SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF SELECTING OPERATIONS FOR A DISPENSER BASED ON PATH OF TRAVEL

An example of a beverage dispenser includes a nozzle (22) and a valve (18) coupled upstream of the nozzle (22). A sensor (26) is operable to detect an object within a detection zone (32) and provide a signal representative of a distance between the object and the sensor. A controller (24) is configu...

Zusammenfassung:	An example of a beverage dispenser includes a nozzle (22) and a valve (18) coupled upstream of the nozzle (22). A sensor (26) is operable to detect an object within a detection zone (32) and provide a signal representative of a distance between the object and the sensor. A controller (24) is configured to receive the signal from the sensor (26). The controller (24) is configured to determine a sub-zone from a plurality of sub-zones within the detection zone (32) in which the object is located. The valve (18) is controlled between an open condition to dispense the substance through the nozzle (22) and a closed condition based upon the determined sub-zone.
