CLIAMS:We claim:
1. A method of determining shelf life of a consumable product, the method comprising:
detecting, by one or more activity monitoring sensors, an activity associated with the consumable product;
performing a quality check on the consumable product using one or more quality sensors upon detecting the activity; and
determining shelf life of the consumable product, by a processor, based on the quality check on the consumable product.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity associated with the consumable product is at least one of a positional change of the consumable product and a change in environment of the consumable product.
3. The method of claim 1, further comprising displaying information associated with the consumable product to a user, based on the activity associated with the consumable product.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more activity monitoring sensors comprises one or more of a temperature sensor, an electro-optical sensor, a humidity sensor, a chemical sensor, a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and an acceleration sensor.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the activity is detected based on a deviation of values of the one or more activity monitoring sensors from one or more baseline values of the activity monitoring sensors.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more quality sensors comprises one or more of a spectral imager, a chemical sensor, color light sensors, and a pressure sensor.
7. The method of claim 1, wherein performing the quality check on the consumable product comprises comparing quality data of the one or more quality sensors with reference data associated with the one or more quality sensors.
8. The method of claim 1, wherein at least one of the one or more activity monitoring sensors and the one or more quality sensors are affixed to the consumable product.
9. A system for determining shelf life of a consumable product, comprising:
one or more activity monitoring sensors to detect an activity associated with the consumable product;
one or more quality sensors to collect quality data of the consumable product upon detecting the activity; and
a processor to determine shelf life of the consumable product based on the quality data of the consumable product.
10. The system of claim 9, wherein the activity associated with the consumable product is at least one of a positional change of the consumable product and a change in environment of the consumable product.
11. The system of claim 9, further comprising a display to display information associated with the consumable product to a user based on the activity associated with the consumable product.
12. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more activity monitoring sensors comprises one or more of a temperature sensor, an electro-optical sensor, a humidity sensor, a chemical sensor, a pressure sensor, an ultrasonic sensor, and an acceleration sensor.
13. The system of claim 9, wherein the activity is detected based on a deviation of values of the one or more activity monitoring sensors from one or more baseline values of the activity monitoring sensors.
14. The system of claim 9, wherein the one or more quality sensors comprises one or more of a spectral imager, a chemical sensor, an optical sensor, a color imaging sensor, and a pressure sensor.
15. The system of claim 9, wherein determining shelf life of the consumable product comprises comparing the quality data of the one or more quality sensors with reference data associated with the one or more quality sensors.
16. The system of claim 9, wherein at least one of the one or more activity monitoring sensors and the one or more quality sensors are affixed to the consumable product.
