Abstract
A mobile terminal includes: a wireless communication unit configured to communicate with a beverage-making apparatus; a display unit; and at least one processor. The at least one processor is configured to: receive, through the wireless communication unit, beverage-making state information indicating a state of the beverage-making apparatus; and generate content to be output through the display unit, based on the received beverage-making state information of the beverage-making apparatus.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a beverage-making apparatus including:
- a fermentation tank that defines a space for fermentation;
- a beverage ingredient pack that accommodates a first ingredient and that is configured to be inserted into and removed from the fermentation tank;
- a supplier that is connected to the fermentation tank and that includes a space to accommodate a capsule with a second ingredient;
- a refrigeration cycle apparatus and a heater configured to control a temperature of the fermentation tank;
- and
- a gas discharger configured to discharge gas in the fermentation tank during a beverage-making process;
- and
- a mobile terminal including:
- a wireless communication transceiver configured to communicate with the beverage-making apparatus;
- a display;
- and
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive, through the wireless communication transceiver, beverage-making state information indicating a state of the beverage-making apparatus;
- and
- generate content to be output through the display, based on the received beverage-making state information of the beverage-making apparatus,
- wherein the at least one processor is further configured to generate, based on ingredient information of at least one of the first ingredient or the second ingredient being received by the wireless communication transceiver, content using the received ingredient information.
