Systems, apparatuses, computer readable media, and methods for implementing a wirelessly-enabled liquid container

A method of implementing a wirelessly-enabled liquid container that is dynamically configured to facilitate use-based messaging for a particular consumer of the liquid contents of the wirelessly-enabled liquid container, the wirelessly-enabled liquid container comprising a baby bottle and including an upper portion comprising an opening and a liquid reservoir in communication with the opening, and a lower portion coupled to said upper portion, said lower portion comprising at least one processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a transceiver coupled to the processor, at least one sensor unit coupled to the processor, and an audio unit coupled to the processor;

• wherein the memory stores one or more audio messages, wherein the sensor unit includes a first sensor that indicates when the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved so that the liquid contents of the wirelessly-enabled liquid container can be consumed, wherein the audio unit includes a speaker that outputs the at least one or more audio messages under the control of the processor when the first sensor senses that the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved, wherein the transceiver sends and receives data wirelessly, said data including control information provided by a remote device, said one or more audio messages being provided by at least one back end server separate from said remote device;
• the method comprising:
• receiving the control information provided by the remote device;
• dynamically configuring the processor to select at least one of the one or more audio messages for playback via the speaker based on control information provided by the remote device;
• sensing, via the first sensor, whether the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved;
• and
• outputting the at least one or more audio messages provided by the at least one back end server under the control of the processor when the first sensor senses that the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved.

In a communication network having remote devices, including remote user devices and at least one back end server device communicating with at least one of the remote user devices, and one or more wirelessly-enabled liquid containers, each of the wirelessly-enabled liquid containers being a baby bottle and comprising:

• an upper portion comprising an opening and a liquid reservoir in communication with the opening;
• and
• a lower portion coupled to said upper portion, said lower portion comprising at least one processor, a memory coupled to the processor, a transceiver coupled to the processor, at least one sensor unit coupled to the processor, and an audio unit coupled to the processor;
• wherein the memory stores one or more audio messages provided by the at least one back end server, wherein the sensor unit includes a first sensor that indicates when the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved so that the liquid contents of the wirelessly-enabled liquid container can be consumed, wherein the audio unit includes a speaker that outputs the at least one or more audio messages under the control of the processor when the first sensor senses that the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved, wherein the transceiver sends and receives data wirelessly, said data including control information received from at least one of the remote devices, and wherein the processor is dynamically configured to select at least one of the one or more audio messages for playback via the speaker based on control information received from the at least one of the remote devices.

A computer program product including a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program codes embodied therein, the computer readable program codes causing a processor within a wirelessly-enabled liquid container comprising a baby bottle to:

• receive control information from a remote device via a transceiver associated with the wirelessly-enabled liquid container;
• dynamically configure the processor to select one or more audio messages for playback via a speaker associated with the wirelessly-enabled liquid container based on control information received from the remote device, the one or more audio messages being received from at least one back end server;
• sense, via the first sensor, whether the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved;
• and
• output, via the speaker, the at least one or more audio messages under the control of the processor when the first sensor senses that the wirelessly-enabled liquid container has moved.
