Abstract
A blending system is provided for contextual blending. The blending system may include an ingredient component and a recipe component. The ingredient component may identify ingredients and determine a quantity of each type of ingredient. The recipe component may create a recipe based on the identified ingredients and the determined quantities of the ingredients. The recipe may include instructions for controlling a blender device.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- identifying, by a system comprising a hardware processor, an ingredient associated with a set of ingredients to be blended;
- analyzing, by the system, the set of ingredients and data describing a blending preference;
- and
- determining, by the system, parameters for operation of a blending device based at least in part on the analyzing the set of ingredients and the data describing the blending preference.
A computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a system comprising a processor to perform operations comprising:
- identifying foodstuff to be added to a blender device;
- determining a quantity of the foodstuff;
- and
- generating a recipe based at least in part on the quantity of the foodstuff and a quantity of other foodstuff added to the blender device, wherein the recipe includes at least one instruction associated with operation of the blender device.
A blender system comprising:
- a base;
- a container selectively attached with the base;
- a blending mechanism positioned in the container;
- a memory;
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of at least one instruction to operate at least one of the blending mechanism or the container;
- and
- an identification device configured to identity an ingredient being added to a set of ingredients for blending, wherein the processor generates a blending process based at least in part on the set of ingredients.
A blender system comprising:
- a base;
- a container selectively attached with the base;
- a blending mechanism in operative communication with the container;
- a memory storing at least one recipe;
- a processor, communicatively coupled to the memory, that facilitates execution of at least one instruction to operate at least one of the blending mechanism and the container;
- and
- a communication device on the container and communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the communication device provides feedback to the processor regarding an operation of at least one of the blending mechanism or the container.
