[0039] The purpose, features and advantages of the present invention will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0041] Some air conditioners have mounting locations on the housing for air handling modules, allowing for the integration of multiple air handling functions, such as humidification, purification, dust removal, and aromatherapy. This approach, while maintaining the cost of new equipment and footprint, allows for functional diversification to meet user needs, representing a future trend in home appliances.

[0042] As for the aromatherapy function, it is achieved by emitting the scent of the air into the air through its own volatilization, and does not require a controller to control it. Therefore, the air conditioner only provides installation space for the aromatherapy, and there is no substantial integration. This will at least cause the following problems:

[0043] First, it is impossible to know what type of fragrance is installed. The type of fragrance can only be known after disassembly, which is a cumbersome process.

[0044] Second, it is not possible to fully utilize the fragrance effects of different fragrance types and combine them with other air conditioning effects to achieve better conditioning effects.

[0045] Based on this, the present invention proposes the following embodiments, which solve the above-mentioned problems by substantially combining fragrance with an air conditioner, improve the integration effect of functions, and enhance the air treatment effect of the air conditioner.

[0046] To better understand the above technical solutions, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Instead, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0047] As an implementation method, the hardware environment architecture involved in the fragrance installation method of the air conditioner can be as follows: Figure 1 shown.

[0048] Specifically, the hardware architecture involved in the fragrance installation method for an air conditioner may include an air conditioner or a mobile terminal. This embodiment is described using an air conditioner as an example.

[0049] As an implementation, the air conditioner includes: a processor 101, such as a CPU, a memory 102, and a communication bus 103. The communication bus 103 is used to achieve connection and communication between these components. The processor 101 is used to call an application to execute an installation process.

[0050] The memory 102 may be a high-speed RAM memory or a non-volatile memory, such as a disk memory.

[0051] The air conditioner is provided with at least one installation position for installing an air treatment module. The air treatment module is detachably connected to the installation position, and the user can choose to install the air treatment module according to needs.

[0052] It is understood that, in one embodiment, the fragrance installation program for implementing the fragrance installation method of the air conditioner is stored in the memory 102 of the air conditioner. When the processor 101 calls the fragrance installation program from the memory 102, it performs the following operations:

[0053] When receiving a trigger signal of the fragrance installation function, outputting fragrance selection information;

[0054] Acquire an input target fragrance core based on the fragrance selection information;

[0055] Controlling the target fragrance core receiving chamber in the air processing module to move to the installation area;

[0056] After the target fragrance core is installed, the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core is displayed.

[0057] Alternatively, in another embodiment, a fragrance installation program for implementing the air conditioner fragrance installation method is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. When the storage medium is applied to a computer, the processor 101 of the computer may call the fragrance installation program from the storage medium and perform the following operations:

[0058] When receiving a trigger signal of the fragrance installation function, outputting fragrance selection information;

[0059] Acquire an input target fragrance core based on the fragrance selection information;

[0060] Controlling the target fragrance core receiving chamber in the air processing module to move to the installation area;

[0061] After the target fragrance core is installed, the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core is displayed.

[0062] Based on the hardware architecture of the air conditioner described above, various embodiments of the fragrance installation method for the air conditioner of the present invention are proposed.

[0063] First embodiment

[0064] Please refer to Figure 2 The fragrance installation method for an air conditioner proposed in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S10, upon receiving a trigger signal of the fragrance installation function, outputting fragrance selection information;

[0066] Step S20, obtaining an input target fragrance core based on the fragrance selection information;

[0067] Step S30, controlling the target fragrance core receiving chamber in the air processing module to move to the installation area;

[0068] Step S40 : After the target fragrance core is installed, the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core is displayed.

[0069] The fragrance installation method for an air conditioner in this embodiment can be run on an air conditioner or a mobile terminal. The following is an example of how to install the fragrance for an air conditioner:

[0070] The air conditioner of this embodiment is a modular air conditioner. By modularizing the various functions of the air conditioner, selectively installing modules, or selectively operating modules, the independent or combined effects of various functions can be achieved.

