SIMULATOR SYSTEM FOR DIFFERENT LIQUID FLAVORS

摘要

The invention refers to a system for achieving the sensation of drinking a particular drink, known as the target, when in fact another drink, such as water, is being drunk. The invention consists of a glass which contains not only water but also a small amount of the target drink, in order to provide the true smell and image of the desired drink, as well as an electronic system for generating a series of signals which, by means of electrodes, stimulate the user's tongue, the effect of which is to act on a series of nerve cells, providing the brain with a signal as similar as possible to that which the real drink provides to the taste buds of the user. The user of the system thus has the sensation of drinking the target drink.

主权项

1. A simulator system for different liquid flavors comprising:
a vessel, with three components: a reservoir wherein a sample of target liquid is housed which provides the smell and image thereof, a main receptacle where carbonated or non-carbonated water is housed, corresponding to a liquid to drink, and a secondary receptacle for electronics assisted by a voltage adapter,
the electronics complemented with a set of signal generators a set of amplifiers to amplify the signal generated, and a set of electrodes adapted to excite different areas sensitive to flavor of a user's tongue, a support for said electrodes that, on drinking, is adapted to come into contact with the user's tongue and cause the electrodes, to make contact with the sensitive areas of the tongue; wherein the electronics are controlled by a processor responsible for generating the appropriate stimuli and controlling the overall operation of the simulator system.
