System for interacting with a container and the related content placed near a conducting surface

Abstract

Disclosed is a system for interacting with one or more containers placed near a conducting surface. The system sends the information of content inside the container in relation to an action caused by a user over the communication network. The system includes a controller; a frequency generator; a first electrode; an electronic circuitry including a convertor, an e-filed strength meter, an I/O interface and a bi-directional communication unit; a second electrode and a media unit. The controller generates a unique identification code for each container. The controller communicates through the communication network. The frequency generator provides a modulated alternating electric with variable frequency. The first electrode floats in the air inside the container and mirrors charges received from the frequency generator through the conducting surface and the content. The convertor converts alternating charges into DC energy received from the first electrode. The e-filed strength meter measures changes in the alternating charges on the container. The I/O interface generates input and output signals on receiving the change in the alternating charges from e-field strength meter and the bi-directional communication unit to communicate the changes in the electric field strength from the e-field strength meter to the controller. The second electrode is coupled to the converter and is attached to the cap of the container and further floats against the ground. The media unit stores and communicates media data related to the container over the communication network on receiving the field strength signal along with the unique ID number from the controller.
