Icebreaker activities using an intelligent beverage container
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- detecting, using at least one accelerometer of a first beverage container associated with a first user account, that a two-party triggering action has been performed by the first beverage container and a second beverage container associated with a second user account, the two-party triggering action occurring while the second beverage container is within a threshold distance of the first beverage container;
transmitting, by the first beverage container and based on the detected two-party triggering action, a first user identifier associated with the first beverage container to the second beverage container over a direct wireless connection between the first beverage container and the second beverage container;
receiving, by the first beverage container and based on the detected two-party triggering action, a second user identifier associated with the second beverage container over the direct wireless connection; and
transmitting, by the first beverage container and based on the detected two-party triggering action, a connection request comprising the received second user identifier to a server to establish a social media connection between the first user account and the second user account.

Abstract
Systems, devices, and methods are provided for conducting a social interaction. A first user account may be associated with a first beverage container. A second beverage container may be detected as being proximate to the first beverage container. A second user account associated with the second beverage container may be accessed to identify a commonality between the first and second user accounts. The commonality may be objective and/or subjective information or data about the users of the first and second beverage containers. Information indicative of the commonality may be displayed on an electronic display of at least one of the beverage containers. The electronic display may be flexible such that it conforms to a curvature of the beverage container.

12. A first beverage container apparatus comprising:
-
at least one accelerometer; a wireless transceiver; a processor; a memory in electronic communication with the processor; and instructions being executable by the processor to, detect, using the at least one accelerometer, that a two-party triggering action has been performed by the first beverage container and a second beverage container associated with a second user account, the two-party triggering action occurring while the second beverage container is within a threshold distance of the first beverage container, wherein the first beverage container is associated with a first user account; transmit, based on the detected two-party triggering action, a first user identifier associated with the first beverage container to the second beverage container using the wireless transceiver over a direct wireless connection between the first beverage container and the second beverage container; receive, based on the detected two-party triggering action, a second user identifier associated with the second beverage container over the direct wireless connection using the wireless transceiver; and transmit, based on the detected two-party triggering action, a connection request comprising the received second user identifier to a server using the wireless transceiver to establish a social media connection between the first user account and the second user account. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16)
