Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a smart bottle and a method of controlling the same. The smart bottle includes a bottle for containing liquid and a base that is disposed under the bottle and includes an elastic body that is elastically deformed by the weight of the bottle and the base, a weight measurement sensor disposed above the elastic body and measuring the weight of the bottle by measuring a pressure that the elastic body transfers in a vertical direction from the ground as a reaction to gravity, and a controller that measures the amount of fed milk based on the change in the weight measured by the weight measurement sensor.
Claims14
An apparatus comprising:
- a bottle for containing liquid;
- and
- a base disposed under the bottle,
- wherein the base includes:
- an elastic body that is elastically deformed by the weight of the bottle and the base;
- a weight measurement sensor disposed above the elastic body and measuring the weight of the bottle by measuring a pressure that the elastic body transfers in a vertical direction from the ground as a reaction to gravity;
- and
- a controller that measures the amount of fed milk based on the change in the weight measured by the weight measurement sensor.
A method of operating an apparatus configured to be engageable on one side of a bottle, comprising:
- determining whether the bottle is empty by measuring the weight of liquid contained in the bottle;
- determining whether a lid of the bottle is open;
- and
- determining that preparation for formula milk has started when the lid is open while the bottle is empty.
