Abstract

An Internet of Thing (IoT) device includes a body and sensors including a camera and an accelerometer; a processor; and a wireless transceiver coupled to the processor.

Claims

1. A system, comprising:

a body to contain food or drink;

a processor in the body and coupled to a wireless transceiver; and

a camera coupled to the body to detect mildew presence as a quality of one or more objects in the body;

one or more sensors in the body coupled to the processor to sense quantity and quality status of food or drink; and

a learning machine coupled to the camera and one or more sensors to classify the objects in the body and determine object consumption pattern;

wherein the body comprises a refrigerator housing, further comprising a plurality of shelves or bins that receive digitally responsive containers requiring refrigeration;

one or more wireless charging pads or layers each positioned on a shelf to power the digitally responsive containers;

a transceiver coupled to a network to access the Internet and to communicate with one or more appliances coupled to the network.

2. The system of claim 1, comprising code to receive a remote control from the smart phone, watch, tablet, or mobile computer and to actuate a valve, motor, sensor, or actuator in response to the remote control.

3. The system of claim 1, comprising code to monitor inventory stored in the body and for low inventory, reorder items with a remote computer.

4. The system of claim 1, comprising a robot to move an item to an appliance.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor communicates usage, fan comments, or cooking information from a brand to a user.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor complies with a request or demand from a utility to reduce power consumption for a period.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the camera captures a view of an interior of the body, comprising a display on the outside of the body coupled to the camera to display the interior view.

8. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor detects a potential component failure and requests service prior to a component failure.

9. The system of claim 1, wherein the processor is coupled to an Internet-of-Things (TOT) appliance.

10. The system of claim 1, comprising a 3D printer coupled to the body to form food or drink into a predetermined 3D shape.

11. The system of claim 1, wherein the camera detects spoilage based on time position of an item in the body.

12. The system of claim 1, wherein the container responds to a query including remaining amount and freshness.

13. The system of claim 1, comprising one or more volume indicia on the container to indicate remaining content.

14. The system of claim 1, comprising image processing code to receive camera images and to determine the presence of spoilage, mildew, bacteria or pathogen in a container.

15. The system of claim 1, comprising a wireless power transmitter coupled to an antenna in the container to capture power transmitted to the container.

16. The system of claim 1, comprising a package with code to report content status, age, quality, or computer readable usage preparation.

17. The system of claim 16, comprising code to contact a consumer, distributor, retailer, or manufacturer for preparation instruction, wherein the processor changes temperature of the body in accordance with the preparation instruction.

18. The system of claim 1, comprising an electronic nose to detect an odor from an item in the body.

19. The system of claim 1, comprising a temperature control unit to adjust temperature in the body as controlled by the processor.
