Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a smart bottle holder and a daily water consumption monitoring method and system thereof. The smart bottle holder includes a bottle holder main body for accommodating a bottle, and a control unit provided in a bottom part of the bottle holder main body. The control unit includes a weighing module, for obtaining a total weight of the bottle and water therein; a controller; a communication module, for sending water consumption data to an external terminal; and a power module, for supplying power to the weighing module, controller, and communication module. Compared with the prior art, the present disclosure has stronger structural mobility and wider range of applications. Also, the present disclosure is more power-saving and environmentally friendly and can provide more accurate water consumption statistics.

         2 . The smart bottle holder according to  claim 1 , wherein
 the control unit further comprises a wake-up module for detecting a movement signal of the bottle holder main body, and the wake-up module is further used for issuing a wake-up signal when the movement signal is detected;   the controller is further configured to acquire the movement data of the bottle holder main body according to the wake-up signal, and determining whether the bottle holder main body is put down and stands still, if yes, a timer is started; and   the controller is further configured to determine whether a standstill time of the bottle holder main body is greater than or equal to a threshold, if yes, entering a sleep mode.   
     
     
         3 . The smart bottle holder according to  claim 2 , wherein the wake-up module is a multi-axis accelerometer, and the multi-axis accelerometer is configured to obtain the movement signal of the bottle holder main body. 
     
     
         4 . The smart bottle holder according to  claim 3 , wherein the controller is further configured to obtain outputs of the multi-axis accelerometer at a fixed frequency according to the wake-up signal, create a curve of the outputs within a period of time, analyze parameters of the curve, and recognize the water drinking action, wherein the parameters of the curve comprises a shape of the curve and a slope of a key point of the curve. 
     
     
         5 . The smart bottle holder according to  claim 1 , wherein the bottle holder main body comprises a first cavity and a second cavity that are separated from each other, a bottom of the bottle is detachably connected to the first cavity, and the control unit is arranged in the second cavity. 
     
     
         6 . The smart bottle holder according to  claim 5 , wherein the weighing module comprises a plurality of weighing sensors, and the plurality of weighing sensors are evenly arranged around the bottom of the bottle. 
     
     
         7 . A daily water consumption monitoring method, comprising:
 detecting a movement signal of a bottle holder main body;   issuing a wake-up signal when the movement signal is detected;   acquiring movement data of the bottle holder main body, determining whether the bottle holder main body is put down and stands still, if yes, starting a timer and controlling a weighing module to weigh a bottle and water therein to obtain and record a current weight as w t , otherwise, continuing to acquire the movement data of the bottle holder main body;   determining whether a user performs a water drinking action according to the movement data, if yes, calculating a difference between a previous weight w t-1  and the current weight w t  as a water consumption and replacing a value of w t-1  with a value of w t , otherwise, replacing the value of w t-1  with the value of w t  directly;   determining whether a standstill time of the bottle holder main body is greater than or equal to a threshold, if yes, entering a sleep mode, otherwise, returning to the step of weighing the bottle and water therein to obtain and record the current weight as w t .   
     
     
         8 . A daily water consumption monitoring system, comprising:
 a smart bottle holder and a user terminal:   wherein, the smart bottle holder further comprises: a bottle holder main body for accommodating a bottle, and a control unit provided in a bottom part of the bottle holder main body, wherein the control unit further comprises:   a weighing module configured to obtain a total weight of the bottle and water therein;   a controller configured to determine whether a user performs a water drinking action according to movement data of the bottle/bottle holder main body, wherein if the user performs the water drinking action, after the bottle is put down and stands still, the controller controls the weighing module to weigh the bottle and water to obtain a current weight, and calculate a difference between a previous weight and the current weight as a water consumption, otherwise, the controller controls the weighing module to weigh the bottle and water to obtain and save the current weight after the bottle is put down and stands still;   a communication module configured to send water consumption data to an external terminal;   a power module configured to supply power to the weighing module, controller, and communication module; and   the user terminal is configured to update a daily water consumption, and is further used to remind the user to drink water in time when the water consumption is in sufficient.
