Abstract

A water processing and filling system includes a processing assembly configured to obtain and transport water; a filling assembly configured to receive water from the processing assembly; and a controller configured to: identify a presence of a container operatively adjacent to the filling assembly; determine whether an RFID tag on the container is valid; and if the RFID tag is valid, activate a flow of water from the filling assembly and into the container.

Claims (40)

1 . A water processing and filling system, comprising:

a processing assembly configured to obtain and transport water;

a filling assembly configured to receive water from the processing assembly; and

a controller configured to:

identify a presence of a container operatively adjacent to the filling assembly;

determine whether an RFID tag on the container is valid; and

if the RFID tag is valid, activate a flow of water from the filling assembly and into the container.

2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether a water collection tank in the processing assembly is empty.

3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to obtain physical characteristics of the container.

4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to display instructions to a user.

5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to initiate a reading of a weight of the container.

6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether a weight of the container is in a valid weight range.

7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the container is full of water.

8 . A water processing and filling system, comprising:

a processing assembly configured to condense water from an environment outside of the system;

a filling assembly configured to receive water from the processing assembly; and

a controller configured to:

identify an identity of a container operatively adjacent to the filling assembly;

obtain physical characteristics of the container according to the identity of the container;

compare a weight of the container to a weight range; and

activate a flow of water from the filling assembly and into the container.

9 . The system claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify a presence of the container operatively adjacent to the filling assembly.

10 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether an RFID tag on the container is valid.

11 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to cause a load cell in the filling assembly to measure the weight of the container.

12 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to compare the weight of the container with a valid weight range.

13 . The system of claim 8 , wherein the controller is further configured to active a valve in the filling assembly.

14 . A water processing and filling system, comprising:

a processing assembly configured to dehumidify water from air outside of the system;

a filling assembly configured to receive water from the processing assembly; and

a controller configured to:

determine whether an RFID tag on a container at the filling assembly is valid;

determine if there is a valid user account associated with the RFID tag;

enable a valid user to purchase a fill of water; and

initiate the filling assembly to fill water into the container.

15 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to determine whether the system is available to dispense water.

16 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to identify a presence of the container at the filling assembly.

17 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to enable an invalid user to set up an account.

18 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to process the purchase against an account of the valid user.

19 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to disable the container in an account of the valid user.

20 . The system of claim 14 , wherein the controller is further configured to provide a receipt of the purchase to the valid user.
