Olfactogram techniques

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for causing a processing circuitry to execute a process, the process comprising:

• determining a scent availability of a scent dispensing device based on a plurality of scent essence statuses, wherein each scent essence status at least includes an amount of a respective scent essence disposed in the scent dispensing device;
• causing a plurality of scent options to be presented to a first user via a first user device, wherein the plurality of scent options is based on the scent availability;
• generating data indicating at least one scent to be dispensed by the scent dispensing device based on at least one user input provided by the first user via the first user device in response to the presentation of the plurality of scent options to the first user, wherein the generated data further indicates at least one condition, wherein the at least one condition includes an approval condition requiring that a second user of a second user device approve dispensing of the at least one scent;
• and
• transmitting the generated data, wherein the scent dispensing device is configured to dispense the at least one scent based on the transmitted data such that the scent dispensing device is further configured to dispense the at least one scent only when the second user has approved the dispensing of the at least one scent.

A system for sending olfactograms, comprising:

• a processing circuitry;
• and
• a memory, the memory containing instructions that, when executed by the processing circuitry, configure the system to:
• determine a scent availability of a scent dispensing device based on a plurality of scent essence statuses, wherein each scent essence status at least includes an amount of a respective scent essence disposed in the scent dispensing device;
• cause a plurality of scent options to be presented to a first user via a first user device, wherein the plurality of scent options is based on the scent availability;
• generating data indicating at least one scent to be dispensed by the scent dispensing device based on at least one user input provided by the first user via the first user device in response to the presentation of the plurality of scent options to the first user, wherein the generated data further indicates at least one condition, wherein the at least one condition includes an approval condition requiring that a second user of a second user device approve dispensing of the at least one scent;
• and
• transmit the generated data, wherein the scent dispensing device is configured to dispense the at least one scent based on the transmitted data such that the scent dispensing device is further configured to dispense the at least one scent only when the second user has approved the dispensing of the at least one scent.
