Abstract
An active foodware system includes a mechanical structure supporting a food surface recessed in relation to an area surrounding the food surface; a heating component for heating food received by the food surface; a sensing component for maintaining the heating component at a desired temperature; a wireless communication component; and a visual stimulating component responsive to data from the sensing component or the wireless communication component.
Claims24
An active foodware system comprising:
- a mechanical structure being wider than tall and including a wireless sending component for sending;
- a food surface supported by said mechanical structure, said food surface having a peripheral region surrounding said food surface, said food surface being recessed in relation to said peripheral region for receiving solid food and preventing spillage from said food surface;
- a heating component for heating said food;
- a sensing component for controlling said heating component for maintaining a desired temperature;
- a wireless communication component for communicating data related to said desired temperature, data from said sensing component, digital data related to said food, or electrical power;
- and
- a visual stimulating component for providing visual stimulation in response to said data from said sensing component or data from said wireless communication component.
