    Invention Patent Descriptive Report for METHOD TO PROVIDE INFORMATION TO A CAPSULE USER FOR THE PREPARATION OF A DRINK USING A CODE AND SYSTEM TO PREPARE A DRINK FROM A CAPSULE.
    FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to a method for providing information to a user of a capsule for the preparation of a beverage in a beverage dispensing device using a code such as an identification code on the capsule.
    BACKGROUND [0002] Capsule systems comprising an identification code to adjust parameters in a beverage production machine have previously been proposed. For example, capsules or cartridges containing coffee, milk, chocolate, tea or a combination of these ingredients are used in specifically designed machines in which water is fed under pressure into the capsule that interacts with the ingredients to prepare a drink. Such machines can operate at different pressures.
    [0003] WO02 / 28241 describes a cartridge for the preparation of hot or cold drinks in which the package includes an interpretable machine characteristic that can be interpreted to direct the beverage production device to employ specific decoction operation for decoction packaging. particular.
    [0004] WO02 / 074144 describes a beverage decoction system comprising a beverage decoction device for recognizing the presence, type and / or capabilities of the beverage production device inserted in the system.
    [0005] WO02 / 078498, a machine-readable identifier is provided in a portion package, which contains ground coffee, for machine
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 6/35
    2/22 of espresso coffee in a rotationally symmetrical manner, thereby allowing it to be easily readable, on an essentially flat surface of the portion package. The portion pack is preferably a portion of the capsule with an essentially round bottom to which the identifier is coaxially applied. One problem is that reading the code requires the capsule to be read throughout the long movement path that forces the capsule to be moved to perform the reading. Furthermore, the surface on which the code is printed is not typically flat, but is preferably convex due to the internal gas pressure in the capsule. As a result, the code can be distorted and its reading negatively affected. Finally, the code contains a limited amount of information, making this solution not very attractive.
    [0006] In order to solve the problems of the code printed on flexible surfaces, as in WO02 / 078498, attempts were made to flatten the surface through mechanical elements such as in EP1593329. However, such a method can cause the capsule to rupture and will cause mechanical rubbing on the device that is not desirable or even accidental tearing of the package.
    [0007] EP1440640 describes a method of preparing at least one beverage variation comprising different steps including inserting at least one beverage cartridge, operating a user interface to initiate an operating cycle, creating a specific decoction cycle based on traditional barcode, pass aqueous medium through the beverage cartridge to produce a beverage in which the temperature, pre-humidity, volume flow rate and air purge of the aqueous medium are adjusted based on the code, provide cartridge extractor device sure to provide foaming of the drink.
    [0008] The solutions are also to replace the code
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 7/35
    3/22 optical by a radio frequency code as in EP1715778. However, this technology remains expensive for disposable containers such as beverage capsules.
    [0009] WO 2009007292 describes a method of a reading device in an apparatus for preparing drinks to register an image of a one-dimensional or multidimensional pattern on a drink or service disc that is inserted into an open decoction chamber of the apparatus and, before the start of operation or service preparation, it is switched from a loading position to a closing position via intermediate positions in a closed position of the decoction chamber. It is developed through the fact that the reading device is activated before the decoction chamber is closed, with the result that at least one image of the pattern is recorded before the closing position is reached. The problem here comes from the complexity of image processing, in particular, from the comparison of different images, which is necessary.
    [0010] In general, prior art systems suffer from the problem of limited communication with the device and / or the user. In the prior art, the code is essentially used to adjust the decoction parameters of the beverage production device. There is a need for improved communication both during and outside the preparation of the drink.
    [0011] Furthermore, the prior art also suffers from the problem of a reliable reading of the capsule identification code. Attempts have been made to improve identification, but most solutions are complicated to implement and / or provide other problems.
