Abstract:
A wireless drink container can monitor a person's hydration and prompt him or her to drink more if appropriate. The drink containers as described herein can monitor liquid levels and communicate with external devices about the liquid levels and rate of consumption. One or more sensors in the drink container monitor the liquid level within the container. A processor coupled to the sensor(s) estimates how much liquid has been removed from the container from changes in the liquid level and transmits a signal representing the change in liquid level to a smartphone or other external device. It also triggers an audio or visual indicator, such as an LED, that prompts the user to drink more based on the user's estimated liquid consumption and on the user's liquid consumption goals, which may be based on the user's physiology, activity level, and location.

Claim (Index 35):
A fluid consumption monitoring system comprising:\n a housing configured to couple with a beverage container; a substrate coupled to the housing and configured to extend at least partway into a cavity defined by the container; a liquid level sensor, disposed on the substrate, configured to measure a level of the liquid within the cavity of the container; an accelerometer coupled to the housing and mechanically couplable to the container when the housing is coupled to the container, the accelerometer configured to measure an acceleration of the container; a processor, operably coupled to the accelerometer and the liquid level sensor, to (i) periodically determine an orientation of the container based on acceleration measured by the accelerometer and (ii) periodically determine a change in the level of the liquid in the cavity based on the level of the liquid measured by the liquid level sensor and the orientation of the container; and a light source, disposed on the substrate and operably coupled to the processor, the light source configured to be disposed within the cavity of the container when the housing is coupled to the container, the light source configured to emit light to provide a visual indication prompting a user to drink from the container.
