DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0026] FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the Uber Caf Callisto product family 19. The present hot and cold dispensing machine is about integrating the android platform on any coffee machine (Home, commercial or Vending) as well as any dispensing machine for hot and cold beverages. An android based computer, tablet, or other IOS and windows smart device 20 will be used to run the machine as well as to offer all the facilities of a computer or a fully functional tablet like but not limited to executing commands and dispensing recipes, creating, deleting and editing profiles, change the system settings, connection to the internet, access to social media networks, playing publicity (whether pushed adds or online, makes the dispensing/coffee machine more attractive and can transmit useful information to the user while waiting for brewing/dispensing his drink), registering audio/video messages, reading QR codes via built in cam or an external reader, reading boarding pass codes used in airlines companies for identifying the user and communicating with Smart App via QR Code 30 and/or Blue Tooth and/or NFC 31 device or by a Boarding pass code in an airport, will help retrieving the user's profile from remote server immediately so that he can have his preferred drink. Accordingly, it is a main target of the present Utility Invention to provide an improved interface for the dispensing machine user to customize his or her drinks and saving them for future use. The system can make suggests of other combinations based up on combinations or mixtures from other users.

[0027] The system includes a machine server 40 connected through a cloud interface 73 to a payment server, through a cloud interface to a customer server 60. The smart device 20 communicated through the cloud 72 to the payment server 50 and though the cloud 70 to a customer server 60.

[0028] Any machine models 90 of hot or cold dispensing machines, such as Troffee, Mika, Prodigy and Preferences communicates through the cloud 75 or through a wireless connection 80 to the machine server to obtain the preferences of a user and also to identify when servicing of a machine is required. The machines 40 can also communicate through the cloud 74 or wirelessly to the payment server 50.

[0029] FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of the three main servers in the Uber Caf Callisto product family. The system includes a machine server 40 connected through a cloud interface 73 to a payment server, through a cloud interface to a customer server 60. The smart device 20 communicated through the cloud 72 to the payment server 50 and though the cloud 70 to a customer server 60. The payment server 60 can also communicate through the cloud 76 to the machine server 40 thereby communications between the major blocks of the machine server 40, customer server 50 and the payment server 60 are each in communication. The hot and cold dispensing is with a thermoelectric module to heat and cool fluids. The dispenser can include a carbonation or CO2 gas dispenser to produce carbonated beverages.

[0030] FIG. 3 shows the three main servers in the Uber Caf Callisto product family. In this embodiment the computing device 20 communicates to a beverage dispenser using Near Field Communication (NFC) 31 or a Quick Response (QR) code 30. The beverage maker/dispenser can then communicate to any or all of the payment server machine server 40 and customer server 50 and the payment server 60. These three servers can communicate and/or transfer information through their cloud communication links 71, 73 and 76. The computing device 20 or cell phone can pre-order a beverage so it is ready when the owner arrives at the hot or cold beverage dispensing machine. The hot or cold beverage dispensing machine can use the proximity of the user to establish order of preparation and delivery.

[0031] FIG. 4 shows a second block diagram of the Uber Caf Callisto product family. This block diagram is a hybrid between the previously identified block diagrams with the inclusion of the cloud communication 76 between the machine server 40 and the customer server 60.

[0032] Thus, specific embodiments of a hot and cold Uber Caf Callisto product family beverage dispensing machine has been disclosed. It should be apparent, however, to those skilled in the art that many more modifications besides those described are possible without departing from the inventive concepts herein. The inventive subject matter, therefore, is not to be restricted except in the spirit of the appended claims.
