Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for quantity analysis. A quantity identification of an amount of content included in a container is received from a container cover of the container. The quantity identification is analyzed along with a history of past quantity identifications received from the container cover over time to determine an analysis result. An action associated with the content of the container is performed based on the analysis result. A system and method are disclosed that include one or more devices that help users track remaining quantity and expiration of food (e.g., including beverages).

Abstract: An event identifier is received. The event identifier identifies an amount of content dispensed from a container detected using a sensor device that includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal and a receiver configured to receive the interrogation signal that has been reflected within the container. A transaction identifier of a transaction associated with quantities of different component ingredient items is received. The amount of content dispensed from the container is automatically correlated with the transaction at least in part by matching the amount of content dispensed from the container with at least one of the component ingredient items associated with the transaction.

Abstract: A measurement device includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal. The measurement device also includes a receiver configured to receive the interrogation signal that has been reflected within a container. The received reflected interrogation signal corresponds to a fill level of the container. A protective barrier covers at least the transmitter or the receiver. If the protective barrier covers the transmitter, the transmitter transmits the interrogation signal through the protective barrier and the transmitter and the protective barrier are separated by a gap.

Abstract: An identity of a container coupled to a content level sensor device is received. A plurality of signal parameters associated with the container is identified. The signal parameters are transmitted to the content level sensor device, wherein the signal parameters are indexed according to a level of content in the container.

Abstract: A sensor device is utilized to perform a first measurement of a first content fill level of a first container at a first instance. The same sensor device is utilized to perform a second measurement of a second content fill level of a second container at a second instance. Based at least in part on an analysis of both the first measurement and the second measurement, it is automatically identified that the sensor device has been moved from the first container to the second container. Based at least in part on the identification, an inventory record tracking a number of remaining full containers is automatically updated.

Abstract: A device includes a coupling component configured to be coupled to a moveable component of a content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a sensor configured to detect movement of the content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a processor configured to, based at least in part on the detected movement of the content dispensing mechanism, determine one or more values corresponding to an amount of content dispensed by the content dispensing mechanism. The device includes a wireless signal transmitter configured to report the one or more values corresponding to the amount of content dispensed by the content dispensing mechanism.

Abstract: A measurement device includes a sensor configured to detect triggering of the device. The measurement device further includes a transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal in response to the triggering of the device, and a receiver configured to detect a received signal that captures one or more reflections of the interrogation signal. A processor of the measurement device is configured to select a selected reflection among a plurality of identified potential reflections captured in the received signal, and provide an identifier corresponding to the selected reflection that is associated with an amount of content included in a container engaged by the content measurement device.

Abstract: A sensor device includes an interrogation signal transmitter configured to transmit an interrogation signal to determine an identifier associated with an amount of content included in a container engaged by the sensor device. The interrogation signal transmitter is configured to transmit the interrogation signal that travels through air included in the container to reflect off the content in the container.

Abstract: An indication of a level of content within a container is received. A depth value associated with the indication of the level of content is identified. A content amount value corresponding to the depth value using a predetermined relationship between the depth value and the content amount value is retrieved. An indication associated with the content amount value is provided.
