IBM申请自动倒咖啡无人机专利
IBM Patents Smart Coffee-Delivering Drone
据《每日邮报》报道，IBM公司目前已经为一种无人驾驶飞行器申请了专利，该飞行器能够在企业员工或咖啡馆顾客提出需求前，就自动飞过去倒上一杯咖啡。
According to the Daily Mail, IBM has filed a patent for an unmanned aerial vehicle that's capable of dropping off a cup of coffee to employees or café customers before they even ask for one.
这种无人机将使用传感器来探测某人是否想喝咖啡，判断依据为特定手势或“预判认知状态”。随后，无人机会飞至需求者上空，通过连接在设备上的饮料架（如塑料袋）将咖啡送上。
The drone would use sensors to determine when someone wants a drink, by looking for specific hand gestures, or by assessing their 'pre-determined cognitive state'. It would then fly over to the person, with the drink attached to the device via a drink holder, such as a plastic bag, and deliver the coffee.
这项专利还描述了无人机如何根据一个人的“认知状态”来评估他们是否需要一杯咖啡。
The patent describes how the drone would determine a person's 'cognitive state' to assess if they need a cup of joe.
文件显示：“评估与预测基于以下任一特征：睡眠质量、电子日历、生物测定、血压、瞳孔放大、面部表情分析、起床时间以及手势分析。”
'The assessment and estimate is based on any of: sleep quality, electronic calendar, biometrics, blood pressure, pupil dilation, facial expression analysis, the time an individual woke up in the morning, and gesture analysis,' the document states.
这些特征可以通过一些可穿戴设备或个人电子日历进行检测。
These factors would be detected via some kind of Fitbit-style wearable, or by analyzing a person's calendar.
该专利解释道：“随着时间的推移，这套系统还会了解某人倾向于在何时何处消费咖啡，并根据历史记录调整系统对某人或某地的‘响应信心指数’。”
'Over time, a system of the disclosure can learn times and places at which an individual tends to prefer to consume coffee and can use that history to adjust its [corresponding confidence level] for a particular person or place.' the patent explains.
