Aspects described herein relate to improvements in beverage machines and methods of brewing beverages therein. According to some embodiments, a beverage consumable includes one or more through-holes configured to encode information. A beverage machine may include a light source configured to pass light through the through-holes of the beverage consumable. The beverage machine may include a detector to detect a pattern of light that has passed through the through-holes of the beverage consumable. Information such as, but not limited to, beverage consumable type and brew parameters, may be encoded by the through-holes of the beverage consumable. In some embodiments, the beverage consumable may be in the form of a compacted beverage tablet that does not require packaging to retain its shape.

The present invention relates to a temperature-based predictive sensor system for predicting maintenance times and / or maintenance intervals within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or consumption of beverages, and to a method for predicting maintenance times and / or maintenance intervals within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or consumption of beverages according to the respective preamble of claims 1 and 6.

Predictive sensor system for predicting maintenance times and / or maintenance intervals and / or for detecting contaminants within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or consumption of beverages, e.g., still water and / or water enriched or infused with CO2 or O2, juices, milk, alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, etc., comprising at least one device for the germ-free dispensing of beverages, e.g., still water and / or water enriched or infused with CO2 or O2, juices, milk, alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, etc.and at least one tank element with at least one closable or self-closing opening which closes automatically after being removed from a connection of the device and opens automatically again after the tank element is placed on the connection, wherein an air bubble within a fluid line of the device system can be detected by means of at least one sensor, wherein the sensor can detect the air bubble and / or contaminants in the fluid via a detector window on or in the line.

A method for transferring beverages using a mobile phone number: Merchants develop an online beverage sales platform and set up offline terminals. Merchants allow users to purchase the right to transfer beverages through the software platform. Users purchase the right to transfer beverages on the application software platform and enter the mobile phone number or other identification method of the target consumer to whom the beverage is to be transferred. The target consumer downloads the beverage online sales application software developed by the merchant, or can use other software that cooperates with the beverage online sales application software developed by the merchant. By scanning the code at the merchant's offline consumption terminal using identification methods such as mobile phone number, the user obtains the right to transfer the relevant beverage consumption. The information is recorded and verified through the application software platform.

A method for authenticating physical products using dual-frequency radio frequency identification tags includes receiving tag data from a consumer device that scanned a dual-frequency RFID tag supporting near field communication and / or ultra-high frequency protocols. The system extracts a unique tag identifier and cryptographic signature data from the received tag data, and validates tag authenticity by comparing the cryptographic signature data against stored cryptographic keys associated with the unique tag identifier. The method determines tamper status by analyzing tamper detection circuitry integrated within the tag. The system retrieves product metadata from a secure database and generates a personalized product information response based on the retrieved metadata and consumer interaction history. The personalized response is transmitted to the consumer device for display. The system may process product claiming requests, manage ownership records in an immutable cryptographic ledger, and support manufacturing integration through flexible tag association.

The present invention relates to an hourglass-integrable and / or temperature-based prediction sensor system for predicting maintenance times and / or maintenance intervals within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or consumption of beverages, and to a method for predicting maintenance times and / or maintenance intervals within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or consumption of beverages according to the respective preamble of claims 1 and 6.

A can piercing device for facilitating rapid beverage consumption from a can features a spring-loaded cam with a claw extending therefrom, which is activated by pulling the trigger of a toy revolver gun. A simulated projectile aligned with the barrel and the hammer of the toy gun activates a release mechanism, causing the claw to emerge from the front end of the device, puncture, and tear an opening in the beverage can for entertainment purposes of the user.

Sensor system device for detecting impurities within a piping system of a device system for monitoring a temperature and / or a consumption of beverages, e.g. still water and / or water enriched or mixed with CO2 or O2, juices, milk, alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, etc., comprising at least one device for the germ-free dispensing of beverages, e.g. still water and / or water enriched or mixed with CO2 or O2, juices, milk, alcoholic or alcoholic beverages, etc.and at least one tank element with at least one closable or self-closing opening which closes automatically after being removed from a connection of the device and opens automatically again after the tank element is placed on the connection, wherein an air bubble within a fluid line of the device system can be detected by means of at least one sensor, wherein the sensor can detect the air bubble and / or contaminants in the fluid via a detector window on or in the line.
