Abstract: A smart pantry system is able to build a data store of the food items that a user or household has on hand, and maintain the data store in light of corroborated point of consumption (POC) data. The data store may also include information about those food items, such as names of food items, brands of food items, number of units of food items, quantity of food items, expiration dates, dates that food items were purchased, nutrition information, etc. The system may also leverage the data store to provide recipe recommendations and/or notifications to a user.

Abstract: A consumption capture system is able to detect and verify point of consumption data for acquired goods, and generate consumption profiles for individual or groups of goods. A consumption profile may describe information associated with consumption events that have been corroborated by one or more of recipe information, user input, sensor data, account information, etc. The consumption capture system may verify the occurrence of a consumption event using data from sensors incorporated into kitchen appliances, storage pantries, etc., and may use the data and acquire other data to build a set of information that describes details about the consumption event. In this way, the consumption profiles comprise verified insight into how individual goods are consumed once they are obtained by a customer. Such verified consumption histories allow both customers and merchants to gain insight into the consumption histories of goods.

Abstract: A system and method directed to the guided processing of recipes distributed by a server to a local store environment is described. A recipe may include at least two ingredients and recipe actions. A computing device may include a recipe processing application that generates a display on a user interface. The display including data associated with one or more portions of or a full control panel of an appliance (or multiple appliances) that processes the recipes is provided. The associated data presented on the user interfaces may or may not be operable to receive data in the same manner as the control panel on the appliance(s).

Abstract: A system and method directed to the partial or full automation of recipe processing by an appliance is described. A recipe may include one or more of at least a portion of operating code, one or more appliance operation(s) or one or more action(s) to initiate operation of the appliance. A computing device may include a recipe processing application that generates a display on a user interface. The display may include one or more indications of the partial or full automation of appliance operations for processing recipe ingredients. The appliance is a blender in one example, and the appliance operations are for processing the recipe ingredients by the blender.

Abstract: This system describe relates to a smart pantry system that is able to determine when a food item stored in a pantry of a user has expired or is about to expire. The system may also predict an estimated time at which a food item is going to be fully consumed, and then provide alerts and/or recipe recommendations to assist the user in consuming the food item before its expiration date. The smart pantry system may estimate the time at which the food item is going to be fully consumed based on verified consumption events of the food item. A verified consumption event corresponds to a consumption event for which the smart pantry system has obtained corroborating data that verifies the consumption of the food item. For example, a verified consumption event may be corroborated in light of corroborated point of consumption (POC) data.

Abstract: A beverage coaster includes integrated electronics, such as a power system, a load cell, an analog to digital converter and a wireless transceiver. The beverage coaster communicates with a computing device to send information, such as a first weight, a second weight, and a third weight of objects placed on the beverage coaster. The first weight may be associated with a container, a second weight may be associated with a first ingredient, and the third weight may be associated with a second ingredient. The computing device is configured to display information related to the first, second, and third weights and provide instructions to a user thereof for maintaining proper proportions of the first and second ingredients as the user adds them to the container.

Abstract: A system and method for assisting a user in assembling a culinary combination according to a recipe. The system comprises a scale and a computing device configured to communicate with the scale. The system displays information regarding ingredients of the recipe and displays a progress of assembling the culinary combination based on the information from the scale. In some embodiments, a bar graph is displayed with a bar proportional to the measured amount of an ingredient of the recipe compared to a target amount for the ingredient. In some embodiments, the system displays a build column of one or more recipe blocks, representing actions or ingredients of the recipe. An active recipe block is displayed with a portion of the recipe block displayed in a different manner in proportion to the measured amount of an ingredient of the recipe compared to a target amount for the ingredient.

Abstract: A system and method directed to the dynamic processing of simple ingredients in recipes is described. Simple ingredients are defined and precision measurement of simple ingredients based on a smart scale is provided. The use of the measurement as feedback to count individual measurement units of simple ingredients and to associate a weight with the simple ingredients supports an improved level of accuracy in assessing macro and micro nutrient data for recipes and ingredients.
