A radio frequency identification (RFID) dispenser that includes low cost electronic components that can read and write to the tag of a refill cartridge. In one embodiment, the reader utilizes a multi band pass filter to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. In another embodiment, the controller utilizes an internal comparator to convert the radio frequency identification into a digital signal that is processed by a controller to perform a dispensing function representative to the code of the tag. The dispenser in both embodiments also includes a pair of transistors that write to the RFID tag of the refill cartridge. A dispenser according to the invention also includes the capability to read and/or write to tags upon cartridges employed by the dispenser, and augmenting the operation of the dispenser as a function thereof. Additionally, a dispenser of variable size is presented that is adaptable, through adjustable partitions or a telescoping cup, to receive and maintain cartridges of various sizes.

1. A method of determining a need for service of a refill cartridge that contains product to be dispensed comprising: providing a dispenser that includes a first communication device;operatively installing a refill cartridge that has a second communication device associated therewith into the dispenser, the second communication device maintaining a count value identifying a number of dispense cycles that the refill cartridge has available;communicating the count value from the second communication device to the first communication device;actuating the dispenser to complete a dispense cycle, whereby the product is dispensed from the refill cartridge;updating the count value; andindicating that the refill cartridge requires service based on the updated count value. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the updating step is performed at a counter stored at a controller provided by the dispenser. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the counter is incremented. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the indicating step is performed when the counter is greater than or equal to a threshold value. 5. The method of claim 2, wherein the counter is decremented. 6. The method of claim 5, wherein the indicating step is performed when the counter is less than or equal to a threshold value. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the product comprises flowable material. 8. The method of claim 1, wherein the updating step is performed at a counter provided by the second communication device of the refill cartridge. 9. The method of claim 8, wherein the counter is incremented. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the indicating step is performed when the counter is greater than or equal to a threshold value. 11. The method of claim 8, wherein the counter is decremented. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the indicating step is performed when the counter is less than or equal to a threshold value. 13. The method of claim 1, further comprising: permanently disabling operation of the refill cartridge after the updated count value reaches a threshold value. 14. A method of operating a dispenser for a refill cartridge that contains product to be dispensed comprising: providing a dispenser that includes a first communication device;operatively installing a refill cartridge that has a second communication device associated therewith into the dispenser, the second communication device maintaining a count value identifying a number of dispense cycles that the refill cartridge has available;communicating the count value from the second communication device to the first communication device;actuating the dispenser to complete a dispense cycle, whereby the product is dispensed from the refill cartridge;updating the count value; anddetermining whether the updated count value has reached a threshold value; andadjusting a cycle time of the dispense cycle that is performed at the actuating step if the threshold value has been reached. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein the adjusting step is performed by increasing the cycle time. 16. The method of claim 14, further comprising modifying the threshold value. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the modifying step is performed by increasing the threshold value. 18. The method of claim 14, wherein the product comprises flowable material. 19. The dispenser of claim 18, wherein the second communication device includes a date of manufacture associated with the refill container, which is acquired by the first communication device and communicated therefrom.
