Abstract
The disclosure herein concerns a method including receiving at a computer at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment that is remote from the computer, receiving at the computer a sensed parameter of the environment, and controlling, via the computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent parameter, wherein controlling includes setting or adjusting an operation parameter of the at least one scent diffusion device in response to the sensed parameter.
Claims22
A method of managing scent in an environment, the method comprising:
- disposing at least one scent diffusion device within an environment, wherein the at least one scent diffusion device comprises a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from a remote computer;
- disposing at least one sensor within the environment, the at least one sensor being coupled to the communications facility of the at least one scent diffusion device;
- providing at least one target value of a scent parameter for the environment, the scent parameter being a scent concentration factor associated with type of scent;
- detecting scent concentration factor of the environment;
- transmitting data associated with the detected scent concentration factor to the remote computer;
- and
- controlling, via the remote computer, diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with the at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent concentration factor.
A system of managing scent within an environment, the system comprising:
- a remote computer configured with at least one target value of a scent parameter for an environment, the scent parameter being a scent concentration factor associated with type of scent;
- at least one scent diffusion device disposed within the environment, the at least one scent diffusion device including a communications facility that enables transmitting signals to and receiving signals from the remote computer;
- and
- at least one sensor disposed within the environment, the at least one sensor being coupled to the communications facility of the at least one scent diffusion device,
- wherein the remote computer further is configured to receive detected scent concentration factor data and control diffusion of a liquid from a source of the liquid in fluid communication with the at least one scent diffusion device to achieve the target value of the scent concentration factor.
