This technical disclosure describes improvements that would be readily apparent to a Person Having Ordinary Skill In The Art (PHOSITA) when considered in combination with the foundational architecture disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 11,856,963.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent, 'Device and method of preparing composite ice glaze', addressed the need for efficient and effective preparation of composite ice glaze in the aquatic fresh-keeping industry. However, the existing device and method had limitations in terms of predictive maintenance, real-time monitoring, and supply chain management. The new invention overcomes these limitations by incorporating AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies to create a more powerful and integrated system.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The new invention's synergistic combination of AI, IoT, and blockchain technologies with the original device and method for preparing composite ice glaze provides a novel and non-obvious solution that enhances the efficiency, quality, and transparency of the preparation process. The integration of these technologies enables real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and supply chain management, which are not achievable with the original device and method alone.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include the use of different AI algorithms, IoT sensor configurations, or blockchain platforms. Additionally, the system could be adapted for use in other industries, such as food processing or pharmaceuticals, where composite ice glaze preparation is required.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The intelligent composite ice glaze preparation system has significant commercial potential in the aquatic fresh-keeping industry, where it can improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance product quality. The system's transparency and traceability features also make it attractive for industries with strict supply chain regulations. The market for this system is expected to grow as the demand for fresh seafood and other aquatic products continues to increase.