    [0012] Generally, the capsule must be oriented or inserted into the beverage device in a precise manner to ensure the correct reading of an optical bar code on the machine. For example, in
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 8/35
    4/22
    EP1440640, the capsule must be placed in a simple precise orientation on the capsule holder to allow reading by a capsule recognition device (see figure 40). Therefore, there are clear limitations to the possible automation of the beverage production device, in particular, if several capsules need to be read sequentially in the device.
    SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0013] The present invention alleviates the problems of the prior art system by providing a simple, reliable and economical solution for identifying the capsule, communication information and setting parameters that can also be implemented in any beverage production device, including in a high productivity automated device, where it is essential to reliably identify capsules inserted in that place, such as when preparing multi-component drinks from several capsules. The invention also provides solutions to improve communication with the user during and / or outside the beverage preparation periods.
    [0014] The invention further relates to a method for providing information to a user of a capsule for the preparation of a beverage in a beverage production device comprising providing a capsule with a two-dimensional barcode on it, capturing at least one image of the barcode via a digital camera and show decoded information of said image on a display.
    [0015] In particular, the digital camera can be part of the beverage production device. In another mode, the decoded information is configured to be displayed on a digital camera from a portable telecommunication terminal. For this, one or more programs are provided on the handheld terminal allowing decoded information of the code to be displayed in a comprehensive way for the user in the
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 9/35
    5/22 display.
    [0016] The displayed information includes targeted information and / or a web address. As targeted information, information is essentially obtained directly from data contained in the bar code such as product information, decoction parameters or user instructions.
    [0017] In the proposed method, an operation may consist of selecting data from the data set contained in the code before displaying said information.
    [0018] In a possible mode, the information displayed is an image of the code. In that case, the image is preferably obtained from a digital camera of the beverage production device. The code image can then be captured by a second digital camera, preferably from a portable telecommunication terminal.
    [0019] The method may also comprise displaying user information stimulus to follow relevant instructions for the preparation of the drink. In particular, the instructions comprise inserting a capsule into the beverage production device and / or waiting for the delivery of a beverage component.
    [0020] In the method of the invention, the decoded information displayed can include stimulating user information to access a website or automatically directing him to a website.
    [0021] In the proposed method, the capsule preferably comprises a two-dimensional bar code, preferably in a central location on a sealing membrane.
    [0022] More particularly, the capsule of the invention comprises:
    a body comprising at least one compartment for receiving said beverage ingredients and a flange-like rim extending outwardly and transversely to a central axis (I) of said body;
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 10/35
    6/22 a membrane to close the opening that is sealed in the flange-like rim, an optical code containing binary information configured to be read by a camera of a beverage production device, where the optical code is a bar code bidimensional having rectilinear edges and which is described in a circular area concentric with respect to the center (O) of the membrane having a radius smaller than the radius of the membrane.
    [0023] The capsule of the invention provides several advantages.
    [0024] First of all, the capsule no longer requires to be specifically inserted in a predetermined orientation in the capsule carrier or carrier to ensure proper detection.
    [0025] A degree of freedom is given as for the orientation of the capsule with respect to its central axis. This makes it extremely easy to insert the capsule into the device. Second, in particular, due to its small size, the code can be identified without flattening the package and without necessarily moving the device with respect to the capsule (or vice versa) for reading the code. For this reason, the code can be read while the capsule is in a static position, thereby producing the simplest and most reliable device. Furthermore, the visual properties of the capsule, such as a brand, color, labeling, etc., are not much affected when compared to prior art solutions.
    [0026] Third, the two-dimensional code contains more information than the typical optical code, thus offering a wider choice of parameterization and improved communication.
    [0027] Preferably, the two-dimensional barcode is inscribed in a circular area with a radius less than 15 mm, preferably less than 13 mm. As a result, reading the capsule can
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 11/35
    7/22 be performed while the capsule is static and the camera is placed relatively close to the capsule, therefore, affecting neither the simplicity nor compactness of the device. In addition, the two-dimensional code is placed between at least one opaque inner layer and a transparent outer layer of the membrane. As a result, the code is protected from external physical and / or chemical attacks, but it also provides enough contrast to be read despite its small size.
