Application: Ordering system and weight measuring device (Patent ID: US20230245185A1)

The patent filed by Kyocera Corp. describes an ordering system that includes a weight measuring device and an ordering device. The weight measuring device is designed to measure the weight of a measurement target object and transmit the weight data to the outside. The ordering device acquires the weight data and includes a storage to store the remaining amount data of the measurement target object. The remaining amount data indicates the weight of the measurement target object after it is used or refilled. The ordering device also includes a calculator that adjusts the remaining amount data based on the weight data. If the weight data is less than the remaining amount data, the calculator adjusts the remaining amount data. However, if the weight data is more than the remaining amount data, the calculator maintains the remaining amount data. The ordering device further includes an orderer that executes processing related to ordering the measurement target object based on the remaining amount data.

The patent also describes additional features of the ordering system. Claim 2 states that the weight measuring device may include sensors to acquire information indicating the operation of the measurement target object. The transmitter in the weight measuring device transmits this information along with the weight data. The calculator in the ordering device determines whether or not to adjust the remaining amount data based on the weight data and the information indicating the use operation.

Claim 3 introduces an acceleration sensor in the weight measuring device that detects vibrations of a container holding the measurement target object. The transmitter transmits detection count data indicating the number of vibrations detected by the acceleration sensor. The calculator adjusts the remaining amount data based on the weight data when the number of detections satisfies a judgment criterion. If the number of detections does not satisfy the judgment criterion, the calculator maintains the remaining amount data.

The patent also includes claims for a weight measuring device alone. Claim 6 describes a weight measuring device that includes a weight sensor, a storage for remaining amount data, a calculator to adjust the remaining amount data based on the weight data, and an orderer to execute processing related to ordering the measurement target object based on the remaining amount data.

Overall, the patent describes an ordering system and a weight measuring device that use weight data to adjust and maintain remaining amount data of a measurement target object, enabling efficient ordering processes based on the weight measurements.
