example 1

[0057] In this example, a single equipped container is used in combination with an RFID-enabled smartphone allowing the user to input user-defined parameters, the container having an RFID tag that includes read / write memory to store the user-defined parameters. A corresponding dispensing machine is also used, which has an RFID interface in order to read the user-defined parameters stored in the RFID tags of the containers. The dispensing machine is configured to dispense a beverage according to user-defined parameters stored in the container. In this example, the dispensing machine has for example a teacup detection device and is fully automatic without having to have a specific user interface for inputting user defined parameters. After placing the teacup and inserting the container programmed with user-defined parameters, the dispensing automatically starts preparing the beverage without any interaction between the user and the dispensing machine.

example 2

[0060] In this example, a single equipped container is used in combination with a programming device having a contactless chip including a read / write memory for storing user-defined parameters, the programming device having means for identifying the user or Means for storing user preferences. User preferences are entered by the user and stored in a preliminary configuration step. After the preliminary configuration, the user programs each container according to the invention by placing each container near the programming device. A corresponding dispensing machine is also used, which has a reader for reading the user-defined parameters stored in the contactless chip of the container. The dispensing machine is configured to dispense a beverage according to user-defined parameters stored in the container.

example 3

[0062] In this example, a single equipped container with read / write memory for storing user-defined parameters is used. A dedicated programming interface is used in order to allow the user to input user-defined parameters, such as recipe selections to use, and to use other ingredients (eg milk, sugar, aroma ingredients... that the machine can deliver). The programming step is performed by placing the storage means 56 of the container in contact with a dedicated surface of the programming device. The compounding machine is configured to read user-defined parameters, and to display and set said parameters by default on the machine's user interface. The user can then use said parameters to trigger the preparation process, or modify his selection using the machine interface.

Abstract

The present invention relates to the field of beverage preparation machines, and more particularly to a container suitable for providing a beverage in a beverage production device, said container comprising: storage means having a a storage space for preference-related information; a first communication interface configured to: write in the storage space the information related to the preference of the user received on the first communication interface; and allowing reading of the information stored in the storage space.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of beverage preparation machines, in particular for the preparation of beverages using containers containing ingredients, for example beverage preparation machines having a brewing cavity which can be opened and closed for insertion of the container into and / or from the cavity Remove used containers. More specifically, the present invention relates to user-programmable containers, devices for programming said containers, and beverage preparation machines for preparing beverages using user-programmable containers, thereby providing a convenient and adaptable solution to The user prefers automatic beverage preparation. [0002] For the purposes of this description, "beverage" is intended to include any liquid substance that is drinkable by humans, such as coffee, tea, hot or cold chocolate, milk, soup, baby food, etc. "Container" is intended to include any pre-filled beverage ingredient or combination of ingredi...
