Description

[0001] Device and method for testing, preparing, spraying perfume, and diffusing incense

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to an IOT device, particularly connected accessories for diffusing perfumes and incenses. It stands at the intersection of two distinct technological fields: on one side, mobile connected device accessories, and on the other, the technology for preparing and testing new perfumes and incenses.

[0004] BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0005] In recent years, mobile device have undergone significant evolution, not only to protect smartphones but also to extend their functionalities. On the other hand, fragrance technology has also progressed towards innovative applications beyond traditional personal use, now including health, well-being, and enhanced sensory experiences.

[0006] In the field of scent diffusion via mobile devices, the technological landscape reveals an innovative yet relatively unexplored domain, with the recent emergence of practical applications. Historically, scent diffusion technology was primarily limited to sectors such as sensory marketing and immersive experiences. In these contexts, devices were often bulky and designed for controlled environments, far from the portability and integration with mobile devices. However, with advancements in microelectronics and innovative materials, significant progress has been made towards miniaturizing scent diffusion systems, allowing for their integration into small portable accessories. Early initiatives included prototypes and limited products capable of producing scents on demand or in response to digital stimuli, but these solutions often lacked the complexity required for full customization or seamless integration with smartphone digital content. Despite these advancements, there remains great potential for innovation, particularly regarding more efficient and customizable scent diffusion systems, naturally integrated into smartphone functionalities and applications, thus representing a significant evolution from the previous technology-limited approach and market reception at the time.

[0007] In the field of Korean patents number 10-204406, a method for controlling a perfume diffusion device is described, involving determining matching information for this signal and sending a control signal to the online perfume or incense diffusion device based on this selection and matching information. This includes the process executed by the online diffusion device to release the perfume and sound in response to the control signal, using various information such as the number of selection signals or weather data to determine matching information, managing the remaining quantity of perfume and associated purchases, updating available sounds, and programming perfume and sound diffusion based on reservation information. The elements also include a server running on control software, and a system comprising a mobile device, a server, and an online diffusion device to execute the method. The system also includes control software to execute the online diffusion device control method.

[0008] Additionally, on the website http: / / scentee-machina.com / , an intelligent fragrance device called Scentee Machina for rooms equipped with Internet of Things technology offers complete control from your smartphone. It analyzes your favorite fragrances through integrated loT technology and automatically proposes the suitable perfume for each time of the day, thus offering an interactive and personalized fragrance experience. With four 50ml capsules, it is suitable for all environments and allows total control of perfume diffusion, providing a comfortable and soothing atmosphere at any time. Moreover, "Scentee Machina" also offers a portable version, "Scentee Uno", for personal use in more restricted places such as bedrooms or bathrooms. With a 50ml bottle, it offers the same control features via a smartphone application, providing a continuous and convenient fragrance experience for every moment of the day.

[0009] In the market for smart fragrance diffusers, numerous companies compete to offer unique and innovative olfactory experiences to users. Among these companies are names such as Aera, Moodo, Pura, and Air Wick Essential Mist, which offer advanced technologies to control odors and provide personalized experiences to users. By integrating the new invention into a mobile phone case, these experiences can be further enhanced, allowing users to enjoy their favorite fragrances white using their phones.

[0010] Also, in the link https: / / www. youtube. com / watch?v=9VbHvEP0LeQ, a device containing several perfume samples, linked to a specific manufacturer or supplier and specified according to a list containing details of the different available perfumes. The device allows the user to experience different perfumes on the list before making a purchasing decision. With the connection to the smartphone, the user can download a dedicated application that allows interaction with the device and experience the fragrance. However, this device does not allow integration or installation of perfume according to the user's preference and is restricted to the available perfumes only. It is located in a separate device which hinders the process of carrying and diffusion and is not a mobile phone cover. It relies on dry perfumes and its mechanism of operation is not explained. It cannot experience new perfumes from the store, only custom fragrances. It does not have a mechanism for remote testing of incense. It cannot integrate perfumes to form a large number of scents. The current state of technology faces many major problems and challenges. First and foremost, there is often a gap between technological developments and their widespread adoption by the public. This can be attributed to barriers such as the high cost of new technologies.