    [0028] The two-dimensional bar code comprises information in binary format including: product information, authentication data, decoction parameter settings, URL and their combinations. [0029] The capsule system of the invention for preparing a capsule drink comprises:
    a beverage production device comprising a capsule handling device including a capsule holder, in that place and an identification and control device, wherein the identification and control device comprises a digital camera positioned in relation to the handling device and configured to capture an image of the two-dimensional code placed in the capsule and transferring said image or binary information related to it to a control unit of the identification and control device.
    [0030] Said device for identification and control may comprise a display configured to display product information in decoded form of said image or binary information.
    [0031] In a preferred mode, the system comprises a variation of capsules corresponding to different families of drinks (for example, espresso, lungo, latte macchiato, cappuccino, etc.). For at least two capsules of the variation, the code for each capsule is of a different matrix size which is adapted to encode in
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 12/35
    8/22 training related to your drinking family. The device's camera is thus also configured to read bar codes of at least two different matrix sizes to identify which beverage family the identified capsule belongs to.
    [0032] In a particular mode, the code for at least two capsules can comprise a number of bits that varies according to the number of characters in the drink name.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0035] The invention relates to a capsule containing beverage ingredients for the preparation of a beverage, by injecting liquid into the capsule and interacting the liquid with these ingredients. The drink ingredients include: roasted and ground coffee, instant coffee, leaf tea, instant tea, cocoa, dairy and non-dairy creams, chicory, vegetable or fruit extract, culinary extract and their combinations. Additives can also be added in suitable amounts such as sweeteners, flavoring agents, thickeners, edible vehicles, dyes, foaming agents, stabilizers, buffers, emulsifiers, processing aid and combinations thereof. The term “capsule” generally refers to any single-use beverage packaging that can be rigid, semi-rigid, sometimes even flexible including cartridges, pads, sachets, etc., used in a beverage production machine by injection of a liquid, usually water, under pressure and at a certain temperature (hot, cold or ambient), for interaction with ingredients contained in the packaging and for distribution of the packaging of a liquid or partially liquid product (ie, the drink). The interaction between the liquid and the ingredients can happen by extraction, dissolution, dilution, infusion, dispersion, mixing, emulsification and their combinations.
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 14/35
    10/22 [0036] Capsule 1 typically comprises a body 2 comprising at least one internal compartment for receiving the beverage ingredients. The body may be of a central axis 1 revolutionary form, such as a substantially truncated conical bowl, with a wider side and a narrower side ending in a distribution duct 3. On its wider side, the body comprises a rim similar to a flange 4 extending outwardly and transversely to the central axis 1. The body is closed by a top membrane 5 sealed in the flange-like rim 4, thereby delimiting the internal compartment with the body. Inside, the capsule may comprise means for opening a closing wall in the distribution duct, as described in patent EP1472156B1.
    [0037] With reference to figure 2, a top view of the capsule of figure 1 is shown showing the membrane 5 and its annular sealed portion 6 in the flange-like rim. The membrane is not necessarily flat. Sometimes, a gas-tight membrane shakes slightly outward due to internal gas pressure (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, etc.). The membrane comprises an axis center "O" that represents the central axis point "I" intersecting the surface of the membrane.
    [0038] As more clearly illustrated with respect to figure 2a, the membrane 5 comprises an optical DataMatrix code 7 containing binary information configured to be read by a camera of a beverage production device as will be explained. The optical code is a two-dimensional bar code having straight edges 7a, 7b, 7c, 7d. As per se known, the illustrated bar code is a matrix code made up of small square cells that represent bits "0" if the cell is light and "I" if the cell is dark or vice versa). The left edge 7a and the bottom edge 7b form an “L” shape that is known as a detector pattern and is used to locate and orient
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 15/35
    11/22 enter the code. The top edge 7c and the right edge 7d represent the time setting pattern that provides the count for the number of bits that determines the matrix size of the code. The coding for such a specific code is more specifically described in the ISO, ISO / IEC 16022 standard.
