Beverage dispensing device configured to alter a recipe in response to external inputs
First Claim
1. An apparatus comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive data from a biosensor that measures a physiological parameter of a user;
determining an activity performed by the user based on the data received from the biosensor;
a display device configured to display one or more beverage options available for selection based, at least in part, on the data received from the biosensor and at least one of a favorite beverage of the user and a past beverage purchase of the user;
an input device configured to receive input indicating a selection of one of the beverage options; and
a controller connected to the transceiver, display device, and input device wherein the controller is configured to alter a recipe of a beverage associated with the selection based on the activity performed by the user and at least one of the data received from the biosensor, the favorite beverage, and the past beverage purchase such that a second recipe is formed.

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.