[0011] BRIEF STATEMENT OF THE INVENTION

[0012] According to a first embodiment, there is provided a device designed to be controlled via a smartphone, enabling automated and highly customizable perfume dispensing. The device comprises:

[0013] -A rotating disk equipped with several refillable cartridges. These cartridges, strategically arranged on the disk, can be precisely positioned beneath an electric actuator as the disk rotates. Each cartridge contains perfumes or perfume compounds that can be selected based on the user's preferences. The operation of the device is facilitated by the activation of an electric actuator, which works on the principle of a syringe to precisely and accurately eject the desired amount of perfume into a dedicated mixing chamber. This ejection process is designed to ensure an exact and measured distribution of perfume, allowing for consistent and uniform diffusion. This activation and diffusion method is specifically designed to not only offer unmatched precision in perfume distribution but also complete adaptability to the specific needs and desires of the user. By enabling the user to choose and combine scents according to mood or occasion, this device offers a personalized and unique experience, adjusting the ambiance of a space with remarkable simplicity and efficiency.

[0014] - Diffusion System with Burner and Laser: The device is equipped with an innovative mechanism for simultaneously burning incense without chemical reactions and igniting it via laser beams. This feature allows for rapid and efficient diffusion while providing precise control over the intensity, timing of the release, and duration. It also eliminates chemical reactions between incompatible incenses, ensuring safe material handling and allowing for the desired combination of scents. This system contributes to an enriched user experience that can be adapted to various personal preferences or circumstances.

[0015] The present invention aims to resolve problems associated with the current state of the art by introducing innovative and improved solutions. These problems, well- documented in the relevant fields, include inefficiencies, technical limitations, and operational complications that hinder the performance and functionality of existing systems. By acknowledging these challenges, our invention offers solutions to the aforementioned technical problems.

[0016] Problem 1 : Chemical Interactions Between Different Incenses

[0017] When different types of incense are burned together, chemical reactions between the volatile compounds can create mixtures of scents that are not always pleasant. This interaction can result from combining complex aromatic compounds that are not chemically compatible, leading to unexpected or disagreeable reaction products. The challenge lies in controlling these reactions to achieve a pleasant and harmonious scent combination.

[0018] Problem 2: Perfume Preparation and Testing by Amateurs

[0019] Perfume enthusiasts or users with moderate knowledge may face difficulties in formulating, testing, and replicating perfumes. Creating a perfume requires an understanding of the balance of olfactory notes and the chemical stability of components, as well as access to appropriate tools and materials. It is also crucial to be able to test the perfume in real conditions to evaluate how it evolves on the skin and in the environment.

[0020] Problem 3: Demonstrating and Selling Perfumes Online Buying perfumes online poses a significant challenge: the description of scents is abstract and may not accurately reflect the real olfactory experience. Consumers often hesitate to purchase perfumes without having tested them first, which limits the effectiveness of online sales for fragrant products. Creating a system that allows users to physically test perfumes before making an online purchase could transform this industry.

[0021] Problem 4: Integration of a Perfume Diffuser into a Phone Accessory

[0022] As technology converges, mobile phones are increasingly replacing more personal accessories. Integrating a perfume diffuser into a phone accessory could be an innovative solution for users who want to carry their favorite fragrance in a convenient and discreet manner. This requires miniaturization of diffusion technologies and a design that does not interfere with the phone's functionalities.

[0023] This invention presents novel solutions to overcome prevalent issues identified in the current state of the art concerning the formulation, testing, and distribution of fragrances and incenses. Existing methods for combining aromatic substances often lead to unpredictable and undesirable chemical interactions, complicating the creation of pleasant scents. Additionally, the lack of accessible tools for amateur perfumers to experiment and validate their creations, coupled with the challenges inherent in purchasing perfumes online — where olfactory experiences cannot be conveyed effectively through text descriptions — underscore the need for innovative approaches. Furthermore, the integration of scent diffusion technology into commonly used personal devices, such as mobile phones, represents a growing demand for convenience in personal scent application. This invention aims to address these multifaceted challenges by introducing advanced methods and systems that enhance the user experience in perfume customization, testing, and usage in a digital and increasingly mobile-driven world.

[0044] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs. The system, methods, and examples provided herein are illustrative only and not intended to be limiting.

[0045] Embodiments of the present disclosure will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] Referring to Figures 1 , 2, and 3, Device 1 comprises a System 3 for test preparation and perfume diffusion, which includes a rotating disk 35 and perfume cartridges 31. The rotating disk 35 enables the selection among various perfume cartridges. Each cartridge 31 can be activated by an electric actuator at a specific position to eject a predetermined amount of perfume into a mixing chamber.