    [0039] According to the invention, the optical code 7 is inscribed in a circular area 8 (illustrated by a circle in dotted lines) whose center is concentric with the center "O" of the membrane and which has a smaller "R" radius, preferably at least 1.5 times, more preferably at least twice less than the "Ro" radius of the membrane. By definition, the code is inscribed in circular area 8 when none of its angles exceeds the limits of the circular area. The “Ro” represents the radius of the entire membrane including the annular sealed portion 6.
    [0040] In the example of figure 2a, the code is formed from four edges 7a-7d of equal length making it square with four angles that intersect the limits of the circular area (that is, the circle in dotted line).
    [0041] In the example in figure 2b, the code is formed by a rectangular polygon with four angles that intersect the limit of the circular area. In this way, the longest sides of the rectangular code intersect the boundary of the circular area (that is, the circle in a dotted line).
    [0042] In the example in figure 2c, the code is formed from a square code that is decentralized with respect to the center “O”, but still inscribed in a circular area whose center is concentric with the center “O” of the membrane. In particular, a single angle of the square code intersects the boundary of the circular area (that is, the circle in a dotted line).
    [0043] In the example in figure 2d, the code is formed by a rectangular code that is decentralized with respect to the “O”, but still inscribed in a circular area whose center is concentric with the “O” center of the
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 16/35
    12/22 membrane. In particular, a single angle of the rectangular code intersects the boundary of the circular area (that is, the circle in a dotted line). [0044] Typically, code decentralization occurs because the membrane is cut and sealed at high rates in the body after receiving the code, thus, the centralization of the membrane cannot be guaranteed during manufacture. Typically, decentralization of the code center with respect to the O center to a maximum value of about 5 mm is possible.
    [0045] In all these examples, the "R" radius of circular area 8 is much smaller than the "Ro" radius of the membrane. Therefore, the circular area determines the zone of limiting position for the code that needs to be respected to provide the advantages of the present invention, in particular, reliable detection in the entire angular position of the capsule as will be explained later. The boundaries of area 8 are only virtual (illustrated by the dotted lines) and do not need to be apparent on the capsule. Preferably, the bar code is inscribed in a circular area 8, as previously defined, with a "R" radius less than 15 mm, preferably less than 13 mm, more preferably between 3 and 11 mm. In the most preferred designs, the barcode has a surface area of less than 120 mm 2 , more preferably between 20 and 90 mm 2 . The lower limit is essentially guided by the subjections of the reading detection technology, but also by the possible visual effects of the code during printing or on the membrane.
    [0046] The invention is not necessarily limited to the DataMatrix code as illustrated, but it is applicable with any two-dimensional bar code consisting of a matrix code comprising black and white or colored modules arranged in a square or rectangular pattern and including any of the following code. The DataMatrix code, Semacode, Response code Ra
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 17/35
    13/22 pida (“QR”), Aztec code, Maxi code or EZ code. All of these codes use the same two-dimensional principles, although using different coding algorithms and different patterns of symbolic wrapping of symbols such as squares, dots, circles, etc., hidden with their images and combinations.
    [0047] The barcode is designated with a matrix size sufficient to store beverage related information (ie "product information"), parameters relevant to beverage preparation in the beverage production device, update bits, bits of error and optical reference bits. Preferably, the matrix size (i.e., serial number through the column number representing the number of bits) is comprised between 10 by 10 and 22 by 22, preferably 12 by 12 and 18 by 18.
    [0048] The barcode can be a pattern visible to the naked eye inserted in layers of the membrane 4 for the purpose of protection against scratches, hot liquid and the like. In particular, preferably, the membrane preferably comprises at least one opaque inner layer and at least one transparent or transparent layer in which the code is inserted between those two layers. For example, the barcode can be printed directly on the surface of said inner or outer layers or it can be printed on the label that is inserted between the two layers. Preferably, the opaque layer is made of a polymer selected from: PP, PE, PET and their combinations. The outer layer is preferably chosen from PET. For example, the membrane comprises two opaque layers of PP and PET of 70 and 12 microns respectively and a transparent outer layer of PET of about 10-20 microns.
