1. Deployment of WDIRC patenting

Regarding the application of WDIRC patenting, Fig. 2 shows the illustration of WDIRC patenting in different countries, there were two types (2x1 and 3x1) WDIRC to apply with time. On the beginning, the first aim is to apply for Taiwan (TIPO) for getting the priority of invention, and then applying patents in Japan, South Korea, China and USA. The first generation of WDIRC product focused on the combination of a water dispenser and a rice cooker for rice cooking automatically, all of countries had granted the patent. Second, a new idea for improving grain process was initiated, to install a grinder or blender in the device is convenient for grinding or cutting grains into the finest powder. That's the second generation of WDIRC product, it combined a grinder or a blender inside, called its name as WDIRC+G. What countries are the patent application of WDIRC+G, there were countries such as Taiwan, China, USA, Malaysia, Australia, Canada, India, Thailand and Hong Kong. Most people of these countries had been cooking rice daily, so this device can solve this problem easily. So the market by this device is very huge and the patent application is very important for us, we had made the deployment completely.