[0047] The mixing mechanism ensures that the ejected perfume is thoroughly blended before diffusion. This is essential for maintaining consistent fragrance intensity and quality as the perfume is dispersed into the surrounding environment.

[0048] Additionally, Device 1 incorporates a unique laser burning and incense ignition mechanism using laser beams 6, and a disk for storage and burning of incense 2. Referring to Figure 6 The fragrance dispensing system. The magazine tray (3) is strategically designed to rotate indexedly between multiple positions, which facilitates the handling and rotational movement of perfume cartridges (31). This rotational motion is enabled by a stepper motor that meshes with gear (34), positioning the capsules accurately in front of the electric actuator (33).

[0049] In one embodiment of the invention, this system integrates position sensors (24) that play a crucial role in enhancing the functionality and efficiency of the perfume and incense diffusion device. These sensors are strategically placed to continuously monitor the position of each cartridge within the motorized rotating disk (35). This ensures that each cartridge is precisely aligned with the electric actuator (33) before activation.

[0050] The precision provided by these sensors is essential for consistent performance of the diffusion system. When the user selects a perfume or incense via the mobile application, the stepper motor (36) and gear system (34) adjust the disk's position based on the input. As the disk rotates, the position sensors verify the exact location of the cartridge, ensuring it is perfectly positioned under the electric actuator. This precise alignment is crucial for the accurate ejection of perfume compounds into the mixing chamber (32), as any misalignment could lead to uneven distribution orwastage of the perfume compounds.

[0051] In the preferred embodiment, a specifically indexed slot (11) is anticipated within the device (1) to allow for the insertion of perfume cartridges (31) into the magazine tray (3). Although only one cartridge insertion is depicted in Figure 2, the design accounts for multiple. A flange part of the cartridge (31) is engineered as part of the cartridge's structure (3) to receive the capsule's flange (31).

[0052] Conversely, the opposite end of the cartridge's piston is equipped with a nozzle intended for the precise dispensing of perfume into the mixing chamber (32). This end is likely designed to facilitate the controlled release of fragrance, ensuring an accurate blend within the chamber (32).

[0053] According to one embodiment of the invention and referring to Figure 5, which shows a cross-sectional view of the mechanism by which a disk22 comes into contact with a guiding and ejection lever 23. Upon manual insertion of the disk, it pushes the guiding and ejection fever 23. This movement results in the unlocking of the guiding fever 23, allowing for the formation of a loading space suitable for the disk. Once the disk 22 is in the closed position, a switch (not shown) can be activated to engage the disk rotating drive unit 21 , which initiates the rotation of disk 22. When the disk 22 is removed from the device 1 , moving away from the operating position to open position, the drive switch is deactivated, thus stopping the drive unit 21.

[0054] The disk 22 comprise: a rotating disk 221 and a cover 222 witch is equipped by slots on the upper surface 222 to allow the evacuation of incense smoke and with a boss 223 on its circumferential surface that engages with a corresponding groove on the rotating disk 221. This latching mechanism ensures a closure between the cover 222 and the disk 221 . Both elements 221 and 222 have opposing grooves which, when assembled, form a circular space intended to store incense to be burned.

[0055] According to an embodiment of the invention and referring to Figure 7, which describes the controlled movement mechanism of the laser holder 65:

[0056] The movement along the X-axis of the laser holder 65 is induced by a worm gear system 64, driven by a stepper motor affixed to the body 66. The end of the worm gear 64 is also attached to the body. The rotation of the worm gear is achieved by coupling a shaft to the stepper motor to convert the stepper motor's rotation into linear motion. The movement along the Y-axis, perpendicular to the X-axis, is controlled by a rack and pinion system 63. The rotation of a motor meshed with the rack allows for the translation of the body 66 along the Y-axis. Consequently, this also results in the displacement of the laser 61 mounted on the holder. This dual-control system ensures the precise positioning of the laser 61 for burning the incense present in the circular grooves of the tray 22.

[0057] According to one embodiement of the presente invention and referring to Figure 9 a device 1 comprise :

[0058] - a charging system using electromagnetic coils (7) , allowing for the recharging of lithium batteries, allowing to the device to be charged is placed on a charging stationer with an external power source.

[0059] - The Electronic Control Circuit (5) manages the current flow in the primary coil to enhance the efficiency of energy transmission and to ensure the charging process adheres to safety standards, as well as to control the various electronic components.

