    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
    The invention relates to an adjustable and portable universal intelligent hydration detection device for measuring the ingestion of liquid: water and other beverages from any drinking container as well as methods which adapt to any container or to any bottle of water or other liquid beverage, allowing users to track their consumption of water or other beverages and transmits this information to an electronic network or mobile devices.
    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
    [0002] Water is essential for life because it constitutes the majority of our body weight and it plays many important functions, such as transporting nutrients, eliminating waste, regulating body temperature, helping our brain and our organs to function. Lack of water can lead to dehydration which is a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to perform normal functions. Even mild dehydration drains energy and makes the person fatigued and can pose a high health risk, especially for the elderly and the elderly.
    [0003] Despite the negative effects on health and cognitive abilities of dehydration, most adults live their daily lives in this state by not drinking enough water during the day for several reasons such as forgetfulness. , not to be thirsty, not to have frequent habit of drinking water. As they age, it seems that hydration becomes even more of a challenge and the death rates of older people can increase depending on their hydration level.
    [0004] Therefore, there is a need for a universal, portable and easy-to-use hydration tracker that can be strapped by users of different life stages to their preferred beverage containers and then received. reminders about when to drink while being able to monitor their hydration levels on their own or let others who could help encourage and support users.
    [0005] Document WO2011 / 004319 (KONINKL PHILIPS ELECTRONICS NV [NL], ZHAO YING [CN]) describes high level methods for measuring the volume of liquid in a container, but the container must be entirely constructed with such sensors and cannot be applied to any long neck water bottle or drinking vessel available to the user, leaving the user no choice. This also makes it a more complex and expensive overall solution as the drinking vessel must be built with the right physical parameters such as the level of transparency of the glass, the weight and dimensions, as well as other physical characteristics that must be calibrated. in order to carry out the appropriate measurements. It also does not provide details on how the collected data will be made available to the user and their caregivers, which is a key part of the desired behavior change.
    [0006] Documents WO2016 / 155538 (GROKING LAB LTD [CN]) and US 10,378,944 (SUN LIN [US]) also provide specially designed very complex and expensive liquid containers, which do not allow users to use the storage container. their choice and always being locked into a proprietary solution.
    [0007] Currently, there is an intelligent hydration monitoring device marketed under the name H2Opal® which tracks the ingestion of liquid using sensors, but this device does not allow the user to be called back directly by the device because they need to check their smartphone to receive notifications. There are no lights, sounds or any other means on the device to remind the person when to drink, so the user is only alerted through smart phones, which makes implementation more difficult for users because they have to rely on two devices to maintain their consumption goals. In addition, the H2OPal® tracking device can only be attached to bottles of fixed dimensions and weights, which limits the use by users of generic bottles and also the use of other liquid containers such as bottles. soda cans and bottles of different shapes. In addition, H2OPal® does not work for car cup holders, which limits its use. In addition, H2OPal® only works in tandem with a smartphone, preventing users without smartphones from being able to track their consumption and not allowing remote monitoring. Users still need to have their smartphones turned on and within network range for information to flow to applications to monitor and track hydration progress and provide support to those receiving care. Finally, H2OPal® is not washable, which causes additional hygiene and visual problems. H2OPal® is only marketed with its own bottle, which limits its use, moreover it is not suitable for working with carbonated drinks.

    As discussed above, the invention is comprised of a universal adjustable intelligent tracking device that the user can attach to any generic liquid bottle such as water bottles, soda bottles. , cans or any other beverage container and the user or their family can track their hydration progress.
    [0036] The user can attach the device to the bottle, using an adjustable sleeve and the device begins to notify the user via sounds and lights on the device of the drinking time that he has preset on a web portal or mobile application.
    [0037] The device records each time the user drinks and the amount of liquid ingested using the motion and weight sensors as well as algorithms, so that the user does not need to modify his behavior and n do not need additional actions. The user just needs to drink from the liquid container and the device will perform the measurements, calculations, record the information and transmit it to the network or communication devices.

    The user and / or selected authorized persons such as family members, caregivers or friends will be able to monitor their daily hydration monitoring on the web portal and / or on mobile applications. They will also receive alerts in case the user misses a certain number of preset hours of drinking.
    [0040] One embodiment of the invention is the universal adjustable intelligent hydration tracking device (100) as shown in FIGURE 1, composed of sensors and electronic circuits for accurately measuring, recording and transmitting data. fluid consumption events and user ingestion amounts.
    The universal adjustable intelligent hydration tracker (100) is comprised of a device base (102) with electronic circuitry and sensors as depicted in FIGURE 4, such as: a processing module (110 ), motion sensor (111), weight sensor (112), low signal amplifiers (113, 115, 117), memory (120), speakers (103), LED indicators (104 ), a Wi-Fi transmitter (118), a Bluetooth® transmitter (119), a battery (121) and power circuits (122).
    [0042] The user attaches the device base (102) using the adjustable flexible sleeve (101) which the user can easily open and attach to any drinking container (200) of their choice (bottle of water, cans, cups, etc.), as shown in FIGURE 1.
