Abstract:
Certain embodiments of the invention include a system, method, and apparatus surrounding the delivery of a filtered beverage. Certain embodiments include a filtered beverage kiosk that provides filtered and disinfected beverage. The filtered beverage kiosk includes hardware components and associated software connected to a network, where the software and hardware is controllable through the network. Certain embodiments include an RFID-tag associated with a bottle or a band, and an RFID reader and writer that accounts for the dispensing of the beverage into a receptacle. Users are able to add funds to the RFID tag, while the RFID reader and writer debits the RFID tag to account for the dispensed beverage.

Claim (Index 1):
A beverage kiosk system for dispensing a beverage comprising:\n (a) a kiosk comprising: an RFID reader/writer; a user interface having a touch screen display, the user interface configured to receive input from a user; a presence sensor configured to detect the presence of an object placed within a dispensing area; a transaction terminal, a first electrically actuated valve connected to a nozzle configured to dispense a beverage; a CPU having connection to the RFID reader/writer, the user interface, the presence monitor, the transaction terminal, and the first electrically actuated valve; the CPU having software configured to control the configuration of the first electrically actuated valve between an open and closed configuration to alternatively dispense and stop dispensing the beverage; (b) an RFID tag associated with a user's account affixed to a receptacle with a ferrite layer disposed between the RFID tag and the receptacle; and (c) an application comprising: a payment processing gateway configured to receive payment transaction data for processing payment through the gateway, wherein the application converts the payment transaction data to a stored value amount, records the stored value amount to a user's account, and wherein the RFID reader/writer reads the RFID tag and writes the stored value amount to the RFID tag, and wherein the software of the CPU compares the stored value amount on the RFID tag to value of the type and quantity of the beverage requested, and dispenses the beverage if the stored value amount is greater than or equal to the value of the type and quantity of the beverage requested.
