Solution Overview

Problem

Existing liquor purchasing methods result in high time and cost inefficiencies, waste, and lack of consumer-centric grading, with large liquor bottles leading to waste and inefficient production processes.

Innovation Solution

A mouthful packaged raw liquor system with 10-50 ml bottles, featuring cellar-specific identification and a personalized pre-ordering method that allows consumers to directly purchase and order based on their tasting habits, connected through a cloud server for distillery interaction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If large bottles of liquor (larger than 50 ml, 0.25 kilogram, or even 0.5 kilogram) are used for packaging, then the liquor can be stored and transported efficiently, but waste occurs when the liquor bottles are opened but unable to finish drinking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepackaging efficiencyVSAvoidliquor waste
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSLoss of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the traditional large liquor bottle into multiple small bottles (1-10 ml each). Instead of packaging liquor in large containers that cannot be fully consumed, the same total volume is segmented into numerous single-serving small bottles. This allows consumers to purchase and consume exactly the amount needed, eliminating waste from unfinished large bottles while maintaining efficient packaging and distribution of the total liquor volume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If consumers purchase large amounts of raw liquor from different cellars for tasting, then they can find flavorful raw liquor, but time cost and purchase cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveliquor flavor qualityVSAvoidtasting time cost
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements pre-ordering and personalized recommendation systems that allow consumers to specify their tasting preferences in advance. Based on historical data and consumer profiles, the system pre-selects and prepares small bottles from specific cellars that match consumer preferences. This eliminates the need for consumers to physically visit multiple cellars and purchase large quantities for tasting, as the desired liquor is prepared and delivered beforehand in convenient single-serving portions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If grades of liquors are evaluated by technical experts of distilleries, then the grading system is established, but the grade evaluation completely deviates from preferences or tasting habits of ordinary consumers

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvegrading system establishmentVSAvoidconsumer preference alignment
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dual-grading system where technical experts provide initial quality assessments, but consumer tasting feedback continuously refines and adjusts the grading. Consumers rate their experiences with small bottles from different cellars, and this feedback is fed back to adjust the grading algorithm. This creates a dynamic system that maintains the structure of expert evaluation while adapting to actual consumer preferences, ensuring the grading reflects both technical quality and consumer satisfaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

4Ease of manufacture

If ordinary liquor bottles are designed for traditional packaging, then manufacturing is simple, but the liquor bottles are unable to be reused as a household item in daily life

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebottle manufacturing simplicityVSAvoidbottle reusability
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs the small liquor bottles with universal features that enable multiple functions. The bottles are equipped with standardized caps, durable materials, and ergonomic designs that allow them to serve not only as liquor containers but also as drinking vessels, storage containers for other purposes, or even decorative items. This multi-functionality transforms what would be single-use waste into reusable household items, reducing environmental impact while maintaining simple manufacturing processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

A one-shot packaged unblended liquor and assembly, and a personalized pre-ordering method based on liquor tasting habits. The one-shot packaged unblended liquor comprises a liquor bottle. The volume of the liquor bottle is 10-50 ml, and unblended liquor is packaged in the liquor bottle. The unblended liquor is made by subjecting liquor-brewing raw materials to fermentation and distillation in a specific fermentation pit, without being blended or a liquor mixing process. The one-shot packaged unblended liquor assembly comprises a packaging box, the one-shot packaged unblended liquor being provided in the packaging box. The personalized pre-ordering method based on liquor tasting habits is used for pre-ordering the one-shot packaged unblended liquor assembly.