    [0043] When using the drinking vessel for the first time, the user can perform an empty weight calibration, for this, the user will press the reset button (105) (see FIGURE 3) and keep it pressed for 10 seconds until the user sees the LED indicators (104) flashing.
    Next, the user places the container on the device base (102) placed on a flat surface and waits for the LEDs (104) to start flashing, then the weight sensor (112) (see FIGURE 4) will finalize the measurement of the weight of the empty container. This information is then recorded in the memory (120) with the date and time of the operation.
    [0045] Then, the user fills the drinking container to the maximum capacity with water or any other drink of his choice, and replaces the container on a flat surface.
    The weight sensor (112) automatically calculates the maximum empty weight, thanks to a pressure exerted on the sensor and will save it in the memory (120) and the LEDs (104) will stop flashing.
    This information is recorded in the memory (120) with the date and time of the operation and the calibration of the weight is then finalized. From there the user can start drinking from the container and continue to fill it with their favorite drinks.
    [0048] Alternatively, the device can automatically calibrate by detecting the movement of the weight and the first sip and thus will calculate it automatically using the “calibration by sip” algorithm.
    Whenever the user tilts the drinking vessel, the motion sensor (111) identifies the movement and activates the weight sensor (112) to measure the amount of liquid ingested, the LED lights (104) flash to inform the user of the operation and the consumption will be recorded with the date and time and the amount of liquid ingested.
    For each consumption or filling event, all the measurements made by the motion sensor (111) and collected by the weight sensor (112) are recorded in the memory (120) and then transmitted to the network or to the telephone smart phone using the Wi-Fi transmitter (118) or alternatively to the smartphone via the Bluetooth® transmitter (119).
    [0051] The user can access a web portal or a mobile application to view the tracking events. The user can also set the alarm configuration, notifications for the device which are received by the Wi-Fi transmitter (118) or the Bluetooth® transmitter (119) and stored in the memory (120).
    On the portal / mobile application, users can configure their device with the identification number provided on the device, the time interval at which they wish to be reminded of the ingestion of liquid, a time limit for alert or warn users if no liquid has been ingested. The user can also set the details and preferences for notifications, for example what are the preferred means of communication (by email, SMS, WhatsApp, WeChat, voice call, Line, and others) and who should be notified. and its contact details (e.g. email address, cell phone number, WeChat ID, etc.).
    The user can also choose whether he wants a sound to be emitted on the speakers (103), that is to say which is the preferred sound to play or a light.
    This information is transmitted to the smart device during the next connection and is stored in the device memory (120).
    The automatic processing routines stored on the processing module (110) are executed every second by checking the configurations and the historical data stored on the memory (120) then the processing module (110) executes the notification and the alerts by flashing LED indicators (104) or playing a sound on the speakers (103), at the correct intervals.
    When the time set for the notification of the missing liquid ingestion has been reached, the LEDs (104) flash and, if activated, the selected sound is emitted on the speakers of the device ( 103) and information is sent to the network to notify the selected users.
    The user can adjust the speaker volume using the speaker volume control (106) located on the bottom of the device.
    According to one embodiment of the invention, the user can see a different color of the LED indicators (104) when the battery is low, so that the user can replace the battery cell by opening the cover of the battery. living area battery (107) on the lower part of the device.
    A method is also provided for identifying the ingestion of liquid and the measurements of the ingested quantity of a subject or of a user. The main steps of this process are as follows where:each time the user manipulates the bottle, the motion sensors calculate the tilt angle of the bottle and the time at which it is held in this position,whenever the tilt angle is less than or greater than the ingestion angle range, the movement is not considered appropriate liquid ingestion, as it can only be the result of manipulation events , transport, cleaning or filling,whenever the bottle is lifted and the tilt angle reaches the ingestion angle range and is maintained for a defined minimum time, it is considered a liquid ingestion event.
    [0060] Then, when the bottle is returned to the rest position on a flat surface, the weight sensor is activated to calculate the amount of liquid ingested, based on the comparison between the previous weight of the bottle and the new weight. . If the weight of the bottle has decreased, the system calculates the amount of liquid ingested. If the weight has been increased, a filling activity is recorded and the counters are reset.
    [0061] According to another embodiment, users using the app can adjust the amount of liquid that has been drunk, in case the user uses a straw or other means of drinking without tilting the bottle. .
    Whenever the universal adjustable smart hydration tracker is placed on a different or new / new bottle or container (e.g. a new soda can), the tracker calculates and recalibrates the one. - here using the “sip” calibration mode by checking the weight of the bottle against the orders recorded.
    In addition, the universal adjustable intelligent hydration tracking device of the invention can be used for other applications beyond hydration. For example, by using its sensors and components and its methods of manipulation and interaction with physical objects where the tracking device can be attached, it is also suitable for:monitor whether a person has eaten by applying the tracking device to a food container (e.g. a plate), or tomonitor whether the person has handled an object by attaching the sensor to it (eg drawers, refrigerators, doors, caps, boxes).
