Description

1 TARIFF Smart bottle system and method with water quality indicators. Technical Area 5 The invention relates to the commercial bottled water industry, particularly to pre-packaged water bottles. implemented and offering consumers the opportunity to measure and monitor water quality in real time It is related to the system and method. State of the Art Nowadays, water brands list the analysis values ​​of the source water on their packaging. It markets these products. However, these values ​​may not be accurate. Various methods measure water quality. There are test kits available. Among these, home-use water test kits allow the user to manually test the water. 15 This requires it to do so. Furthermore, smart water bottles already exist. However, these... It only monitors water consumption, it does not measure water quality. The shortcomings and technical problems in the current technology are as follows: - Water quality can change over time, but consumers may not notice. 20 - Post-bottle water quality can deteriorate due to transportation, storage, and environmental factors. - In current systems, there is an indicator that allows the consumer to see the real-time status of the water. There isn't any. - External test kits are not practical for daily use. Therefore, consumers consume bottled water without knowing its current quality. 25 The application with the number IN202441092121A was revealed as a result of technical investigations. In summary, it's about a smart water bottle used to detect the water level in a container. The water in the container... Its level determines a person's daily water intake. It emits a yellow light when the water level in the container decreases. It indicates water intake. It emits a yellow light after a certain period, and a red light if the level does not drop. 30 It indicates that the person needs to drink water. When it reaches the third level, it emits a green light, showing the person that they need to drink water. This shows that it has received sufficient water. This project uses a multi-stage LED indicator system to demonstrate this. To monitor and encourage adequate daily water intake through timely water level detection and feedback. They are introducing a smart water bottle designed to track water consumption. The bottle indicates water intake and... 35 through yellow, red and green lights to provide reminders to the user to drink water It provides instant tips." 2 As you can see, the system is related to a smart water bottle that shows the water level, and in addition to that... a structure that can provide a solution to the disadvantages mentioned above It does not mention it. In conclusion, due to the negative aspects described above and the current solutions, the subject matter...
