Coffee machines that provide personalized recommendations based on user interaction information

Abstract

A coffee machine that provides personalized recommendations based on user interaction information includes a casing, a main control screen panel, an extraction module, an integrated control unit, and an AI module. The main control screen panel provides a graphical interactive interface with options such as horoscope, mood, or random divination. When the user inputs interactive information through the interface, the integrated control unit transmits the signal to the AI ​​module for correlation analysis, thereby generating recommendation parameters. Based on these parameters, the integrated control unit automatically drives the extraction module to perform ingredient selection, heating, and high-pressure extraction, resulting in a specific flavor of coffee flowing from the coffee outlet. This invention combines artificial intelligence with engaging interaction, giving the coffee machine contextual recommendation functionality and emotional companionship value.

Description

Coffee machines that provide personalized recommendations based on user interaction information Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a beverage preparation device, particularly a coffee machine that provides personalized recommendations based on user interaction information. Prior Technology

[0002] Traditional capsule coffee machines mainly consist of a water tank, pump, heater, and extraction chamber. Users can only manually select the capsule and press a single function button to brew the coffee. Although there are now coffee machines on the market with internet connectivity, their functions are mostly limited to remote operation, timed brewing, or adjusting the extraction temperature and water volume, lacking user interaction.

[0003] In the existing technology, the choice of coffee flavor depends entirely on the user's subjective judgment. For beginners or users who are not familiar with the flavor characteristics of various capsules, it is difficult to choose the most suitable beverage in a specific situation (such as emotional fluctuations or a specific time period).

[0004] In addition, existing machine interfaces are mostly simple light signals or small LCD screens, which cannot provide entertainment and interactive value. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention aims to address the technical problems of traditional capsule coffee machines, such as a lack of personalized interaction, inability to assist users in making contextualized choices, and monotonous interface interactivity.

[0006] Technical features of this work:

[0007] A coffee machine that provides personalized recommendations based on user interaction information, comprising:

[0008] A housing, the housing being constructed to have an internal space and an external surface;

[0009] A main control screen panel is disposed on the outer surface of the casing for displaying a graphical interactive interface and receiving a touch input signal;

[0010] An extraction module, disposed within the internal space of the housing, includes a water tank connected in series with an external water source, a high-pressure water pump connected to the water tank, a rapid heating system connected to the high-pressure water pump, a capsule slot with a puncture mechanism connected to the rapid heating system, and a capsule storage compartment connected to the capsule slot and supplying a capsule of coffee to the capsule slot; the downstream end of the capsule slot is connected to a coffee outlet protruding from the external surface of the housing.

[0011] An integrated control unit is electrically connected to the main control screen panel and the extraction module, and the integrated control unit is communicatively connected to an AI module;

[0012] The integrated control unit receives the touch input signal from the main control screen panel, and the AI ​​module performs correlation analysis on the touch input signal to determine a recommended parameter. Based on the recommended parameter, the integrated control unit outputs control commands to the extraction module to automatically select a coffee capsule from the capsule storage compartment, deliver the selected coffee capsule to the capsule slot, and activate the high-pressure water pump and the rapid heating system to extract the coffee capsule. Technical benefits of this invention:

[0013] By combining AI modules with a graphical user interface, users can input information such as their zodiac sign and mood without needing professional coffee knowledge. The system will then automatically analyze and recommend the flavor that best suits their current situation, solving the technical problem of difficulty in choosing from a wide variety of capsules.

[0014] The coffee machine has been transformed from a simple beverage preparation tool into an emotional terminal with companionship value. Through horoscope and random divination functions, the interactive fun and psychological emotional connection between the device and the user have been increased. Simple Explanation of the Diagram
