Description
Wine storage device and management system for the same
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a device for storing wine and a management system linked with said device for managing wine and providing related services.
[0002]
[0003] A wine cellar provides high-quality storage conditions to ensure that wine maintains its quality even as it ages over time. To this end, wine cellars focus on controlling environmental factors that affect the taste, aroma, and chemical composition of the wine.
[0004] For example, a wine cellar maintains an internal relative humidity between 50% and 80% to prevent the cork from drying out or deforming and to keep the wine sealed. It also features adequate ventilation to prevent mold from forming on the wine.
[0005] However, as existing wine cellars focus solely on storing the wine placed by the user, they have limitations in providing additional services related to the stored wine. Consequently, it is currently difficult to curate wine lists that reflect the user's preferences or to actively apply customized storage conditions.
[0006]
[0007] The present disclosure aims to go beyond conventional wine cellars that were limited to merely storing wine, and to provide additional services related to the wine being stored.
[0008] The problems that this disclosure aims to solve are not limited to those described above, and other unmentioned problems will be clearly understood by a person skilled in the art from the description below.

However, the present invention is not limited or restricted by exemplary embodiments. Unless otherwise defined, all terms used in this specification (including technical and scientific terms) shall be used in a meaning that is commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure belongs, but this may vary depending on the intent of those skilled in the art, case law, the emergence of new technology, etc.
[0035] Furthermore, terms defined in commonly used dictionaries are not to be interpreted ideally or excessively unless explicitly and specifically defined otherwise. In certain cases, terms have been selected at the applicant's discretion, and in such cases, their meanings will be described in detail in the relevant explanatory sections. Accordingly, terms used in this disclosure should be defined not merely by their names, but based on their meanings and the content throughout this disclosure.
[0036] Throughout this specification, when a part is described as “comprising” a certain component, this means that, unless specifically stated otherwise, it does not exclude other components but may include additional components. Furthermore, the singular form used in this specification includes the plural form unless specifically stated otherwise. Additionally, the expression “at least one of a, b and / or c” described throughout this specification may encompass ‘a alone,’ ‘b alone,’ ‘c alone,’ ‘a and b,’ ‘a and c,’ ‘b and c,’ or ‘a, b, and c all.’
[0037] Meanwhile, terms such as “first and / or second” used in this specification may be used to describe various components, but they are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing one component from another and are not intended to limit the description to the component referred to by such terms. For example, without departing from the scope of the present invention, the first component may be named the second component, and the second component may also be named the first component.
[0038] Additionally, terms such as “…part,” “…module,” etc., as described in this specification refer to a unit that processes at least one function or operation, which may be implemented in hardware or software, or a combination of hardware and software. Furthermore, embodiments of this disclosure may be represented in this specification by functional block configurations and various processing steps. These functional blocks may be implemented by various numbers of hardware and / or software configurations that execute specific functions. For example, embodiments of this disclosure may employ integrated circuit configurations such as memory, processing, logic, look-up tables, etc., which can execute various functions under the control of one or more microprocessors or other control devices.
[0039] In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, functions related to artificial intelligence may be implemented through a processor and memory. In this case, the processor may be any one of a general-purpose processor such as a CPU (Center Processing Unit), AP (Application Processor), DSP (Digital Signal Processor), a graphics-dedicated processor such as a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) or VPU (Vision Processing Unit), and an artificial intelligence-dedicated processor such as an NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit). The processor may process input data according to predefined operation rules or artificial intelligence models stored in memory. Alternatively, if the processor is an artificial intelligence-dedicated processor, the artificial intelligence-dedicated processor may be designed with a hardware structure specialized for processing a specific artificial intelligence model. In some embodiments according to the present disclosure, functions related to artificial intelligence may be implemented through a plurality of processors.
[0040] In an embodiment according to the present disclosure, a predefined operation rule or artificial intelligence model may be configured to perform machine learning.

