US 2019/0164116 A1 · SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING VERIFIED CONSUMPTION PROFILES FOR FOOD ITEMS

Abstract

A consumption capture system is able to detect and verify point of consumption data for acquired goods, and generate consumption profiles for individual or groups of goods. A consumption profile may describe information associated with consumption events that have been corroborated by one or more of recipe information, user input, sensor data, account information, etc. The consumption capture system may verify the occurrence of a consumption event using data from sensors incorporated into kitchen appliances, storage pantries, etc., and may use the data and acquire other data to build a set of information that describes details about the consumption event. In this way, the consumption profiles comprise verified insight into how individual goods are consumed once they are obtained by a customer. Such verified consumption histories allow both customers and merchants to gain insight into the consumption histories of goods.

Dependent claims

An electronic consumption tracking device comprising:

one or more processing units;
and
memory storing computer-executable instructions executable by the one or more processing units to perform operations comprising;
receiving, from an appliance, first sensor information associated with a first consumption event involving a food item;
determining, based on the first sensor information, first food item data associated with the first consumption event;
generating, based on the first food item data, a consumption profile associated with the food item, wherein the consumption profile indicates that the first food item data is associated with the first consumption event;
receiving, from the appliance, second sensor information associated with a second consumption event involving the food item;
determining, based on the second sensor information, second food item data associated with the second consumption event;
updating, based on the second food item data, the consumption profile so that the consumption profile indicates both (i) the first food data associated with the first consumption event and (ii) the second food item data associated with the second consumption event.

6 more elements

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having thereon at set of instructions, which if performed by a computer, cause the computer to at least:

receive sensor information associated with a food item;
determine that the sensor information verifies a consumption event associated with a first quantity of the food item being consumed;
and
generate a consumption profile associated with the food item, wherein the consumption profile indicates that the first quantity of the food item was consumed in association with the consumption event.
