US 2019/0167831 A1 · SCENT ENHANCED TRAJECTORY

Abstract

Specified scents are generated having a strength corresponding to the proximity of the devices to a target object. Scent generation is adjustable according to pre-defined parameters associated with type of scent, location of an enabled device, weather conditions, geography, and the number of other enabled devices generating the type of scent. A virtual scent zone is generated by a scent-generating device according to a trajectory that provides for a user to move toward the target object by changing a characteristic of the generated scent according to the location of the scent-generating device along the trajectory.

Claims20

Dependent claims

A computer-implemented method for distance-based scent emission, the method including:

transmitting, by a scent-generating device, first location information;
receiving scent instructions based on the first location information, the scent instructions including an algorithm for emission of a specified scent;
and
determining a first scent emission response according to the scent instructions;
wherein:
the first location information includes a device location at a time of the transmitting action.