    [0049] In a possible alternative, the barcode can be a pattern invisible to the naked eye, as if printed with a special ink, and readable within a specific frequency range of light such
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 18/35
    14/22 as UV. In particular, a specific invisible pattern can be used to distinguish genuine capsules from fake capsules.
    [0050] For product information, information regarding the name of the drink can be stored in the code allowing identification of the capsule. The full beverage name can therefore be made available as a binary part of the code using up to 125 bits. Other product information such as the capsule's expiration date can be stored in the code also using other bits of the code.
    [0051] The name of the drink such as an alphabetic or alphanumeric sequence ("espresso, lungo, latte macchiato, cappuccino, etc.") can thus be stored in the code in a sequence of bits. The name can then be displayed on a connected display 12 or part of the device, for example, before and / or during preparation.
    [0052] In a possible way, the 2-D barcode comprises a URL address (Uniform Resource Locator) allowing to connect the user via display and means of communication to a website, such as the capsule supplier's website. The communication medium can be a mobile telecommunication device such as a mobile phone, PDA, etc., with a digital camera function or it can be embedded in the beverage production device. For this, the beverage production device comprises a communication unit configured to access the website via an internet transmitter and an internet browser. In this way, information services such as up-to-date commercial offers, advertisements or product information can be easily displayed or capsule disposal services (for example, in a virtual storage hosted on the website) can be offered to the user via the display .
    [0053] Regarding the setting parameters of the device, the
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 19/35
    15/22 2-D barcode comprises bits to store information such as:
    - water temperature, for example, hot, warm, ambient and cold temperature,
    - volume of drink, for example, 25, 40, 110, 150, 250, 500 mL, etc.,
    - nature of the ingredients, for example, roasted and ground coffee, soluble ingredient, herbal tea, etc.,
    - operation to empty the capsule in particular for soluble ingredient,
    - type of capsule, for example, single, two in one, doppio, etc.,
    - infusion time, in particular for infusion ingredient,
    - a serial number for each capsule with reference to a database,
    - update data and their combinations.
    [0054] As illustrated in figure 3, the beverage production device comprises identification and control device of the capsule 9 whose function is to identify, adjustment parameters of the beverage production device and optionally provides information and added value services to the user such as targeted internet access. This device comprises a control unit 10, such as a central controller or several controllers, a digital camera 11, optionally, a display 12 that can be connected together or integrated into one or more units and a communication unit 19. The unit control unit 10 is considered in a general sense as including one or several units including processors, memories, programs and algorithms, input-output interfaces capable of operating the different modules and units of the identification and device
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 20/35
    16/22 control as well as the decoction system of the device such as the heater, pumps, etc. Separate control modules can be designed to isolate the communication control from the decoction system control. Programs and algorithms can include decoction applications for the camera.
    [0055] The control unit can also comprise a user interface to receive inputs such as for various choices for decoction parameters, drinks, internet communication, etc.
    [0056] The display may, for example, be an LCD or plasma screen, a touch screen, or be combined with control unit 10 and / or communication unit 19, such as in the form of a computer, a laptop, a mobile telecommunication terminal such as a mobile phone, I-pod, PDA, etc., and another equivalent communication device. The communication unit 19 can comprise, for example, an intranet connection, a wifi and / or Bluetooth, a telecommunication modem allowing communication with an external server and / or terminal.
    [0057] Camera 11 can be any input device that captures an optical image and digitizes it into an electronic image represented as binary data. The camera is designated as a digital camera typically comprising an image sensor 17 (for example, CCD), a lens and optical aperture 14 to conform, focus and sharpen the camera's image capture zone and a processor that can be associated with the camera 11 or be placed in the control unit. The camera can also be designated as a flutter-shutter camera to be able to capture an image of the barcode while the capsule is moving in the device. The camera can be designated as a scanner with the ability to move with respect to the device when reading the capsule barcode. The camera can also be portable and plugged into
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 21/35
    17/22 an allocated location of the device.
