Personalized beverage dispensing device
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a wireless transceiver configured to receive data from a biosensor that measures a physiological parameter of a user;
a user input device configured to transmit an input directing the discharge of a first recipe from the apparatus;
a first conduit selectively connected to a first ingredient source, the first conduit comprising a plurality of sensors configured to measure parameters of the first ingredient; and
a controller connected to the wireless transceiver, the user input device, and the plurality of sensors, wherein the controller is configured todetermine an activity performed by the user based at least in part on the data received from the biosensor,determine a second recipe based at least in part on the data received from the biosensor and the activity performed by the user,determine to dispense the second recipe comprising an estimated amount of at least the first ingredient and a second ingredient,initiate dispensing the first ingredient of the beverage through the first conduit,utilize the sensors to measure a plurality of parameters relating to the first ingredient being dispensed through the first conduit to obtain a result for each parameter, andbased upon the result of at least one measured parameter of the first ingredient, adjust the amount of the second ingredient to be dispensed into either the first conduit or a second conduit.

Abstract
Systems and methods for dispensing compositions, such as beverages, are provided. Beverage dispensers may be configured to receive one or more physiological parameters regarding a user, and in response, formulate at least one beverage recipe for dispensing. A beverage dispenser may wirelessly receive data from a biosensor. Environmental or biological data from the biosensor may be used to alter the recipe to another existing beverage or a custom beverage. Non-physiological data may also be considered. Exertion data may be calculated. The calculation of exertion data may receive inputs regarding at least one physiological parameter and/or non-physiological parameters to derive a second physiological parameter not being measured.

13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising computer-executable instructions that when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform steps for providing a beverage at a beverage dispenser, the steps comprising:
-
automatically receiving at the beverage dispenser, data from a biosensor configured to measure a physiological parameter of a user; automatically determining an activity performed by the user based at least in part on the data received from the bio sensor; receiving a user input configured to select a non-customized beverage; altering a recipe of the non-customized beverage based at least in part on the data received from the biosensor and the activity performed by the user to either (i) adjust at least one ingredient of the recipe or (ii) introduce a new ingredient to the recipe, such that a second recipe is formed. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22)

23. An apparatus comprising:
-
a wireless transceiver configured to receive data from a biosensor that measures a physiological parameter of a user; a user input device configured to transmit an input directing the discharge of a first recipe from the apparatus; a controller connected to the wireless transceiver and the user input device, wherein the controller is configured to determine an activity performed by the user based at least in part on the data received from the biosensor, receive a user input configured to select a non-customized beverage, and alter, based on at least the data received from the biosensor and the activity performed by the user, the first recipe of the non-customized beverage to either (i) adjust at least one ingredient of the first recipe or (ii) introduce a new ingredient to the first recipe, such that a second recipe is formed. - View Dependent Claims (24, 25, 26)
