INTELLIGENT CONTAINERS (VARIANTS) Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A47G19/22 

FIELD: intelligent containers.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to variants of an intelligent container. The intelligent container contains a body, a lid attached to the body. The lid contains a valve movable between an open position and a closed position. The intelligent container further comprises an actuating element configured to move the valve between an open position and a closed position, a plurality of sensors containing a number of capacitive sensors forming concentric rings of sensors configured to register contact with the body or cover, and a control circuit connected with the possibility of communication with many sensors and an actuating element. The control circuit is configured to receive a signal from a plurality of sensors indicative of a certain state. The defined state involves contacting the sensor rings and sending a signal to the actuator when the defined state corresponds to the open state. A defined state corresponds to an open state when contact with the sensor rings corresponds to intentional contact.

EFFECT: inventions provide for the collection of data regarding the use of the container and provide the functionality of these containers required for the user.
