Automatic weight illumination display coasters

Abstract

An illuminated coaster comprising a plurality of light emitters, and a control unit associated with the illuminated coaster are provided. The control unit comprises a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions. The control unit comprises a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to detect presence of a container on the coaster, estimate a volume of liquid within the container present on the coaster, and activate a plurality of light emitters to emit one of a light of first color, a light of second color, or a light of third color based on the estimate volume of liquid.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An illuminated coaster, comprising:
 a plurality of light emitters;   a memory configured to store computer-executable instructions; and   a processor in communication with the memory, the processor being configured to execute the computer-executable instructions, which when executed, cause the processor to:
 detect presence of a container on the coaster; 
 estimate a volume of liquid within the container present on the coaster; and 
 activate the plurality of light emitters to emit one of a light of first color, a light of second color, or a light of third color based on the estimated volume of liquid.
