Abstract
Nutritional substance systems and methods are disclosed enabling the tracking and communication of changes in nutritional, organoleptic, and aesthetic values of nutritional substances, and further enabling the adaptive storage and adaptive conditioning of nutritional substances.
Claims24
A conditioning system for nutritional substances comprising:
- a database including various conditioning protocols for nutritional substances, wherein the conditioning protocols comprise different conditioning parameters;
- a camera configured to output optical characteristics of the nutritional substance;
- and
- a controller configured to process the optical characteristics of the nutritional substance and to output an identity of the nutritional substance, the controller further configured to obtain at least one conditioning protocol from the database based on the identity of the nutritional substance, and to adapt operation of the conditioning system responsive to the conditioning protocol to condition the nutritional substance.
1 more element
A conditioning system for conditioning nutritional substances comprising:
- a camera configured to output optical characteristics of a nutritional substance;
- one or more conditioners;
- a database comprising a set conditioning protocols referenced to known nutritional substances, wherein each of the set of conditioning protocols comprises different conditioning parameters for the one or more conditioners;
- a memory with machine executable code;
- a controller, comprising one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute the machine executable code to cause the processor to:
- process, at the controller, the optical characteristics of the nutritional substance to identify the nutritional substance;
- receive, at the controller, a conditioning protocol from the database referenced to the identity of the nutritional substance;
- and
- operate the conditioning parameters for the one more conditioners based on the conditioning protocol.
6 more elements
A dynamic conditioning system for nutritional substances comprising:
- a database including various conditioning protocols for nutritional substances, wherein the conditioning protocols comprise different conditioning parameters;
- an infrared temperature sensor configured to detect a surface temperature of a nutritional substance and output sensor data related to the internal temperature;
- and
- a controller configured to adapt operation of the conditioning system responsive to at least one of the conditioning protocols for the nutritional substance and further configured to modify the conditioning protocol based on the output sensor data.
