Abstract
An apparatus, comprising a camera, a motion sensor, a receiving section, gas tanks, a screen, and a computing device. The computing device is configured to control the camera to take electronic images, determine a type of food placed in a particular container, determine an amount of gas and a type of gas to fill the particular container, generate an electronic message to request placement of the particular container onto the receiving section, and inject gas into the particular container when the particular container is placed onto the receiving section. The injected gas is used to preserve food inside the container.
Claims6
An apparatus, comprising:
- a camera, wherein the camera is attached to a front of the apparatus,
- a motion sensor, wherein the motion sensor is attached to the front of the apparatus and the motion sensor is configured to determine that a particular container is placed onto the apparatus,
- a receiving section, wherein the receiving section is at the front of the apparatus and is located below the camera and the motion sensor,
- gas tanks, wherein the gas tanks are located in an enclosure of the apparatus,
- a graphical user interface screen, and a
- computing device, wherein the computing device is configured to:
- control the camera to take electronic images based on the motion sensor determining that the particular container is placed onto the receiving section,
- determine a type of food placed in the particular container, wherein the camera is configured to determine the type of food when the particular container is placed onto the receiving section,
- determine an amount of gas and a type of gas to fill the particular container,
- generate an electronic message to request placement of the particular container onto the receiving section, and
- inject gas into the particular container, based on the computing device determining the type of food and when the particular container is placed onto the receiving section, wherein the injected gas is configured to be injected via piping attached to one or more of the gas tanks and wherein the injected gas is used to preserve food inside the container;
- and
- a receiver arm, wherein the receiver arm is attached to a top portion of the receiving section and is configured to attach to the particular container placed in the receiving section.
