DESCRIPTION OF TIIE RELATED MtT;
Proper hydration is an integral aspect of human well-being. Maintaining adequate
fluid balance is an essential component of health across the life span. Water
consumption is the primary way humans hydrate themselves. Often, people carry
around water bottles with them so they can hydrate on-the-go when they may not
be near a water source.
Publication No. CN2728368 provides a visible thermos bottle wherein the upper
part of the housing design thermos two displays, one display water temperature, a
display level. Two additional sensors at the bottom of a bottle of bile. One is a
water temperature sensor, located inside the bottom of the bottle of bile, used to
detect the bottle of instant water temperature; the other is a pressure sensor,
disposed outside the bottom of the bottle of bile, used to detect heavy pressure
bottle bile. Two sensors to provide electrical signals of each detection circuit, the
detection circuit will detect the amplified electrical signals are processed to drive
the display accordingly. Additionally the base of the bottle houses a
microcontroller along with GPS, ?"TS (Text to speech) and voice recognition
system.
Publication No. CN104382742 provides an infant feeding bottles comprising
a bottle body, a nipple, a bottle cap, a temperature sensor and a liquid level sensor.
The temperature sensor is arranged at the center of the bottom of the
feeding bottle and used for sensing temperature of liquid in the feeding bottle.
The smart feeding bottle can accurately acquire the temperature and volume of the
-3-
liquid in the feeding bottle, so that convenience is brought to parents to grasp diet
rules of infants and reasonably arrange diet for the infants.
Publication No. CN203619387 provides a water storage device with a scald
reminding hnction. A handle is fixedly arranged on a bottle body, a lifting handle
is movably connected onto the bottle body, a bottle opening is formed in the top
end of the bottle body, a thermos bottle stopper is arranged at the bottle opening
and provided with indicator lights connected with a temperature sensor, the
temperature sensor is connected with a battery in the bottle stopper, and the
battery is connected with a thermal energy conversion device arranged in
the bottle stopper.
Publication No. CN201920548 provides a thermos with' a water level warning
device. When water into the thermos, when the water level reaches the top of the
pressure sensor position, the top pressure sensor feel the water pressure, signaled
the bright lights 2, add water to remind those who pay attention to the need to stop
water; when the water inside the thermos use When they reach the bottom
pressure sensor position, the bottom pressure sensor to lose the pressure on,
signaling lower lights 3 light, reminding should add water to the inside of the
thermos. A thermos bottle with a water level warning indicator belongs to living
goods and mainly solves the problem that the quantity of water stored in a
traditional thermos bottle cannot be judged visually.

located remote from the water bottle. The sensors on the bottle create digital data
associated with amount of fluid in the bottle and change thereof. The sensors
remote from the bottle, which can be on an activity tracker, create digital data
associated with an activity being performed by a user, such as running, or the
-4-
absence of activity, such as remaining sedentary. A display on the bottle can
indicate to the user the amount of fluid consumed or a reminder that fluid should
be consumed.

has a certain internal space; a temperature sensor which is installed in the main
body to measure the temperature of filler filled in the main body; a temperature
display means comprising a display unit for displaying the temperature according
to thc measurement result of the temperature sensor; and a heating means which is
installed on one side of the main body to directly heat the main body or filler in
order to raise the temperature of the filler.; The display unit includes an LED lamp
unit installed in the main body and an optical fiber member which transmits the
light emitted from the LED lamp part and extends through the lateral side of the
main body.
Publication No. DE19703949 describes an optical level indicator, particularly for
water, for a container with a light conductor which extends over a the possible
filling levels corresponding height of the container and is supported in the wall
thereof, whereby a wettable by the liquid, the interior of the container facing first
end face of the light guide is provided with a reflecting surface and one of the first
end face is opposite the second end face of the light guide as a display surface for
the water level in the container.
Different products are available which automatically calculates a recommended
daily water intake goal especially individual and monitors the total amount 'of
fluid consumed throughout the day. Some of these also connects to user's phone
via Bluetooth. The companion app tracks your location and takes into account
temperature, humidity, and elevation data to offer smarter recommendations. The
water bottle glows when it is time for you to drink.

water bottle which manages the user's drinking habits and ensures that the user
stays hydrated.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a hydration management
water bottle which shows realtime temperature of the contents in the bottle.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide a hydration management
water bottle which manages a log of daily consumption of water and average
consumption through the month.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a hydration management
water bottle which is ideal for sportsmen, children, athletes, elder people or
anyone who wishes to stay hydrated.
Still another object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent smart water
bottle which is interactive and communicates the usage of water to the user.
Yet another object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent smart water

Accordingly, the present invention provides a novel water bottle to manage the
user's drinking habits and ensures that the user stays hydrated comprising optical
fibers and LEDs to indicate water level; a speech recognition module; a text to
speech system, which answers back in human voice; an audible belllalarm; bottle
refill indicatorlreminder; a communication module to track the bottle via a cell
phone; a capacitive touch sensitive outer cover and rechargeable battery. Thc
temperature indicator, power and sensor modules are preferably contained within
the base of the water bottle.
Referring to fig. 1, 2 and 3, the pressure sensor 6 in the base 1 is connected with a
controlling unit preferably a microcontroller 7 and senses the difference in the
force between full bottle and empty bottle and uses the values to showcase the
water level using different pattern on the bottle created using the optical fibers 3,
4 connected to LEDs 2. Similarly, the temperature sensor 5 in the base senses the
content temperature and glows the LEDs 2 in the appropriate shades of red to blue
depicting temperatures as hot to cold. The capacitive sense is used by virtue of the
charge of the human touch, so as soon as the user holds the bottle, it starts
showing temperature and water level. The water bottle shows realtime
temperature of the contents in the bottle, so that the user intuitively knows if the
contents are too hot or too cold. The bottle also showcases the current water level
and manages a log of daily consumption of water and average consumption
through the month. Thus the smart water'bottle. is an interactive bottle which
communicates to the user about the water status such, as without limitation how
much water has been drunk since morning/week/month/year or if its about time
and he should drink water now.
Furthermore, a hydration system is pre-defined into the microcontroller 7
according to the need of user to keep track of the amount of water consumed, and
the time difference, thus reminding the user to keep drinking water at
predetermined intervals, in order to keep the user hydrated.
