CLAIMS
What is claimed is:
1. An attachment member for a blender system, the attachment member comprising:
a body comprising
an identification tag supported by the body; and
a latch portion operatively attaching the body to at least a portion of the blender system.
2. The attachment member of claim 1, wherein the identification tag comprises a near field communication device.
3. The attachment member of claim 2, wherein the near field communication device operatively generates a wireless signal in response to receiving a wireless signal from a transmitter device.
4. The attachment member of claim 1, wherein the body further comprises a track member having a generally circular shape and configured to support an antenna of the identification tag.
5. The attachment member of claim 4, wherein the track member comprises a groove that operatively receives the antenna.
6. The attachment member of claim 1, wherein the latch portion comprises a cleat that operatively secures the body to at least a portion of the blender system.
7. A blender system for blending foodstuff, the blender system comprising:
a blender container;
an attachment member operatively attached to a portion of the blender container, wherein the attachment member comprises:
a body comprising at least one identification tag, wherein the support member supports an identification tag of the at least one identification tag and the track member supports an antenna of the identification tag.
8. The blender system of claim 7, further comprising:
a receiver device that includes at least one transmitter, a transmitter of the at least one transmitter operatively initiating transmission of a signal to the identification tag.
9. The blender system of claim 8, wherein the identification tag generates, in response to receiving the signal, a response signal comprising data associated with at least one of a characteristic or an identity of the blender container.
10. The blender system of claim 7, wherein the identification tag stores data associated with at least one of a characteristic or an identity of the blender container.
11. The blender system of claim 10, wherein the characteristic comprises at least one of a history of use, make or model, volumetric capacity, weight, or identifier.
12. The blender system of claim 7, wherein the receiver device comprises at least one of a blender base, a scale, or a mobile device.
13. The blender system of claim 7, wherein the body comprises an alignment post operatively aligning the body with the blender container.
14. The blender system of claim 7, wherein the attachment member operatively attaches to at least one of a retainer nut of the blender container, apron of the blender container, or a handle of the blender container.
15. A blender system for blending foodstuff, the blender system comprising:
a blender container;
a lid operatively attachable to the blender container; and
at least one attachment member operatively attachable to at least one of the lid or blender container, wherein each of the attachment members comprises an identification tag.
16. The blender system of claim 15, wherein the blender system further comprises a blender base that includes a transmitting and receiving device operatively communicating with the at least one attachment member.
17. The blender system of claim 16, wherein the blender base determines whether at least one of the lid or blender container are compatible with the blender base.
18. The blender system of claim 16, wherein the blender base determines whether at least one of the lid or blender container are operatively interlocked with the blender base.
19. The blender system of claim 19, wherein the blender device transmits an instruction to the identification tag, the instruction initiating an update of data stored by the identification tag.
20. The blender system of claim 15, wherein the identification tag comprises a radio frequency identification device.
