Abstract
Systems and methods for sharing data about the contents of storage bags or containers with external devices are described herein. In several embodiments, a food storage system can operate to track/record data about the contents in multiple storage bags and to allow for the identification of the contents in the storage bags based on a unique identifier associated with the storage bags. In some embodiments, the food storage system can provide reminders, recommendations, or other prompts regarding the contents in the storage bags.
Claims34
A food storage system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user device, data related to a storage bag that uniquely identifies the storage bag;
- receive, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage bag;
- associate the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- generate a notification based on the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- and
- send the notification to the user device.
A method for operating a food storage system, wherein the method includes:
- receiving, from a user device, data related to a storage bag that uniquely identifies the storage bag;
- receiving, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage bag;
- associating the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- generating a notification based on the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- and
- sending the notification to the user device.
One or more non-transitory processor-readable mediums storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user device, data related to a storage bag that uniquely identifies the storage bag;
- receive, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage bag;
- associating the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- generate a notification based on the data related to the contents of the storage bag;
- and
- send the notification to the user device.
A food storage system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- at least one non-transitory processor-readable medium storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user device, data related to a storage container that uniquely identifies the storage container, wherein the data that uniquely identifies the storage container is obtained from at least one machine-readable symbol printed on the storage container or printed on a label affixed to the storage container;
- receive, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage container;
- and associate the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage container.
A method of operating a food storage system, comprising steps of:
- receiving, from a user device, data related to a storage container that uniquely identifies the storage container, wherein the data that uniquely identifies the storage container is obtained from at least one machine-readable symbol printed on the storage container or printed on a label affixed to the storage container;
- receiving, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage container;
- and
- associating the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage container.
One or more non-transitory processor-readable mediums storing processor-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, configure the at least one processor to:
- receive, from a user device, data related to a storage container that uniquely identifies the storage container, wherein the data that uniquely identifies the storage container is obtained from at least one machine-readable symbol printed on the storage container or printed on a label affixed to the storage container;
- receive, from the user device, data related to contents of the storage container;
- and
- associate the data related to the storage bag with the data related to the contents of the storage container.
