Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of such codes is their limited coding density, i.e. the limited amount of preparation information they can encode
Another disadvantage is that the code is very visible and may be considered unsightly

no. 1 approach

[0044] The first implementation, exemplified in figure 1 , where a preparation machine 4 is generally used for food preparation and is operable to prepare preparation material supplied in a container 6, which is a container for consumption by an end user therefrom, incorporated herein by reference Examples of suitable preparation machines are provided in PCT / EP13 / 072692 of ;

no. 2 approach

[0045] A second embodiment wherein the preparation machine 4 is typically used for food preparation and is operable to dispense preparation material supplied in containers 6 (such as sachets or capsules) into alternate containers for consumption by the end user, wherein the food is in Prepared in said container, examples of suitable preparation machines are disclosed in PCT / EP13 / 072692 and EP 14167344A, incorporated herein by reference;

no. 3 approach

[0046]A third embodiment, wherein the preparation machine 4 is generally used for beverage preparation and is operable to extract one or more ingredients of the preparation material in a disposable container 6 (such as a sachet or capsule) and distribute said ingredients to the final beverage. Examples of suitable preparation machines 4 are disclosed in EP 2393404 A1 , EP 2470053 A1 , EP 2533672 A1 , EP 2509473 A1 EP 2685874 A1 , EP 2594171 A1 , which are incorporated herein by reference, in rotating containers for user consumption.

Abstract

The present invention discloses a container for a beverage or food preparation machine for containing beverage or food preparation material and comprising on its surface an arrangement of individual codes encoding preparation information whereby each code contributes to the process of preparation Coding at different stages.

Description

technical field [0001] The described embodiments relate generally to a beverage or food preparation system for preparing a beverage or food from a container, such as a coffee capsule, and more particularly to a code disposed on the container that is used for machine reading by the system. Preparation information is encoded. Background technique [0002] Preparation machines for preparing beverages or food are increasingly configured to operate using containers containing single servings of preparation material (eg coffee, tea, ice cream, yoghurt). The machine may be configured to perform the preparation by processing the material in a container, eg adding and mixing a fluid such as milk or water, such a machine is disclosed in PCT / EP13 / 072692. Alternatively, the machine may be configured for performing the preparation by at least partially extracting the ingredients of the material from the container, for example by dissolving or brewing. Examples of such machines are prov...