[0071] Optionally, the air conditioner is provided with at least one mounting location for selectively mounting an air treatment module, wherein the air treatment module is a module for conditioning air. Optionally, this embodiment uses a fragrance module as an example to illustrate its installation and integration with the air conditioner.

[0072] Optionally, the air processing module is provided with at least two fragrance core accommodating cavities, and the fragrance core accommodating cavities are used to accommodate fragrance cores. The air processing module includes a shell and a fragrance disk, the fragrance disk is arranged in the shell, and the fragrance core accommodating cavity is arranged on the fragrance disk. The shell is provided with at least one installation port, and the fragrance core accommodating cavity is located at a position opposite to the installation port as the installation area. In the installation area, the fragrance core accommodating cavity is connected to the installation port, and the user can install the fragrance core into the fragrance core accommodating cavity through the installation port. In the installation area, the installed fragrance core is connected to the external air through the installation port. In this way, after the fragrance core is installed, the air can be subjected to fragrance treatment.

[0073] Alternatively, in one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The fragrance disc can rotate relative to the shell. During the rotation of the fragrance disc, each fragrance core accommodating cavity 21 is connected to the installation port 22, so that installation through the installation port 22 is achieved, or fragrance treatment is performed to the air through the installation port 22.

[0074] Optionally, the air conditioner 10 has a fragrance installation function control, or a fragrance function triggering entry, such as a voice triggering entry or a gesture triggering entry. After the air handling module is installed in the installation position 11, when the user triggers the fragrance installation function control, or the user inputs a fragrance installation voice or gesture, the air conditioner receives a trigger signal for the fragrance installation function and outputs fragrance selection information, allowing the user to select the target fragrance core to be installed based on the fragrance selection information. At the same time, the air conditioner 10 controls the target fragrance core receiving cavity 21 in the air handling module to move to the installation area 23, allowing the user to install the target fragrance core into the target fragrance core receiving cavity 21 through the installation opening 22. After the target fragrance core is installed, the fragrance information of the target fragrance core is determined and displayed on the display panel of the air conditioner 10. Optionally, the fragrance core is a fragrance that can release a corresponding fragrance.

[0075] Optionally, the fragrance selection information includes a fragrance selection interface, such as selecting a fragrance core, or includes a voice announcement of the fragrance, such as announcing the fragrance core. Specifically, this embodiment integrates the air conditioner's display or voice functions to display the fragrance cores to be installed by the user through the fragrance selection interface, or to announce the fragrance cores through voice, allowing the user to select the fragrance core to be installed. The user then obtains the target fragrance core to be installed, thereby facilitating control over the integration of the target fragrance core with other functions.

[0076] Optionally, the displayed fragrance information includes at least one of the name of the target fragrance core, the service life of the target fragrance core, the functions and / or modes associated with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, and the service life of the functions and / or modes. Specifically, after acquiring a target fragrance core and determining that it is installed, the name of the target fragrance core is displayed on the air conditioner's display interface, allowing all users to view the current fragrance types available in the air conditioner. Furthermore, by displaying the service life of the target fragrance core, all users can view the current usage of the target fragrance core, thereby prompting users to replace the fragrance core promptly. Furthermore, when fragrances are associated with functions or modes of the air conditioner, after acquiring the target fragrance core, the associated functions and / or modes are determined based on the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, and the functions and / or modes that the target fragrance core can achieve are displayed. This allows users to view the functions and / or modes that the currently installed fragrance can achieve in combination with other modules of the air conditioner, thereby providing a reminder. And / or, the service life of the function and / or mode is displayed, so that the user can check the remaining time that the air conditioner can run the function and / or mode, and then prompt the user to update the module in time to extend the service life of the function and / or mode.

