MUMBAI, India, July 30 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641087125 A) filed by New Horizon College Of Engineering on July 16, 2026, for A Self-Powered Hydration Reminder Bottle With Adaptive Time-Interval Alerts Generated Using Drinking-Event Detection And Environmental Condition.
Inventors include Sudhir Patel; Dinesh P A; Bhaskar P; and A B Madhumohana Raju.
The application for the patent was published on July 24, 2026, under issue no. 30/2026.
Abstract: A self-powered hydration reminder bottle is disclosed that generates adaptive hydration alerts using drinking-event detection and environmental monitoring. The bottle (100) includes a drinking-event detection system (110) having a tilt sensor (111), motion sensor (112), and water-level sensor (113) that verify actual water consumption. An environmental monitoring system (300) measures temperature, humidity, UV exposure, and atmospheric pressure. A self-powered energy harvesting system (330) captures energy from movement, solar exposure, and thermal gradients, storing it in an energy storage unit (340) to eliminate dependence on external charging. A microcontroller (200) executes an adaptive algorithm that calculates a personalized reminder interval based on verified consumption, environmental conditions, and user activity, and triggers a multi-mode alert generation system (350) comprising visual, audible, vibration, and wireless notifications. The invention reduces unnecessary reminders, improves hydration accuracy, and supports sustainable, self-sufficient, long-term operation.
