if the value is still different, a message indicating that the coffee maker identification code, the coffee franchise company identification code, or the coffee shop identification code is not correct is notified to the smartphone, and the app is terminated (S250).

When leaving a message, if possible, indicate the manufacturer's name, franchise name, and store. This is to maximize the promotional effect.

S30 is the step of setting temperature data with good texture.

To set the temperature, create a good texture temperature setting data table in the app and enter the good texture temperature (S300), or manually select and enter the temperature that suits your taste from the temperature setting menu (S310)

Automatic input is 72℃.

Manual input is 90℃~-10℃, and the number is listed so the drinker selects the number.

If you like iced coffee, list the numbers marked below zero and the drinker chooses a number.

In the case of iced coffee, put ice in a cup or cup so that the drinker can set the temperature that suits their taste, or enter it in the temperature setting data table in advance.

Then, the temperature setting data table value in the app is stored at 72°C when running automatically, and the temperature selected by the drinker when manually entered. There are also many types of coffee. In the temperature setting menu, a representative example is the name of the coffee and the temperature with good texture.

S40 is the thermal conductivity setting step.

Mugs and paper cups have different thermal conductivity.

Suppose the thermal conductivity of the paper cup is "0.99" and the thermal conductivity of the mug is "0.7"

When the thermal conductivity is "1", it means that the temperature of the coffee or the temperature felt outside the container is the same.

Create a thermal conductivity data table in the app

When running the app automatically, in the case of a paper cup, the thermal conductivity data table value is "0.99" (S400), and when manually entered, the mug is "0.7".

In the case of other containers, the container name and thermal conductivity are displayed at the same time, and the drinker selects and enters the thermal conductivity menu (S410).

The app runs as soon as it is entered.

S50 is the step of calculating and storing actual temperature data.

In step S10, the smart tag data includes temperature sensing data, which is continuously stored according to a given time interval in the smart tag data table in the app. Data is overwritten. The smart tag transmits data every 0.1 seconds or less, or at an interval of more than that.

The temperature sensing data, which is the smart tag data table value, is divided by the thermal conductivity data table value representing the thermal conductivity in step S30 to calculate the actual temperature data and stores it in the actual temperature data table (S500).

For example, if the temperature sensing data is "90℃" and is contained in a paper cup with a thermal conductivity of 0.99, the actual coffee temperature is 90℃÷0.99=90.9℃, and two decimal places are ignored.

Similarly, in the case of a mug with a temperature sensing data of 60℃ and a thermal conductivity of 0.7, the actual temperature of coffee is 60℃÷0.7=85.7℃, and the two decimal places or less are ignored.

Step S60 is a step of comparing the temperature setting data and the actual temperature data.

The temperature setting data, which is the temperature setting data table value, and the actual temperature data, which is the actual temperature data table value, are compared (S600).

When comparing the data, the actual temperature data is compared in consideration of the allowable range of the temperature setting data.

It does not require ultra-precision, so it has an acceptable range

That is, if the temperature setting data is 72 degrees Celsius, it is difficult to set the actual temperature data to 72 degrees Celsius.

So, if the actual temperature data is between 71.5 degrees Celsius and 72.5 degrees Celsius, the comparison value is regarded as the same and processed.

Or set the comparison value to 72 degrees Celsius and compare

If the comparison value is the same, go to step S70.

If the comparison value is different, if the actual temperature data is greater than the temperature setting data, go to step S50, read the actual temperature data table value, and compare again (S610).

If the temperature setting data is larger than the actual temperature data, a message saying "Please warm up again" is notified by text or voice from the smartphone (S620).

Store the phrase "It's coffee time" in the coffee time reminder table in the app.
Step S70 is a coffee time notification step.

In step S60, if the temperature setting data and the actual temperature data are the same, a message that it is coffee time is notified to the smartphone by text or voice or by an alarm (S700).

The present invention is applied not only to coffee, but also to alcoholic beverages, medicines, water, soups, foods, etc.