[0077] Optionally, the functions and / or modes associated with the fragrance type mentioned above refer to the functions and / or modes formed by combining the fragrance with other air treatment modules of the air conditioner. It is understandable that the air conditioner has multiple air treatment modules, and the functions of the air treatment modules can be the same or different. Multiple air treatment modules can be combined to form different functions and / or modes. This embodiment uses the fragrance type as one of the adjustment elements. In combination with other air treatment modules, more combined functions or modes can be achieved, such as purification function + fragrance function, to achieve a fragrance function or fragrance mode. For example, when the fragrance is lavender fragrance, the combination forms a flower sea fragrance mode. When the fragrance is sandalwood fragrance, the combination forms a quiet and elegant fragrance mode, etc. In this way, based on the above combination, the adjustment effect of the air conditioner in this embodiment is richer.

[0078] Optionally, in some embodiments, after obtaining the input target fragrance core, the air conditioner uses the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity in the air treatment module as the target fragrance core accommodating cavity (the air treatment module includes multiple fragrance core accommodating cavities, and the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity refers to the fragrance core accommodating cavity without fragrance installed), and then moves the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity to the installation area for the user to install the fragrance into the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity.

[0079] Optionally, in this embodiment, after detecting that the target fragrance core has been installed, the fragrance type of the target fragrance core is associated with the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity, and when receiving the use signal of the target fragrance core, or turning on the function and / or mode associated with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, the air conditioner determines the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity based on the target fragrance core or the fragrance type, and then intelligently controls the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity to move to the use position (in this embodiment, the use position is located in the installation area. In some embodiments, the use position may not be located in the installation position. The use position refers to the position where the fragrance core in the fragrance core accommodating cavity is connected to the outside air). In this way, by associating the fragrance type and the fragrance core accommodating cavity during the installation process of the target fragrance core, the intelligent control of the fragrance function is realized. Optionally, in the application scenario where multiple fragrance cores are installed at the same time, different types of fragrance cores can be switched according to needs, which can reduce the number of times the fragrance cores are installed and removed, providing convenience for users.

[0080] Optionally, in some embodiments, the fragrance disc can be ejected from the housing into the installation area, such that at least one fragrance core receiving cavity in the fragrance disc communicates with the installation opening. After a target fragrance core is installed in the fragrance core receiving cavity, the fragrance disc is retracted into the housing. When the fragrance disc is detected to be retracted, it is determined that the target fragrance core has been installed.

[0081] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the user may trigger an "Installation Completed / Replacement Completed" control on the display screen to determine that the target fragrance core has been installed. For example, in this embodiment, after the user installs the target fragrance core into the fragrance core receiving chamber and triggers the "Installation Completed / Replacement Completed" control, the air conditioner displays the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core.

[0082] Optionally, in other embodiments, various fragrance types are pre-associated with fragrance core accommodating chambers, for example, fragrance A is pre-associated with fragrance core accommodating chamber A, and fragrance B is pre-associated with fragrance core accommodating chamber B. After obtaining the input target fragrance core, the air conditioner obtains the fragrance core accommodating chamber in the air processing module that is pre-associated with the target fragrance core type, uses the fragrance core accommodating chamber as the target fragrance core accommodating chamber, and then controls the target fragrance core accommodating chamber to move to the installation area for the user to install the target fragrance core therein.

[0083] In this embodiment, each fragrance core accommodating cavity is predefined based on the fragrance type. If, when the user installs the fragrance core, the air conditioner controls the corresponding fragrance core accommodating cavity to move to the installation position according to the fragrance type, then after the user installs the fragrance core into the fragrance core accommodating cavity, the fragrance type is associated with the fragrance core accommodating cavity. In this way, when the air conditioner receives a use signal of the target fragrance core, or activates a function and / or mode associated with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, the air conditioner determines the target fragrance core accommodating cavity based on the target fragrance core or fragrance type, and then intelligently controls the idle fragrance core accommodating cavity to move to the use position. Compared with the above embodiment, this embodiment has better management of the fragrance core accommodating cavity and a one-to-one correspondence between the fragrance core accommodating cavities, without the need to switch the association between the fragrance core accommodating cavity and the fragrance type.

