Drinkware container with active temperature control

An actively heated or cooled cup or mug container, comprising:

• a body having a circumferential wall extending between an opening at a proximal end and a base, the circumferential wall and the base together defining a chamber configured to receive and hold a liquid, the circumferential wall extending distally of the base to a bottom portion to define a cavity between the base and the bottom portion that is bounded by the circumferential wall;
• and
• a temperature control system disposed in the cavity between the base and the bottom portion, comprising
• one or more heating or cooling elements configured to actively heat or cool at least a portion of the chamber,
• one or more power storage elements,
• one or more sensors configured to detect a presence of a liquid in the chamber, and
• circuitry configured to control an operation of the one or more heating elements to heat the liquid in the chamber to a predetermined temperature or user selected temperature setting, the circuitry being operable to two or more of:
• wirelessly communicate with a mobile electronic device to one or both of transmit information to the mobile electronic device and receive instructions from the mobile electronic device,
• automatically turn on power to the heating or cooling elements after receiving a signal from the one or more sensors indicating a temperature of the liquid in the chamber, and
• automatically turning off power to the heating or cooling elements upon receiving a signal from the one or more sensors indicating that the liquid in the chamber has dropped below a predetermined liquid level or been depleted completely.