    [0058] As illustrated in figure 4, the camera is arranged with respect to the capsule so that the image capture zone of the device, illustrated by the rectangular zone 15, on the membrane of the capsule, surrounds the circular area 8 in which the code is registered, as previously defined. The image capture zone can be about 10 to 300% wider than the surface area of circular area 8 and can be any suitable polygonal zone such as rectangular, square or circular depending on the type of camera. Preferably, the camera is configured to provide an image capture zone that is wide enough to capture bar codes from different positions (centralized or decentralized with respect to “O”) of different matrix sizes and also possibly different conformations (square and rectangular). The definition of the image capture zone depends on different parameters such as the characteristics of the lens and aperture, the distance between the camera and the code, the CCD and shutter characteristics, etc. In a particular application, two barcodes of different sizes are required to produce information for different capsules corresponding to different drink families (for example, espresso, lungo, cappuccino, etc.). Larger size codes may be required when the drink name is longer or additional instructions are required for complex drink recipes.
    [0059] The beverage production system shown in the figure comprises a capsule 1, a beverage production device 20 including capsule identification and control device 9. Preferably, device 20 comprises capsule handling device 21 to make it possible to insert the capsule into the device and transport it to a liquid injection unit 22 of the device. For this, the capsule handling device comprises
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 22/35
    18/22 a gravity inserter 23, such as a slider or magazine 23, to guide the capsule in the gravity device in a capsule carrier 24. It should be understood that the gravity inserter can receive the capsule although the capsule has its top membrane substantially vertical or inclined as illustrated using a "cursor". Alternatively, the capsule can be substantially horizontal when left on the device using a tubular feeder such as a capsule selection mechanism described in EP1593326. The capsule then falls into a capsule holder 24 and can be recovered in a substantially horizontal position of its membrane as shown in figure 6. The capsule holder is associated with the transport device 25 that moves the capsule from the insertion zone to the zone where the capsule is placed below the camera 11 with the barcode facing the camera at a predefined distance. The conveying device can comprise any suitable conductor by driving the capsule carrier linearly and / or rotatingly. For example, the transport device comprises an electric motor 26 and linearly drives a belt 27 that supports the capsule carrier. When positioned below the camera 11, the transport device can be suspended to capture at least one image of the barcode 7 placed on the membrane of the capsule. Alternatively, the image capture operation can take place with a digital flutter-shutter camera while the capsule carrier is moved from the insertion zone to the liquid injection zone.
    [0060] After identification, the control unit activates the transport device 25 to move the capsule carrier in the liquid injection zone. In that zone, the device comprises liquid injection device 28 comprising a closing plate 29 and a liquid injector 30 which is engaged in the capsule, for example,
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 23/35
    19/22 by relative movement of the capsule holder and closing plate 29. When engaged, the liquid injector communicates with the capsule compartment to enable the liquid to be fed into the capsule. As known per se, the liquid injection device 28 is fluidly connected to the fluid supply device 31 including a water tank 32, a liquid metering device 33 (e.g., piston pump) to measure the appropriate volume of liquid in the capsule as a function of the identified capsule and a liquid heater 34. Typically, the liquid used to prepare the drink is water. The fluid supply device may further comprise a gas supply device 35 such as an air pump to empty the residual liquid capsule after the decoction operation. The selective activation of the supply device, in particular the liquid metering device 33, the heater and the gas supply device 35 is controlled by the identification and control device 9 according to the setting parameters of the device stored in the code.
    [0061] During the different operations, the display can be controlled to encourage the user to operate different functions and / or provide information. For example, before inserting the capsule in the beverage production device, the stimuli of the control unit, via display 12, the user to insert a capsule in the device to start the decoction operation (figure 5). A capsule presence sensor 36 of the identification and control device can check the presence of the capsule in the handling device, for example, in the cursor, tubular feeder or capsule carrier. If a capsule is detected, the transport device can be activated and / or the stimulus message to insert a capsule can be removed from the display. It should be noted that the presence detector can also be camera 11 when identifying the two-dimensional bar code.
