Abstract
To provide an aroma diffusing device and a method of controlling an aroma diffusing device that can enable a plurality of functions to be achieved by operation inputs to one operation input part. Provided is an aroma diffusing device including: a perfume holding part in which a perfume is held; an air blowing source configured to supply air to the perfume holding part; an aroma discharge part through which the air having passed through the perfume holding part is discharged; an operation input part on which an operation input for the air blowing source is performed by a user; and an air blowing source control part configured to control a supply state of the air on the basis of an operation input on the one operation input part.
Claims20
An aroma diffusing device comprising:
- a perfume holding part in which a perfume is held;
- an air blowing source configured to supply air to the perfume holding part;
- an aroma discharge part through which the air having passed through the perfume holding part is discharged;
- an operation input part;
- and
- an air blowing source control part configured to control a supply state of the air, wherein the supply state of the air is controlled based on an operation input for the air blowing source performed on the operation input part by a user and a supply time of the air is varied based on an interval at which the operation input is performed by the user.
A method of controlling an aroma diffusing device, the method comprising:
- detecting performance by a user of an operation input for an air blowing source on an operation input part of the aroma diffusing device, wherein the air blowing source is configured to supply air to a perfume holding part of the aroma diffusing device in which a perfume is held;
- controlling a supply state of the air, by an air blowing source control part, based on the operation input for the air blowing source performed on the operation part by the user;
- and
- varying a supply time of the air based on an interval at which the operation input is performed by the user.
