Patent abstract

An image sensor is positioned such that a field-of-view of the sensor encompasses portion of a beverage machine. The field-of-view includes a first zone associated with operating the beverage machine to dispense the beverage and a second zone in which a cup is placed to receive the beverage. A beverage assignment subsystem receives angled-view images from the image sensor. An event associated with an object entering one or both of the first zone and the second zone is detected. In image(s) associated with a start of the event, it is determined that both a hand of a person enters the first zone and the cup is placed in the second zone. If the cup remained in the second zone for at least a threshold time, the beverage is assigned to the person whose hand entered the first zone.
