Smart Water Bottle System

AI Hydration Monitoring, Ultra-Low Power, Modular Design

Production Ready Solution

Core Concept

"Beyond logging – promoting health through seamless interaction."

Market Needs & Core Pain Points

Insufficient hydration

Common among modern individuals, affecting metabolism, skin, and energy levels throughout the day.

Poor drinking habits

Forgetting to drink, drinking too much at once, irregular timing disrupts hydration balance.

Water quality concerns

Safety and temperature doubts, especially for infants and health-conscious users.

Personalized needs

Varying requirements in water volume, temperature, and additives for different user profiles.

Cumbersome experience

Current smart bottles rely heavily on phones, have intrusive alerts, and are hard to clean.

Data silos

Drinking data not integrated with health data (exercise, sleep, etc.) limiting insights.

Water Quality	TDS Sensor	CQRSEN-TDS-01	0-1000ppm, ±3%, temp compensation	Cost-effective UART sensor
Alerts	RGB LED Ring	WS2812B-2020	Serial-controlled, colorful breathing	Mini size, visual indicator
Alerts	Vibration Motor	Type 1020	3x10mm, 1.5-3V, soft feedback	Ultra-thin, provides haptic feedback

System Architecture

1. Sensing & Data Collection

Flow sensor → UART → MCU
IMU ↔ FSM algorithm → I²C → MCU
NTC thermistors → ADC (multiple points) → MCU
TDS sensor → UART → MCU

2. Power System

Wireless charging → WR-111346-01

↓

BQ25611D → 3.7V Battery

↓

TPS62743 → System 3.3V

3. Ultra-Low Power Design

MCU sleep mode 2μA
Sensors standby <10μA
IMU interrupt triggers → wake MCU and flow sensor

Design Highlights

01

Accurate Hydration Tracking

IMU + Flow Sensor + AI algorithm detects "lift-drink-sip" patterns precisely.

AI-Powered Detection

02

Modular Sensor Design

Magnetic Pogo Pin connectors for detachable, cleanable sensor module.

Easy Maintenance

03

Power Optimization

Event-driven wake-up, low-leakage circuits → standby up to 5 years.

5-Year Standby

04

Thermal Interference Mitigation

Advanced algorithm compensates for ambient temperature effects

def get_core_temp():
    t1 = read_ntc_bottom()
    t2 = read_ntc_wall()
    ambient = read_shtc3()
    return t1 + k*(t1 - t2)*(t1 - ambient)

05

Offline Voice Interaction

Supports on-device commands and alerts without internet connection.

Risk Assessment & Countermeasures

Risk Factor	Countermeasure
Flow Sensor Clog	Use self-cleaning SLF3x + app alerts + software calibration
Wireless Overheat	Avoid coil under metal + thermistor limits temp >45°C
TDS Aging	Modular TDS for replacement + calibration prompt every 6 months