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 24/35
    20/22 [0062] As already mentioned, after the identification of the capsule by the camera 11 (figure 3), the product information is decoded and the control unit can command a message on the display 12 regarding this product information, such as how a drink name and / or such decoded information can start a program by displaying additional information contained in a memory of the control unit or information retrieved by the communication unit 19 from a remote database. Such additional information could be commercials, nutritional information, information regarding the geographical origin of the ingredients of coffee or tea, etc.
    [0063] In the decoction operation (figure 7), additional information can be displayed on the display 12 such as product information, user instructions, decoction information, authentication data, etc. For example, a unique serial number can be provided in each code that is compared for identification to a list of numbers stored in the memory of the control unit or on a remote server. For example, the product information displayed during or after capsule identification can be initiated only at that stage or continued. User instructions can be provided to encourage the user to perform steps relevant to the decoction procedure. For example, a stimulus can be provided to wait for the end of the beverage component that comes out of the capsule. Also, a prompt to insert a second capsule can also be displayed, when a drink is prepared from two or more components of the drink such as cappuccino or latte macchiato requiring more than one capsule. The decoction information can cover information about the temperature of the drink or injection liquid, pressure, volume of drink, etc. This information can also be displayed at an appropriate time during the process.
    [0064] In a possible application illustrated in figure 8, provision 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 25/35
    21/22 beverage production device is configured via its communication unit to communicate with a user's mobile telecommunication terminal 40 to exchange information such as to display information on its display 41 such as product information or a link to a website number corresponding to the encoded URL address. [0065] As illustrated in figure 9, the product information as well as the URL contained in the code can also be read by a mobile telecommunication terminal 40 before inserting the capsule in the beverage production device. For this, the mobile telecommunications terminal requires a digital camera 42 and a decoding application that can be downloaded by the user at the terminal or preloaded. The load application is configured to read the 2-D barcode on the capsule and decode usable information from there. It should be noted that only certain bits of code can be made accessible to the user while others can be confidential or unused. In this way, algorithms or software to select relevant code data are provided in the terminal. Such algorithms or software can be downloaded as part of the decoding application. There are already several applications to decode the matrix code such as reader Kaywa and the like. Software can be tailored with menus and submenus, graphics, images, movies, avatars, etc., to display various services in a more attractive or intuitive way.
    [0066] The invention provides the user benefits in which he can obtain product information, for example, nutritional content, product recipes, etc., such as before inserting the capsule in the beverage production device, or accessing relevant websites if the terminal has an internet browser and transmitter. For example, this seamless and quick link to websites makes it possible to reach a transaction such as having new capsules or accessories, or participating in contexts or promotions, or accessing a customer call afterwards
    Petition 870190116120, of 11/11/2019, p. 26/35
    22/22 sales or call centers, etc.
    [0067] As other examples, recipe instructions can be displayed to the user to prepare a multi-component drink such as a cappuccino, latte macchiato, etc., using more than one capsule.
    [0068] It should be noted that the mobile telecommunication terminal can serve for information downloaded from a remote server and subsequently sent to the control unit of the beverage production device such as to update it in: decoction parameterization software, decoction software user instruction, decoding application and their combinations.
    [0069] Another application of the 2-D barcode capsule is illustrated in figure 10 where the beverage production device 20 is configured to display on its display 12, an image 50 of the 2-D barcode, as captured by your digital 11 camera. The image can be a complete or partial reproduction of the 2-D barcode 7 and the same or different size. When displayed, the barcode image 50 can be recaptured by a mobile telecommunication terminal 40, decoded via a decoding application and processed using suitable communication software.
    [0070] Naturally, the present invention is not limited to the preferred embodiments described, but extends to other equivalents that are covered by the scope of the following claims.