[0084] In this embodiment, upon receiving a trigger signal for the fragrance installation function, fragrance selection information is output; based on this fragrance selection information, a target fragrance core is input; the target fragrance core receiving chamber in the air handling module is controlled to move to the installation area; and after the target fragrance core is installed, the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core is displayed. By intelligently controlling the fragrance core installation process, the fragrance core installation information can be obtained during the installation process, and this information can be integrated with the air conditioner's functions, making the air conditioner more diverse and achieving a better combination of functions.

[0085] Second embodiment

[0086] This embodiment is based on the first embodiment mentioned above, please refer to Figure 4 , the fragrance installation method of the air conditioner also includes:

[0087] Step S50, obtaining identification information of the fragrance core to be installed, and determining the type of fragrance to be installed of the fragrance core to be installed based on the identification information;

[0088] Step S60, comparing the fragrance type to be installed and the fragrance type of the target fragrance core to see if they are the same;

[0089] If the fragrance type to be installed is different from the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, step S70 is executed to output an installation failure prompt message;

[0090] When the type of the fragrance to be installed is the same as the type of the target fragrance core, the step of controlling the target fragrance core accommodating chamber in the air processing module to move to the installation area is performed, that is, step S30 is performed.

[0091] It should be noted that the fragrance type entered by the user may differ from the actually installed fragrance type. For example, a user may select fragrance A, but fragrance B is installed. The target fragrance core directly retrieved by the air conditioner is actually obtained based on the user's input. Therefore, if the user-entered fragrance type differs from the actually installed fragrance type, the air conditioner's intelligent fragrance control may be inaccurate.

[0092] Based on this, this embodiment proposes that it is also necessary to obtain the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed to identify the fragrance type to be installed of the fragrance core to be installed, and then compare the fragrance type to be installed with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core to determine whether the fragrance type to be installed is consistent with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core. If they are consistent, it means that the fragrance type input by the user is the same as the fragrance type actually installed. At this time, the target fragrance core accommodating cavity in the air treatment module can be controlled to move to the installation area to install the target fragrance core. If they are inconsistent, it means that the fragrance type input by the user is inconsistent with the fragrance type actually installed. At this time, an installation failure prompt message is output to prompt the user that the installation is incorrect and the installation of the target fragrance core needs to be updated, such as updating the input fragrance type or updating the fragrance core to be installed.

[0093] Optionally, step S50 may be performed after or before step S20. If step S50 is performed before step S20, step S60 is performed after step S50 is performed and after step S20 is performed. That is, after determining the fragrance type of the fragrance core to be installed based on the identification information, and after obtaining the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, the fragrance type to be installed is compared with the fragrance type of the target fragrance core.

[0094] It should be noted that S10 to S70 in this embodiment are only serial numbers defined to distinguish the steps, and the serial numbers do not limit the order of the steps.

[0095] Optionally, in this embodiment, the method for obtaining the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed includes but is not limited to the following methods:

[0096] The air conditioner is provided with a preset identification area. The fragrance core to be installed is placed in the preset identification area. The electronic tag of the fragrance core to be installed is scanned based on the preset identification area, and the identification information is obtained based on the electronic tag information. For example, before installing the fragrance core to be installed, the user first scans the electronic tag of the fragrance core to be installed in the preset identification area to obtain the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed.

[0097] Optionally, the preset identification area is a near-field communication area on the air conditioner. When the user "taps" the fragrance core to be installed against the near-field communication area, the fragrance core to be installed communicates with the air conditioner and automatically sends the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed to the air conditioner 10. The air conditioner identifies the type of fragrance to be installed based on the identification information received through near-field communication. Alternatively, when the fragrance core to be installed approaches the near-field communication area, the near-field communication area directly reads the information on the label of the fragrance core to be installed, and then identifies the fragrance core to be installed based on the identification information.

[0098] Optionally, the near field communication area is provided with an RFID reader / writer, and each fragrance is provided with a tag that can be read and identified by RFID, and the tag identifies information such as the fragrance type of the fragrance.