[0060] - The Lithium Battery is stored within the device and receives energy from the magnetic field produced by the coil to recharge.

[0061] In accordance with an embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figure 8, it showcases a system embedded within a phone cover, crafted to emit perfume. This design accommodates several interchangeable perfume capsules (3T) that are meticulously designed to be completely sealed, thereby preventing any leakage. Each capsule holds a distinct scent or a component of perfume, such as solvents or diluents, engineered for easy user replacement without the risk of leakage; these may also include solvents or other fragrance components. These capsules are linked via slender tubes (39) to a "smart valve" (38). This valve features several inlets, each corresponding to a perfume tube, and a single outlet (40) for dispensing the mixed or diluted fragrance. A pump (37), powered by a motor (36), is tasked with moving the diluted or blended perfume to the discharge nozzle (13) or to various scent diffusion nozzles. These nozzles spray the perfume onto a test strip (14), enabling the user to experience the scent without it directly contacting the skin.

[0062] In one embodiment of the invention featuring transverse cartridge design, as depicted in Figure 13, the smart valve 38 facilitates the extraction of perfume from the cartridges 31'. It possesses an inlet with multiple apertures 383, where each aperture is linked to a tube for perfume access. The smart valve 38 also comprise an outlet 381 , which is connected to the pump 37. Additionally, the smart valve incorporates a selection mechanism shaped as a piston 384, which is outfitted with an orifice 382 for the perfume to pass through. This piston is actuated by a crankshaft 386 that is driven by a stepper motor 385.

[0063] Another objective of the present invention is to provide a perfume spraying system or incense diffusion system comprising a diffusion and spraying device connected to a mobile phone or user terminal, along with a server connected to mobile phones via the Internet. This allows the user to input and select perfume or incense information based on movements made by the user on the terminal screen. This information includes choices, adjustments, compositions, and quantities of perfume to be sprayed or incense to be burned. This system includes a server comprising a central processing unit (CPU), storage unit, memory unit, and communication unit, all connected to mobile devices via a communication network. The server can be configured as a single device, a set of devices, or even a cloud server.

[0064] A management device, implemented by perfume shops, allows for the addition of perfume models or compositions and the establishment of correspondences between different types of perfumes to create a database. Additionally, a matrix of perfume compatibility and doses, as well as the ability to mix and dilute, is available.

[0065] A mobile device can be a smartphone, tablet, or cell phone, typically an electronic device designed to be carried by the user and associated with a phone case.

[0066] The user's device, i.e., the phone, includes various interconnected components for exchanging data, including the phone case's processing unit, which acts as a controller to execute programs stored in the storage unit, calculate data, and perform processing. This unit can receive data from the phone and transmit calculation results to the smart sensors and electronic components of the phone case.

[0067] In one embodiment of the invention, the device includes a mechanism for burning incense and oud wood, providing a personalized and effective user experience. Capsules containing perfumes in cartridges and / or incense in an incense store are arranged in rotating trays.

[0068] The control unit manages time, dosage, and validation of user choices, as well as controlling operating time, intervals, and diffusion cycles based on user-input data. This feature offers increased flexibility in customizing the user experience, allowing the user to precisely adjust settings according to preferences. With this advanced control capability, the user can tailor the device's operation to specific needs.

[0069] The invention also encompasses a computer-implemented method of perfume diffusion through a spraying and perfume diffusion device comprising the following steps: - Connecting the device (1) to user terminal (100) via a connection or network (200) .

[0070] - Receiving a command from the user's terminal (100) to select the perfume.

[0071] - Connecting the user's phone to application server (400) or events server (500) to obtain the required doses from different perfume cartridges or to select doses according to the user's choice.

[0072] - Activating a pump to draw perfume from the cartridges.

[0073] - Regulating the flow of perfume through the smart valve to obtain the specified doses and selections.

[0074] - Controlling the time and dose of diffusion using the electronic circuit.

[0075] - Spraying the perfume on a test paper to conduct a test, generating an identifier code for the perfume, and sending this code to a perfume supplier to produce the quantity requested by the user.

[0076] In another embodiment of the invention, the method includes steps of linking the device's control unit with the phone's processing unit to convert audio or visual information. This allows for actions such as spraying the specified perfume through the pump in response to the action or information received from the phone, for example, associating a perfume with a digital experience such as a ringtone or call to a specific contact.
