Abstract
With conventional techniques, it has not been possible to produce a contained beverage to which a design is applied using design information transmitted from an external source such as a terminal apparatus 3. It is possible to produce a contained beverage to which a design is applied using design information transmitted from an external source, using a beverage production apparatus 1 including: a design receiving unit 121 configured to receive design information transmitted from the terminal apparatus 3; and a design application unit 133 that applies a design to the contained beverage, using the design information.
Claims17
A beverage production apparatus comprising:
- a design receiving unit configured to receive design information transmitted from a terminal apparatus;
- and
- a design application unit configured to apply a design to a contained beverage, using the design information.
A server comprising:
- a first server receiving unit configured to receive design information from a terminal apparatus;
- a first server accumulation unit configured to accumulate the design information in a storage unit in which design-related information that includes design information is stored, in a pair with a design identifier that identifies the design information, in association with a design identifier that identifies design information that is a basis for a design to be applied to a contained beverage;
- a second server receiving unit configured to receive a design identifier that identifies design information to be transmitted to a beverage production apparatus;
- a first server acquisition unit configured to acquire design information that is identified by the design identifier received by the second server receiving unit, from the storage unit;
- and
- a first server transmitting unit configured to transmit the design information acquired by the first server acquisition unit.
A beverage production method realized using a design receiving unit and a design application unit, the beverage production method comprising:
- a receiving step in which the design receiving unit receives design information transmitted from a terminal apparatus;
- and
- a design application step in which the design application unit applies a design to a contained beverage, using the design information.
An information processing method realized using a server storage unit in which design-related information that includes design information is stored in association with a design identifier that identifies design information that is a basis for a design to be applied to a contained beverage, a first server receiving unit, a first server accumulation unit, a second server receiving unit, a first server acquisition unit, and a first server transmitting unit, the information processing method comprising:
- a first server receiving step in which the first server receiving unit receives design information from a terminal apparatus;
- a first server accumulation step in which the first server accumulation unit accumulates the design information in the server storage unit in a pair with a design identifier that identifies the design information;
- a second server receiving step in which the second server receiving unit receives a design identifier that identifies design information to be transmitted to a beverage production apparatus;
- a first server acquisition step in which the first server acquisition unit acquires design information that is identified by the design identifier received in the second server receiving step, from the server storage unit;
- and
- a first server transmitting step in which the first server transmitting unit transmits the design information acquired in the first server acquisition step.