[0099] Optionally, the preset identification area can be set at any location on the air conditioner, such as on a display panel. Optionally, the preset identification area can also be set in each fragrance core receiving cavity, such that after the fragrance core to be installed is installed in the fragrance core receiving cavity, the preset identification area scans the identification information of the installed fragrance.

[0100] Alternatively, the air conditioner obtains the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed through information transmitted by the communicating mobile terminal.

[0101] For example, after the user obtains the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed through the camera of the mobile terminal or the RFID card reader, the identification information is sent to the air conditioner. After obtaining the identification information, the air conditioner determines the fragrance type of the fragrance core to be installed and then executes step S60.

[0102] During the installation of the fragrance core, this embodiment obtains the identification information of the fragrance core to be installed, and determines the fragrance type to be installed of the fragrance core to be installed based on the identification information; then compares whether the fragrance type to be installed is the same as the fragrance type of the target fragrance core; when the fragrance type to be installed is different from the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, an installation fault prompt message is output, prompting the user that the fragrance installed is different from the input fragrance type, and installing the fragrance will cause inaccurate fragrance intelligent control. When the fragrance type to be installed is the same as the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, the target fragrance core accommodating chamber in the air processing module is controlled to move to the installation area, and the target fragrance core is installed normally. In this way, it is possible to avoid the situation where the fragrance actually installed is different from the fragrance input by the user through the fragrance selection interface or voice / gesture input interface of the air conditioner, which affects the intelligent control effect of the air conditioner.

[0103] Third embodiment

[0104] This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 After the step of acquiring the input target fragrance core based on the fragrance selection information, the method further includes:

[0105] Step S80: Determine the function and / or mode corresponding to the fragrance type of the target fragrance core, and associate the fragrance type of the target fragrance core with the function and / or mode.

[0106] Optionally, the function is a function that the air conditioner can achieve, and the mode is a mode in which the air conditioner can operate and achieve. The function may be an aromatherapy function, a purification function, or a fragrance function. The mode may be a scene mode, such as a flower sea fragrance mode or a quiet and elegant fragrance mode.

[0107] The functions and / or modes may be implemented by a single air processing module or by a combination of at least two such air processing modules. The combination of air processing modules may be implemented by a combination of identical air processing modules or by a combination of different air processing modules. Optionally, the air processing module includes, but is not limited to, a fragrance module. Examples of air processing modules include, but are not limited to, a purification module, a dehumidification module, a filtration module, and a formaldehyde removal module.

[0108] In this embodiment, the fragrance is combined with the various air treatment modules of the air conditioner to form different functions and / or modules, and then the fragrance type and function and / or module are associated and bound. In this way, when the air conditioner is running the function and / or mode, it can automatically control the corresponding associated fragrance to rotate to the use position, and adjust the environment of the room where the air conditioner is located in combination with other air treatment modules under the function and / or mode, so that the indoor environment can achieve the desired effect corresponding to the function and / or mode under the combined adjustment of the fragrance and other air treatment modules.

[0109] Optionally, after the step of obtaining the input target fragrance core based on the fragrance selection information, step S90 may also be included, determining the function and / or mode realized by the fragrance type combination corresponding to the target fragrance core, and associating the fragrance type combination with the function and / or mode, wherein the target fragrance core includes at least two fragrance types.

[0110] In this embodiment, compared with the above embodiment, the difference is that when the air conditioner outputs the fragrance selection information, the user can input at least two fragrance types based on the fragrance selection information, such as inputting two fragrances, which are two types of fragrances to form the target fragrance core.

[0111] When the user inputs two fragrance types, the air conditioner needs to control at least two target fragrance core accommodating cavities to move to the installation area for the user to install the two fragrances. Then, based on the two fragrance types, the functions and / or modes that can be achieved by their combination are determined, and the fragrance type combination is then bound and associated with the function and / or module. Similarly, when the air conditioner is running the function and / or mode, it can automatically control the corresponding associated fragrance type combination to rotate to the use position, and adjust the environment of the room where the air conditioner is located in combination with other air treatment modules under the function and / or mode, so that the indoor environment can achieve the desired effect corresponding to the function and / or mode under the combined regulation of the fragrance and other air treatment modules.

