People summoning for coffee is fine. But for people who look tired and distressed, I think coffee is just a 'quick fix' for that. How about drone reporting it back to the person's manager (as a feedback) to indicate if management rework needs to be done (sometimes one person in team ends up doing most of the work). Or drone sending an automated email giving suggestions to the employee to either take a break, go for a walk, drink water, or give recommendations of meeting other people who are in the same state. Maybe the drone can even take into account the project which the employee is working on and help him socialize with others who are working on other projects, which ultimately might give rise to a brand new project idea. Just my two cents!
- WilliamEdward 8y agoOk cool, but the patent is for the technology itself? They can use it for whatever they want, coffee is just a filler.
- lisper 8y agoActually it's not. The patent claims really are specifically about delivering coffee (well, about delivering a beverage containing a stimulant). And not just that, it's about delivering it to sleepy people, where sleepiness is determined by an algorithm. It's completely nuts.
