Problems solved by technology

However, these conventional approaches tend to be sub-optimal with regard to initiating treatment of a space with a liquid or scent compound, and do not take into account fatigue or resistance by users or occupiers of the space.
Existing approaches also do not take into account operational characteristics of the diffusion devices i

Embodiment Construction

[0024]Reference will now be made in detail to exemplary aspects of the present invention which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers will be used throughout the drawings to refer to the same or like parts.

[0025]FIG. 1 illustrates a space or room 50 into which it is desired to disperse a liquid for treating the air or other objects within space 50 and an appliance 52 configured to disperse such a liquid. Space 50 is preferably at least semi-enclosed, so that the treatment liquid may be retained within the space to have the desired effect. A completely sealed space is not necessary and it is anticipated that spaces with open entrances and exits may be suitable for treatment according to the present disclosure. For example, a hotel lobby, a building foyer, and a casino floor may have entrances and exits for people accessing the space and may be treated according to the present disclosure. An open air pavilion or an outdoor stadium m...

Abstract

A method and system of controlling operation of a diffusion appliance to treat the atmosphere within an enclosed space. The appliance may be programmed to operate according to a control scheme specifying a flow rate of liquid to a diffusion means and a periodic operation of the diffusion means. Control schemes may be associated with different volumes of spaces to be treated by the appliance. Anti-fatigue schemes may provide variation of the flow rate or periodic operation of the appliance. Initiation controls schemes may be used to start treatment of the space before the appliance is programmed to operate according to one of the control schemes.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 13 / 090,240, filed Apr. 19, 2011 which is a continuation-in-part of commonly-owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11 / 691,363, filed on Mar. 26, 2007, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Technical Field[0003]The present disclosure relates generally to systems and methods of controlling operation of a liquid diffusion device.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]In existing scent and liquid diffusion devices, a variety of approaches to controlling the operation or output of the devices are currently used. However, these conventional approaches tend to be sub-optimal with regard to initiating treatment of a space with a liquid or scent compound, and do not take into account fatigue or resistance by users or occupiers of the space. Existing approaches also do not take into account operational characte...