[0112] In this embodiment, the influence of the fragrance on the indoor air can be adjusted by using two types of fragrance. The fragrance combination can obtain more different fragrance effects, further enriching the fragrance function of the air conditioner.

[0113] Optionally, the fragrance type combination may be formed by combining at least two fragrance types included in the target fragrance core, or may be formed by combining two fragrance types of the target fragrance core and fragrance types of other installed fragrances.

[0114] Fourth embodiment

[0115] This embodiment is based on all the above embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 After the target fragrance core is installed, after the step of displaying the fragrance information corresponding to the target fragrance core, the method further includes:

[0116] Step S100, detecting the remaining service life of the fragrance cores in the fragrance core accommodating chambers other than the target fragrance core accommodating chamber in the air processing module;

[0117] Step S200: When the remaining service life of the fragrance core is less than or equal to a preset threshold, outputting a reminder message for installing the fragrance core in the other fragrance core receiving cavity.

[0118] Optionally, to reduce the number of fragrance installations, the air conditioner also features a function that automatically prompts the user to replace the fragrance. For example, after the user triggers the fragrance installation, the air conditioner automatically detects the remaining lifespan of all installed fragrances in the fragrance core cavities. If the remaining lifespan is less than or equal to a preset threshold, the fragrance in the fragrance core cavities needs to be replaced promptly, otherwise the fragrance's conditioning effect will not be achieved. At this point, the air conditioner outputs a fragrance core installation reminder message, prompting the user to replace the target fragrance core at the same time as the other fragrances in the fragrance core cavities. This allows the user to replace all fragrances nearing the end of their lifespan at once, eliminating the need for multiple replacements.

[0119] Optionally, the remaining lifespan of the fragrance cores in the other fragrance core cavities can be determined based on the usage time of the fragrance. After the fragrance is installed, the usage time of the fragrance is recorded and updated in real time to the electronic tag of the fragrance, thereby recording the lifespan of the fragrance on the electronic tag. The air conditioner can determine the remaining lifespan of the fragrance core based on the identification information recorded on the electronic tag.

[0120] Optionally, after obtaining identification information of the fragrance core to be installed, the service life of the target fragrance core is obtained based on the identification information; if the remaining service life of the target fragrance core is equal to the rated service life, the target fragrance core is determined to be an unused fragrance. After the target fragrance core is installed, the usage time of the target fragrance core is recorded and updated in real time to the electronic tag of the fragrance, so that the service life of the target fragrance core is recorded on the electronic tag. When other fragrances are installed, the remaining service life of the target fragrance core can be obtained based on the electronic tag of the target fragrance core.

[0121] Optionally, when the remaining usage time of the target fragrance core is less than the rated life, the target fragrance core is determined to be a previously used fragrance, and usage information of the fragrance is output to prompt the user of the usage of the installed fragrance. Upon receiving the confirmation information, the target fragrance core is installed.

[0122] In some embodiments, since the target fragrance core has been used, the service life of the target fragrance core cannot be accurately calculated. In this case, the usage time of the target fragrance core is not displayed, or the target fragrance core is marked as a used target fragrance core.

[0123] In other embodiments, the electronic tag of the target fragrance core records the usage information of the target fragrance core. Based on the usage information, the usage time of the target fragrance core can be further recorded to determine the remaining service life of the target fragrance core. When the remaining service life of the target fragrance core is about to end, a replacement reminder for the target fragrance core can be output.

[0124] The present invention provides an air conditioner, which includes a memory, a processor, and a fragrance installation program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the fragrance installation program is executed by the processor, the steps of the fragrance installation method for the air conditioner as described above are implemented.

[0125] In addition, the present invention also provides a storage medium, which stores a fragrance installation program. When the fragrance installation program is executed by a processor, the steps of the fragrance installation method for the air conditioner are implemented as described above.

[0126] It should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
