DESCRIPTION
FIELD OF INVENTION
[0001] Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a disposable urine device and more specifically to a method system and apparatus for dispensing the disposable urine device to stand and pee for women.
RELATED ART
[0002] A greater percentage of women suffer from Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) due to urine retention on a regular basis which causes irritation, swelling, discomfort and pain in the uterus. Controlling themselves from peeing for a longer period of time due to unhygienic conditions or sometimes during travelling, adventures trip, staying in outdoor locations or public places where there is no proper sanitization for using public toilets leads to UTI. Periodically by squatting or sitting on the toilet seats or rush to leave the toilet cubicle, women expose themselves to harmful bacteria. Also, by challenging problem of squatting, results in incomplete release of the bladder and constant urge to pee all the time. Squatting is a good exercise, but it gets harder for senior citizen, ill or physically challenged. In certain instances, by drinking less water or staying dehydrated might save women from using dirty toilets but it leads to health hazards. Further, senior citizens who are suffering from arthritis and those who are under a critical medical condition, it’s difficult to bend or sit in a restroom. Doctors recommend emptying your bladder regularly, about once every three hours, hence for numerous reasons, it’s necessary for women and senior citizens to stand and pee. In order to facilitate stand and pee for women and senior citizen, there are various urinating devices that have been developed which enable women to urinate in a standing posture. However, there is no conventional device or method that is portable and disposable in nature to carry in a wallet or in a pant pocket that are travel friendly, hygiene and easy to use. Further, conventional devices are expensive and unreliable to use in public places which makes women and senior citizen more uncomfortable and awkward to carry as well as to use it in public places.

[0016] FIG. 1 is a block diagram illustrating a vending machine dispensing stand and pee device in one embodiment of the present disclosure. The vending machine dispensing stand and pee device comprises a power supply 100, a processor 110, a display unit 120, a DC motor 130, a coin/currency dispenser 140, a coin/currency validator 160 and an I/O unit 150.
[0017] The power supply 100, provides required power to the devices and components to work. The machine is additionally supplied with automatic power backup. In one embodiment, a power supply may use anywhere from 7-14 kWh daily.
[0018] The processor 110, may use hardware parts like microcontroller, arm, PLC and microprocessor etc. In one embodiment, the PLC is used to automate the machine. The processor 110, is connected to power supply 100, display unit 120, DC motor 130, output 150, coin dispenser 140 and currency validator 160. The power supply 100 provides constant DC power supply to all the stages of circuits where it required. It may provide same or different voltages to the processor 110, the processor 110 sends information to the display unit 120 to insert the coin/note or check the correct coin/note if the person inserts wrong currency. The currency validator 160 use sensors to detect valid coin or note and send information to the processor 110, the processor 110 in turn send information to the display unit 120 and at output 150 user get the product. The DC motor 130 is used to rotate in order to deliver right product.
[0019] The display unit 120, may use 16*2 LCD display unit used in various devices and circuits. It may display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such lines. In one embodiment, this type of display is easily programmable, cheap and easily available and may even display custom character and animations. In one embodiment, when the power supply 110 is turned on, the processor 110, sends information to the display unit 120, to display “please insert the 5-rupee coin or note”. If a person inserts a wrong coin or note the display unit receives the information from the processor 110, and displays “please insert the correct currency”.

In one embodiment, the coin dispenser 140, helps the person to get back wrong inserted coin/note and also helps to processor 110, to check the inserted coin/note.
[0022] Output 150, is connected to the processor 110, once the cash validator 160, detects the right currency, depending on it the user gets the product. When the user gets the product, the message “thank you” is displayed in the display unit 130.
[0023] In one embodiment, the Audible Buzzer may be provided to beep sound alerts during transactions and a “Thank You” message is displayed when the product is delivered.
[0024] Currency validator 160, used as one of the input devices for processor 110, The sensors in this currency validator 160 checks its authenticity by checking width, coin/note diameter and fall time of the coin/note to identify it and it may be programmed to accept coins of any nation, denomination. In one embodiment, the currency validator 160 will check them and report when each type is inserted, while rejecting other coins. The currency validator 160 is programmed to accept coins or note of 5rs denominations. In one embodiment, it detects the currency entered by the user and checks if they are among the ones that are valid and accepts or rejects them. Once the currency validator 160 detects the right coin/note the information is sent to the processor 110, from processor 110 signal is sent to the output 150 ,the user get the stand and pee device, but if currency is different from programmed then it will come out in the coin dispenser 140 and returned back to the user.

In step 210, a desired currency is inserted into the vending machine that dispenses stand and pee unit of the present disclosure. The power supply unit of the vending machine provides continuous power supply to the vending machine where the desired currency is inserted into an input unit of the vending machine. In step 220, the inserted currency is validated based on preprogrammed instructions in the currency validator of the vending machine. In step 230, in case of detecting invalid currency by the currency validator, an error message is displayed on the display unit and the invalid currency inserted into the vending machine gets dispensed through the dispenser. In step 240, the validated currency gets detected by the currency detector and the processor sends a signal to the output unit to dispense a stand and pee unit of the present disclosure. In an example, the desired currency comprises at least one of authenticate and valid 5-rupee or 10-rupee coin/note. The flowchart ends at 250.
