AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention relates to a bottle stopper with holder for mobile device (bottle stopper with holder) that allows users to operate their mobile device while secured in the bottle stopper's opening. Users can take selfies from a greater distance or record videos using the mobile device's camera function without having to hold it. The bottle stopper with holder offers the advantage of securing the mobile device while still being able to use it. The patent text describes a method of using the bottle stopper with holder to take a selfie.

Problems solved by technology

However, the process of taking a “selfie” at such an occasion can be cumbersome.
At present, the use of a stick-mounting device is the general device of choice that assists with taking “selfies,” but such a large item may be cumbersome in a setting involving alcohol and breakables.
However, each one of these references fails to teach taking “selfies” during a beverage-drinking party with friends.
