Wireless communications system integrating electronics into orally ingestible products for controlled release of active ingredients

A method of releasing an active ingredient, comprising:

• providing a consumable capsule, said consumable capsule comprising:
• an outer surrounding sidewall defining a capsule interior;
• a signal receiving section disposed at least partially within the capsule interior;
• a control section disposed at least partially with the capsule interior;
• at least one capsule compartment associated with said outer surrounding sidewall, said at least one capsule compartment storing said active ingredient;
• and
• an actuator associated with said at least one capsule compartment;
• receiving a wireless signal by said signal receiving section;
• emitting, within the capsule interior, electromagnetic energy which corresponds to said wireless signal;
• transmitting, via said control section, a trigger in response to said electromagnetic energy;
• and
• linearly altering said actuator in response to said trigger to allow for release of the active ingredient into an external environment.
