Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a smart container, and more particularly to a method and apparatus for connecting a container to an electronic device.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Most consumers employ containers as a means for consumption of beverages. A traditional container includes a base portion that is formed with a cylinderical sidewall. A handle is provided on the cylindrical sidewall for grasping by a user. Consequently, apart from consuming a beverage, the user may not be able to utilize the container for performing any other function. Moreover, during circumstances in which it is required to heat the beverage in the container, the user may be required to employ the services of an external heating device. Consequently, the user may not be able to exploit a utility value of the container in the best possible manner. Therefore, there exists a need for a container with a display panel that would enable the user to interactively use the container for p...
