Abstract
A Wi-Fi connected wine preservation and optimization system, device and method. The system offers preservation by the minimization and/or elimination of oxygen, temperature control, inventory tracking, monitoring and reordering through user terminals such as e.g., a Wi-Fi connected tablet (e.g., iPad), smart phones, computers, etc. The data aggregated will be available on a subscription basis available for purchase by the trade, retailers, producers and distributors to enable strong controls on production and inventory resulting in higher profits and lower waste.
Claims18
A liquid dispensing system comprising:
- a housing comprising a dispenser;
- a first subsystem within the housing and adapted to accept at least one vessel comprising a liquid to be dispensed;
- a second subsystem within the housing and adapted to connect the at least one vessel to the dispenser and to provide the liquid from the at least one vessel to the dispenser when the dispenser is activated;
- a third subsystem within the housing and adapted to monitor a status of the liquid from the at least one vessel and to output the status;
- and
- a fourth subsystem within the housing and adapted to determine a desired temperature for the liquid from the at least one vessel,
- wherein the second subsystem comprises means for heating or cooling the liquid from the at least one vessel to the desired temperature.
A liquid dispensing system comprising:
- a housing comprising a dispenser;
- a first subsystem within the housing and adapted to accept at least one vessel comprising a liquid to be dispensed;
- a second subsystem within the housing and adapted to connect the at least one vessel to the dispenser and to provide the liquid from the at least one vessel to the dispenser when the dispenser is activated;
- and
- a third subsystem within the housing and adapted to monitor a status of the liquid from the at least one vessel and to output the status,
- wherein the second subsystem comprises a gas propulsion mechanism adapted to pump the liquid from the at least one vessel.
A liquid dispensing system comprising:
- a housing comprising a dispenser with first and second pour spouts;
- a first subsystem within the housing and adapted to accept first and second vessels respectively comprising first and second liquids to be dispensed;
- a second subsystem within the housing and adapted to connect the first vessel to the first pour spout of the dispenser and to connect the second vessel to the second pour spout of the dispenser, the second subsystem being adapted to provide the first liquid from the first vessel to the first pour spout and to provide the second liquid from the second vessel to the second pour spout;
- a third subsystem within the housing and adapted to monitor a status of the first and second liquids and to output the status of the first and second liquids;
- and
- a fourth subsystem within the housing and adapted to determine a respective desired temperature for the first and second liquids,
- wherein the second subsystem comprises means for heating or cooling the first and second liquids to the respective desired temperatures.
