Abstract
Systems and methods to treat an environment. The system includes a plurality of scent control material sources configured to output a scent control material (e.g., an oxidant) into the environment to reduce pathogens, dispose of scent molecules and their sources, and otherwise treat the environment. The system can include a controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of scent control material sources and cause one or more subsets of the plurality of scent control material sources to individually or collectively output scent control material into the environment.
Claims20
A device for treating an environment, the device comprising:
- a scent control material source configured to generate a scent control material;
- a humidifier source comprising at least one of water, a chemical, or a compound;
- a humidifier including a diffuser operably coupled to the humidifier source to generate a humidifier output;
- and
- a controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storage comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to:
- perform, during a treatment cycle, a scent control treatment comprising a release of the scent control material from the scent control material source into an environment;
- and
- perform, after completion of the treatment cycle, a dilution cycle comprising a release of the humidifier output from the humidifier into the environment, the dilution cycle configured to reduce a concentration of the scent control material in the environment.
A system, comprising:
- a treatment device comprising:
- a scent control material source configured to generate a scent control material;
- a humidifier source comprising at least one of water, a chemical, or a compound;
- a humidifier including a diffuser operably coupled to the humidifier source to generate a humidifier output;
- and
- a controller comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory storage comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the device to:
- perform, during a treatment cycle, a scent control treatment comprising a release of the scent control material from the scent control material source into an environment;
- and
- perform, after completion of the treatment cycle, a dilution cycle comprising a release of the humidifier output from the humidifier into the environment, the dilution cycle configured to reduce a concentration of the scent control material in the environment;
- and
- a network device communicatively coupled to the treatment device and comprising a user interface.
The system of 18, wherein the ambient characteristics are based on one or more user inputs.
