Description:SMART DEVICE TO DETECT QUALITY OF DRINKING WATER, PACKAGED WATER AND EDIBLE OILS
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The field of invention for this is Smart Water and Oil Quality Detection Device primarily spans consumer safety with a focus on sensor technology, embedded systems, and mobile applications. This device leverages advanced TDS sensors, real-time embedded processing, and smartphone integration to ensure safe drinking water and edible oil quality for consumers.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In the field of consumer safety, especially concerning water and edible oil quality, current assessment methods are limited and often inaccessible for everyday use. Traditionally, water and oil quality are verified through laboratory testing, where samples are collected and sent to specialized facilities for analysis. While this process provides precise results, it is time-consuming, costly, and impractical for routine, on-the-spot testing by individual consumers. Additionally, laboratory methods require trained personnel and specialized equipment, making them unsuitable for continuous monitoring in everyday settings.
The use of TDS meters represents a step toward consumer accessibility, as these handheld devices allow users to measure dissolved solids in water, which can give a general indication of purity. However, standard TDS meters do not support continuous, real-time monitoring. They typically require users to manually dip the device into the water for a one-time reading, making them impractical for assessing ongoing quality in situations where contamination might fluctuate, such as during storage or transport. Moreover, TDS meters lack visual feedback mechanisms to easily convey safety levels, and they generally do not have data logging capabilities, which limits their usefulness for tracking changes in water or oil quality over time.
Test kits for specific contaminants, like heavy metals or pesticides, offer more targeted assessments but introduce other limitations. These kits are often expensive and only detect specific contaminants, leaving out a broader spectrum of potential toxins. They also require multiple steps, chemical reagents, and in some cases, an understanding of chemistry to interpret results accurately. This makes them impractical and intimidating for most consumers, who need simple, reliable, and quick ways to check their water and oil quality.
Current methods for detecting contaminants in water and edible oils, such as laboratory testing, TDS meters, and specific contaminant test kits, present various challenges for consumers. Laboratory testing, though accurate, is time-consuming, costly, and impractical for regular use, as it requires specialized knowledge and equipment. Traditional TDS meters, while more accessible, only provide single, one-time readings, lacking the capacity for continuous, real-time monitoring and easy interpretation. Specific contaminant test kits, although targeted, are typically expensive, require multiple steps, and often need expert interpretation. As a result, consumers lack a simple, integrated tool that can instantly and continuously monitor the quality of their water and oil, providing immediate, easy-to-understand feedback on potential contamination and safety. This gap highlights the need for a convenient device that can empower users with proactive, on-demand health and safety information in their daily routines.
This gap is further exacerbated by the fact that contamination risks exist at multiple stages: from production and bottling to storage and transport. Even if a product is deemed safe at the manufacturing stage, it may encounter contaminants during handling and storage, exposing consumers to potential health hazards by the time the product reaches them. Given these challenges, there is a clear need for a user-friendly, integrated solution that can provide real-time, continuous quality monitoring with visual feedback and accessible data logging for everyday use. This would empower consumers with on-demand access to critical information about the safety of their water and edible oils, allowing them to make informed health and safety decisions with ease.

It should be understood, however, that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternative falling within the scope of the disclosure.
The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof used in the disclosure, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a device, system, assembly that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such system, or assembly, or device. In other words, one or more elements in a system or device proceeded by "comprises… a" does not, without more constraints, preclude the existence of other elements or additional elements in the system or device.
It will be understood by those within the art that, in general, terms used herein, and especially in the appended claims (e.g., bodies of the appended claims) are generally intended as "open" terms (e.g., the term "including" should be interpreted as "including but not limited to," the term "having" should be interpreted as "having at least," the term "includes" should be interpreted as "includes but is not limited to," etc.).
The present invention relates to a smart device to detect quality of drinking water, packaged water, and edible oils.
In an aspect of the invention disclosed the smart device comprises; a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) sensor; an OLED display for displaying TDS values; a color-coded LED indicators for visual feedback on safety levels; and a bluetooth module for transmitting data to a mobile application.
In an embodiment of the aspect disclosed, the smart device wherein, the mobile application stores and displays historical TDS data of water and oil.
In another embodiment of the aspect disclosed, the smart device wherein, the LED indicators display green color for safe TDS levels and red color for unsafe TDS levels.
At the core of this device is the TDS sensor, which plays a crucial role in detecting the concentration of dissolved solids within liquids. This sensor is designed to continuously measure TDS levels, which serve as a key indicator of potential contaminants, such as heavy metals, salts, and other harmful substances. By being in direct contact with the water or oil, the TDS sensor ensures that it can detect fluctuations in quality in real-time. This capability is especially important as contamination can occur during various stages, including manufacturing, bottling, packaging, and storage. Users can rely on this sensor to provide up-to-the-minute data that informs them about the safety of what they are consuming, helping to mitigate health risks associated with contaminated liquids.
The OLED display enhances the user experience by providing a clear and easily readable output of the TDS readings. Users can view the numerical value of the dissolved solids in real time, allowing for immediate assessment of water or oil quality. The high-resolution OLED technology ensures visibility in various lighting conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor settings. Alongside the numerical display, the device incorporates color-coded LED indicators to offer an intuitive visual warning system. When TDS levels are safe, the green LED illuminates, indicating that the liquid is safe for consumption. Conversely, when levels exceed the pre-set threshold, the red LED lights up, alerting users to potential contamination. This straightforward visual feedback system enables users to quickly and easily determine the safety of their liquids, even without consulting the numerical display.
Integrating a Bluetooth module into the design allows for seamless connectivity between the smart device and a dedicated mobile application. This feature empowers users to store and track historical data, offering insights into trends and changes in water and oil quality over time. By analysing this data, users can identify patterns that may indicate recurring contamination issues or evaluate the effects of different storage methods on liquid quality. The app enhances user engagement, enabling consumers to maintain a proactive approach to monitoring their hydration and consumption. The Bluetooth connectivity not only facilitates data sharing but also enhances the overall functionality of the device, making it a versatile tool for everyday use.
In essence, the present invention provides a reliable, continuous monitoring system that combines real-time data, instant visual feedback, and long-term tracking. It enables users to proactively assess and manage the safety of their water and oils, offering a powerful tool for consumer health and safety that fits seamlessly into everyday routines.
