Publication number: 20230172388Abstract: An apparatus and method for sharing capsule image data and beverage preparation parameters, from one or more beverage preparation machines with a remote computer system via a network, such as the Internet, is disclosed. The remote computer system may process the capsule image data to determine characteristics of the capsule (e.g., a type of capsule, such as a brand, or beverage ingredients in the capsule), thereby relieving the beverage preparation from having to determine information about the capsule. The remote computer may track a user's consumption of capsules, may compare this value to the user's past capsule purchase history, and may determine if the user's supply of capsules is below a threshold value (e.g., below a week's worth of capsules).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 10, 2022Publication date: June 8, 2023Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Ian Tinkler, Jianming Huang, Kevin William Hartley, Cameron McLeod, Samuel Ross Rulli, Nicholas George Ioannidis, James K. Lynch, Brian David Rheaume, Jeffrey Sol Hadden, Philip Ross Hadley, Yvona Hlobilova

Publication number: 20220338669Abstract: A beverage forming system having a controller arranged to adjust at least one of a set of brew parameters in response to a failure to identify a characteristic of a capsule to be used to form a beverage. An adjusted brew parameter may be a configuration-type parameter that is generally has a fixed value for all or most beverage dispensing operations, or a beverage-specific parameter that may be user-adjusted for each beverage dispensing operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 22, 2020Publication date: October 27, 2022Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Sol Hadden, Mustafa Kamal Ahmed, Jason Lavene

Publication number: 20220330744Abstract: A beverage forming system having a controller arranged to provide a user interface with a user-adjustable indication of at least one brew parameter and to receive a command from a user to adjust the at least one brew parameter. The user-adjustable indication may include a slider track extending between the maximum and minimum values for a brew parameter and a slider element movable along the slider track where a position of the slider element on the slider track indicates a set value for the brew parameter. The controller may limit a command from the user to adjust the brew parameter to be between a minimum value for the brew parameter and a limited value that is below a maximum value for the brew parameter, or between a limited value that is above the minimum value and the maximum value for the brew parameter.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2020Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Sol Hadden, Lisa Fortini Watts, Mustafa Kamal Ahmed, Haniel Olivera, Ilya Tatar

Publication number: 20220313008Abstract: A beverage forming system in which a user interface is adapted to allow a user to control multiple different beverage machines that have different capabilities. A user may be associated with a plurality of different machines, and the user interface may be adapted to adjust display of information to the user and adjust options for controlling operation of a beverage machine based on the set of capabilities of the beverage machine. In some cases, only those stored sets of brew parameters that are compatible with a beverage machine may be displayed for user selection.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 21, 2020Publication date: October 6, 2022Applicant: Keurig Green Mountain, Inc.Inventors: Jeffrey Sol Hadden, Sujatha Kapoor, Philip Ross Hadley