For the same reason, some components in the accompanying drawings may be exaggerated, omitted, or schematically depicted. Furthermore, the size of each component does not entirely reflect its actual size. Throughout this specification, the same reference numerals may refer to the same or corresponding components.
[0045] FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of an overall system for storing and managing wine according to one embodiment.
[0046] Referring to FIG. 1, the system may include a wine storage device (100), a management system (200), and a user terminal (300). The system illustrated in FIG. 1 shows only the components related to the present embodiment. Therefore, it can be understood by those skilled in the art related to the present embodiment that other general components may be included in addition to the components illustrated in FIG. 1.
[0047] A wine storage device (100) is a device capable of storing one wine inside, and in FIG. 1, one wine storage device (100) is shown. However, this is for convenience of explanation, and depending on the embodiment, multiple wine storage devices may communicate with a management system (200) or a user terminal (300). Through this, information about each wine stored in each wine storage device and information about the status of each wine storage device may be transmitted to the management system (200) or the user terminal (300).
[0048] The management system (200) is a set of devices that control and link the wine storage device (100) and the user terminal (300), and collect, analyze, and generate various data for providing wine storage and management services. The devices constituting the management system (200) are not provided inside the wine storage device (100) or the user terminal (300), but are provided in a separate space that electrically communicates with the wine storage device (100) and the user terminal (300). The management system (200) can provide service data to the user terminal (300) via a mobile application or web browser connected to the user terminal (300).
[0049] A user terminal (300) is a device that receives input from a user through an input interface and transmits it to a wine storage device (100) or a management system (200), receives a corresponding response from the wine storage device (100) or the management system (200), and provides it to the user through an output interface. The type of user terminal (300) may vary depending on the form of the platform through which the user accesses the wine storage and management service. For example, if the user accesses the wine storage and management service through a mobile application, a smartphone, tablet PC, etc., may be used as the user terminal (300). On the other hand, if the user accesses the wine storage and management service through a web browser, a PC, laptop, server, etc., may be used as the user terminal (300).
[0050] Specifically, the user terminal (300) can receive service data from the wine storage device (100) or the management system (200) while connected to the wine storage device (100) or the management system (200), and process data for wine storage and management based on the service data and provide it to the user.
[0051] Specifically, the user terminal (300) can input information about the wine into an artificial intelligence-based computing vision model and transmit service data, which is the output, to a wine storage device (100) or a management system (200). Here, the information about the wine may include the type of wine, and the user terminal (300) can obtain information about the wine by receiving a label image from the user terminal (300). In addition, the user terminal (300) can obtain the temperature, time, preference, etc., at which the wine was drunk from the user.
[0052] A wine storage device (100), a management system (200), and a user terminal (300) can communicate via a network (not shown) to transmit and receive information related to an object. The network includes a Local Area Network (LAN), a Wide Area Network (WAN), a Value Added Network (VAN), a mobile radio communication network, a satellite communication network, and combinations thereof. It is a comprehensive data communication network that enables each network constituent entity shown in FIG. 1 to communicate smoothly with one another, and may include wired internet, wireless internet, and mobile wireless communication networks.

[0053] FIG. 2 is an exemplary drawing for explaining the structure of a wine storage device (100) according to one embodiment.
[0054] A wine storage device (100) may include a housing (110, 120) having a space for storing one wine inside, and a window (130) formed on at least a part of the outer surface of the housing (110, 120) and having a UV-blocking layer. The window (130) may be formed as a single window on the outer surface of the housing (110, 120) or may be formed in multiple locations. Additionally, a UV-blocking layer may be formed over the entire window (130), or a UV-blocking layer may be formed in a part of the window (130) area corresponding to the location of the wine inserted therein.
[0055] Specifically, the housing (110, 120) may include an upper housing (110) and a lower housing (120) that can be coupled to each other. The upper housing (110) and the lower housing (120) may be coupled by rotating them to align their protrusions and indentations, or by aligning a groove formed in the upper housing (110) with a protrusion formed in the lower housing. As the upper housing (110) and the lower housing (120) are coupled or separated from each other, the housing (110, 120) may be opened or closed to the outside, and at least one of a window (130) or one or more temperature control elements (not shown) may be formed in the lower housing (120).
[0056] Meanwhile, the window (130) may be formed on the outer surface of the housing (110, 120) corresponding to the position of the label of the wine inserted into the space within the housing (110, 120). In the present disclosure, since wines of various sizes may be inserted into the housing (110, 120), the window (130) may be formed in a size corresponding to the largest wine size that can be inserted into the housing (110, 120).
[0057] FIG. 3 is an exemplary drawing for explaining a detailed part of the structure of a wine storage device (100) according to one embodiment. FIG. 3 is illustrated with a window (130), an insulating material (140), and a temperature control element (150) placed in the lower housing (120) portion, but this is exemplary, and according to the embodiment, at least some of the components may be placed in the upper housing (110) portion.

FIG. 3 shows one temperature control element (150) so that the temperature control element (150) can discharge air at a temperature colder than the temperature of the space within the housing (120) in a diagonal direction. However, depending on the embodiment, two temperature control elements may be placed at different locations within the space within the housing (120) and each discharge air at a cold temperature in opposite directions to circulate the air within the space within the housing (120).
[0060] A wine storage device (100) may include a sensor (not shown) that collects spatial environment information within a housing (120) and a control unit (not shown) that controls a temperature control element (150) based on the spatial environment collected by the sensor. Here, the spatial environment information within the housing may include, but is not limited to, the temperature and / or humidity of the wine storage device (100).
[0061] Specifically, the sensor can collect environmental information within the housing (110, 120), and the control unit can input information about the wine and / or an image of the wine label collected from the user terminal into an artificial intelligence-based computing vision model.

[0082] In one embodiment, the management system (200) collects information on wines stored in each of a plurality of linked wine storage devices (assuming that the wine storage devices are linked to a single user account or user terminal), and based on this, can provide a list of wines owned by the user to the user terminal (300).
[0083] Additionally, the management system (200) can identify wines corresponding to a relatively small proportion of the wines owned by the user, such as the type of wine, grape variety, grape region, tasting, country of manufacture, grape region, or pairing food type, based on the user's wine list, and generate a recommended wine list based on this and provide it to the user terminal (300). Through this, the user's need to collect various wines can be satisfied.
[0084] Additionally, the management system (200) can recommend to the user terminal (300) that the wine with the longest storage period or the wine with the earliest expiration date be the priority for consumption among the wine list owned by the user.
