Abstract
A method of tracking liquid consumption for a bottle assembly may include sensing a dispensing operation of an external liquid dispenser. The method may further include determining an identity of the external liquid dispenser based on sensing the dispensing operation of the external liquid dispenser. The method may also include adjusting the flow assembly in response to determining the identity of the external liquid dispenser. The flow assembly may define a filter position and a bypass position. The method may also include measuring liquid data of the liquid reservoir following adjusting the flow assembly.
Claims20
A method of tracking liquid consumption for a bottle assembly, the bottle assembly comprising a body and a flow assembly provided within a liquid reservoir of the body, the method comprising:
- sensing a dispensing operation of an external liquid dispenser;
- determining an identity of the external liquid dispenser based on sensing the dispensing operation of the external liquid dispenser;
- adjusting the flow assembly in response to determining the identity of the external liquid dispenser, wherein the flow assembly defines a filter position and a bypass position;
- and
- measuring liquid data of the liquid reservoir following adjusting the flow assembly.
A bottle assembly for tracking liquid consumption, the bottle assembly comprising:
- a body defining a liquid reservoir;
- a flow assembly provided within the liquid reservoir;
- and
- a controller operable for:
- sensing a dispensing operation of an external liquid dispenser;
- determining an identity of the external liquid dispenser based on sensing the dispensing operation of the external liquid dispenser;
- adjusting the flow assembly in response to determining the identity of the external liquid dispenser, wherein the flow assembly defines a filter position and a bypass position;
- and
- measuring liquid data of the liquid reservoir following adjusting the flow assembly.
