Abstract
A scent dispensing device may perform dynamic scent diffusion by identifying a scent type in a scent container of the fragrance management apparatus, determining a room dimension where the fragrance management apparatus is installed, determining a removal rate of a remaining scent in the scent container, determining a concentration level based on settings of the scent container, calculating a ppm output of the fragrance management apparatus for the scent type based on the room dimensions, the removal rate, and the concentration level, and causing the fragrance management apparatus to maintain a fragrance level based on the ppm output.
Claims20
A fragrance management apparatus, comprising:
- a non-volatile memory;
- and
- a controller of a fragrance management apparatus, the controller configured to execute instructions stored on the non-volatile memory to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a scent type in a scent container of the fragrance management apparatus;
- determining a room dimension where the fragrance management apparatus is installed;
- determining a removal rate of a remaining scent in the scent container;
- determining a concentration level based on settings of the scent container;
- calculating a ppm output of the fragrance management apparatus for the scent type based on the room dimension, the removal rate, and the concentration level;
- and
- causing the fragrance management apparatus to maintain a fragrance level based on the ppm output.
A method of maintaining a fragrance level comprising:
- identifying a scent type in a scent container of a fragrance management apparatus;
- determining a room dimension where the fragrance management apparatus is installed;
- determining a removal rate of a remaining scent in the scent container;
- determining a concentration level based on settings of the scent container;
- calculating a ppm output of the fragrance management apparatus for the scent type based on the room dimension, the removal rate, and the concentration level;
- and
- causing the fragrance management apparatus to maintain a fragrance level based on the ppm output.
A scent dispensing device that optimizes a scent output comprising:
- a non-volatile memory;
- and
- a controller of a scent dispensing device, the controller configured to execute instructions stored on the non-volatile memory to perform operations comprising:
- determining a desired scent intensity level setting based on user selected preferences;
- determining an identity of a scent in a scent container positioned within the scent dispensing device, the identity of the scent including a weight loss profile of the scent and a removal rate profile of the scent;
- determining a room dimension of a space where the scent dispensing device is positioned, the room dimensions being an estimated square footage of the space where the scent dispensing device is positioned;
- calculating a ppm output for the scent, the ppm output being an intensity level that the scent is output to fill the space with the scent to mimic the desired intensity level setting, the ppm output being calculated based on the weight loss profile of the scent, the removal rate profile of the scent, and the room dimension;
- and
- causing the scent dispensing device to emit the scent at the calculated ppm output.
