pr1or.art Inc., “AI-Powered Personalized Seasoning Manufacturing System,” Published Technical Disclosure No. 24-11856973_0010_PTD, Published October 26, 2025, available at https://archive.pr1or.art/24-11856973_0010_PTD
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. 11,856,973.

Background and Problem Solved

The original patent disclosed a method for manufacturing an instant soup stock solid seasoning using microwave drying. However, this method has limitations in terms of personalization and adaptability to individual user preferences. The present invention addresses these limitations by introducing a system that leverages advanced technologies to create a tailored and responsive seasoning experience.

Novelty and Inventive Step

The present invention introduces a paradigm shift in the instant soup stock solid seasoning industry by integrating machine learning, wearable devices, and cloud connectivity to provide a personalized and adaptive seasoning experience. The invention's novelty lies in its ability to dynamically adjust the seasoning blend based on user preferences, dietary needs, and flavor profiles, which is not achievable with the original patent's method.

Alternative Embodiments and Variations

Alternative embodiments of the invention could include the use of different machine learning algorithms, wearable devices, or cloud-based platforms. Variations could include the integration of additional features, such as nutritional analysis or meal planning, to further enhance the user experience.

Potential Commercial Applications and Market

The invention has significant commercial potential in the food and beverage industry, particularly in the areas of personalized nutrition, meal kit delivery, and smart kitchen appliances. The target market includes health-conscious consumers, busy professionals, and individuals with specific dietary needs or preferences.
